STATE

A timely, inspiring and nerve tingling film, translated into grip- ping drama from yesterdays head lines, began its engagement at Warmers State theater yesterday where the thrilling film "Wake Is- land" headlines the program.
 Brilliantly acted by a first-rate cast, "Wake Leland" irnmortalizes in celluloid the heroisn of that small band of battling Marines who fought on against tremendous Jap odds. It was one of the most valiant stands in Marine Corps history. Wake Is- land" itself must be set down as one of the most compelling pieces of film entertainment the screen has yet given us.
 Among the large cast whose per- formances will long be remembered are Brian Donlevy Robert Preston, Macdonald Caley, Albert Dekker, Walter Abel, Barbara Britton and William Bendix.
 Filmed with the air and cooper ation of the United States Marine Corps, wake Island" begins its thrilling story shortly before the attack on the mid Pacific outpost. We get to know these screen char acters, counterparts of the actual garrison, and to take g vital inter- est in what will happen to them.
 Although we all know the out come beforehand, Wake Island" with its story of individual heroism, its diving planes, its roaring guns, never fails to keep us in its tense grip.
 It is a gerat motion picture in the true sense of the word. Our fighting men are going back to Wake; and you'll be going back to see Wake Island again and again. It's really an unforgettable movie drama and should be right at the top of every ones must" list.

 With Ann Miller, Betty Rhodes, Jerry Colonna, Vera Vague and Johnnie Johnston heading the swell cast "Priorities" is well worth the seeing.

STRAND

Mickey Rooney's new bit, "A Tank At Eton," opened a three day hold-over engagement yesterday at the Strand Theater, and the picture Is being acclaimed as another tri- umph for the inimitable Rooney.
 As typical American boy in England's most exclusive school, Mickey has some of the most hilar- ious scenes of his film career, and some of the most dramatic. He plays football and English cricket. He runs steeplechase. He leads twelve little Eton boys in slapstick brawl with four husby walters of roadside inn. And he licks the Eton bully.
 In short, there isn't much Mickey doesn't do.
 After a few preliminary events in America, and Shipboard romance with Tina Thayer, the action really gets under way in full swing when Mickey arrives in England and is enrolled at Eton, for resolved to dis like his new surroundings, he gets into one scrape after another.
 The big featured part in the pie ture goes to popular Freddie Barth- olomew who portrys the part of Mickey's step-brother.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Highways by Night" with Richard Carlson and Jane Ran dolph. Don't miss this splendid double feature bill while 1t is show ing at the Strand.
