STATE

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagements Of Dorothy La- mour and Jon Hall in the techni- color thriller "Aloma of the South Seas; also Eddie Albert and Jon Hall in Thieves Fall Out"
 Hailed as one of the brightest comedies of the year, My Life With Caroline" Ronald Colmar's new starring vehicle, comes to the screen at the State on Wednesday aS the headliner of the smash screen bill to be enjoyed for three days.
 The film revolves around the case uai rOHnances of e neglected wife and the ingenious strategy by which her husband thwarts her intended elopements and holds his home to- gether.
 Anna Lee, lovely and vivacious 6ritish star, heads the featured cast es the wife, with Charles Winninger as her self -indulgent father and Reginald Gardiner and Gilbert Ro- land as two of her admirers.
 Because of the pressure of bus lness, Anthony Mason can't spend RS much time as he'd like with his wife Caroline. And she, living at various expensive resorts with her pleasure seeking bon vivant of a father, finds herself falling in love with handsome young Inillionaires who have no trouble in convincing her that she's terribly misunderstood and unappreciated.
 At an Idaho ski resort, Caroline has fallen in love with rich young Argentine and is planning to dlvcrce Anthony at once when Anthony ar- wives on the scene.
 Aware of the scheme, Anthony pays assiduous attention to Caro- line and adroitly losses monkey wrenches into the romantic works of the plot, with the result that Caro- line sees the light and is reunited with her understanding spouse.
 The role of the tolerant and corn- pretending Anthony gives Colman one oe his finest parts to date, while Miss Lee, an outstanding favorite on the British screen, makes her Amer ican debut as the vacillating but charming Caroline.
 Winninger also has an excep- tionally good role as the cynical parent, and Gardiner and Roland offer notable characterization as Colman's successive rivals. Katha- rine Leslie, as Miss Lees blase friend; Hugh O'Connell, Murry AL per, and Matt Moore have other important roles in the gay comedy.
 As the second big attraction the management presents "Ice Capades." !"

POLL

When the all-star picture "When Ladies Meet" was first tirnidly sug- gested in Hollywood, producers were apprOhensive. For one thing, few plays existed with multiple roles of equal caliber, and having to reckon with the stars temperments and contracts, the idea was shelved for a while There have been other films like "Grand Hotel" in the past that hoasted of impressive casts, but none lately with the star-power of this Alm, imagine seeing Joan Craw- ford, Robert Taylor, the screens newest sweetheart Greer Carson and Herbert Marshall all in the one film. each and every one of them star in their own right generally featured alone in a film, but ta When Ladies Meet all have been gathered to give you the thrill pM- ture of the season.
 This film Is gayly tangled tsory of romance that Is all tangled up with teh loves and lovers. It Is adapted from the Rachel Brothers stage success, and 1t can be truth fully said that 1t is racier than, philadelphia Story" and far more cattier than '"The Women"

 This film wherever 1t has been shown has proven to be the top drawing film of the past 6 months, lines blocks long have gathered fol its showings, and Waterbury who has proven partial to outdoor epics, in the past will respond for this truly great story.
 The second feature on the pro- gram starting next Friday will be Americas Clown Princess. Judy Ca- nova. in her latest laughing vehi- cle "Puddin Head" and this tal- ented singer, dancer. and actress, does all of the hilarious things that you expect from her in this film.
