STATE

"The Charge Of The Light Bri- gade," Warner Brother stupendous production, suggested by the im- mortal poem by Tennyson b prov- ing the talk of the town and draw ing capacity houses at Warners state theatsr where 1t is now in the second day of its four-day en- gagement.
 This iS not unusual because the picture is breaking records eveFy- where it plays In New England. It's one of the years best and should not be missed.
 Handsome Enrol Flynn and beau tiful Olivia dc Havilland head Q cast of more than fifteen thousand players.
 The absorbing story of which the charge of the Light Brigade makes the sensational climax be. gins in India, where two brothers, both army officers. ere rivals for the hand of Q beautiful Scottish girl. The girl is betrothed to the elder, but during his absence fighting on the frontier, she falls In love with the younger.
 She struggles against this love. believing herself obligated to her fiancee, but when she finds that both of her lovers have been or- dered to the front against the Rus- sians in the Crimea, she confesses her love for his brother to her be. trothed, At the same time express ing her fear that the man she loves will be killed in battle.
 To tell more would be to spoil the beautiful romance you will see en- acted during the screening of the picture. Thrills follow thrills as spectacle follows spectacle to bo be climaxed by "The Charge" it. self which is the most pretentious undertaking ever attempted for the talking screen.
 The entire production Is filmed on . lavish scale with colorful in. terior settings, including the mag. nificent palace of the Amir of Sur- istan with his retinue of Nautoh dancing girls, slaves and members of his court.
 Besides Errol Flynn and oliva de Havilland, the distinguished cast includes Patric Knowles, Hen- " Stephenson, Nigel Bruce, Don- aid Crisp, David Niven, 0. Henry Gordon, O. P.

 And Arthur Hopkins. whose re- pect for worthy theme and Q new play outweighs his regard for the box ofiice, has produced "Plumes In the Dust' reverently. He has given the only play Q beautiful production in scenes of nostalgia design with 6 host of actors who, though un- famed, are expertly drilled.
 While for the role of the haplesS, raven -headed Poe, he has enlisted Henry Hull, of late the tattered Jeeter Lester in Tobacco Road" Whatever the Broadway fate of "Piumes in the Dust" may be, Mir. Hull again shows, by his sensitive rendition of 0 difficult role, that he k among our nest players.
 But the inevitable objection from Broadway playgoers will come up: Miss Treadwells study of Poes life iA biography, not entertainment. Broadway marks down sucll admire able plays as commercial failures and artistic succeses".
 The rest of the recent boxscore shows that Broadway has played . scoreless week, with no hits, no rlina and all errors. Even veteran Otto Haybach and slgmund RomberG who have written countless books and scores for muscial successes, failed to make an entertaining operetta out of "I'orbidden Melody" Instead, they have a mediocre mus. ical romance, lacking in charm and humor and popular appeal. It's leading man is Carl Brisson, the Danish lady killer; and its leading is Ruth Weston, of the non-inusical stage. Neither of these personalities salvage the wreck.
 The lady who does what she can to make "Torbidden Melody" in- viting Is Ruby Mercer, on attractive nymph who can sing superbly and perform with boise.
