POLES

Polls has another great show now current and the concensus o1 opinion of the patrons as they leave | the theater is that 1t is the best | that they have seen in the proces. sion of hits that have been shown at this popular theater for the past year.
 There are two superb attractions on the screen now, each worthy of single position on the program of any other theater but at Polls where all of the best of hhe pie lures will always be shown they take the place of inferior stage at- fractions.
 The first feature is Charlie Chan in Paris" Further exploits of the willy celestial detective who always seems to solve the most baffling mysteries in the easiest manner an dwho mixes humor and comedy with his troubles and fur nishes great amount fo joy to those who see his efforts.
 The second feature is Ann Hard ing in Enchanted April" the same story in every detail that as a novel was a best seller and then as a stage attraction puacked theaters the length and and breadth of the country. she Is ably supported by Frank Morgan and if you miss this feature you miss one of the best films that you will have chance of seeing this year.
 Tonight on the stage of Polls at 9 p. m.. there will be another of the popular radio talen quest additions and this week promises to be bigger and better than any that have gone before and this is promise of greatness in a stage show when the superlative shows that have been shown there are taken into effect.
 The best assortment of amateurs to ever face an audience will vie for the awards and then as a spec ial treat Manager Ed Fitzpatrick has secured four outstanding quest artists who will add to the enjd&- ment of the program, and lal of this besides the fact that Harry Shaw, the genial master of cere- monies, will be on hand to see that the speed and zip of the show is carried on. Remember, there is never a dull minute at Polls on Wednesday evening. As special contestant Walter Lynch. the Al bany songbird, will be on hand to warble ditties, as he did in the past as q member of the Neil O'Brien minstrels. He has selected as his 'number one that he helped tc make famous in the days before the ward, Broken Hearted" is his selection and he will no doubt leave many in that condition when, he has finished? Be on hand-there will be fun for all

moreover, just how much have we improved? Many men have gone to work. But how many are still out of jobs? And how long before they will be taken back into m dustry? How long before we can end doles? Charity for millions When are taxes to be lowered How long before the government can withdraw its support from business?
 CLEARING THE FACTS
 Unfortunately good deal of fiimsy nonsense is spread about on this point. Unfortunately we get most of our information from people who want to sell us things and politicians who want to cap- ture our support. The people whn have things to sell always chirp III optimistic accents. The democrat ic politicians hail the great ad- vances under the New Deal. The republican politicians insist it is all a sham. My own suggestion Is that you pay no attention to any of these groups. None of them has a powerful motive for telling the truth. None of them knows very much about it anyhow.
 Whether we have improved or not and how far is pretty much a matter of fact. The facts are, for the most paN, obtainablc. They can be obscurcd in vast array of statistics. But let us try to reduce them here to some simple and cas- fly understandable form.
 In order to make as smiple q picture as possible let us imagine the nation as great workshop.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-06

And then, in order to avoid ,alk- ing in hundreds of millions and billions-figures which defy the perception-let us reduce this vast workshop to some smaller dimen- sions. Let us imagine 1t as small factory which would be typical of the whole industrial structure. Let us look into this factory in the early fall of 1929. It is factory which then employed 1000 work i ers4 Every Saturday night the boss paid them in wages $25,250. That is, they were earning $25.25 week each.
 Now let us look into that same factory at the end of 1882, just be- fore the New Deal was launched. Of those 1000 workers, AGO were gone-fired because of hard times. There were only $40 left. They were earning, not $25.25 but $17.40 week each. In other words, tho boss paid out in wages only $9,39G instead of $25,25O.
 Now at the end of nearly two years things have improved. Of those 460 men and women who were fired, 130 have been put back to work. That is, there are now 67O employed in that workshop in- stead of just $40. They are getting $1S.SO week each instead of $17.4O. The boss is paying out $12,596 a week in wages instead Cf $9,396.

| Current attractions at Warner Brothers State theater include George Arliss' sensational hit '"The Iron Duke, regarded as the finest
 portrayal of his distinguished ca. reer, and Murder On a Honey moon" with the new king and queen of comedy, James Gleason and Edna May Oliver.
 Friday brings another smashing stage and screen show. Five big headline acts of Broadway's smart est vaudeville include the Harmony | Co-Ed a bevy of beautiful and talented girls who not only play instruments but who sing and | dance to please the most critical taste. In music they run from | classic to the most modern type of companied by scenic and weird | lighting effects such as have never | before been seen in a local thea ter. To complete their versatility | these clever misses have arranged symphonic choral effects that are | modernistic in the extreme.
 "The Radio .Ramblers", MEG. stars, have a clever offering. These popular entertainers, Sid Rice, Irv- ing Lane and Sammy Vine stop the show everywhere they play and are to-day top-notchers in vaudeville circles.
 Gresham and Blake have q com edy offering "Go Nuts With Us" land Ray Rogers has new bag of tricks which he dispenses under the nom- de plume of "The Inter- national Comedian" The Yellow Jackets open the show with fast moving dance offering.
 On the screen will be found Ed ward G. Robinson's new hit "The | Whole Towns Talking" Based on a story by W. R. Burnett, author of Robinson's greatest film success, | Little Caesar" and adapted to the screen by the two ace scenarists at the Columbia studio, Robert l>lskin and Jo Swerljng, "rhe Whole Towns Talking" presents the hill arious and exciting adventures of a meek, poetic office clerk who is sprung into the headlines because of his remarkable resemblance to the country's most dangerous | criminal.

 which is to identify him as the respectable citizen and not the public enemy whom he so strong | ly resembles. Killer Mannion, hia double, obtains possession of the passport and thus goes about his criminal activities with compara- tive immunity.
 1 Lovely Jean Arthur is cast in the picture as the girl whom Robinson has always loved but has been toe shy to woo. With his unexpected distinction and newly found cour- age he turns the table on his hard boiled counterpart and crashes through to a heart-stirring climax. l Remember matinee prices 20 and 35 cents. children 10 cents, arc in effect until 5 D. m. on Friday and until 3 D. m. on Saturday,

picture our national industry as consisting not of one workshop but of two. In one men are employed producing consumers goods - things we all buy in stores. IE the other men are supposed to be engaged in making heavy goods goods which cost great deal Ot money mAchinerq, locomotives, houses, roads, buildings, etc. These may be called capital goods.
 Now that first workshop has been fairly we'll started. But the second one is in a bad way and continues i'll bad way. It has not only seen no recovery; 1t has actu- ally fallen back. But the people who are employed in this second workshop use their wages, when they have them, to buy the goods made in the first workshop. So that first workshop loses them as customers and cannot increase its output until it's customers in thls second workshop are employed.
 The big job, therefore, Is to got that second big workshop back in- to business. It ought to be able to hire 100000 people. If it did, their needs would result in hiring 100000 more at least in the first workshop.
 Whether we will go forward or fall back will depend on whether or not we can get that second great workshOp-the heavy goods industries-to work.
