with a hint of seriousness in his

mo, but really, Sue, you aren't

She shook her head, shameless

Mother used to absolutely cry over
me when was dressed for parties,
the change is most gratifying, most
gratifying indeedl" She lowered
her voice pompously over the last
phrase, initiating the lawyer who
had been her joint guardian with
Allen after their fathers death.
Presently they were at the table,
devouring with healthy young ap-
petites Maggie's delicious dinner.
Allen put forward finger to the
silver bowl of violets, long
stemmed purple beauties with an
expensive look.
"The faithful Kettle?"
She shrugged. Eyes. I must be

Sue laughed outright. "Sue Ket-

To her surprise Allen remarked
meditatively: 81 think ! wouldn't

The goblet she was lifting to her
with tiny tfIump.

before he spoke. "You do, my

Presently she went back to the
subject. "You can't resist a dig at

Playing
 Today
STATE

Flowing Gold" with John Gar field, Frances Farmer and Pat OBrien in the starring leads; also Jean Hersholt in "Dr. Christian Meets Woman" are the two splen- did attractions coming to close this evening at the air conditioned Warner Bros. State theater.
 And then starting tomorrow aft- ernoon the Sate presents "The Great McGinty", a new comedy drama that will positively have State patrons rolling in the aisles.
 Replete with hilarious situations and sparkling dialogue, the film is heralded as one of the most Satis- flying pieces of screen entertainment of the current season and boasts a brilliant cast headed by Brian Don- levy, Akim Tamirof and Muriel Angelus.
 In advance, we are advising the atergoers that this is neither the tale of a dipsy-diver nor a screen paraphrase of a popular song of the same name which was contempo- raneous with the Gay Nineties. The title is, in fact, clever play on words.
 The story highlights in humorous fashion the chicanery and steam- rolling tactics of political rings of generation or so ago, which ob- tained in some cities under Boss Rule"
 In an unidentified city, Dunlevy as Dan McGinty," two-fsted product of the streets, wins the favor of the "boss," played by Tamil rolf, and rises to power in a series of fast and profitable advancements from repeat-voter on through a term as Alderman, to become Mayor and eventually Governor of the State.
 Married to his secretary, McGinty is persuaded by her to break with the "bosS" and go straight, with startling results to all concerned.
 Other featured players heading an excellent cast are William Demar- est, Ally Joslyn, Steffi Duna and Mary Thomas.
 On the same big weekend show is from Browns Schooldays" with Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Freddie Bar tholomew and Billy Halop in fea- tured roles.
 "The Sea Hawk" starring Errol Flynn in the most glorious screen adventure of his career, has been scheduled by the State as the next big attraction and will come to Waterbury on Wednesday. Never before have there been such ad- venture, thrills and excitement in one picture. Put it on your must" list for Wednesday.
