ONE of the things this organization rarely
ever does is to change its officers, and
therefore the election is usually a mere matter
of form. For this reason, the association in
the e6 years of its existence has had but nine
presidents; six fewer than the United States
has had in the same time. In order they
were: Benjamin Ogle Tayloe DR.. John B.
Blake, Jenkin Thomas, George A. Bohrer
John Marbury, jr.; S. Thomas Brown, Allison
Major, jr., j. Edward Libbey and the present
esteemed incumbent, Theodore W. Noyes
Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, the first president,
elected December T. 1865 on account of his
failing health, did not-presde over the meet
lngs OF the association many times, and not
very long after his election began to travel
with the hope of restoring his health
He was at this time about So years of age
having been born at Annapolis Md, May 81,

"The Squaw Man"
At Loew's Palace.
r oEw'S PALACE is presenting
"Tbe Squaw Man. in which
william Faversham attained to I'M
dreamed-of heights many year ago
on the stage 1t is a long and some-
what rambling yarn of how a titled
Britisher welded dusky lady from
the land of the buffalo and the
tom tens" and how he remained
faithful to her even when a blonde
goddess from Piccadiily came and
said she was ''free-free-free.
Although the first audience at the
Palace treated this with little re-
spect. it is not as bad as 1t sounded
Yesterday. with sophomore hey
heyism permeating the hail, and in
its last stages it reaches a definite
state of tesr-eyed virtue One can
almost imagine what it was like once
on the stage. Some of it is still
fairly likable.
Warner Baxter, whose wisphke
mustache is one of Hollywoods
greatest boasts. in the role played by
the famed William Faversham, is
natural and although
he RECEIVERS normality after drinking

rspidity. His direct method of attack,

which are in evidence around and
about might easily float an armada.
incidentally, the boy who plays
Hal seems destined for great
things in the cinema since the
camera doesn't deter him one jot
or one iota from being nice, genial
little boy who would rather play
with his white man" trains than
with the pop-eyed horse which his
Indian mother had fashioned for
him. It is, in fact when he is pres
ent that this picture comes near TO
being good-aAd one can forget the
frightful fox hunting" scene in
England, which apparently has been
taken right around the corner from
the Indian country in which Warner
Baxter was living.
The love story in this, supplied
by two ladies, Eleanor Boardman,
as the British wife and widow, and
Lupe Velez, as the Indian girl whose
one bit OF conversation with her hus-
band seemed to be II understand"
is doubtfully realistic. Miss Board
man is inclined to lean against some
thing every time she appears and
Miss Velez Is so quiet and so thin
and so mournful that she is very
seldom convincing. In the very last
sequence however she is genuinely
rathetic-and you may cry your eyes
out at her as all the ladies seem to
be doing for rows around.
On the stage this week may be
seen that qusen of boop-oop-adcop-
ism, Helen Kane, who has augment
, ed her squeals and her screams by
a. round dozen. Greeted with mild
hysteria by the audience, she sue

cat-calls and then launched forth on
a song of a different nature which
pleased the audience just as much.

Fine Film at Columbia.
HCTREET SCENE" is an unusual
ly effective film and should be
seen by every one who Is out to see

stage and transplanted to the screen,
it has lost none of its power; in fact,
If anything. it has many added vir-

a second week at Loew's Columbia.
The distinctly sordid atmosphere
of an East Side tenement house in

there is enough of everything in it to
satisfy the most exorbitant demands

Smart Woman"
At R-K-O- Keith's.

Smart Woman"
At R-K-O- Keith's.
IF during your absence, your
lonely husband strays from the
path of connubial fidelity, don't stab
or poison his sweetie. but invite her
home and treat her like a sister!
At least, that is the method adopt
ed with success by the wife IN
Smart Woman at R-K-O keith's,
who loves her husband enough to
fight for him. 1t is difficult to say
whether without the assistance OF
an obliging gentleman friend the
wife could so easily have regained
her husbands side-tracked affec-
tons. But nevertheless, the idea as
a whole of bringing a rival within
ones own camp grounds is strategl-
cally sound, II one is clever enough
not to bungle the maneuverS at such
close quarters.
From the chuckles emanating from
the masculine contingent witnessing
Smart Woman's" premiere at
Keith's yesterday. it was apparent
that many of the complications
presented in the story we're familiar
to the audience and that the wife
was indeed smart lady and a SUI
perior general in her silent cam
paign for her husbands wavering
devotion With wife as lovely as
Mary Astor tin the role of Nancy,
it is difficult to believe that a hus-
band would want to wander. but as
Nancy's philosophical brother-in-
law observes all men do"
A big slice of credit for the real
comedy of Smart Woman" goes to
Edward Horton as the byother-in-
law. Bill. who takes sides with
Nancy in her fight for her husband.
Sharing a close second with Mary
Aston in the character honors of the
play is also John Halliday, as Sir
Guy. the Englishman who arouses in
the husband an appreciation of his
wife's charms. by stirring his jeal-
ousy. Noel Francis, as Peggy, the
"sweetie," is excellent as the vampy
littic on'd-dioger. end she IS ably as
sisted in her man-hunt by Gladys
Gale. a scneming. designing mother.
Robert Ames, as the husband who
quickly consoled himself with the
blonde gold-digger during his wife's
absence abroad, Is one of those per-
sons that screen fans argue about.
Some like him and some don't. In
this instance he seemed the one dis
cordant note in the entire play.
All told, Smart Woman" brings a
new apex to the eternal triangle.
Clever lines, combined with the
novel, and, as Nancy explains,
modern idea of wife entertaining
in her home the woman who is try
ing to take it from her, guarantee
some good laughs.

1t is always possible to find in
the acting of this star clear talent
which Eliminates the characteristics

She impressed one with the fact

As a piece of stage work It Is worthy
of attention. In The Magnificent

development, Miss Chatterton is still
the artist, although no apparent mo-

conscience. The play creates inter-

represent successive experiences of
dramatic force, and in their develop
ment Miss Chatterton has the sup

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-18

Generous recognition was given to the Waterbury delegation in attend- ance Saturday at the 31st annual convention of the Grand Court of Connecticut, Foresters of America. The session one of the most success ful in years, was held at Hotel Wa terbury. In the election of officers Walter S. McGowan of Court Merritt Heminway, Watertown, was re- elected to the position of grand chief ranger. It is the first time in the history of the state court, covering a period of AZ years, that a grand chief ranger was chosen to succeed himself. Past Supreme Chief Rang CT John F. Cosgrove of Hartford, who made the nominating speech, declared that the present economic dperession represented an emergency that called for unusual action. To maintain the high standard of ef- ficiency of the order and "carry on" successfully until conditions inn proved the Foresters needed an ex- perienced leader, one who had been tried and found not wanting. In rec ognition of his splendid services of the past year, MT Cosgrove declared that the Foresters should depart from time- -honored custom and re- elected MT McGowan. The conven- tion by exclamation, which was more of a personal ovation for the grand chief ranger, endorsed the nomination.

 in Coming Show
Remote Control" to Have Songs of Original PrO-
 duCtiOn in New York

The public need not be startled by
 pistol shots or shouting arising from
 Elks hall or the lower banquet room ot the Hotel Waterbury these nights.
 It simply means that under the ex- pert direction of Helen Schoeni the next Little Theater production of "Remote Control is being whipped
 into shape for presentation the lat ter part of this month.
 A big rehearsal was called for Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. sharp at Elks hall. The entire cast was on hand. twenty-five in all. compris- l ing the largest speaking ensemble of any Little Theater production here as yet.
 Remote Control" should prove a hit inasmuch as it is packed to the brim with thrills, pathos. comedy. songs and dances. The songs of the original New York production have been retained-So This is Heaven and Just Little Closer. Both are
 guaranteed to set your feet tapping | and will be hummed and whistied
 when the play is over.
 The Little Theater company invite the public to come and spend a hec- tic day in one of the worlds largest broadcasting studios. There will be no intermission between the acts, the curtain merely dropping to denote the passing of time.
