STRAND

Over four years in the making and a picture that combines mag nifence, sheer spectacle and breath taking action, "rhe Lives of a Ben- gal Lancer" heads the marvellous double feature program to be seen at Warner Brothers Strand theater to-day, tomorrow and Wednesday. Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Richard Cromwell and Sir Guy Standing head the cast of the pic- ture as officers of this colorful regiment. The drama arises from the conflict between Sir Guy Stand ing, who plays a crusty, hard shelled colonel, and his subor- dinate officers.
 Cooper and Tone adopt Crom- well, the colonel's impulsive son, as their special charge. When he becomes involved with a Russian girl and is carried off by q neigh boring chieftain, Cooper an dTope follow, although the colonel re- fuses to go to his sons rescue.
 They, too, are captured and the chieftainn employs torture to wiring the secret of an enormous ammu- nition convoy from Cromwell. The crieftain captures tife ammunition and the Lancers, although they face certain destruction, prepare to attack in order to check the re- volt which will follow.
 At this crucial moment Cooper hits upon a plan, and first swear. ing the boy to secrecy on his own shameful betrayal, goes out to blow the fort to smithereens and save the Lancers.
 The companion feature is Char lie Chan in Paris" starring Warner Oland. An exciting Charlie Chahn mystery. Thursday next brings Rudy Vallee in Sweet Music" and Murder on a Honeymoon" with James Gleason and Edna May Oli- yer. Starting Saturday Silly Symphony Cartoon" will be added to the program.

 Tomorrow brings ln all new dou- ble feature picture program head lined by Columbia's marvellous suc- cessor to "One Night of Love-" Its title is Lets Live Tonight" and stars beautiful Lillian Harvey and handsome Tullio Carminati. famous continental stars. It tells the story of an eager young Aemrican girl, sum. .,ering in Monte Carlo, who falls in love with a man she be- ueves to be poor but honest gi- golo. A rather poignant theme de- velops when she discovers that he is a wealthy, debonair man-of-the- wohld proferring to love often but not too strongly. Disheartened, she encourages younger and more romantic suitor, only to find that he is the brother of her desired Don Juan.
 Lillian Harvey Is the girl seeking romance on the Riviera. It is. by her own admission, the finest role she has had to date, which is no mean hattery considering her re- cent success in II Am Suzanne" and My Weakness" Tullio Car minati, of course, is the suave and polished lover, with Hugh Williams as the younger brother.
 Two beautiful neW songs are in. troduced by Miss Harvey and Car. minati in the picture. The com. panion feature will be "McFad- den's Flats" the comedy riot of the year. Walter c. Kelly, famous stage star, Andy Clyde. Betty Fur ness and Richard Cromwell are featured In the cast. It is typical Amer ican home-spun comedy and a barrage of laughs from start to finish as these Irish and Scotch feudists carry on their battle of wits.

Mary Roland. zasu Pitts and Roland Young appear in It's giant cast. The. companion feature will present Jack Holt In The Unwel. come Stranger"

What's Judge 10 Do?

UPPER RO, Nd,
Sept. 28.-Lewis CAROLS fantasy
about the trial Of the pig had
a counterpart in the Prince
Georges County police court here
yesterday.
Sidney Swami was charged by
a neighbor with stealing corn and
then a duck to eat the corn. Ed
gar P. Hamilton, of Mitchellville,
made the charge. Judge George
Merrick dismissed the charge of
theft because:
Neither Mr.. Hamilton nor the
police could produce any evidence
of the thefts. The corn had dis
appeared and the duck had been
dead for a year.
So had Carroll'S pig, when the
poets judge demanded the pris-
oner be brought before him for
