for the first time on the screen Janet Gaynor is seen as a versa tile and able comedienne. Her characterization ranges from the wistful romance, which she DOT trays so well, to hilarious comedy, at which she proves herself a mas ter.
 The theme of Servants En- trance" deals wsee- She romance which develops between Ayres, as the family chauffeur, and Miss Gaynor as the rich girl who is con- tinually in hot water as an mex perienced kitchen maid. The two give a fine performance, and after viewing the picture it is easy to see why the team was so success full in ''State Fair".
 The principale receive splendid support from Q cast headed by Ned Sparks, Walter Connolly. Louise Dresser, G. F. Huntley, Jr, Astrid Allwyn and Siegfried Rumann.
 The companion feature will be "Side Streets" with Aiine McMa- hon, Paul Kelly and Ann Dvorak. Sunday brings little Shirley Temple with Gary Cooper and Caroie Lon- bard in "Now and Forever" and "0iri in Danger" with Ralph Bei- lamy and Shirley (Nausatuck) Grey.

3. Implication that Brandeis, in | that constant contact" which nev- CT existed, had improperly intruded himself in the executive branch of government and given counsel as | to administrative acts whose le-
 gality was to come before him.
 Dislikes MIRA Idea
 Any belief that the Brandeis philosophy influenced Johnson's administration can be held by peo- pie who don't read. Johnson con- tacted Brandeis three or four times but in each instance it was John son who went to Brandeis, seeking advice, and on each occasion the
 Brandeis comment could best be
 summed up in one word: Ter rible!"
 Brandeis didn't like the MIRA at all and anyone who knew him could tell that the subsequent sur render Of the codes to the desires of industry gave him a serious pain, not in the judicial neck, but in the neck of Brandeis as a citi- zen and liberal. Common assumption now is that the decentralization of power in MIRA and the tendency away from
 monopoly, price-fixing and other
 violations of the spirit of the anti trust laws are much more pleasing to Brandeis than developments in
 the earlier stages.
 Fears Are Groundless
 Propaganda aimed at the dis qualification of Brandeis is likely | to subside, despite the fears of certain important New Dealers. No supreme court justice has ever dis qualified himself from case be- cause somebody complained of al- legged impropriety following his ap- pointment to the court.
 Some have disqualified them
 selves from given cases because
 previous associations in law prac-
 tice might be considered to have
 prejudiced them.
 Brandeis did so, for instance, in the minimum wage law test-and
 as he did in the Sacco-Vanzetti appeal, on the ground that mem Der of his family had been inter- ested in the defense of those two Italian anarchists.
 A supreme court Justice is not considered in position to defend himself from personal attack, but the other eight would be good and
 sour if one were to take public
 notice of a charge of impropriety. It isn't unlikely that Brandeis will call attention of his colleagues

M The Local Theate,s
POLI'S

Starting today at Polls there will be the premier double feature bill of the season, two superb featuhes, each one with stars of the greatest magnitude in stories by capable authors and with supporting casts that have merit entertainment of the highest order is assured.
 The first feature is Constant Bennett in "Outcast Lady" and she has as her leading man Herbert Marshall, the talented English star, who shone so brightly in "Riptide'', also there will be Elizabeth Allan and Mrs Patrick Campbell in sup port of this lovely blonde star.
 "Outcast Lady, is from the story by Michael Arlen "The Green Hat" which had a successful run on the New York stage and then toured the country and met with excep- tional successe and crowded houses, 1t tells in straight-forward man. ner the tale of woman who mas queraded at love.
 The second feature featuring James Dunn and Alice Faye, is 1865 Nights in Hollywood", Jimmy is more lovable than ever as the director who has been at the top and then falls down and beautuous Alice sings more songs and that is treat; this story is taken from actual experiences written by Jim my Starr the Hollywood keyhole columnist and in his breezy column Starr Dust" he is as well known through the western country as Winchell is in the east. e 4.
 Altogether here is plenty of en- tertainment.. This will be the only new show in town-and whatNa show!
 Starting Saturday Polfs will pre- sent the outstanding film of the year-"The Count of Monte Cristo" with a local boy, who while he is famed British motion picture star, has made his first American picture now. He is Robert Donat from Naugatuck, in his support is Elissa Landi.
 Make Polls your by-word when you think of entertainment, and you will always be assured of the best that Is to be had and at rates that are surprisingly low for the caliber of the shows given.

STATE

Grace Moore in the musical hit "One Night of Love" continues to draw capacity houses to Warner Brothers State theater where it is playing hold-over engagement until Friday night. In the cast of this greatest of all musicals is Tullio Carmanatti, Lyle Talbot, Mona BaVie, Henry Armetta, Luis Alberini and other favorites.
 Saturday brings a gala double feature program headed by Joe E.. Brown in "6 Day Bike, Rider.
 The story, by Earl Baldwin, is crammed with hilarious situations, side-splitting gags, romance and heart throbs, and in addition car- ries enough thrills to make melo. drama.
 Joe, as the village wise cracker and local Don Juan, becomes jeal- ous of a professional trick bicycle rider, and tells the neighbors that he will show them by going to the big city and winning the great six day race.
 He takes his pal along with him and the two get jobs as messenger boys in order to eat until they get the big prize for the winning team. Joe sees his rival, imagines his girl has eloped with him, starts a battle and is thrown into jail on the very day the race is scheduled to start.
 His experiences behind the bars, before he is bailed out, are plenty amusing, but are nothing com pared to the ridiculous situations in the race after he gets into it.. This is not only riotously funny, but carries some of the biggest thrills ever shown. on the screen. /, Twenty-four professional riders take part in the contest which was held on a real racing track and there are enough spills to send the chills up anyone's spine. In one scene alone sixteen riders pile up in grand tangle after two of the machines collide.
 There is a talented cast of com edy players in the important roles.
 Frank McHugh, who plays the part of Joe's pal, and rides as his team mate, Is a far better come. dian than he is a rider.
 The companion feature will pre- sent Barbara Stanwyck in "A Lost Lady" with Frank Morgan, Ricar- do Cortez and Lyle Talbot.

social and economic questions with at least a selected few. The. justices insist on their right and duty---to inform themselves as to vital issues from every; pos sible source. They reserve the right to comment freely among their friends.
 Disciples Are Legion.
 Brandeis, often. regarded as the greatest American liberal, has a host of disciples and admirers in New Deal ranks. Several of his former secretaries hold key posts in the administration legal bat talions, whcih are crowded with graduates of Harvard Law School, who include many former pupils of Prof. Felix Frankfurter close friend and chief apostle of Bran deis, as evil as an important White House advisor.
 Brandeis, along with the other eight justices, is intensely inter- ested in the New Deal. This ad- ministration comes far nearer than any previous ones to adher- ence to his dominant devotion to the rights of the man yas op- posed to the privileges of the few"
 Sometimes he can't stomach some of the things emergency agencies do. He opposes monopo- lies, believes in preservation of small units, and feels no human mind is fitted to direct vast con- centrations of wealth or power. From the beginning, he was strongly opposed to the MIRA.
 .
 Views Eagerly Sought.
 Brain trusters'' and others sit at his feet in free discussion. Often they disagree with him. But no mans words are more eagerly sought.
 All of which doesn't mean that Brandeis, who must soon pass on New Deal cases before the supreme court, discusses legal phases or constitutionality with anybody.
 Anyone who brought up such question would be promptly sque1ched. And those who visit him know better.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-17

The Brandeis social-economic philosophy is the same he had when he ascended. to the supreme bench nearly 20 years ago. You'll find it in his ''Other Peoples Money and "Business-A Profes. sion." Today he expounds it pri- vately as he once talked it public ly.
 But he is extremely meticulous about anything which might tend to compromise his judicial posi- tion. Perhaps more so than any other justice.
 MT and Mrs Brandeis never permit anyone to entertain them. Their guests, including those at locally famous Sunday afternoon "Brandeis teas" where current af- fairs are discussed openly, are ad- mitted only on the justice's own terms of propriety.
 Johnson Stirs Storm.
 Nevertheless, many friends of Brandeis are irritated. or embar- rassed by General Johnson's public assertion that during the whole intense experience, have been in constant touch with that old coun- selor, Judge Louis Brandeis."
 That even goes for Uncle Frank Roosevelt. who quickly decided Johnson hadn't better go around making any more such speeches as a presumptive spokesman for the administration. Johnson him. self regretted the break" as soon as he realized what he had done.
 
 Agitation among New Dealers is based on three factors of the incl dent:
 1. Johnson gave the Tories" what they consider ammunition to use against Brandeis in concerted effort to embarrass him to the point where he might disqualify himself to sit on New Deal cases.
 2. Absurdity of the idea that Brandeis in any way sponsored the MIRA policies of Johnson. The poll icies which big business forced on the general are anathema to Bran deis followers.

When she acquiesced so sweey, Then lost my heart completely And wondered if I'd ever dare to say.
 FIRST CHORUS: When the little birds are warbling Molly dear, And the magic of the springtimes drawing near; Will you give me one sweet KISS That would be such happiness. When the little birds are warbling Molly dear
 SECOND CHORUS: Many years have passed since then my Molly dear And we're getting toward the autumn brown
