 New Hours Assigned to Headquarters Staff

Lieutenant John Dunphy is at pres ent working from a. m. to 4 D. m.; Captain Richard Leroy from 4 D, m. to midnight and Sergeant Joseph Bagley from midnight to 8 a. m. The officers will change every month or perhaps every three months.
 Although the hours are those proposed for the three platoons 1t is not expected that they will be adopted for the entire department. There is still hitch over whether veterans should be expect ed to revolve with the younger members of the department. The difference of opinion has caused police commissioners to delay ac- ton on the change for several years. Until the boys" go into a huddle and come out with a satis- factory plan they will be required to work on the present hours of 4 a. m. to 12 noon; 12 to D. m., and from 8 D. m. to a. m. The early morning rising or homeward tramp for the night cops has never been popular. tP

ffcavaIcade" at Strand
 Still Draws Crowds

"Cavalcade". 1933's outstanding film spectacle, is at Warner Bros Strand where it played to capacity
 houses all day yesterday and con tinues to head the program until Wednesday,.
 Noel Coward chose a daring theme and the daring of the pro- ducer was even greater in pre- senting 1t. That such daring was amply justified, however, was prov
 en by the enthusiasm of those who saw it. The picture "Caval- cade" is one of the greatest ever to come to the screen.
 The cast. headed by Diana Wyn- yard and Give Brook. is magnifi- cent. Miss Wynyard especitlly con- tributing- an excellent performance in her role as Jane Marryot. Herbert Mundin. Una O'Connor, | Ursula Jeans, Frank Lawton, | Tottenham, John Warburton, Mar garet Lindsay are perfectly cast
 in colorfud roles.
 Frank Lloyd's direction is mag
 nificent and the photography by | Ernest Palmer leaves nothing to l be desired.
 We nominate "Cavalcade" as the
 best of the "best picture of the
 year." for many years past and
 many to come.
 The companion feature is Lucky | Devils", being shown for the first time in Waterbury. Lucky Devils offers a new theme in motion pie lures. Film stunting Is revealed in all it's danger, intricacies tnd heart I throbs. During their careers. the stunt men appearing in Lucky Devils doubled for these former
 stars, bounding over their burning structures; fighting on their narrow
 walls: crashing their automobiles;
 leaping from trains onto their speeding cars: parachuting treach- erous distances from their planes. The stunt flyers. who include Bob
 Rose, Duke Green, Dick Dickinson,
 Harvey Perry and Buddy Mason,
 weave death-refying, break-neck
 stunts in an action romance. Bill Boyd is featured, supported by
 William Gargan, William Bake well, Dorothy Wilson, Phyllis Fra
 ser, Rosco Ates and Creighton
 Chaney. Wednesday brings Bondage
 with Dorothy Jordan and Alexand-
 CT Kirkland. GA picture not recom- mended for childrenD and Murders in the Zoo" starring Lionel Atwill
 and big cast. Friday and Satur- day the Strand will offer John Gilbert in "Fast Workers" and George O'Brien in Robbers
 Roost". May 24th brings the first of new weekly novelty offering that promises to become the talk of the town Watch the newspa-
 pers for further annuoncement concerning 1t.

delicately is this motif spun and to such climatic height does it rise that for moment one feels that life itself has been translated lit- orally on the screen. Its types are so true and finely drawn that once the cinema gives us documentary work rather than an idyllic DOT trait. The story is as simple or as complex as life. The girl submits to the knowing cosmopolite. Her degradation is matter of time and finally she wonders off into the fog of despondency. She is redeem ed by young doctor who watches her life from the sidelines. Miss Jordan deserves encomiums of praise for her portrayal. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PIG TURF FOR CHILDREN.
 Warren William, who has previ- ously been cast in serious and heroic roles, proves his versatility by enacting a dynamic character ization in the First National pie ture, Mind Reader" which is the companion feature. As Chandra the Great Magician, he plays the part of a clustering, although all together likeable rascal. A dyed in-the-wool fraud who starts his career as a patent medicine man, Chandra winds up as home wrecker by telling wives their hus- bands secret love affairs and vice versa. He not only hoodwinks the public, but the sweet girl he mar ries. But Chandra has his redeem ing qualities as will be seen in the picture which is filled with comedy situations and snappy dialogue as well as drama and romance. Others in the cast are Constance Cum mings, Natalie Moorhead, Donald Diilaway and Mayo Melthot. An excellent bill of surrounding short subjects completes an ideal pro- gram.

Bondage" Is New
 Garden Feature Picture


 Bondage" the new Fox film at the New Garden theater tears down a curtain that has long con- cealed hidden part of our lives. Simply and effectively it unravcls a girls life and in the doing mar rates one of the most strikingly dramatic portraits of the motion picture season. In this production depicting the hardships experience ed in a community by a group of unmarried mothers, Dorothy Jor- dan, in the role of the unwed Judy Peters comes of dramatic age and gives a portrayal that for sincerity ranks with the finest on the silver screen. The tumultuous eXperi- ences of girl against whom so- ciety has pitted itself with an un- relenting conscience are those of hundreds of similar cases that up until now have been prominent be- cause of their absence from our daily news and discussions.

As a preparatory move toward Investigating Waterbury's increased number of refreshment parlors, particularly those specializing in the sale of 3.2 beer, an increase in the police emergency squad has been made. Patrolman Edward Roach has been selected as a third assistant to Patrolman Daniel J. Carson, head of Waterbury's vice crusaders. Mir Roach's successor az driver of the police patrol on the night shift has yet to be selected.
 As intimated last week in the Democrat the number of unofficial beer parlors is expected to boom in numbers. Many of the owners will forget to post $1,000 as a sure- ty bond or to apply for permit. In other words. wild cat" places are expected to become more num- erous. It will be up to the local and state police, to enforce the law. It will be expected that the state beer inspectors will be asked to do any police work in attempt ting to close up places that are not licensed.
 Patrolman Roach has been a member of the police force since Aprll lo, lJSl. UT lale ue IidS HUI been in the best physical condition owing to illness and at his own re- quest he has been relieved of his duties as driver. Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean named him to- day as the new member of the emergency squad.
 Another interesting ''social item" in police circles to-day was the return to duty after more than a years absence of Sergeant Thomas Cronan. He was assigned again to his former beat, the railroad station. Patrolman Timothy Cal lahan has been given street de- tail. Sergeant Cronan who has been very seriously i'll was given a big hand from his fellow officers and many friends on his return to duty this morning. Sergeant Cronan has been a member of the police department since December 29th. 1897.
 Desk officers at police headquar- ters, as we'll as telephone operators have been assigned to new hours. The schedul corresponds with that made effective few days ago for members or the motor patrol

Radio Notes

Iney actually cooked a meal during a broadcast over NEG net works last week. To give realism and the flavor of the out-of-doors to a western scene, during the Death Valley Days program, Ed win Whitney, director of the pro- gram, produced an electric stove and three slices of bacon. It was hardly meal for the hungry mem- bers of the cast. but the sizzling bacon produced such realistic odors that the studio visitors and the actors cast envious glances at the smoking skillet.
 Georgia Backus, one of NBC's best known actresses, dramatists and writers, made her first money clerking in a five and ten" Miss Backus. author of many radio pro- ductions, writes plays in her spare time and hopes some day to write Americas best play.
 Al Bernard, the NEG minstrel, is proud of song written by a con- vict, which he now uses over the air. The song was contributed by the prisoner after he had heard Al sing one of his own favorites from New York.
 Radio artists all admit extraga- gances. Here's how some NEG artists spend their money:
 Frank Parker admits his Rolls Royce and his polo ponies are ''my greatest extravagances" [. Lowell Patton spends money on a 0nnI rNIo fo Hoo kins puts his money into his home Al -Dary. one of Paul White mans Rhythm Boys, is gaga over chids for May Singhi Breen, his Marguerite De Vine-perfume and bound volumes of music :.

 The Three-X Sisters, NEG har- mony team; are all prepared for strenuous rehearsals during the summer months at their Laureltan l.. I. home. They have just pur chased small piano which they can cart out to their back yard. The girls usually rehearse from noon to about eight o'clock each evening. ..-- Jack Denny, whose orchestra is heard over NEG networks from the Waldorf-Astoria, announced one night last week that Jeannie Lang. his giggly singer. would ap- pear as guest artist at the Metro politan theater in Boston on Sum- day, April Is. The next day Jeannie received six invitations from Boston families to be their weekend guest while in Boston Jeannie has never been to Boston, she confided.
 John Pierce, the Radio City Music Hall tenor. frequently heard over NEG networks. with Henry NJ. Nicely. the old Stager. became a singerd by accident. He Is really a violinist and was induced to sing for radio by friends who declared his voice would make a hit owe the air waves.

George ArIiss Is
 State Offering

George Arliss, beloved by theater- goers the world over, has found a perfect role in his latest picture, ''The Working Man." at Warmers State today and tomorrow. He is capably supported by Bette Davis Hardie Albright, J. Farrell Me- Donald, Gordon Westcott and The odore Newton.
 It is a highly spiced comedy drama of American business and youthful folly in which the star appears as a short-tempered. soft hearted champion of "big busi- ness" who steals time from his own affairs to straighten out the lives of the orphaned children of his former strongest. competitor. Slightly reminiscent of ''The Millionaire" but boasting more dramatic story and even finer pro- duction values and cast, "The Working Man" is said to furnish Arliss with his most human role in a story that is timely and contains wide mass appeal.

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood. d.-Movielands inven- tors are the unknown property men.
 Almost daily they are called up- on to construct strange gadgets for | use in pictures. Sometimes they are replicas of things actually in | existence. Again they might be purely imaginative creations. Re- | gardless, the prop men must de- liver.
 Nor can we just throw things together and hope they will get 1 by" explains Bob Arthur, foreman of the Paramount prop department. | Everything we build must look | plausible, even though no such in- strument actually exists. In almost every audience there is apt to be : one or more persons with some knowledge of what we are trying to accomplish. And if our product does not look right to them, they kick about the picture"
 Ingenuity Needed.
 The Marx Brothers pictures al- ways call for good deal of in- genuity on the part of the property man. The mad Marxes base much of the action in their films on strange contrivances.
 There was a perfect example of that in ''Horsefeathers." At one time Graucho remarked, You can't burn a candle at both ends"- whereupon Harpo produced from beneath his coat a candle which was burning at both ends. The prop department had to figure out how Harpo could carry the lighted candle without burning either him. self or his clothes. It was accom- plished by fastening an improvised tin cylinder inside of his coat. The candle was carried in that.
 
 Built Autogiro
 International House." recently completed, called for an autogiro large enough to carry small au- tomobile. Naturally, it had to be an oversized plane. But it had to be scaled correctly and be perfect in every detail as both interior and exterior shots were to be made of it. The plane wouldn't fly, but it had to look as if it could. One of the toughest jobs ever handed a prop department came during the making of "Dr JekylI and MT Hyde" This was the mix ing of the potion which Fredric March drank in order to change himself from one person to an- other. For photographic effects, it was necessary to figure out two solutions which would act spectac- ularly when mixed and yet be harmless so that March could drink them.
 
 Needed Submarine.
 All of the work done by the prop men isn't imaginative, however. some of it simply calls for detailed perfection or making a copy of something which already exists For example, in Hell Below" a story laid largely on a submarine the complete interior of an under actual ubmarine-containi g it had to be an exact replica of ar sea craft had to be built. AnG control room, torpedo section. en. zine room, battery room, radio room, crews quarters and officers staterooms. ~
 Furthermore, this submarine I1at to be built in sections which could be moved apart when necessary fol filming purposes. The outside o1 the ship didn't resemble anything in particular at all of the exterior sequences were filmed on actua submarines loaned to the studio by the navy.
