YELL MIXED

There is a great deal of pathos,

Rialto, but the only thing glamorous
about the film Is Constance Cum

Miss Cummings has real work to do
in this story of chorus girl who rises
to musical comedy stardom through
the aid of composer and then jumps
from one husband to another and
back again in the whirl of her love
for the two men. It Is real work. this
emotional jumping between two af-
fections, and had it not been well
done the result would have been dis.
astrous.
The young lady. however, starts out
with being quite convincing as
dumb but ambitious chlorine. She
bursts out into a glamorous star with
the same sincerity, and then proceeds
to carry her difficult emotional ath-
letics with Just the right twinkle IN
her eyes at the right time to keep
everything from going bla-bla and
rnelodramatic.

the actors get their due, and the
aforementioned Mr. Korda, who
knows what he wants and invariably
gets it.

be said to be the continental Carlo,

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-15

Several Waterbury builders and contractors, who have strenuously objected to the building projects being handled through the EZRA or Mutual Aid in this city were present at the session, among them T. K. Moran, ST, T. F. Moran, Jr, Julius Kipp, Patrick O'Brien and William McGinn of Naugatuck.
 Delegates to the conference unanimously condemned the pro- cedure in effect here in the past whereby building projects such as the municipal golf course, Wash ington Park Community House and similar developments were super vised by EZRA officials.
 It was the opinion of the meet ing that the government policy of allowing EZRA building contracts to be handled through the organ ized EZRA agencies was more harmful to the industry than otherwise. If contractors are to benefit by the program designed primarily to renew life to the trade the contracts should be given to them directly, 1t was said.
 Exchange Promises Support
 Growing sentiment in favor of this method was indicated today in a statement to the Democrat from John w. McGurk, secretary of the Building Trades Council. a local affiliation of members of contract ing trades in the city. At a meet ing last night the council express ed complete sympathy with the aims of the Waterbury Builders Exchange and promised coopera- tion and support.

CURING EXPECTED
 TO STOP SPEEDING
City Moves to Make East Main Street Safe
 ThOrOughfare

Construction of a cement curb ing through the center of the new East Main street pavement running from School to Wolcott streets will be undertaken in the spring so as to cut down speeding of auto- mobiles along the thoroughfare, it is understood. In the meantime, the board of works, through the street department, is negotiating with the police department in an effort to have a painted white line drawn through the center of the street so as to temporarily cut down "cutting out"
 The matter has been enter con- sideration at the hands of the board of works for some time. The commissioners have conferred with Mayor Frank Hayes, chairman of the board, and the latter has ex- pressed himself as being in favor of a cement curbing as a perma- nent way of dividing the street. However, with the cold weather now at hand, it is planned to paint white lines through the middle ! of the street. The construction o1 the curbing will mean the cutting out of ridge through the center of the highway from School to Wolcott streets and the laying in of cement. Present cold weather prevents the construction of the curb.
 The stretch between School and Wolcotr streets, newly covered with asphalt, has become a speed way and the fast driving has brought forth many complaints.

JONES ORCHESTRA

Famous Isham and His Crew to Play Special
 Engagement

Lovers of good dance music as purveyed by one of the greatest bands of dance musicians in the country will have their desires full filled tonight at Hamilton park when the nationally famous Isham Jones and his great orchestra of IS artists featured over the Co., lumbia network for Chevrolet Mo- tors, play a special engagement at the beautiful municipal dance pa- vilion at Hamilton park.
 The coming of the great maestro who rose from coal miner to take his place among the radio elite, has been anticipated for weeks. Very few dance bands are rated in the class with the Jones organization which is in such de- mand for single engagements that the broadcasting company finds it more lucrative to send the Jones crew on one nighters rather than take up hotel spot.
 Included in "Ish's" crack com bination tonight will be a local boy, Frank Sacco, who like brother Tony of the Madriguera crew, has made the grade and is now on "big time" Frank, former mem Der of Floyd Evans Crosby high school orchestra, plays trumpet Tn what is recognized by musicians as the ultimate in brass" sections.
