PALACE-"The Easiest Way. |.

HE EASIEST WAY" famous Amer
lean classic of the stage, which
Is credited with having changed the
trend of thought on sex matters from
Victorian TO modern standards, is the
current screen attraction at Loew's
Palace. The Easiest Way" when In
troduced on the stage by Frances Starr
In 1909, created an international sensa-
ton, because it was the first play to
hint even remotely that a man might
forgive q woman who had made a
misstep.
"Brockton, played by Adolphe Men
jou, is no saint. He is a very modern,
very successful man. His villainy con-
sists in tempting the beautiful Laura
Murdoch, the star of the story, played
by Miss Constance Bennett, with Jewels
motor cars. etc. And then comes Madi-
son, played by Robert Montgomery. He.
too, has things in life that he would
like to forget. The struggle of Laura
and Madison for their happiness pro-
vides the dramatic motivation of this
famous play.
Edith Ellis did the adaptation for the
talking screen. The direction is by
Jack Conway. In addition to the prin-
ctpals, others include j. Farrell Mac
donald. Hedda Hopper. Anita Page,
Johnny Harron, Marjorie Rambeau and
others.
On the Palace stage "Loew's vaude-
Vile Revue" is offered as something new
In entertainment. It is q radical de-
parture from the usual presentations,
according to advance reports.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-10

without competition. According to records it is the first time in his long racing career that Gar Wood has ever stopped to such trick to win race.
 The odds were all on Kaye Don to win In the first heat Miss England II left the Wood craft mile behind Its twin Rolls Royce engines develop 4,100 horse power as compared to 2,l20 for Woods Packard engines The only chance that the Ameri- can boat had was on the winding course of the Detroit river where sharp turns predom- mate and permit Gar Wood to maintain his high speed Twin propellors allow Miss America TX to maintain high speed on the sharpest turns by decreasing the speed Of one screw and maintaining it on the other. The English boat with its single screw thus had to make up on the straight aways what it lost on turns However. its first heat re- vealed it to be still the faster boat.
 In the light of these facts Gar Wood evidently decided that he would resort to strategy. However, it involves certain ethics that evidently Mir Wood was not consider ing Had there been a second English boat left to compete with his brothers boat there might not be any criticism. First he admitted he tricked Kaye Don into false start Now. however, he is denying this and claiming that his original remark was misinterpreted. It will be hard to repair the damage done though. There seems to have been an admission of defeat even before the race was started. On the basis of this we do not see how the officials can consciously award the trophy to Miss American VIII. although it fulfilled all the requirements. Triekery of this description only hurts international competition.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-10

And while in reminiscent mood we can't help but comment upon the appear ance of Donald Brian in revival of that most famous of light operas. Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow which is now playing in, New York. We read not so long ago that Mir Brian was 64. According to the New York critics his performance as Prince Danilo, the role that he made famous 24 years ago when The Merry Widow was first produced in New York was by lar the best of the troupe. We can well recall the days of The Merry Widow" Not merely was its fascinating music whistled and sung all over the nation, but if we aren't mistaken, it created styles that kept fashion shops busy for some time in the way of duplicates for those who keep up with the times. They do say that Donald Bran sings and dances with all the charm that was his in lo07 We well believe it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-10
Motives For Lending

Labor leaders in England apparently be- lieve that the $300.000,000 loan made by New York banks to the new British govern ment to help balance its budget, are inspired by desire to keep the British unemploy- ment dole from spreading to America. A party manifesto says cur government, by in flueneing such loans, is trying to enforce a complete change in national policy. pri- marily because England is setting bad ex- ample to other countries in taxing the rich to provide necessities for the poor
 Our government doesn't like the British dole, to be sure But in SO far as it has had a hand in the Wall Street loans, it has been trying to help friendly government slave off bankruptcy As for the American bank CTS who have the deciding voice in this loan, they are doubtless aetuated by the same mo- tives that control private banking every where - to lend idle funds where they will draw profitable rate of interest and where there is good reason to expect repayment of the principal.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-10
Sportsmanlike Or What?

There seems to be divided opinion in this country on the result of the international raoe for the Harmsworth Trophy in which Gar Wood trieked Kaye Don into an illegal start. Both boats were immediately dis qualified by the judges but. of course, were
 nor conscious of this fact and continued along the r30-mile course in the Detroit River. To make matters worse the English boat. which is just about the fastest thing on water today. struck the back wash ot Miss America TX and broke in half promptly going to the bottom.

Good News Coming

Connecticut's delegation to the next dem- ocratie national convention may be two more than it was in 1928 when this state democratic representatives went all the way down to Houston. Texas. to nominate AL fred E. Smith. When the democratic national committee meets in January, l932. one ot the first question it will discuss Will De whether or not representation at the l93Z convention will be based on 1910 or l93o apportionment If it is on the former Con- nectieut will send fourteen delegates as in the past. If, however, the last federal census and ensuing congressional apportionment IS followed we will have two more delegates as Connecticut gains one additional con- sressional seat under the reapportionment.
 The chances of the committee following the reapportionment seem good. In 1912 this procedure was followed. It was the first gathering after the 1910 federal census and the apportionment authorized by the Constitution. Delegates in that year were chosen on the basis of the new census. If the committee follows precedent It will do the same thing next year when it meets Even if it doesn't care to have anything to do with precedent it will still probably fol- low the new census, for the change will have to be made some time and it might as we'll be now as four years from now. States might as we'll aeeustom themselves to reap portonment of congressional seats
 Each state is allowed two delegates for its representation in Congress. This state sends five representatives and two senators. total of seven, permitting fourteen delegates to national conventions. The additional con- gressman will raise the delegation to sixteen. Of course, this doesn't increase the total number of votes at the convention. This remains stationary, as the size of Congress is the same under reapportionment. The House of Representatives still consists of 435 members. California gains the most seats at the convention, since under reapporton- ment it gets nine additional congressman The gains and losses balance. But Connec- ticut will probably look for two more dele gates next year. We'd like the change ef- fedive in l932.

 Rounsevell was consultant and adviser of the revolutionists and sat in with them as they definite ly planned their uprising six weeks ahead. He says it was the only purely civilian revolution ever successfully achieved. All through that exciting night Roun- sevell stood in his shop, turning out thousands of proclamations and manifestos while his friends upset the government with shot, guns, butcher knives and pawn shop revolvers. He printed and sold 52,000 copies of extras that day as against previous maxi mum circulation of 7,500 and 10,- 900 since. One of his linotype operators had been let off to be- come chief of police for the night.

Lafayette.Marne Day

If Andrew Jackson, who said of Lafay- cite, His memory will be second only to that of Washington in the hearts of the American people" had returned to earth on September 9th of this year, he would have witnessed the fulfillment of his prophecy. On that day the 174th anniversary of La fayette's birth and coineidentally the l7th anniversary of the first Battle of the Marne, were nationally eommemorated. Notable French and American speakers paid tribute to the French hero of the War for Independence, and the trieolor floated side by side with the Stars and Stripes from buildings, monuments and statutes.
 Fifteen years ago. the Lafayette -Marne Day Committee of New York was organ ized. Several hundred prominent citizens became members. and those participating in the exercises held at City Hall included Ann bassadors Jusserand and w. G. Sharp, Rob- ert Bacon and Maurice Leon. Mir Leon, a prominent New York lawyer who initiated the observance of the anniversary. is one of the four surviving signers of the original proclamation of observance.
 Lafayette has received the spontaneous tribute of grateful Americans on every Sep tember 9th since the first commemorative ceremony of 1915. This year, the -ap- preaching Yorktown Sesqui-Centennial in which France will be represented by Mar shal Petain. enhanced public interest in the Lafayette anniversary celebration.
