 cess Tomorrow

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers Strand theater con- clude the engagements of Sonia Henie. Tyrone Power and Rudy vallee in Irving Berlin's Second Fiddle" also Ray Midland and Isa Miranda in Hotel Imperial"
 Theatergoers attending the Strand over the weekend will be afforded plenty of thrills and fun when the great Broadway stage hit, "On Bor- rowed Time" reaches the screen of that theater on Sunday for three day engagement.
 It has been judged as one of the outstanding Broadway stage suc- ceSSes of last season and bids fair to be even more successful as mo- tion picture.
 One of the finest all-star casts appear in the picture. headed by Lionel Barrymore, who is current ly celebrating his thirtieth anniver- sary in motion pictures, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Beulah Bondi, Una Mer- kel and Bobs Watson.
 As the lovable, old, outspoken Gramp, Barrymore marks new milestone in his amazing record. It is Gramp who desperately fights death in order to prevent the young grandson he loves from falling into the hands of a scheming and un- scrupulous aunt. That is the simple outline of the story which is full of warm humor and of thought-pro- voking and inspiring imagery.
 Surrounding Barrymore in an ex- ceptional cast. In the role of the mysterious stranger, MT. Brink, personification of Death, is Sir Ced- rio Hardwicke, noted British stage and screen personality. The role of Pud falls to eight-year- Bobs Watson, most talked-of-youngster of the year. Beulah Bondi is the devoted Granny, Eily Malyon the hypocritical Aunt Demetria, Una Merkel the warmly human maid, Marcia.
 Among the entertainment high lights of the film are those which include the fishing escapades of Gramp and Pud, in their old rattle- trap of car, the humor of their first appearance together at church

GOLDEN BOY IS
 BEING HELD OVER
Star, William Holden Over. night Becomes Talk
 of Filmlland :.

Regular schedules at Warmers air conditioned State theater were again broken on last Wednesday, in order that the world premiere showing of Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou and William Holden in the outstand- ing production, Golden Boy, could take place that evening at 6 o'clock Needless to Say Golden Boy was screened to capacity attendance and will continue at the State until Monday evening.
 Audiences, besides attending a world premiere, also viewed the screen debut of William Holden, who overnight has become the talk of the town. Fresh from college campus and without previous experience in dramatics or acting, Holden's char acterization is so convincing that his right to be starred with Barbara Stanwyck and Adolphe Menjou can- not be gainsaid.
 Clifford Odets' sensational stage success of the same name forms the basis for the picture and it retains a great deal of the intrinsic hu- manity which has made the play wright one of the nations foremost craftsmen.
 A youths climb to pugilistic great ness; the tremendous emotional con- flict which rages when the boy tries to convince not only his family, but himself that this devision to change his future is the proper thing to do, are the chief concerns of the story. The film, moreover, brings to the screen for the first time the colorful, human dialogue of people. who live intensely, the dia- logue which has contributed tre- mendously to Odets' success.
 Holden, as the youth with the musicians soul, who turns prize fighter, gives a brilliant perform ance. Handsome, wholesome, a superb actor, he promises to be- come tremendous populaz favor ite with both sexes.
 Miss Stanwyck, in deftly drawn romantic role is brilliant, and Adolphe Menjou is absolutely con- vincing as the glib, colorful prize fight manager.
 Other notables in the cast include Joseph Calleia, Lee J. Cobb, who is familiar to stage audiences, Edward Brophy, William Strauss and Frank tanks.
 The second feature, Parents On TriaP, is an attraction of excep- tional appeal and derives its inspir- ation from the age-old conflict be- tween the older and younger gener- ations. Jean Parker and Johnny Downs are featured.
 Headlining the outstanding bill opening at the State on Tuesday is Coast Guard" with Randolph Scott, Ralph Bellamy and Frances Dee; also Five Little Peppers and How They Grew" with Edith Fellows in the. starring. role.
