Premiere to Occur We'd nesday Night = Adap=
 tatiOn of Cobb Novel

The eyes and ears of all Broad way will be turned to the Shubert Theater, New Haven, for the four days commencing Wednesday even- ing, September 18th. For there the first important event of the new theater season will take place when Arthur Hopkins presents Paths of Glory, adapted by Sidney Howard from the famous Humphrey Cobb novel.
 The combination of MT. Hopkins. MT. Howard and Mr.. Cobb, with what they stand for in the world of the theater and in the world of let ters casting an aura of importance about anything they touch, is such an imposing combination that, New Haven may well be proud to have been chosen to see this play first. Seldom has there been a novel ! which took the book world by storm in the manner Paths of Glory, took that world. It was a best seller the first week it was printed, and has remained so throughout the summer. And not only is its history as book unus- ual, but it's speedy arrival on a stage within four months of its publishing date is highly unusual. Obviously, there was excitement in back of this production. MT. How ard admits figuratively jumping at I the dramatization the moment he finished reading the novel. MT. Hopkins admits his fingers itched | for actors as soon as MT. Howard delivered the first draft of his adap- tation.
 In the cast of Paths of Glory" are William Harrigan, Jack Rose leigh, Cyril Scott, Lee Baker, Myron Mccormick, Jerome Cowan; George Tobias, Roland Drew, Harold Moi fet, Richard Ross, Edgar Barrier. Nicholas Harlow, Ranney Compton, Leonard Penn, Jack Daniels, Roger | Quinlan, Herschel Chopper, David Leonard, Bernard Kisner, Norman Stuart, Carl Frank, Jack Davis, Guy Repp, Edward J.

 The literary critics. to a man, were outspoken in their enthusiasm for the novel. John Chamberlain in the New York Times said:
 "'Paths of Glory is magnifi- cent novel any way you take it. For sheer unadulterated war realism, it beats Remarque's All Quiet or the still untranslated work of a Span ish writer, Ramon Sender. who has brutally described a soldiers reactions to the warfare in the Riff. As a commentary on the nature of justice in a world of fallible human beings, it challenges comparison
 with Arnold Zweig's Sergeant Grischa.' It yields to no modern novel in its profound exploration of

"The Nitwits" vs. the masked terror. the Black Widow, is the main event at the Carroll theater starting tomorrow. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey are the con- tenders for the sleuthing title in this comedy bout in seven reels said to end in a knockout laugh.
 A title like "The Nitwits" can only suggest the screens nitwit- tiest stars-Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. For them, "The Nitwits" is an innovation. They have abundant opportunity to ex- ercise their inimitable comic tall ents while they solve baffling murder mystery and extortion plot.

As tightly plotted as pulp pa per fiction, 1t is still absolutely credible as human psychology. And what commentary it offers on the pattern called a war! Paths. of Glory ought to be read by every literate man, woman and child in America, both for it's exciting vir- tues as a novel and for its plain warning that courses that result in war aren't worth pursuing ."
 Mir. Hopkins is one of the the atre's most eminent producers, noted for his productions of Anna Christie" "The Hairy Ape", John Barrymore in "Hamlet~ What Price Glory" Paris Bound, "The Old Soak" "On Trial" and "Holi- day."

Strand Theater Offers Double -"The
 Irish in Us" on Bill

Two great feature pictures make up the. program to be presented at Warner Bros. Strand theater start ing tomorrow.
 Headlining it is Shanghai, an intensely dramatic and gripping tale of the orient, starring Loretta Young and Charles Boyer.
 Scrupulous in it's detail, alive with the authentic color and sound of Shanghai, the picture tells the tale of Boyer, who struggles from the bottom to the top of Shang- hai's financial heap only to throw away everything he has won for the sake of love.
 Boyer's masterful performance is the best of his recent series of sensational appearances, and Lo- retta Young is well matched to him throughout. In the support ing cast of Shanghai" which was produced by Walter Wanger, are Warner Oland, Alison Skipworth and Fred Heating who carry out the supporting roles in uniformly
