This miniature musical comedy revue, where nothing serious is ever presented, is a delight to humorists and a sure cure for depression It is probable that there were never two greater "hokum" experts. They present a miracle of merriment in funny songs, dances and ingenious sketches, enjoyable to all. "Sailor's Luck," with James Dunn and Sally Eilers, is the screen attraction for the remainder of the week. Loew's Bay Ridge Loew's Bay Ridge Theater patrons will be able to see two such splendid films as "State Fair" and "Laughter in Hell" today and tomorrow.

Romance and comedy are evenly balanced In Fox's "State Fair," and stars supreme in each of the two fields comprise the cast. Janet Gaynor, Lew Ayres, Sally Eilers and Norman Foster carry the romance, and Frank Craven, Louise Dresser, Victor Jory and Will Rogers form the comedy lineup. Two love affairs feature the picture. Miss Gaynor and Lew Ayres are the principals of one. Sally Eilers and Norman Foster are the sweethearts of the other.

The comedy centers chiefly around the characterization of Will Rogers as a farmer who enters his prize hog, Blue Boy, for the grand championship at the State fair. "Laughter in Hell," the companion feature to "State Fair," is a picture that sounds the very depths of humanity. It is powerful, gripping, elemental the kind of picture that reaches out and grips you with its vivid drama. Pat O'Brien, Merna Kennedy, Gloria Stuart, Berton Churchill and Tom Brown are all superbly cast In this great human story of mining riots and chain gangs. Fox Brooklyn Komedy Karnival week at Fox's continues today and tomorrow.

Jack Oakie clowns all the way through "Sailor Be Good," the chief screen attraction. Vivienne Osborne and George E. Stone are in the supporting cast. Charlie Chaplin is also on the screen in "The Floorwalker." Morton Downey appears in "The Holdup," a short which develops some highly amus ing complications. On the stage, Wesley Eddy continues as master of ceremonies, leads the Fox orchestra and impersonates better-known radio stars.

"Child of Manhattan" is the sensational story serialized by one of the New York dailies and which attracted considerable attention and as a picture is even more thrilling and exciting. Stanley Theater What Dickie Moore doesn't like about the movies is that it means he has to be washed behind the ears. Dickie, golden-haired 6-year-old screen star, Is featured with Edmund Lowe, Wynne Gibson, James Gleason, Lois Wilson and Allan Dinehart in "The Devil Is Driving," at the Stanley Theater today and tomorrow. Dickie likes movie work in general. The only trouble, says Dickie, is that his nurse insists on washing his face before every sequence washing and then making up.

Dickie doesn't mind being washed before meals. That, he says, is just one of those things a feller has to take. But before every sequence well, he thinks, that's carrying a good thing too far. Also on today's screen program is "Bachelor's Polly," with Herbert Marshall and Edna Best; a comedy, Ladies Not Allowed," and news events. Tomorrow only the Stanley Theater offers "Faithless," with Tallulah Bankhead and Robert Montgomery, and "Radio Patrol," with Robert Armstrong.

Brooklyn Paramount The second of the Brooklyn Para mount Theater Spring Jubilee stage shows continues today and tomorrow, featuring Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie. In addition, the stage show features Fritzl Scheff, who made her first appearance In more than three years last week at the New York Paramount. For many years the theatergoers thrilled to her performances in Victor Herbert's operatic gems. She starred in Herbert's "Mile. Modiste," wherein she first popularized the song "Kiss Me Again." Carole Lombard is starred in the screen attraction, "From Hell to Heaven," a story of the race track, in which she is supported by Jack Oakie, David Manners, Adrienne Ames and Sidney Blackmer.

By CHEERIO HELEN CLARK. g319 3d Ave. Dear Aunt Jill The kind of pic On Local By LARRY MASON Today and tomorrow Loew's Alpine Theater offers a double feature bill, consisting of "The King's Vacation" and "Racetrack." "The King's Vacation" is an intensely humorous and modern comedy, with spectacular scenes, some thrills and a pleasing romance, in which George Arliss, the King, decides to take a vacation from his irksome duties. The comedy is entirely modern, with a series of surprising incidents. One of the finest casts ever appearing in an Arliss picture, the supporting cast includes Dick Powell, Patricia Ellis, Dudley Digges, O.

P. Heggle, Marjorie Gateson, Florence Arliss and Vrnon Steele. Thrilling race-track scenes are the features of the new Leo Gar-rillo picture, "Racetrack. The picture is a story of the race track, Carrillo appearing as a bookmaker, with Junior Coghlan as an adopted waif, who grows up to be a jockey. Kay Hammond, famous stage star, appears opposite Carrillo in the feminine lead.

Electra Theatre "It could have happened anywhere except in pre-war Prussia," is an opinion commonly expressed by people who have seen "Maed- chen in Uniform," the exceptional German picture which continues at the Electra Theater today and tomorrow. A well known New York educator, however, brings to attention the tart that the school nictured in the photoplay more nearly represents the "continental attitude toward education, and that such a school may still be found in many foreign countries. The girls' boardign-school at Potsdam in which the child Manuela of the film story, so sensitively played by the exquisite Hertha Thiele, was enrolled, seemed to regard cold and iron discipline as the important factor of education. The nursery school which formed one department of thes chool was visited Just at luncheon time. Bowls of soup were placed in front of youngsters 3 and 4 years old, and the visitor was amazed to find the tiny children so strictly disciplined that they remained sitting motion-les in front of their food for some time after it had been distributed 'ii Put imi i i rm Laundry LIMITED BUDGETS send it to the Five and Ten N.
