ParaphraS1ng the beloved VIII
Rogers, all I know from what I
read in the papers is that this
young Brevity hcss had better step
out at Churchill Downs and win
Kentucky'S Derby-and win it gal
Looping, like Old Rosebud, Bubbling
Over, and Twenty Grand turned
the trick. And if he knows what's
good for his admirers, Brevity will
win the derby galloping in about
2:01, which would be smashing
Twenty Grand'S Derby record all
to SmithereenS.
And then, If Brevlty has due
regard for the predicament Of his
cohorts, he will annex in turn,

Realization. prove his staying
qualities by beating horses Of

miles. and too, so his critics
can't carp at him. capture the
Narragansett Chandicap> Special.
Then it couldn't be claimed he
ducked the hRndicapper.
Brevity really must do all this,
because his acclaimerS have
elected to put themselves right
plum on the spot. In the three
weeks since his Florida Derby vic
tory I have read and heard Of
Brevity as the sure Kentucky
Derby winner. the greatest colt
ever to run for that race. the

STRAND

An all new shoe begins Q three day engagement today at Warner Brothers Strand theater. A tem- peramental screen star falls in love with an independent male who curbs his affection on the grounds that her allure and national popularity are no excuse for her exasperating ego- tism. The stormy incidents which result from their rapidly alternating reactions to each other bring on Q startling denouement.
 This lively comedy drama is brought to the screen in "In Per- son." in which Ginger Rogers has her first solo starring role. As the pampered lass who is forced to ex- ert charm and strategem to win the man she loves. she is said to dis play to a high degree her flair for light dramatics. George Brent plays the leading male role opposite Miss Rogers.
 From the story by Samuel Hop kins Adams, author of the screen- play of Tt Happened One Night" sIn Person" finds logical moments during which to introduce three popular songs and two dances ir- terpreted by Ginger.

Bent. on furtherinG his education he subsequently, entered Trinity college at Hart ford, graduating in 1888.
 His early ambition was to fol- low in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, John P. Elton, both of whom were prominent fig ures in the brass industry .. He started as an office boy in the Waterbury Brass company. In the due course of time he be- came assistant treasurer and later treasurer. Tn 1900, when the formation of the American Brass occurred, he was named treasurer end held that office until he re- tired in l022.

 On the screen is the double fea- ture screen program, "The Tough Guy" with Jackie Cooper, Joseph Collelia, and Rin Tin Tin Jr., and as the companion feature there Is Dance Band" with Buddy Rogers and June Clyde.
 Starting Saturday and for days only Polls, presents to its patrons a picture that will always finger in their memories. Taken from the stage play of the same name, which pfOVeQ D SetibdtAOh UOWi AA ~s" York and on the road and caught the fancy of Waterburians in Q To- cal showing, Rose Marie" is the singing sweethearts of Naughty Marietta" better than ever if such title of the film and 1t stars the a thing is possible, in the most t,neful and melodic film that has ever been shown in Waterbury, this is a guarantee from Manager Ed. Fitzpatrick who previewed this film in New York Monday and wired the theater to go the limit on this fea- ture that 1t had everything. He states that Jeanette Mcdonald and Nelson Eddy were never heard to better advantage and that Allan Jones. who scored such 6 hit in "A Night at the Opera" also is marvellous.
 The screen polarization of "Rose Marie" is greater than the stage play as the producers, had advan- tages denied the stage production, as the actual filming of the picture was done in the Canadian North- west. where the story is laid.
 Selected short subjects that are always the best to be had will be offered in conjunction with this film and all tending to make up the very best in the cinema field.
