Catalogued Sale.

CatalOgued Sale. ~
 The 17th catalogued sale of the Waterbury Stamp club will be held Monday night at the club rooms in the Mattatuck Historical society building on West Main street. Members are asked to bring their printed lists with them. Mail bids may be sent to l.. A. Hall or to Dudley W. Atwood. Some excel lent items are on the list which is quite lengthy (56 lots in alD. Mint sets of Kansas and Nebraska overprint singles are included in the catalogue. And any other number of choice blocks of four and six can be had. As this is the second meeting of the fall sea- son for the local club a bumper attendance is anticipated.
 First Meeting.
 The Valley Stamp club opened the 1932-33 season with its first meeting last Friday night at 7:3O o'clock at the Central Y. M. c. A. One of the busiest seasons is an- ticipated. In its first bulletin the stamp club cites ten reasons for joining it. They are: 1, a bunch of good fellows; 2, a chance to trade your duplicates with other members; 3, attend our annual parties at the "Y"; 4, chance to get Scott's Catalouge at a low price; 5, first day covers at cents each; 6, chance to win prizes at the Annual Exhibition; 2, see the collections of famous collectors; 8, entitled to a swim every Friday night; g, any information about stamps needed; 10, leadership by leader who is stamp collector. If that isn't sufficient to interest any boy with penchant for stamp collecting then what is.
 Good Speciality.
 Issuance of so many commemor- atives in the last few years has opened an avenue of specialization that many collectors have quietly been taking advantage of. Dealers likewise, have recognized it and are consequently profiting thereby. It is nothing more nor less than complete plate number sets. All four positions of the same num- Der can't always be obtained, un- less the collector actually buys them himself at the post office or philatelic agency. And very often then he can't secure perfect set for one of the blocks may be off center, while the other three are perfectly centered. However, it is best not to seek too much per lection in this specialization. The complete sets, four blocks of four. make gorgeous display. The Washington Bicentennials offer a splendid chance for anybody to experiment along this line.
 New Commcmoratives.
 The Webster and Penn com mems will be with us before long. October "A is the official date for first day sales. It is to be hoped that the government will also keep this in mind and not allow the stamps to be distributed to selected individuals or concerns, as it did in the case of the Arbor Day stamp. While Uncle Sam is still issuing stamps for general usage the vast majority of commemorative stamps usually are bought up by stamp collectors and not those mortals who believe a stamp is simply something to be affixed to an en- velope. Three first day cities have been designated for each oi these commemorative and covers in limited numbers may be sent to the postmasters there, provided, oi course, the correct amount oi money Is transmitted to pay for postage.

 The comedy feature is Torch Passes the Buck"
 The romance of a simple fireman with the self-spfficient secratary of a big manufacturer, filmed against background of sparkling comedy and thrilling fires, is related with dramatic effect in "Flames", the brilliant Monogram attraction play ing at the New Garden Saturday only.
 The picture presents a fresh, and convincing angle on the thrilling every day existence of the brave fire-fighters in a great city. The perils to which they subject them selves in the course of their ordin- ary dutie, and the cool nonchalance with which they nut necearily &C., cept them, enhance the pectacular depletion of immene blaze and narrow ecape from flaming death.
 Johnny Mack Brown, who won 1aurels for his clever portrayal of Billy. the Kid" and as leading man for Garbo, Mary Pickford and Joan Crawford, plays the role of the brave fireman, while his lead ing lady is Noel Francis, former Ziegfeld Follies star. Others in the cast are Richard Tucker. Marjorie Beebe, Geonge Cooper, Kit Guard and Russell Simpson.

"HORSEFEATHERS" WITH THE FOUR MARX BROTHERS OP- EMS AT WARMERS STATE TO- MORROW

Ruth Chatterton, starring with
 her husband, George Brent in
 "The Crash" and Wheeler and Woolsey in the comedy classic
 Hold .'Em Jair', closes at War;
 ners' State tonight. -4f Tomorrow brings the Four Marx Brother, more cocoanutty than ever cavorting in "Horsefeathers'' their funiest picture yet.
 This time the setting is dear old
 Huxley college. with all four of the MArx-men determined to fight fiercely for their alma mammy against the threatening gestures of
 rival Darwin. Groucho is the col Iege president, a post he has ac- cepted because 1t seems the only
 way in which he can get his son Zeppo out of college. Zeppo has been a freshman for 12 years. Un- der Groucho's tutlage he wins his diploma, his letter in football, and the girl-- one at time, of course after some of the most hilarious sequences this reviewer has yet seen on the screen.
 Harpo and Chico Marx are as
 whimsically funny as ever. Harpo,
 as the town dog. catcher, working his way through college, chases canines this time, instead of girls. Now and then. however. he errs, but the girls are so pretty that it's quite the human thing to do. Chico is an amorous iceman and a foot ball star in the rough---so rough.
 in fact, that even the refsree quails when he starts through broken field with a football under his sweater. At the end they light a huge bonfire to celebrate Huxley's v-i-c-t-o-r-y, and what matter that the college itself burns down while these nitwits Neros fiddle, dance and cavort about with the campus cuties It's all In fun.

York Sun has been seeking data on the number of Washington cachets that were applied this year. It will be interesting to- get the final results in this tally, but no doubt that can't be accomplish ed until the end of the year. Since 1892 is the bicentennial year every body is Washington conscious. As result the number of cachets has been chiefly on the increase for this reason. However, towns and various organizations have almost dealt the cachet a black eye by the frequency with which they applied them and for the slightest pretext. Washington's s Bicentennial constitutes a good reason for a cachet, but even this can be overdone. There are a lot of stamps collectors who will be glad when 1892 is past history for this very reason. ''.
 BroOklyn's Gain.
 J. c. Won Losberg in the current issue of Mekeers Weekly Stamp News informs the world of philate- ly that Brooklyn, N. Y., is how uni- que in that in it's post office there is one window intended solely for the use of philatelists. Postmaster Albert W. Firmin has set aside this window so that Brooklyn's phila- telists can purchase to their hearts content just what they want. Only current issues of samps, naturally, will be carried there, so in no way can the new window be construed as competing with the Philatelic Agency at Washington

 Wide Variety of Parts
 These parts, usually assigned to "bit" players. included tdoormen walters, bartenders. pages. hotel guests, clerks, elevator mon, tele- phone girls. maids. telegraph mes- sengers, policemen. merchants falesmen and other characters who for perhaps only q moment, be- came important In the spectacuIat drama enacted withing the walls oi the hosteiry. 7If

Garbo To Be Absent For Year. But
 Hollywood Won t Fold Up And Quit
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood.A .APerhaps by this time you're plain sick and tired of hearing that Garbo is going to do this and do independently since she doesn't always do the things she is supposed to. Yet how could regard myself as a good reporter if I overlooked seemingly legiti- mate news about the foremost lady of the screen?
 And so here is another bit of news concerning la Garbo. She definitely will not return to this country from her native Sweden for another year. In the meantime Metro Goldwyn- Mayer plans to re-. issue "Anna& Christie" Remember this first talkie of the Swedish actress with it's catch line "Garbo Speaks? It also was the film which made Marie Dressler a star.
 wonder just what will happen when the star does return from Sweden. A year is a long time in the picture business. Others have been forgotten in that length of time. Will Garbo?
 Grcta and Won Stroheim Tilt
 All of which brings us down to a recently unearthed story about what happened during the film seems that Garbo and Erich von Stroheim didn't get along any bet ter off the screen than on it. Final ly the actress requested Won to leave the set entirely when his presence wasn't actually required as there was something about your face which annoys me-" He clicked his heels, bowed and com piled.
 A few days later it was Won Stroheim's turn. Noticing her witching scene, he paused in his acting and repeated to her in sub stance the request she had made of him.
 Garbo fumed. Others on the set filtered. Nobody ever had dared speak in such @ manner to the great star. Everyone knew that something was bound to happen. It did. i
 "vot's diss?" the actress ex- ,ploded.
 Won stroheim again repeated his request, explaining that he couldn't do his best work when she, was around. They glared at each other for a moment-and then Garbo left the set.
 o-O-o
 That brings to mind the fact that SVon Stroheim, back in his role of director again, is right on schedule at the end of three weeks shooting Oh Walking Down Broadway" Perhaps that doesn't mean much to you. But. it's good for 10-inch headlines in Holly wood.
 @ And Virginia Trent pens for some dirt on Gary Cooper for her especial benefit. Gary is bad sub ject for dirt right now. But how's this? Finis apparently having been written to the Countess Frasso epi- sode,. Gary's long, yellow and green car was seen parked in front of Lupe's home the other evening. Could that he starting again?
