"These Three, with Miriam Hop kins, Merle Oberon and Joel McCrea starts a four-day engagement at Polls today and those who are fa- miliar with new picture releases shown on Broadway know that These Three" has taken New York by storm and is establishing box office records in New York and throughout the country.
 It is the most powerful and grip ping drama to reach the screen in many cinema season and offers the three stars the acting opportun- ities of their careers. The story was written by Lillian Hellman, famous Broadway playwright, magnificently produced and eXpertly directed. It boasts something new to film fans in dramatic situations, knitted together with skill that results in smart-paced, smooth and unforget- table entertainment. Bonita Gran- vile, the 12-year-old, who plays the spiteful schoolgirl whose vicious lie motivates the story, is one of the great acting discoveries of motion picture history.
 The story, in brief, depicts how the ugly lie invented by an unruly student in a private girls school involving her two teachers, Miriam and Merle, and the latter's doctor fiance, Joel McCrea, brought disas. ter into their lives. Due to the re. sultant scandal the school is lost the romance broken and almost un bearable suffering and humiliation is visited upon those three innocen people, before the lie is brought |, light.

When you turn your clock ahead one hour tonight, you'll be helping to add one hour to the operating time of your favorite radio station. That's right, beginning Sunday, WATR will operate until nine o'clock instead of eight, which means several excellent programs for Waterbury listeners through WATR'S Mutual Network facilities. The first of these tomorrow night in @ three-quarter-hour program with one of the largest listening audiences in this part of the coun- try, The Forum Hour, heard at 7:15. Two more excellent Sunday evening programs from Mutual are Master Musicians at 800 and Pancho'S Or- chestra at 8:30.

When wise and adroit Producer
Edward Small started tinkering
with James Fenimore Cooper'S In
dian classic, THE Last of the Mo-
hicanS," many a rival film biggie
giggled to himself, or frankly told
Daredevil Small that the public
wouldn't accept the old-fashioned
whoop-de-do of redskins arrow
shooting at English and French
soldiers and early American set
tiers.
Wrong was this advice, or pre-
diction. Small set out to prepare
surefire but sincere drama, pre-
serving all of the feeling Cooper
had inStilled in his novel. More
than that-Small gathered up a
marvellous cast which he placed
in a lavish and thrilling mount

Far more entertaining, however,
is the saga of the Rangers; their

Jack Oakie has long been lden

find him as the unshaven, tobacco

ionged to be a hero in the service
of his country. Always a finer

part equal to his hiStrionic ability
and he steals the picture!
No less capable is Fred Mac
Murray, who turns in a splendid
piece of work. Ditto for Edward
