STRAND TO PRESENT FIRST DOUBLE FEATURE PICTURE BILL OF NEW SEA
 SON STARTING TOMORROW

starting tomorrow Warner Brothers Strand theater will present the first double feature picture program of the new sea- son and 1t is a knockout.
 Headlining the program is Doug las Fairbanks. Jr., in his latest comedy "I Like Your Nerve" the picture which recently played to capacity business at the Capitol theater on Broadway.
 The personable screen favorite appears as a happy-go-lucky Ann posedly on business-but in reality on love and adventure bent.
 Lovely Loretta Young, is the senorita who captivates the ire sponsible youth-causes him to quell revolution-capsiz the citizenry of more than one tropi- cal village as he whirls through in his high-powered car-steal a dishonest minister of finance-high- jack a gang of kidnappers-and finally beat them at their own game-by himself capturing the damsel in distress and speeding gaily off with her.
 T Like Your Nerve" is rollick- ing, n-romance-and the role Doug plays is a combination of Robin Hood and D'Artagnan. It's a play for all the family.
 Those in the cast are Claude Allister. Andre Cheron, Henry Kol- ker, Edmund Breon, Boris Kar- loqff and Luis Alberni.
 The companion feature is one of the most talked about pictures, of it's kind, that has been pro- duced this season. It Is titled Mothers Millions" and is based on the life story of Hetty Green. The story is as human as your next door neighbor and the leading character is admira ply portrayed by that brilliant stage star May Robson. Others in the cast in- clude James Hall, Frances Dale (Last seen in An American Ira gedy") Lawrence Gray and Ed mund Breese. An excellent sur program is being booked to accompany these two spendid feature pictures.

II TAKE THIS WOMAN" AND "MEN OF THE SKY"
 AT THE NEW GARDEN

Last times today at the New Garden Theater T Take This Woman" with Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard. The man - rugged, self-reliant, wanderer who doesn't know where his next meal is coming from and doesn't care. The girl - exquisite, beautl- full, nurtured on luxury, feeding on flattery, taking money and adu- lation for granted. Caught up in a sudden whirlwind of romance. Swept into marriage which neither of them wants. Powerless to es- cape the fierce force of unreaSon- ing love.
 The companion feature is "Men of the Sky" the First National mystery romance which dramatic all pictures the plight of two young lovers who are spies - when con- fronted by the vaster claims of pa triotism, during the early years of the World war.
 The short pictures are Crashing Reno" and Universal News with Graham McNamee announcing. Coming tomorrow for two days is Barbara Stanwyck in "The Miracle Woman" with David Manners, Sam Hardy and Beryl Mercer.
 Vivid, vital drama of girls sham and shame - and her re- dernption through mans love!
 The companion feature is the prize picture of 1881, "The Bar gain" with Lewis Stone and Doris Kenyon. You've seen a thousand pictures in which a woman's love made man. Here's the story of a great love that nearly ruined one,

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
Edward G. Robinson in
 ssF1ve Star FinaIn Held
 nvar nf Warmer, Rrng


 In response to innumerable re- quests the management of Warner Brothers State theater announces that arrangements have been made to hold this record breaking pie ture over for the remainder of the week.
 The theme of Five Star Finap is the havoc wrought in the lives of innocent people by the circula- tion- boosting and utterly heartless methods of certain types of mod ern yellow journalism. The owner of the paper while constantly urg- ing more sensational stories for the paper is as constantly prating nor tality. Edward G. Robinson plays the part of the managing editor, q man who inwardly despises, but outwardly approves, the policy till the great moment when-but that is the story.
 The evi eye of the staff fastens to the unobstrusive Townsends and their pretty daughter, Jenny, who is about to marry a well-to-do youth. Twenty years before when Michael Townsend married Nancy Vorhees, he was fully aware of the fact that she had killed a man in self defense. Outof the grave of the years the ruthless crew of the Gazette drags the skeleton-Jen- ny's lover is temporarily separated from her by his horg4fied parents her own parents commit suicide the hideous guggernaut of per secution drives ruthlessly on.
 An exceptionally fine surround ing program accompanies this sen- sational feature presentation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-29

Pike's Peak, widely known peak of Colorado, is 14,1OS feet high. That is less than half as high as Mt Everest, which rises 29,002 feet above sea level - in other words, to height of more than five and one-half miles!
 Daring efforts have been made to reach the top of Mt Everest. In 1913 John Noel, with few natives as comrades, tried the climb. They did not get close to the summit, but they went high enough to camp overnight on a glacier.
 "The stars in the thin air. Noel reported, seem larger and bright CT. The slowly moving ice of the glavier gives out strange noises. Now and then a deafening crash tells of rock falling. The wind causes shrill whistles as it strikes edges of the ice. and deep moans come from ice caves"
 In 1922, three Englishmen climbed the slopes of Mt Everest, reaching a height of 26,SO0 feet. They failed to climb higher because the air was too thin to breathe.
 Later climbers were able to reach greater heights by using oxygen tanks strapped to their backs. Small rubber tubes carried oxygen from the tanks to their nostrils.
 Eleven white men and 100 na- tives "porters' treid to climb Mt Everest in 1924. After days of weary toll, they came within what they believed was striking dis tance" of the top. George Mallory, leader of the party. and Andrew Irvine. a college student, left the others behind and climbed to a point less than 500 feet from the summit. A mist settled over them, and they vanished from view. Hours passed, and they did not ap- pear again. Two of their comrades started out to search for them. but returned without news. Mallory and Irvine may have slipped into d deep crevice when the mist closed over them.

THE FOUR MARX BROTHERS IN s'NfONKEY BUSTNESS''
 AT FOX POLL PALACE

~~% 0~~
 The Four Marx Brothers do not miss . trick when it comes to pro- viding comedy on the screen. In fact. Director Norman Mcleod, who bossed their most recent and most frolicsome opus, Monkey Business now playing at the Fox Poli Palace sees in their efforts on the screen every known comedy method, ranging from slapstick to subtle satire.
 Mcleod can be called the per- feet analyst of comedy methods. He began by drawing the comical line cartoons for Christie comedies several years ago. Then he became a title writer and subsequently, q gag man, scenarist, and director.
 Through the careful choice of characterization for themselves, the Marx Brothers have combined all modes of comedy within their own entertainment" says Mcleod.
 'Groucho uses smart wise cracks, Chico attends to the dialect comedy, Harpo handles pantomime and Zeppo plays straight to the three with situations as his forte. There you have the main methods of securing laughs.
 Groucho, with his heavy nous tache and his long cigar is the wise fellow. His dialogue is care fully combed so that practically every speech is a laugh line.
 "Chico plays the dumb fellow who doesn't understand and gets things mixed.
 "Harpo is one of the worlds greatest pantomimists, the earliest and longest-lived form of comedy. His art is purely slap-stick.
 Charles Chase comedy, Talkar- toon, and Fox Movietone news completes the program.

DE LUXE VAUDEVILLE AND
 SCREEN SHOW AT WARNER BROS STRAND CLOSE O-NITE

Performances this afertnoon and evening mark the final presents tions of the de luxe stage and screen show that has been draw ing capacity crowds to Warner Brothers Strand theater the past three days. Don't miss seeing this show because it's one of the best vaudeville shows that have been of vaudeville.
 Headlining the stage show is Baby Rose Marie, six-year-old NEG radio and Vitaphone star. This little star is an accomplished artist and it is because of the thou sands of letters that have been sent in that the NEG artists bu- reau has arranged this nation wide tour, so her admirers may see her in person.
 Bert Wilson, international mon- ologist and master of ceremonies, is also on the program. His rapid fire chatter, laugh packed, is al- ways a bright spot on any bill.
 The Lovejoy Dancers. marvels of terpischore, have an interesting and lavishly staged revue. New steps, novelties and surprises in cluded in this act rank it as one of foremost in vaudeville to-day.
 Charles McNally and company have a riotous comedy act in "We Aim to Please" while the Cartons offer a vaudeville novelty that is new, novel and pleasing.
 The feature picture is Side Show" with Winnie Lightner, Charles Butterworth and Evalyn may be surmissed by the title Knapp in the featured roles. As "Side Show" is a tale of the cir GUS, however this one is the comic side of life under the big top with more laughs than certain manu- facturer has liver pills. It adds zest to the brilliant stage show and rounds out a program that would prove mighty hard to beat.

ABBOTT CALLED
A|N|CK KILLER

Cool and collected, Mrs. Verne
Edwards faced Peter Abbott in
Philadelphia today and positively
identified him as the man who
fired the shot that killed Grover
Amick at the Old Colonial Tea
House last November %.
Abbott appeared nervous, but
asked:
Lady, do you know what
you are doing to me?"
Mrs. Edwards replied:
Eyes, I am identifying you
as the first man who walked
into the seahOuse and fired
the shot that killed Grover
Amick."
Abbott squirmed, but blurted
out:
I'm innocent, and the Of
ficers know ami"
Still unruffled, Mrs. Edwards
answered.:
"You are Peter Abbott, the
first man who entered the tea
house, and you are the man
who killed Grover Amick.
Magistrate Daniel Oswald or
dered the man held for Maryland
authorities without bail.

CRACK
8 SAFES HERE

Yeggmen cracked three Wash
ington safes early today and
escaped with large sums of
money.
The office of the Fadeley Com
pany, wholesale coal merchants at
100 M st. N. E., was entered and
the safe blown open by nitro
glycerine. Robbers took between
$500 and $4OO from the shattered
safe, but overlooked more than
$500. lying under some papers in
the bottom of the strong box.
Vault Blasted
The vault in the office Of the
Washington Paper Company, 90
L st. N. E., was blown open with
nitroglycerine and a large guam
tity of money was stolen.
The robbery was discovered by
I. Greenbaum, president of the
firm.
Mr.. Greenbaum reported that
$3.50 in cash and $1,000 worth of
jewelry was taken.

RA|NEY ASSA|LS
HOOVER TAX

The Hoover-Mellon tax pro.
gram-to materially increase in
come taxes in all brackets as we'll
as impose numerous s"nuisance"
taxes-met instant opposition in
Congress today.
No sooner had the AdminiStra-
tion's program been laid before
the two Houses than Represen-
tative Henry T. Rainey. new
Democratic leader of the House,
declared the Democrats would
formulate their own program.
The Democratic plan, Rainey
said, would be evolved by the
joint policy committee, composed
of Democrats in both Senate and
House.
Rainey predicted the Demo
Gratis would base their tax in
crease plan upon big incomes,
probably increasing surtaxes be-
yond the 40 per cent figure of
the 1924 taxes suggested in the
Hoover Mellon program.
Rainey also aSSailed the Presi-
dents message of yesterday, de-
claring he found nothing in it in
which "even expressed a desire
on his part that. Congress adopt
legislation which will remove the
causes for the present world
wide depression"
