the raw can be seen on the screen of The Strand theater starting to- morrow for a four day engagement, for the picture "Pituri," a first run, first Waterbury showing feature, is actually the recording of the lives of the Australian Aborigines and tells of their loves, their dances, their feastings, their wive stealings, their use of evil drugs and their battles. Interwoven with the story of these natives are a series of fast moving incidents involving kid- mapped authoress, two rival dope rings, the white chief of a black tribe, a black killer, Eurasian enchantress and a quest for rubies.
 While this seems lot for one movie to have, this picture is an exception to the rule and has every thing including some of the most beautiful shots ever made of na- lures wonders. The story tells of an ambitious authoress looking for new material for a novel. She falls into the hands of Renegade Afghan, the head of ring of dope runners whose nefarious trade con- sists of exchanging the dread "Pituri'' drug, the worlds oldest love potion, for the natives valuable tortoise shell. Brought by the Afghan before the strange white ruler of black tribe, she is drawn to him, not by the force of love, but for protection as the Afghna and the native customs frightened her.
 A triangle develops when the Eurasian girl, Jealous because of the advent of the white girl, puts the pituri drug. into the girls food. With this drug racing through her veins, she forces herself upon the white chief, who spurns her, as he hates drugs and desires to do away with the drug rings. He Is unwittingly aided by his enemy, Moopil, black killer, who murders several of the rings operatives. A happy ending makes fitting climax to the story as the killer meets his just deserts, and the opium rings find themselves in the hands of the law. The girl learning that the white king has the instincts of white man, goes into the final clinch with him.
 For further entertainment, the Strand will present Gallant Lady" as the second feature on the pro- gram. featuring Sidney Blackner and Rose Hobart.

MEN OF TEXAS
 NEXT AT STATE
Deviltry and Romance of Civil War Days Theme of
 Film Opening Sunday

Performances tomorrow evening at the air conditioned State theater conclude the engagements of Ann Sheridan and Dennis Morgan in Wings For The Eagle" also Regis Toomey in Bullet Scars"
 One of those ever-appealing, full blooded romantic adventure pictures will be in the offing for State pa- irons over the week -end when Men of Texas" makes it's debut at that theater for an engagement of three days, starting Sunday.
 According to reports 1t is a film designed to please every type of audience. Sure-fire dramatic ele- ments have been skillfully blended to amplify the excitement and run ming suspense.
 The list of headline personalities in the cast might guarantee the merit of almost any picture. In this picture, which is based on the decil- try and romance of post Civil War days in the Lone Star State, the players are unusually effective.
 Foremost in the group are Rob- ert Stack, Brod Crawford and Jackie Cooper. Stack portrays the Chicago newspaper reporter assigned to cover disturbances in the teeming southwest. Crawford appears as a masquerading bandit and young Cooper is seen as the innocent vic- tim of renegade's bullet.
 Miss GWynne has the role of a southern belle in sharp contrast to the hard-boiled night club chlorine she recently portrayed in Broad way. Ralph Bellamy wears the un- form of Union Major while Jane DarWell and Leo Carrillo have dis tinctly memorable assignments.
 In addition to it's warm dramatic depth, "Men of Texas" has all the sweep and impresSiveness of "the wide open spaces" and contains more than the average amount of fast running action.

NEW TARTAN FILM
 AT POLI'S TODAY
UnciviIized King of Jungle Starred in "New York
 Adventure"

Intriguingly different from the former Tarzan pictures, "Tarzans New York Adventure" now showing at the Loew Poli theater, presents the uncivllized king of the jungles battling the thrills and dangers of civilization in the midst of the roar ing activities of New York. Johnny WeiSSmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield desert their jungle for civilization in what proves to be their most thrilling adven- ture.
 Weissmuller presents 8 new Tar gan as, in civilized garb, he swings on power wires, scales buildings, dives from the "big top" of a cir- GUS tent and stages other thrills. Miss O'Sullivan as Jane wears elab- crate gowns in the New York se- quences. Johnny Sheffield shows his prowess with animals, with Buli and other elephants and circus lion act Cheeta, the chimpanzee, provides hilarious moments both in the jungle and New York, to which place she accompanies the jungle pair.
 On the same program is another smash hit, one of the comedy sen-. sations of the current season, "The Magnificent Dope" starring Don Ameche, Henry Fonda and Lynn Bari at the head of a roster of stars.
 Here is truly one of the biggest double hit shows yet presented this season, so make your plans now to be here.
 Wednesday and Thursday on our stage, we are presenting the biggest all-colored show ever presented any where at anytime. Heading the list of stars appearing here in person this week is the king of the tap dancers, Bill Robinson, while other big names include Benny Carter and his Band coming direct from the Savoy-PlaZa ballroom, Tommy and Hutchie sensational tapsters of in- ternational fame, Otto Eason, and many others. On the screen will be picture as timely as today's very headlines, MT. V" starring Leslie Howard. There will be four stage performances daily, at 1:20, 400, 6:30 and goo.

 So the next day they put him in Spitfire. Gosh, Pop, I never saw so many dials in my life" Red wrote. T didn't dare ask what they were for. But I took the Splitter up high again, and they let me join the RAF."
 Shorty Keough got in, too, and he and Red fought through the Battle of Britain. The day Red got his first Jerry bomber he wrote, T almost made hell of mistake, Pop; went in too fast and had to slow down before squirted him." Quite lot of American volun- teers were coming over, and the RAF formed separate outfit of these youngsters. It was the Eagle Squadron, and Red and Shorty were the charter members.
 During one of their patrols, in February, 1941, the Eagles tangled with flock of Messerschmitts and Keough didn't come back. Red got
