~ ABOT STORM, his face SO
stark that every strong line
in it stood out like an etching
of trees against bleak sky
sat In his wheelchair in the study,
using the last of the daylight to look
about this room he loved. IllustriouS
Cabots and Storms stared down dis
dainfully at him from heavy bronze
frames. Two Of them were gallantly
warlike in Yankee uniforms with
plumes and swords and glittering but
tons. One was a debonair officer OF
the Revolution. There was a lady,
too. But Cabot Storm did not look
At her nor mention her to Miss Kirk
land, his nurse.
John Storm came into the study.
His wire-haired terrier, Spot, was
leaping at his feet, trying to show
by the wagging stump of his tail. his
bright eyes, his tapping red tongue,
how mutely glad he. was that his
young master was home again. Miss
Kirkland stopped listening to Cabot
Storms desultory reminiscing. Her
fingers went instinctively to her dark
hair, smoothing it over her ears. Her
cheeks flushed family. A pretty
young woman in a starched white
cap and crisp uniform.
John strobe across the room, with
the special grace that only very tall
men have, and placed an affectionate
hand on his fathers thin shoulder.
He spoke to the nurse. too, without
quite seeing her, and her heart fell.
The hope that had been riding high
since that night at the hospital when
she had first seen him died within

Old Cabot Storm said, Miss Kirk
land, it's about time for my digitalis,
isn't it?" 1t wasn't quite time. But
she understood. He wanted to be
alone with this handsome, 6-foot,
bronzed son of his who had flown up
from Washington to be with him.

A lesson, too, in history and accom-

Marshall laughed and kissed her
lips lightly. You're an incurably ro-

Her blue eyes were on the water now
She didn't know that farther down
that river something was happening
that would change the whole course
Of her life. Continued Tomorrow.

GARDEN

Many songs have been written based on motion picture titles, but "The Firebird," the Warner Broth- CTS production which opened at the Garden theater to-day gains tts name by the reverse process.
 The film is based on the success full Lajcs ilahy play which Gilbert Miller produced on Broadway. The musical composition titled "The Firebird" forms an important and integral background for the dramatic story and is used in the screen version with the same ef- fectiveness that 1t was in the stage presentation.
 "Tho Tlrebird" is ballet writ ten in 1910 by Igor Fedorovich Stravinsky, Russian composer born in 1882, who wrote 1t for Diaghi- lev's Russian company, with which Stravinsky was afterward so close-
 "The Tirebird," one of the most unusual as we'll as one of the most dramatic pictures to come to the screen, is set in the colorful back ground of Austria's gay capital.
 There Is q talented aiI-star cast which includes Verree Teasd4le, Ricardo Cortez, Lionel Atwill, An. ita Louise, c. Aubrey Smith, Dor- othy Tree, Helen Trenholme, Ho- bart Cavanaugh and Robert BaY- rat. William Dieterle directed the pictuye from the screen play by Charles Kenyon.
 The c0mpanion feature is "Crim- inai At Large" with an all-star cast. Comedy and newsreel cons elude the program

STATE

, A new sleuth, and this time e gentlemen of the cloth, makes his debut at Warner Brothers State theater today when Father Brown, Detective" is presented for the first time.
 This priest, very ably played by Walter Connolly, brings new note to detective story films. Despite the calm background of the character himself, the picture is full of breath-taking action, ad- venture and good share of comedy.
 Robbery, insteal of murder, is the theme. Flambeau, an ihterna- tional crook, comes to England to steal a set of famous diamonds. Four of them are in the possess sion of Father Brown, while the balance, to help complicate the plot, belong to the uncle of the girl with whom Flambeau has fallen in love-.
 This Continental Rallies outwtts Scotland Yard at every turn, and, by 8 clever ruse, obtain the uhcle's diamonds. thus losing the love of the girl. It is Father Brown who gives him his big battle of wits, and the kindly priest leads tho entire cast into a series of adven. lures before he succeeds in out witting the crook and smoothing the path of love.
 Paul Lukas slves a very delft portrayal of the gentiemahly but willy Fuanlbeau who occasionally loses his patience over the cun. ming of Father Brown. To- kether with Walter Connolly, he provides the major interest in the picture.
 The love interest is provided by Gertrude Michael, who Is evident ly at home where blood and thun- der is concerned. having been. fea- tured lately fin "Menace".
 The companion feature is Straight From The Heart" with darling Baby Jane, Roger Pryor and Mary Astor in the leading roles.
 Friday night the state presents the first. of q new series of Radio Amateur Broadcasts. This Is the first and only time an event of this kind has been attempted in Wator- bury, being an actual broadcast from the stage of the state theater over station W1xBS, Waterbury's pioneer high fidelity station, and not the usual type of amateur per- forfnaDce. Competing singers, danc- CTS, musicians, quartets, orchebtfas, comedians, etc., have been selected because of their talents and the fact that they are among the best amateur entertainers in the Nauga. tuck valley. Prizes will be awarded the winners. Who knows but Wa terbury may have another Bing Crosby, Ruth Fitting, Fred Allen, Boswell Sisters, Ray Perkins. Jack Benny or Frank Parker? The win. ner of these broadcasts may find fame and fortune awaiting him or her in radio. Thousands of radio listeners viii be tuned in to hear them. Visit the State Friday night and enjoy the double treat of see- ing and hearing these talented young artists broadcast over sta ton W1xBs. David Hale Haipern director of the above station, will act as master of ceremonies.

Naugatuck, Jan 1e.---A threat to beat up his wife unless she stopped annoying him cost Harry Churchill of 21S South Main street $5 in borough court to-day. He was notified to appear in bor- ough court to-day by officer Ken- ney last night.
 Harry said there has been trou ble between him and his wife for the past six weeks ever since he took over the control of the money he earned, and started to pay the bills instead of turning the money over to his wife. He admitted threatening her but said he did not inetnd to carry out the threat, only meaning "to scare her." His wife was frightened enough to flee from her home upstairs to that of a neighbor, she said. Deputy Judge Hugh Hearns rebuked Harry and fined him $5 without costs.
 John Federonis, AZ, of 37 Pond street accused of breach of the peace, had his case nolied on pay- ment of costs of $11.26. His family did not want to press tho charge. He was arrested last night by officers Raymond Carlton and Joseph Kenney.
 The case of Edward Jackson, 33, of Roxbury who was arrested on December 21 and charged with vagrancy, was nolled to-day. 1t had been continued until Jan Is but did not come up yesterday. Prosecuting Attorney Martin Caine explained investigatoin by police had indicated Jackson's trouble was more mental than vagrancy and he has been placed at the town farm for observation under the care of the welfare board.
 Town Clerk Talks
 An explanation of the trials and tribulations connected with the office of town clerk was given to. day by Louis Schiller, Jr, local town clerk in an interesting talk to local Rotary club members at the meeting of the club.
 MT Schiller told those present of his manifold duties. He kfnd- ly omitted among his trials those caused by pesty reporters who come to him continuously as A constant source of news. The meet ing was held in Halls tavern.
 Comptlatoin of statistics monty on births, deaths and marriages, handling of annual business re. ports and of warranty and other deeds were only few things the official discussed.

Some unsettIed Polnts

There is nothing in the contract which prevents Mir PashO from de- termining when such plays will be presented. He must grant the clubs 26> days in the year bu tthere is no clause which rules on whether or not the clubs will have the right to select these days or whether MT Pasho will.
 Much praise is being accorded Warden Sheridan for his efforts to | be fair to all on the matter. The warden insisted all get the right to be heard and quelled moves to hasten the vote on the matter be- fore certain sections relating to 1t, such as the request of the dramatic club, had been thoroughly thrashed out.
 Apparently soma of the board members were determined which way they wound vote and sam Uno reason for discussion of it as they had their minds made up. The war den seemed more alive to the boro- ugh's interests than others on the board. He said he did not think MT Pasho'A bid was quite high enough but did no insist on this point. The warden has no vote on matters on the board unless tie exists. He is an ex-officio member of the board. Representatives. of dramatic so- cieties were pleased that they had won most of what they asked, and praised the warden for his fair dealing.
 The warden and borough attor- ney. Martin E. Gormley, were au- thorized to draw 1t up. Certain points now vague may be incorpor- ated fin the lease.
 The warden and MT Pasho may sign 1t and then the entire lease may go to the board for full ap- proval. This Is expected to be giv- en and will legalize all points fhich are in 1t which have not been defl- niteiy ordered, although perhaps understood. The result is expected t oend the clash between the dra- matic clubs and the Gem theater management.
