RlOTOUS COMEDY
 TOPS STATE BILL
Joe E. Browns Latest Hit, "6-Day Bike Rider''
 Begins To-day

Joe E. Browns newest comedy hit, "Six Day Bike Rider, comes to Warmers State theater today
 healining another mighty double
 feature entertainment that will be
 the talk of the town and show everyone will want to see. The picture is not only lnroariously funny but presents some of the
 biggest thrills ever shown on the screen.
 The thrills come in the big cli-
 max of the picture, an actual bicycle race In which there are spills aplenty. In one sequence
 alone, sixteen of the twenty-four professional riders who take part in the race, pile up in crash that takes Qneis berth. No actual con- test could be more thrilling to watch than this race which was staged especially for the Joe E. Brown comedy.
 Joe F. never had a role that was more adaptable to his par ticular line Of fun making than this one, and he makes the most of 1t. He works smile or a hearty
 laugh into practically every scene. Joe is first seen as pornpous, c0nceited. small town youth who is quite sure the world is his oyster. When his girl shows preference
 for a professional bicycle rider from the city, he raises such a rue ton that he loses his job and gets into disgrace with the entire pop
 ulation. So he sets off with his pal for the big city to enter the great
 bicycle race in order to show the
 home town folk what a big fellow
 he really is.
 After getting into all kinds of trouble in the city. including a battle with his rival in a hotel. which lands him in jail, he finally gets out in time to start with his teatnmate in the six day bike race. This he wins on a series of the most ridiculous fiukes and rides triumphantly around the track to the cheers of the throngs. Maxine Doyle, a comparatively newcomer to the screen, has the romantic lead opposite Joe and gives splendid account of her self. She is not only beautiful to look at but possesses real talent that should take her far in the movies.
 There is strong cast of taI-
 ented comedy characters playing
 in support of Joe. Frank McHugh is particularly good as Joe's pal
 who rides in the race with him and
 gets inte any number of jams.
 Gordon Westcott is the "city
 slicker" who tries to steal Jos's
 girl, but is defeated in the end as
 comedy villains usually are, and
 gives a most hilarious perform
 ance.
 The companion feature presents
 Barbara Stanwyck in the Villa
 Gather novel "A Lost Lady" Miss
 Stanwyck has an excellent support
 ing cast including Ricardo Cortez,
 Frank Morgan and Lyle Talbot.

The Strands all new show start ing tomorrow will be headlined by Paramount's hit Now And For ever"
 Romantic Gary Cooper. Carole Temple are the three who play out this tale of reckless young inter national crook, his light of love and the child who changes the whole course of their gay lives.
 It manages to make the becurled and bright-eyed Shirley even more irresistible than she was in Little Miss Marker, the picture that made her the greatest child sensa- tion. One of the highlights of the new film is the scene where she sings "The Grasshopper and the Frog" hopping about to show how the big, bad froggie goes.

 Cooper plays shirley's father, reunited with her for the first time since her infancy. While the tWO are uVuseSueStS Witn CafOie Lombard at the Paris home of a wealthy English woman (Char- lotte Granville) the hostess' jewels are stolen and police irivestiga- ton results. Shirley discovers her daddy is the thief and is heart broken.
 Cooper has given the jewels into the keeping of suave confidence man. Shamed by his daughters tears, he regains and restores them and wins back the young ster's faith in stirring climax.
 In ''N6w and Forever" Shirley Temple strengthens her position as the new sweetheart of the motion picture public, and Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard give dramatic performances that should increase their fans by the thou sands.

|NAUCATUCK BOY
 STARRED AT POLI'S
Robert Donat Heads Iiil- pressive Cast in The
 Count of Monte CfistO'

"The Count of Monte Cristo, |" Alexander Dumas immortal clasA sic, has been brought to the screen for the first time as an all talking picture and what a thrill for Wa terburians to have as the leading player in the title role a young ster from Naugatuck, Robert Donat, who went to England to be able to show American producers how good he was. When he did show them, all the critics on this side of the water have been giy- ing this picture great publicity.
 His first American appearance after he had made name for himself over there was with Charles Laughton in Private Life of Henry VIII" Then he was be- seiged with offers to make a film over here. United Artists finally secured his contract and the one film he has made has resulted in a scramble among the American producers to have him make more, but prior contracts executed in Great Britain made his return im- perative as he starts right way to work in a picture in which he will be co-starred with John Barrymore.
 Already "The Count of Monte Cristo" is being proclaimed as the Academy award winner for his year and Donat is assured of all contracts he cares to enter into. This picture was made in Holly wood and boasts of an impressive cast headlined fin the female role by Elissa Landi.
 Waterbury should turn out en- masse for this gala occasion. On the same program there will be the usual carefully selected program of short subjects that have become known as a part of the Poli programs and this one should be no exception.
 An announcement of more than passing interest to all Waterbur- ians is made by Manager Edward Fitzpatrick and that is that for four days starting next Saturday he has secured Barney Rapp and His New Englanders in addition to a sterling screen program.
