 In the supporting roles, Fay Wray and James Blakely turn in interesting performances. Miss "Idy lOoho AoNOAy anu Ao AOL AoNstA competent self. As the labor agi- tator. Victor Jory is excellent. He gives a realistic and skilful por- trayal of a difficult character for which he deserves the greatest praise. Raymond Walburn, for mer New York stage star, is equal ly as good as the arrogant son.
 The direction by Roy William Neill Is above par. He has sought the mood and spirit of the time in his exciting brisk-paced production, lending vividness and conviction to the gripping story.
 Briefly, Mills of the Gods" tells the tale of large industrial plant caught in the grip of the depres- sion. Miss Robson as the retired head of the mills, calls in her worthless brood of children to help tide the business over it's trying period. Instead of aiding their desperate mother, they blunder into Ia situation of labor riots and threats of violence. The climax caps a vivid, unforgettable enter tainment which everyone should see.

GARDEN

Harry stephen Keeler's thrilling mystery story, comes to the screen of the Garden theater yesterday and will continue to play today tomorrow under the intriguing title of "The Mysterious MT Wong."
 The new Monogram film stars Bella Lugosi and features Wallace Ford and Airline Judge in lighter romantic roles. It is the thrilling yet comic story of a sinister search for 12 Chinese coins which are sup posed to carry with them the sole ownership of the Manchurian prov ince of Keelat.
 BeIa Lugosi, as usual, gives an outstanding performance in the title role, although the part of Chinaman is new one for the famous Hungarian star.
 Wallace Ford and Airline Judge are more than adequate in the lighter moments of the story. Ford plays his conventional role as a wise-cracking newspaper reporter, while Miss Judge is the gum chewing newspaper switchboard operator.
 The companion feature is ''Texas Terror" starring John Wayne. A selected comedy and newsreel con- clude the program.

POET SPEAKS ON
 FUTURE THEATER
Lauds Spirit of Little The- ater Movement in
 Forum Address

The spirit of the theater will never die and the Little Theater movement is keeping the spirit alive, declared George Cronyn, poet, novelist and playwright, in an addres on 'The Theater of the Future" at the forum of the Sec ond Congregational church last night.
 The speaker said the stage is too vital to die; 1t will flourish in new form; its hope ies mainly in the Little Theater movement. The the ater has suffered from the econ omicsituation, but most of all it has been affected by competition o1 the films.
 MT Cronyn said the film compe. tition has been met partly by the building up of loyal, amateur the. aters by the people themselves who want to act and to see acting These theatrical groups are mak- ing 1t possible to present we'll known plays and are developing many new plays which often find their way to New York.

Throngs which attested to the fact that the most popular of the atrical stars, either of the stage or screen was in town, man who the theater-goers of the country less than a short month ago again elected as the "King" of the films. Will Rogers, back again at Polls in his latest film success "The County Chairman" a worthy sue cessor to Judge Priest, had the spacious Poli theater, New Eng lands largest theater packed to the rafters, both Saturday and Sunday, and from all appearances standing room will be in effect while this star is in town.
 If this were the only attraction but when the patrons of this pop ular theater got inside there was also a second feature which rival ed the first in entertainment "The Night Is Young" a musical gem If there ever was one with the tantaziling strains of Sigmund Romberg and Arthur Hammer stein swinging through it and the romantic singing of Ramon No- varro and Evelyn Lave, the youth full romantic interest of the piece, there was also hilarious comedy injected by that master fon-mak- CT Charles Butterworth and he was capably assisted by Edward Everett Horton and Una Merkel.
 Then another feature on this program was the New England premiere of your favorite radio subject "The March Of Timev which In accordance to the request of thousands of. its radio listeners has been brought to the screen and in the same manner it is pre- scented that had lot to do with making 1t the great success that 1t is on the air ;. here Is some thing that is as entertaining and interesting as life itself.
 This program will continue un- til Tuesday night
 Starting Wednesday there will be another typical Poli double feature program. This weeks at- fractions are both in the hit class the first feature being "Anne >of Green Gables" and the co-feature Is "The Winning Ticket"
 Wednesday night only another of the popular Radio Amateur Nights and Harry Shaw, the in- imitable M. c. promises new and better performers and outstand- ing guest stars. Make it your habit to become a regular Wed- nesday evening patron of Polfs and you will have the time of your life, great stage show and al- ways the best of double feature programs.
