'One Hour with Conrad Nagel, State Winning fails job on his own merits, Charles Wendling, Claudette Colbert's brother, was discovered recently at the Paramount studios working as an assistant director on Joe Morrison's new film, "One Hour Late," which comes today to the State theatre. Wendling was using his new name to spike a possible charge of favoritism, for he is trying to make his own way without using his noted sister's help. His identity was revealed, by Douglas Blackley, young New York stage actor, who makes his 'screen debut in "One Hour Late." Blackley once played with a New England stock company for which Wendling was the publicity agent. Several years ago Charles Wendling worked in the Paramount Long Island studios while his sister Claudette Colbert, was filming most of her pictures there.

His relation ship was known then, and he felt that It hindered him from making good on his own efforts. The change of name Is aot re cent. The "Wendling" was as sumed during the war when Charles was in the American army in France. The actual family name, Cauchoin, sounded very much like French for "Hot Dog" with the result that he bore the latter nickname for the duration of the war, changing It to Wendling when he was discharged from the army. "One Hour Late," which features Joe Morrison in his first leading role, also presents Helen Twelve trees, Conrad Nagel, Arllne Judge, Gall Patrick and Edward Craven in the supporting cast.

The program includes the lotn chapter "The Return of Chandu" and the Fox News. On the stage Friday night "Murry Livingston's "Barrel of Fun."

Seldom has there come to the screen a picture with such sparkling, wise cracking dialogue and with such novel and riotously funny situations.

Joan Blondell and Glenda Far rell head the cast of this rollicking comedy romance of two manicurists on a jamboree. Other important roles in "Kansas City Princess" are taken by Robert Armstrong, Gordon Westcott, Osgood Perkins, Ivan Lebedeff and Vince Barnett.
