Bennett and
 Dix-Lyric
Popular Stars on Program
 Opening Tomorrow

St p h any Dale, heroine of Bought" the Warner Bros, mod ern drama starring Constance Ben nett. coming to the Lyric theater Sunday has but one desire, and that she elevate herself to high" society.
 Her mad career leads her from mannequin to social secretary and finally to engagement with a rath- CT unstable member of the fast set. It is her father, whose iden- tity she does not know, who finally helps to bring her back to a right sense of values-and incidentally to the youth whom she had cast aside because of his poverty.
 Bought Is an intensely human story, and the work of Constance Bennett explains why she is the highest-paid star on the screen. Miss Bennett's famous father, Richard Bennett, for the first time supports her. The picture is based on the novel "Jackdaws Strut" by Harriet Henry. Adaptation and dialogue are by Raymond Griffith and Charles Kenyon. The remark able photography is by Ray June.
 The cast includes Ben Lyon, Dorothy Peterson, Raymond, Mill land, Arthur Stuart Hull, Edward Nugent, Mae Madison, Maude E. burne, Clara Blandick and Doris Lloyd. Archie Mayo directed, and Richard Dix in "The Public De- fender" on the same bill.

Four HOrSemen
 at the State
Starred With Lew Ayres in "The Spirit of Notre
 Dame"

Again the State scores a scoop in bringing to Waterbury one of the outstanding talking screen pro- auctions of the current season. This time 1t Is "The Spirit of Notre Dame," starring Lew Ayres with Sally Blanc, William Bakewell, G. Farrell Mcdonald, the famous Four Horsemen and fourteen other Notre Dame gridiron stars.
 Back in 1880, Christy Walsh, who handles the affairs of many of the countrys most prominent athletes and the personalities of sports, obtained Knute Rocknes consent to make a picture in which he was to play an actual role on the screen. The contract was to be signed on a certain day in Univer- sal City. In order to keep that en- gagement Knute Rockne took off on an airplane trip which proved fatal.
 Naturally, the plans for the pie ture were all awry, but out of the pieces Christy Walsh, Carl Laemmle and the president and faculty of Notre Dame created something which is even more sig UlllCdHI tIfdu tu6 plCluIc III WlllCu Rockne was to star. A picture in which those who admired Rockne most could create a fitting memo rial to the old master, the wizard of the gridiron, the human ath- letic director, the peerless leader of men and the ideal of the foot ball world. This is "The Spirit of Notre Dame," one of the most sen- sational pictures of the year.
 Father O'Donnell and the Notre Dame authorities supervised the entire filming of this splendid me- morial to Rockne. In it are Frank Carideo, twice All-American quar- terback, Miller, Layden, Crowley, Stuhldreher, Adam Walsh, Bucky O'Connor, hero of last years South ern California game, Captain John Law, Moon Mullins, Art McMan- on, Al Howard and other stars.
 This is a picture that will appeal to every man. woman and child in Waterbury whether or not they happen to be a football fan. Great good fortune, devotion to their leader and inspiration of learned institution lowered over "The Spirit of Notre Dame" during its filming. It is also unique in the annals of the motion picture. It has no vil- lain, no one is bribed to throw" game, no one is kidnapped so that he can't make a spectacular

 The hope of it is the excitement, and the experience of it the high est reward of playgoing. Strangely enough, we become conscious of it--or conscious of it's approach as though there were 8 sound of wings in the air--before the play begins. The curtain is still down, the house lights are still up, but we are in a theater and, if exper- fence has not embittered us. we are dreaming that this evening or another evening the beat Of wings will grow louder in our silences, the supreme illusion will tsoop down and gather us, the hosts will speak. Again and again we are disappointed. The curtain rises and the ply is found to be an ugly bag of tricks; instead of the authentic currency of experience we arc given a trickle of counterfeit coin rubbed for generation between the fingers of plagiarists. But now ana then a persistent playgoer's hope, or part of 1t, is fulfilled. The order of his experience is always. the same-a shock. and after the shock an inward stiffness. and from that stiffness an influence emerging which transmutes him

ticle. He's still the same jovial Jack who thinks serious thoughts but seldom speaks a serious word. With him around, life is just one laugh after another. He can't help clowning. It's in his nature and no matter what executives do to him, they won't be able to whip that spirit.
 "This is no time to be complain ing about naything," Jack told me. I'm working and I'm making good money-even if I don't get enough of it. So why should care if I'm a star or not? Maybe I'll be a star again one of these days. I was good enough to get there once so why not again? But if I don't make it, I'll still keep right on working hard as long as the money comes in. When I was starring I got blamed for every poor film I made. Now if a picture doesn't turn out we'll, somebody else gets blamed"

Eddie Cantor |. Palace Hit
Appears With Charlotte | Greenwood in ''Palmy ! Days"

Eddie Cantor in "Palmy Days" which Samuel Goldwyn is present. ing at the Fox-Poli Palace theater on Sunday, heralds the advent of a new kind of song-and-dance pie ture. His 'Whoopee' last year was acknowledged the last and greatest of the first great flood of that kind of screen entertainment.
 In form, last years musical pie lures initiated the commonly &C., cepted conventions of the legiti- mate stage, with orchestras hidden in tree tops, with principals break ing out in song with little or no provocation and similar artificial ities. Either that or they followed the love life of hoofer and- the-song-and-d dance girl, with a couple of production numbers thrown in on the side. Quantity production of these formula stories soured the public. People refused to go to musical pictures-even if they were good, they said.
 Then followed a six months pe- hiod of silence, certainly silence from any song. Companies with pictures in work eliminated the songs. Now new musical pictures were attempted.
 Goldwyn Pioneer
 The pioneering Samuel Goldwyn ls taking the first step in bringing about a new order. "Palmy Days" like its predecessors, has elaborate and intricate dance routines, staged by the same master that presided over "Whoopee," Busby Berkeley. But they are different kinds of numbers.
 Chorus girls, for instance, don't exist in "Palmy Days" But at the same time, there are dozens and .dozens of Hollywood's most deco rative femininity, so decorative. in fact, that Goldwyn insists that they outdo "whoopee." They are wait resses in the super-bakeshop over which Eddie Cantor presides as efficiency expert Or they are cus- :tomers in the imposing lunch room las Eddie leads them in the intri- tcate art of dunking to song and Idance.
 Another of the production num- lbers," calling for precision dances land movements is the gymnasium Iof the plant. Which, by any system Iof calculation, seems an appropri- ate place for such going-on. Char llotte Greenwood, whose role is that of athletic director, leads a hum ldred glorified lassies in various stages of dress and undress through lroutines and dances that make the old Broadway musical shop steps syeem incredibly old.
 Big Program
 Other productions in the new .manner are being prepared by the Hollywood studios, in which song and dance Is used only as an essen tial part of the story. not as some thing dragged in by the neck while the story waits. Paramount, Of course, has Maurice Chevalier in ~The Smiling Lieutenant" M. G. M. is working on Sky High" and RKO Is preparing Girl Crazy" i, And so the picture fans, by re- Kusing to accept the stage form of musical comedy, have created for Themselves a new kind of screen Entertainment. X Fox Movietone news, Dogville comedy, Mickey Mouse cartoon and novelties completes the program.

BY DAN THOMAS (NEA Service Writer

Hollywood. - Practically every thing in this world is a game of give and take-with the motion picture industry being no excep- tion. In the film racket, those who can take couple of socks on the chin and still come up smiling are the ones who get there in the long run.
 Jack Oakie comes under that classification. The comedian gives plenty to his profession. But he also can take the bumps when nec- essary. That's one reason you will be seeing his name on theater mar quees for some time yet.
 When the talkies took their first strong grip on Hollywood Oakie skyrocketed. Prior to that time he had made a few silent films but he didn't figure very prominently in Hollywood's scheme of things. However, actors and especially comedians with legitimate stage training were at a premium in those days. Jack not only was a good comedian but he had a fine screen personality. The public liked him. Result-he was made a star almost overnight.
 But those who ride high some times fall pretty hard. And if you don't want to take our word for it. ask Jack. He'll tell you. Oakie has had quite a lot of trouble during the last few months. First, it was mix-up with managers. Then studio executives decided that he wasn't pulling them in at the box office as fast as he should. Of course, they never dreamed that the fault might lie with the stories they were giving him--they never do. All they could see was that Jack was losing some of his popu- alrity. So they denoted him from a star to a supporting player.
 That has happened before in Hollywood. And almost invariably the stars have squawked so loudly that they could be heard almost bcak to New York. But Jack took his sock standing up. He didn't "beef" or cry about his bad treat ment. He knew that he could act just as well as ever and decided to prove it.

TRIAL WITNESS GRILLED
ON STRYCHNINE SALE TO SISTER

woman who paid him Is cents for
sixty grains of strychnine in his
south side drug store three days be-
fore the tragic picnic.
In addition, there will be the drab
testimony of other witnesses,
friends, and relatives of the &C
cused woman, who will tell of her
love for her home and children and
reputation of outstanding character
in Hancock county.
Mrs. Simmons is expected to tell
her story to the jury of farmers,
Wednesday or Thursday and it is
likely the case will go to the jury
the first of next week.
If Judge John w. Hornaday re-
duces the host of character wit
nesses for Mrs. Simmons, attorneys
may turn the case over to jurors
before that time.
Reopening of the trial saw

thereby preclude any attack by the

LEBANON, Ind, Oct. 19.-Revert-
ing to the story of the purchase of
poison in an indianapolis drug store,
defense attorneys today started their
final drive to clear Mrs. Carrie Sim
mons of the charges that she is the
poison murderer of her daughters
Miss Ethel Robinson, BargerSville
farm woman, was questioned on the
purported purchase of poison by her
sister, Louise, at the store Of Charles
w. Friedman, indianapolis, three
days before the fatal picnic here,
June 81.
Miss Robinson said she accom-
panied her sister to South Meridian
street, where they bought eggs in a
grocery and waited while Louise
Robinson entered Friedman's store.
Her sister told her she bought
poison, but Miss Ethel Robinson
testified she did not see the bottle
until they reached home, when she
watched preparation of meat to be
used to kill vermin in the henhouSe.
She said she remembered the date
of the purchase, because her sister
was expecting a shipment of chick
ems June 10 from a Franklin hatch
cry.
