Now playing at the Loew-Poli Theater is the lavish new musical, George Whites Scandals" starring Joan Davis and Jack Haley, with Gene Krupa and his band furnish ing the music.
 On this same program is the thrilling mystery, Scotland Yard Investigator, starring Sir Aubrey Smith and Eric Won Stroheim.
 Starts Wednesday will be, Cor nered" Dick Powell's latest tri- umph. Following his success in Murder, My Sweet" his studio gives him an even more dramatic role in "Cornered,' as a Canadian flyer bent on averaging his murdered bride. From the beginning 1t is woven with tensely dramatic scenes that keep you breathless..
 Walter Slezak plays a master menace, a part he is aptly suited for. One situation leads from one exciting moment to another, and under Edward Dmytryk's adroit di- rection the plot tension rises to memorable heights. Powell gives a splendid performance.
 Also on same program one of the merriest combinations of music comedy. and romance, "Swingin' on Rainbow. Set against background of New York radio, the picture is an ideal cure for wartime blues It was designed to present the best Hollywood has to offer in musical entertainment and it more thar succeeds in Its purpose.
 The romance department is ham, dled by handsome Brad Taylor playing the role of 8 wealthy but striving young lyric-writer who be- friends lovely blonde Jane Frazet when she comes to New York tc confront Richard Davies, who ha' deliberately cheated her out of g set of Song-lyrics.
 For laughs, "Swingin' on a Rain bow offers the return to screen of one of Americas best-loveo comedians, Harry Langdon.
