Promising Pictures Feature Programs OF LocaL 7heates
FRED ASTARE IN
 NEW STRAND FILM
Follow the Fleet" Begins Sunday With Good COnl-
 paniOn Feature

Current attractions at Warner Brothers Strand theatre include Desire" with Gary Cooper ant Marlene Dietrich and Boulder Dam" with Ross Alexander anc Patricia Ellis.
 Sunday brings Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Follow the Fleet.
 That old Rajah of Ragtime, Irving Berlin, has written seven new songs to test the vocal ex- cellencies of Astaire, Miss Rog- CTS, and a newcomer to the screen, the lovely Harriet Hilliard and to provide the rhythms for the tantalizing toes of the King and Queen of Terpsichore in the new RKO Radio screen show.
 Follow the Fleet" is real down to earth musical, employ ing a logical and meaty story, every day habiliments for the players, and a battleship, @ freighter, and the colorful city of San Francisco for realistic back grounds.
 The story is based on the TO- mantle adventures of @ pair of Uncle San's "bluejackets", Fred As- taire and Randolph Scott ashore. The objects of theiy affections are Ginger Rogers, who is night club entertainer, and Harriet Hilliard, 8 school teacher, whose romantic na- ture responds to the call of love for the first time.
 Astaire and Rogers dance to- gether three times, each routine striking 8 different mood and tempo and each dance introduce ing new acrobatics to the curricu- lun of terpsichore. Finger ap- pears in her first solo dance in this picture, and Fred Astaire does 8 seven minute tap routine supplemented by 24 sailors, which is the novelty highlight of the film.
 The companion feature is to be "Muss Elm Up" starring Preston Foster and Margaret Callahan.
 Based on James Edward Grants exciting novel "The Green Shadow the picture deals with a series of strange happenings in the home of a wealthy banker, and with the ef- forts of Foster as the detective hero to solve the riddle and find the guilty person.
 Deductive methods, which are frenlief1tlv employed bY actual de. tectives but seldom are revealed in pictures, are used to deterpine the identity of the criminal.
 Alan Mowbray, Ralph Morgan, Molly Lamont and Big Boy" Will Hams head the supporting cast.
 "The Ghost Goes West" and Zane Grey's Nevada" are booked to open at the Strand next Thurs day.

 Hollywood-Some impressive five and six-figure sums are batted back and forth in studio story confer- ences, and these are not at all in accord with the general low esteem in which authors are supposed to be held by the movie industry.
 Amounts up to $250,000 have been mentioned in private conversations between the Brothers Warner and representatives of Samuel Glodwyn in regard to a comedy trifie called '"Three Men on Horse"
 By "trihe" I do not mean to minimize the box office importance of the play, which is funny enough play, but one of very slight dramatic stature.
 Goldwyn has wanted the comedy for Eddie Cantor. Cantor wants It. too, because 1t is earmarked as Q natural" Cantor picture. But War; ners own the screen rights to the phenomenal stage hit, and they won't sell. Neither will Goldwyn sell Cantor's services to Warmers.
 So the game is at stalemate and proves nothing except. that miracles still can happen to jobless, discour- aged people such as Cecil Holm who had the idea for the play in the first place and already has been made rich by 1t. Before "Three Mer on Q Horse" reaches the screen, MT Holm will be considerably richer.
 
 Plays the Thing
 One of the most puzzling GUS. toms of Hollywood is the eager ness of companies to pay 10 or % times more for the rights to 8 play, which already has been seen by

 Extraneous noises drive him wild. He told group of whisper ing extras: Be quiet or I'll order you to leave. You wouldn't like that. Then I'd have to apologize and ask you to come back. And I wouldn't like THAT"
 | During difficult scenes, Director John Ford begins twisting . hand- kerchief. Pretty soon he has part of it in his mouth and yanks at 1t until everyone fears for his teeth. They're good teeth, though; he bites off at least half dozen pipe stems during picture. Most of his pipes are patched with adhesive tape.

"Silly Billies starring Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey and Dor othy Lee comes to the Lido theatel Sunday and Monday for the first showing in Waterbury.
 The two comedy clowns tap virgin field in using the picturesque covered-wagon era as a setting for their riotous nonsense.

These episodes come thick and fast throughout the plot, and have been deftly handled to main- tain the laughter level of the film at a high point.

Mrs. Helen Wills Moody is the most
gracious and eager to answer your

3. The United States would profit
greatly if it would impeach every
member of the existing supreme
court and install the three members
OF the New York boxing commission
in their place. 1t is our firm belief
that the Messrs. Brown, Pheland,
and Wear, constitute the ablest rul-

believe that there has never been
a happier choice of boxing jurists
than when a boot manufacturer,
president of brasSiere company

were placed in control of boxing.
4. James J. Braddock is so con-
fident of defeating Joe Louis that

is such thing as training too fine
7. The American Davis cup team
will defeat the Australians in the
finals of the North American zone,
five matches to none, and go on to

or 12 pounds he will have on Tony
CanZoneri when they meet this sum-
mer, and has already upbraided his
manager, Pop Foster, for making a
match in which he will hold such
an advantage And that Pop, hurt
by Jimmy's reproaches, promised
never to take match in which his
boy did not give away pounds.
8. That Joe Ear, golf's No. /
trick shot artist and "Clown
Prince" is the most reserved and
personable young man playing
golf today.
10. That cross country running,
with the possible exception of ham
mer- throwing, is the most vivid and

II. That every time Dizzy Dean
complains of a sore arm he really
has a sore arm.
-. That much of the New York
Giants success is due TO Bill Terry's
natural charm and good humor.
