Montgomery, who achieved his screen reputation in this type of domestic comedy drama comes to the new picture following his work in the highly successful Live, Love and Learn" Miss Bruce Is teamed with him for the first time and receives one of her best acting opportunities as the wife who refuses to give up 8 re- munerative career to make 8 home for her husband.
 As Miss Bruce's partner in New York theatrical agency, Warren William returns to the debonair note he struck in such films as The Dark Horse" and the Perry Mason stories.

 "The First Hundred Years" is a modern domestic comedy drama with New York locale, based on the problems that arise when a wife who has a successful and estab- lished career as New York the- atrical agent, cannot bear the thought of relinquishing her inde- pendence and her financial and professional background in order to make a home for a husband who earns considerably less money than she.
 The entire action takes place in modernistic settings including the wife.s impressive office, her apart ment, two up-to-the-minute night clubs, the Newark airport, superior court judges chambers and a New Bedford shipyard.

 The state theater's big parade of hits marches on with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in Bring ing Up Baby" heading the outstand- ing program opening four day en- gagement starting tomorrow. Miss Hepburn, who heretofore has scored chiefly in strong dra- matic roles, as in the recent stage Door" is said to be sensational as madcap comedienne in the new offering. She is ably matched by Grant, whose work in Topper" and '"The Awful Truth" has sent him soaring to top rank among screen funsters.
 A brilliant featured cast is in the film, with May Robson as Miss Hepburn's wealthy and bossy aunt, Charlie Ruggles as 8 charity big game hunter, Barry Fitzgerald as boastful Irish gardener, Waiter Catlett as . comic jailo, Fritz Field as a doctor, George Irving as an attorney, and Leona Roberts and Virginia Walker in prominent supporting roles. In addition, two of Hollywoods most prominent four footed actors have important parts - "Nissa," an eight-year-old leopard, and "Asta," the famous wire-haired terrier of The Thin Man"
 In keeping with its novelties of plot, the picture offers notable set- tings. A huge museum room with a full-sized brontosaurus skeleton 80 feet long Gan exact copy of the famous specimen at the Peabody Museum at Yale University, luxurious Connecticut estate, a country club, 8 noted New York hotel and a small town jail com- prise the principal background against which the story runs its dizzy course.

 Dealing with girl convict who falls in love with a young doctor at the institution and then to keep from ruining his career, participates in a daring prison break, this exciting film is said to be one of the years more gripping offerings. Anne Shir- ley, Lee Patrick, George Irving, Es- ther able and other favorites are included in the supporting cast.
