 Wired for Autographs
 Well, the theatrical season of 1935-1936 is under way and Broad way welcomes back Izzie, the Auto graph Hound as well as Duke" Sherry. the gate-crashing invinci- ble. In reality,% Izzie is a Western Union messenger boy, but his hobby threatens to monopolize all his time. In his thick scrapbook, bound in maroon, are the Han | cocks of 500 stage and screen cele- brities, snatched between acts and after the show. But he VOWS to l double the number this year. He is an old pal of Tallulah Bank heads, by the way, and Charming 1 Pollack once composed a magazine | article in his honor, entitled What lizzie Taught 8 Famous Play wright" He was on the outs at one time with Tallulah when she remarked, "Izzie,. you bore me-" But they were reconciled soon aft erwood when Tallulah met him on the street and said, God bless you. Ikey."
 As for Duke" Sherry, he holds some mythical record for having second -storied his way into more theaters than did "One Eye" Con- molly. A strange thing, however. took place this summer. Duke came into some money (honestly). He was in a dilemma about his illicit playgoing. And 50 he fin- ally compromised by purchasing tickets for the shows and then sneaking in, anyway. He saves the tickets as souvenirs.

special offer. In less than ten min- utes young woman entered, whom I had never seen at any desk in the Republican office but who gave some name and waited for the check. An hour later when business matters permitted thought how strange the Republi- can American Inc. had acted, as it had been our practice to mail them our check every thirty days, so I de- cided. on investigation. In the Bus Terminal I saw the young woman who had represented her self as 8 clerk from the Republi- can office. sitting at a booth in company with two slick looking strangers and another woman laughing over how easy they led my company into their net. watched them go across the street to the Waterbury National Bank Building and by a ruse l gained admittance where I found a has tily organized office with several phones being used to call up the business houses in the city in. cluding the old clientle of the Re. publican and the ones using the phone giving ficticious name The following Tuesday a sheet ot jambled ads including my own appeared in the Republican and realized I had been tricked by what was previously of the inn pression was 8 Reliable News paper. I have since cut our ads with this outfit to a minimum and get results from The Waterbury Democrat.

Selected Poem
NOCTURNE-AUTUMNAL.

 (Tom O'Connor in the New York I'mes) The stars blow on before the wind tonight. A vaulted arch, the sky is ruined of clouds, That crash along in a fear-drven flight Like ghosts caught up in their funeral shrouds z vaulted arch, the sky is ruined of couds Fantastic figures leap and run and rear Lik" ghosts caught up in their funeral shrouds: The wind s hoarse with shouting old fear. Fantastic figures leaps and run and rear, The trees toss in penitentia woe, The wind is hoarse with shouting an old fear, And spent leaves rattle death songs, throaty,
 low The trees toss in penitentiaI woe The moon sets haggard beauty the mountain
 head The spent leaves rattle death songs, throaty, low; And Summers dead! The lovely Summers cold
 and dead!

cult scene with Bill Powell, I asked Director Robert Leonard why she had been chosen when she didn't in the last resemble Miss Held.
 "Biii Powell doesn't resemble Ziegfeld either," he countered. "But nobody has complained about havs ing him play that role. AS Q mats ter of fact, we didn't want eithex Powell or Miss Rainer to resems ble the people they're characterize ing. Such c resemblance would make the film less convincing.
 "fIoweyer, Luise has ono thing in common with Miss Held-her eyes. one of Miss Heid's strongest feas lures were her beautiful eyes. Luise's eyes are just as large, just as lustrous, and contain the same tantaiizing quality of pseudo naughtiness.
 'That's the main reason she was chosen. Eyes, you know, play Q very important part in screen per. formances. And when the picture is finished, everyone who remein- bers Anna Held will Dc glad Che resemblance goes no further.
 If it did, there would Dc eoo much comparison and that would detract from the entertainment aviue of the picture"

Hollywood. Hollywood is experi- menting again-this time with original screen operas.
 And # the experiment is sucCess- ful, film producers can stop acquir- ing fresh crops cf gray hair over the grand opera stars to whom they are paying fabulous salaries.
 Frankly, these famous warblers have presented quite Q problem to their studio bosses. Although they are in great demand right now, pro- 'ducers have been burning coiisid- erable midnight oil trying to figure out what to do with the songsters after the supply of popular oper- atic arias Is exhausted. And that is not fer of.
 A short time ago 1t was predict- cd that the solution to this prob- lem would be found in original op. eras written especially for the screen. Preparations now are bee ing rushed to try such attack with "0ive Us This Night" which will TO before the cameras soon, with Gladys swarthout and Jan Kiepura in the top spots.
 Erich Woifgang Korngold, noted European composer, is in Holly wood collaborating with Oscar Haminerstein II on operatic nuft- bers for this picture. Korngold Is writing the music, Hamnerstein the words.
 Two of the completed compost tions, Softly Through the Heart of Night" and "Was There Ever c Voice." both refiecting the Italian background Of the picture, show every promise of being smash hits.
 But whether the public will rec spond as enthusiastically to new numbers Ns 1t has to familiar arlas is something nobody can foretell. If it doesn't, the screen lives of noted operatic stars will be short indeed. If 1t does, the singers should en- joy movie popularity as long as men can be found to compose operatic numbers for them.
