the past spring at the New Haven convention of the Connecticut State Teachers on October 30. Miss Dwyer and Miss Daisy Lord, president of the local organization, were the Waterbury representatives at the N. E. A. convention.
 The report, which was read at a recent meeting of the local teachers association, deals principally with the subject Character Building" the main topic at the convention.
 This topic, according to the re- port "is considered to be the most important to those teachers who are endeavoring to successfully edu- cate the coming generation"
 Miss Dwyer's report competently covered all phases of the topic dis cuSsed at the convention. She col1- cludes the report thusly: "As looked upon our leaders, conserva- tive yet alert for any forward-mov- ing changes, all of them watchful, clear thinking and enthusiastic, l know that we need have no fear for the future; that the formation of any new social order under the guid- ance of these defenders of our de- mocracy would be given much thought and that the security of the teachers and children of the na- tion would always be a matter of grave concern to these leaders in the educational field. They will re- fuse to let our security be tempered with without terrific struggle"

LOS ANGELES, September s.-Mrs

Actor Clark Gable, had a court answer
on file today denying she intended to

Several months ago Gable asked
the superior Court to declare the
agreement valid and enjoin Mrs. Ga
BILE from breaking it.
Mrs. Gables answer declares the
only disagreement lies in determina-

HIT FILM is REVIVED
AT THE LITTLE THEATER
Broadway BILL Capra Riskin
Picture, With Baxter and
Low, Is Sure-fire,


"RROADWAY BILL" which this
week is being revived at the
Little Theater. had to be q bang-up
screen entertainment Frank Capra
directed it; Robert Riskin wrote the
screen play from an original story by
Mark Hellinger, and the two leading
players are Warner Baxter and Myrna
10y. With that combination 1t
couldn't miss, for Hellinger knows
the racing game from feed store to
judges stand; Riskin knows how to
write script that rings true and
brings characters to life; Capra can
make his people behave like human
beings and blend humor and pathos
with touch that spells sure enter
tainment, and Miss 10y and Baxter
are pair of the screens most at
tractive performers.
In "Brodway Bill" the combina-
ton turned out film that's sure-fire.
It's different kind of a race-track
story, with plot that has action and
color and romance, with people that
are human, with atmosphere that is
realistic and with a horse race at the
climax that's as thrilling a race Sc
quence as has been recorded on Gel

Broadway Bill'' is the story of
the man who couldn't stand to be
gently smoothed into the dull groove
OF his father-in-l laws business enter
prises. of his young sister-in-law, who
agreed that pops town and pops
businesses were pretty stuffy. and OF a
great horse with heart and the will
to win, a will that carried him TO
the tragedy that smacks you right be-
tween the eyes at the end of the tale
The writing acting directing combi-
nation unfolds this story Of Broadway
Bill with authenticity. with real hu-
man humor and with touches Of deep
feeling.
In addition to the accomplished
playing done by Miss 10y and Baxter
in the two leading roleS-sincere and
light-hearted playing that makes Dan
Brooks and the Princess pair of
living people-there is a wealth of
talent in the supporting cast. There's
Raymond Walburn to do a rare Ken
lucky colonel, there is Lynne Over
man as his sour henchman, there are
