M The Local TheaterS
POLl'S

Two great pictures, and a cool comfortable theater attracted large audiences over the weekend at Po- lis.
 When we say great, we mean truly great, as Dinner at Eight" and Men in White" the two pictures that are playing return engage mentS, at the request of Poll pa- irons, are considered two of the screens greatest achievements.
 Dinner at Eight" with the great est case ever assembled for one pie ture is a stupendous production and for sheer entertainment value, 1t is doubtful if any motion picture has ever been devised which carries the interest, color and excitement which 1t offers.
 Even if the play were not as clev- CT as 1t is, the mere spectacle of seeing so imposing an array of cel- ebrities in one film as Marie Dress Ter, the two Barrymores, Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Ed mund Lowe, Billie Burke, Madge Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen Morley, Louise Closer Hale, Phillips Holmes and May Robson would be enough to stimulate ones cinema appetite. Moreover, the picture has been so artfully contrived that practically each and every one of these we'll known Hollywood headliners has a big scene to himself.
 Men In White" the co-feature brings not only a romantic new emotional team, Clark Gable and Myrna Loy, to the screen, but also one of the most dramatic stories ever filmed.
 For the first time the profession of medicine is revealed in all its stark, rich, human aspects. An acc tual operation scene is pictured in vivid detail, not morbidly, but as an education in the procedure of med- icine as we'll as in the understand ing of basic human emotions and instincts.
 Wednesday evening. a stage pres- entation of 5 vaudeville acts will be presented with Freddie Hall as M c. and Gus Meyers and the Poll orchestra adding to the festivities.

 each picture five times-in English, Spanish, French, German and 1tal- ian.
 Knowing no foreign languages at all, they read lines written phonet- ically on blackboards outside the range of the cameras.
 "And our atrocious accents made us all the funnier," chortled Laurel. "Oliver was e Georgia Spaniard-" "And Stan was e British French manl" whooped Hardy. The boys are like that-exuberant.
 Too Costly to Repeat
 These days the pair make pictures only in English, but their films re- main tremendously popular in all foreign countries. The foreign dialog recited by interpreters, is dubbed into the films exhibited abroad Reason for the change was eco- nOEalcS.
 Laurel and Hardy now make fea- lures instead of shorts, and theil latest effort, "Our Relations" cost Q cool @400,000. slapstick comedy lo30 style, has got itself into tor hat and tails, @ plush environment and the middle brackets of Holly wood profligacy.
 MT. S. L. Jefferson
 Stanley Laurel Jefferson, born in England of theatrical parents ir 1895, never had the slightest doubt that he'd be an actor. But he had . slight lisp. None of the great tra- gedians, he knew, ever lisped. So he turned to comedy.
 His professional debut was made

PAUL MAYER NOT
 HELD RESPONSIBLE

Paul Maher of l26 Dikeman street, this city, was absolved of respon- sibility for the death in Stamford of Florence Potoka in finding aHl- nounced Saturday by Coroner John E. Phelan of Bridgeport.

 A similar triumph was scored soon afterward, when he was given the task of igniting some gunpow- der under the stage for scene iI1 which a safe was supposed to be biased open. He put in plenty oi powder and delighted the audience by blowing both safe and william into the orchestra pit.
 With Charles and Sidney
 He was a trouper at l2, billed thus: Stanley Jefferson Quaint Comedian-He of the Funny Ways. At IS he had minor place in 6 stock company in which Charles and Sidney Chaplin were principals They came to America to tour, anc Stanley was CharlieIs understudy.
 But the stars health remained discouragingly good. While they were playing in Los Angeles the boy succumbed to twinges of homesick- ness, deserted the troupe, and made his way back to England.
 A few years later, with Chaplin in a hoary-jested item called "Mumming Birds" they again reached the United States. The company disbanded when Mack Sennett hired Chaplin. So Laurel went into vaudeville and soon had @ fling or two at the flickers.
 
 Now for Mir. Hardy
 Meanwhile Hardy, of the Harlem, Csa Hardvs. had been having a lean

 His voice changed while he wal warbling in Florida one winter, SC he went to work for a hy-by might movie company. He played comedy heavies, carpentered sets, totec cameras, made up the principals and helped white the scenarios They counted that day lost when Q picture wasn't started and finished in 10 or 12 hours.

 They Met in 1919
 Laurel and Hardy appeared to- gether in a picture in 1919 a Broncho Billy quickie. But theil first team billing was in Hats of, in 1926. Each recognized in tht other a perfect comedy fail anc they have been together ever since Indeed, they VOW they've never hac e quarrl.
 Hardy weighs 270 pounds and spends most of his leisure time smacking a golf ball. Laurel weighs 1855 and wrestles 200-pound sword- fish for fun. He has Q 46-foot cruis- CT, a pretty wife, and a mynah bird named Yogi.
