STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers State theater is the comedy thriller Larceny, Inc.," starring Edward G. Robinson with Q large cast of fa- vorites, also "Obliging Lady" with Joan Carroll and Edmond O'Brien heading the featured cast.
 Alfred Hitchcock, long recognized as the master builder of screen sus- pense, had added another impress sive hit to his already extensive list of box ofilce winners with the pre- sentatlon of "Saboteur," opening to- morrow at Warmers State theater for an engagement of four days.
 Co-starring Priscilla Lane and Robert Cummings, who are said to turn in the finest performances of their separate careers, "Saboteur" will probably go down in Hollywood annals not only as an outstanding picture, but for the vital part 1t will play in Uncle Sam's defense efforts.
 For "Saboteur" be 1t known, will perhaps do more to arouse the American public to fifth column perils now existing within this coun- try than anything that has yet been done.
 Based on Hitchcock's own orig final story idea, "Saboteur" provides the famous director with the cor- rect clements for bringing the Hitchcock "touch" into its fullest use. It is 6 picture that will have State patrons gripping their seats from the opening shot to the final "fade."
 Both Miss Lane and Cummings, thoroughly established as stars in the light comedy field, assume new. and greater importance in the cine matic realm as a result of their work in this offering, in which they give delft etching to tragivally dramatic characterizations.
 Norman Lloyd, Broadway stage character actor making his cam era debut in "Saboteur" is said to turn in brilliant performance while other outstanding portrayals are those of Otto Kruger, Alan Baxter, and Clem Bevans.
 Highnghted by @ thrilling chase across thirteen states, "Saboteur" comes to a sensational close with a battle between Cummings and Lloyd on the arm of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, in which Lloyd falls to his death. Leading up to the climax is in exciting dash through the crowded auditorium of Radio City Music Hall, where Lloyd stays three persons in his efforts to escape the police.
 "Juke Box Jenny" with Ken Mur- ray, Harriet Hilliard and Charlie Barnett and his orchestra is the second hit.

Charges that Edward Baummer one time candidate who was un- successful for the Democratic nomi- nation for warden of Naugatuck, has entered in Ideal" by indorsing the Republican nominee for Congress Joseph E. Talbot in the coming spe- cial election on Jan. 20, were made by Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston who is candidate on the American Progressive ticket.
 1 MT. Ryan said he had proof of the existence of this deal in state- ment published by MT. Baummer. The American Progressive candi- date quoted 8 sentence which MT Baummer is allegedly said to have made.
 T have been active in Comsr. Tal- bots behalf in Waterbury and find among many persons considered solid Democrats a steadily growing sentiment for the election of the Naugatuck resident"
 MT. Ryan went on to say that the implication in those words, usually considered solid Democrats should be studied. The Thomaston candi- date said, Tt is strange thing one can find so much sentiment for a Republican among usually consid- cred Democrats"
 Referring to the collision of the paid politicians and ward heelers, Ryan said they would tell our peo- pie to vote for one of these men (Talbot or John s. Monagan) and have our people give their approval tc this kind of political scheme" MT. Ryan then pointed out "the politi- clans are out to make kill and the public can go hang"
