STATE

Closed today in cooperation with the governments request to save fuel Warner's State theater reopens tomorrow at the usual time with @ spectacular double hit show head lined by Shadow of @ Doubt" co. starring Teresa Wright of "Mrs. Miniver" fame and Joseph Gotten, who is remembered for his excellent performance in "Citizen Kane"
 Shadow of @ Doubt" is Alfred Hitchcock's latest suspense drama. and will unquestionably be listed high in any forthcoming index of outstanding motion pictures. The new film may be said to surpass such previous Hitchcock successes as 'The Thirty-Nine Steps," "The Lady Vanishes," "Rehecca," "Sus- picion" and "Saboteur." ,..
 The new production out-points its predecessors in human, romantic appeal. This has been accomplished by @ very amazing screen play which deals with an average Amer ican town. Instead of modifying the famous Hitchcock suspense, this simple element has nagnified 1t to the nth" degree.
 Remarkably effective casting en- hances the plot. Teresa Wright and John Gotten are the co-stars por- traying respectively @ niece and uncle. The niece idolizes this hand some young uncle despite the mys- terious circumstances attending his arrival on @ visit to the small town family. The niece is the one who tries desperately to shield the fam fly from disgrace when she alone discovers the uncle to be a notorious fugitive murderer. The logical but shocking culmination, as enacted on the screen, is one of the most grip ping cinema moments Of all time.
 Miss Wright's performance Is comparable, If not finer, then her work in "Mrs. Miniver" and Pride of the Yankees" Cotten's difficult portrayal is even more potent than the roles he essayed in "Citizen Kane" "The Magnificent Amber. sons" and Journey Into Fear"
 Foremost in the supporting cast are Macdonald Carey and Patricia Collinge. Others in the distin- guished group include Henry Ira vers, Wallace Ford, Hume Cronyn and Edna May Wonacott.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Behind the Eight Ball." combination Of fun, music and mystery, featuring a tal- ented cast of stars including the Ritz Brothers, Carol Bruce, Dick Foran and Grace Mcdonald.
 Remember, the State is closed all day today and this swell show be- gins its engagement starting tomor- row.

STRAND

There is a wealth of dramatic action in "Cosmo Jones in "The Crime Smasher", the Monogram detective omedy-drama whlcn opened at the Strand today, ana the picture qualities as a thoroughly entertaining film. -
 Richard Cromwell, Gale storm and Edgar Kennedy play important roles in this suspense filled mur- der mystery, but the picture is es- pecially interesting in that 1t marks the screen debut of Frank Graham who created the role of Cosmo Jones and has enacted it each week for the past three years in radio playlets over the Columbia Broadcasting System. Graham's first appearance in motion pictures is completely successful, and the eccentric char acter introduced constitutes a new type of screen detective. The abil- ity of the other three featured players is well known, and all play their parts in 8 manner to sustain their popularity. The films excel- lent cast alSO ulcAuueo GWcu RSh yon, Mantan Moreland, Tristram coffin, Herbert Rawlinson and many others.
 Murder, kidnapping and gunplay are ingredients Of the thrilling story, and the odd little detective finds himself confronted by desper- ate situations as he attempts to uIl. ravel the mystery brought about by the rlvalries of outlaw gangs. There are moments of comedy as the story progresses, but It's main theme is one of swiftly-m0ving excitement.
 Director James Tinllng hes con- tFibuted importantly to the success Of the picture, as has Landsley Par- sons in his capicity of producer. The same may be said Of Walter 0ering, author Of the story, and Michael L. Simmons who wrote the screen adaptation. Mack GtansieTa photography is eiFst-elaaa.
