! HIT FEATURES ON
 WEEKEND SHOWS
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Local theatre-goers are in for a comedy treat hit in the hilarious farce One Thrilling Night" opening at the goth Century tonight for a two day run.
 John Beal and Wanda Mckay play the leading roles, and are seen as a guileless young pair of newly weds from a small town in Connecticut, who have time for one-night honeymoon in New York City be- fore he must report to the army for induction. No sooner have they be- gun preparations for retiring than they are startled to find an ap- parently dead man in their hotel room. They run down the hall to summon the acutely dumb house de- tective, but by the time he can re- turn with them the body has dis appeared.
 Thus begins a series of exciting and uproariously funny adventures which continue tI,ougout the night, and afford them no more privacy than if they were camped in the middle of Broadway. They find that their room has become the focal point of constantly changing gang war. and neither house de- tective nor police force seem to be able to do much about it. Instead it is said, the complications mount in hilarity to the climax.
 The other hit feature is Texas to Bataan."

POLl'S

Currently playing at the Loew- Poli theater is the dazzling new technicolor drama -with-music Mob Hill". starring George Raft. Joan Bennett. Vivian Blaine and Peggy Ann Garner. Packed with action that's tough and love that's rough, thrilling with the exciting hurly- burly of one of Americas most fab ulous play spots, it is the story of the love battle that made the Bar bary Coast pause in its song, turn from its women and reach flor its hips.
 George Raft, in his greatest role to date, is seen as the owner of the Gold Coast", Frisco's most famous cabaret. rough and tough. yet gen. erous with money and romance, Raft is known to all as "The Angel Joan Bennett is seen as the bold and beautiful blue blood from Mob Hill who risks all for taste of the thrills the Barbary Coast has to offer. Radiant Vivian Blaine, the Cherry Blonde" who catapulted to stardom in 8 spectacularly short time, is the Gold Coasts" star en- tertainer with more than a profess sional interest in her boss. George Raft. And to top it all, Mob Hill" presents Peggy Ann Garner follow ing fresh on the heels of her sen- sational triumph as "Francie" in "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn"-a performance that set her at the very top rung of Hollywood child star dom.
 Top tunesmiths Jimmy McHugh and Harold AdamSon have written a pair of wonderful songs that are hit parade bound - T Walked In With My Eyes Wide Open" and T Don't Care Who Knows It." All are sung by Vivian Blaine in scenes highlighted with dazzling dance routines created by Nick Castle.
 The lusty and enthralling story of a warmly human conflict between the Barbary Coast denizens and the Mob Hill aristocrats-and of the man who gambled love in an att tempt to bridge the chasm between the two-is crowded with scenes ot excitement and poignant emotional impact.
 Superstitious about repeating the coin -flipping stunt that brought him fame in "Scarface", George Raft compromised by tossing coins with equal accuracy for a scene in Mob Hill" As the Baybary Coast cafe owner, Raft's coin-throwing has e happy symbolism: Raft throws the coin-a five-dollar gold-piece- not to himself but to his patrons, and the lucky catcher wins the everything he-house" tablet
 Featured in the cas. of the hit film are Alan 'Faistaff Openshaw" Reed. B. S. Fully, Emil Coleman and Edgar Barrier.
 '. On the same program you will al. so see the eerie murder mystery Fog Island. with Lionel Atwill. All in all, it is superb entertainment from start to finish.

Every day will be Ruth Millett special day for some dread dis ease. And instead of curing the world of its ills, we'll probably just turn into a nation of hypochon- driacs waking up each morning to the problem of one disease or an- other.
 Can't you picture us slowly drag ging ourselves out of bed to face not a glorious Tuesday or a bright Wednesday - but National Head- ache Week or National Fallen Arches Day?
 Haven't we got enough National Days already without taking on any more? Don't we need all the plain Mondays, Tuesdays. Wednesdays. etc., we have left just for the work ing out of our own individual prob- lems?
 How are we ever going to solve these, If we are asked to take more and more days for the contempla- ton of problms that should be in the field of specialists, anyhow? After all we've got doctors. Let them worry about our diseases for us. If we're going to have any more National Days 1t looks as though what we harassed human beings need sorely now Is Q National Don't Worry About Nothin' Day.

 Keep Cleaning Fluid and Clothes Brush In Desk For Quick Clean-Up
BY ALICIA HART

Handiest aids for turning an of- fice-drudge outfit into a Cinderella for the night are a clothes brush and a shoe brush kept in your desk drawer.
 Use the clothes brush dry first to rid a dark dress of lint or flecks, then moisten the bristles. Slightly dampened and whisked over clothes, they can do lot to wipe out sitting wrinkles, bring up fabric nap and revive a bloom.
 For the ground-floor clean-up use a stiff-bristled brush. and to do a better job of freshening up fabric or suede slippers, have a can of cleaning fluid handy. Rubbed over uppers with an old stocking. slightly moistened, the cleaner can be depended upon to unspot fabric or suede shoes and dislodge grime that clings to bows or buckles.
