"Dracula". the Vampire Thriller Scheduled to Open Engagement
 at Warmers State Tomorrow

Fastnacht = the night of evil; swirling fog, and wolves bowling in the mountain passes; a solitary traveller waiting at the crossrQads; the chatter of approaching hoofs. and a coachman with feverish eyes glowing above his great muffler.
 The traveller enters the coach' which continues on its headlong flight; but as soon as it is again under way, the driver disappears, and his place is taken by giant bat which flaps over the heads of the galloping horses. Silence settles over the misty landscape. The mys- terious coach is swallowed up by the dense fog, and makes it's way to the crumbling castle of the terrible Count Dracula, vampire!
 This is one of the opening scenes of "Dracula,' Universal's strange motion picture drama which was adapted from the stage success of the same name, and which comes to the Warner Brothers State theater tomorrow.
 The cast is headed by Bella Lugosi, who created the title role or ..Dracula" on the stage, and other players appearing in prominent roles are Helen Chandler. David Manners, Edward Van Sloan, Fran .ces Dade, Dwight Frye and Herbert Funston. Tod Browning directed.

Vaudeville and Screen Show
 at Warner Brothers Strand
 Closing Engagement Tonight

Performances this afternoon and evening mark the final showings of the deluxe stage and screen show that as been drawing crowds to this popular theater during the past three days.
 Five great acts including, "The Harmonettes," eleven talented misses who have a stage band that clicks with their audiences, present a tune full and eyeful musical revuette. Monroe and Grant have a comedy spring table act entitled, Whoa! Charlie, Leopold and Terry pre- sent, Just Few Pleasant Mo ments," Eddie Cole and George Sny- der present a comedy skit, "The Di- rector, which includes several nov cities and Rome and Gaut, Water bury's favorites, appear in their well known act, When Extremes Meet" Vaudeville at 3:15. 6:15 and 9:1O. The feature picture is Beau IdeaP.
 With Ralph Forbes in his or- iginal role of John Geste, with Her. bert Brenon's masterful hand again In evidence, this time in the skillful direction of talking scenes, and with a cast including the lovely Loretta Young, Irene Rich, Lester Vail, Don Alvarado and Leni Stengel, Beau IdeaP nobly carries on the tradition of hot-sand-and-th thunder drama. It is beautifully mounted and handsomely performed film.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-03-10

We have two additions to our catching staff. Rick Terrell, of course, figures as our regular receiv- CT, but he'll not want for assistance while Russ Young and Jack Crouch are around. Young comes to us from the Milwaukee Brewers, where he has been a good catcher for several years. Crouch is the fourth lad we picked up on that scouting trip to Wichita Falls.
 ONE MORE COMING
 We may not be overloaded with pitchers, fear, but something might turn up that will mean an- other moundsman for us before the season gets underway. I'm counting on Blaeholder, Stewart, Gray and Coffman to form the backbone of the staff, while Kimsey and Stiles with 6 years experience may have improved sufficiently to become starting pitchers. Stewart is one of the best left-handers in the game and never really has been given credit for his skill
 Larry Bettencourt, the All American center from St Mary's in 1927, comes back this year as an outfielder. We tried him on third in 1928 but since then he has been showing to better advantage in the outfield. Bettencourt and some of the other newcomers probably will fight it out with Gullic and Badgro for one outfield spot, but Goslin and Schulte should not have any diffi- cuity retaining their positions as regulars

Perhaps the first thing I'll have to do this season is to make the ac- quaintance of a lot of new players. After that, there will be lot of ex- perimenting. What we accomplish during the season naturally will de- pend on the results we get in the spring training period.
 I'm positive brought up four fine young ball players from the Wichita Falls club of the Texas League. I had the pleasure of scouting them for week last summer with Vice President McEvoy of our club. They really are fine prospects.
 JUST YOUNGSTERS
 We wound up the season last year with these three kid infielders in the game. They were Trying Burns on first, Lin Storti on second and Jim- my. Levey at short. Incidentally, there's an infield combination for you-Burns is a Boston Irishman, Stortl is California Italian and Levey is a Jewish kid from Pitts burg.
 Those lads fairly burned mp Texas with their fielding last year and if they don't help us lot I'm going to be badly mistaken. Burns and Storti hit well over 300 while Levey batted .289. But here's the thing that impressed me-Burrs worked in 160 double plays, Storti in 142, acting as pivot in 83 of them, and Levey got in on 102 dou- ble plays. Burns and Levey also fig- ured in one triple play.

ANN HARDING SUPREME AS EMOTIONAL ARTIST PLAYING IN EAST LYNNE
 AIT VCnX p0TI PALACE

Ann Harding, the most outstand- ing player of emotional roles and one of the sensational "fnds' Of talking pictures, reversed the usual formula for picture success, for it was through her interest in motion pictures that she got her chance on the stage. Eventually her stage career led her to pictures and to the opportunity to play the star Frank Lloyd's Fox Movietone pro- duction now playing at the Fox Poli Palace theater.
 Miss Harding's father is high army officer and she herself was born at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. She was educated at Bryn Mawr. Her first job was with life insur- ance company. However, her tastes were literary and eventually she called on Harry Durant, head of the New York story department of a and synopsized many books under consideration, at night at her board ing house.
 She met people affiliated with the Provincetown Players in whose work she became interested.
 Her delicate feature, wistful ap- peal and excellent diction immedi- ately won her the leading part Tn a Forthcoming play, and she re- mained until the season closed.
 Then she accepted the first offer which came her way, to play a role in Like King" Five other offers came to her after the contract was signed, and as events turned out any one of them would have been better than the one she accepted, since the play died during the out-of-town try-out.

 After two years in stock she scored an instantaneous Broadway triumph in "Tarnish." ssStolen Fruit" and "The Woman Disputed" were her next vehicles. Then came her greatest stage success, starring in "The Trial of Mary Dugan"
