Lew Ayres in "Many A .,,
 Sin, Heads Deluxe DOuDic
 Feature Bill Now At Strand

ouite the most delightful screen comedv to come to Waterbury Tn many a day is "Many a Slip the Universal picture which opened a' engagement to-day at the warner Bros Strand theater.
 With a story filled with spicy quality of humor and an unusually capable cast, the productioh soes along at a lifting pace whlch IS the goal of comedy makers, and the re- suit is laughing success wnlch IS altogether enjoyable.
 Lew Ayres, who has suddenly De- come one of the most popular or leading men, plays the prihciPa,i, male role in a manner which will undoubtedly increase his growing circle of admirers, and Joan Bennett brings her blonde beauty and her rare ability as a comedienne to the leading feminine part. The tnlrd member of the triumvirate of stars heading the cast is Slim Summer vile. who long ago qualified as one of the funniest men on the screen. Other important roles are played py Virginia Sale. Ben Alexander, Vivien oakland, Roscoe karns and J. C. Nugent.
 Many a Slip" tells the story of a girl who loves young Han my wisely but too well, and. wishing to marry him, allows him to believe that she is expecting an heir. This false assumption leads to many amusing incidents. which follow their immediate marriage, and the story is further complicated by a misunderstood visit paid to doc- tors office by their housemaid. The companion feature is "Wom- en Men Marry" story of modern day men, women and marriage that is extremely well enacted by n su- perb cast including Natalie Moor head, Sally Blanc and Kenneth Haf- Ian.

 The love team that released all your imprisoned emotions in Man slaughter" Claudette Colbert and Fredric March, are co-starring to- day and tomorrow at the New Gar den theater in Honor Among Low ers," Paramount talkie based on a story by Austin Parker, and di- rected by Dorothy Arzner.
 Miss Colbert, poised. personable and gowned to perfection, is cast as a very modern young beauty whose secretarial duties in the offices of d rich brother introduce her to many hazards, not nearly all of which are so much financial as personal. When March, you remember his fly of Broadway" proposes private aeroplane flights to big college foot ball games, and other bargains in trifing, including yacht trip round the world. Miss Colbert is the kind of girl who can say mo" ever so charmingly. and without ever flying into a rage.
 Still, shrewd little kitten that she is. she marries the wrong man, Mon- roe Owsley: and to save him from a prison sentence, she asks the "other man" for one hundred thous- and dollars. Strangely enough, this chap decides then and there that she Is worth even much more than that The climax you'll find quite tense surprising and satisfactory - and you'll long more and more for more Colbert.
 Is a girls past sin her own? Car lover or n husband demand tt know the past? Will it make hin happier if he is told the truth? What about the girls heartaches?

Marion Davies In Fannie
 Hurst's Five and Ten" Opens
 Enga cement at Warmers State

If you are one of those workaday individuals who dream of emanci- patton in wealth, you will be heart- ened by Five and Ten" Marion Davies new starring vehicle which opened to-day at the Warner Bros State theater.
 In this dramatic Fannie Hurst story is hidden a golden nugget or wisdom; moral both pathetic and refreshing; that money can't buy happiness.
 indeed, had it not been for the fortune piled up by John Rarick with his obe-encircling chain of Reinstatement stores, his daush- ter, Jennifer, would have been far happier and less bruised by bitter experiences; his wife, Jenny, would not have been lead by his preoccu- patton into indiscretion; his fine son Avery, would not have been shamed into ending his young life.
 Such is the striking theme of this splendid Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer pro- duction which offered Miss Davies the first dramatic role of her career: an opportunity she turned to her every advantage. Miss Davies proves herself a capable actress without benefit of her farcical comedy tall ents, playing her role with expert understanding. repression and adroit valuation of shadings.
 Robert z. Leonard, who has been joined in the making of so many of Miss Davies films, again was al the directors end of the production and has given the screen one of the finest modern pictures we have seen in many months. The film abound: with bouyoncy and lavishness but never attempts to circumvent tho stark tragedy of it's motivation. Il you are moved to tears, it is trib- ute to the magnificent appreciation exhibited by the director in han ding the human interest narrative and by the sincerity of the perform. ances of the imposing cast.
