STATE

The stars of "The Maltese Falcon" (remember it) return to the State theater today in another adventure thriller, Warner Bros. s Across the Pacific. Reuniting Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Green street and Director John Huston, Across the Pacific" pits Bogart against a ruthless band of would-be Jap saboteurs who plan the destruc- ton of the Gatun Locks of the Pan- anna Canal.
 The short, crisp and sophisticated dialogue between Bogart and Astor, coupled with the unique but dan gerous situations set up by Green street, make Across the Pacific" even more exciting and more enter taining than was ''The Maltese Falcon. In addition this film has a much more timely setting; one that can't help but interest every one - the Panama Canal Zone.
 Bogart plays the role of an Army Captain, who, as far as everyone but a select few are concerned, is dis honorably discharged from his post. Actually he leaves to perform a secret mission.
 He boards the Genoa Maru," a freighter bound for Yokohama, by way of New York, Panama, and Hon. olulu. On board Bogart meets an attractive young woman passenger, played by Mary Astor, and they are almost immediately attracted to each other. Also on board is one Dr. H. 0. Lorenz, played by Sydney Greenstreet, who becomes very friendly with Bogart, especially when he learns that Humphrey has a surprising knowledge of military affairs regarding the Canal Zone
 The film Is packed with action and once again State patrons will find that same Maltese Falconish' succession of fist fights, gun duels, suspense and cracking dialogue.
 Meet the Stewards" a comedy hit that will have you rolling in the
 isles, is the second big treat of the program and co-stars William Hol- den and Frances Dee with a notable supporting cast.
 Don't forget. !. Yankee Doodle Dandy" begins its engagement at the State Wednesday and on Thurs day you have another date with Dave Elman in the second of his Victory Auctions" which will be conducted from the stage of the State every Thursday at 8:30 p. m and broadcast over WATR.

STRAND

The Strand opened today with two first run, first Waterbury showing, features. Topping this double blast of entertainment is fast moving Army camp film titled Top Ser geant." It's a drama within a drama of one Uncle Sam's huge Army camps brought to the screen with sock. punch and speed, and expertly portrayed by Leo Carrillo, Andy Te- vine, Don Terry and Elyse Knox. The story about "Top Sergeant" re- wolves about Carillo and Devine, a couple of old time non-coms, when an underworld rat tries to pin the blame upon them for murder of sev- eral soldiers. During war games maneuvers, a bridge which suppos- edly is to be demolished with fuse powder, actually is dynamited by the gangster. One of the brightest moments of this film is the refresh- ing, warm appeal of pretty Elyse Knox, Americas Favorite Maga- zine Cover Girl"
 The second thrill hit Yukon Pa tron," features Allen Lane, Robert Strange, Lita Conway and Herbert Rawlinson. Defense of Canada against sabotage is the theme of the timely film. The problem of defend ing canada's vast north country from infiltration tactics on the part of foreign agents and saboteurs is effectively depicted. The film is grippingly presented and suspense is maintained throughout as the northwest mounties track down the enemies in . chase that takes them across thousands of miles Of wild country.

 But even If it's a big job in Canada 1t would be tougher still in Hollywood, so Cowan is going to keep his cast and crew up there until the last scene Is shot. That will make it the first movie ever to be completely filmed on loca- tion.
 REEL REALISM
 The region was chosen for several reasons, chief one being that the bays and inlets of the island are the best possible scenic doubles for the coast of Norway, where the story is laid.
 Besides" said the producer Hollywood extras never could have given us anything like the realism we're getting up there. The best movie stunt man couldn't put on a fight like Canadian soldier who has gone through the Commando school. They run those boys through barbed wire and mud pits; they shoot live ammunition over their heads and throw thunder flashes al their feet when they slow up. The men acquire such a furious fighting spirit that they'd likely kill any thing that got in their way. don't get in their way!"

NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE
NOW NEEDED TO GET JOB

1t has been ruled by the War
Manpower Cmomission that birth
certificates shall no longer be re
quired OF an applicant for en-
ployment on any secret, conf
Dental or restricted contract. A
simple signed statement by the
applicant that he is a U. S. citi-
zen will be sufficient.
The fact is, and the War and
Navy departments found it out
long ago, that many states were
rather late in beginning to keep
vital statistics. And in several
states records have been lost.
The result was that many men
whose ancestors had been in this
country for many generations
could not furnish birth certifi-
Gates and could not get work
no matter how badly they need
ed it. To meet that situation cen
sus bureau records have been
accepted, but the bureau was
swamped with more than $4,000
requests a week.
Under the new ruling, the
door is not opened wide to fifth
columnists. The applicant must
make his statement of citizenship
in the presence of an army or
navy representative, and he
must also sign a statement that
he has read and understands the
penalties for disappearing his
status. That penalty may amount
to $4,000 fine and five years
in prison.
