Reaching further into the hearts of local audiences than they have in the past, the Manhattan Play- CTS scored one of their most suc- cessful hits last evening when they presented "Only 38" at the Water bury Women's club. The play will be repeated this evening and to- morrow evening.
 The human interest of the drama made a marked impression on the large audi ,nce in attendance with the outstanding dramatic perform ance of the evening being given by J. Harrison Taylor who played the part of the widows father in a superb manner. His portrayal of an old man of 70 who sets out to en- joy a few of the things which he has missed in life adds a touch of cheer to the play which blends per- fectly with the solemnity of the home of the minister widow. Peg gy Coudrey again pleased local playgores in her sincere and clever acting in the role of the widowed mother of two children who yearns

Why You Should Never Cut a Corn


 If you are troubled with cOrns or cnlOuses, dO not run the risk of blood poison by pairing them. Sta- tistics show that many infections have occurred from this seemingly innocent practice of pnring corns.
 Simply gO to your druggist and get . few cents worth Of Ice-Mint. rub q little on any painful corn or cnllous. Immediately the pniD will disappear and in . short time the corn or ca1l0us will loosen and left 0ff easily with the hngers--fOot and nlf-Ienving the snrroundinE skin in a henIthy normal condition.
 This, together with the fact thssf Ice.Mint overcOmes such affections as sore. tired. aching. puffed or burning feet and makes them cool. easy nnd comfortable. is probably responsible for. the hearty endorse. ment given It by drugglsts.
 To rid One's feet of every hard corn, soft corn between the toes or. pninfu1 eaIIouaes in such plens- mt and Aafe way. makes 1t $Neem the helght of f0I1y fer anyone tO pare corn and people are wnrned sO stop it. ssl

AT THE MOVIES
big Shakedown'
Fast-Moving Drama

Seldom have so many thrills been
packed into q single picture as In the
First National production, THE Big
6hakedown," now showing at the
Capitol Theatre. It Is q colorful un-
derworld story Of new type Of racket
In which strong arm tactics play their
part.
Romance Is added to the thrills II
Che love Of q young pharmacist and
his clerk, who innocently get into the
tolls OF the gangsters and narrowly
escape with their lives.
THE Big Shakedown" has as it
theme the racketeering which takes
place among drug sundries, tooth
paste and cosmetics.
As q story it is powerful in theme
and equally effective In production
values. Warner Bros. have spared
nothing to make 1t realistic and au-
thentic as well as colorful, even NOV
ing an entire toothpaste factory on
TO their lot to reveal the processes
through which the gangsters finally
take over the field.
Charles Farrell has been put in the
role Of the young druggist who is
made an innocent victim Of the gang
and plays his role intelligently and
effectively.
Bette Davis, his sweetheart, and
later his wife, hasn't had . better
role since Twenty thousand Years
In Sing Sing" The reason for her
rising popularity IS further revealed
With every new picture. Her work
Is always crisp, thoughtful and at
tractively dramatic.

Now at Paramount

ITS just like moving from your

years into . new, swell neighbor-

Thus Marie Dressler describes her
advent into the biggest all-star cast
Of screen history, the illustrious group
OF artists appearing In Dinner at
Eight" now showing at the Paramount
Theatre.
when you move into new neigh
borhood you can carry on your own
family life as usual, but you're always
watching eagerly the doings Of the
aristocratic neighbors," she amplified
her smile. And In such q picture
you do your own characterization,
and play your situations with the play
ers opposite you. but you're always
getting thrill out Of what others in
the cast-whom you probably never
worked with before-are up to.
Their First Meeting
For instance, In Dinner at Eight
I met and worked with Jean Harlow
for the first time, though I'd watched
her career on the screen with interest.
I'd often laughed at Lee Tracy's an
tics. To meet him on the set. to know
him, gave me new insight into his
work.
"You learn . great deal about your
own business by working with people
as high up In that business as John
and Lionel Barrymore, or Wally Beery
hot that he was any stranger

Morley, Phillips Holmes. Jean Her
