COMING BATTLES
 EXCITE INTEREST
New Haven and Hartford to Vote in City Elec-
 tiOn Shortly

With Waterbury's sweeping dem- cratic victory in Tuesdays munf- cipal election now a matter of his- tory, local political leaders have now turned their eyes to New Ha- ven and Hartford, where the candi- dates have yet to face the voters. New Haven and Hartford will hold elections next month and democra- tic leaders, both local and state- wide, are in hopes that these two big centers of population will be swept out of the republican col umn.
 To-day in Hartford the demo- crats go to the polls to select their candidates. The two candidates for the democratic mayoralty nomina- tion there are William J. Rankin md David A. Wilson. The voters will not cast their ballots directly for either of the two candidates but will elect delegates to the var .ous conventions which will event. ially nominate the party ticket.
 In Hartford the democrats have ,een waging merry fight within heir own ranks. Former Demo- cratic National Committeeman Thomas J. Spellacy, Senators Jo-
 eph P. Cooney and Thomas J.
 'onroy, Representative John Mark lam and others prominent in the party are backing Rankin while Congressman Augustine Lonergan, Town Chairman Vincent w. Dem his, Senator Michael A. Connor and Representative J. Agnes Burns are among the supporters of Will son.
 The battle, in other words, has ,otten down to a question of su- premacy between the "new guard" forces, headed by Congressman Lonergan, and the "old guard" ma- chine. headed by Attorney Spellacy. The contest between these two fac- tions in Hartford is nothing new. This year, though, 1t is felt that following the primaries the two factions will bury the hatchet and get out and work solidly for the election of the democratic candi- date.
 The example set by the warning days election will be copied by the Hartford democrats, it is hoped. Here the Kennedy forces fought IOf Lht dAly against the present incumbent and victor in Tuesdays election. Mayor Hayes won in the primaries and judging from the history-making majority by which he was swept in- to office 1t is clear that the Ken nedy and Hayes forces did not car ry their differences to the polls.
 Last night the republicans held their conventions in New Haven. Lawson w. Hall was nominated for the g. O. p. mayoralty. The con- ventions were harmonious. The present republican mayor, Thomas Fully, withdrew from the race two days ago, leaving the Hall organ. ization clear sailing.
 The democrats of New Haver have yet to nominate their ticket but due to the pre-convention flare up in the g. o. p. ranki in the Elm City, 1t is believed that the repub
 licans will be defeated there thi year.

Marian Marsh Is Here /!
MARSH is hereI Or q
least she was here Fridayl


Who is Marion Marsh? Well, the
fair Marian Is no less than the young
lady who was personally selected by
the great John Barrymore as his lead
ing lady in "Svengan." Her real name
is Violet Krauth. She was born Oc-
tober IS, 1918, in the British West In
dies and was reared in the United
States In her veins flows the proud
blood of four acknowledgements
Irish, French and German. So there
is no cause for commotion On that
score. Also she is product OF the
Hollywood High School.
Getting down more closely to the
business of this section Of The Star,
Marian (or Violet, as you wilD, after a
screen test, played a series of small
parts in "Helrs Angels" "Whoopee'
and Fifty Million F'renchmen." The
turning point to her career, however,
was her selection for the feminine lead
in Young Sinners, and it was be-
cause of her work in this role that
Warner Bros. executives suggested her
for a role with Mr.. Barrymore in
"Svengali."
This information was received by
The Star just as the forms were about
to be closed and before there was
scarcely the opportunity to oil up q
typewriter for fresh start.
There is no mention Of the role
which Miss Marsh will play in Sven
gall" It Is presumed, however, she
has been assigned to the very impor-
tant part of Trilby in Du Maurier's
famous play, now transferred to the
screen, with John Barrymore In the
mystic role Of the great Svengah, which
Wilton Lackaye made famous on the
speaking stage Press agents have such
way of doing things that in the pres
ent instance they omitted also to say
when and where "Svengali' will be
shown In Washington.

This Stage" Boyd

WILLIAM BOYD didn't tumble into
w the theater by chance. That Is to
say, the man the movies call William
STAGE Boyd. A bright Paramount pub
licity writer explains as follows:
Boyd has a theatrical background
that uncovers a chain of ancestors
linked to the foundation of the Ameri-
can theater. His mother was Florence
Richman, star of 20 years ago, who trod
the boards in the regal days when
Shakespeare was played with brocades
and gestures instead Of georgette and
cigarettes. Both father and grand
father were similarly labeled William
Boyd.
But for all the advantages given q
stars son, Boyd didn't escape the brutal
days picking career in the CONNER
cial world. Wearying of the theater
that gave him only super work, the
climbing youth chose a job as hotel
clerk to send him toward goal of fame
and wealth. He passed out the wrong
key one night and that job ended, His
flair for theatricRlism sprouted again
this time rs circus rider. He faxed
his way admirably and got by three
months at the cost of few bruises.
Boyd next achieved a small but COW
eted part in Peter Pan" supporting
Maude Adams. He was destined some
IA years later to return to Peter Pan
in the luminous role of Miss Adams
leading man. Then he went to work.
