MUSICAL CINEMA
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Everybody Sing Stars Judy Garland, Allan
 Jones and Fanny Brice

Tomorrow Loew's Poli presents a picture with a title that means just what it says = Every Body Sing" You'll all be doing it soon.
 Everybody Sing" has been se- cured for four-day engagement only. Metro Goldwyn-Mayer, the Hollywood house of music, mirth and super-drama on the screen, has gone the limit again. From this studio came Broadway Melody" in annual succession-"The Great Zig feld"-"Born to Dance"-"Rosalie" one after another. Great hits - fine pictures-musical treats.
 Allan Jones and Judy Garland, sweet and hot" songster stars of the screen, are teamed for the first time in Everybody Sing" mad and tuneful story of the lives of a family of theatrical folk.
 Fresh from their respective tri- umphs in "The Firefiy" and Broad way Melody of 1938", Jones and Miss Garland have been provided with a vehicle which displays Jones operatic charm and Judy's swing fever in hilarious and melodious contrast.
 Fanny Brice, incomparable com- edienne, who captivated Broadway and London for many years, is making her second screen appear ance for Metro Goldwyn-Mayer in one of the funniest roles of her long career. You remember her in ''The Great Zigfeld" you will re- member her in this new role.
 Billie Burke, veteran charmer of such successes as Topper" and "The Bride Wore Red" her two latest pictures, is teamed with Reg inald Owen who appeared opposite her in "The Bride Wore Red'.
 Lynne Carver, beautiful young actress, has been rewarded for the stellar quality of her many sup porting roles with one of the most important parts of her brilliant career. And Reginald Gardiner-the man who initiates wall paper, car pets and virtually any other odd ment under the sun-iS cast as a comedy menace who is somewhat short on brains but long on looks and limitations.
 Best known for his ability to aS- semble precisely the right talent for the production, Harry Rapf has called upon all his long experience as Broadway and Hollywood the atrical executive to assist him in his role as producer for Everybody Sing" His selection of Edward Ma rin to direct followed hard upon Marin's directorial success with Married Before Breakfast"
 Everybody Sing" follows the new est demand of the public-a de- mand for love stories with snap sophistication with an occasional old-fashioned tear, and melody blending swing and classics in Hol- lywocd's suavest and snappiest style. The story is laid in New York City, a background and locale which pro- vide a perfect vehicle for its tenn per and comedy. The original story and screen play was written by Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf.
 On the same program is an added treat, another hit, Squadron of Honor" with Don Terry in the lead ing role.

STATE

The second of the new seasons hits, Letter of Introduction" star ring Charlie Mccarthy, Edgar Ber- gen, Adolph Menjou, Andrea Leeds, George Murphy and others of note arrived at Waterbury's only air conditioned motion picture theater, the Warner Brothers State, over the weekend and proved capacity audience attending every perform ance that it is one of the grandest pictures that will be seen for years to come.
 And here's good news for every member of the theater-going public of Waterbury and vicinity. Due to the crowds who have viewed this film over the weekend and in order that everyone might have the same opportunity, Manager Julia Smith has decided to hold the picture over for three days. Instead of closing with performances this evening as previously scheduled, it will not close until after performances Thursday evening.
 Fine dramatic situations inter- mingled with grand comedy mo- ments form the key note of film.
 Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds and George Murphy provide the drama. The comedy is excellently taken care of by that remarkable pair, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mo- Carthy.
 Andrea Leeds and Adolphe Men- jou carrying the story of an aging actor who discovers, through a let ter of introduction, that he is the father of a grown daughter, the role played by Miss Leeds. The actors ego, coupled with the fear of losing his screen-idol popularity, prompts him to conceal their true relation ship from the world and to extract from his daughter a promise of sec- recy.
 Through this deception comes a succession of events, some tragic some dramatic, some hilarious. En- hanced by the extraordinary act ing abilities of Miss Leeds and MT. Menjou. they merge to form a truly great screen offering. Mccarthy, however, emerges as tops in the comedy line, although he has as unexpected rival in Mortimer Snerd, a rural dummy who makes his screen debut in Letter of Interoduction". Morti- mer nearly steals the show from Charlie in spots.
 Included on the same bill is Danger on the Air" co-starring Donald Woods and Nan Grey. The film Is a thrilling Crime Club mys- tery production, one that will have you sitting on the edge of youl seat during the entire screening.

In a world full of women who couldn't say "Yes" fast enough if given an opportunity to marry a millionaire, the story of one who said "No", proves hilariously enter taining in the new comedy, "Rich Man, Poor Girl" which opens at the Loew's Poli theater Wednesday for a three-day engagement.
 Featuring Robert Young in tai- lor-made comedy role of a wealthy socialite bent on marrying his sec- retary, as played by Ruth Hussey, the cast also features Lew Ayres, Guy Kibbee, Rita Johnson and Lana Turner.
 The plot concerns Young, who, upon being refused the hand of the lovely Miss Hussey, moves in on her family to prove that he's an all right guy. The fun begins as Young comes in conflict with Ayres who deems all wealthy people his natural enemies. Finally, in desperation, Young threatens to give away all his money which immediately brings the family to terms because, after all, If their daughter is going to marry the man, he might just as well have million dollars as not.
 It is a story of mirthful situations and delightful romance, eliminating in riotous comedy scene where the Thayer family goes out to prevent the hero from throwing away his wad. The comedy was filmed by the noted European director, Reinhold Schunzel. It is based on the Broad way hit, White Collars" authored by Edity Ellis. lar
 Plus this second big hit on the same program, Crime Ring" where you learn how the crystal ball ex- perts know more about yourself than you do, and at the same time enjoy this great story featuring Allan Lane and Frances Mercer.
