"So Big" sarring Barbara Stan wyck. concludes its local engage ment tonight at Warmers State.
 Starting Wednesday two deluxe features will be presented to 1n- clude Impatient Maiden" ana .'The Big Timer" "Don't worry; wasn't looking at your leg!"
 Imagine a man saying this to girl he meets for the first time-a girl who has gone through her young life is firm conviction that the prime interest of every man lies in feminine legs-that a girl must constantly be on her guard, ready to repel the unseemly advances or the male.
 But when a young doctor ad- dresses such a remark to her, ana confirms his statement with total lack of interest in her undoubted charms. the girls interest is aroused and she proceeds to "set her cap" for the doctor-oniy 10 find that he is not so far advanced on the theory of the completeness of love and the part that marriage should play in it. Here is a unique situation. -
 This is the setting of "The 1m- patient Maiden," Universars startlingly frank drama. Lew Ayres in the starring role of the young physician and Mae Clarke as fhe maiden in the case. The pie ture was directed by James Whale, and other important members of inc case are Una Merkel. John Halliday, Andy Devine, Cecil Gun ningham, Helen Jerome Eddy and Arthur Hoyt.
 "The Impatient Maiden" is said to shed much light on the feelings and artifices of sophisticated girl who thinks she knows all about loye-until she meets a new kind of man. The story is taken from Donald Henderson Clarke's best seller which was an eye opener if there ever was one. Clarke has a flair for laying bare life's mod estly guarded secrets and James Whale has a flare for making such things deliciously human and talk ing the sting out of them. What a team.
 Ben Lyon, Constance Cummings and Thelma Todd head the cast of ''The Big Timer. It's a comedy drama, following the romantic and fistic adventures of a bragging but ambitious lad who wants to be a fighter so he can make money enough to buy the lunch wagon where he is a hamburger chef de luxe. Eventually he wants to own whole string of lunch wagons he can make as much as a thous- and a week! And then he gets to be a big timer with bigger ambitions that, however, don't pan out to be better ones!
 "The Big Timer" is directed by Eddie Buzzell from an original story oby Robert Riskin. It prom ises to be full of laughs, thrills and action.

 This means that if the Smith delegates are in the majority from Connecticut to the national con- vention, they will elect ex-Mayor Fitzgerald the national committee man and unseat the present incum- bent, McNeil of Bridgeport.
 "Waterbury is out and out a Smith city and we will support anybody who Is behind his candi- dacy this fall," said Town Chair man Crary this morning. Continu- ing, he pointed out that McNeil of Bridgeport has been pushing the Roosevelt fight in Connecticut and opposing the Smith candida cy. "Reiterating my former stand, I state to-day that if there is only one vote cast in the state conven- ton for Smith it will be mine, " said Town Chairman Crary this morning. However, Waterbury s entire state delegation will be for Smith.
 Last night the ticket of dele gates was filed. This ticket will be formally voted upon Thursday night at the local primaries. The delegates elected will attend the local city convention and elect delegates to the state convention. The ticket offered last night is as follows:

running for renomination as wet endorsed by the association against the prohibition amendment and other i-prohibition organlza- tions.
 The shift in the lineup is now about to overshadow most other aspects of the presidential pre- convention fight. Within the Hoover administration, every member of the cabinet is ready to support resubmission, as reported by the United Press last week. Two of the dryest members have slight ly varying plans for bringing about a test of sentiment. President Hoover's position is still unknown. He prefers to "let the convention decide"
 Missouri offers a striking ex- ample of what is going on. The republican party has hitherto been dry in Missouri, except in St Louis. Secretary of Agriculture Hyde re- cently accepted the resubmission idea and will fight for it at the Chicago convention. Governor Henry S. Caulfield. for some years identified with the rural dry re- publican organization, has declared for resubmission. Now the most conspicuous dry. Missouri democrat, Charles M. Hay, candidate for the senatorial nomination, long asso- ciated with the Anti-Saloon League as director and attorney, and still a believer in the 18th amendment, has declared for re- submission.
 A few months ago the extreme drys were doggedly declaring pro- hibition was in the constitution 10 stay. They scoffed at all talk or a change. The stock declaration was that every congressional cleo tion constituted a sufficient ref erendum." :,
 Any proposal except for blind allegiance to the 18th amendment was denounced as wet propaganda. Only a few months ago John J.. Raskob, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, was denounced when he suggested a modification of the 18th amend ment ought to be submitted to the people.
 Now the list of those agreeable to test in one form or another in- clude F. Scott Mcbride, general su- perintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, Bishop James Cannon. and former Governor Harry. F. Byrd of Virginia. Senators and con- gressmen are going on record

Smith Is Favorite

Boston, April 26-(UP)-Alfred E. Smith ruled a top-heavy favor ite over Governor Franklin D.. Roosevelt as Massachusetts demo- crats went to the polls in to-day's presidential primary.
 The Smith forces prediqted a sweeping victory. The Roosevelt group declared it would win ma jority of the delegates-at-large andS10 of the 15 district delegates. But most impartial observers felt that of the Roosevelt-pledged del- egates-at- large, only Mayor James M. Curley of Boston and James Roosevelt, 24 year old son of New York's governor, stood much chance of winning; and that the only real contestsfin the districts would be in theF 8th, 9th, 10th, 14th and 18th. (
 The democratsF Were to elect 12 delegates at-large, each with a half vote, in the national conven- tion and two delegates from each of the 15 congressional districts, with full vote for each delegate, giving the sta.e a total of 36 votes. Rain this morning strengthened the general belief that the vote would be comparatively light. Democratic ieaders estimated that 150,000 to 175.000 votes would be cast, againE 214,991 in the 1880

Installation of Smith as strong state primary.
 favorite was due to his tremendous popularity in Massachusetts, which he carried in the presidential elec- tion of 1928, and to the makeup of his slate, which includes U. S.. Senators David I. Walsh and Mar GUS A. Coolidge, and Governor Jo- seph B. Ely-three of the states outstanding democratic leaders.
 Politically speaking, the only "big name" on the Roosevelt pledged slate was that of Mayor Curley, whose pulling power as a vote-getter is limited largely to the Boston area. And many of the local leaders who have worked faithfully for Curley in past cam paigns have worked with equal enthusiasm for the Smith cause this year.
 Republicans were to choose four delegates-at-lar and two from each of the 15 congressional dis tricts, a total of 34, each of whom will have one vote in the conven- tion.
 There was no opposition to the election of delegates at large pledged to President Hoover. and in but three districts were there any contests. Except in the 1st district, where former Secretary of Commerce William F. Whiting of Holyoke was running unpledged, the contests were between differ ent groups, all for Hoover's renom- ination.
 Whiting has not declared him. self against Hoover, whom he suc- ceeded as secretary of Commerce in the Coolidge cabinet, but has insisted he merely wants to be free of obligations to vote for any par ticular candidate at the repubn- can national convention.

 Another contest of interest is in the 18th congressional district where the veteran Louis T. Mo- Fadden, who recently attacked the national administration, is opposed by Mrs Cornelia Brice Pinchot, wife of the governor.
 Persons familiar with state poli- tics said President Hoover is cer- tain to win the entire slate of dele gates to the republican national convention, despite the fact that Joseph I. France. former Mary land senator. is the only person who has filed for thep rimary.
 The republican organization all ready has announced itself solidly as favoring renomination of Pres ident Hoover.
