STRAND OFFERS DOURLE TEA. TURF PROGRAM TO IT'S PAT.

! Warner Brothers Strand theater has booked an excellent dual feature program for to-day and tomorrow. Bob Steele, one of the stars of the former silent western thrillers, who has done much to revive public in- terest in the sagas of the west, ap- pears in brilliant talkie "The Sum- rise Trail.
 Here is a delightful romance of the golden west that abounds in ad- venture, romance, picturesque set- tings and frontier day bravado.
 There are love scenes for those who possess a yen for this type of talkie, gun play for those who like action in their pictures and an abundance of clever riding and horsemanship for those who thrill to the life of the out-of-doors man. All in all "The Sunrise Trail' proves a diverting and highly entertaining picture.
 The companion feature on the bill is screen adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's immortal poem "The Lady of the Lake,"
 While the story abounds in dra- matic incidents, interest centers upon the tender love story of the heroine, Ellen Douglas. and Malcolm Graeme, and upon the amazingly beautiful scenic backgrounds. These filmed in the Highlands of Scotland, are said to be the authentic scenes of the poem as indicated by the author. The exceptionally fine photography which characterizes the production lends an atmospheric charm to the whole.
 A capable cast is worthy of indi- vidual mention. Percy Marmont as King James V of Scotland, gave a rare performance, his fine figure and mobile countenance appearing to advantage in a role that ranged from the king incognito to the wear CT of the royal robes in Stirling Cas- tie. Benita Hume, as Ellen Douglas, who accompanies her fugitive father in his wanderings, was notably ap- pealing. Her dark beauty and sim pie rendering of conflicting emotions were quite in keeping with the char acter. Lawson Butt, appeared to ad. vantage as Roderick Dhu, outlawec lchieftain; Haddon Mason was man. fly young Malcolm Graeme, Ellen's lover, and Douglas Payne, in the role of Lord Douglas. made the most of strong role.

Ina Claire. Mary Brian and Henrietta Crosman in a Paramount picture, '"The Royal Family of Broadway. Double TO- nance, double comedy. double cross- ing and double trouble are inter- woven in this romance of the pri- vate lives of one of Broadway's most famous theatrical families. Two men loved to distraction, by two women
 Ina Claire and Mary Brian-two love affairs, salted and peppered with side-splitting splashes of riot ous laughter, involving the risky and risque business of Frederic March, breeziest of comedians and lovers, and his power and charm overfwo- men. "The Royal Family of Broad way" is a daring disclosure of Broad way privacy. It has to do with the lives and loves of a family of stage and screen stars, of the side of their characters which an audience never sees. "The Royal Family of Broad way" is unrolled on the big sheet of the Fox-Poli Palace starting at 1:42, 4:27, 7:00 and $40 p. m.

The story of Girls De- mand Excitement has to do with what happens in small college town when the boys play little po- litics to get rid of co-eds and how the co-eds play Q little politics too when it comes to lineup supporters with their platform, "No neckee- no voteee."
 Likewise proving that real col lege picture may be made without the aid of a football game and a touchdown in the last minute of play.

WINNIE LIGHTNER AND JOE
 BROWN ROCK STATE AUDI-


 If any doubts have existed as to whether Winnie Lightner and Joe E.. Brown are the funniest people in the talkies, 1t is dispelled by "Sit Tight" the Warner Bros and Vita phone production which opened at the Warner Bros State theater for a three day engagement yesterday.
 Winnie appears as hard-boiled Dr O'Neil, owner of a health institute where the patients, male and female. |are pounded, stretched, steamed. psycho-analyzed, and otherwise mal- treated, in an effort to become the Venuses and Adonises that nature evidently didn't intend them to be. pr O'Neil is also interested in the fight game, and hopes to discover and develop champion material in the course of her work.
 Joe ,E. Brown is her doubtful as- sistant who calls himself Jojo the Tiger, and brags without end of the pugs he has knocked out and the medals he has won. Jojo has a eye for feminine charms, and causes lady patients. Winnie is compelled to resort to her most hard-swatting tactics to keep him in proper sub- mission.
 Winnie sings, or rather croons with her own peculiar rougnneck swagger and real melodramatic punch. several songs-that everybody will be whistling. Others in the cast are Lotti Loder, Frank Hagney Snitz Edwards and hundreds of sup porting players. "Sit Tight is a play for the whole family. Rarely has such whole-hearted applause been forthcoming as that which yes terday greeted "Sit Tight"

EDNA TERRIERS IMMORTAL CLASSICE "CIMARRON" TO


 The most highly praised talking screen masterpiece of the new year which Vice President Curtis per- sonally endorsed in a message broadcast over a net work of sta- tions on the air, opens an extended engagement at Warner Brothers State theater on Saturday. It is Edna Ferber's immortal l"Cimarron."
 A mighty human story spread against the sweep of rampaging empire is Radio Pictures gift to the great things of the screen in "Cimar- ron."
 Towering above the current film crop as Yancey Cravat lowered above the stalwarts of the old south- west, the film holds every ounce of the power and majesty Edna Fer Der packed into her history-making novel. Around Richard Dix in the role of Yancey. is spread this drama of Oklahoma, her men, her women, | her heroes, and--well, those glamor- ous others we must have always with us.
 Here is the story of Yancey and Sabra Cravat, told with the same rugged honesty Edna Ferber lifted from the oil-drenched soil of Okla homa to strike life into her novel. Opening amid the clamor of '89'e historic land rush, the picture moves with unimpeded speed through the whole turbulence of Oklahoma's his- tory.

Bitter Attack On
 The Larkin Bill
tContinued from Page l,

court must concur on the appoint ment of the prosecutor At the pres. ent time only the judge makes the appointment and should the bill heard yesterday and a democrat be nominated by Governor Cross, At torney Larkin will be able to fal back on his second bill which would force the democratic judge and the present republican judge to concur It is not probable that they would concur and Attorney Larkin would hold over.
 Tt is strange" declared Senator David Goldstein of Bridgeport, a member of the Connecticut bar. ''that the republicans are now rais- ing the question of constitutionality on the method in which the judges of the common. pleas court are named"
 Attorney Larkin told the commit tee that the present system of hav- ing the governor nominate the judge of the common pleas court is uncon- stitutoinal. He read q supreme court ruling relating to the Hartford com mon council in which 1t was stated that the legislature has not the right to delegate its power of appointing judges in the lower courts to any  one body. The legislature had granted the Hartford common coun- ell the power of naming the judges of the Hartford city court.
 For about 20 years. while re- publican governors reiyned without interruption, no question of the con- stitutoinality of the method of pick ing the common pleas court judges was raised" stated Attoreny Gold stein. But now that a democrat governor has become chief executive the question Is raised. consider the bill direct slap at the executive de- partment of the state of Connecti- cut"
 Attorney Patrick Healey of this city appeared in opposition to the bill. He argued that the ruling of the supreme court as 1t concerned the Hartford common council and
