Crowds tell the story of good photoplays, that is why we suggest that if you have not already dorc so be sure to see Al Jolson and Ruby Keelcr in the greatest of al musical comedy hits Go Into Your Dance" which remains at Warner Brothers State theater un- til Friday night. The companion feature and likewise commendable screen entertainment, is "The Case of the Curious Bride! with Warren William, Margaret Lindsay and All len Jenkins.
 Saturday next brings Claudettc Colbert, winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences award for the best feminine per- formance of 1884, m her late:. starring picture, "Private Worlds" ," Miss Colbert is supported by cast headed by Charles Boyer, noted French star; Joan Bennett, Joel McCrea and Helen Vinson.
 "private Worlds" Is adapted from the best selling novel of the same title by Phyllis Bottome. Miss Colbert Is cast as brilliant your E psychiatrist skilled in probing the loves and hates that he in the private worlds" of other peoples minds, but as naive In understand ing her own secret thoughts as any child. The romantic interest is provided in her relationship with Mover, and in the conflicting rela- tionships between McCrea, Mss Bennett and Miss Vinson.
 In her new role Miss Colbcr, combines the characterizatlons she established in Tt Happened Ore Night' and The Gildcd Lily" with the more serious heroines of some of her previous pictures.

ALTHOUSE SCORES
 IN CONCERT HERE
Lighter Numbers and Oper- atic Arias Please Buck
 ingham Hall Audience

It is a great many years since Paul Althouse, tenor, sang in Wa terbury, but he was received again last night with the spontaneous enthusiasm that greeted him on previous occasions when he sang here in straihgt concert programs or as the featured tenor soloist in oratoria. His voice has grown in depth of emotion and feeling; the same artistry is there and as n New York critic has stated, "his tones have taken on an astonish- ing ring and rich color" In addi- ton to this quality fine drama tic feeling is evident. Last nights concert was at Buckingham hall. third in the Community Concert series.
 He was excellent last night in his lighter numbers as well as the operatic arias. Philip Gordon, at the piano, was an able and eff- cient accompanist for MT Althouse. Four groups of songs were includ- ed in the first half of his program, and two followed after the inter- mission. His Meyerbeer aria from "L'Africana," 70 Paradisio" was outstanding as were his Schubert and Strauss selecting. He opened his program with the very impress sive Total Eclipse" from Handers Samson; this was followed by a second Handel offering, "Sound An Alarm" from Judas 'Maccabeus." This last was replete with dramatic feeling and MT Althouse's presen- tation was artistic as well as dram- attic. The Schubert selections were Der Atlas" and "Die Forelle"; the two Strauss selections were "Heimliche Aufforderung," and Al lerseelen." Following this group MT Althouse sang the Meyerbecr aria.
 Tn the second half of his pro- gram MT Althouse included "The Minstrer' by Martin, My Lady Walks in Loveliness" by Ernest Charles, and Bone Come A-Knit- tin" by Jacques Wolfe. An arr rangement by Deems Taylor of French air of the 18th century. '"The Drummer-Boy Song," Pray CT For a Little Home," by Jessie Moore Wise, and T Love Life," by Man-Zucca concluded MT AL thouse's program.
 MT Gordon in addition to accom- panying the tenor played two piano selections by Donnanyi, the Hun garian composer, the first "Rhap- sody in F-sharp minor, followed by 'Naila Waltz" arranged by Deli bes.
 Last nights concert was the last of the Community concert series for this season.

POLl'S

Tonight is the last opportunity that Waterburians will have of seeing the superb double feature program now on tap at this thea ter, as no matter what the size of the attraction Polls will not hold them over and consequently Reckless" with Jean Harlow, William Powell, Franchot Tone and Rosalind Russell will come to the end of It's local engagement and also on the same program Is a picture that has the whole town talking, one of those great pictures that comes to town every so often unheraldcd and unsung but which rivals those in entertainment value that are supposed to be a lot better. That is just the category that "$10 Raise" Is in. which is the feature. and co-starred in this picture are Edward Everett Horton and Karen Morley.
 Wednesday will see at Poli's the greatest array of films ever in town. Imagine seeing on the screen of a theatcr three great features; the first being "One New York Night" with Franchot Tone and Una Merklc featured, here Is a picture that should be shown on the selected dates of any theater, and they would be proud to present 1t then; but Polls have so many good pictures that they have to play the pictures off as soon as they are released, so that is just the reason that this gem will be shown on the midweek change of program, this will be the first feature on the triple bill program, the second feature that rivals the first in ever detail is Spencer Tracy d prime Waterbury favor ite who will be seen in his latest film success, Its Small World", and with him Is an all-star cast. The third. but not the least. is the third issue of "The March of Time" your favorite radio program brought to the screen, with its marvellous entertaining programs.
 Wednesday night only, on the stage of the theater there will be presented another of the now fa- nous Poll amateur nights, only this week there will be more at- fractions, q radical departure from the programs of the air is the rule at Polls and this week another novelty will be sprung; 1t is tho Hollywood type of performance and q great night should result.
 Saturday morning at 10 o'clock Polls vii present the third Miller & Peck Riddle show and this one will surpass all othors, all of the subjects are those nearest the heart of kiddies. There will be n two-hour show of Mickey Mouse cartoons, Silly Sympony cartoons and last h"t mt ieast Little Shir.

 Thrills For Kids
 At the close of her act. an 'n- novatIon in bareback riding was offered when three youngsters se- lected from the audience were placed on the horses back and with q rope attached 10 a hook in a belt around the boys waists. and told to ride. The stunt was at- tempted to show how bareback riders are taught to ride. Well, the act was riot. There Is no danger of the boys getting hurt, for when they slip from the horses back, the rope, attached to a pull ley, keeps them dangling in the air. It was a good show, the au- dience liked 1t and 1t created an impression that the good old sum mertime with the outdoor, three ringed show, Is just around the corner.

Despite unsettled weather condi- kfons large crowds of persons with d considerable number of young nters, turned out for the opening of the Zindah Grotto Circus at the armory last night. The show is pregenfed by Frank Wirth, who will be remembered as having brought the first indoor circus tO Waterbury for the same Grotto last year.
 This years show features a number of different acts-for tn- stance, large bears that do tricks on roller skates and elevated bi- cycIes. an elephant that walks on two legs across a four inch square beam - a pair of hat throwers who succeed in getting the audi once all worked up - a feminine tight, rope walker who performs without a balancing bar and funny clowns with brand new tricks.
 The circus was greeted by an appreciative audience on its first nights showing and if applause can be taken as a criterion, the show can be marked down as huge hit.
 Three Kings In One
 The one ring show got off to an suspicious start with all the trim mings that mark a three ring af- fair, The Sphinx Temple band, resplendent in red and gold-brald- ed uniforms paraded into the armory and then were led by Mayor Frank Hayes and Monarch c.

 ingtOn Hill
WASHINGTON HILL

More than 800 attended the open
 house held last night at the com
 munity house by the Washington
 Park Community Club. The out-
 standing feature on the program
 was a drill which was put on by
 the Laughter Teem Club which rec gently won first prize at the Hotel Bond in Hartford. The exhibition
 was cleverly enacted under the df-
 rection of John Malone.
 The balance of the evening was
 spent with both round and square
 dancing being enjoyed by the club members and their friends. Music for the drill and also for the danc- ing was furnished by Grenier's or- chestra. Ted Donahue was chair man of all arrangements and was assisted by Martin Tehan. Ray Grady, William Kelly, James Kelli- her, Martin Hayden. Helen Shea, Mary Grady, Mrs Charles Martin, Mrs Henry Hayden and Mrs
 Michael Kelley.
 Church to Entertain The last open dance to be given by the South Federated church will be held on Thursday evening at the Washington Park Community House. Chairman Thomas Evans has issued an invitation to all the people on the hill to attend this af-
 fair. The church has been holding dances and entertainment at the community house every week dur- ing the winter months and the
 committee in charge of the dances decided to make the final one a
 big one and has invited the res- idcnts of Washington Hill to join
 with them in bringing the program to a close.
 Corps Enlarged Several new members were add- ed to the St Francis Drum Corps
 last night at a meeting held in the church hall. Terry O'Connor of Naugatuck was in charge of the meeting. New flies were distributed
 last night and the drums used by the old corps will be used for the present but new ones are to be purchased in the near future for the boys. Plans for outfitting the

Plenty of Chances
TO Gamble

To the Editor of The Times:
! don't gamble on cards or horse
racing. A good deal of talk has
been going on about gambling IN
Washington. It's bad for the
children. There is not a church
carnival given in Washington
that doesn't have a children's
booth to play one cent to win
q prize. OF course, it is against
the law for us to take a chance.
They have a game called
dart wheel, a game Of skill. Ten
or more people play the numbers
and one has to throw a dart. If
1t hits your number you win.. Is
that not betting on his skill?
There is a game called bingo
at the stores. It was sold during
Christmas as were other games
of chance-bird cage. cage with
tortoise and many others. They
allow churches and lodges to
sell chances on a turkey. Chill

do it it's O. K.

Sees Need of Opera
House Here

To the Editor Of The Times:
Your paper carried this week
an interview with European
opera star in which she said
she was puzzled that the Capt.
tai Of the United States had
no opera house.
She is not the only one who
is puzzled. Music lovers for
years have been hopeful that
an opera house might be built
here by our Government, as
every nation in Europe has
done.
we have spent millions Of
dollars in building roads and
In other projects. Why not
spend some Of this money on
a beautiful opera house, so
that Washington audiences
may hear the great music Of
the world in the proper sur
Toundings?
Certainly this would be a
noble project, giving work to
thousands Of men and women,
and would mark tremendous
advance in the cultural history
Of the nation.

GETS
SALARY DATA

Government salaries in the
lower two-thirds bracket average
$113.32 monthly, the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes revealed today following a
statistical tabulation of $500 ques-
tionnaires obtained from person.
mel in response to request from
Representative Sirovich.
Workers in the District receive
somewhat more than field EN-.
ployes, the tabulation indicates,
averaging $121.l0 against a COM
puted $105.55 for those who work
outside of Washington. Including
high paid executives. the returns
give a general salary of $167.97 for
personnel as a whole.
Federation officials said the
most interesting development of
the investigation is the similarity
between field and Washington
compensation, it having been ex-
pected that District stipends would
range considerably higher than
they are.

Asks Aid For Deaf
At Movies

To the Editor of The Times:
After reading many interest
ing letters in this column, the
one that interests me most Is
on deafness.
The theaters should have ear
phones installed, the same as
the Fox Theater. AS ear phones
are rather expensive, everyone
cannot afford them. Some can
hear the talking through a de.
vice, while others cannot,
If 1t could be arranged so the
wording of the conversation is
flashed on the screen, what a
good break for those people.
They can't possibly enjoy the
pictures or understand them,
unless something is done to re.
lieve the situation. Wonder
what can be done or by whom,

Wants to Smoke
In Street Cars

To the Editor Of The Times:
Cannot something be done
to prevent the discrimination
against smokers on the street
cars?
I am not allowed to smoke in
my office, and it would be a
Solace to light up my pipe dur.
ing my 40-minute ride home af.
ter a hard days work. But I
am denied this pleasure.
In other cities certain sections
of a street car are set aside for
the. use of smokers, and I fail
to see why this can not be done
here.
The street car company al
ways complains of not enough
business. I believe that if they
would take steps to accommo-
date those who wish to smoke,
they would find that many men
and women as well-would
ride the cars to work.
