 As for the feminine side, no wo- man will want to miss seeing the fashion show sequence of the pie ture. It is probably the greatest col- lection of gowns ever shown on the screen, including models especially designed for the production by world famous styliSts.
 The strongest cast ever to grace a Benny picture is made up of such fine performers as Mary Roland, in another of, her scatter-brained dow ager roles; Charles Grapewin as Miss Bennet's father and the Yacht Clubs, Fritz Field and Joyce Comp ton who also contribute their share of comedy.
 As the second big holiday feature the management will present Tor chy Gets Her Man." the newest ad- venture of that snappy, snoopy girl reporter played by Glenda Farrell. As usual, Barton MacLane is cast opposite her as Lieutenant Steve Mcbride, her detective boy friend. It is said that this is about as thrilling a movie as Miss Farrell and MacLane have ever made.
 The States temporary change of policy brings a complete new show on Wednesday next. The long, awaited Dawn Patrol" starring Errol Flynn will be the headliner while Say It In French" with Olympe Bradna will be the sec- ond big feature.
 Make your plans now to attend the States gala New Years Eve show. An exciting array of stars and two outstanding productions will entertain you to the utmost as the old year goes out and the new year comes in.

HOLT AND AUTRY
 IN STRAND HITS
Two New Pictures to Headline Holiday Pro-
 gram Tomorrow

Attractions to be enjoyed for the last times this evening at the War ner Bros. Strand tiaeater include .sThe Citadel' co-Starfirlg Rosalind Russell and Robert Donat; also .'Road Demon" with Henry. Arthur, Joan Valerie and Henry Armetta heading the all-star cast.
 Z A neatly arranged screen pro- gram awaits theater- -g0ers attend ing the Warner Bros. Strand the ater over the holidays, for tomorrow and Sunday marks the first local showing of. two approximations .sThe Strange Case of Dr. Meade starring Jack Holt and Rhythm oi the Saddle" with Gene Autry in the title role.
 without deserting his career as an action drama star, a new and vitally different Jack Holt is prom ised in this picture. Holt, pre-emi- nent in the field of clean, outdoor films suitable for the entire family appears as a famous surgeon in a story rich with human quality.
 The story concerns a hard-work- ing surgeon, who suddenly decides upon vacation. In the mountain village where he goes to escape his fame he runs across ignorance and prejudice which attempts to pre- vent him from altering the. old fashioned and shocking local medi- cal situation.
 Noah Berry, Jr, and Beverly Roberts are cast in leading roman tic roles, appearing as small town youngsters.
 With this start the story moves rapidly, logically and rises to g strong climax. It is truly an excit- ing drama of the type that will be enjoyed by every man, woman and child.
 Others in the cast include Paul Everton, Barbara Pepper, Russell Simpson, Helen Jerome Eddy and John Qualen.

COOPER, OBERON
 AT LOEW' POLL
The COwbOdy and the Lady Headlines Double
 Smash Holiday Features

Waterbury is in for a treat in the presentation of the double smash Holiday show being presented at the Loew-Poli Theater on Xmas Day, Sunday.
 The first big hit of the program is '"The Cowboy And The Lady" CO., starring two of the screens most popular actors, Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon. The new picture contrasts the glitter and glamour of smart society in Washington and Florida with the romance and ad- venture of Cowboy Land in the Golden West, and is a comedy TO- nance of modern-day life.
 As the story opens, Merle Oberon is rushed out of Washington to Florida to avoid a scandal inYolv- ing her in a night-club raid. Merle becomes bored with the quiet out of-season Florida life, and impetu- ously decides to go out on a blind date with-of all the people in the world-her maid and her cook. Mis- adventure follows when glamorous Merle is partnered with square shooting Cary. Not suspecting that the lady is just seeing how the other half lives, it is love at first sight for the lean and rangy cowboy. And when Merle, too, capitulateS to roc nance, there follows 8 series of amusing and exciting adventures which lead to a smashing and breath-taking climax.
 Afforded an opportunity to dis play again the talents which first brought his screen game, Cooper is seen not only as a fast-riding, cow punching cowboy, but ,arouses ad- ditional interest by singing for the first time on the screen. Miss Ober- on, who proved herself a master of the comedy technique in recent pie lures, plays her most romantic role to date in her always effective and versatile manner.
 "The Cowboy And The Lady" re- veals the pictorial brilliance of the great outdoors in the East and the West in a story that has romance, glamour, humor and drama. Sup porting the new "girl-meets-boy" team of Cooper and Miss Oberon, are such notable players as Patsy Kelly, Walter Brennan, Fuzzy Knight and Henry Kolker.
 The second smash feature on this grand holiday bill is Charles Dick ems immortal "A Christmas Carol". Read by millions for nearly a hun dred years, played on the stage and dramatized to the audiences of the screen. Taken directly from the pages of Dickens, the new picture brings Scrooge, Tiny Tim, the Crat- chits and the rest of the beloved characters to life in an authentic reproduction of old London Of Dickens day.
 Deity directed with Reginald Owen, as Scrooge, and Terry Kil- bourn, of Lord Jeff" fame, as Tiny Tim, the picture reproduces almost every situation and speech exactly as written by the author.
 The story is known to the whole world; how the miser Ebenezer Scrooge, sneers at the joy of Christ mas, declaring it all ''humbug";; how he discharges his clerk, Bob Crat- chit, in a fit of rage; forbids his

ner that he may marry, reemployes Cratchit and arranges for Tiny Tim's care as the drama closes with the child's speech, God bless us, every one
 Ovens portrayal of Scrooge is finely balanced and his makeup re- creates the original illustrations of the part. Terry Kfburn is appeal ing as Tiny Tim, and Gene and Kathleen Lockhart as the Cratchits might have stepped from the pages of the book. Barry Mackay, new English actor, is romantically pleas ing as Fred, the romantic lead op- posite Lynn Carver. Conyincingly playing the bhost is Leo G. Carroll.
 Authentic reproductions of old London, authentic costumes, and authentic Christmas celebrations of the time lend verity to the haunt ing story.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY
 CINEMA AT STATE
Jack Benny Features New Comedy, Artists and
 Models Abroad

Starting tomorrow afternoon War ner Bros. State theater will bring to the theatergoing public an espe- cial1y booked Christmas program: two outstanding features that will give Waterbury some real holiday screen entertainment.
 Highlighting the program is the new Jack Benny comedy Artists and Models Abroad" featuring besides the popular come dian, lovely Joan Bennett as his TO- mantle lead, a grand supporting cast; four new hit songs; hilar- ious story and some of the most exciting fashion shown on the screen.
 This marks the first Benny pie ture in more than a year and dif- fers from Jacks previous produc- tions in that the accent is now placed on the story, even though there are enough songs, scenery and beautiful chorines to please the most avid musical comedy fans.
 Punctuating the comedy and TO- nance of the picture are four songs destined for front rank on the dance floors and radio during the coming season. They include What Have You Got That Gets Me-" You're Lovely, Madame" and Do the Buckaroo".
 The story fairly crackles with wit, hilarious situations and bright dia- logue and revolveS about brassy American hoofer, played, of course, by Benny, who finds himself stranded at the Paris Exposition with dozens of beautiful girls on his hands and not a dime in his pockets.
 Benny's exploits consist of living at the best Paris hotels without
