And this is the conclusion we must ali
arrve at in these days of depression. Crouch
ing and gloom. The sooner we take our
losses and get them back of us, the sooner
we will again make money, and the quicker
we make money, the quicker we will give
employment to others.
Let us forget this trouble that we have
brought upon ourselves Let us forget that
we have been masters of our own pocket
books and own spending capacities. Let us
get busy and restore what we have lost, and
if we will devote more time to regain these
losses and less time to self pity; if we square
our shoulders and face the world with
smile instead of sneer we will soon get
that comfortable feeling that Gods in His
heaven, alls we'll with the world"

Arliss and Oakie . at the Garden
Stars Are Offered in Two
 of Their Best

Presenting George Arliss on the screen in overalls seems almost like phing King George V in a night shirt, but 1t is what Is done in "The Millionaire" the Warner Bros. picture which comes to the New Garden Sunday for three days.
 The public is so used to seeing MT Arliss in dignified or spectacu- lar costumes, such as those worn in "Disraeli' or "The Green God dess" or "Old English" that 1t is certain to be astonished when the star appears for the first time as garage mechanic, dressed in the togs germane to that profession.
 Arliss himself always enjoys get ting into roles that give him com plete change of character and at- mosphere and he Is not actually adverse to overalls in his own gar- den, although 1t is not on the rec ords that any one has seen him, either in this country or about his homes in England, dressed in denim and a monocle.
 "The Millionaire" presents Arliss in a new role! A different Arliss--- greater Arliss-the most human Arliss you have ever seen--in a role you'll remember all your life! Underworld gangdom is subject ed to rapid-fire attack of rollick- ing "razz" in the new Jack Oakie picture, "The Gang Buster." the Paramount picture which is also on the bill with cast of well-known feature players supporting the star. Oakie, fresh and funny from two recent laugh successes. "Sea Legs"

Constance Bennett
 The Common Law
Opens at State in Drama-
 tic Seasonal Hit

Headlining a new array of talk ing screen super productions that will bring to Waterbury the great est pictures since the advent of the talking screen, Warner Broth ers' State offers the first starting to-day and for the ensuing three days. Constance Bennett in the picture that is breaking records and being held over everywhere It plays-"The Common Law" To follow in rapid order are the pick of the pictures from all the studios of the industries leading produc- CTS.
 Constance Bennett is a glamor- ous person and the role she por- trays in "The Common Law" is par 'ticularly suited to her beauty and talent.
 The story is about an artists model with advanced ideas of love and the man she loves who is modern in everything but love.
 The art studio scenes are par ticularly well done, and the scene representing the Parisfan -Four Arts Ball" with its gorgeously cos tuned women stands out as a piece of masterful direction. Henry Give, famous painter and illustra- tor, acted as technical director for these Parisian scenes. He had to conduct a real beauty contest in order to make a suitable selection of beautiful girls for the scene.
 Constance Bennett undoubtedly liked the role of Valerie West. Never for 8 moment does the quail ity of her characterization lag. Throughout the picture she plays with understan nding and restraint. There is depth to Valerie West.
 Miss Bennett has an excellent supporting cast-3oef MeCrea. Lew Cody, Robert Williams, Hedda Hopper, Marion Shilling, and Paul Ellis.
 Paul Stein directed. The screen play was adapted from Robert w.. Chambers novel, "The Common Law" by John Farrow.
 An excellent program of short subjects, comedies, latest news events etc, adds to the complete enjoyment of this deluxe presenta- tiOn

 It's all packed full of high voltage excitement, and the audi knce does not know the identity of the culprit until the last few mo- ments of the fiim's unwinding.
 Excellently directed by Edward Slofnan to wiring every last thrill out of its context, this story is abetted by great cast of charac- ter performers. William Boyd is Va1cour. Lilyan Tashman as Laura. Regis Toorney as Cassidy, the cop, Irving Pichel as Phillip, Sally O'Neill as Jane,-and many others.

Director of the Merry Madcaps
 of WTIC

Hartford, who are scheduled to appear in Hamilton park pavilion Wednesday evening, August 12, have achieved popularity of unusually wide scope.
 The Madcaps, who constitute a bakers dozen, all 13 of whom were recruited nearly two years ago to become permanent members of the WTIC staff, are guided by the baton of Norm Cloutier.
 The past winter has been q banner year for the band, which in it's record receipt of fan mail has elicited letetrs from listeners as far east as Berlin, Germany, and as far west as Pimba. Aus tralia. Their "request nights' have been devoted to popular numbers demanded by radio lis- teners from every state in the union, including such far western sections as California, Texas and the state of Washington. On one occasion they established record for long range transmission, their program having been heard as far east as Paris, France. and as far west as Lyall Bay, New Zeala nd the two points being approximate ly 10000 miles apart.
 Among the prominent individu- als in the Madcap personnel Is "Tiny" German, who has been called "the worlds biggest radio star" a title won by virtue of the fact that he stands more than six and a half foot tall and weighs 365 pounds. His brother, Len Berman, pianist, is anohter radio luminary.
 The majority of the Madcaps' dance offerings are special ar engagements written solely for them by various members of the or chestra and by specialists in the arrangement of popular numbers

Murder By the Clock alace
Thrills Await Patrons at Opening Tomorrow

:. Thrills - tingly, spine- chilling thrills; thrills that make you gasp and thrills that make your head i-This And more is the fare at the Fox Poli Palace Sunday for four days, where that creepy thrill-and chill murder mystery play, Murder by the Clock opens.
 Murder by the, Clock" is based on a novel plot idea filmed from the original story by Rufus King kThe idea is that Herbert Endicott dies twice in the same evening With this as the hub of the action interest and with a great number of pulse-hastening incidents as the spokes, Murder by the Clock whirls swiftly along at a breath taking speed, holding the interest till the very last moment when the culprit who has caused all the mayhem and killing is discovered by the detective-hero.
 Paramount has wisely changed the story from Rufus Kings orig. inal. The culprit of the book is not the .culprit of the screen yer. sion, Therefore those who have read the book will have to begin all over again and see the picture for the film presents new guilty one" }
 In order to make it more diffi- cult for audiences to guess whc Is the guilty schooner in the play the producers have garnished the original plot with several additions al characters and with considerably more narrative material.
 The story centers around the luxurious mansion of the cranky but wealthy old Mrs Julia Endicott She lives there with her son, the strong-framed but child minded and sap from Syracuse" works his chin and grin into a series of upsetting situations as a small town insurance salesman with big town ideas. The story centers around Oakie's adventures in sell- ing insurance in 8 gang ridden city where every prospect is a poten- tiai victim for the warning racke- teers. An interesting romance pops into the foreground to add zest to the action.
 The usual interesting short sub- jects will be shown. The gift days for ladies are Tuesday, pyroloid drcsserware; Wednesday. china fdtnrerware, and a Country Etcre ,eyery. Saturday night.

In a recent article in Invest
ment Banking" I find a we'll
known economist analyzing "the
ways to prosperity"
It seems that four ways are to
be considered as separate posi-
bilities.
1. Some say overproduction in
many industries is the cause.
They say that the way out is
through curtailment Of produc-
ton where there has been too
much.
2. Some say under-consumption
Is the cause, and these persons
advocate giving people more
money to spend by making wages
high, constructing public works,
etc. -.
8. Others say artificial restric-
tions on trade are the cause. They
propose that we remove tariffs
and restrictions on export of cap
ital, and that price maintenance
schemes be done away with.
Cheap Money
4. The fourth group argues
that our troubles have been
caused by money and credit con-
ditions and looks to easy money
and inflationary bank policies as
furnishing the way out.
The economist whose article I
am referring to, rejects all these

In addition to increasing great
