STATE

Today and tomorrow mark your last opportunity to see the excellent double hill being presented at War ner Brothers State theater.
 Gary Cooper and Claudette Col bert proved pleasing to local movie fans in their first co-starring "Blue- beard's Eighth Wife. Both stars turn in excellent performances.
 Cooper, in his role of a young ty- coon who has almost as many ex- wives as he has millions, typifies the playboy American who has made such a sensation in European re- sorts during the past few years. Miss Colbert and her father, played by Edward Everett Horton, satirize the broken-down European nobles who manage to recoup their fortune by marrying transatlantic millionaires
 Others in the cast include David Niven and Elizabeth Patterson.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Akim Ta- miroff in the top role of his career in Dangerous To Know. Gail Patrick and Anna May Wong are cast opposite Tamiroff in this thrill ling film.
 Starting Friday Warner Brothers State theater will add two more outstanding hits to the long list of entertaining winners which have made this theater the popular rem dezvous of every local movie fan.
 "Jezebel" with Bette Davis in the leading role assisted by George Brent, Henry Fonda and many oth- CT screen favorites will head the program; while the show you've been waiting for Love, Honor and Behave, co-starring Wayne Morris and Priscilla Lane, is the second smash hit on the program.
 Miss Davis, who won the Aca- demy Award as the best actress ir 1885 declares that this is the best picture part she has ever had, moi excluding her great work In "Oi Human Bondage" with Leslie How. ard.
