BOY BTJRKET It was a big day for the youngsters of the neighborhood when Jean Harlow, blond star of the films, visited her old home in Kansas City, Kas. She Is pictured with a group of young admirers on the steps of the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S. D.

Harlow. (Associated Press Photo) At The State With Ann Harding and Robert Montgomery as co-stars and the supporting cast boasting such names as Myrna Ley, Alice Brady and Frank Morgan, "When Ladles Meet" bids fair to be -one of the best acted pictures of the year. Indeed, the new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer'film, which opens today at the State theatre, is easily among the smartest and most entertaining features the screen has enjoyed in many months, falling into the delightful category of high com edy and sophistication and yet retaining; the humor and simplicity of less pretentious entertainment The picture is a plctorlally 'per fect adaptation of the Rachel Crothers stage success. Miss Harding, as the understand ing, modern wife of a philander- Ingfhusband, gives a portrayal rem iniscent of her "Holiday." Montgomery is his usual adequate self as the young newspaperman who handles his romantic troubles as he would a front page story. Myrna Loy is grand in her part of the girl novelist who tries to live the life of her own "heroine.

It's a far cry back to the exotic types she used to do and this new "A portrayal advances her miles aheadr of her own achievements. Alice Brady' makes her return to the screen as Bridget, the flighty week-end hostess of the tangled gathering. Miss Brady runs away with honors in the scenes she Is in and sets a pace that fairly leaves herself, and the other players, breathless with its' fast tempo. y-' Frank Morgan plays the part of Miss Harding's husband and gives another matchless performance. The picture was directed by Harry Beaumont.

Particularly interesting is his camera treatment which accentuates the Value of the exceptional settings. Beaumont has obtained the utmost in performances and justified the employment of such stellar names and personages in the cast.

In Capitol Film Sensitive, appealing "Jennie Ger-hardt" absorbing character created by Theodore Dreiser, America's foremost novelist, comes to life today on the screen of the Capitol theatre, where Paramount's picture of that title is presented. Syl- via Sidney, the girl of the wistful eyes, earns her first star billing in the title role of this B. P. Schulberg production. In this picture, she earns her right to be a.

star. Her characterization of Jennie contains essence of Dreiser's conception of this tremendous role. Tenderly, sympathetically, she traces the life of the most talked of woman in American fiction. Jennie Gerhardt epitomizes all womanhood; that was unquestionably Theodore Dreiser's conception of the 1 character. Miss Sidney's impersonation has a like interpre-1 tatlon as its motivauBn.

A beautiful, sensitive girl, reared in the most abject poverty, is forced by the misery of her family to accept the advances of. those who can help financially. Time after time, despite her own inclinations, the irresistible forces of life itself break down her morale, drove her on through desperation to an inescapable end. Though the character is necessarily a pathetic one, it is at no time tragic, for Jennie Gerhardt reaches the heights of happiness through her devotion and her sacrifice. Donald Cook, rapidly coming to the forefront as one of Hollywood's favorite leading men, takes the part of Lester Kane, the man whom Jennie Gerhardt learns to love and, for his own good, is forced to leave.

B. Warner is cast as Jennie Gerhardt's father, while Louise Carter is cast as the mother. A new player comes to the in the delightfully fresh Gilda Storm, in the role of Jen nie Gerhardt's daughter. Olympic Stars Nixon, Rogers "Best of Enemies," Fox Film's new romantic comedy, comes to the Olympic Theatre today for an engagement of six days. Buddy Rogers and Marian Nixon have the featured roles.

In theme and treatment, it is a film that has as timely a significance as any recently seen. Against a background that depicts the changes of time, the story details a romance between two youngsters whose personal lives are inextricably bound up with passing events. Their bringing up, their daily lives, belonging, as they do, to a familiar class of Americans, gives rise to a number of barriers that must be overcome. Buddy Rogers, absent from the screen for many months, hereby makes his return. With the training achieved in a year of personal appearances throughout the country, Rogers Is said to have garnered enough experience to present himself as a new type of screen Marian Nixon, in the leading feminine' role, climaxes a year of important screen parts with this film.

The cast in support is headed by the veterans, Frank Morgan and Joseph Caw'thorn, and includes Greta Nissen, Arno Frey, William Lawrence and Andres Van Haden among others. Ford 10,000 Mile Economy Test Starts Early Today Traveling on a strict 800-miles-a-day schedule, the New Ford V8 Economy test starts today in a run which will continue for the next 12 days until the full journey is completed. The test car will leave Pittsburg with fitting fanfare and recognition from local officials this morning at 8:30 and will arrive in Altoona at the Gettman Auto Company every day and night at 11:39. The purpose of the test is to prove to motorists in Western Pennsylvania that driving can be done economically even in the most mountainous country. Three drivers are being used, in eight-hour shifts.

The itinerary, traveled twice every 24 hours, includes Pittsburg, McKeesport, Irwin, Greensburg. New Alexandria, Blairsville, Johnstown, Ebensburg, Hollidaysburg, Altoona, Tyrone, Philipsburg, Clearfield, DuBois, Punxsutawney, Indiana, Kittann-lng, Butler, New Castle and West View. F.xoent for 60-second stops for refueling, the test will made continuously. Stops will be made at Ford dealers.

Motorists who drive this distance "in a year's time can testify to this fact.

Therefore, instead of making the test on a race track, actual driving conditions 'are being followed. To make the results even more effective, the mountainous of Pittsbure and environs was chosen and the hot days of June and July calendared.
