STRAND

Now curernt at the Strand the ater and continuing through to- morrow is the biography of the most famous soldier of the last war, one of the most pleasing pictures of the year and with the male star who was given the signal honor of being selected for the Academy Award for 194l, the virile he-man star Gary Cooper, who gives in Sergeant York" his usual high grade per- formance.
 This film has everything neces- sary for entertainment, stars, drama, romance, excitement @ fascinating story and beautiful settings and with its impressive cast of stars in support of Gary Copper and which include Joan Leslie in the leading female role, Walter Brennan as Pastor Pile, whose homespun philos- ophy becomes York'S creed, other stars in important roles are George Tobias, Stanley Ridges and Mar garet Wycherly.
 In addition to the superb feature offering the management have se- cured the pick of short subjects all combining to make a film program that leaves nothing to be desired in the entertainment line.
 Wednesday will bring to the screen of the Strand a double fea- ture program, with a roster of stars, that reads like the who's who of Hollywood.
 The first feature on the program will be Spencer Tracy and Kath- erine Hepburn, in what has and is still being proclaimed as the best film of the year, woman of the Year" and this duo of popular stars are ably supported by such other favorites as Fay Bainter and Reg inald Owen.
 Tracy, always favorite plays an entirely different role in this film than you have seen him in, as the husband of a. famous newspaper woman who thinks that he should work while she continues in her scramble the eggs and do the house career, all this goes along until she receives the title of "America's Out standing Woman of the Year." then Tracy sees red and starts working, his methods of bringing his mar rlage to @ natural state will con- vulse you, but it all works out O. K. at the end.

Dial Doir1gs
BY HARRY RoBAToR

Broadcasting is important, and be- comes more important to the nation every day. And not the least of its accomplishments is its coverage of the news. I think we have grown SO accustomed to the newscasts that we now take them for grantedl We merely accept them as something that will be there whenever we hap pen to click the switch on our radio. Just as we no longer appreciate the 1aithfulness of our paper-boy, the milkman, the cop on the beat and, of course, friend-wifel
 News while 1t is news"! is the sign-on of the Yankee Network News Service. And that, in general, epito- mizes the service that all the oroadcasters offer. For a mere turn or the dial you have at your finger tips entertainment, education and servicel Views on the hour, every hour"l
 I sometimes wonder if we would be engaged in the current maelstrom or conflagration of the world of 1918 had had the opportunity to tune in on the last world wars peace con- terences. Perhaps if there had been radio reporters on the scene to flash the news of any and all proposals, as they were advanced to the peace commission, there would have been no second world warI Perhaps if we the people, had known all the facts, we would have insisted on our sayl And perhaps, if that was true, this nation would have arisen, as one man, to voice its complete approval Of President Wilson's fight for free- 1om and equality for all-instead of for one or two powerful empires, Perhaps the successful" conclusion of the last war would have been successful!
 However, that is now water under the well-known bridge, as some in- tellectual wizard once said. The point In question now is winning the war.

It is rather premature to plan the next world peace conference. But when that comes, we firmly believe that our radio reporters will be there, on the spot, to tell the people just what is transpiring, to interview the confereesl It is, of course, quite absurd to think or say that the broadcasters = no more than the newspaper--wiJ1 have anything to do with the peace when it comes. But they will report the news as 1t hap pens. And thus the peace planners will have the man-on- -the -street at the conference in spirit. And per- haps with the ordinary guy there, the next peace will be lasting peacce.

In The Local TheQteTS
STATE

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagements of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Bella Lugosi, Lionel At- will, Ralph Melamy and Lon Chaney in "The Ghost Of Frank enstein"; also Nat Pendleton and Anne Gwynre in "Jail House Blues
 Starting Wednesday the State ushers in an all request program . two giant hits brought back to the theater-going public of this vi- cinity by popular demand.
 Headlining the program is "The Kennel Murder Case" bringing Will liam Powell back to the screen at the State as Philo Vance the fam ous detective created by s. s. Van Dine.
 Powell made some of his first great screen successes in the role of this character and "The Kennel Murder Case" is considered the most baffling and thrilling picture of all s. s. Van Dine stories in which Powell has starred.
 The action is swift moving, start ing with the murder of & prize Scottie and involving the staying of two men and the attempted mur der of third. Mystery piles upon mystery as Philo Vance unravels the crimes in which seven suspects have both the opportunity and the mo- tive for the killings.
 There is more of romance in the underlying theme than the usua detective story, including a love af- fair between the niece of the mur. dered men and titled englishmar as well as a clandeStine affair, and a mad infatuation on the part of the uncle for his ward.
 Playing in support of Powell are Mary Astor as his leading lady, Eu- gene Palette as Sergeant Heath, a role he has played previously with Powel, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vim son, Jack LaRlle and many others.
 And on the same show is another big request hit "The Gambling Lady" starring Barbara Stanwyck with Pat O'Brien and Joel McCrea.
 Remember this program Is sched- uled for three days only, so put it right at the top of your must" list and be sure to attending the open ing performances Wednesday at the State.
 Coming Saturday is the big show you've been awaiting. It's the start of the States big parade of spring time hits namely The Male Ami nal" with Henry Fonda and Olivia de HaWlland in co-starring roles.
