Right up on top of your must see" list goes the new comedy 'Three Cheers for the Irish" which head lines the grand double hit program which opened e four day engagement at the Warner Bros. State theater this afternoon.
 Boosting a talented cast with Priscilla Lane, Thomas Mitchell, Dennis Morgan and Alan Hale in the leading roles, 1t Is truly a picture to be seen and enjoyed by every mem Der of the family.
 The picture is indeed one to arouse the true St. Patrick's Day spirit in Waterburians, as 1t is said to be as Irish as a shamrock.
 The plot is simple and is about one Peter Casey who refuses to like his son-in-law but in the end is won over by a grand-child. Thomas Mitchell is seen in the part of Casey who, of course, is Irish and a po- liceman too. Casey has three daugh- ters, three pretty colleens, each with 8 beau, that is all except Maureen the apple of his eye. Casey natur- ally worries about that until Mau- reen gets a beau also. Naturally he would have to be policeman, and 8 policeman she gets but shades ot St. Patrick he's not an Irishman he's @ Scot.
 Maureen's Scottish beau is only one of Casey's headaches for he is retired from the police force an6 right on the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of his joining it. To keep him. self busy and his mind away iron the police force he runs for alder. man and gets into some remarkable complications much to the delight oi audiences. He tries to persuade peo. pie not to vote for him, and in tn, long run ends up with a silk ha and a grandchild.
 Thomas Mitchell as Casey turn in another of his remarkable per formances and Priscilla Lane, as hi daughter Maureen, handles her roll with a deftness that struly mark her for stardom. Dennis Morgan il the romantic lead opposite Miss Lam is also excellent and Alan Hale add new laurels to his fame with bril- liant performance.
 In addition the management pre- sents another in the exciting Lon Wolf series, "The Lone Wolf Strikes with Warren William and Joal Perry.

lishment are clamoring for new films. : DEMAND EXPECTED
 TO BE TREMENDOUS
 This equipment was not installed by the Mills Novelty Company, with which Roosevelt is associated as a producer of slot-machine movies. But the films being shown were made by Neil Mcclure, who is ex- pected to turn out the short shorts to be used in the Mills-R Roosevelt enterprise.
 He, or somebody, will have a great many pictures to make be- cause there seems little doubt that most of the big jube-box concerns such as Wurlitzer will have to com pete in the new field whether they like 1t or not. At least three com panies already are preparing to jump in. It's easy to imagine the obsolescence of all the hundreds of thousands of record-playing ma- chimes now in bars and restaurants and roadhouses when people can buy the same music along with vis- ual diversion.
 NO TROUBLE EXPECTED
 FROM CENSORS
 Every beer and hamburger joint would become a sort of cabaret, with wall show instead of floor show. There might be some diffi- culties with municipal license laws, although most of them do not re- strict the showing of 16-mm. film, which is the size to be used in shot machines. Censorship is not expect ed to a handicap either, the notion being that in night club and bars which are not frequently by minors anyway, movies could enjoy about r the same privileges in song lyrics and nudity as live entertainers now have.
 Neil Mcclure has been cinema tographer, special effects expert and producer of short subjects for 2t years, and he pioneered gooc many of the methods now in ordi- nary use.
 Mcclure introduces impression. ism and amusing tricks such al having 8 tiny dancer performing in a magic bottle on bar.

JENKINS' RALLY GETS WIN OVER
 MONTGOMERY
Lightweight Champ Is in Trouble During Early
 Rounds
BY JACK cUDDY

' AN8 OAA0AA OOA@~4
 United Press Stan COrrespondent) Philadelphia, Sept. 17. = CUP)-
 With the badge of "quitter'' brushed
 from his boney bosom, lightweight champion Lew Jenkins was eager and confident today, ready to meet all corners.
 This skinny Texan with the sunk en eyes proved that he was e dead game guy last night when he rose from the canvas, though badly hurt, and hammered out a 10-round deci- sion over young Bob Montgomery, formidable Philadelphia negro, at Shibe Park.
 Champion Jenkins had been branded "quitter" after his peculiar sixth-round knockout by Henry Armstrong in July = when he swooned of his stool between rounds after several questionable trips to the floor.
 But the 12,90O cash customers at the ball park noted no "ki-yi" last night when the Texan lurched up from 8 nine-count in the third round and at once staggered his low They saw no signs of the yellow flag when Jenkins, smashed square ly on the whiskers after the bell ending the ninth, battered his man from rope to rope in the 10th.
 Jenkins won respect the hard way last night in an unexpectedly rous- ing battle that drew a gross gate of $25, 400 and was worth every cent of it.
 The champions first performance in Philadelphia was such an all- round success that Promoter Her. man Taylor immediately prevailed upon him and his manager Hymie Caplin to show again here about three weeks hence against another top flight local scrapper, Ernie Tighe at Conevntion Hall. That, too, will be nin-title Hereunder.
 Following that, Jenkins will en- gage in another nOn-title brawl at Chicago or Boston before defending his 135-pound crown at Madison Square Garden in late November. Pete Lello of Chicago probably will be the titler opponent if he beats Irving Eldridge impressively in New York this Friday night.
 Jenkins won a unanimous decision last night. The United Press gave him five rounds against four for Montgomery and one even. The ring. officials gave him a wider margin.
 Regardless of the voting, 1t was one of the toughest fights in Jen- kins' career, and Montgomery, al rangey, broad shouldered youngster who was engaging in his 30th pro- fessional fight, certainly suffered no disgrace in dropping the second de- cision of his career. This Montgom- cry lad surprised the large delega- ton of out-of-town boxing writers with his ability. He was a tough, elusive opponent - persistently marching forward with a low bob and weave in the Henry Armstrong fashion-and belting Jenkins belly every time they clinched, which was often.
 No title was at stake because of the distance was only 10 rounds and because Montgomery scaled 137 pounds, two over the lightweight limit. Jenkins hit the limit on the nose with 1855,
