EDDIE CANTOR IN
 POLL ENGAGEMENT
Roman Scandals Returns To-day for FOur=Day
 Run

Roman Scandals the lone pie ture, that has ever, in the history of Waterbury theatricals been so acclaimed, is now playing a return engagement at the Poli Theater, opening this afternoon.
 This gay, brilliant and exciting musical comedy starring pop-eyed Eddie Cantor was brought to Wa terbury, for one showing only at the New Years Eve midnight show, but so great were the throngs that endeavored to get in- to the theater, that tickets were not sold on the evening of the show at all, and the disappointed regular patrons of the Poli theater, be- sought the management to return the picture, right away so that they would also be able to share in this entertainment treat.
 Cantor, who is without a doubt the favorite star of the stage. screen and radio, is cast in this pic. ture in a role that is gay, merry and naughty.
 The action of the picture starts modern and finishes in ancient Rome, when it was rather deca- dent.
 Cantor in racy fashion chariot eers his way through a maze of comedy complications and beauti- full slave girls, in a manner that makes for fast entertainment.
 In addition to Eddie, the cast includes Ruth Fitting, always glam- orous and as you know talented, Gloria Stuart, one of the coming beauties of the screen world and David Manners and Edward Arnold are a few of the leading players.
 Naturally since this is Cantor picture. 1t is crammed with tuneful melodies, sung by this clever singer and is loaded with beautiful girls. the majority of whom are the slaves of Cantor before the finish of the picture.
 You owe yourself this treat of seeing Roman Scandals" and a word to the wise should be suffi. cient to get in early in the week, because the longer you put off your coming the harder it will be to secure choice seats.
 In addition to the feature pie ture there will be the usual care fully selected short subject pro- gram, always the best show in town.
 Polls Is now having its Parade of Hits' in which weekly the greatest of pictures will be shown, and this Is simply the start of great entertainment for this territory.

 STRAND FEATURE
"Lady Killer" Headlines Twin Offering Opening
 Tomorrow

James Cagney's new picture. sLady Killer" which heads the double feature program at War ners' Strand Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is punc- fuated by both thrills and laughs.
 The theme of Rosalind Shaffer's story, upon which the picture Is based, is a hilarious take-off on the Hollywood film colony in which a young ex-crook leaps to stardom on the screen by the unique meth- Od of writing his own fan mall and seeing that 1t gets into the hands of the producers.
 But the new film star finds 1t none too easy to bury his past life, for his former gangster pals turn up on the scene and try to black mail him into joining them in a plot to rob the homes of the film celebrities. They demand he act as their finger man." ointing out to them those movie stars he Knows to have lots of money and jewelry in their homes. These se- quences are said to furnish the most exciting scenes ever seen in Casney picture.
 ''I.ady Killer contains strong cast of talented screen and stage players with Mae Clarke, who first Ieaped to fame with Jimmy Gag ney in Public Enemy" two years ago. playing opposite him as member of the underworld crowd. Margaret Lindsay has the heroine role, that of the movie star flame of Cagney. Others include Henry O'Neil, Leslie Fenton, Russell Hop- Do 1a Dumbrille, Marjorie G a e on, George Blackwood, Willard Rob- ertson, Robert Elliott, William Davidson, Douglas Cosgrove, John Marston and George Chandler.
 The companion feature presents Constance Bennett in After To- night"
 The blonde star is seen as an allied spy who operates behind the Austrian lines during the World war, and goes from one narrow es- cape to another. Twice taken into custody, she manages to avoid the death before a firing squad that is meted out to one of her less for tunate accomplices, but each es- cape sees her plunged into new perils until a trap from which there seems no outlet closes about her.
 Gilbert Roland plays the male lead, and unusual drama is added to the romance through the fact that the lovers are war enemies.
 While all of the vital action cen- ters aboutMis s Bennett and Ro- land, a large cast, including Ed ward Ellis, Lucien Prival, John Wray and others lends support.
 Thursday brings an all new show to include Havana Widows" and Cradle Song"

 CAPITOL SUNDAY
" Baron Munchausen" Heads Banner Bill
 Fine Supporting Cast

 GARDEN HEADLINE
Lillian Harvey Starred in Fox Film Tomorrow
 Companion Feature

After captivating the hearts of the American public in her initial
 performance in My Weakness" " Lillian Harvey comes to the screen at the New Garden theater this Sunday and Monday in her latest Fox Film release, My Lips Be- tray" Colorfully mounted and gorgeouly portrayed, My Lips Betray" offers Miss Harvey a splendid opportunity to display her fulsome ability. It goes with out saying that Miss Harvey takes fine advantage of this opportunity. A simple and charming story, My Lips Betray" concerns the awful plight of demure beauty. She's broke and down on her luck. After being berated by her landlady for overdue rent, she sets off for her job as a cabaret entertainer. The kings chauffeur, who is bit tipsy, insists upon taking her home after her performance. Word soon passes that she is the kings favorite and she accepts the tributes accorded her. When the king hears the news he defies his mother and the prime minister who are trying to get hi into wed a homely princess, and sets out in a captains uniform to meet the girl. When he finally finds the impostor, he falls in love with her. If you have imagina- tion, you know that something in- teresting must happen, and indeed does.

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood.-A photographers dream come true. And the living realization is Jean Muir, 18-year- old screen actress. She possesses an absolutely perfect photographic fact.
 Motion picture cameramen, who spend hours every day trying to cover defects in faces of celebi- ties they have been shooting, go home at night and dream of per- feet photographic beauty. But al- ways they were dreams until little Miss Muir came along. She is the kind of girl cameramen don't be- lieve exists, even when they see her.
 The face of practically every star in pictures has it's faults, from the cameras viewpoint. It may be bad tilt to the nose, and upper lip that's too long, a cheek bone which throws a shadow, or a dozen other things.
 Whatever the fault, most of the stars have to be photographed from certain angles if they are to look their best.
 Jean doesn't require any of that special attention. "A blind man could shove camera in front of her and get a good picture" a cameraman told me.
 Divide her face into four equal parts" he continued, "and you will find that you have absolute balance and proportion. Every feature Is perfectly formed and matched.
 "She may not be the most beau- tiful girl in the world, but she Is one of those rare creatures with perfect camera beauty"

 For the first time since hecame into pictures, George Raft has turned "hoofer." Once the highest paid American dancer in Europe, George thought he had given up all when he embarked upon his screen career. He was wrong, as will be seen when his next picture, "Bo- lero," brings him to the screen as a dancer.
