 mand; Musical Also

Ending tomorrow evening at War ner's State theater is Flesh and Fantasy" starring Charles Boyer, Barbara Stanwyck, Robert Bench ley. Edward G. Robinson and host of her favorites; also Joan Da- wis in Beautiful But Broke.
 Frisco Kid" starring the ever popular James Cagney begins re- turn engagement at the State start ing Sunday for two days. Brought back by popular demand the film is acclaimed as one of the most dy- mamie and colorful dramas of the screen.
 Set on the Barbary Coast of old San Francisco in the early fifties, Frisco Kid" is story of the tu- multuous gold rush days when ad- venturers from the world over con- gregated on Frisco's waterfront.
 In this seething hell-hole were gathered criminals, cut-throats, murderers, gamblers, women of the demimonde and every type of hu- man shark who lived by preying on his neighbor. There band of crimps you'd slip knockout drops to an innocent sailor, knock him cold with billy, rob him of the stake he had saved to prospect the gold fields, and shanghai him.
 Cagney is said to have the most powerful role of his screen career as Slis sailor, a crude, ignorant, but dominating character with driv ing force and a magnetism that not only wins his battles with the un- derworld. but eventually the love of 2 beautiful and talented woman of the upperworld. Margaret Lindsay, as the girl is said to give fine and artistic portrayal in this picture Ricardo Cortez is also outstanding in his characterization of famous underworld gambler and Lili Dami- ta is also excellent as the flashily gowned and beautiful wife of the gambler.
 Others in the cast include such favorites as Donald Woods, Barton MacLane and George E. Stone.
 Swing Out the Blues a new musical film, will be the second hit of Sundays show. Filled to the fade-out with laughs, romance and song Swing Out The Blues fea- lures Bob Haynes. singing star of Freddie Martins band, Lynn Mer- rick.

STRAND TO SHOW
 AMAZING CINEMA
''WOmen in Bondage" Sor= did Story of Home Life
 Under Hitler Regime

One of the most amazing motion pictures of all time will unfold on the Strand screen today with the local opening of Women Tn Bond- age" It exposes conditions which have been little realized by the out side world, and gives sordid pic ture of home life under the Hit Ter regime.
 Gail Patrick and Nancy Kelly are co-starred in this startling film, and head cast which is exception al in size and the ability of its members. Miss Patrick is s1en as a German woman who returns home during the war, after several years absence, and is mortified at the de- graded status which has been en- forced on the women of her native land. Miss Kelly is native girl who is arbitrarily prevented from marrying her soldier sweetheart, and who commits a cardinal sin when she cries out against the re- gime. The eventual punishment of both women furnishes the ultimate in brutality.
 As indicated, the entire cast is excellent. Among the many who do fine work are Bill Henry, Tala Bi- rel, Gertrude Michael, Alan Bax- ter, Rita Quigley, Felix Basch, Anne Nagel, Mary Forbes and H. B. War ner.
 Remember-tte picture opens a weeks engagement today at the Strand theater. On the same pro- gram is another grand feature Career Girl" a sparkling musical hit starring Frances Langford and Edward Norris.

IA GUY NAMED JOE'|
 AT POLES TODAY
Spencer Tracy's Latest Hit to Run All Week; Irene
 Dunne CO=Starred

Starting today at the Loew-Poli Theater, is the film that you have been waiting for, the phones of this very popular theater have been busy for the past week or more with in quiries, as to just when we would bring the sensational picture "A Guy Named Joe" with Spencer Tracy, for local showings, all that could be answered was that 1t was still breaking records in attendance and gate-receipts at the Capitol Theater, in New York and that the prints were not available for us, but now it is here and, 1t goes with out saying that the Poli theater will be the most popular place in town for the next week. This film on ac- count of its immensity will be shown for ' full days at the PoH theater, starting today and ending on next Thursday night. -
 "A Guy Named Joe" is the title for the members of the U. s. Army Air Force in foreign lands, and for the role that has been given to Tracy, it is a characterization that outranks anything that he has done since his Academy award winning portrayals in Captains Courageous and Boys Town," so that with this statement you can easily see the wonderful treat that Is Ill store for you.
 Great pictures need great casts also and in support of Tracy, the Waterbury favorite, are such out standing performers as Irene Dunne, appearing for the first time with Spencer Tracy, and doing wonder full job as the girl that always brings the reckless air-ace back from what appears to be certain destruction Then there are such male favorites as Ward Bond, who is cast as Tracy s rival in every department, and who makes 'Joe's' life little tough at times, then there is Van Johnson, Lionel Barrymore, as the General and James Gleason, in a comedy relief role as the troubled Colonel, who has the handling of the lov- able but hard -to-hardle Tracy.
 The theme of this film Is unusual. we are rot going to tell you about it here, but you will be thrilled to the marrow as the story urfolds and, while it has the clement of romance. it also has an added thrill in a mystery part that is the new and different part of the program that will have you thrilled as never be- fore
 Tn addition to the main feature there will be a program of carefully selected short subjects. picked with an eye as to their combining with the caliber of the stellar screen attractions.

BUTLER TYPE

DO AEN 1EE
 Ask almost anyone about Alan Mowbray and they'll say, "Oh yes, he plays those funny buffers on the screen" It's strange the way one or two roles will type an actor in the minds of moviegoers. Mowbray, a very versatile gent, has played 160 roles in pictures but only five were buffers.
 He's played George Washing ton. and Metternich, the premier of Austria. He's played the Grand Duke of Russia, the King of Eng land, De Sarnac of France and a Roman senator. A week after playing Vivien Leihh's husband in a film, he went to another studio and played an American Legionnaire in a two-reel comedy called French Fried Patootie'' in which he played two scenes with a monkey and got hit in the face with a custard pie.
 Alan isn't worried about being typed, yet to moviegoers he's a buHer. Sometimes, he admits, it worries him.

The scene takes place in a darkened cabin and Hope thinks the bear is Doro- thy.
 Why didn't they just drop my option moaned Hope as he start ed to film the scene. When the bear growled, Hope looked for lornly at Director Hal Walker and said, This is hte way they weed out stock players at Paramount.
