The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-12

Judge T. V. Meyer, who presided sthis morning at a special session sof the court of domestic relations, sone of the side issues of city court, sexpressed himself puzzled over the report that William M. Harris, tchairman of the unemployment tcommittee, had declined to assist in finding work for Charles Hud- son, 21, of 86 Wolcott street. Hud- son had been arraigned on the scharge of non-support of his young wife and an infant child, who is suffering from the effects of an at- tack of infantile paralysis. The sbaby's limbs are said to be par salyzed as an aftermath of its ill., ness. Mrs Hudson has been ob- liged to give up her employment and devote her time to the care or sher child.
 According to the report submit led to the court MT Harris had been formally asked to place the young man at some form of em- sployment, but refused on the grounds that Hudson is not a bon- afide resident of Waterbury. On being questioned Hudson claimed That he is a voter here. He came to this city originally from Ala bama and is married to a Water bury girl. They have lived here for nearly three years, with the exception of trip down south.
 The court expressed some sur prise and intimated that possibly there is some misunderstanding as

LEW AIRES, CARIDEO AND FOUR HORSEMEN THRILL STATE AUDIENCES IN "SPIR- IT OF NOTRE DAME,

oIAetaoinshrdlucmfwyp |? |? .
 Patrons of Warner Brothers State theater were treated yester- day to one of the most thrilling talking screen presentations brought to Waterbury this year.
 The picture is "The Spirit of Notre Dame" which has been dedi- cated to the memory of the immor- tai Knute Rockne and has in its splendid cast Lew Ayres, Sally Blanc, William Bakewell, G. Far relI Mcdonald, The Four Horse men, Miller, Layden, Crowley and Stuhldreher, Frank Carideo, Moon Mullins Adam Walsh, John O'Brien, Bucky O'Connor, John Law and many other famous Notre Dame gridiron luminaries.
 The picture has been filme1 by Universal at a cost of more than quarter million dollars and is unquestionably one of the finest productions that Waterbury will see this season at any local theater.
 Great good fortune. devotion to their leader and inspiration of a revered institution hovered over "The Spirit of Notre Dame". It is no wonder that it is a tremen- dously entertaining picture. It is no wonder that 1t has all of the qualities of truth and actuality which will appeal to every one who has been to college. But more than that, 1t Is unique in the annals of the motion picture. It has no vil- lain. No one is bribed to throw" a game. No one is kidnapped so that he can't make a spectacular run or forward pass. There are no drinking bouts and no jazzed-up sophomore hops. But it does con- tain an emotional eloquence and power which grips the throat, tears the heart and is guaranteed to force tears from the hardest boiled realist.
 An excellent program, specially selected for this occasion, accom- panies the feature picture which, incidentally, is shown at 2:20 - 4:45 - ZOO and 9:30. Starting Wednesday the feature picture will be ''Dirigible" with Jack Holt, Fay Wray and Ralph Graves.

COLUMBUS DAY QUIETLY OBSERVED
Offices at City Hall, ] Library and Branches < Closed
THE DAY IN NEW HAVEN

. Columbus Day is not having a general observance in Waterbury. To be sure the banks, schools, li- brary and courts are closed, but outside this there is nothing going on to show that the people have any interest in the event which took place four hundred and twen- ty-nine years ago, when Columbus Sighted the mainland of the Amer ican continent.
 The schools, banks, common pleas and superior courts. offices At City Hall, the library and branches were closed. The window service at the postoffice was con- tinued and the carriers made their usual rounds.
 New Haven started observed the day yesterday, will keep it up to- day and conclude the exercises to- night by a banquet at the Taft Hotel. This activity is due in a measure at least to the efforts of Siderable interest in the day was the schools for the best essays on Men"
 { To be sure the flags about the streets in Waterbury give the city q holiday appearance, and prompt people who might not have given Columbus day a thought, chance to stop and talk of what the world owes to the great navigator. Some time ago there was talk of erecting q memorial to Columbus in Wa terbury, but nothing was heard About it lately. It will come in due season and then Waterbury as well as some of the other cities will have a fitting reminder .n their midst of the man who discovered fhis continent.

VickS Announces
 New Products
Nose and Throat Drops
 and Vicks Cough Drops

Greensboro, N. C., Oct 12-The management of Wick Chemical company, makers of Vicks Vapo- Rub, is too busy cultivating old markets and creating new ones to give much thought to "depres- sion." The Wick company is a part of Drug, Inc, and in itself is one of the largest proprietary organi- zations in the country. Its phe- nominal success during the past 25 years is becoming more under standable in the present situation. Its remedy for business depression is more work, more employment and greater expenditures for mar keting Understanding an adver- Using appropriation more than doubled. This policy apparently works-and has worked through out the lifetime of the company.
 Announce Two New Products
 Early this season the manage ment announced the introduction of Vicks Vapo-Rub in a new stain less white form-"for those who prefer it." Now the company is making another aggressive move, in the announcement of two en- tirely new products-Vicks Nose and Throat Drops and Vicks Medi- cated Cough Drops-presented as "worthy allies of Vicks VapoRub in the control of colds" The company, it is to be noted, sticks to it's own field, with specialized preparations for certain types ana stages of colds.
 Public Acceptance Established
 These new Wick products are the result of many years of research Tn the Wick laboratories and have been subjected to satisfying clin- ical tests by experts both here and abroad. Last season they were in- troduced in a number of cities In various sections of the country TOT the final test of home use. Pubic acceptance was so entnusiastlc-,, demonstrating how well they m the modern needs for which they are especially designed-that the company is this year introducine them nationally, irrespective ol general market conditions. ThelI immediate success as leaders along with the old-established Vicks VapoRub is considered in advance as an accepted fact. News of new Wick products Will doubtless be of real interest In the milloins of homes where the name Vicks Is a household word. News of the Wick attitude towards busi- ness at this particular time Is o1 real interest to every branch o1 merchandising.

AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY AND
 HOT HEIRESS AT NSW GARDEN

Talking films as a medium for dramatic presentation are tested to the full and proved in "An American Tragedy" the picture based on Theodore Dreiser's great novel of the same name, which awaited production for more than five years while motion picture moguls discussed methods of re- cording its vast and striking dra- ma on celluloid.
 "Ever since the publication of Dreiser's epic novel," says Jesse L. Lasky, Paramount production chief, .the story has been under discuss ion by moving picture experts. The possibility of transferring this great story to the screen has been ques- tioned, debated and asserted. but 1t was only with the coming of talk ing pictures. that the screen be- came big enough to contain it.
 Notwithstanding the large sum of money paid for the picture rights of this story, Paramount recognized the difficulties of pro- ducing the play under the restrict ions imposed by the silent screen. I was the first to state publicity that our company would forgo the investment rdtneT tildH piOuuCc the picture in form that would limit It's inherent dramatic pow CT or compromise its great social significance.
 "Now talking pictures nave re- placed the silent films, and the talking picture production of "An American Tragedy" demonstrates to us that we were justified in waiting for this wider medium. The production, we believe. will prove the tremendous possibilities of the talking screen as a dramatic medium"
