 Father O'Shea was the third pastor of St Michaers church and his splendid labors at the Cathe- dral school in Hartford suggested him for the post of overseer of Catholic High school here. Under his conscientious care the Water vile parish and Catholic High school have notably prospered. Preceding him as pastor of St Mi- chaePs church were Rev Matthew Traynor, appointed in 1902, and Rev David R. O'Donnell, named in 1917.

Honolulu, T. H. = On the far side of this island, about 70 miles from here, Is a small white bun- galow surrounded by a spacious yard filled with newly planted young trees. This bungalow Is the Hawaiian home of Janet Gaynor.
 Janet comes over here every time she Is given sufficient rest. between films. She comes here crest, she said. She gets plenty of rest at her bungalow. She couldn't possibly do anything else.
 Also, she is away from prying eyes, of which there are plenty here. Honolulu is a great movie city.
 There is one place here that never is passed up by the movie folk who visit Honolulu Mochizuki's, a Japanese tea house. Consisting of Is small cottages built along the shores of minia- ture lake, 1t is one of the most picturesque spots in Honolulu.

 A Native Feast
 No visit here would be complete without attending a native luau (banquet). Of course. these af- fairs attended by white people are staged. The entire main course, consisting of pig and vege- tables of various kinds. is cooked in a huge hole dug in the ground.
 However, the best part of the luau, according to Pat O'Brien and Bob Woolsey, is the hula dapcing which follows the feast. Those na- tive girls certainly know their hula.
 At that. I'll bet Ruby Keeler could give any one of them 8 few tips on dancing. What she did in "42d Street" didn't begin to display her talents.

pickford Picture
 pIeases State Patrons

State theater audiences have been enjoying one of the most beautiful love romances of the sea- son in secrets" Mary Pickford's 's first picture in more than two years. It concludes its engagement at the State tomorrow.
 Secrets" is one of the most beautiful productions that has yet come out of Hollywood, and the star looks younger and more anaaz- ingly pretty than ever. Her per formance is excellent, as Is the work of all others in the cast, es- pecially that of Leslie Howard in the role of a romantic lover.
 The story begins in Salem. Mass. travels acrosA the continent to Monterey, Calf, and back again to Washington, D. C., entwihing with it the life threads of two people, following their joint careers from youth to old age.
 In addition to beauty and TO- nance, there is also plenty of melo- drama. While raising cattle in the west, the principals are beleaguered by a band of cattle rustlers in a terrifying night fight which deals death along with justice.
 Generally speaking, Secrets is the story of the love and devotion of a loyal wife who sees her hus- band through many trying situa- tions to final wealth and political fame. It presents very unusual way the problem of a wife con- fronted by the fact that her hus- band has been unfaithful. In these dramatic scenes are disclosed some remarkable work on the part of the star and Leslie Howard.
 Anyone who ever doubted that Mary Pickford could act should by all means see this picture. Her performance is greatly heightened. of course, by the sterling perform ance of Leslie Howard who will be remembered for his marvellous per- formance in "The Animal King dom."
 Wednesday brings another mar velous double feature program headed by Alison Skipworth. Mad anne Racketeer" herself. in "A Lady's Profession" in which she is supported by Roland Young. Sari Maritza and other favorites. Also Robert Montgomery and Sally Ell CTS in Made on Broadway.

New President of Harvard
(Continued from Page 1)

he had celebrated his 10th birth day anniversary.
 James Bryant Conant, named by the Harvard corporation to-day to be 18th president of Harvard col lege, has been identified with Harvard university both as stu dent and a teacher since 1910 and as a member of the division of chemistry since 1916.
 Though still 8 young man he is widely recognized as a leader in modern scientific research at the university.
 Professor Conant has just passed his 40th birthday and his election would make him one of the young est Harvard presidents in the long line extending back to Henry Dun- ster, who was chosen firse presi- dent of Harvard in 1640.
 Conant's nomination also is of interest in that it marks second occasion in which a scientist has been named Harvard president. The late President Eliot also was professor of chemistry when he was named in 1869 but before that Harvard held closely to the tradi- tiona of choosing from among the clergy for it's presidents. Dr Lowell, however, was lawyer and a professor of government.
 James Bryant Conant was born in Dorchester, Mass, March 26. 1893, son of James Scott Conant and Jennett Bryant Conant.
 He prepared for college at Rox- burH Latin school, where his first teacher of chemistry was N. Henry Black, now also a member of the Harvard faculty and 8 col- laborator with Conant on several widely-known school and college texts.
 In September, 1910. Conant en- tered Harvard as freshman. This was the first year after President Lowell's election. Thus, Conants own Harvard experience as a student and teacher nearly covers the entire span of Dr LowelPs ad- ministration.
 In the intervening 23 years, Harvard authorities pointed out' Conant has had an opportunity to observe and participate in the far-reaching changes at Harvard and to understand clerly the pres ent tendencies in the development of the university.
 At Harvard, Conant specialized in chemistry, graduating in three years with high honors. He was a member of Phi Beta Kappa ana holder of an honorary John Har- yard scholarship, and also was an undergraduate editor of the liar ward Crimson, daily newspaper.
 Folfowing his graduation in 1913. Conant worked for a summer in the laboratory of the Midvale Steel company in Philadelphia and at that time thought seriously Of entering business. In the autumn he returned to Harvard to con tinue his study of chemistry. ob- taining his doctors degree in June' 1916.

Royal Family
 Play at Strand

The Royal Family of The Thea ire, John, Ethel and Lionel Barry more. are to be seen at Warmers Strand today and tomorrow in "Rasputin and The Empress" No better vehicle could have been chosen than the dramatic story of the last days of the Romanoff dynasty, colorful as a period play yet so modern that it is within the memory of this gen. eration. One sees Rasputin in his maze of intrigues, orgies, hypnotic spells and duplicity, and while it seems inconceivable, remembers when these self-same things were the topic of the newspapers.
 The Barrymores bring the char acters of virtual life. John is a brilliant figure as the debonair Prince Chegodieff. Ethel Barry more offers a stirring picture of the ill-fated empress. The role was reality to herd = the Russian empress was her friend-and hence she plays it with depth of under standing and knowledge that at once stamps the performance as far beyond a mere piece of acting. Lionel Barrymore, as the sinister Holy Devil" in makeup that seems to be almost his reincarnation, was never more compelling. Distin- guished work is also done by Ralph Morgan, as the czar; Diana Wynyard, as Princess Natasha; Tad Alexander as the czarevttch; c. Henry Gordon and Edward Arnold.
 Wednesday brings George Raft and Sylvia Sidney in "Picy-Up" and Warren William in ''The Mind Reader" with Constance Cum mings. Friday and Saturday the Strand will offer "The Keyhoie" and "Whistling Tn The Dark" Coming soon are such hits as Cav alcade", Gabriel Over Tho White- house., "Sweepings". "The White Sister. christopher Strong" and Murders In The oo'.

summer in business, he was ap- pointed as an instructor at Har- yard.
 On Americas entry into the World war ,Conant was called to Washington where he served with the bureau of chemistry and the bureau of mines. He was stationed at the American university experi- mental station in Washington and engaged in research connected with the development of war gas.
 In August, 1918, he was com missioned a major in the chemical warfare service and transferred to Cleveland, O., on special duty to establish a 1arge-scale production unit for the chemical warfare ser- vice.
 After his discharge from the service, he returned to Harvard in 1919 as assistant professor of chemistry. In 1925 he spent near ly eight months in Germany to study the methods of research and instruction in the principal Ger man universities.
 On his return he was promoted to associate professor and two years later to that of full profess Sor.

 Answering the question whether he would use the great powers be- ing granted by congress to expand credit and currency and cheapen the dollar, the presidnet defined his policy last night as follows:
 "The administration has the defi- nite objective of raising commodity prices to such an extent that those who have borrowed money will, on the average. be able to repay that money in the same kind Of dollar which they borrowed.
 "We do not seek to let them get such a cheap dollar that they will be able to pay back great deal less than they borrowed. In other words, we seek to correct wrong and not to create another wrong in the opposite direction"

 Ut is rather partnership be- tween government and farming and industry and transportation" he said, mot partnership in profits, for the profits would still go to the citizens, but rather a partnership in planning and a partnership to see that plans are carried out"
 Expressing belief that probably 90 per cent of the firms in any given industry were eager to adopt voluntary, self-imposed regulation, Mir Roosevelt said the governments interest was in bringing the other ten per cent into agreement.
 Government" he said, ought to have the right and will have the right after surveying and planning for an industry. to prevent, with the assistance of the overwhelming majority of that industry, unfair practice and to enforce this agree ment by the authority of the gov- ernment.
 "The so-called antitrust laws were intended to prevent the crea- ton of monopolies. That purpose of the antitrust laws must be con- tinued, but these laws were never intended to encourage the kind of unfair competition that results in long hours. starvation wages and overproduction."
 The president expects to devote much of his time this week to formulation of measure to carry out this idea.

pulsory physical examination of all those seeking marriage licenses.
 Incidentally, the committee on public health and safety has voted favorably on the bill calling for compulsory examination of those seeking licenses. The bill, as whole, including compulsory ex- animation and the 10-day notice clauses, has been approved.
 Medical authorities throughout Connecticut have supported the compulsory examination part of the bill. The increase from five to ten days on notice of intention to marry is the real surprise. Two years ago the five-day clause was enacted.
 Section three of the pending bill stipulates that mo registrar shall issue a certifcate until the tenth day following the filing of applica- ton for such." The necessary ex- emptions, depending on probate court action, are provided in the new bill, of course.
 The purpose of compulsory phy- sical examinations is to prevent person with venereal diseases from being married while they are suffering from such affiictions.

 part portrayed by Warren Will liam, is inspired by newspaper headlines that revealed a startling fraud following the suicide of a fi- nancial wizard. The character is drawn in vivid coloring by Einar Thornvaldson in her novel and from which the screen play was adapted by Huston Branch and Sidney Sutherland. The screen touches on a romantic phase in high financing and monumental swindles that are almost unbeliev- able.

 As far as could be learned to- day the change is not a matter of economy or a change can be cred ited to the ''new deal" It has been Whispered that the reason for the change is that some of the com lnissioners object to using the autos after a load of prisoners had been Transported to the jail.
