STATE

Sergeant York" the new War ner film currently at Warmers State starring Gary Cooper with Joan Leslie, Walter Brennan and a large cast, has received much favorable comment from localities since its opening last Saturday. Everyone agrees that this Is the type of vital film biography which maks excellent screen fare and the thousands who have seen 1t over the weekend cheered and applaud cd the film at the final fade-out.
 The reason for all the Sergeant York" talk in Waterbury today is clear, the picture has everything a great cast, a powerful story, time liness and 8 down-to-earth, homely philosophy. Gary Cooper plays the role of Alvin c. York, the young fell-raising farmer of the Cumber- lands who Is persuaded by his friend Pastor Pile, played by Walter Bren- non, to mend his ways. Later, when York is drafted, he is so reluctant to do any killing that he claims to be a conscientious objector.
 One of the officers, played by Stanley Ridges, shows him the fal- lacy of his thoughts by explaining how this country would be threat ened if everyone reasoned that way. York forgets his objections to fight ing and becomes the World Wars greatest heiN by bringing i'll 132 German prisoners practically single handed.
 Others in the splendid cast of "Sergeant York" are charming Joan Leslie, the rioutously comic Gecgge Tobias, Margaret Wycherly of "Tobacco Road" fame, Ward Bond, Noah Beery, Jr,, and many more popular players.
 sergeant York" Is definitely one picture you must" see, Put it at the top of your list and plan to see 1t today at Warmers State theater.
 Ia addition to Sergeant York" the managemnt present a big sur rounding program consisting of an entertaining short subject and the latest news of the day as brought to the screen by Paramount News.

ARMY PRIVATE
 IN TWO MSHAPS

Torrington, Oct. 6-Private Frank Pukas, 25, of 8 Hill Street who is stationed at Camp Blanding, Fla, was arrested in Waterbury Saturday night on a charge of violating rules of the road, and later in the night was involved in a minor collision on Prospect Street, here, with a car operated by Patrick Cyprlano of 18 Glenwood Street, Waterbury. The Torrington accident was reported at Police Headquarters and no investi- gation was made.
 In Waterbury, Private Pukas was reported to be the driver of a car which struck an automobile operat- ed by Mrs. Harold Berger of Sum- init Road, Waterbury, causing the latter machine to hit car operated by Martin Ciriello of 65 St. Joseph's Avenue, Waterbury. The accident occurred on East Main Street at Orange Street.

 the path of more rfough-and -tum- ble adventure.
 In this new frontier gold camp yarn, Gable emerges as Candy" Johnson, a card sharp and would- be political tycoon who makes the mistake of falling in love with a young Boston school teacher who has an extraordinarily strong will of her own. When he makes 1t ap- parent that marriage does not COG incide with his Yukon plan of life, she determines to teach him les- son by tricking him into 8 mar riage on which she immediately turns her back. From there the complications pile up thick and fast, with Miss Turner giving her strong est dramatic performance to date, in a part that offers far more op- portunity for her than even the in- teresting "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Tyde:"
 Few pictures of the year have been given such Stetrling support. ing cast as "Honky -Tonk". Claire Trevor, one of the most striking of Hollywood's Broadway s tag e
 
 laumna,e, has an outing part as a girl wing for Gables affections. Frank Morgan is seen as the kindly hammered but congenitally un- scruplous father of Miss Turner. Marjorie Main, who has been vault. ing to the top of the screen lad der in the Wallace Beery pictures, has another topnotch part, as has Albert Dekker.
