RONALD COLMAN WITH LORETTA YOUNG IN THE DEVIL
 TO PAY" AT NEW GARDEN

At the New Garden theater Ron- aid Colman, as the star in Frederick Lonsdale's sophisticated smart com edy-drama, ''The Devil To Pay" ap- pears in a role that will delight his millions of admirers, and amaze them with the versatility of his genius.
 To his repressed characterization of the sightless hero in ''The Dark Angel the grim courage of his Bulldog Drummond,' the artful re- sourcefulness of his "Raffles," and the many romantic parts that have made him the best loved lover on the screen, Ronald Colman adds d far different role. Here he plays a happy go-lucky prodigal son who, after yaer or two in Africa, where his father has sent him to make something of himself" he hungers for the lights and delights of Lon don, and returns-broke, but un- daunted.
 The disgusted parents threatens him with disinheritnace. Never having been in love, the audaciuos hero decides to marry for money. His recklessness; his headlong love- making (when he meets the girl, Loretta Young); an already accepted rival, and the ambitions of two purse-proud fathers. are spicy in- gradients in swiftly moving plot, told in witty dialogue. Brisk, smart land sophisticatde, in settings that are as rich as the high society locale. 'The Devil To Pay" presents a new Ronald Colman in entrancing enter tainment.

Tnere IS nothing mysterious about Fox. With Al Weill for a manager, Marty's record and ability is an open book, for he fights often enough to win marathon honors in any contest. Not only that, but he's a good fight CT, and hits hard enough to test the physique of the hardest heavy weight. Winston is fiashy number, having scored two knockout in as many bouts since Waterburians were startled to learn that he's training at the Phoenix A. c. The bout looks like action from the start.
 Return Bout
 Plenty of ring class will be on tap when Sammy Gelber of New York and Young Granada the Dixie Dy- namite' boy put up their hands. Both are exceptionally clever boxers, have plenty of endurance and hit fairly hard. What is more. they are familiar with one another's styles, having recently fought a .slashing star bout in Holyoke with Gelber the winner. It was So close that re- match for this city resulted.
 Jerry Jams 'En In
 One reason Promoter George Mul7 ligan can figure on some cash cus- toners is Jerry McLarn of Water town who is on the books again for 8 six round number which will dis close the type of seeking that you would walk miles to see. His oppon- ent is a tough hombre, well known to local fight gentry. Vic Carlson of Terryvil1e, who is also a terrific clouter in his own right. Another six round go will include Joe EnI- mons, Wolcott's rough and ready resident who is in good shape for a battle with Battling Archie, another Importation from Florida. Emmons is willing fighter who has yet to fail to do his best against any and all opposition handed him.
 Slam, Bang Boys
 What the promoter regards as a great opening number has Andy Strong of Washington, Connecticut and Luigi Napolitano of Danbury as opponents. These boys, TIT pound- CTS. fought sizzling go at New Mill ford short time ago, Strong getting the nod by a hairline. First bout goes on at 8:30 o'clock with admis- sion at one and two.

 Lila Lee as altogether lovely in the role of the small-town native and the high-and-mighty foreign princess. Ben Lyon is the lovable If impractical village genius who turns out to be better prince for Ellen than her first pick.
 Louise Fazenda and Lucien Little field are deliciously ludicrous as aunt and uncle of Ellen, and three of the finest character actresses of the day.

Hills Open Season
 With 12-7 Win

Washington Hills yesterday in scoring a 12 to 2 win over the Winsted town team, the game aiding in the general cell ebration of Hill residents attending the official dedication of the Wash ington Park baseball field. Senator Joe Lawlor and Alderman Frank Bergin formed the unofficial bat tery to juggle the first ball, after which the Hills went ahead to hand Smith and Conway for IA hits and dozen runs. Paul Doran's extra base clouting and leg-work on the sacks made him look like the whole show for while. but Mullen and Slattery also performed well for the winers while Purcell was in form on the mound.
 In the prelim. the St Francis Xavier kids took a to decision from the St Francis school nine of Naugatuck.

THIRTEEN-YEAR OLD WHITE HOUSE
 GUEST IS HAPPY
Is Having the Time of His Young Life and Has Many Admirers at the Capital
By PAUL R. MALLON


 Washington, May 1 (UP)-Presi- dent Hoover has definite ideas about what a 13-year-old lad should see.
 They include the Washington Monument, the home of George Washington; how they make money in the bureau of engraving; the Roosevelt collection of animals in the National Museum; the Lind bergh plane; the, tomb of the Un- known Soldier and the Zoo.
 That at least is the sightseeing tour he worked out with his young guest, Bryan Untiedt. the quiet but very confident young man brought from Colorado because of his hero ism in school bus tragedy.
 The call for breakfast today found CTS ideas fulfilled, except the trip to the zoo. He promised to take that the first thing, if his 6-year- old admirer Peggy Ann Hoover will let him out of her sight that long.
 White House attaches have been closely following a childhood TO- nance which appears to have de- veloped between the boy hero bor- dering on young manhood and the White House grandchild with long brown curls. Little Miss Hoover has been acting as hostess to the country boy from Colorado, drinking in tales of the cowbo-s on the plains, listen- ing to the ioleful music of the harmonica as played by Bryan. and tagging along behind him every where he goes.
 Their romance Is somewhat hin- dered by the fact that her four-year old brother goes tagging along also. And the annoying Herbert, III, is always saying.
 "Tell me some stories about bears" He has been bear conscious since White House attaches told him
