'Roman Scandals Tops Banner Double Bill
 Opening TO=mOrrOw

Roman Scandals, Eddie Can tors fourth annual screen musical comedy, begins a four day engage ment at Warmers Strand tomorrow where it headlines one of the most outstanding double feature programs ever presented at this popular cinema temple.

 The good people back in West Rome are a little uncertain about Eddie, as he trundles along in the E with his dumping nag, Julia. Most looney in a harmless way. Not he gives his groceries away to anyone who seems hungry. And then, too, he spends hours day dreaming in the towns museum among the statues of the heroes of classic antiquity.
 This latter pursuit so completely takes hold of his imagination that he is carried back to ancient Rome where he becomes involved in g plot to rescue the beautiful cap tive Princess Sylvia from the lust full clutches of the Emperor. After series of mad misadventures he is finally made food-taster in the Imperial household and becomes a court favorite-especially with the voluptuous Empress, who en- tangles him in a plot to poison her wicked consort.

 OPENS AT STATE
New England Premiere of Death Takes a Holiday"
 Here To-day

The gala New England premiere of Paramount's smash hit Death Takes a Holiday" takes place at Warmers State theater to-day where the picture opens following a record-smashing two week en- gagement at the New York Para mount theater.

From the famous play by Alberto Casella, adapted to English by Walter Ferris, Para mount gave the screen play into the capable hands of Maxwell An derson, Pulitzer prize winner, and Gladys Lehman.
 Their efforts and the work ot a capable cast which includes such masterly performers as Katherine Alexander. Helen Westley. Henry Travers and Kathleen Howard dig nifty a production which demanded beauty and dignity above all else in its screen presentation.
 The story is based on the in triguing idea of Death, the eternal shadow, taking a three-day holiday that he may come to this world to taste life's pleasures to the full.
 He comes as a gay, dashing, TO- mantle prince, his real person un- known to the guests at the house party at which he makes his ap- ,pearance.
 For three days, he participates in all their games and pastimes, seeking to find some reason for mans love of life and fear of death. But the prince becomes bored with life's pleasures.
 He saves the excitement of love until nearly the end of his holiday. And that, too, disillu- sions him. He is unable to find an unselfish love, a love that knows no fear, 8 love so eternal that even the knowledge of his true charac- ter would be unable to shatter 1t.
 Almost at the end of his stay, his search is successful. He meets a beautiful young girl and in her arms finds all of life's beauty Then his holiday is over and, like any mortal man, he is afraid, dreads to leave the life he finds so dear.
 Frederic March delivers a splen. did performance, one which is bound to bring him to the fore as one of the outstanding contenders for the 1894 Best Acting Award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Evelyn Venable is excellent, as is every member of the cast of this we'll mounted pro- duction.
