 Wednesday

For two days beginning Tuesday, March goth, the Manhattan Play CTS directed by Frank Lyon will present Fair and Warmer" at the Waterbury Women's club on Gen. tral avenue. On Wednesday there will be a special matinee. This splendid farce comedy was written by Avery Hopwood, author of "Why Men Leave Home" and other popular plays.
 The Manhattan Players have been presenting their plays on Monday and Tuesday, but feel that Tuesday and Wednesday are better days and will continue with this new schedule until further notice.
 "Fair and Warmer" is a play re- plete with laughter, and is a su- perb blending of all the elements of fine entertainment, making this comedy the most enjoyable of Broadway stage hits. Two hus- bands, two wives and their misun- derstood advice to each other forms the background about which the play is written. Complications arise that take all of three acts to unravel and the audience is kept in a series of uproarious laughter until things finally straighten them selves out
 Frank Lyon is very much pleas

|'0UEEN CHRISTINA
 OPENS AT STRAND
Four Day Engagement of Greta GarbO's New PiC=
 ture Starts Tomorrow

"Queen Christina" starlrng the
 exotic Greta Garbo, heads the double feature program that be- gins a four day engagement at Warmers Strand tomorrow. It pre- sents a Garbo more beautiful and more alluring than ever seen in her previous pictures, possibly be- cause the making of this picture has been Garbo's dream for many years.
 Also it returns to screen popu- larity one of the most dashing of all screen lovers in possibly the finest performance of his long and spectacular picture life.
 Not only has the picture excel lent performances by a dozen or more seasoned and talented play CTS, but "Queen Christina" brings to the screen many of the most beautiful camera settings seen re- gently in any photoplay. The cos-
 tuning, likewise, is revealed as one of the most thorough and col full tasks ever injected into any picture project.
 The story of the Seventeenth Century queen with Twentieth Century ideas is Garpo's most thrilling vehicle. It affords her an
 ultra-alluring characterization ith
 the kind of regal costumes and background elegance infwhich she appears to great advantage. It is the story Garbo has wanted to make since she began her film career-the only story, perhaps, that could bring her back to the screen from her two years virtual retirement in the seclusion of her Stockholm home.
 Appearing in supporting roles is a cast of unusual impressiveness.
 Ian Keith gives we'll thought out portrayal of the jealous Magnus who is displaced in the affections
 of the Queen by Gilbert; Lewis Stone adds another fine perofrm- | ance to his long list of commend able achievements as the sage Counsellor Oxenstierna; Elizabeth Young, newcomer, has the only | other important feminine role in the picture and reveals a latent | talent; and c. Aubrey Smith is | excellent as the queens bodyguard S. N. Behrman's dialogue is al
 ways simple and direct, and the
 matchless direction of Reuben | Mamoulian makes this picture
 one that will stand out in the
 memory of filmgoers for months tc | come.
 The companion feature presents those mad-maniacs of mirth

Your Frightened People, | Heads Bill Beginning ! Sunday

The superb showmanship of Cecil B. DeMille is one more made mani Fest in his latest Paramount pic Nure, -Four Frightened People, which is playing the New Garden kheater Sunday and Monday. This picture, which repeats the success of his memorable Male and Fe- male" of several years ago, is one of the most colorful pieces of screen entertainment that it has been our pleasure to see for many . month. Against a. background of the most amazing jungle scenery ever brought to the screen, the story details the adventures of four highly cultured people, two women md two men, who are forced to iescaDe from Dutch steamer when bub0nic plague breaks out. Lost for months in Malay jungle. they turn to primitive manners and habits. The transformation of a prim little school teacher into a beautiful jungle creature over whom the men fight provides some highly novel situations. This latter role played by Claudette Colbert is the most outstanding achievement of her career and more than 1ust1- fies her elevation to stardom. Her bert Marshall and William Gargan
 in contrasting roles, enhance the story with finley drawn portrayals
 No funnier situation was ever de- vised for the screen than the nlacing of the dignified Mary Bo- land in primitive surroundings. This aplendid comedienne made a tre- nnendous hit with last nights audi ence. Leo Carrillo, in the role o1 M. hlf-cast guide, proves his versa .Aility with this newest characterlza- tion in his long screen repertoire

LEW AIRES TOPS
 CAPITOL COMEDY
"CrOss Country Cruise Heads Double Feature
 on Tomorrow

Lew Ayres' father was trying to keep him away from women, but only succeeded in catapulting him into the greatest romance of his career.
 This is what happens in Gross Country Cruise,' UniversaPs fast moving comedy-drama which takes the audience or the transcontin- ental trip of a great passenger bus, and which is coming to the Capitol theater tomorrow.
 Ayres, in the custody of burly superintendent, is being sent from New York City to a lumber camp owned by his father in California but he catches sight of pretty face while on the way to the railroad station, and his predatory instincts come to the surface. He learns that the girl is making the trip on a bus, so without further ado he induces his friendly guard to go on the self same bus. It will be a much better way to see the country!
 But he does not know that the girl is clipping" with a married man, nor that this mans suspicious wife will insist on accompanying her spouse. Rollicking fun and ticklish situations give way to trag- cdy as the bus proceeds on its way across the continent, but the ripen- ing romance of Ayres and Miss Knight keeps pace with the speed of the flying bus.
 The co-feature is Miss Fane's Baby Is Stolen" starring Dor athea Wieck and Alice Brady. It tells in staccatto fashion, the torture and anguish that comes to a mother when her baby has been | Kidnapped. --- Trembling with fear and terror, | she enlists the aid of every known branch of the law to help bring his safe return.
 After an appeal to the nations mothers, her child is found through the sacrifice and un- selfshness of a poverty stricken farmers wife
