POLI'S

Starting today at the Loew-Polt Theater is the new romantic comedy. Those Endearing Young Charms, 1" starring Robert Young and Laraine Day. Whether or not all's fair in love can be justified, is the topic of this amusing comedy film.
 Young makes 1t perfectly clear that he believes in it, in his role of wealthy young lady-killer and air corps hero pilot who lays siege to the heart of lovely Miss Day irn- mediately he has been introduced to her by his old home town friend, a lowly air corps mechanic played by Bill Williams. From the moment young William takes Young with him on date with Miss Day, his dreams of love go a-glimmering, for the girl falls for Young hook, line and sinker, even though she knows he has left broken-hearted girls all over the place
 Piquant situations, sparkling dia- logue, and superb performances from the main characters, make this picture. a romantic comedy gem. Miss Ann Harding portrays the mother of Laraine Day. a beau- tiful and astute mother, who guides her lovely daughter through all the amusing romantic complications. Miss Harding remains one of the greatest natural beauties the screen has known. She has the same classic, serene loveliness, the same magni- ficent ash-blonde hair, worn the same Madonna fashion as in her stardom which preceded tempo rary retirement.
 Young Bill Williams, hitherto seen only in bit parts, owes his first feature length role to the verdict o1 popular demand and finds himself in fast company in his first featured role. He gives what the studio pro- claims as 8 fine account of himself Robert Young goes back to 6 sprightly role in this film after play ing a war-wrecked soldier in "The Enchanted Cottage" He enacts g wouId-be Casanova who dallianct kicks back at him with edifyine consequences. Before the camera he is the most convincing wolf tt come across outside of an AesoI Fable. After a couple of weeks or the picture Laraine Day knew jus how Little Red Riding Hood felt.
 The co-feature is one of tn, strar1gest and most fascinating stories yet brought to the screen the postwar drama entitled "Iden tity Unknown" The stars of thi drama are Richard Arlen and Charyl Walker.

Last winter a certain big studio decided to film a story requiring nigh, snow-covered mountains for background. T know just the spot in the High sierras." the director declared enthusiastically. 'I'n take run up there and bring back stills of the location" So he and his assistant. loaded with camera equipment and road maps, sallied forth.
 They found the highway leading into the pre-selected mountain area blocked with snow, but were in- formed that they could hire a snow blow to open the highway for about $100 They phoned the head of the studios location department to get authorization for the expenditure and ran into a firm refusal, for an economy wave had just been oldered. wen wait for the snow to melt" the location boss ruled.
 By the time the snow melted enough to allow travel, it had also disappeared from the higher levels and the location, otherwise per- feet, had now become unsuitable So the studio, obliged to deliver the picture at an early date, sent the compnay to British Columbia where the needed outdoor scenes cost approximately $25,000 more than they could have been made for in the nearby Sierra.
