In The Local TheaterS
POLI'S

Hal Mcintyre made his Water bury debut on the stage of the Loew Poli theater this afternoon to the applause of capacity filled house. Mcintyre has fulfilled the prophecies made for his success at the time that he left Glen Island Casino, for in his comparatively short stay at the Casino, Mcintyre succeeded in upsetting all the usual standards for determining band popularity. His appearance here this week, to- day and tomorrow, proves to be a real treat for all Waterburians. You can't afford to miss the nations up-and-coming star band of the year.
 Featured with Hal Mcintyre and his famous orchestra is the very lovely Frances Gaynor and the ever popular Jerry Stuart.
 As an extra added attraction on this giant stage bill, the manage ment is proud to present radios top comedian-Joe Howard, direct from the c. B. s. Gay Nineties revue. Other big acts include Paul Swan, direct from the Rainbow Room in New York, and Chuck and Chuckles, aHrlem's sensational dance team.
 These stage shows will be pre- sented both today and tomorrow at 1:20, 400, 6:30 and 800 p. m., so make your arrangements now.
 On the screen Is an outstanding program headed by "Bashful Bache- lor", featuring Lum and Abner in their second screen treat.
 The next attraction coming to the popular Loew Pon theater starting Friday for five-day engagement, is the much talked-of "Her Card board Lover," starring those top stars of Escape, Norma Shearer and Robert Taylor, heading an all- star cast. The supporting cast is headed by George Sanders and Frank McHugh, both of whom al- ways turn in grand performance.
 The second hit on this weekend sensation is "Sleepytime Gal" with that singing and dancing comedi- enne, Judy Canova, at the head of a grand cast.

STATE

One of the most eagerly antici- pated screen events of this or any other year begins today as Ser geant York" starts its local popular price engagement at the air con- ditioned State theater after a whole year of acclaim at advanced prices.
 Gary Cooper is starred in the title role as Americas greatest World War hero. From the day, more than twenty-two years ago that Sergeant Alvin c. York returned from France after his heroic exploit of capturing 132 Germans almost single-handedly, the producers have been endeavoring to get his permis- sion to film the story of his life.
 York refused to "capitaize" on Uncle Sam's uniform, as he put it, until the currtst world crisis made him realize that he would be per- forming timely patriotic service in allowing the story to be told on the screen.
 Alvin York was a farmer down in the Tennessee hill country. Eldest son in 8 fatherles family, he worked hard to cultivate the rather barren soil of his little farm.
 Then came 1917 and the draft. York, deeply religious. was aghast at the thought that he might be called upon to kill, and registered as conscientious objector. He was drafted, nevertheless.
 Yorks expert marksmanship soon made him famous in his regiment. Then, overseas, his division was swept into the bloody battle of the Argonne, and York performed his amazing feat.
 Gary Cooper, whose work in such pictures as MT. Deeds Goes to Town" and Meet John Doe" has made him an outstanding favorite of the American public, does his finest job as Sergeant York, being awarded the Academy Award for his performance in this picture. Walter Brennan and Joan Leslie are featured with the popular star.
 Be sure to see this outstanding picture; you'll see 1t exactly as shown at advnced prices.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Lady Gangster" featuring Julie Bishop and Faye Emerson.
