sun OIL TESTS
ITS DURABILITY
IN 5000 MILES

Philadelphia, Pa. December IL,
193l-ln an interview here today.
Louis Chevrolet, prominent automo-
tive engineer and co-designer and
builder of the first Chevrolet car,
told of his interesting experiences in
his five thousand mile test run, which
was just completed.
This rum" Mr.. Chevrolet said,
twas made primarily to show TO scep-
teal motorists the safety and durabil-
ity of light weight motor oils and par
ticularly Sunoco DOW motor oil.
Through the cooperation of the en-
gineers of the Sun Oil Company was
able to make this test and believe that
it will, once and for all silence all
doubts regarding the security of this
oil. Garage men and dealers frequent
ly Judge an oil mostly on account of
its thickness. regardless of quality.
This test has proven to me that an
oil does not have to be thick to be good
for Nhrieation and possess lasting
qualities. This test also proved that
the Recommendation of car manufae-
turers to use 20-W oil for winter is
the best contribution that has been
made to winter fabrication because,
undoubtedly, this oil will help motors
start much quicker and still will give
100 per cent fabrication, as we'll as
long lasting qualities.
"My run was made between No
vember 9th and November 18th during
which covered exactly five thousand
nine and six tenths miles without add
ing one drop of motor oil to the five
quarts of Sunoco 20-W which were
put in the crankcase at the start of
the run. The average speed was AZ
miles per hour which means that l
was running so and better whenever
I could.
"Mr. H. H. Allen accompanied me as
official from the Contest Board of
the American Automobile Association.
He did everything he could to be sure
that the test was made in exact ac-
cordance with all regulations even
down to the point of buying cow
Sunoco Motor Oil from three differ
ent dealers and mixing together these
purchases to be sure that no specially
prepared oil was used. We travelled
in Master 6, 1884 Chevrolet, a stock
car in every detail except, to avoid
oil leaking out of the engine, the mo-
tor was equipped with specially fitted
piston rings and new breather pipe,
Furthermore, the oil-pan flange was
reinforced and new gaskets were fit
ted with particular care.
"The oil remaining at the end of
the run was in excellent condition and
there was enough left to give safe |
fabrication for several hundred miles |
more. The motor was found to be in
excellent shape, bearings. pistons, and
rings showed less than normal wear,
without trace of hard carbon. This
test was made on Mercury Made Sum
oeo COW, but Il by no means follows
that any COW oil will give the same
performance"

"Easy to Love-" which heads the double feature program at Warmers State today and tomor- row, is a revelation in matrimon- ial mixups served in a hilarious vein.
 There is quadrangular love tangle in which a husband and wife, whom their daughter and her sweetheart believes to " an Realistically happy married couple, are mixed up with affini- ties in the persons of each others best friend. .
 The strange and complicated situations that arise when the wife learns that her husband is maintaining a love nest and he suspects her of having an affair lead to some of the most laugh able scenes imaginable.
 The picture is portrayed by an exceptionally strong all star cast headed by Genevieve Tobin in the role of neglected wife with Menjou playing opposite her as the philandering husband. Mary Astor and Edward Everett Horton have the roles of the other woman role of neglected wife with Adal- and the other man, and Patricia Ellis and Paul Kaye are the younger players.
 Others in the cast include Guy Kibbee, Hugh Herbert. Hobart Cavanaugh, Robert Greig and Harold Waldridge.
 The companion feature is "SQn of Kong. sequel to King Kong". It is said to be even more thrilling than the first picture narrating the further adventure or Carl Denham, played again by Robert Armstrong, who returns to perilous Skull Island in search of hidden gold. A big cast of fav- orites is to be found in this new production.
 Saturday morning at 10 o'clock the management will present a special, show for children present. ing. as the feature attraction. an advance showing of Paramount,s s new hit Alice in Wonderland" Admission will be 10 cents.

 RENTS NEW OFFICE
Will Have Quarters on Top Floor of New York
 Sky=SCraper

A tower on one ofJ New York's sky-scrapers may become known shortly as the "Chase Tower, an advertising medium for the Chase Companies of Waterbury.
 It was learned today that the Chase Brass and Copper company, has leased the four upper floors in the tower of the 48-story struc- ture at 10 East 40th street, New York city. The new office space is more than double the present quarters at 200 Fifth avenue and 1 F. 42nd St. and will be occupied about May 1st after alterations have been completed. The altera- tions plans were drawn by Yasuo Matsui, architect, and call for a private elevator to serve the four floors, additional stairways and a $500 gallon fire tank.
 The long-term lease gives the Chase Brass and Copper company the right to change the name of the building to the Chase Tower. The quarters will be used for ex- ecutive and legal offices as well as show rooms. Several Waterburians are members of the large New York staff.
 The Grand street office of the Chase company is the main head quarters of the Chase companies, a Kennecott subsidiary.

PALACE

The screen presentation, Eddie Cantor in Roman Scandals, which has drawn large audiences since it's opening at Polls will be shown for the last times tonight and tomor- row.
 Starting Saturday another great hit will open at Polls the House of Hits, this one is entitled Ely ing Down to Rio", which is actu- ally staged in the clouds, the gasping climax of all screen music shows staged on the wings of gi- ant planes!
 Flying Down the Rio features brilliant cast. starring Fred Astaire, Dolores Del Rio, Raul Rouiien, Ginger Rogers and Gene Ray mond.
 Devotees of the modern dance are now enthralled with the Cari- oca, new "tete-a-tete" tango 6em- onstrated in America for the first time in the sumptuous musical extravaganza.
 The dance, while performed spectacularly in the film, is in re- ality well within the talents of the usual ballroom dancer. The Carioca has the added feature of being adaptable to crowded floors. And it is called "tete-a-tete" tango" because the foreheads of the dancers are supposed to touch throughout the progress of the movements. The Carioca is ex- pected to become the rage with the dancing public.
 The film is elaborately staged against the tropical and architec- tural beauty of Rio de Janeiro. Native instruments and orchestras are heard. Chorus routines, feat featuring 150 dark beauties said to have been selected from 10000 California girls. enact many dar- ing terpsichorean novelties. ,~One of these is the presentation of the tanga by 16 couples, dancing in un- ison and perfect formation.
 Of the sets, one in particular, merits special mention. Repre- senting a night club of the future 1t is built to resemble the interior of dirigible.
 This attraction will be shown at the usual popular prices.

Clara Bow is here again. She comes to this theater today in her new starring production for FOX film, "Hoopla," and is scheduled for an engagement of two days. It is a spectacular picture, filled with turbulent action, milling crowds, riotous color and stirring drama. It has inspired Clara Bow to new emotional heights-more impas- stoned and fiery than ever. Against the kaleidoscopic background of an active carnival Clara Bow gives the best performance of her ca- reer. She is a carnival dancer em- meshed in a love that is simple, vet strange to this magnet of men. Preston Foster, one of the strong est sonalities of the screen, has the leading. masculine role op- posite Miss How, and Richard Cromwell is seen as the youth who opens new vlstas of love for her. others in the splendid coast are Herbert Mundin, James Gleason, Mlnna Gombell, Roger Imhof and Florence Roberts.
