STRAND

Roars of laughter greeted Jack Benny yesterday at Warmers Strand theater when he was seen for the first time as the aunt in "Charley's Aunt.
 Attired in the. traditional dress of the title role, Benny earned for himself the title of 1o4l's glamour girl in tihS, the funniest role of his career.
 The Brandon Thomas comedy has lost none of It's charm in It's adap- tation to the screen. It still retains the huinor and natllralneSS which has endeared 1t to audiences in every part Of the world, Tn addi- ton, the irrepressible Benny has added several "twistS" of his own that add immeasurably to the en- joyment of the film. Swift and sure, the droll humor of the master com edian tops every other screen com edy.
 Featured with Benny are Kay Francis and James Ellison while an impressive cast of laugh provokers include such names as Edmund Gwenn, Anne Baxter, Reginald owen, Arleen Whelan, Ernest Cos Sart and Morton Lowry.
 Be sure to see this laugh hit at the Strand before its final perform ance Saturday evening. We'll guar antee you laughs, laughs, and more

 Hollywood-This town is always echoing with the walls of allegedly miscast and mistreated people = dancers who aren't allowed to dance, comedians who are made into heavies, romantic types cast as weddings. But aA one of several singers who haven't been allowed to sing, Ray Middleton Is perfectly satisfied.
 Maybe he won't mind warbling a little after he's better established in pictures. Or perhaps, like Wal ter Pldgeon, another original vocal ist whom he somehow resembles, Middleton may become completely disassociated with musicals.
 Right now, anyway, the tall, zestful gent realizes, perhaps better than anyone else in Hollywood, the danger of being typed ct the outset as a singer. As a straight actor, he's happily making his fourth pic- ture for Republic.
 GRADUATE OF "ROBERTA
 He's a graduate of the University of Illinois, and also of that phen- omenal talent-showcase, the musical Roberta, which did so much for Bob Hope, George Murphy and the late Lyda Roberti, Movie companies were especially clamorous for the services of Middleton. He took l3 screen tests and had signed con- tract with RKO when the show fi- nally closed on Broadway In 1883. But then he was persuaded to 90

 Middleton went into concert work, then to the St. Louis Opera company, sang at the Central City, Colorado, summer festival, and joined the Chicago Opera company in 1886. He also toured as soloist with the Philadelphia Symphony.
 Presently he had choice pf zoe ing to the Metropolitan or of com ing to Hollywood for. Paramount Frank Lloyd wanted him for "The vagabotld King" 80 he decided to try movies.
 As most of them do, Middleton arrived in great furry, with last minute orders to fly to Hollywood and report to William LeBaron at Ii a. m., Monday, March IT, 1887. And then, as so often happens, he turned into an expert thumb twiddler.
 He still remembers the misgiv- ings with which he begged leave to 90 home to Chicago over Christmas They told him to take as long as he liked. There was another period of three months during which he never even entered the studio. A check arrived by mail each Friday. LINCoLN-75O TIMES
 When he couldn't stand it any longer, Middleton got his release and fled to Broadway-to "Knicker- booker Holiday" Q Scandals" |" American Jubilee" and radio shows. He was doing more and more dramatic stuff, less and less singing. At the Worlds Fair, for 750 performances, he impersonated Abraham Lincoln and recited the Gettysburg address. Did Q Lincoln program on the air, too.
 A screen test which he once had made for Paramount was seen by Republics president, Herbert J. Yates, and brought him another screen offer - this time as an &C., tor, and with an absolute guarantee that he'd be kept busy. And busy he is. Currently, in Lady for a Night" he plays sympathetic sui- eide in a story about & showboat- but doesn't sing Q note. After this, he'll be Q hero and Q star.

STATE

If you intend to see Sergeant York" starring Gary Cooper cur- rently at Warmers State theater you'll have to hurry as performances Saturday evening positively con clude its engagement. Hailed by critics from coast to coast Sergeant York" is one of the greatest pictures of the year and features Joan Les lie and Walter Brennan at the head of supporting cast of thousands.
 And then starting Sunday the State ushers another smash new season show with the comedy TO- nance New York Town" as the headliner of the bill.
 For some unknown reason, most of Hollywood's pictures dealing with the metropolis have persisted in casting their main characters as gangsters, members of the 400" overstuffed business tycoons, dubble dancers and everything else in the books except the real men and wo- men who make up the majority Of the city's S,0oo,oo0 inhabitants.
 According to advance Hollywood reports, the producers have crammed just as much drama, romance and excitement into the film with their meaty middle class. characters as any that glorify the upper or lower crust.
 Against Q background of typical apartment house, the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, crowded thor oughfares, a department store and the other ordinary things which are part of New Workers daily routine, the story centers around Mary Mar tin, Q small girl who was too proud to go back home after her money gave out.
 MacMurray takes the part of a sidewalk photographer who has a angle on everything but love while Robert Preston providing the third part of the romantic triangle, plays the man about town.
 The all-star supporting cast h. ciudes Akim Tamiroff, Lynne Over man. Eric Blore and Fuzzy Knight.
