Hollywood--Good- you Die- trich followersl
 If you have any aspirations to- ward a film career, you'll have to get out of that pants class" This at least is the opinion of Carl Laemmle, dean of film producers.
 Neither the skinny girl nor the one who wears mems trousers will have much standing in pictures in the future" Laemmle declares. we want girls to maintain their natural feminine lines. Men do not like skinny women nor the mascu- line type girls are trying so hard to initiate these days. Normal ex- ercise and the possession of natural feminine charm will be the secrets of success in the future"
 Laemmle cites Mabel Warden, former Cleveland and New York actress, as an example of the type now in demand. Miss Warden, re- gently signed to a long-term con- tract by Universal is feet 4 in- ches. weighs 119 pounds, measures S4 inches. around the bust and s5 inches around the hips.

Toi- rence's last appearance in films marks the finest performance of his and distinguished career as an ac- tor. His characterization of the tough old sea dog who makes an unsavory living for himself and his daughter, Julie, Is unforgettable as was George Marion's old "Chris" in m Metros version of Eugene O'Neilrs "Anna Christie"
 The splendid acting of Ben Lyon as the reporter who uncovers the unlawful activities of old Eli for the sake of a sensational news beat for his paper, and of Claudette Colbert, as Julie, help to make T Cover the Waterfront" one of the most distinguished pictures of the wear. All the lesser roles of the picture are well played, particular iy the bit contributed by Maurice Black in the death scene on ship- board.

While public utility companies escaped with comparatively little or no damage during the snow and rain storm which struck the city yesterday morning and ragged Throughout the day, pedestrian ms and motorists were greatly hamp- cred. The storm, ceasing at about o'clock last evening. left slushy covering on the ground which, freezing during the night, made walking and riding decidedly dam gerous this morning.
 About thre inches of snow fell in Waterbury yesterday between 2 o'clock in the morning and O. clock last night. But while the storm ragged through these hours snow cid not fall all the time Early in the afternoon the snow changed to rain and then changed back to snow again early last even- ing. Finally it ended up In a rain and the clouds went away and the stars shone at about o'clock lns' night.
 The snow storm dld no damage to the electric and telephone lines according to officials of, those con. cerns. 1t did givo the trolley com pany considerable trouble. how. ever. keeping up to schedule, How ever, the trolleys and busses bat tied through the slush.
 Throughout the day and las' night crews of tho Connecticut ' Company were kept busy keeping the tracks cleared of the snow and Blush. Local factories also cooper nted as well as the city street de- partment, Tho street department had several blows working and st did one or two of the local factor les.
 Superintendent of Street' Thomas Fleming stated to-dny thn' the storm was the "sloppiest" oI the winter and gave tho depart ment much additional work be- cause 1t vas necessary to rush the work of clearing gutters so that tho water might be carried off through the storm sewers.

were busy about the thoroughfarcs of Waterbury clearing out flooded places as the sun caused heavy thawing.
 The snow storm made work for people cleaning and sanding side- walks. Many thought that the rain would carry off the snow but in this they were mistaken and had a bigger job getting rid of 1t to-day then would have had if they hat att tended to the job last night. AS usual. some took no notice of the sidewalks and trusted to luck not to be reported for winking at the law. Cleaning walks Is considered quite chore to which private cit- izens do not take kindly.
 Therefore, early this morning many walks were dangerously slip pery. As for hilly streets, auto- mobiles proceeded cautiously be- cause of the danger of accidents.
