''T'he Little Giant
 Opening at State
Edward G. Robinson Pre- scented in Sequel to
 Little Caesar"

Edward G. Robinson, whose Little Caesar" characterization will ever be regarded as one of the finest ever shown on the screen, returns to Warmers State Saturday. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in the sequel to Little Caesar" The title of his new picture is "The Little Giant" and its comedy drama with the star at his very best.
 Just as so many recent fine pic lures which have come out of the Warner Bros First National studios dealt with unusually timely and in- teresting topics, so does "The Little Giant" deal with a timely subject that of a beer baron, who sees the handwriting on the wall when President Roosevelt Is elected, and quits the racket to take a fling at being a gentleman and social climber.
 Gangsters and gamblers, accord ing to a well established police maxim, never know when to quit The former are usually speeded in their departure by salvo of lead

 seizes the opportunity offered by
 the last national elections to cash
 in and get out.
 That isn't all, however. In fact it's only the beginning. Ahearn-
 played by Robinson with relish and gusto-has seclEtly cherished an ambition some day to live like a gentleman and be accepted as such in those social circles where wealth and blue blood are the open sesames. Calling his trusty gang together, he bids them farewell and goes forth alone except for his trusted lieutenant, to break into society and live like a gentleman
 Casting about for suitable scene for his social debut, Bugs
 picks Santa Barbara, California, millionaires' playground. He moves in, rents palatial estate and waits for things to happen.
 Things are not long in happen ing, either. Before Robinson dis covers that the underworld he knows so we'll has no monopoly on racketeers, he has taken up polo yachting and all of the other swag- ger tricks of the upper crust. To complicate matters, he has fallen

Tom Mix to
 Play at Garden
Vaudeville Show to Ampli- fly Western Stars
 Picture

Steadily increasing Sunday pat ronage at the New Garden theater shows that the amusement seekers of Waterbury and suburban towns appreciate Manager Halliwell's eff forts to provide them with stage entertainment in conjunction with all the leading picture hits.
 Three quality vaudeville acts have been secured from one of Broadway's leading booking ex- changes for this Sunday, and you will have the opportunity to see Sandy Ackland, Scottish Comedian in Ask the Folks from Scotland"; i; keaton and Paige in Comedy Cap CTS from the Wise Crackers and Ed and Mae Ernie in Three Feet of Rhythm"
 The hardest wallop since Jack Dempsey! Most shooting, tightin', ridin' and honest-t screen action since the good old days of the Gold Nugget Saloon and the bold bad men of the Roar ing West! More romance than 0 starlit night on the Venetian can als! That is the million candle power Tom Mix-the greatest cow boy star of them all-in his second talking photoplay Rider of Death Valley, that makes its suspicious appearance at the New Garden theater Sunday for one day. This time Mix is the herman hero of a beautiful girl whom circumstances have sent into treacherous desert with equally treacherous compan- ions-all in search of a fortune in gold. Charming Lois Wilson is that girl and Fred Kohler and Forrest Stanley enact the williams of the engaging story. Tony, the acknow- ledged most famous horse in the world, is, as usual, very much in evidence in the Western stars film adventures.
 The companion attraction is "The Lightning Flyer" with James Hall and Dorothy Sebastian. A dare devil race between a high-power- ed automobile and a locomotive go- ing full blast-the stirring spec tacle of wild freight dashing pell nell down a steep grade a head-on collision narrowly averted. These and many more thrills are in "The Lightning Flyer"
 Also on the bill are likeable short subjects. Your attention is called to the two outstanding feat urcs coming Monday for two days, "Out All Night" with Slim Sum- merville and Zasu Pitts, Laura Hope Crews and Shirley Grey, a local girl. No more sparkling screen comedy has been shown on the To- cal screen than "Out All Night, and we recommend 1t to you very

very hard time getting back to the
house. My host, with one of the serv-
ants and myself. all went into the eel
lar. There we stayed until 2 o'clock the
next morning. The wind died down as
suddenly as it had come, and a dead
calm descended. Telephone and tele-
graph wires were down-we were abSo-
lutely cut off from the outside world so
We were anxious to see what had hap
pened in town and get word to

use candles 1Or light. For TWO DAYS
all we had for nourishment was bananas
and rain water. With the latter. the
salt spray of the ocean had mixed to
form a nauseous drink. When we
came up from the cellar We found the
rooms in wreckage Some Of the WIN
dows had blown in. lamps were shat
tered and must of the glassware, etc.
But on the whole the damage was
slight, because the house had been built
with a view to cyclones. AS soon as
possible we made our way through the
debris to Xanadu, the Dupont house

course on the estate. Windows were
smashed. The sight of that once so
beautiful home now in such o condi-
ton made up almost weep. All the
trees on the golf course were gone.
Tons Of sea weed and thousands of
Tapping fish had left by the sea as it
receded. A dredge weighing 80 tons
had been lifted bodily out Of Cardenas
Bay and blown 500 yards through the
on the driveway. The sea along Vara-
dero Beach, which is usually crystal
clear. with streaks of dark blue and
palest green, was turned into a wild
caldron of sand and flotSam, and was
a dirty gray in color.
I'VE were fearful Of what we would
find when We reached to the town of
Varadero, but We made our way there
and the sight that greeted us was ter
rible. There simply wasn't any town.
Only a twisted mass of Wreckage. The
people had fled to Cardenas. Nothing
but ruined walls stood where houses
had been. There were only two houses
left in the town. Then we went to
Cardenas, where the damage was great
est. Thirty people had been killed and
more than 200 injured. The town was
entirely without food or water, and
sanitary conditions were horrible when
the Red Cross arrived with supplies.
Waters Cover Town.
The waters Of Cardenas Bay had
risen feet in the streets OF Car
denas, and when they receded left a
dirty mass Of slime and dead fish. The
next day the stencil of dying things
was frightful. Practically all the sugar
refineries along the water front Of Car
denas were either wholly destroyed or
heavily damaged Large barges and
ScnoonerS were blown against the sides
of houses. l saw one barge, $50 feet
long, broken in half, one part in sec
ton of Cardenas. The stern had crashed
into an oil tanker and turned it COM
pletely over. One of the barges had
moved 300 gallon oil tank 20 feet
of its foundations. Palm trees were
strewn across the narrow streets.
The beautiful residence of the man
ager Of the international Harvester
Co.'S SiSal plant, near Varadero. was
completely demolished, as well as the
greater part of the plant. To give some
idea of the force OF the wind, the steel
water tank and its l00-foot tower. also
of steel. was left a twisted mass. Wind
mills, upon which the inhabitants Of
CardenaS depended fol their water sup
ply, were wrecked and streWn along the
streets.
Crop Loss Serious.
lone Of the worst disasters to the
Cuban people Is the destruction of their
banana crops. upon which the poorer
people depend for food. The road be-
tween Cardenas and Varadero was
blocked for "a hours. due to the de-
bris and fallen trees. At Varadero
during the height of the hurricane
had seen a beautiful big tree zipping
past the house at terrific speed.
Saturday night the moon cleaned
over such a scene Of desolation and
wreckage that can hardly be imagined
unless one had been there. That same
moon had shone only the night before
in all of its calm beauty on the white
sands of the perfect beach at Varadero
and bathed the beautiful lawns, the
exotic flowers and the well-kept golf
course of the estate"
