Five Stars in
 Strand Picture |COrtez and Twelvetrees Leads in "Is My Face
 Red?"

Lightning paragraphs, the devoted love of chorus girl and the hopes and disillusionments of a multitude combine in the making, of "Is My Face Red?" with Ricardo Cortez, Helen Twelvetrees, Jill Esmond, Robert Armstrong and Airline Judge in the cast. The picture be- gins three day engagement at Warmers Strand on Sunday head lining a deluxe double feature pro- gram.
 It bares the soul and the activi- ties of high-pressure columnist-a wrecker of happiness, a rollicking imp of Satan, who .slings his darts at high and low, irrespective of feelings, blasted happiness and ruined regulations.
 Tearing the veil from the mys- terious origin of intensely personal gossip. the film accompanies the columnist on excursions into dives and speakeasies. It accompanies him backstage in Broadway show palaces and into the homes of the socially elect. It pictures him at work in his office and traces the innumerable tips which pour in on him. And 1t shows him before the radio microphone broadcasting the secrets that scar the souls of some or elate those who crave mention.
 With it's startling revelations, it tells an absorbing story in which tangled loves and bitter hatreds play their parts, and how the cava- Her perman Is at last triply cor nered.
 The companion feature presents Bob Steele in "Son of Oklahoma" This picture, being shown for the first time in Waterbury, has all the necessary requisites that have made the movies" famous. Stunts, thrills, action and mystery capably presented by an excellent cast are skillfully directed. A hidden gold mine in the desert, claim jumpers, rugged characters of the old west and a charming Spanish senorita provide the plot of this exciting western story. S..
 On Wednesday, and Thursday the Strand will present Forgotten Commandments with Sari Maritza and Gene Raymond and By Whose Hand?" with Ben Lyon and Barbara Weeks.
 On Friday and Saturday the pro- gram will include Red Headed Woman" with Jean Harlow and Chester Morris and "The Mislead- ing Lady" with Claudette Colbert, Edmund Lowe and Stuart Erwin.

 William Powell goes on Q sleep ing spree. Don't try to wake him before noon for the first few days after a picture is finished. Even- tually he returns to the lot all smiling and happy again.
 But not Ruth Chatterton. She stands by, in her studio cottage, available at any time for advice on editing, or cutting, and sticks there until the whole job is com pleted.
 Edward c. Robinson usually starts worrying immediately after the film is done, and is found early the next day asking questions. It is his strange form of mental relaxa- tion = cross-examining everybody in the place from executives down to studio bootblacks.
 John Barrymore is seldom available for weeks following a picture. He leaves on his yacht for a fishing cruise, leaving his business manager to handle pic- ture details and to report to him by radio, if necessary.

 Hollywood, Cal Harold Lloyd. as a movie-struck country boy, ably assisted by the beauteous Constance Cummings and a flock of baby ducks, has made Movie crazy one of the outstanding comedy films of the current season.
 The picture will not reach the theater until fall, but Harold has provided the press. with a few pre- mature laughs. ! Lloyd is very serious about his comedies and tests them thorough fly on picture audiences in smaller cities of Southern California.
 had my look in Santa Barbara. Five of us went down there in one of Lloyd's big automobiles. under the personal supervision of Harold and his wife, the former Mildred Davis. We left. Hollywood at dusk with all tn esecrecy of band of culprits intent on stealing the crown jewels, or the signals of Notre Dame football team.
 It was well worth the trip.
 The comedy reels dizzily through a series of original Lloyd gags con structed around the story of boy who crashes Hollywood and the studis. Constance Cummings plays the movie star, who becomes the sole interest of Harold from an amorous standpoint.
 These aforementioned baby ducks should not be forgotten. Thereby hangs a tale.
 Harold and Mildred were attend ing the Hollywood premier of Grand Hotep' when he first saw the ducks. Their owner had con- vinced the stage manager of the Chinese theater that he and the ducks should have part in the ex- pansive prologue, which preceded the feature picture. The owner, dressed as a big duck, was to come on the stage, lay prop egg. The little. ducks were to emerge from the egg and follow the Mama Duck into the wings of the stage.
 Mama Duck laid the egg and the little duc...s came forth as sched- uled. But from then on it was a riot. The infant ducks became stage struck under the brilliant lights. They fopped in all direc- tions and several of them ended up in the orchestra pit and in the front boxes, where Hollywood ce- lebrities were holding forth all dressed up.
 The consternation of the Mama Duck added to the hilarity.

Bancroft at
 the State
Popular Star Featured in
 Lady and Gent

George Bancroft has tlfe type of role which George Bancroft can fill best in Lady and Gent" a Paramount picture, which opened to-day at the State theater.
 It's an amusing story, this Lady and Gent" and yet it has bit of Pathos, a bit of genuine romance to it. With the support of cast headed by Wynne Gibson, Charles Starrett and James Gleason, Ban croft makes it picture certainly worth seeing.
 Bancroft is cast as a two-fisted "gent" from the area rather dim- ly lighted by the reflected glare from Broadway "a swaggering clustering fellow who is good natured and inclined to be weak in many respects. Miss Gibson is his gala sharp-tongued vixen, who despairs of Bancroft but sticks with him anyhow.
 The picture moves into it's stride when these two are sudden ly switched into respectable mid- dle-class existence in small town, and called upon to assume the re- responsibilities of parenthood for clever 12 year old. son of a dead friend. Bancroft discovers he likes it, but is ashamed to admit the fact to Miss Gibson, who has ar rived at the same conclusion, and feels the same way about the sit- uation.
 Ultimately they reach an un- derstanding, and help the boy, now matured and very much in love, to find happiness for himself.
 Bancroft is excellent in his role. No one can be quite so good- natured when good nature is re- quired; so brutal, when brutality is demanded; or anywhere near quite so sheepish when sheepish- ness is called for, as Paramount's MT Bancroft. And Miss Gibson, to stardom, puts her. self several notches nearer with her Interpretation of tough cabaret owner suddenly gone do- mestic. It's more difficult than it looks when she does it, as any act ress will testify.
 Charles Starrett, as the adopted son of later sequences, and James Gleason, the father whose untime- ly death places Starrett in the hands of Bancroft and Miss Gib- son, both give excellent perform 
 A special surrounding program of merit accompanies this splendid feature presentation.

Hollywood, Cal. (UP)-It may not be amiss to hesitate a moment and get acquainted with Ruth Hall, IS years old and brunette, who is starting her motion picture career under very good omen.
 Miss Hall has been signed to a contract by Samuel Goldwyn and will have the romantic lead in an Eddie Cantor production now in the making.
 When MT Goldwyn takes pen in hand to sign a contract Holly wood generally drops everything to see who IS sitting at the op- posite side of the desk as MT Goldwyn never has been consid- cred wasteful with his ink and is regarded as a cool and calculating dealer.
 You can go away back to the days of Marguerite Clark and then proceed right along the line to the present day with Wilma Banky, Ina Claire, Ronald Col man, ct al, and you will discover that the signers of Goldwyn con- tracts do right well by themselves and by MT Goldwyn.
 Ruth Hall got the movie bug two years ago when Henry King, a director, went to Tampa, Fla, her home town, to make "Helrs Harbor." King gave her 8 small part.
 Then Ruth convinced her mother, a capable business wo- man that Hollywood was the place to be. As Ruth had modelled clothes in Tampa, she had a very fine wardrobe and it helped her to obtain extra parts and finally talking bits.
