STRAND OFFERING
 ONLY YESTERDAY
John Boles Has Leading ROle-First Showing
 Tomorrow

Acclaimed the dramatic hit of the year, "Only Yesterday heads the double feature program at the Strand Sunday to Thursday.
 To a love story of surpassing ten- derness must be added exceptional artistry in direction and the serv- ices of a cast which is well-nigh perfect. The work of Margaret Sul- lavan, in the leading feminine role, well explains why she has recently created ' such a sensation on the New York stage, and justifies her selection for one of the most sought after parts of the season. Never before in his screen career has John Boles contributed such a sim cerely moving performance as he does in the principal male role; and high praise must also be given to Billie Burke and Edna May Ol- iver and Reginald Denny, who played feature parts. The entire supporting, east. indeed, is excel lent, consisting as it does of Ben- ita Hume, Berton Churchill, On- slow Stevens, June Clyde, Walter

Miss Dressler gives another of her
 human and 1ovable performances. hile Barrymore as the lovable old doctor who becomes obsessed at the thought of riches within his grasp. gives an equally. brilliant performance.
 The story deals wit hthe family of a country doctor who in the past has befriended an artist long since dead. The painting of the artists are discovered to be worth great deal of money. The doc- tor under the lash of avarice, seeks to steal the portrait of the servant Abby, thereby uncovering 8 TO- nance of the past and preciptaung startling denouement. Various characters are introduced including the innocent lovers, the scheming wife, the jealous daughter. the suave art dealer, all of whom tend to inject interesting touches in this absorbing drama.
 In addition to the feature pic ture there will also be the usual sterling assortment of carefully se- lected short subjects that will in- clude comedies, an old time reel, Stoopnagle and Bud in one of their comedies, the News and other sub- jects.
 For the mid-week change of program, two of the most pleasing pictures shown here in recent weeks will be on tap for patrons of Polls, namely "The Prizefighter and the Lady and White Wom- an.''

Catlett, Barry Norton, Betty Blythe, and literally dozens of other equally well known players.
 Much credit for the unusual suc- cess of "Only Yesterday" as mo- ton picture is attributable to the fine direction of John M. Stahl, a recognized master in the field of domestic drama. His Back Street" of last season was adjudged one of the best pictures of the year, but "Only Yesterday" is without doubt the finest thing he has ever done. Here is a picture which will liter ially enthrall you, and you will leave the theater with something to think about for many a day. It is truly an epic of modern American life. %
 The companion feature is 'Tillie and Gus, starring those lovable old troupers, w. C.. Fields and Ali son Skipworth with a supporting cast. that includes Baby LeRoy, Jacqueline Wells, George Barbier and other favorites. There are a million, laughs in this comedy of a pair of slick missionaries" who trim everybody until their con- science catches up with them. Thursday brings Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy in "Blonde Bombshelp' and Chester Morris with Helen Twelvetrees in 'King For A Night" Joan Crawford in Dancing Lady" has been booked for an early show ing at the Strand.

MARIE DRESSLER
 TOPS POLL BILL
Starred With Lionel Barry more in ''Her Sweet
 heart" Opening To-day

Not the screens most beautiful
 creature, but still the favorite
 actress of all ages, Marie Dressler returns to the silver sheet of the Poli theater this afternoon in her
 latest pleasure vehicle and a warm welcome is assured her. This is the celebrated birthday picture that you have been reading about in the papers, and as usual with this grand old trouper, instead of her getting the present, it is a present for you. The name of her latest picture is "Her Sweetheart" taken from the celebrated stage play and
 best selling book, "The Late Chris topher Bean."
 Miss Dressler in herself is enough stars for any picture, but when she is co-starred with anoth- CT of the screens favorites, Lionel Barrymore, then there is plenty of occasion for all to shout with glee. and this is just what happens in this picture.
 The two beloved figures who won the highest awards of the screen, the Academy award for best performances, provide vivid personalities in story that is re- plete with laughs as well as many dramatic moments. As Abby, the faithful old servant who finds her. self in possession of valuable painting, and who becomes the center of intrigues and plotting.

Claire Trevor. and Ralph Morgan, the cast includes Howard Lally, J. Carroll ,Naish, John Milan, Matt McHugh, Kathleen Burke, Mary
 Mason, Willard Robertson. Paul Fix and Jerry Devine. The direc- tion is by Irving Cummings from the story by William Conselman.
 The companion feature on the
 bill is first run western picture "Gun Justice" featuring Ken May nard and if you enjoy fast action and good, clean entertainment you will like, Gun Justice" the fifth and best of a series of Universal western pictures starring Ken Maynard, who now has the cowboy field to himself. The picture is unusual in that Maynard finds him self pitted against two gangs of plains hoodlums rather than just one. His uncle. dying, leaves his ranch. which the bad men" have sought to control for years. to him and to Cecilia Parker. One of the epic scenes is the driving of hun, dreds of cattle across the plains. Maynard is his own capable self. Miss Parker proves a most attrac- tive leading lady. Hooper Atchley and Water Miller, as heads of large gangs prove excellent men, aces. Tarzan is on the job every minute, responding to every call from his master and backing him, up in the tight places.

"The Mad Game" Fox picture, one of the most sensational revel- ations that has come to the screen will be shown at the New Garden theater Sunday and Monday. Spencer Tracy has the featured role and he is supported by splen did cast headed by Claire Trevor and Ralph Morgan. It is story of heartaches torn from screaming front page headlines. and scared into the consciousness of nation.

It is charged with pow CT, vitality and elemental force. For all it's sensationalism and prima! power.

STATE FEATURES
 MUSICAL COMEDY
"Take a Chance" Heads Double Attraction
 Starting To-day

Paramount's latest smash hit musical comedy, Take a Chance heads another smart double feature entertainment at Warmers State starting today for four days. It is a gay bit of nonsense con- corning the careers of four carni- val side-show entertainers who be- come tired of small-town life and decide to snatch fame and fortune on Broadway.
 James Dunn and Cliff Edwards, who just can't keep from pocket ing other peoples watches and miscellaneous valuables. make a splendid team. Dunn, who has played romantic leads exclusively in the past, steps over into farce comedy as though born to it. June Knight and Lillian Roth support them well.
 ''Take Chance" has. a much stronger plot than the usual musi- cal film, besides boasting of a chorus of Broadway's prettiest girls and at least five hit songs.
 Opening at a small town carni- val, the picture follows the car eers of the four irrepressible youngsters safely through the villianies of a crooked gamblers and a jealous actress, and ends with a double romance between Dunn and Miss Roth and Charles
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-12-16

Buddy Rogers and June Knight. Robert Gleckler as the gambler who plots the ruin of Miss Knight and Lillian Bond as the actress who wants to force Rogers to marry her provide both thrills and laughter throughout the story. The companion feature, Master of Men" starring Jack Holt, is as powerfully dramatic a picture as most red-blooded audiences could possibly desire. Holt, who seems to endow each film in which he ap- pears with his own refreshing vii tality and strength, turns in a splendid individual performance in a picture that bristles with bril- liant acting.
 Fay Wray, as Holt's devoted and far-seeing. wife, is as lovely and competent as, usual. Her portrayal stands out as one of her finest, and. certainly as one in which she has greater. opportunity to dis play her dramatic talents.
 The supporting cast includes Walter Connolly and Theodor Won Eltz. This is one of the finest dou- 'ble feature bills of the year and entertainment that should appeal to every theatergoer.
