By Paul Harrison

Most directors are pretty nerv- ous guys during film making. (They might get fired if the picture is rot- ten.) John Ford is a handkerchief puller. He wears out seven or so on a picture-pulling 'em between his teeth. Eddie Sutherland is a paper clip bitter. He carries 'em around in his pockets. Irving Cum mings takes off his tie, rolls up his sleeves, and looks like a guy about to make out his income tax.
 
 Screen censors are at work again. The Will Hays office has just ban- ned the phrase bumped off," Oth- CT taboos are being matched. A doz- en or more oldtime pictures are be- ing shown at Hollywood theaters. They range all the way from the pre-war Hearts of the World" starring the Sisters Gish, to "Hell's Angels" the flicker that put Jean Harlow on the cinema map.

ed byb Warner Bros, and 1t is said by those who have seen the pre- view to be the most pretentious piece of entertainment ever att tempted in Hollywood.
 The novel, which took Hervey Allen four years to write, was finally whipped into its finished screen form after more than two years of arduous labor on the part of nearly 5000 technicians, in addition to more than 2,500 players who portray the many characters seen in the film. <.
 In dynamic action, intense dra- ma, glamorous romance and thrilling adventure, probably no story was ever better fitted for screen material. And Warner Bros. are said to have caught all the vividness, the fire and color of the original and to have transmitted it to the film.
 The cast is Q tremendous one in size and remarkable for the number of talented players there being Ifinety eight speak ing parts, with 2,550 bit play CTS and extras appearing. During the engagement of "An- thony Adverse, only, admission prices will be matinee 30 cents, eve nings 35 and 50 cents. Evening prices will prevail after 3 p. m. on Saturday and all day Sunday. NO children's 10 cent tickets will be sold after 3 D. m. on Saturday.

MOUieS Playing
 To-day
POLI'S


 Tonight is the "big night" at Polls, the event that all of Water bury has been awaiting, and their anticipations will be fulfilled to the limit at the initial offering of Giant Screeno."
 On the screen, now current, is Q marvellous double feature made up of a tuneful fllmusical, "Sing Baby Sing, in which are featured Patsy Kelly, Alice Faye, Ted Healy, Greg ory Ratoff, Michael Whalen and a host of other stars all tending to make this film treat that will be long remembered.
 The co-feature on the same pro- gram is "Shakedown" a dramatic film with the theme about the ruina- ton of reputation racket as its theme.
 Starting Saturday another great hit, following the sensational en- gagement of "The Great ziegfeld" which picture broke all box-oflce and attendance and length of stay records in town. It will be followed by Joan Crawford and Robert Tay- Tor in "The Gorgeous Hussy."
 "The Gorgeous Hussy" is the tale of tempestuous Peggy O'Neal, who threw Washington into an uproar, and is taken from the great histor- ical novel of the same name by Sam uel Hopkins Adams.
 If Crawford and Taylor alone were in a film it would be enough for most theater -goers, but M-G-M the worlds leading producers of films, have surrounded this talented and popular duo with cast that reads like the who's who" of t1lm- dom. Imagine seeing among many other, and the two above stars, Franchot Tone, Lionel Barrymore, Melvyn Douglas, James Stewart and others.
 Charming and romantic, the story of "The Gorgeous Hussy" is also fraught with action-packed inter- ludes. Among the highlights are a night scene in which Robert Taylor and Melvyn Douglas battle face-to- face with a street mob to save Miss Crawford from destruction melted by a Washington mob.
 Another thrilling moment is the assassination of Douglas by the vile lainous Louis Calhern and his duel, in turn, with James Stewart.

 "Figures in my files show that i've years ago, of every 5000 people who came to the studio for work, only 100 or less applied for jobs other than acting. Last week I interviewed at least 300 people. Every one of them wanted @ non-acting job." Reason, according to MT. Hendry: Acting 1ohs don't last long enough"

It's Friday, 18th,
Lucky or Unlucky

Today was Friday, the 18th, one
of the only two such days of the
calendar year 1896, with all of Its
attendant tradition about luck or
lack of it. 1t is too late tonight to
warn of the superstition, but it was
Friday, the 18th, just the same. If
you've had good luck, charge it up
to Friday, the 18th. If you have
met with misfortune, charge it up
to the same situation, If you like.
1t makes no difference; there's
nothing to the old gag, anyhow
just myth, and something else to
poke fun about.
The only other Friday, the 18th
of the calendar year 1886 will be in
November.
