PARAMOUNT HIT TROUBLE IN PARADISE" WITH KAY FRANCIS AND HERBERT MARSHALL NOW AT THE STATE.

Ernst tLubitsch's Trouble In Paradise''i Is the current feature attraction at Warmers State and features Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, Miriam Hopkins, Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Hor- ton.
 Trouble In Paradise is an adaptation of witty farce by Laszlo Aladar, 1@Viennese play wright. With easy good humor 1t relates the adventures of two super-crooks, Miss Hopkins and Marshall, who are so adept that they not only prey without detec- tion upon European society. but. in more playful moments, skillfully steal each others garters.
 Ultimately they select Miss Francis, lovely widow with a bank balance containing as many zeroes as the European war debt, as a victim. Miss Francis appar- ently falls easily into their trap. But then Miss Hopkins discovers something wrong with her partner in crime. The prospective victim possesses charms for him that have nothing to do with her for tune! A farcical but dramatic climax ultimately sets the course of true love to rights.
 A very fine surrounding program accompanies the feature presenta- tion which Is made at 1:45, 3:45, 5:45, 7:45 and 9:45. Wednesday brings another delightful double feature program to include Cen tral Park" with Joan Blondell, Wallace Ford and Guy Kibbes also MT Robinson Crusoe" starring Douglas Fairbanks and a big cast of tanned and untamed performers.

M0NZkNI DECLARES STORY MISLEADING
RUSSIANS ARE
 PAYING SILVER FOR GOOD FOOD
Govt Trying to Reclaim All
 Silver, So People Trade
 Out Their Silver Heir- ! looms

Moscow, Dec 12.-(UP)-Rus-
 sians traded table silver, coins. medals, loving cups, and other silver articles for food and clothing today after the government launch-
 ed nationwide effort to reclaim silver.
 An official announcement said
 food shops would accept any kind
 of silver just as gold has been ac-
 cepted. The price for silver was 12 rubles per kilogram, but high prices for foods made the purchas- ing price extremely low. For ex- ample, a whole kilogram of silver (35.S ounces avoirdupois) was re- quired to buy pair of shoes. 137 grams for two pounds of butter.
 and 63 grams for two pounds of meat.
 Nevertheless, the call for silver
 was received jubilantly by thou sands of families who may ex-
 change the family silver for food
 delicacies they have not enjoyed for years. The drive, like the gold mobilization of last year, was ex- pected to bring in millions of
 rubles in silver and help the gov
 ernment meet it's foreign obliga- tions.

MOVIES READ FUTURE IN THE STARS
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood--The movie produc- CTS arc hitching their wagons to the starsi And the more of them they can get into harness for a single picture. the quicker will the
 flicker industry be pulled out of a hole. At least that's the way the producers feel about 1t as a new year approaches.
 They will make a determined attempt to get out of the red in 1883. The attempt already Is gain ing momentum. Of course, as a i panies may be thrown into friend ly receiverships to rid them of staggering theater leases.
 But the thing which counts inso- far as the public is concerned, is 1.-the production program for the next 12 months.
 More all-star films! That's the policy which producers believe will lure more persons into the movie theaters during 1883. Films with really big names. Most all- star films of the past really have been made with no-star casts. But not any longer. Already we have had a few genuine all-star produce tions, outstanding among them Grand Hotel" with Garbo, Joan Crawford, the two Barrymores, Wallace Beery and Lewis Stone. Then "Smilin' Through" re- gently finished, brought together Norma Shearer, Fredric March and Leslie Howard-three front rank stars. Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou were teamed Tor "A Farewell to Arms" Now Miss Hayes is being co-starred with Ramon Novarro. in "Son Daughter with Warner Oland thrown in for good measure. It's the second time in recent years that Novarro has been CO., starred with anyone. The first time was with Garbo in "Mata Hari."
 State Fair" has Janet Gaynor, Will Rogers, Lew Ayers and Sally Eilers, all box office names. 'No Man of Her Own" now in produc- tion, has Clark Gable, Carole Lombard and Dorothy Mackaill. Sign of the Cross" brought to- gether March. Elissa Landi and Claudette Colbert:
 Now they're making Lives of a Bengal Lancer with March. Give Brook, Gary Cooper and Richard Arlen all in the cast. l "Rasputtin" boasts all three
 Barrymores-Ethel, John and Lionel. Trouble in Paradise brought together Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis and Herbert Marsh all. And there are more to some which makes 1t look like really bright year lies ahead for the movie fans.

Claims Coroners Fees Should Be

Published Reports Unfair, Says Local Official, Since They Fail to Sfipulats Where Large Sums of Money Are Spent C0rOners Made Targets

i lcoronevs rise to, join in the chorus
 and they are saying, ssit isn't so." The published story which Cor
 6ner Afonzani and other officials
 throughout the state are claiming
 to be misleading and a contradic-
 ton of fact reads in part as fol-
 lows:
 The total of. bills footed by the state for courts in 1881 was $1,-
 396,707, the sum including the ex- penses of the supreme and superior courts, the courts of common pleas. 1 the state referees. reporter of judi 1 ciai opinions. sheriffs. Danbury traf- 1 fIc court and the state's attorneys. Justices of the superior courts re- ceived a total of $157.161 for their services in the form of salaries. Of the gcoroners, the fees of the coroner of New Haven county su- perior- court totaled $22,001 and of the New Haven county superior court at Waterbury $13,183. The Fairfield county superior court list ed coroner's fees at $20,700 and the Hartford county superior court listed fees to the same official of E$14,585.
 U Salaries paid in superior courts

Statements issued in Hartford and published throughout the state relative to fees paid to coroners in Connecticut for the past year have touched orr a verbal bomb among officials affected.
 Coroner John T. Monzani of Wa terbury speaking for this section of the New Haven county considers the figures as unjust to the extent that mo- comprehensive explana- tions accompany the statement that $l3,183 were paid out in. fees to the Waterbury section of the New Haven county. The intimation is that the money represents the fees or salaries paid officials.
 The amount, according to Attor- ney Monzani includes compensa- ton for the coroner; deputy cor oner, medical examiner, stenog- rapher, transportation expenses, cost of photos and maps, witness fees, allowances to persons noti- flying the medical examiner of a violent death, mileage and other incidentals. Although Waterbury is given the lowest expense account in the localities mentioned, Cor oner Monzani and Deputy Coroner Walter J. Smyth and others asso- ciated with the local coroner's of- flee believe 1t only fair that the public should know the facts con- corning the expenditures. The gist of the published story is that the fees paid to coroners fin this state exceeds the combined salaries of the justices of the state supreme court. Coroners in 1891 received $92,663 in fees and the su- prenie court justices, $60,500. A study of the list from one angle would indicate that the position of coroner is better paying propo- sition than a judgeship. As far as actual salaries are concerned the

"ALL-AMERICAN" AND 1.-THE CONQUERORS" ON GREAT DOUBLE FEATURE BILL AT STRAND TO-DAY.

Hollywood has kept faith with a public that has nursed the motion picture since it's nickelodeon birth. From the celluloid mills has come a film production that dares to honestly portray an undiscussed but romantic era in the history of the United States.
 It is the RKO's Radio Picture. ''The Conauerors," which opened to-day at Warmers Strand Theater with Richard Dix and Ann Hard ing in the co-starring roles.
 Here at last, is something on the screen that every man, woman and child in Waterbury should see. 1t is a powerful and stirring flesh and-blood document of what America has faced and survived during three major depressions since 1873.

Insurance For The Unemployed Of Mass.
 Was Recommended
Committee Appointed By Governor Ely After l7 Months Work Presents Insurance Plan That Would Be Compulsory

Features of the commissions unemployment insurance plan fol- low:
 1.-The employer would con- tribute to maintained un- employment reserve fund an amount equal to 2 per cent of the wages. of employees receiving | $1,500 or less year.
 2.-Four weeks, after being laid off or dismissed without personal fault the idle worker in the $1.50O | or less wage class would receive half pay, up to $10 week. for not more than 10 weeks a year. 8. - The employer would con- tribute only per cent when his reserve equalled $50 or more for each protected employe; contribu- tions would be suspended when 1t equal1ed $75 or more; And If the reserve should become exhausted. his liability would cease. 4. The employer could adopt a substitute relief plan, if it's bene- fits equalled those of the general plan.
 5. - Those employing less than 10 persons would be exempted, as would farmers and certain special employments.
 6. - The state treasurer would maintain each employers reserve as a.. separate, non-transferabie account.
 z. = The fund of reserves would be invested in government bonds, until such time as federal legisla- ton would permit their being de- posted in q federal reserve bank at nominal interest.
 8. The state would pay the cost of administering the fund. After san elaborate exposition of the plan. the commission declared:
 The fundamental case for un- employment reserves lies in the fact that under democratic form of society4we are practically forced to prevent any large scale starva- tion. Funds must be provided somehow. Gathered during times of stress, through taxation or by gifts, they tend to make conditions worse. Like other reserves for contingency they should be gath cred in good times if they are to do the most good and the least .harm. And if so, they must be systematically provided for. <. -
 The plan was approved unan- imously by Chairman King and his six associate commissioners: President Karl T. Compton of Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, President James T. Nor iarty of the State Federation of Labor, State Labor Commissioner Edwin s. Smith. Henry s. Denni- son, Birmingham manufacturer. Henry F. Kendall of Boston. and Joseph Lafontaine of Brockton.
