Famous Orchestra Booked For Buckingham Hall
 Saturday Night

Buckingham hall will be the mecca of thousands of Waterbury's lovers of the very best in saf1usc- meft next Saturday night as Dick Halliwell, maestro of Connecticut's cntertainment promoters starts the first of al fall and winter season series of high class entertainment feasts for both old and young.
 Buckingham hall was selected on account of its splendid stage and seating arrangement, in ad- dition to the perfect dancing floor as these dances win be preceded by a choice presentation of vpude- vile features oh the stage in ad-
 lition to championship ballrpom dancing exhibition that will be pre- scented at intermission by the cream of dancers from all over the state, who have just won the finals at Dicks Hanover park ballroom and are entered in the Century of Progress All-American champion ship contest to be held soon at the Chicago World Fair and you will see ballroom dancing to perfec- ton. "
 The orchestra selected is Buster Johnson and his Southern Knights | ! Night Hawks and are acknow4- edged by experts to be the .clossss rival of the famous Cab" Caifo- way band.
 They have only played in Wa terbury at several ultra social af- fairs at extremely high prices and this will be the first time that they will be presented at popular prices. They played an entire season at the Hartford Hotel Bond and have broadcasted over the Columbia network through Boston station 5WMAC and many other stations.
 They. have also played engage ments in most all of New Eng lands finest ball rooms, such az the Ritz in Bridgeport with return engagements in each place. Dick has had them a number of times at his Hanover park ballroom to crowds that taxed the capacity of the large floor and it was not in- frequent to see the entire ensemble stop dancing to crowd around the orchestra stand to enjoy the rhythmic, tantalizing hot num- bers.
 The stage entertainment will be- gin promptly at 8:30 followed by dancing beginning at and last ing to 11:50.
 These entertainments are also being arranged for those who don't dance but will enjoy the vaudeville features and the dance music. Dick offers cordial in- vitation to every young lady att tending to bring her mother as an honored guest for this first of the series of entertainments.

.BARBERS PROTEST
 NOON HOUR WORK
Claim Factory Hands Are Ruining Trade By Giving
 Hair Cuts

Letters will be sent to super intendents of all local factories protesting barbering done in spare time by men who are not engaged in the barbering trade, according to a vote passed at the meeting of the Waterbury Master Barbers Association, in they. M. c. A. last night. Reports were made show ing that most of the haircutting is done at noontime in the local shops.
 The letters to be sent out will. state that this practice is against the barbering laws and the NRA code, which provides that a man having one job is prevented from engaging in another. A mass meeting will be called within I short time to take further action on the matter.
 President Emil Juliano, who headed the local delegates to the state convention at Savin Rock made report on the busi- ness of the session and urged all members to back up the associa- .tion in the legislation that is be-. ing drafted and prepared for pre- sentation to the state legislature this coming session.

 Several serious strike clashes were reported from New England. None was injured seriously but many received minor hurts. The National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, representing New England firms, reported axiety over che number of southern mills which had resumed operations. It was concerned because continued shutdown of northern mills allowed diversion of orders to southern competitors.

SOUP TO NUTS
Good evening.

The winter looks like to be strenuous For those who would dine quite aufait; From the course that follows the cocktails To black java, not cafe au lait. You begin with dry Sherry pale and nutty, With the fish there's another light wine Which brings you to an entree most plquant In the pattern of how best to dine. The roast and the salad are accompanied By a vintage of old mellow flavour, And dessert calls for rare wine that sparkles complement to sweets of rich savour. So all in all dinings not simple, Ys Whether wines are sweet or quite dry; To heck with the wine list says father, Make mine beer with Swiss cheese on rye

EVERY few months there appears
Il another issue of this far too
little known magazine. It's field is
theatre, music, film, and dance, and
it is published. appropriately, in
Moscow, the theatrical capital of
the world. Between its simple gray
covers has appeared some of the
best material on the theory and
technique of the theatre arts ever
to reach print. Also, it is the only
source Of public information as to
what is being accomplished in the
revolutionary theatre in all lands
International Theatre No. 2, which
is just out, reaches a new high
standard of quality. The Marxist
approach to the theatre is already
yielding fine fruit.
The three articles by great mas
tiers Of the Soviet theatre - on
Plays and Playwrights, by Maxim
Gorky "On theology and Tech
nology in the Theatre" by V. Mey-
erhold, and From the Diary Of
E. B. Vakhtangov,' written in each
case with clarity and simplicity, are
meaty contributions to the under
standing of fundamental creative
problems.
Vakhtangov, the brilliant young
director who died in 1922, writing
back in 1919 before the revolution
airy theatre existed, gives brilliant
analysis of what will constitute the
new theatre. He also has valuable
guidance to offer on the training Of
the actor, and on other theatrical
problems. Meyerhold's article is
rich in fine ideas, and is especially
valuable because it was intended to
explain to the leaders of amateur
dramatic groups in Moscow the
principles upon which his famous
system is based. Gorky's wildly
presented analysis of playwriting
problems contains observations that
hold good for the creative artist in
any field.
In the article, Marx and Engels
on Problems Of Drarnaturgy,"
George Lukas presents material
giving some Of the basic views of
the founders of Marxism on liter
airy questions, showing their posi-
ton to be for realism as creative
method. A. Gvosdev, writing on the
Theatre Of Feudal Society" gives
an interesting picture Of the strug-
gle within the medieval theatre of
the reactionary forces Of church
and nobility against the rising revo-

were bored, the SIS. men suddenly
roared down the corridors Flying
ALARM" whereupon the prisoners, if
they wished to avoid a thrashing,
had to creep under their sleeping
boards and lay there in the filth.
Fiendish TOrtures
BY far the worst was the treat
ment of some of the prisoners who
were particularly hated. For exam
pie, there was little cripple who
had been in Columbia House nearly
half year on the charge of having
participated in a scuffle during
which an S.A, man had been killed.
Evidently there was no proof
against him, since the man would
have been sentenced long ago. This
unfortunate cripple, completely
starved and emaciated, so that he
looked more like stunted school
boy than a perhaps thirty-year-old
man, was daily beaten. The SIS.
men called him by the name Of
"hunch-backed hog" When they
unlocked the door, he was forced
to stand UP smartly and say: 81

cover, eating bowl and a mug to
drink from, one was not even al
lowed to have a comb or a tooth
brush. Sleep at night was disturbed
by SIS. men rousing one almost
every hslf-hour-this happened at
least ten to seventeen times a night.
The reason for this tactic of COM
pletely weakening the prisoners was
that it was necessary to prevent the
prisoners from committing suicide.
Restricted Use of LavatOries
A special torture in this prison
was the impossibility of having suf-
ficient use of the lavatories. Since
in the cells there were neither lava
tories nor pals, the prisoners were
forced to wait for the rare occa-
sions when the cell door was I'M
locked and they were able to go
to the so-called washing CELL
This however, took place in such
a rush and under such dangerous
forms, that there were actually pris-
oners in Columbia House who had
not been to the lavatory more than
four to five times during a period
of four weeks. An all absorbing
question with which one occupied
oneself during the whole day, was
how to drink the minimum amount
of liquid. This torture was made
still worse for some of the prisoners
since the SIS. men forced them to
drink castor-oil.
Naturally, the prisoners could
never obtain any books or news
papers, so that for the prisoners in
solitary confinement the isolation
was applied in its most depressing
form. The only relief was to set
oneself program of various prob
lens from day to day, which one
could think about and discuss with
oneself, and thus keep the brain
active and kill time. The SIS. men
labeled every prisoner in Berlin dia-
lect with the name of "Paule." Thus
