WICKED MAGICIAN PRESENTS MYSTERY
MariOnettes to Be Fea= tured By Women's Club
 in Special Offering

Tony Sarg's latest creation in the marionette world is coming here under the auspices of the Water- bury Women's Club, Saturday af- ternoon, December Sth, with a combination of comedy drama, marionettes, black art and magic bound together with the alluring title of Faust the Wicked Magi- elan.
 The book of the play bearing this name is oyerfiowing with magic and mystery. In one scene Faust has to gratify the abnormal wishes of his neighbors and pa tients. This fascinates with mystery punctuated with laughs such as always accompany Tony Sarg production. This is at the opening of the play, and after the meeting with Mephisto, Faust is spurred at various times to exhibit his un- canny talents, realizing effects that are unexplajnable and mystifying. So on until the Devil himself takes a hand and introduces Faust to the old witches and Lelah the Enchan- tress, with a wierd and enchanting dance amid eerie surroundings. Finally as Q climax to all comes the finish of Faust and his wickedness on the heights of the Brocken, wild and thrilling scene around a flaming crater. with, socks and ghosts sufficient for many Hal lowe'en dream.
 Tony Sarg. and Mir Stas Azoy, who both colla borated on the new marionette production, have taken great pains to eliminate any of the phases of the existing versions which might be unsuitable for chill dren and the result is a highly en- tertaining and yet educationa, play.
 The idea of the marionette is said to have originated centuries ago with an enterprising doll mer- chant in Japan. who. desiring to do something novel to call his wares to the attention of potential cus- toners. contrived to have his dolls act parts in 8 playlet in his sore window. The idea proved such success that it led to an entirely new form of theater and special puppets. players and special the aters came into existence. As the art of puppetry grew, the Japanese sought for more interesting mater iaf for their puppets to act, and special literature for the purpose came into vogue. The marionette theater has been popular in Japan since the seventeenth century, when military leaders took 1t up and popularized 1t With the people. To-day, so high a rank has the puppet attained in Japan thst Chi kamatsu, a 17th century writer of puppet plays is accorded honor such as we give to Shakespeare.

No dividends will be paid de- positors of the Merchants Trust Go during the rest of this year 1t was announced by officials of the Citi- zens & Manufacturers National bank, receiver for the closed bank today. Reports that small divi- dend would be paid depositors were current about the city today, due perhaps to the announcement yes- terday that dividends would be paid depositors of the Naugatuck Bank and Trust Co.,, and the Russo & Sons money agency formerly op- erated on Bank street.
 Robert H. Leach, vice-president of the Citizens & Manufacturers National bank in charge of the Merchants Trust Co.,, receivership, quieted the rumor of a dividend when he said payment to deposi- tors of the Merchants Trust Co. was out of the question for the rest of this year. After the first of the year, he added, no one could tell what would happen.
 The last dividend payment was paid depositors of the Merchants Trust Co.,, in the summer when both savings and commercial de- positors received 10 per cent or their funds in the closed bank. Nearly $400,000 is needed to pay a 10 per cent dividend, to deposi- tors of the Merchants Trust Co.,, and the receivers last report shows cash nowhere near that amount.
 The receiver is proceeding with the liquidation of the remaining assets and is receiving interest pay ments on mortgages, notes and oth- CT obligations owed the bank.
 MT Kimball Explains
 Depositors of the Sanditz & Trau- rig and the ZaZemekas & Co. banks cannot expect dividend before the end of the year eother, said Att torney Chase. Kimball, in charge of the receivership of both banks, for the Waterbury National bank, re- ceiver. MT Kimball said while there might be enough cash in the San- ditz & Traurig account to make five per cent payment, there are other items that have to be con- sidered, including transfer to the Union & New Haven Truts Co of certain funds in connection with a large fortgage.

PAINTERS COMPEL
 SUPT. TO VACATE

Flash Superintendent of Police Joseph Fl. Mclean was put out of his office today and sent across the hall to the quarters of the deputy superintendent. The putting out, however, was done only by painters, who took over the police chiefs off1cet o do a bit of decorating.
 The superintendent. when he ar- rived at work today, found that his office wasn't his any more, at least for the time being. So he gathered in his official belongings, beckoned to his secretary, Miss Ida Lunny, and set up camp across the hall until his office has been painted and decorated.

Although 70 per cent of Con- hocticut's 2027 physicians are cen. tered in Hartford. New Haven and Nairfleld counties, the medical practitioners of the state are nev- erthtIess will distributed in rela- tion to the population of the seo- tors where they practice except sn the two counties with the small est urban populations, it is shown xn an article concerning the num- hsr ond distribution of physicians. written by Ruth H. Monroe, chief of the division of medical registra- ton of the state department or health, and published in the de- Dartment's monthly bulletin, dis trfbuted today.
 New Haven county, according to Miss Monroe's tabulation, leads in fho number of physiciants with 658 Gas of June 30, 1934), while Hartford Is second with 534 and Fairfield third with 461. Holland has the fewest physicians, only 20 practicing in that county. and the other counties have the following numbers: New London, 143. Litch- field, S6, Middlesex, v, and Wind ham, 43.
 In relation to the population, the distribution of physicians Tn this state Is on much more ade- Quatei basis than would appear from the above figures. The mum Der of physicians in ratio to each 100, ,000 population for the eight counties is as follows: Fairfield, 1111.O; New Haven, 1865; Hart ford, 116.9: Holland. S5.5; Litch- field, 1O1.O; New London, 114.5; Windham, 79.5; Middlesex, 145.S. The average for the state as a whole Is 119.2 physicians per 1OO,- poo population.
 Tn a second table, Miss Monroe shows that 995 physicians of 4S.5 perecent of the total number in Connecticut are located in the four cities. having more than 100000 population. Cities with popula- fionssranging from 5000 to 99.999 have SAT physicians or 41.6 per cent .of the total. This accounts for all but 1s5 of the medical men who are divided among the re- maining 123 towns. Forty-five

towns have no physicians. This suggests that the smaller towns and rural districts are not in a position to receive as complete medical service as the cities, but in many cases these smaller towns are in close proximity to the cities and thus have excellent opportunity for proper medical service. The lack of easily accessible hospital facilities together with the scattered popu- lation are factors in the lack of physicians in the rural districts.
 During the states last fiscal year, III new "M.D.'s" were licensed to practice in Connectucut. Seven of these were under the age of 25, while the largest group, 62, were between the ages of 25 and 29. There were 27 new physicians in the 30 to 34 age range.
 Nearly 30 per cent of Connecti- cuts medical practitioners are in the age group of 30 to 39 years of age. 22.1 per cent are between 40 and 49; and 19.S between 50 and 59 years of age. The largest num- Der of physicians in the 30-40 age group are practicing in the four largest cities, a fact explained in part by the location in those cities of the larger hospitals with licen- sed interns and resident physi- cianS.

TRAP-CUN AWAITS
 OWNER AT STATION

Waterbury's police have always been noted for their care in return ing articles used as evidence to their original owners, but when the article in question is a death-deal- ing trap-gun which wounded An gelo DeLeo, 19, of 178 Lakewood road on Sunday, then that is a very different story. For the trap-gun is not Angelo's; in fact he wishes he had never seen it.
 The real owner of the mechan- ism left it in Middlebury,' where it was found in the woods by Angelo, who took it home after which it

exploded and sent a bullet through his leg. Now the owner undoubt- edly wants the trap-gun back, but the police would like to talk to the owner, for they believe the instru- ment is illegal.
 So there you have it, but Capt William P. Keegan has the trap gun at his office. The owner can have it, but he'll undoubtedly be embarrassed by police questioning, while police, on the other hand. would like very much to talk to the owner

HERE TODAY

Intent on beating Matte Brown
at his own game, mitigating, Art
Huttick is coming to town today
in the care of his manager, Jimmy

Huttick has made it clear that,
having studied Browns methods
in the ring, he has come to the
conclusion that he must outbelt
Matte Non the inside when they
clash Wednesday night in the
feature at the American Legion
Arena.
Brown long has been noted for
this style of fighting. He used it
with high success against Bob Tow
and Walter Neusel, not to mention,
of course, Johnny Risko. Huttick
owns a right hand packed with
dynamite when he shoots it to
the midrif.
Meeting Bronson's protest
against his handling the main
event of the night, Make Baer
sent word last night that he will
act as master of ceremonies and
referee the Semi-Windup.

GRID.
TILT PLANNED

Chicago is planning a football
game between the Chicago Bears
of the National Professional
Football League and an all-Star
team of college men selected by
popular vote in a Nationwide
poll.
The leaders in the poll are
Sauer, the Nebraska fullback,
and Krause of Notre Dame, a
tackle. Rosenberg is a stand
out in the votes for guard po-
sition with Schammel of Iowa
next. Bernard Of Michigan, one
of great line Of Michigan
centers is another standout. The
poll will close while we are in
Chicago, so more Of that anon.
The game should be one Of
the greatest ever played, even
at the early date of schedule.
This writer is one who has al
ways contended that a good pro-
feSsional football team could al
ways beat a good or for that
matter a great college football
team. It will be interesting to
see how these college boys. a real,
authentic all-America outfit fares
with the Feints and slaShes Of
a team like the Bears.

now Al go 10 I0WH.
AL didn't go to town. He stayed
right where he was. He is hit
ting $50 or thereabouts, but he
has made only is home runs,
and most Of these on other
fields. The short fences which
were to have afforded easy en-
trance for the White Sox to the
first division failed utterly in
their purpose. The White Sox
are last in team batting in the
American League. Likewise, they
are last in the standing Of the
clubs.
Louis J. Comiskey, president
of the current White SoX, makes
spirited defense of the policies of
the club, reviewing his recon
struction of the playing field,
and staggering sums spent for
players in an effort to give
south side fans winner. He
attributes the complete fruStra-
ton of his plans to bad luck.
That is the logical and the
material view to take. Yet
around the south side of Chi
cago there are a superStitious

man in the bitterness of his
soul says to the grey shade OF
Cap Anson, "look what they did
to my ball field"
Cronin's Spirits Rise
Cronin is more optimistic today
than he has been. The fact that
the boys could link good pitching
with strong hitting treasured him
of the fact that they still could
do those things properly. The
White Sox, last in team hitting
and likewise in last place offers
little to cause any fears in the
hearts of the fighting Cronin. If
he can lash his crippleS into
action he will be all right.
We may look for the return Of
Heinie Manush to the lineup in
a day or two. The big plumber
had a good rest and his leg strain
is Just about gone. The quicker
he can get into left field and re-
turn Kress to first base, che faster
the team is going to recover some
thing that resembles a winning
stride.

hard for the week or so. He Is
not a first baseman, but he is
