JOE E. BRO W N PLAYS TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Famous Com e dian and Joan Bennett Are Tn
 Maybe It's Love

Maybe It's Love" begins show ing tonight at the Coliseum thea tre, with Joe E. Brown, famous comedian, and Joan Bennett, noted beauty, in featured roles. Brown takes good care of the humorous situations. Miss Bennett enacts the role of the campus flirt at Upton College. She does it all for dear old Alma Mater, the net re- suit of her charm being that a whole American team is lured to Upton and the college wins the big game for the first time in eleven years.
 The "all-American" team is gen. uine. Its members were recruited from the star selection of Grant land Rice in the New York Sun.
 His Face, His Fortune
 Be it ever so honely, Browns expressive face is good enough for him.
 In fact, it is so good to him that his new contract with Warner Brothers contains several clauses that prevent studio executives from marring his picturesque features with whiskers, mustaches, or any other artificial adornment that would make Browns comedy coun- tenance other than the way nature carved it.
 Started Work Early
 The circus tent and baseball diamond were stepping stones that led Brown to the stage-and final ly to the motion picture screen. s Brown first appeared before the public at the age of g as mem Der of the Five Marvellous Ash tons, circus acrobats and aerialists. and he remained with this troupe five years, appearing not only in circuses but also at parks and fairs.
 When he was IT years old he be- gan his career as a professional baseball plyaer, joining the St. Paul, Minn., team. He played with various bush league" teams several years, and eventually land ed with the New York Yankees, where he sat in the bench several weeks-and then went into vaude- vile.

"REDUCING''

ming back the man she loves, sup plies an unexpected and dramatic denouement.
 Constance Cummings enacts the role of Connie Lee. Betty Bronson plays the part of Vivian, and Jack Mulhall is Tom. Jameson Thomas is Yates and others in the cast are Frederick Santley, Jack Mack, Katherine Givney, Loretta Savers and Susan Fleming. Erie O. Ken ton directed.
 Reducing" at Midnight
 Reducing" is presented at a midnight matinee, chiefly for the benefit of the night shift miners and other night workers who are prevented by their hours of en- ployment from attending regular theatrical performances. No doubt, the presentation tonight will at- tract many other persons who are anxious to see the famous screen comedy at first opportunity.
 Reducing" lampoons the beauty parlors. The motivation of the plot starts when Marie Dressler, cast as Marie Truffle, with her whole family and rural mail carrier hus- band, Lucien Littleffeld, comes to visit her sister, Polly Moran, who portrays the successful Pauline Rochay," beauty parlor proprie- tress.

 The audience is taken behind the scenes in an establishment where fat women become thin and thin women fat.

 Lover Come Back" answers the question, How does a young mod ern react when her suitor jilts her for what he considers a sweet, old fashioned girl? Around this ultra sophisticated situation the screen story is built.
 Story of the Play
 Most of the action concerns the efforts of Connie, a little stenog- rapher, to win back the affections of her sweetheart, Tom Evans.
 Tom had fallen for a shallow flirt, Vivian March, and had tilted the girl who had proven her love for him through months of spm- pathetic companionship. After Toms marriage to Vivian, Connie accepts the proposition of Yates, her employer-to share Park Ave- nue apartment with him-but the scheme doesn't work; she is one- man woman and can't forget her first love.

The Court Fiasco

Despite the fact that the Legislature has repealed the law permitting the governor to name the judges of the New Haven city court the cppointees that Governor Cross has already sent to the General Assembly are still optimistic. Earlier in the present session Gov ernor. Cross sent in the names of Attorney Philip Troup, democrat, and Judge Stanley Dunn, republican. It is now planned to enlarge the New Haven court to permit of four judges, two to sit on criminal cases, one to hear small claims, and the other juve- nile delinquents. If this compromise is ef- fected there will be two republican and two democratic judges.
 However, that involves considerable leg isative action in itself, just as will enlarge ment of the local court of common pleas to permit of three judges. The volume of bus- ness handled by the New Haven court may permit of such a change, but if it actually transpires there will probably be demands from Hartford and Waterbury, not to men, ton Bridgeport, for more judges As it is now the latter city has three judges on the city court bench, one to handle only juvenile cases. Certainly Hartford and Waterbury will feel entitled to larger judiciary in the minor courts if New Haven and Bridgeport are fa- vored.
 It wouldn't surprise us in the least though. to find the present New Haven ncumbents, Judges Whitaker and Dunn, being reap pointed by the legislature and the governors recommendations being disregarded Certainly if the republican legislature is to remain fairly consistent it must name the New Haven judges now that 1t has denied the governor the right which he has enjoyed since 1917. And with. the democrats of New Haven still wrangling over the appointments that Attor- ney Troup would have been privileged to make we are more than confident that what we predict will actually occur

The Dominant Sex

This sex rivalry is getting to be a terrible think. The situation changes so rapidly. It seems but little while since man was still regarded as the lord of creation. Then dur ing the war and since, we seemed to be coming into period of sex equality. Now that hal cyon state is threatened. Masculine equality is slipping. Listen!
 According to Winifred Black. writer on women's interests. there are statistics showing that male high school graduates an inch and half shorter than they were seven years ago. Also that girl graduates are an inch and a half taller than they were seven years ago.
 On top of this dreadful news she tells of two men, one in the east and the other in the west, who were seriously injured recently by girls hugging them too hard.
 What are we coming to? Are men degen erating? And what, if anything. are they going to do about it9

Too Much Destruction

In an informative letter to the Hartford Courant Irving E. Manchester of Winsted points out some of the salient features of the proposed water works plan for the east and west branches of the Farmngton river in the towns of Barkhamstead and HartIand. Hart ford through its Metropolitan District Com mission isreaching out for water rights. It pro- poses to build an immense reservoir on the east branch of the Pennington river. Mir Manchester points out that this will clean out l09 houses and farms on the East Branch watershed in Barkhamstead and Hartand and 275 people. <. -"
 In addition within twenty years the commission will build on the west branch of the Pennington two compensating reservoirs. In relation to these Mir Manchester remarks that there will be "one about three miles below Riverton, and one two miles above Riverton, flooding about eight miles of fertiliZed valley in order to compound waters to compensate riparian owners farther down the stream. :. Here again summer camps would be wiped out, including that of the William L. Gilbert home wards of the county numbering over 200 children. twelve to eighteen mics of State leased trout streams the Peoples and Ameri can Legion forest with their beautiful pine groves. There are .2.4l0 acres in the Peoples and American Legion forests that are in jeopardy. ....''
 They certainly are in jeopardy if the com- pensating reservoirs resemble the ones now in existence in Barkhamstead. Any time that we have had occasion to pass by them they were nothing but mudholes and not beautiful bodies of water such as the Metropolitan Dis trict Commission said were going to be added
 to the beauties of the two state forests in the valley of the west branch of the Farming ton river On this score alone we are afraid that much opposition to the plan will crop up in legislative circles.
 Another paragraph in Mir Manchester's let ter that drew our eye was the following - 'But in doing this 1t will kill the Community fife of the towns empty their churches and stop the annual production of S135, 900 worth of milk, $l8.000 worth of young cattle, S38,O0O worth of tobacco, $8.000 worth of potatoes. $500 worth, of poultry, $2,000 worth of huckleberrles. $l.000 worth of maple sugar, several thousand dollars worth of timber total of about $250.OOO year. This is on the East Branch Watershed alone. Evidently Mir. Manchester is fairly familiar with the situation up in the Bark hamstead hills. And if it is as serious as he makes it out to be. we sec little likelihood of Hartford and vicinity securing the water rights that they are now demanding as abso- lutely necessary. @

Poetic Slang

T don't say English isn't lovely. It's one of the loveliest dead languages With these words Louis Untermeyer, one of our fore most poets, joltcd an audience of school teachers the other day, And that wasn't all he said. In 50 years he continued, the Anglo-Saxon race will need two different dictionaries, one for the English language and one for the American. The English diction- ary will be for the dead branch of the lan- guage. andSthe American one for the living branch, containing our slang vocabulary. Does Untermeyer deprecate this outlook? Not at all Our poetry, he suggests, will be written in the American lingo, rather than the Eng fish, because our slang is so much richer in compact meaning. action, force and imagi ina ton.
 We might start right out to be pioneers and win undying fame as founders of new school of literature. except for one thing. We don't notice Louis Untermeyer himself trying it. And why not9 Probably because, though he might love to, he knows the stuff wouldn't keep. The slang of the last generation is unintelligbe to this one. It is a fair as sumption that our slang will be unintelligible to the next generation.
