STRAND

The Strands current screen offer ing of two first run, first Waterbury showing features is eliciting naught but favorable comments. Headlining this double treat of entertainment is Moonlight Masquerade" a mus ical comedy laden with new tunes featuring Dennis O'Keefe, Jane Fra zee, Betty Kean, Eddie Toy, Jr., and Erno Verebes. The story envolves two people who share one third inter- est in an oil company, portrayed by Dennis OKeefe and Jane Frazee, who must marry each other within a specified time to make the inher- itance of oil interests valid. The well faced story is cleverly interspersed with moments, but delightful, of vocalising, dancing and comedy.
 "A Yank Tn Lybia," featuring Walter Woof King, H. B. Warner Joan Woodbury, Duncan Renaldo and Parkyakarkus, the one time ace comedian of Eddie Cantor's shows is the second thrilling hit on the same program.
 The weekly amateur conests will again be presented on the Strand stage this Friday evening at 8:30 Strictly fun and entertainment is the theme of these events. Vocalists comedians, irstrumentalists an comedians, all combine to make the program an outstanding hour oi pleasure. Those desiring to enter the contests may do so by registering with the manager of the Strand.
