WILL ROGERS IN POLL HEADLINER
Judge Priest Rated Best Picture of C0niical
 Cinema Star

Will Rogers, America's most popular male star as attested by the polls that have been taken up for the past years and in which none of the other male stars have even come near, is the featured artist in Judge Priest" current film at Poli's and which will con- tinue until Tuesday night.
 Here is a picture with the ten- derness of "State Fair", the merri- ment of "IIandy Andy" and the humanness of David Harum" and what Will Rogers will do to the citizens of Waterbury and vicinity in this picture will be a caution. Here is, without a doubt, the greatest picture of this popular star and that is saying something when the films above mentioned are taken into consideration.
 As the judge" who tempers his justice with kindness and who runs his court as he wishes it to run, here is the greatest characteriza- tion of this sterling performer. Ordinarily when a big star snakes a picture the supporting cast is sighted, but not in Judge Priest" He is the imposing array of talents that marched before the cameras and you will have to agree that there is class to this group. Tom Brown, as the son; Anita Louise, Rochelle Hudson, Henry B. Walthall, David Landau and last
 but never the least in any picture that he is in Stepin Fetchit. Put them all together then add Will Rogers and you have sterling entertainment.
 But when story is written by Irwin Cobb, that is another angle that must be considered. That is the double assurance of all that is great.
 The supporting program is made up of an "Our Gang" comedy, a colored cartoon, a Pete Smith odd ity and other of the pleasing va- riety that have made Polls famous for it's good balanced shows.
 october Picture Harvest" opens at Poli's with this picture and that means that programs that will long be remembered will be on tap dur ing the entire month of October.

STRAND SHOWING
 DOUBLE FEATURE
"Chained'' and Pursued Offered Theater G0ers
 Beginning Sunday

The co-stArring appearance of
 Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in | a photoplay is always an occasion | for dancing in the streets so far
 as film fans are concerned. The | countless admirers of this mag
 netic duo will not be let down in | their latest picture, Chained" | which begins a three day run at
 the Warner Strand theater tomor-
 row, for the picture is by far the best in which either the vivid Miss Crawford or Gable has appeared,
 and furnishes sparkling entertain
 ment from its opening reel to its
 final fadeout.
 Based on an original story by
 Edgar Selwyn, the narrative of
 Chained" concerns itself with a
 girl who by force of circumstances is tied to one man but loves an-
 other. The various romantic and
 sometimes tragic interludes through which the girl passes be- fore she is able to find release from her bondage make for a story which holds it full measure of lightning like action, suspense and dramatic power. It is obvious that the story was especially written for
 Miss Crawford and Gable for 1t Is skillfully designed to give each the sort of role in which the respec- tive stars have proved them-
 selves outstanding in the past. Excellent support is given the
 stars by a reliable cast which in-
 cludes Otto Kruger in the role
 next prominent to Gables, the Lamusing. Stuart Erwin, Una O'Con-
 nor, who will be remembered as
 the Cockney servant in "Caval-
 cade," and Marjorie Gateson of the l New York stage.
 The companion feature will be I Pursued" starring Rosemary Ames with Victor Jory. Wednes- day brings Ann Harding in "The Fountain" and Richard Cromwell in Among The Missing, while on Friday and Saturday the Strand
 will offer Robert Montgomery with
 Maureen O'Sullivan in "Hide-Ou

He wrote 1t il years ago, and, after turning the verse into chorus and throwing away the verse, he had Adele Astaire introduce 1t in "Lady Be Good" It lasted . week.

 BILLED AT STATE
FOur=Day Attraction Open= ing To-day Filled With
 Breezy Acting

Stirring romance in the golden | palaces of the ultra a-rich, some de- | lightfully sugar-coated philosophy
 and dash of sparkling comedy are skilfully mixed in "The Rich-
 est Girl in the World" a breezy entertainment at the Warner
 Brothers State theater for four days starting to-day. The dashing, modern, little char acter-"The Richest Girl in the World"-is in the capable hands of Miriam Hopkins, still the lovely blonde star. Her light comedy touches are splendid, her dramatic
 moods are fascinating, and her beauty is nothing short of bewitch- ing. No wonder she dazzles the
 handsome Joel McCrea, who plays the male lead! Other superb per- formances are those by Fay Wray, Henry Stephenson and Reginald Denny.
 The story of "The Richest Girl in the World deals with moneys in-
 ability to buy true love, with Mir fam as the protagonist. Realizing that her uncounted millions form
 an impossible barried between her
 and love, she exchanges identities with her secretary-c and starts to capture McCrea. Mir
 iam's charm attracts McCren; but
 so does her secretary's alleged l wealth.
 When McCrea proposes to the
 bogus richest girl in the world' l and is accepted, surprising compli-
 cations arise, leading to a highly
 diyerting denouement. {, All makes | one of the more brilliant enter | tainments the silver screen is off,
 ering this season.
 "The Richest Girl in the World" | naturally moves against sumptuous backgrounds, such as Long Island
 mansion, an Adirondack lodge, a
 transatlantic steamer, a fashion

 Fashions run rampant, too, with enough new styles worn by Miss Hopkins and Miss Wray to gladden.

BIG TEN GRID RULE
HURTS MINNESOTA
College Game Careers of
Kostka, Other Players
Probably Ended.

BY the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, December 4.-The
l college foot ball careers of five
\ Minnesota stalWarts probably
will be ended or shortened by
the time the Western Conference
Faculty Committee on Athletics finishes
its deliberations this week end.
The question of eligibility of stanis-
laus Kostka, pile-driving fullback; Bill
Bevan, star guard; Art Clarkson,
George Svendsen and Jab Bevan is the
most important item of business on the
program of the faculty members.
Coaches of all sports and athletic
directors also will be in Chicago Friday
and Saturday for the annual Winter
meeting. during which schedules will
be framed and other routine business
looked after.
Under a Big Ten rule which says
competition on freshman teams counts
as a year of collegiate competition.
Kostka and Bevan probably have
played their last foot ball for Mime
sofa. Although they rank as juniors,
both attended the University of Oregon
and played on freshman teams. Kostka
played a year Cf varsity foot ball at
Oregon and another at Minnesota,
rounding out his three years of eligi-
bility unless the freshman angle of the
rule is amended
Bevan has played two years at Min
nesota in addition to his yearling COM
petition at Oregon. Clarkson competed
as a freshman at Oregon and had one
year on the Minnesota varsity. giving
him one more year on Bernie Bier
mans eleven Jay Bevan and Svend-
sen are in the same boat as Kostka
and Bill Bevan. 1t is expected that the
Faculty Committee will reafirm the
freshman competition rule.

some faint idea of the camembert

I doubt if ever before in Washing

so bad. The fans booed and razzed,
sang and whiStled the Merry Widow
Waltz" in unison, and goaded and
pied for action. All of their efforts
were futile. Finally they walked out
when it became obvious that Sherman
and Hughes were to be allowed to
finish.
And at the finish of a fight
in which the hardest punch
thrown on either side wouldn't
