STRAND

Bullets or Ballots" opened four- day engagement at the Strand the- ater yesterday with a triple tribute unquestionably minfested.
 There were comments of appre- ciation for the gripping manner in which Martin Mooney, New York newspaperman, fearlessly arraigns society members for their accept ance of the shares of spells by hired mobsters. There were bouquets for Edward c. Iittle Ceasar) Rob- inson for his most impressive work as Detective Johnny Blake, who rips the cloak of hypocrisy from social lights and reveal them as the spon- sors of crime. Mir. Robinson, of course, shares the bouquets with that popular star: Joan Blondell and other members of the cast, Bar- ton MacLane, George E. Stone and Humphrey Bogart to name but a few of the principals. And lastly there was high praise for the Strand theater's hits-or-hits policy that brings Robinson to Waterbury in such a magnificent show. AS a box office magne the name of Edward c. Robinson stills tops Hollywood's glittering array of stars. Bullets or Ballots" is one of the greatest anti-crime plays ever written for MT. Mooney who has served time to

STATE

Everything in the motion picture fans dictionary of desires is found in the current double attraction ct the State theater.
 There's Pat OBrien and Margaret Lindsay soaring to new heights in stardom in their magnificent work in Public Enemy's Wife" And there's Henry Fonda and Mary Brian and Pat Paterson clicking 60 happily in "spendthrift" that pa- irons find themselves debating which is the star feature and which is the co-feature.
 Miss Lindsay is cast in the title role in Public Enemy's Wife," but Pat O,Brien as 0 G-MaT1 is 6 revel- ation. How he has mastered that assignment and what c team these two stars form in answering the ale important sociological question. Suppose Q girl does marry the choice of her heart and discovers that he is 0 racketeer, c leader of gang; she takes Q Trap" with him and then decides to start life anew in an effort to forget her unfor- tunate experiences. Should society ostracize her? Must she go on pay- ing the penalty Of an offense she did not commit? And when love comes with a G-man aS her Romeo must she continue to pay society'i pound-of -blood. It is 0 difficult question to answer. The author oi Public Enemys Wife" takes one through Q series of unforgettable thrills, gun fights, Kidnapping C. Men battling gangsterS, to find loves way and Pat O,Brien af1c Margaret Lindsay supply the an- swer. .
 Tn "spendthrift" love blooms in c different environment. 0old-dig- ging, fortune-spending, fortune making, Kentucky Derby races and other thrills are nicely injected in. to this great play, which serves in every detail aS an admirable co- feature for love in gangland.
 The concluding performances ot the two star offerings will be staged tonight and tomorrow.
 AS the wheel of time brings about change of bill for Wednesday, State theater patrons will find their old favorite Jean HerSholt paying for sins not his own" in "Sins oi Man." Remember Jean in "The Country Doctor.p He Is more inter- esting than ever.
