STRAND

Capacity attendance at Warmers
Strand theater yesterday marked
the opening performances of the
laugh-and-love nit You Belong to
Me" with Barbara Stanwyck and
Henry Fonda in co-starring leads.
You Belong to Me-" is an in
credibly hilarious comedy, partly
because of the pairing of the stars,
partly because OF the badly merry
story, and partly because the stars
and supporting cast is better than
merely good.
A recital of the story could only
hint at the uproarious hilarity en-
gendered by the picture which Is a
comedy of moods and manners.
Fonda is seen as the playboy who
marries a doctor, firm in the inten-
ton Of allowing her to continue her
| practice of medicine. But, when
he discovers half the town Is say
ing "ah" to his bride, he quite
UNDERSTANDABLE becomes bit jeal-
Gus. He fights with her patients
he fights with his bride, he even
fights with himself - and loses
AS the medico, Miss Stanwyck
is equally superb in a role which
calls for a combined seriousness of
purpose and gaiety of expression
which adds much to the hectic
charm of the film.
According to critics "You Belong
to Me" is highly recommended; it's
a film which should take its place
alongside such other delightful
comedies as 1.-The Awful Truth"
MIR. Deeds Goes to Town" and
"You Can't Take It With You"
The major supporting players in
clude Edgar Buchanan, Roger
Clark and Melville Cooper.
Confirm or Deny" co-starring
Don Ameche and Joan Bennett is
the co-feature OF the program.
Coming to the Strand Sunday is
the new TarZan thriller "Tarzan's
Secret Treasure" starring Johnny

turing Maureen O'Sullivan in the
feminine romantic lead. The pic
ture boasts a thousand new Tar

THeaterS


The thermometer scared sky high
yesterday at Warmers State theater
when the new technicolor romance
Bahama Passage" bowed into town.
Featuring those two brilliant stars
who were teamed once before in
Virginia" the blonde Madeleine
Carroll and the equally blonde Stir
ling Hayden, the picture is a ro-
mantle adventure in glamorous
setting.
The picture is based on Nelson
Hayes best-selling novel, "Dildo
Cay" and was filmed on the island
of Salt Cay in the British West
Indies.
According 10 yesterdays audiences
the picture Is grippinug, entertain
ing and romantic motion picture.
Miss Carroll and Hayde mare ideal
ly suited to play opposite each other.
They appear in a film which for
background, story and stars is a
romantic holiday. Bahama Pas
sage" will have the ladies wild
about Stirling, and the men mad
about Madeleine.
The story, briefly, concerns the
goings on when the lovely Ma
deleine, girl who has been around,
comes to the desolate salt-produc-
ing island Of Salt Cay. The island
belongs to Hayden. Madeleine takes
one look at the sun-bronzed Hay
den, and from that moment things
begin to happen. Hayden, whose
freedom OF action is hampered by
the existence Of reluctant wife on
the mainland, is loath to fit into
Madeleine's romantic plans. Blu
Madeleine, who knows her way into
and around a mans heart, proceeds
to move in and take over.
The stars are aided by a grand
supporting cast, including celebrat-
ed actress Flora Robson, Cecil Kell-
away, Leo G. Carroll and Mary An
derson.
All in all Bahama Passage" is
an exciting romance every foot of
the way to the final fadeout. You'll
want to be there at the. begin
ming; you'll be glad you were, at
the end.
Blonde Goes to College" Is the
second hit on the program and fea-
lures Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake
and Larry Sims.
