The depression seems to have eff

superior court in Waterbury. Time
was when the opening of the Grim
tnal side in Waterbury meant lots
of business. At the present session
there were about a dozen cases,
mostly boys of the ages of eighteen
and nineteen. charged with break
ing and entering. In the old days,
almost every lawyer of any impor-
lance was present on the opening
day. But not so now. And so 1t
goes.

AMERICA TO HEAR

Plans Being Made to Broad
cast Ballet Sensation
of Moscow.

" LABORATE preparations are
l. being made by the National
Broadcasting Co. for an early
IL presentation by Frank Blacks
Orchestra of THE Red Poppy"
the current ballet sensation in Mos
COW.
The complete orchestral score OF the
ballet in handicapped manuscript has
been turned over to Black by Reinhold
Moritzovitch Gliere, the composer.
The Red Poppy" is a ballet in two
acts, the scene laid in China. 1t has
been performed several hundred times
in Russia. The score, however, has
not been published and the work is
little known outside that country.
Last Summer Black sent a special
emissary to Moscow to arrange for
sending the score to this country.
Gliere readily agreed, but some time
was spent in clearing the matter with
Soviet authorities, due to the restric-
ton on the export of music from that
country.
Although distinctly modern in con-
ception, the music of The Red Pop
py" is said to be delightfully."- melodic
and catchy" which accounts for its
popularity in Russia.

Barry looked the eventual winner
two weeks ago when he whipped the
veteran but dangerous Les Kennedy.
The pink-thatched Southeasterner
impressed more than did Brown, who
previously had defeated Marty GAL
lagher. But when Brown showed
signs of reluctance to fight Bob Tow
as scheduled, Barry jumped at the
chance, even though it meant two
major scraps on successive Tuesdays
and another week of rest for Brown
before the final.
1t might have been responsible for
the defeat, although Barry's support
ers haven't admitted it as such. But
astute ring observers aren't so sure
those two fights within eight days
