 COURT DEGREES

LOS ANGELES, July 31.-Film Actress Martha ODriscoll must wait until the war is over or her hus- band, Navy Comdr. Richard D. Adams, is out of the service, to prosecute her divorce suit against him.

FLYING TIGERS AT
 STRAND THEATER
John Wayne Plays Role of Young Squadron Leader
 Over Burma

A spectacle with epic sweep, Re- public's Flying Tigers" which re- turned last night at the Strand Theatre, won unqualified praise from all who witnessed its dramatic unfolding. Much may appear on the printed page about the bravery of the various fighting services abroad, but motion picture is worth reams and reams of printed matter when it comes to bringing home to patriotic Americans the bravery of the men who are pro- tecting their homes, their families and their way of life.
 John Wayne, who may always be counted on to deliver a smooth, polished and sincere performance doesn't fail in his top starring role. He portrays the young Squadron Leader of the Flying Tigers, whose exploits protecting the Burma road will go down in history as an i'm mortal saga of technical skill and personal heroism.
 John Carroll adds to his laurels in the role of Wood Jason" the harum scarum pilot whose reck- lessness all but precipitates crisis in the ranks of the American Vol unteer Group.
 Anna Lee, whose work in How Green Was My Valley" won her the accolade of all critics, is ex- cellently cast as Brooks Elliott" the volunteer Red Cross worker who sares the hardships of the boys patrolling the Burma Road.

"A ROYAL SCANDAL
 AT LOEW-POLl'S
Tallulah Bankhead Plays Role of Catherine the
 Great" in Rare Comedy

New playing at the Loew-Poli theatre is "A Royal Scandal" in which the famous "Lubitsch touch" has cut loose again, and this time 1t has delivered a walloping pack age of top entertaining and the most hilarious hit yet from the screens master of subtle, saucy comedy.
 With Tallulah Bankhead, Charles Coburn, Anne Baxter and William Eythe in starring roles. "A Royal Scandal tells of some merry go- ings-on in the Russian Imperial Palace during the reign of amorous, glamorous Catherine the Great. While the titillating tale related here is not mentioned in the his tory books, Catherine the Great be- Ing Catherine the Great, the whole Smacks of more than mere keyhole scandal, and is twice as delectable.-
 The picture races at mad and merry pace through three wonder ful days and three wonder-filled nights with the queen who felt oh- so-alone on the throne and needed men around her all the time. Out side her regal presence, the men are busy as beavers plotting her overthrow.
 What happens when a handsome and utterly loyal young lieutenant tries to warn her of the impending loss of her throne, and Catherine, more impressed by his virility than by his warning, promotes him to the rank of general only to have her patronage turn him into revo- lutlonary rather than romantic channels makes for saucily rich film fare, and the most delightful ly delicious hit of the year.
 Tallulah Bankhead plays Gather me the Great to royal fare-thee- well. In her hands, what might have otherwise been handled as merely broad characterizat tion, emerges as joyously, conceived exquisitely delft portrayal. In brief Tallulah is terrific
 AS the willy Chancellor, Charles Coburn proves once again the stuff Of which Academy Award winners are made. This is his most natural lole, ana ms best. Anne Baxter of- fers a wonderful surprise in her first glamorous role as the lady-in- waiting who unexpectedly finds her. self in romantic competition with the queen herself.
 William Eythe definitely estab- fishes star status as the young lieu tenant who obeys the queens every command-with pleasure, whom she kisses lingeringly and with passion ate tenderness, and although they are acting, he comes out Of the kiss dazed.

SALTY O'ROURKE'
 TOPS STATE BILL
Alan Ladd in Excellent Role; Andrew Sisters in
 Second Feature

Salty O'Rourke," dramatic story of the turf with Alan Ladd and Gail Russel, in co-starring roles, is currently at Warmers State theater where it will continue showing through performances Tuesday evening.
 The picture is based on the sport of kings, horse racing, and critics say it's an appropriate vehicle for the Ladds talents in his second film since returning to civilian life.
 Alans first was And Now To- morrow following his army hitch. In that one he co-starred with Lor- etta Young and proved his pulling power with audiences had not di- minished on whit. As far as the cast of Salty O,Rourke' goes, critics state that the chosen characters are Well-fitted to their tasks.
 William Demarest, the perennial favorite of all Preston Sturges' films, is on hand as Ladds side kick and trainer. Stanley "Stash' Clements is the wise-cracking JoIhCy "1lO llll/1 CooCo GO Ao'OA 0DAJ as he did in Going My Way" which won him quick fame as the ring leader of tough gang who turned into choir boys. Two other fine per- formers are Spring Byington and Bruce Cabot, the latter a big time gambler who puts the finger on Ladd.
 Her Lucky Night featuring the Andrews Sisters and score of other favorites is the second hit of the current show. The latest news of the day as brought to the screen by Paramount News will round out the program.
 Coming Wednesday to the State is "Salome, Where She Danced produced in technicolor and featur- ing Yvonne De Carlo, now screen sensation, with Rod Cameron, Da- vid Bruce, Walter Slezak and score of other favorites. Hi Beautiful with Walter Ctlett and Hattie Mo Daniel will be the second hit of Wednesdays new show.
