 He got up. Here's the launch now. "We'll be starting right away"

STRAND

Attractions concluding their en- gagementS this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand theater in- clude "Rulers of the Sea" with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, Margaret Lockwood and Will Fyffe: also "The Flying Deuces" with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the leads.
 And then starting Sunday the Strand will present its patrons with one of the biggest shows of the sea- son; two big hits that everyone should see.
 spotlighting the program will be the new comedy Charlie Mccarthy Detective" with Edgar Bergen, Charlie Mccarthy and Mortimer 6nerd in the starring roles and Constance Moore and Robert Cum mings in featured roles.
 Judged as the funniest of all fun ny pictures 1t presents Bergen and company at their best. Theater- goers are guaranteed a laugh 3 minute as Charlie turns crime de- tector. Of course many of the hil- arious sequences center around Mor- timer who tries to push Charlie in- to the background not only in his detective work but in his love-mak- ing as well.
 Constance Moore and Robert Cummings are seen in featured roles.
 "Relnember?" a picture you won't forget too soon, will be the second big attraction and co-stars Robert Taylor and Greer Carson with Lew Ayres and a big cast.
 Dealing with the trials and trib- ,ulations of modern married life the story is highlighted by bright dia- 10gue, hilarious comedy situations and a warmly human romantc theme.
 Make date to see this outstand- ing show at the Strand starting to- morrow.
