STATE

The fact that Waterbury was
visited with terrific snow storm
during the engagement of Claud-
cite Colbert Clark Cables hit cit
Happened One Night, prevented
hundreds of local theatergoers
from seeing it at Warmers State.
The innumerable requests that
have come to the managers Office
has resulted in q deviation from
the States policy of not repeating
pictures. ut Happened One Night"
has proven to be one of the most
outstanding hits of the current sea-
son and in response to these re-
quests has been booked for re-
turn engagement tomorrow to Fri
day night.
1t was, evidently, to be expected
that at Happened One Night"
would rank high among the years
best. That it has surpassed even
the most ambitious estimates is a
tribute to the fine acting of the
two stars, the direction of Capra,
Riskin's sparkling script and the
elaborate production afforded 1t by
the Columbia studios.
Gable, as the cynical, rough
newspaper reporter, Peter Warne,
is again the Gable the fans want
to see. He treats Claudette rough
and she likes it. Miss Colbert, as
the runaway heiress, Ellen An
drews, is human, lovable and tan
TALKING. She has never before met
a man like Peter, who tells her
she's worthless, spoiled and selfish.
Claudette first resents this treat
ment, then tolerateS it-and then
loves it!
The supporting cast is excellent.
Walter Connolly plays Claudette's
father; Jameson Thomas is the
man she is struggling north to
join. Roscoe Harms Is a travelling
salesman who recognizes the girl
as the runaway Ellen Andrews and
who tries to bluff Gable. but finds
himself out-bluffed. Alan Hale,
Blanche Frederick, Ward Bond,
Mickey Daniels, George Breakston,
Father Dodd and Irving Bacon
were spotted in small but i'm
portant roles, and even the minor
bits are played by seasoned and
experienced troupers.
See 'It Happened One Night.
We guarantee you'll-enjoy it i'm
mensely. The companion feature
is being shown for the first time
in Waterbury is "The Ninth Guest"
in which new formula for muir
der mystery plots 10 used. It's a
thriller from start to finish. In the
cast are Donald Cook, Genevieve
Tobin and other favorites.

that could bring her back to the
screen from her two years virtual

Appearing in supporting roles is
a cast of unusual impressiveness.

A Daily Story
from
Real Life

1.-THE world that Nina Hargraves'
husband was in a sanitarium, a VIC
tim of the market that had made
him a millionaire; that he would
never again be able to recognize
his wife or occupy a place in his
home; that Kara Norris, who had
| intended to have children when
when they could afford to, would
now give the millions she possess
ed for just one child of her own;
that Mona Tenney had not seen her
husband in weeks, and knew only
from hearsay that he was in Eu-
rope with a Broadway companion
who would be succeeded by an
/ other, just as she had been pre-
ceded by another from the same
fascinating section.
Kara Morris could talk of moth
ing but Mary's children. Her guests
listened with visions of poor, I'M
derfed wretches fighting their way
through poverty. Frank, Jr., the
eldest, was an inferno and hoping
to practice soon. Mary said. Jonn
was studying to become mission
airy, his hearts desire. Mary, whose
lovely voice had attracted a famous
singer, was in Paris at the prima
donna's home, training for a. con-
cert career. Frank had taken a cut,
of course, hut they were SO much
better off than many of Their neigh
bors who had lost their jobs.

her life and Franks, her story be-
spoke companionship, mutual con-

of cheap movies occasionally,
of the bouyancy OF life with
the children.
When some one expressed sur
prise that Mary played an expert
game Of bridge, she explained with
an easy laugh that the children
often dragged her away from her
mending to make a fourth; when
some, one marveled that she had
read so many of the new books, she
said vaively that the family always
read aloud, which was splendid Tor
her as her life was busy one.
Comradeship, Shappiness, content
ment breathed in everything she
mentioned.

luncheon was served, the stems of
the grape fruit glasses would be
the delicate green of the orchid
stems and the yellow skin of the
fruit would be surrounded by or

Gliding into the room with the
languid air of the perfectly poised
matron, Mrs Morris examined the
table and it's appointments critic
ally and with a pleasant nod of
approval in Downs direction turned
toward the door leading to the
stairs.

She'll probably be the last to ar

Serve the birthday cake, with the
candles lighted at tea time. Mrs

Downs nodded without comment.
To speak would mean he had not
entirely understood. Downs never
repeated instructions.
Impulsively, for her, Mrs Nor
ris turned to the butler a face that
suddenly glowed with warmth.

Vile has six children. Six, think
of it!' A long softly released sigh
waited back to the impeccable
Downs as she left the room.
"well, spring your surprise,
Kara. We're all here" Nina Har-
grave said.
Six perfectly groomed matrons
gathered about their hostess with
something like interest showing in
their carefully massaged faces.
Nina, slim and reedy, moved out OF

light betrayed the tint of her hair.

"Cross Country Cruise with Lew
Ayres and June Knight. Put 20
people, of widely differing tenn

versal comedy-drama which is now

old gentleman who is continually
irked by a steady flow of comment
from a voluble fat man. A ro-
nance develops between Lew Ayres

rious males, and the seed of jeal-
ousy flowers into a tragedy which
fills the later portion of the story
with thrilling moments. The pic

White, includes Alan Dinehart,

In The Local ThenterS
PALACE

Two outstanding features have
been selected to open at Polls
starting tomorrow for a three day
engagement, one is entitled Il Am
Suzanne" starring Lillian Harvey
in a picture that Is novel. unique,
fascinating and SO different. A ro-
nance of youthful, human hearts
enhanced and enlived by the world
famous Podrecca Piccoli Marion
cites, by gorgeous stage spectacles
and by unforgettable music. Never
in America and most certainly not
in Europe has such novelty been
attempted in one production.
The film offers something new, in
that it's background is found in the
unique setting of a puppet show.
In direct contrast to the tiny pup
pet show there are three spectacu-
lar revue numbers that form the
major part of the film. The three
song numbers, EST Moritz Waltz,
Just a Little Carrot" and "Eski-o-
lay -omo", all taken from the re-
vues, have already proved popular
with the public.
Gene Raymond has the leading
masculine role opposite Miss Har-
vey. The carefully selected cast
boasts of such names as Leslie
Banks, Georgia Caine, Geneve' Nit
chell, Halliwell Hobbies, Murray
Kinnell and Edward Keane.
The other selected feature Is
Goodbye Love" starring Charlie
Ruggles and supported by Phyllis
Barry, Verree Teasdale, Mayo Met
hot and Sidney B1ackmer provide
the hilarity in just such roles.
AS Groggs, Ruggles is a discreet
butler with playboy instincts who
decides to take a vacation in At
lantic City with money borrowed
from his employer. Posing. as a big
game hunter, he develops into prey
for Phyllis, prize gold digger. Ac-
cepting Phyllis at face value,
Groggs is soon completely bagged,
but back home once again just in
time to see the wedding of Phyllis
and his master.
