POLI'S

As Tommy Mccoy, the boy who fought his way from the slums to the heights, Robert Taylor presents the finest, most vigorous acting job he has ever essayed in "The Crowd Roars," screening Saturday at the house of hits, the Loew Poli theater.
 Here is the answer to the plea for action in pictures, with Taylor putting every ounce of energy and ability into his first prizeflght role. The picture is packed with thrills, warm romance, gripping suspense.
 A cast of champions supports the star; Frank Morgan as his father, ex-vaudeville trouper; Edward Ar mold as the gambler behind the scenes of the fight game; Maureen O'Sullivan as his daughter and Jane Wyman as her school chum and rival for Taylor's affections, William Gargan as the ex-light heavyweight champ killed in the ring by Taylor, his former pupil, Lionel Stander as the stars trainer; Nat Pendleton as Arnold's gambling rval; Isabel Jewell as Gargan's wife; Gene Rey- holds as Tommy Mccoy as boy. Every one makes a standout of his 0, her characterization.
 Richard Thorpe, directing the pie ture, has kept 1t moving at break neck pace without sacrificing con- viction or feeling. Sam Zimbalist, producing from George Bruce's original story, has given 1t all the true flavor of the world it rep reSents.
 Also, on the same program for your enjoyment we have Jane With CTS, the girl wonder in Keep Smil- ing" which is her best hit to date, and supported by an able cast con- sisting of Gloria Stuart and Henry WilcoXon.
 Current attractions at Loew's- Poli include Warner Baxter and Marjorie Weaver in the gay roman tic comedy, "I'll Give Million" !" and Lew Ayres and Helen Mack in King of the NcWsboys".

Chump" star ring Johnnie Seat" Davis with Lola Lane and Penny Singleton; also Bulldog Drummon in Africa" with John Howard heading the fea- tured cast.
 Tomorrow the State continues its new movie season with the pre- sentation of the second of the new seasons hits. "A Letter of Intro duction" starring Adolphe Menjou, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mc- Carthy.
 What a grand and glorious thrill this picture will give you, and just think you may enjoy the gags of Bergen and Mccarthy in an atmos- phere of cool scientific air condi- tioning, which ever since the in- stallation of this system, the largest and most modern in New England, has been the talk of Waterbury and vicinity.
 Of interesting note is the fact that Bergen introduces new dummy which he calls Mortimer Snerd. Mortimer is just the opposite Of Mccarthy being bashful type, with buck teeth, rural draWl and be- cause of his inferior complex he hides under Bergen's coat half the time.
 This entertaining threesome prac- tically steal the show with Charlie constantly arguing with the new Mortimer because he is "muscling in on his territory.
 All in all you're assured of grand entertainment that is highly recom- mended for the whole family.

He referred in particular to the
unions contracted in nearby

laws in Illinois.
