"KING KONG"
 AT PALACE SUNDAY

Starved, homeless, desperate and about to steal! Then offered money and fame if she would take a job without asking questions! And then finding she is playing the fear paralyzing role of Beauty in film an explorer has travelled to far away and mysterious island to produce. Legend says a great Beast - a fifty foot ape - reigns supreme over savages and huge creatures left over from the prehis- toric age.
 The theme of Beauty and the Beast reaches new proportions m the extravagantly imaginative story depicted in "King Kong" with the aid of secret processes of produc- ton and photography calculated to baffle audiences at the Palace theater, where this RKO-Radio spectacular fantasy is to be seen Sunday.
 Based on an idea conceived by Edgar Wallace, just before ms death, with Merriam c. Cooper, ana produced by Cooper with Ernest B. Schoedsack, "King Kong" shows what might easily happen to the man-made triumphs of civilization if a huge anthropoid left over from the Jurassic Age were to run amuck through the streets of New York.
 Fay Wray is the Beauty whose Ioveliness inspires the fifteen ton Beast with 8 love and tenderness he had never befor known. Robrt Armstrong, Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher, Sam Hardy. Noble John son and others are in the cast. The upicture has been two years in the making and is said to be the. great est achievement of it's kind in mo- ton picture sound production.

''THE GREAT JASPER"
 AT THE STATE

'"The Great Jaspeh," starring Richard Dix with Vera Engels and Edna May Oliver, and Jack Holt in Man Against Woman" conclude their engagement at Warmers State theater this eve- ming. Tomorrow brings John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore in "Rasputin and the Empress" their first appearance together on the screen. There wil lbe no advance in pries ngetaoinshrdIuucc
 in prices during the engagement of this super attraction.
 No better vehicle could have been chosen than the dramatic story of the last days of the Romanoff dynasty, colorful as a period play yet so modern that 1t is within the memory of this gen. eration. One sees Rasputin in his maze of intrigues, orgies. hypnotic spells and duplicity, and while it seems inconceivable, remembers when these self-same things were the topic of tn newspapers.
 The Barrymores bring the char acters to virtual life. John is a brilliant figure as the debonair Prince Chegodieff. Ethel Barry more offers stirring picture of the ill-fated Empress. The role was reality to her = the Russian empress was her friend-and hence she plays 1t with 8 depth of under standing and knowledge that at

Charles H. Granger of the Wa terbury Clock company opened the discussion at the hearing on the 4S-hour week yesterday in Hart ford for the opponents of the bill as a representative of the Manu- lecturers association.
 If we had national legislation for a 48-hour week. he said, Il do not believe one manufacturer would be opposed to it. But when we look at the laws of other states. we do not sec how we can compete with them if we are operating un- der such a law. The Massachus- etts 4S-hour law, he said had re- suited in the removal of hundreds of factories to other states.
 Speakers in support of the bill have said factories are working with the 10-hour day. The most serious problem the manufacturers are facing is that of trying to keep the factories going. in the face of competition from other states ana

Bill Calls for Local Option But Any Hotel Can Sell Beer Without Any Local License

Montpelier. Vt, March 24-(UP) The Vermont senate to-day passed a bill legalizing and reg ulating the sale of 3.2 beer in Ver- mont. The house of represent atives previously had passed the measure.
 The bill provides for local op- ton, but any hotel containing more than 20 sleeping rooms may serve 32 beverage with meals, re- gardless of local sentiment.
 There will be two classes of re- tail licenses. first, where the bev- craze is served with meals. and second, where it is to be consumed o ffthe premises. Wholesalers and bottlers will be licensed at fee of $20O and in addition will be taxed $1 per 31-gallon barrel. Re- tailers will be licensed at a fee of $10 and hotels at fee of $50.

Distin- guished work is also done. by Ralph Morgan, as the Czar; Diana Wynyard, as Princess Natasha; Tad Alexander as the Czarevitch: c. Henry Gordon and Edward Arnold.
 Slightly fictionized, "Rasputin and the Empress" is a literal glance at the factors which plunged Russia into war and revolt. It is staged on a scale more lavish than anything heretofore attempted in talking pictures, with it's tgrea throne-room sequence, the impress sive and spectacular ceremony in the Kremlin, the huge review of the troops and other authentic reproductions of the g1ories that were St Petersburg before it was swept by the red tide of revolu- tion.

 Hollywood. - There is small chance that the motion picture in- dustry will be moved anywhere near New York. despite consider able discussion of that possibility.
 It is true that the money inter- ests of the industry, all centered in New York, would like to have pictures produced where 1t would be easier to see what is going on. But that won't happen.
 In the first place there is some- thing like $200, 100000 worth of studios and equipment centered in and around Hollywood. Need less to say, that hardly can be scrapped. Besides, numerous previous efforts to produce pie lures in the east have not turned out very well.
 Now that the banking holiday is a thing of the past, Hollywood is having no end of fun laughing about the predicament in which 1t placed some of the celebrities.
