only chose it for Waterbury after long consideration. Mickey believes Waterbury should have the picture because of the loyal support he has received from the boys and girls of this city.
 Special Features.
 Manager Fitzpatrick announced the selection of another picture to be presented on the dandy program Saturday. It is a silly symphony, entitled "The China Shop" So, with Mickey's big picture, the Silly Symphony and the two pictures announced yesterday, Laurel & Hardy in '"The Fixer- -Uppers" and a cartoon, "When the Cats Away" the program is fast rounding into shape and is expected to surpass in the entertainment the big program offered at last years party.
 Manager Fitzpatrick is keeping back the chief feature for Satur- day because he wants it to be 8 big, last minute surprise. But here's a tip, boys and girls; your Riddle Party Editor knows the title of the picture and wants to tell you it is a great offering. So watch the Democrat tomorrow for the big surprise.
 FoOdstuffs.
 As the program now shapes up, the boys and girls who bring food- stuff to the Poli theater before 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning will be in one, swell time. Popular Bill Tasillo, and his prominent Waverly Inn orchestra will open the feStivi- ties at 9:30 with Christmas carol selections.
 Uncle Harry of WATR fame and who has myriads of friends among the young folk, will come out in person on the stage and introduce MT. Tasillo and his orchestra. He will ask the boys and girls to join in singing the Christmas Carols. As soon as that part of the program is over, our old friend Mickey Mouse will appear on the screen and then the fun begins. The show will last until shortly before 12 o'clock.
 Don't forget to bring some article of food to deposit in the lobby of the theater and be present by 9:3O o'clock. Remember, the food is to be turned over to the charity com- mittee of the Waterbury Lodge of Elks who distributed it in baskets to needy families.
 Baskets Prepared. The same system will be used this year in distributing the food. Those who have been given tickets by members of the Elks committee are to call at the Elks hall on West Main street around noon time Sat- urday and receive their baskets. Uncle Harry announced today that he had received a check in the amount of $5 from the David L.

BRITISH MINERS
 TO HAVE STRIKE

London, Dec. 19-(UP) - Coal miners, at a national conference, decided today to strike January 27.
 They want 8 50-cent a day pay raise and alteration of a govern ment plan for centralized selling of coal.
 In 8 recent national ballot, 409,- 900 miners decided for strike ii their terms were not met, and only 29,00 voted against one.
 The strike would be the biggest since the great general strike o1 1926, which itself was precipitated by a mine strike. Unrest in the coal field dates from then, when the labor unions suffered 8 crushing defeat. There have been sporadic small strikes recently in Scotland the midlands and South Wales as evidence of the miners dissatisfac. ton with conditions. A sow in St. Gallewkanele, Switz. land, has given birth to litter oi pigs.

Love Of Son
and Father
Berry and Cooper Star in
'0'ShaughneSSy'S Boy
on LoeW'S Screen.
BY WALTER HICKMAN

Father and son on the screen Of
Loew,s become good pals and other
heads OF families in the audience
leave the theater thinking more
kindly of their boys.
Such a picture is "O'Shaughnessy's
Boy" which makes every lad who
sees it say that pop is one swell
fellow"
That is what Jackie Cooper says
to his dad (Wallace Berry after
discovering he was one swell fellow.
Jackie arrives at that verdict after
many tears and heartaches because
relatives and others failed to under
stand a wild animal trainer may be
a fine person.
Jackie's mother dies when he is
very young and the years that fol-
low make him hardboiled.
No boy can resist the charm of a
circus and finally O'Shaughnessy's
boy loves all the elephants, dogs,
lions and tigers as well as his father.
Berry Does Fine Work
While this story of circus life is
being told, Berry does some fine,
thoughtful acting. So much that
O'shaughnessy stands in the list of
his five best DEMONSTRATIONS
After he loses his right arm, fol-
lowing an attack by a tiger, Berry
reaches the peak of sweet, pathetic
acting as he battles to regain his
nerve.
Jackie again comes through with
a performance which shows the. boy
is growing in the art Of natural emo
tional acting.
When JACKIE finally says pop"
and throws his arms around Berry
we'll, something just happens to
ones eye.
Little Star Wrinkles
Spanky Mcfarland plays Cooper's
part as a baby and what a natural
job he does. He is one of the cutest
youngsters on the screen.
Richard BoleslaWski catches the
spirit Of this human little story and
gives it all the sympathy possible.
Taking your boy to see this one
makes a grand afternoon or evening,
a sort of father and son event.
1t is now sharing headline honors
with THE Girl Friend"

Real Singer

Lyric Stage
Joaquin Garay Contributes
Heavily to Revue on
Current Bill.

A singer with splendid voice and
with nervous fingers which enact
the song make Joaquin Garay an
outstanding contributor to "One
Hour With You" stage revue, now
at the Lyric.
Garay attempts no grand opera
mannerlSms but goes to the heart of
his composition with ease and I'M
Outstanding.
Even while singing a Mexican love
song in that language the meaning
is clear because of his facial eX-
preston and the movements of his
hands as he changes characters.
Trio Shows Speed
He has a pleasing and we'll chosen
closing number, Flowers for
Madame" in which the use of a we'll
dressed chorus is advantageous.
The Libonati Trio is as rapid a
dance and xylophone combination
as the variety stage presents. The
boy possesses personality as well as
dancing ability.
Al Norman introduces the act
and gives impressions of how jim
LondoS, a nervous man, and others
sleep at night. Unusual hokum
comedy.
Audience Aids Novelty
Prosper and Maret make an ath-
letic symphony of their balancing
act. Marjorie Clay in her acrobatic
offering does the Well-known chair
split in the best way. An effective
performer.
AS a prelude to the stage show

collectively in popular songs of the
