A mammoth stage ana screen en-
tertainment awaits patrons Of
Warmers Strand today and tomor-
row. On the stage the management
will present, at both the matinee
ana evening performances, the
Thomas club 1888 Revue. One solid
hour of grand entertainment pro-
vided by cast of funmakers worm
going miles to see and hear. There
are singers. dancers, comedians,
specially numbers and a myriad OF
pleasant surprises in store for those
who attend the Strand. The new
Thomas Club revue is said to be the
finest ever offered waterbury.
Many new faces and most OF the
old familiar ones will be seen In
the cast.
In addition the Strand will offer;
on the screen, Katharine Hepburn's
new hit christopher Strong" In
which she is supported by an ex-
cellent cast including Colin Give,
Billie Burke, Ralph Forbes and
Helen Chandler.
The companion feature presents
Joe e. Brown in his funniest COM
cry yet, ssElmer the Great" In the
cast are Patricia Ellis, Frank NC
Hugh, Preston S. Foster, Claire
Dodd and Russell Hopton.
The plot concerns a hick town
boy who develops into the cham
pion batsman of the big league. He
is also the champion eater and
long time sleeper. His cocksureness
makes him the butt of innumerabie
jokes by other members OF his
team.
Joe, as Elmer the Great, becomes
involved in a love tangle which
eventually lands him in Jail, and
very nearly loses the Worlds Series
championship for his team. How he
extricates himself and finally wins
both the game and the girl is one
of the most exciting as wei as the
most laughable incidents in a
comedy full of riotous situations
and fast action.
There will be no advance in
prices on either today or tomorrow.
It's a great show and one that
should play to capacity attendance,
inasmuch as the prices will not be
advanced.

FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO FILM STAR
Nancy CoZn,an 20 Is HoIlyOoods Newest Cinderella
BY DAN THOMAS

That's what they're calling
Nancy Colman around Hollywood
today.
with a single step. Nancy leaped
from a New England high schooI
into the leading feminine role OF
Cecil B. DeMille's new production.
"This Day and Age" which Is not
a bad beginning for a 20-year-old
brunei with screen aspirations.
After graduating from high
school last year, Nancy decided she
wanted to be an actress. She In
vaded broadway, but Broadway
wasn't interested. A few weeks ago
she came to Hollywood, arriving
Just as DeMille's was beginning his
search for leading lady. A screen
test and contract followeds
An auspicious start-but what
of the future? Good, If history &C
tually repeats itself. In the past
DeMille has shown himself to be
a rather shrewd judge of screen
talent. Florence Vidor, Agnes Ay-
ers. LilaLee, Leatrice Joy, Eleanor
Fair, Jacquelinen Logan and Lima
Basuuette all were discovered by
DeMilIe. And all assembled the high
on the cellu1oid ladder.
So there is every reason to be-
lieve that Miss Colman will do the
same.
Maybe You'll See Nancy
Cnder Another Name
Don't expect to hear too much
about Nancy Colman, however. BY
the time the picture is finished she
may be known as Sophie Schultz.
DeMille is in the throes of a name
changing Gag" A few days ago
Nancy was known as Mari Colman,
her real name. Tomorrow she may
be something else. :,
A youth known now as Paul
Adams has had his name changed
five or six-I've lost count-times
since he was signed for the picture
two weeks ago.
Well, Movie Stars Must
Have Their Little Jokes
Now it's Katharine Hepburn
who is laughing last-and 1oudest.
A short time ago Lowell Sher-
man stole her overalls and had
them placed on the set in a large
frame. A few days later when
Sherman started to leave the stu
dio, he couldn't bulge his car.
Katharine had persuaded Adolph
Menjou, Doug Fairbanks, Jr, Don
Alvarado and Mary Duncan to park
their cars around Sherman's. set
the brakes, lock them and go home
in taxis.
Sherman yelled and fumed when
he saw what had happened. But
he had to go home in a taxi too.
After devoting several weeks to
preparing an ice hockey story for
Col Tim Mccoy, Columbia studio
officials have just discovered that
their star doesn't know how to
skate.
Charlie Ruggles and Jack Oakie
aren't going to get in "Grasshop-
pers" after all. The story. written
originally for the Marx Brothers,
was showed on Ruggles and Oakie
when the Marxes walked out on
Paramount. But the brothers have
patched UP their difficulties and
have consented to do the picture
| for a fiat payment of 100000.
