JOE HOWARD TO
 STAR IN REVUE
Gay Nineties Come to Life at New Haven Arena,
 March IS and 10

"Wow, what cornW That's what some of the youngsters scream when they hear Joe Howard, star of the Gay Nineties Revue which will play at the New Haven Arena on March IS and 10. Brought up on a diet of mares eat oats" and other such dittieS, the lovely and romantic melodies of another area may sound "corny" to them. But It only takes a little time for them to realize, as did their fathers and mothers, and grandfnthers and grandmothers, that this is real music.
 Howard, 77 years old, has been in show business since he was H. He has produced shows and written more than 500 songs-all of them published. At the age of 63, after losing Q million and a half dollars he made a comeback on the Gay Nineties tunes and wherever he and his company-including balled singer Lillian Leonard the Gay Nineties Quartet, the Florodora Girls, and comedians Shaw and Lee appear they have played to big and appreciative audiences.
 The show will be presented first on the evening of March l8. On March i9 there will be a matinee at 3 o'clock and an evening per" formance at 8:30.

THE PURPLE HEART OPENS AT STRAND
Widely Acclaimed Film on Treatment of American
 Prisoners Starts Today

"The Purple Heart" the new sen sational hit, starts today at the Strand theater. The picture Is based on the inhuman Japanese treatment perpetrated on our Am- erican prisoners, thus confirming whatever doubts the American pub lie might have as to the existence of harbarism in Japan. The story briefly is of eight American flyers forced down in Jap-controlled Chi na after they had bombed Tokyo. They are taken by the puppet Gov ernor of the province to the Jap anese authorities, charged with murder, tried by a civil court in- stead of being prisoners of war. The evidence that our flyers bombed hospitals and "Shrines' is faked from Japanese earthquake motion pictures. During the most gro- tesque trial" scene imaginable to us, who do not live in Japan, our men were tortured and finally all sentenced to death-tortured be- cause they would not reveal to the high muck a-mucks of the Army, the Navy and to the court" wheth- CT or not their bomber came from a carrier. If it had, heavily bemedalled officer of the Navy

Ending tomorrow evening at War nerS State theater is None Shall Escape with Marsha, Hunt, Alex ander Knox, Henry Travers and Eric Rolf; also Larceny With Mu- sic" featuring Allan Jones and Kit ty Carlisle. An extra added attrac- tionS is With the Marines at Ia rawa" produced in techncolor by the U. s. Government and photo- graphed by the Combat Photo graphers of the second Marne Div iSion.
 One of the most intriguing mys- tery dramas to be brought to the screen in the age of sound accord ing to reports Is the novel produc- ton Phantom Lady which head lines the weekend program start ing Sunday at Warmers State the ater.
 "Phantom Lady with Q superb cast headed by Francho Tone, Ella Raines and A'ln Curtis, is in no sense Horror film, nor is 1t just another "whodunit" of the cops and criminals pattern. It is, rather, a highly ingenious tale dealing with the obstacles to justice often pre- scented by chance, circumstance and human psychology.
 The story develops tremendous suspense as 1t unfolds, and Is en- hanccd further In entertainment value by virtue of the truly cXcel- lent performances of Tone, Miss RaineS and Curtis, To a high de- gree the same may be said of the principal supporting players, includ- ing Thomas Gomez, Fay Helm, Ell sah Cook, Jr,, Regis Toomey, the veteran Andy Tombey and Joseph Crehan.
