Emphasizing his warning that Down to Earth will never re- turn to Waterbury again, Will Rogers enter his last day at the Poii Palace in the delightful com edy wits its measure of wit ana wisdom 0 nthe screen. AS the Okia- homa man who has grown rlch only to have his family more ex- trayagant than he can afford, even when his banks have closed down on him, Will furnishes some good depression advice. Irene Rich, Dor othy Jordan and the entire cast help along in the mood of the story which calls for many fash- ionable bgckaroundh.
 Tomorrow brings an all new show to the Palace with Ine Age of Consent" topping the Dill and Thrill of Youth" bolstering the program. June Clyde, Allan Vincent and Dorothy Peterson have the big roles in the latter film. "The Are of Consent" boasts a romance withing it's fiction-a real life story of success. Cinderefla's magical rise from rags to rich raiment is re- enacted in the person of Dorothy Wilson. Hollywood's newest star to honor the astral roster of players. While debating suitable female lead for "The Age of Consent: RKo Radios poignant drama or two college students, studio officilas spied Miss Wilson behind a type, writer battering the asterisks and apostro phes for screen scripts. They instantly discerned her wholesome beauty and natural ease and over, :, night made her leading woman and one who justified the choice.

The two last minute choices eliminated former Lieutenant GoV- ernor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridge mort and State Senator Albert b. Lavery of Fairfield from competi- ton for places on the slate. Both had been promised places on the ticket by Harry s. Mackenzie, Fairfield county g. o. p. leader ana reputed first lieutenant Of Rora. back. Wilson had been assured or the lieutenant-governo place. which was allotted by the leaders to State Treasurer Roy C. WILCOX of Meriden. An effort to put him on as treasurer in place of LaVery met strong opposition. Finally poth were dropped. .,
 John A. Danaher of Hartford assistant United States district at torney, had been favored Tn pre- convention gossip as candidate TOT secretary of state. -
 Shortly after II a. m. the dele- gates, buzzing with excitement over the uncertainty so unusual for a republican convention, focked from the Hotel Taft to the Shubert theater next door and the conVen- tion opened.
 Nominated by Howard Alcorn, Suffield, speaker of the state house of representatives as explorer, man of letters, who always has held steadfast to his conviction, Senator Hiram Bingham was unanimously chosen by the conven- ton to be once more the party 5 candidate for the upper house Of congress. d.,
 In an address of acceptance, tne tall, white-haired former Yale scientist expressed appreciation of the nomination and outlined his nosition on such national questions as federal economy and prohibi- tion. .,,e
 As Bingham approached the platform to speak, someone in tne back of the auditorium sounded an automob bile horn which played the first four notes of How Dry Am"

"sTRANGER IN TOWN" AND "HOIIYWOOD SPEAKS" AT STRAND TO-DAY AND TO- MORROW

"stranger in Town" with "Chic" Sale. Ann Dvorak, David Manners, Noah Beery and Raymond Hatton playing the leading roles. begins two-day engagement at the Strand tomorrow.
 The plot gives us touch of nov elty as far as Sale is concerned, TOT it opens in the covered wagon days when. as a young pioneer, he drops ont of the wagon train to start the town which later contains his gen. eral store. In this sequence we see, for the first time, Sale with. out his makeup as his own natural self. But the bulk of the picture is laid in the present time where Sale, aged and bewhis- kered, is town postmaster and own CT of the only grocery store m town. On the same train on which his granddaughter returns from college is young man wno was sent out to start chain gro cery store branch in opposition 10 Sale. To complicate matters, the two young people fall in love, thus throwing impediments in the way of the fight which ensues between the two stores. |.
 "Chic" Sale has a superb role m this original story which was writ ten by Carl Erickson. The situa- tions move logically and dialogue IS decidedly fresh and amusing.
 Ann Dvorak who has been at tracting a great deal of attention through her work on the screen, | adds a lot to the picture through her performance as Sales grand daughter. David Manners. as the young chain store competitor, teams with Ann in providing the fine love interest of the picture There is no doubt that David Man. ners in this picture raises himself another notch in his rapidly grow ing popularity as a leading man.

 New Hampshire, apparently was determined not to exercise auto cratic power to iron out the dlfi1- culties in apportfoning the lesser places on the slate. AS the huddle in Roraback's suite was resumed it appeared v1r- tually certain that the candidate for United States senator would be Senator Hiram Bingham, New Ha- ven; for congressman-at-large' at Professor Charles M. Bakewel', New Haven; for governor, ForT.er Governor John H. Trumbull, Plain- vile; and for lieutenant governor State Treasurer Roy c. Wilcox. Meriden.
 | The remaining places-secretary | of state, treasurer and comptroller were in deepest doubt.
 Assistant United State District | Attorney John A. Danaher of Hart ford had been slated in preconven- ton forecasts to receive the nom- ination for secretary of state. Dr William l.. Higgins, the elderly Coventry physician who had held | that post for two consecutive terms, had been dropped from con- sideration with half-promise of | the second district congressional nomination.
 But eleventh hour developments indicated Danaher might be shunted off and the nomination given to a woman-Mrs Katherine | Byrne of Putnam, party vice. chairman. The suggestion reached the lobby of the Hotel Taft and ap- peared popular among the milling delegates who were to vote thelr choices in the Shubert theater' next door.
 A battle royal precipitated by the tactics of Harry B. Mackenzie, Fairfield county leader and reputed right hand man" to Roraback, with regard to former Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wilson of Bridgeport upset plans regarding the last two places on the ticket
 Bridgeport leaders declared Mac kenzie had promised Wilson would be named for lieutenant governor
 Mackenzie was evidently unable to keep his promise because of the strength of Wilcox and the Fair. field county followers of Wilson demaned he be given another place possibly treasurer.

faction were preparing to get to- gether for the purpose of once more going over their final plans. An effort will be made this evening and during the early hours of to- morrow morning to bring about compromise on the makeup of the state ticket. At the present writing it appeared unlikely that a fight on the convention floor tomorrow morning could be averted.
 r ExMayor Francis P. Guilfoile ar rived early this afternoon and was ready for the scheduled meeting of tho resolutions committee of which he is a member. This body will complete it's deliberations sometime tonight and will have the platform ready for presentation tomorrow morning. Mrs Ward Duffy of West Hartford was scheduled to appear before the committee to urge that Several blanks favored by the League of Women Voters be in- cluded in the platform adopted. These blanks are similar to those submitted to the republican state convention by Mrs Harry Coe of Waterbury.
 Mrs Nora Mahaney Harris of New Haven, formerly of Water bury, ce-chairman of the state central committee, called the wo- men delegates and women members of the central committee together this afternoon for the purpose of arranging the reception to be tend cred by them to Congresswoman Mary T.

New York.-After months of elaborate ballyhoo, Strange Inter- Jude" has come to the screen.
 And since this psychological study has become the most dis cussed drama of generation ana has been filed away as something of a modern classic, bringing it to the screen was a bit of pioneering daring which dazed even the high brows.
 The original, you may recall required five hours in the thea ter. The film is boiled down to an hour and a half. The original was a dramatized case history in which actors not only spoke their lines hut halted to voice their inner thoughts, Thus the masks were torn from them and asides were almost as frequent as the studied utteranceS.

T An alleged attempt at a holdup An an East Main street store term mated in three arrests last evening and in an investigation of reports That "racketeers' or muscle men Interested in promoting the busi- ness interests of an Ansonla clique are active here. From all indications it is an attempt on the part of some of the boys to imi' fate gambling machine "hi-1ack. CTS" and cleanup at the expense or policy writers.
 :. The disturbance in the East Main street store last evening re- suited in the arrest of Joseph Lerz, S6. of 79 Hawthorne avenue and George Tato, 32, of 1051 North Main street, on the charges or breach of the peace and theft. Their. cases were continued in po- lice court today until Saturday morning. Both young men are at liberty under bonds of $500 each. < The police are inclined to doubt some of the rumors current that Several young men suspected or being "muscle men," who declared themselves in on any game which might be of financial interest to them, have been toting guns. Su- perintendent of Police Joseph Il. Mclean has made checkup of all persons licensed to carry weapons in this city with view of learning who's who in the privileged class. If any of the boys are found Tn possession of guns they will face arrest and the usual changes.
 z Members of the emergency squad were responsible for last evenings arrest. They are also on the alert for some interesting developments in connection with the latest form of racketeering. The game is apparently to hold lip owners Or managers of alleged policy shops and make cleanup, With the consoling thought that

Having dared make the leap, the Metro-Goldwyn studios must take the consequences. And the general reaction of those who saw the O'Neill play has not been overly favorable. The screen version has been called disappointing, dull ana draggy.
 Certainly 1t is not he best type of medium for Hollywood, which holds in the camera the opportuni- ties for action and pageantry.
 Yet, so large is this drama that even Hollywood cannot damage It much, Cut to the mere outlines or the plot; slashed of many of It's best lines, and cast by players who may or may not have known what it was all about-still pretty good photoplay remains. Though it isn't my favorite type of cinema.
 Nor is 1t easy to see how this will be much of money maker outside those key cities where Strange Interlude" became a pet of the drama fanciers.
 The story, by way of refreshing your memory, concerns the young woman who lost her first love ana then married a fellow who brood ed over the taint of insanity In ms family. The stain in his oiooo caused him to fear paternity. ine wife, worried over his brooding, has child by another man put tells the husband it is his: Nat urally, the father" watcnes Ior signs and symptoms.
 The result is a tangled ana m volved psychological prooleIp aL- fecting the lives and loves or sev- eral people. It was written m . richly poetic key-and not a great deal of this is left.
 .Asides'' Well Handled The question arose, naturally erouph as to how the movies could handIa the "asides''-those speech as made by actors who expressed fbair innermostt houghts. This has been most interestingly achieved. Tn the play, action and characters stood still while thoughts were ut- tered. Here the movement con. times. and the asfdes are "cut In on the film. They are almost whis- nered and the effect is novel ana eerie. In this element, the screen can give the stage something to | think about.
 Certainly this is proof that a play may be so powerful that no hammering. cutting or manipuia- | tion can completely destroy It.. There is power even in the talking skeleton.
 Norma shearer is cast as Nina and Clark Gable as Ned parren' Both are good in a cinema fasn- ion, but neither as caught tne characters as portrayed on e sne stage, After seeing both Lynp Fontanne and Pauline Lord as Nina. one can merely conclude that either Miss shearer or the direcaor 2 slipped up On serious resa'ns and understanding of the pIey.
