Prizes Offered
 for Play Posters
Contest Open for Designs for Little Theater Play
 "HOtel Universe"

Hotel Universe" offers to the many artistically gifted members of the Little Theater and to the public of Waterbury a rare oppor- tunity for expressing individuality of talent and discernment in the art of poster design. In Philip Barry's superb new play, Hotel Universe" which is one of the fin est plays to be achieved by the New York Theater Guild there are powerful dramatic effects which may be reflected in the designing of posters for the contest.
 All that is necessary for anyone to be eligible for the contest is an excitable imagination and a swift brush to apply bright combina- tions of colors to the lowly card board. Of importance is the sug- gestion of an old French chateau In the background. The theme of the play is an intense moving story of unreality and magic so that the mysterious element as well as the imaginative might be employed in the design.
 The announcement accompany ing the design should include the name and author of the play to be given at the Women's Club on March 3rd, 4th and 9th.
 Posters to be entered in the contest should be submitted as soon as possible to the office at 24 Central avenue between Il and 1i a. m. Posters will be displayed

start to finish. This pair, who are funny even without specially pre- pared gags and episodes, run riot through an amusing travesty of the typical prison melodrama.
 There is no let up in hilarious situations. The pair are jailed when they innocentiy offer a po- liceman a drink; they subsequently make life miserable for their fel- low prisoners by their naive stu pidity which gets everyone in trouble; they make their escape and disguise themselves as negro cotton -pickers; they get caught again and participate in a prison riot. It is in this last episode that they train machine gun on the inmates of the prison instead of on the keepers and thus achieve a pardon although the whole thing was the result of bungling.
 Starting Thursday an ali new program will be presented for two days including Lionel Barrymore and Kay Francis in Guilty Hands, and George O'Brien in Riders of the Purple Sage."

Murder at Midnight" presented by Tiffany Productions, Inc, which Is showing at the Lyric theater, Is unauestionably one of the grandest and the most completely baffling murder mysteries that any con- noisseur of prime has seen in a long while. Not until the last mo- ment is it possible to discover the criminal and, strange to relate, everything is worked out logically.
 The first murder occurs right at the beginning of the picture dur ing a game of charades. The man who is supposed to fall dead from a shot in the game does fall actu- ally dead when the shot Is fired. The next on the list is the man who fired the gun. After him comes the maid and then the butler. How were these crimes committed and who committed them? That is something which we will leave you to find out by going to see the pie ture.

"Trader Horn" and ''Chicken!

Thrills of the widest jungles, beasts in their struggles for life, savage tribesmen in the strange, fanatical and deadly rites of the juju; crocodiles, rhino-every peril an explorer could face-these are filmed, with actual sound, in Ira der Horn," Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayors gigantic pageant of savage Africa, playing at the New Garden today and tomorrow.
 But 1t differs from anything, of the kind ever seen, for it's thrills and its wonders surround a dra- matic story-the tale of the adven- turous trader, his apprentice and the beautiful White Goddess" of the savage Isorgi. The famous book lives in actuality, as, in the origi- nal locales of it's dramatic narra- tive, it is enacted in talking pic- lures.
 Not only do we hear the voices of it's actors, but the voices of the jungle. The roars of the lions, the songs of the jungle birds the eerfe laugh of the hyena and the deep throated gurgle of the crocodile all these were recorded on the spot, with the first and only sound ap- paratus ever taken into Africa.

Hollywood.-There are problems and problems to be faced by the makers of motion pictures. But none are more difficult than a bed. The simple gesture of hopping into or out of bed can be very ordinary event. Or it might be 0 very romantic one. Yes, and it even could be indecent-all de- pending upon how it is done. .... That's what makes movie beds, and the action surrounding them, such a problem to producers-and all their underlings as far down as the prop boys.
 In the first place the beds must be just right. You probably have seen a bed on the screen and gone home wishing you had one just like 1t. But if you only knew it, you really wouldn't want that bed at all. Why? Because it was just about as uncomfortable as it possible to make. a bed.
 That's one of the rules sur rounding movie beds-they must be uncomfortable. Otherwise the aSleep III them. A LnoVle ueu Coii have no surings. Hard, flat boards are substituted. That's what makes them so uncomfort- able. Springs make funny noises whenever the person in bed moves and those noises would be picked up by the microphones. Then, too springs allow the body to sink. in. stead of having 1t prominently out. lined by the covers. l
 Directors will tell you that there
 must be a technique to getting 1T or out of bed-a technique whicf
 varies with almost every person
 Then, too, the Will Hays regula.
 tions must be observed. Everything
 in the way of actions and gar
 ments must be strictly proper.
 Furthermore, the bed scen'
 must be done just right or 1t wil
 appear Imaginable. For example
 just try to imagine Connie Ben
 nett leaping into bed with Joal
 Blondell's carefree abandonment
 or Joan trying to slide into bet
 as Ruth Chatterton would. Or
 try to picture lovely Mary Brial
 in a bed such as the exotic Garb'

 The bidding will often times give you tiff-off for good end play.
 The Bidding
 South opened the bidding with one heart. West overcalled with two clubs, North passed and East bid three diamonds, which is one more than necessary. This is a forcing bid and requires the bid- ding to be kept open until game l is arrived at. South passes and West bids four clubs, which East carries to five.
 The Play
 North had the opening lead ana led the ten of hearts, the top Of his partners suit. which East, the dummy, won with the ace, South putting on the seven-spot. The nine of hearts is returned from dummy, South playing the jack, declarer the four and North the six. South has bad hand to lead away from, so decides to lead trump. He leads the six of trump, which the declarer allows to ride to dummy's jack.
 It is easy for West to read South's hand. In order to have an original bid he is practically marked with the four kings and the queen of hearts. Declarer's next play is the ace of diamonds from dummy and then the queen. When South refuses to cover and plays the nine, the declarer dis cards the five of spades. A small diamond is then led from dum- my, South plays the king and de- clarer trumps with the five of clubs and then leads the eight of hearts. North's best defense is to discard the ten of diamonds. The dummy trumps with the deuce of clubs. The declarer must not re- turn the diamond or he will estab- i fish a trump trick fer North. The proper lead is the queen of clubs from dummy. South plays the king and the declarer wins the trick

at Peter He had been all around that
house and there was no place he could
get under. Bowser was right; it was
uesleSs to stay there. Yet somehow he
hated to give up. So he stood there
watching Bowser
Peter Rabbit, watching Flip, saw a
chance Flip had started after Bowser
and then stopped again. 1t was the few
steps he had taken away from that
hole that gave Peter his chance. He
might not have taken it had he not
discovered Robber the Rat too close
for comfort and looking uglier than
ever and apparently ready to rush at
him. That decided Peter. If he were
to be killed he would rather be killed
by Flip the Terrier than by Robber the
Rat. His long heels would at least
have a chance to save him from Flip,
but under that hen house they would
have no chance at all to save him from
Robber the Rat
Flip looked back at that hole then
once more looked after BoWser. Rob-
Der the Rat rushed. Out from that
hole shot Peter and those long hind
legs of his we're doing their best.
Straight behind Flip raced Peter and
he was going so fast that by the time
Flip had turned at the sound Of pat
tering feet he was so far that just
for a second Flip didn't see him. Then
he caught sight OF the bobbing white
spot that was Peters tail and with a
yelp he was after him.
And how Flip can run when he sets
out to! Peter was going fast, but Flip
was travelling faster Peter was heading
| for the old stone wall on the edge OF
! the Old orchard. Would he make 1t?
Not If Flip could help it, and it looked
very much as II he could. Had Peter
! taken too great chance?
