Complete with twelve songs, six new
ones and six old favorites and film
ed entirely in technicolor Dixie"
brings to the screen the great min
strel shows of the old south.
This is the first time Hollywood
has undertaken to reproduce the
kind of entertainment that thrilled
America in the 1905 and the film
tells the romantic story of how the
Virginia Minstrels came to be form
ed by Den Smmett, the man who
wrote the song.
Bing plays -'mmett and, according
to those who have viewed the film,
does the best singing and acting
job of his career.
And for your further enjoyment
the management presents High
explosives with Chester Morris and
Jean Parker in leading roles.
It's on the way! Deanna Durbins
newest screen sensation Hers To
Hold" is coming to the State next
Wednesday.
According to advance reports
Hers To Hold" is one of the years
most significant romantic dramas
and presents Joseph Gotten as
Deanna's news leading man.
Deanna, it is declared, has the
best role Of her remarkable screen
career.
She appears as a debutante who
goes to work in war industry and
finds romance as well as the sat-
isfaction of serving her country.
Charles Winninger, Evelyn Ankers
and Gus Schilling have outstand-
ing roles in the impressive cast.
Get Going with Robert Paige,

STRAND

Screen lovers get strange assign
ments to these days, but George
Montgomery, who had to propose to
lovely Betty Cradle in boardwalk
cafe for their latest picture. "Coney
Island, is pretty sure he set some
sort of all-time record.
Montgomery's cafe proposal comes
in a scene from the new Goth Cen
tury-Fox Technicolor musical now
playing at the Strand Theater
While the men at the bar are sound
ing off with who Threw the Over
alls in Mistress Murphy's ChoWder,"
the side-show bankers are beckon-
ing one and all to come in and view
their monstroSities, band is playing
off-key and dancers do the Coney
version of the Notwithstanding in
the background, George is supposed
to be making the most important
decision of his life-proposing to
blonde Betty. And as if the bizarre
surroundings weren't enough, he has
to ask her to marry him in the

can take his ship to Cuba, encount-
ers Dorothy selling tickets for a
charity ball her organization is CIV
ing. The gambler sees his chance
and puts on a whirlwind campaign
to induce the War Reliefers to let
him operate concession at the ball
neglecting, of course to tell them
that he intends to run off with en-
tire proceeds.
Dorothy turns the whole scheme
down cold, and Joe has to put on an
act and apply little romance be-
fore she consents. UnaTare that
Uncle Sam is on his trail and that
one Of his pals is planning to dou-
BILE cross him, Joe gets ready to
trim the War Relief patrons, when
fate socks him right between the
eyes and brings him to an abrupt
realization Of what ne is doing.
Repentant, Joe decided to run the
thing on the level, after all, but his
greedy pals don't see it that way.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-31

The result is stirring dramatic
climax that bring matters to an I'M
expected conclusion, punctuated
with sacrifice ana gum play and
surprises.
Charles Bickford and the new
fi.-d, Alan Carney, are cast as two
of Joe's loyal pals. Gladys Cooper,
Henry Stephenson, Kay Johnson,
Paul Stewart, Erford Gage and
Walter Kingsford have important
supporting roles in the picture.
Keying its plot to modern de
mands for screen-fare that is en-
tertaining as well as up to date
"Mr. Lucky" is an ideal vehicle for
its popular Stars talents.
The second big hit on the pro-
gram is "Yanks Ahoy' with those
two great comedians, William Tracy
and Joe Sawyer and great sup
porting cast headed by lovely Mar
jorie Woodwork. This promises to
be one of the greatest pictures this
team has yet to act in. Don't miss
it.

The two stars, together with Cesar
Romero, share top billing in "Coney

hind the scenes story of life among
the show fold of the famed amuse-
ment resort.
Charles Winninger and Phil Sill

the film, which was directed by
Walter Lang and produced by Will

No one ever tagged Betty Cradle
as a ''pang, zing or Wham girl
and no one ever had to! Betty's
ability and charm needed no title
to publicize them. This doesn't
mean that the luscious blonde hasn't
collected more than her share of til
tles-the kind of titles that spell
popularity and success!
A Walt Disney Revue is also on
the same program in technicolor.

Hollywood finally won Its I'LL with

torrid romantic situations in THE
Constant Nymph." They'll remain
in the picture. But the censors did
succeed in killing all the publicity

as "horizontals." Which reminds

showing of the opposite sex in bed
