Monday onlyTon and Me."
Sylvia ; Sidney - aftd Clettrge Raft,
who thrilled movie-goers when they
appeared together last in "Pick Up,"
return - as co-stars of Paramount's
"You and Me."
The fact that parole laws of many
states forbid marriages for paroled
persons motivates the new Sylvia
Sidney and George Raft picture "You
and Me," which opens Monday at the
State Theatre.
The two stars, last seen together
in "Pick Up", play the roles of young
ex-convicts, working for a philan
thropic department store owner whose
hobby is to .give men and women a
chance to go straight. Raft, who has
served his parole, marries Miss Sid
ney after making a complete confes
sion to her about his shady past. Miss
Sidney, still on parole, conceals her
past from him because she knows that
by probation regulations, she may
not marry. And also, she is aware
of the fact that Raft is desperately
trying to steer clear of anything that
will remind him of his gangster days.
When Raft learns of her past he
becomes embittered, gives up his
struggle to go straight, returns to
the "mob," and is saved from another
criminal career only by the daring ac
tion of Miss Sidney, who risks anoth
er stretch in the "Big House" to save
him.
Two favorites of earlier film days,
Jack Mulhall and Julia Faye, are cast
in small supporting roles in the new
picture, which also includes in its
cast Warren Hymer, Roscoe Karns,
Harry Carey and George E. Stone.
Fritz Lang, who directed Miss Sidney
in "Fury," directed and produced the
new picture.

Friday; v,only f "Men ,
; Are, Such
Foote'T a :qp- i"1
When Priscilla Lane and Wayne
Morris were cast in their latest War
ner Bros, picture, "Men Are Such
Fools," which opens next Friday at
the State Theatre, they began to
wonder whether the studio officials
were putting them through an inten
sive course of matrimonial prepara
tion or even subtly attempting to dis
courage them from matrimony by
showing them the pitfalls in the paths
of newly married couples.'
When Priscilla was placed under
contract by Warners some months
ago and featured in "Varsity Show,"
she and Wayne met and were more
than ordinarily attracted to each
other.
The next they know the studio had
cast them as the ingenue leads in
"Love, Honor and Behave," a story
in which young love travels a rocky
road. During the couny of the pro
duction the two experienced, for cine
matic purposes only, the period of re
adjustment that every young married
couple must go through.
Nothing daunted by their screen
quarrels-the two announced their en
gagement when the picture was fin
ished. Whereupon the studio retaliated by
putting them together in "Men Are
Such Fools," which deals primarily
With the theme of whether careers
should be allowed to influence matri
mony. But it's all OK with Priscilla.
"I don't mind as long as they
don't make us act in a picture where
we divorce each other," she said.
"That would be going a little too far,
even though, maybe neither Wayne
nor I are the slightest bit supersti
tious about such things." .

George Durant whose family Has been
outstanding in the county through
275 years, has in his possession fam
ily records to show that his line of
descent came through John Harvey,
and can prove his descent from an
"Indian Chief." thoueh there is no
Indian blood in his family, the title
having been bestowed by the Indians
in the Seventeenth Century through
their great love for George Durant,
whose purchase of land from Kilco
canen is the oldest record of a pur
chase of land from an Indian by a
white man in America.
