Dolores Back in
 Expensive Women
State Offers Star in Her
 Finest Picture

Dolores Costello returns to the screen in Expensive Women" which opens a four day engage ment at Warner Bros State thea ter today. This charming star makes her return most suspicious by giving a performance that far surpasses any of her previous work by a wide margin. Perhaps this is made a bit easy for her by the spleddid supporting cast that War ner Brothers has surrounded her with. There is H. B. Warner, last seen in Five Star Final" Anthony Bushell. also in that picture, Joe Donahue, brother of the last last Jack Donahue of musical comedy fame, and Warren Williams, new conner to the screen, wfo plays the leading role opposite Miss Costello and gives promise of becoming 9 great favorite.
 With such a stellar cast as this Expensive Women" has been made into one of the most delightful romances of the current season and is a picture of which it's produ- cers, Warner Brothers, may feel justly proud.
 Much interest was aroused in the announcements maQe m IHoFit magazines, newspapers and on the screen of Miss Costello's decision to return to the screen and her legion of followers and admirers will witness a new and most ac- complished actress when they see her in this picture.
 An excellent surrounding pro- gram has been booked to accom- pany the feature presentation which is at 2:20, 4:45, and 9:S8 daily.
 Starting Wednesday next the fea- ture attraction will be Paramount's new sensation "The Road To Reno" with Lilyan Tashman, Charles Buddy Rogers, Peggy shannon, William Boyd and Irving Pichel. This picture has been making new attendance records on the west coast during the past few weeks and comes to Waterbury with the enthusiastic approval of movie critics in the leading cities where 1t has been shown, as four star hit

ance in "Cimarron." Miss Wray is the protected daughter of the em-
 bezzling recIuse, hiding at the inn. An extraordinary gathering of
 character players appear as "the family" the exiled criminals whose plottings and schemings give such animation to the yarn. Warren Hymer, Fully Marshall, Lawrence Grant Uric Haupt, Kit Guard, Henry Armetta and Mischa Auer are among the thespian menaces of the yarn.
 Charles MacArthur and Ben Hecht, who authored the outstand- ingly successful Front Page" wrote the story and also prepared the adaptation. George Fitzmaur- ice, who has been Colman's most successful director since the days of "The Dark Angel" is again re- sponsible for this newest Samuel
 Goldwyn picture. Willy Pogany and Capt. Richard Day created the
 settings, which depict the decayed splendor of an isolated inn in AL
 geria at the borders of the Sahara $ sum- baked sand dunes.
 It is there, in Orage, that the
 odd assortment of crooks. adven- turers and murderers gather to
 plot the capture of the old Baron's s
 hidden plunder. By fair means or foul, they planned to force the
 secret of the hiding place from the recluse and his daughter. Barry
 Hunt, (Ronald Colman). pursued
 by an allurng spy for the police
 (Estelle Taylor) appears to propose skill and trickery instead of vio-
 lence. Through the Baron's daugh- ter, Camilla (Fay Wray), Barry
 gegins his work. Murder, wild des- ert rides, the excitement of life-or-
 death gambling, cat-like cunning as
 men match wits and brawn for for
 tunes or a woman's smile, the thud of the impact of fists and fiesh,-

Ronald Coleman
 Palace Feature
Appears With Estelle Tay- Tor in "The UnhOly Garden

Recklessly adventurous rather than romantic, Ronald Colman comes to the Fox-Poli Palace thea ter Sunday in "The Unholy Gar den," as Samuel Goldwyn's first screen presentation of the year.
 For the first time in two years, Colman is no longer the suave poll ished English gentleman. Instead, he is an outcast and renegade, hiding out with dozen other refu- gees from. the law in strange outpost at the edge of the Sahara. Disheveled and unshaven, hair touseled and clothes mussed, he is a sharp contrast to the immacu- lately groomed here of "The Devil to Pay" Rallies" and Bulldog Drummond," his earlier pictures for MT. Goldwyn.
 Estelle Taylor and Fay Wray have the principal feminine roles. As the wanton voluptuary of the story, Miss Taylor has the biggest part since her memorable appear

one of the dramatic gems of the picture capitals current crop. The Sherwood story depicts the i'll luck of pretty chorus girl who descends, as the war progresses, to a cheap artists model and event ually to solicitor. A boyish sol- dier literally runs into her during the course of an air raid, on Lon don's we1l-known Waterloo bridge, and eventually falls madly in love with her.
 The ensuing situations in which the girl grows to love the boy and the intense scenes in which he takes her to visit his aristocratic parents are said to be the ultimate in drama.
