Performances tonight conclude the engagement at Warmers Strand of "Son Of A Sailor" and "Coun- sellor at Law'.

Miss Fran cis plays the part of one of the most beautiful and most popular Broadway butterfly chorus girls whose beauty and charm get her into trouble.

when the car in which he was riding, driven by Edward Dona- gey, was struck by Charles Amo- deo's car, operated by his son, Joseph, at South Main and South Leonard streets, Oct. 10, 1882.
 The defendants moved to have the verdict set aside against Charles, the owner. Judge Booth upheld the claim and ordered the verdict as against Charles, set aside, and to stand only against Joseph, on the grounds that the agency between father and son was not established.
 He held also that when the de- fendant Charles testified that Jo- seph was driving the car without consent, the presumption that the son was an agent of the father, was automatically wiped out.
 Attorney Sidney s. Cassel and Attorney Yale Matzkin, counsel for the plaintiff, argued that the ver- dict should stand against both de- fendants and when the verdict was set aside against Charles, the ap- peal was taken to the high court. Attorney William B. Fitzgerald and Attorney Thomas F. McGrath. counsel for the defendants, argued against any change in the picture when they appeared before the supreme court.
 Chief Justice Maltbie goes into the question at great length. It is said by lawyers to be the first complete decision on this particu- lar type of automobile collision case, in the history of Connecticut.
 The decision also explains ex- plicitly the position of a family car" in automobile collision cases. Attorney Cassel cited the statute passed in 1881 and supplemented in 1888 to uphold his claim. This statute is cited by Chief Justice Maltbie in his decision. It reads, Proof that the operator of a mo- tor vehicle was the husband, wife, father, mother, son or daughter of the owner, shall raise 8 presump- tion that such motor vehicle was being operated as family car within the scope of 8 general au- thority from the owner, and shall impose upon the defendant the burden of rebutting such presump- tion."

SPECIAL TEACHERS
 GET FIRST CHECKS
Supt. COndOn Pleased With Progress of the Work
 in Waterbury

Waterbury's 26 special teachers who have been given employment through federal grants received their first pay checks yesterday. Wages were paid at the levels pre- vailing in the individual subjects which are taught.
 Superintendent Thomas J. Con- don, who is administrator of the special classes here, reported this morning that attendance at the first weeks full classes reached a total of more than 1,150. Several of the classes are completely filled up, and some have waiting lists of applicants.
 MT Condon stated today that he had received no word of any cut in the appropriations for the spe- cial teachers and pointed out that since it was not CWA project it would hardly be affected. The classes will be continued at least till Feb. 15. Extension beyond that time rests on congress but it is believed that such an extension will be voted. The probability is that the special classes will be con- tinued till May along with the regular CWA enterprises.

 Fair Practice Codes
Yale Prof. Tells Listeners Attempt to Work Out Acts
 CreditabIe Aim to Gust WastefuI Competition

Economic planning and the MIRA were discussed in their various implications by Professor Hudson B. Hastings of Yale at the Central Y. M. c. A. last night. The MIRA has been on the whole a very ef- fective attempt to bring up out of the situation in which" the nation found itself. The restriction of working hours has justified itself as a means of spreading work dur ing the emergency. The minimum wage requirement has tended to eliminate sweat-shop conditions.
 The attempt to work out codes of fair practice is very creditable attempt to eliminate wasteful com petition, but is surrounded with difficulty. For example. there is great danger of monopolistic pro- visions sliI1bing into some of the codes with the confusion of fram- ing nearly 400 such agreements. In addition, cliques have appeared within the different industries, giv- ing a great advantage to larger concerns. Price fixing, quota Set- ting, and the limitation of produc- ton are fraught with great dan ger; dcCOIulu6 lo toAOs'oOA AAoN's- ings.
 The outstanding phase of the MIRA is the new set-up in emjploy- CT and employe relationship. With the approval of collective bargain ing has come remarkable streng- thening of the labor unions. It IS only proper that the employe should have adequate bargaining power with his employer, but Pro- lessor Hastings predicts that the result will be bitter struggle be- tween capital and labor. The trade union philosophy from necessity has always been fight" rather than "cooperate" and the setting up of two strong parties in conflict is al- most inevitably bound to result in conflict.
 Professor Hastings urged the con- sideration of such g. plan as exists in the lumber industry in the Paci- fic northwest Here each lumber mill is a unit of organization. A local grievance board is composed of three employees and three em- ployers.
 If the two groups are unable to agree, cases are referred to @ dis trict board composed of four em- ployes and four employers. In case of deadlock here, the case may be referred to the board of directors of the whole industry made up of 12 employees and 12 employers. The final court is made up of one em- ployer, not in the lumber industry and one empIoye also from some other industry. These two are to chose a federal judge who shall be the third member of the ultimate tribunal.
 This scheme has been operating successfully since 1918. Nineteen out of every twenty cases have been settled by the local boards. Only two cases have been appealed as far as the board of directors group. If this scheme is to be set up on nationwide scale i will be important to have the public on the board in order to prevent undue raising of prices.

Hollywood Nescs And Gossip
W DAN THOMAS


 NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Hollywood-We've heard a lot about how Hollywood's horde o1 autograph seekers bother the ire out of our film stars-who, don't mind adding, would be disappoinI- ed greatly If they weren't so bothered.
 However. there also is anotheh side of the story. And that Is now the stars bother one another with requests for autographs. There probably isn't a more insistent gan gof autograph hunters m the world than our own motion picture crowd.
 They value the signatures of their friends just as greatly as do any of the visiting firemen.
 Gary Cooper, for example mas 2 big guest book at his ranch which every visitor is asked to sign. And Gary even has had fellow players put their footprints and signatures in the cement sidewalk on front Of his dressing room. Bing Crosby has one whole wall in the library of his home, which he asks visitors to autograph. And as each section is filled with names he has it shellaced to preserve It. Jack Oakie collects autographs from all his friends on Q large parchment lampshade. Jackie Cooper has regular leather autograph. book, which he asks the stars to sign but the requests are mad only to full-fedged stars. Colleen Moore has an autograph book which she is getting filled for the daughter of 8 friend. Buster Crabbe has an Olympic Games pro- gram which he had autographed by the winners of all events. This is only a portion of the list, a great many other players collect | ing autographs in one way or an- other. W. c. Fields, for instance, gets his on dress shirt fronts and then doesn't send the shirts to the laundry.
 Takes Wine Bath
 And now Florence Lake comes along with a deep, dark secret. Says Florence, "The best sleep pro- ducer in the world is bedtime bath in steaming hot water into which a pint of good wine has been poured"
 Maybe she's right-but, even 50, who wants to use good wine in that manner?
 One on the House
 When the script for Ut Hap pened One Day. first was complet- led, it contained part for 8 colored maid. Then studio executives de- cided to use Una Merkel for the maid, instead. Edgar Allen Wolfe was assigned to rewrite the play. He did this, but forgot to change 1.-the description of the character. So when the script was sent to Miss Merkel, she found that 1t called for a coIored maid. Dismayed but not beaten, she 'appeared on the set in blackface before she learned that tn maid had been whitewashed.
 Buster Keaton Again
 Buster Keaton is bacw with us again and once more in the same field which first made him famous. IThe frozen-faced comedian just has signed to make a series of six two reel comedies for Educational. And in his first film he probably will have his sister, Louise, for his lead ing lady.

M The Local TheNte7:S
STATE

One of the most outstanding dra. matic screen presentations, with a musical background, of the current season is Beloved" which heads the double feature bill at Warmers State to-day, Thursday and Friday. John Boles and Gloria Stuart play featured roles in this highly unus- ual production, and Boles sings several songs as only he can sing them-simple, moving songs of the heart. Fine support is given by Dorothy Peterson, Edmund Breese, Anderson Lawler, Lucille Gleason. Morgan Farley, Richard Carle, Mae Busch, Ruth Hall and many others.
 From production standpoint, Beloved" is a remarkable demon- stration of the fiexibility of the mo- ton picture. The story covers 8 period of nearly 100 years ,and the feat is accomplished in such com- pletely satisfying manner as to con- stitute a convincing tribute to the screen art.
 Director Victor Schertzinger who also wrote the music for fBeloved" may we'll be proud of his accom- plishment in bringing this epic film drama into the limits of an eve- nng's entertainm ent, and knitting the various incidents so closely to- gether in a smoothly flowing mu- sical cavalcade.
 The companion feature Is "The Big Shakedown" which concerns the activities of a former band of liquor racketeers' who turn to the cut rate drug business when repeal makes the former game unprofit- able. Sam Engels and Niven Busch who wrote the story, "Cut Rate, !" upon which the picture is based, put plenty of thrills in it. There is also a delightful romance in the plot.
 Charles Farrell and Bette Davis are the lovers in the picture, play ing together for the first time. Ricardo Cortez is the leader of the gangsters. His two loves are Glenda Farrell and Renee Whitney, the first of whom he puts on the spot because she knows too much, after he has tilted her for the lat ter.
 There is strong supporting cast of noted players, including Allen Jenkins, Phillip Faversham, Robert Emmet O'Connor, John Wray, George Pat Collins, Adrian Morris, Dewey Robinson, Ben Hendricks and George Cooper.

 Hollywood, Jan 24.-UP)-The whereabouts of Margart Sullavan young actress, remained a mystery to-day with rumor linking her in an elopment with Jed Harris, Broadway theatrical producer.
 Her studio reported her missing six days. The last they heard from her, studio officials said, was when she drove away to the air. port to meet an incoming plane from New York. The airliner carried a Mrs Harris as passen- ger.
 Miss Sullavan, who rose to screen fame only a few weeks ago in her first starring role, has re- peatedly denied romantic attach ments with Harris. Her employ CTS, however, said she had asked permission to go to Florida before she starts her next picture, Janu- ary 29.
