With pungent fragrance of chrysan-

NV thoughts have left this city for a
while
TO pass again along a London street
And enter through a well-remember~

To look within q room that once was
home.
The freight glows upon a copper

Filled with chrysanthemums of

AS they are placed upon the silver

And sweetest thing of all, hear your

That hour and this, and you who sell

The golden heart of these chrysanthe-

STRAND

Bing Crosby, Joan Blondell, Mlscha Auer and the new baby sensation Sandy" comprise the S'ar-studded cast of the mirth and melody picture East Side of Heaven" which opens at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand thcatcr this afternoon for four day en- gagcment
 Besides the romancing, singing and laughing which goes hand in hand with these three stars, the film includes four new hit tunes which you'll be singing for months to come.
 The popular Blng is cast as a cruising troubadour, or to put 1t more plainl singing taxi driver. Joan, his sweetheart, is 6 hotel telephone operator and Mischa Auer is Bing's unemployed room- mate who has learned from read ing the stars that he should not even look for work until 1942.
 It is safe to say that this trio of stars would be quite sufficient in any picture. But in their current production they are aided, and very materially by "Sandy," the cutest infant ever to face a movie camera.
 c. Aubrey Smith, Jerome Cowan, Irene Hervey and Matty -falneck and his orchestra are among the other important members of the cast
 Co-featuring this program is "Tell No Tales" with MelVyn Doug lass and Louise Platt in the star ring roles.

 It is only few months ago that thousands of Waterburians sat in the State theater and suddenly that theater ceased to exist.

And there they lived and loved and laughed and cried with those whose feelings became their feelings whose story became their story. att
 Such a picture was -Four Daugh- ters" and now certainly just such Q a picture is Daughters Courage ous." Here, once again, the same gay, young players. Here again 8 story, though different, sure to be cherished as long as your heart has room for love. The characters are more lovablc, the problems more stirring, tho romances more delight- ful.
