of my brief excursions to the hotel for mail, and ] could well imagine how he would expand and lap up that knowledge of having two women dislike one another because of himself.
 "He's a fool" I said. And he's playing with dynamite, too. You'd think he would know enough about women not to deliberately set such a stage. He'll probably get his ears pinned back before his triumphant visits over"
 could hear my own voice say- ing those words when stood beN side Maudie late that night on the path through the little woods near the cottage, and looked down at the body of Herbert Cord. My hand shook so that the flashlight wavered in circles.
 "He got more than his ears pinned back" I whispered. His head was turned so that one ear was doubled over, but more irr1- portant than that was the fact that he was dead and that his body crushed the bed of mint un- der 1t and made the night heavy with the tangy odor.

 If you think Jack Benney is fun- my while on the air, and if you thought he was funny in other screen hits, just wait until you see him dressed in woman's clothes and masquerading as woman, being the recipient of two proposals. It's howl and you can imagine the innumerable laughs that await you ct the Strand Wednesday when "Charley's Aunt" starring Jack Ben- ney opens its engagement.

In Hollywood VI

ing "The Shanghai Gesture" ale ways manages to be the biggest part of his show. Using a loud-speaker, he bawls out players and crew, eil- gages in banter with people all over the set, and thinks nothing of de- laying the whole company while he lectures on various phases of tho dramatic arts.
 HOLY SMOKE!
 Ready to shoot e scene from the top of the camera crane, Won Sternberg noticed Q light haze Of smoke on one side of the room of the gambling casino. Who was re- sponsible for 1t? he demanded, his voice booming down from the raft CTS like the wrath of an Old Test arnent god. The head prop man called the second prop man, who called the smoke man, who came out of 6 door and stood blinking under the brilliant lights. The whisps of smoke long since had drifted away but the Voice went on with its in- quisition.
 The workman said he hadn't had any definite instructions, ex- actly, but the script said the place should be smoky, and he thought
 'Ah, you read the script2" asked the Voice.
 "Yes, sir" squeaked the work man.
 That was Q Inistakel" thundered Won Sternberg.

get too intimate with the summer crowd, but summer folks have a way of nosing in where they're often not welcome, and that was what Herbert Cord did.
 It was three years ago that he had first met Jeanie and what the cottagers thought was just a sum- mer romance began to look like the real thing. Herbert Cord was about 30 big, blond, hale and hearty. He had some kind of busi- ness in the city and he radiated sophistication when he came to the inn for week-ends. Jeanie, alone for weeks, must have looked upon him as someone from a thrilling, fascinating new world. And 1t didn't take him long to sweep her of her feet
 By the second summer everyone took 1t for granted that they were engaged, although old Miss Morris refused to acknowledge that her niece or Cord even knew one an- other. No one knew just what clashes there must have been be- tween Jeanie and her aunt, but Jeanie continued to swim with Herbert Cord, and dance with him at the hall when name-bands played at Round Lake few miles away, and stop in for @ sandwich at the inn evenings. It had all been innocent and typical summer romance style, and the cottagers had been glad to see Jeanie show spunk enough to disobey her aunt.
 But this summer" Maudie con- tlnued, her voice growing more agitated as she unfolded the story, this summer Cord arrived with & girl--a Margie Dixon, and in- troduced her to everyone as his fiancee. or course since no en- gagement was announced between the man and Jeanie I suppose he had a right to change his mind. But to bring her here - the other girl, I mean-and Haunt her right under Jeanie's nose. It's cruel. And it's hurting the child.
 You can see 1t in her eyes" " Maudie said with tears in her own. T saw her look at him last night. They were in the inn when was there, and I guess the girls had met before because Jeanie seemed to know this Margie. Oh, every thing was fine. But you can imag- inc how Jeanie must feel with that girl-and I must say she is good Looking in dark -haired, green-eyed sort of way - hanging on Herbert Cords arm, and acting in that possessive style"

STATE


 Since its opening at Warmers State theater Saturday, Sergeant York;" Warner Bros smash pro- duction starring Gary Cooper, has played to capacity crowds at all performances. According to the management the film has broken all previous attendance records with the result that everyone in Wa terbury and vicinity is talking about this great show.
 Besides a story packed with ex- citement, romance and pathos, Sergeant York" offers a splendid cast. Cooper plays the title role the easy-going sharp shooting Alvin 0. York, who takes a while to think things out--but once he makes up his mind there's no stopping him.
 Joan Leslie, the young starlet who gave such Q grand performance in High Sierra" is cast as a pretty clever and slightly whimsical moun- tain girl with whom York falls in love and later marries. Walter Brennan fresh from his hit por- trayal in Meet John Doe" is again cast with Cooper. He plays the part of Pastor Pile, the one per- son who thoroughly understands York, his moods, his whims and his grievances. George Tobias who has already established himelf as a fine character actor, play the role of subway guard who is drafted and handles German prisoners as he would e carload of Bronx com- nuters. Stanley Ridges plays the part of an army officer who shows York that sometime 1t is necessary to kill in order to 90 on living. Tn addition there is Q large supporting cast of talented players, all of whom contribute the authentic att mosphere of the film.
 Highlighting the film are the war sequences which had week. end audiences sitting on the edges of their seats. Thee sequences are said to be unparalleled, and rival war sequences from any other film. Opposed to these thrilling moments are the tranquil scenes showing Alvin York's life in Tennessee, and the metamorphosis from renegade to Q soldier-hero.
 Undoubtedly the films greatest sequence is that one delineating York's capture of l32 Germans. The feat remains in war annals as one of the most amazing of It's kind.
 All in all Sergeant York" is one picture that you definitely must see." Visit the State today--there's s plenty of seats, but we advise at- tending the early matinees.

 Hollywood-All over the lot: A dogs life in the movies is getting tougher all the time. Trainer Henry East, who owns 51 canine actors, says that scripts call for increasing ly difficult stunts. He believes scen- artists have been seeing too much of Walt Disney's Pluto on the screen and that they expect to achieve the same comedy effects with feal dogs.
 You'd be surprised, he said, at the number of screen plays that call for dogs to register complicated emotions In their faces. And I can show you a scene in one script" he declared, "that says, Tine dog jumps on the table and claps his hands in glee'l
 Tn The Shadow of the Thin Man, Asta was supposed to stag ger off q merry-go-round, lean against fire plug for a moment and then open one eye like q shuddering drunk Typical Dis ney stuff. Or dizzy. We finally got it, after fashion, by using slow motion to make him look like a dizzy dog walking care- fully"
 I saw East, with Whiskers, an- other member of his kennel, on the Joan of Paris" set. WhiskerS is . head cocker - and don't mean cocker spaniel--of undistln- guished ancestry. T started to use him as G. mean dog because he has a good snarl," said the trainer. "But he has an appealing habit of tilting his head and look ing sort of quizzical, so that's what he does now"
 Whiskers' joh for the day was to betray the hiding place of c British flyer behind a curtain in 0 Paris cafe. That would be Q cinch. Henry East was relieved to learn that the pooch wouldn't be expected to tap out Q code message or hum God Save the King"
 GIN-RUNMY IN MALAYA
 The gin-rummy craze is still ocs cupying Hollywood, even on the sets where actors and actresses might better be studying lines. Tn the Ma laya" jungle Dorothy Lainour and Richard Denring were playing 1t and no paying any attention to Di- rector Al Santell's preparation for Q scene. Only the elephant, Mobuk, was ready, and santell made a lit- tie speech about 1t. '"rhis is my favorite actor,". he said, "the only member of the whole company who isn't playing gin-rumIny when | want 'em for the camera. I under- stand they taught the chimpanzee to play 1t yesterday, but I want to say that I won't tolerate any such corruption of this elephantl"

Gordon and he's been here for years. A native I guess you'd call him. But not farmer, definitely. And then Miss Morris told me about the bread woman too"
 "Oh. you've met her?'
 "Yes, and so should you. She'd be q lesson in what not to become, She's a gplrster."
 I let that left-handed compli- ment go by. Maudie didn't have much use for G3hool teachers as whole, and whenever I used the heavy hand to squelch some Of her activities she would use the SpinSter threat in return.
 T bet that pretty niece Of hers doesn't have much fun stuck Up here with her all summer" she added. Her name'S Jeanie, like Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair, and her hairs light brown, too, and her eyes are blue. She's young about 20 - and If she doesn't kick over the traces pretty soon Miss Millie will turn her into a tight-lipped old maid.'
 "ItS none of your business and don't 90 trying to educate the child" said firmly. Maudie's flair for taking people in hand and for introducing the romantic note Is well known to all Of us.
 i've no intention of putting in," she said with great dignity, and marched to the Kitchen to eat the piece of chocolate cake I had passed by at lunch. I didn't hear any more local gossip for two days, but I noticed that Maudie was away a lot. What with going to the inn for mail, driving with a reighbor to the bread woman's for home made cinnamon buns and date-fllled cookies, and re- duclng her waistline by rowing the boat in circles around the lake, We didn't seem to have mu:h op- portunity for talk.
 "It,s a disgrace" she said that evening after bringing me the papers from the inn. "1ts a disgrace the way that man acts. Bringing his hancee right here under Jeanie Morris nose"
 "All right" I said, Tets have it." once I'd thought I was in love, and so by the time she had told me the story was feeling as Maudie felt, Jeanie Morris lived with her aunt, Miss Millie, about a quarter of a mile from us down the lake. Miss Millie had raised Jeanie, and summers were always spent in the big white house of by itself. Probably Miss Millie never intended Jeanie to

Expertly blending fast-paced ad.. venture with an unconventionaal romance, Metro Goldwyn- Mayors "F7onky Tonk," which opened Eric day at the Loew Poll Theater, pres ents Clark Gable and Lana Turner in the starring roles.
 This rip-snorting story of e west ern gold camp, with its .backdrop of an unusual romance, seemed to leave a unanimous first-night iIn- pression that the initial teaFning of Gable and Turner had produced the outstanding emotional adven- ture story of the year.
 Gable, in the new story, appears as 0 fascinating card sharp with political ambitions. His part pro- vides chance to use to best advan- tage some of the swashbuckling characteristics that helped make such fine entertainment of "Gcne With the Wind" and Boom Town" while Miss Turner plays a dramatic part that gives her a chance to ex- eel even "ziegfeld Girl" and "Dr Jekyll and MT. Hyde"
 The story moves swiftly through 6 deftly blended pattern of amusing and exciting incidents in which Gable is run out of one camp after another to finally make his last stand in Yellow Creek, where he not only fleeces the citizens but bat ties for the states highest politlcel offices. He fights with six-shootini implements and rapier-keen wi against his enemies and besiegeI Miss Turner in one of the most unusual courtships of the cinematit year.
 One of the factors that helps maintain uninterrupted interest from start to finish is an outstand- ing supporting cast, including Frank Morgan, Claire Trevor, Marjorie Main and Albert Dekker.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Man At Large" an ex- citing thriller featuring Marjorie Weaver and Q grand supporting cast.
 An Early Bird Show for defense workers is presented every Satur- day morning at the Loew Poll Theater. The complete double fea- ture bill is presented and there is no raise in prices.
