M The Local Theaters
PoLI's

Those who have seen the two hit double feature program now play- ing at Polls featuring Robert Tay- Tor and Loretta Young in Private Number" and Walter Huston li1 Rhodes" concede 1t to be, without Q doubt the best that has been shown in Waterbury for Q long time.
 Private Number" bringing Rob- ert Taylor and Loretta Young, two two of the screens most popular young stars, together for the first time is one of those interesting pie lures filled with youthful love nak- ing, gay romancing and drama that appeals to everyone. The inimitabse and irrepressahle comedienne Patsy Kelly injects hilarious comedy throughout the picture. The story deals with the question of what chance love has between Q million aires son and personal maid. You'll enjoy 1t.
 Hit number two features the greatest of dramatic malc stars, Walter Huston: That in itself is enough to say that the picture must be an exceptional one, the cast must be excellent and the story out of the ordinary.
 Rhodes" is the name of the fea- ture, and incidentally the name of the character who Walter Huston portrays. Years ago when South America was still Q jungle and tin- populated that historical character through his integrity, courage and foresight conquered sickness, pow erty, gavages and numerous perils and eventually gained control of the great diamond mines and later cornered the diamond markets of the world. The locale is different and great care has been exercised in re-enacting the events as they actually occurred.
 Walter ffuston's poEtral of "Rhodes" is e real masterpiece and 1t will be . picture that will long remain in your memory.
 Tomorrow evening poli'e will pre- sent on the stage the greatest show ever seen in this city, Five acts have been selected from over one hundred out Of Broadway theaters to come to Wa terbury "wednesday evening. A fine variety bill, the like of which you have never seen, with two first~run features at no advance in price. Freddie Hall will be the M. Q. and Gus Meyers and the Poli orchestra win ansist him in this great stage presentation.

ONE OF GREAT SUCCESS
 STORIES OF THIS AGE
Only c. 0. P. Governor to Be Reelected in Demo-
 cratic Landslide
BY WILLIS THORNTON

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Cleveland, June 0-From little known prairie state politician to Q front seat on one of the gaud- lest convention bandwagons of re- cent times, all in one year.
 That's the success story of Ali Landon of Kansas, and the details of how 1t all happened are the awe of delegates as wave after wave of rumor of "Landon on the first ballot" sweep the convention city.
 Like many things which seem to have "just happened" the Lan- don boom didn't "just happen" at all. There was good, solid powder in 1t, but don't think the prining wasn't carefully adjusted, the fuse nicely set, and the match assidu- ously applied.
 Two years ago, newspaper readers noted Q small paragraph in the political news, to the effect that Kansas had reelected Q re- publican governor. H'ml Not only elected in 1032, but the only rec publican governor to be reelected amid the 1884 democratic land. slidel H,ml Oh, wei, Kansas al- ways was naturally republican, wasn't it?
 Who Is This LandOn?
 The modest suggestion by Q Kansas City paper at that time, that this made Landon 0 re. publican presidential possibility, caused practically not even Q mild ripple. Landon? Landon?
 So the winter of l034-6 slid by, with never @ further mention of Landon except by an occasional correspondent, desperate for a political dope story" who noted that Landon was the only repub. lican governor who looked like campaign material at all. The country let Landon lapse back into what Grover Cleveland be- came famous for calling irnocuous desuetude.
 But . certain group of Kansas City friends of the governor, mostly newspapermen, did not for. get. The Kansas City Stars managing editor, Roy Roberts, Q college chum of Landon, and Lacy Haynes, Star political expert, were prominent among them.
 They never quite let the Landon idea die in their own paper. They had friends throughout the coun. try. Roberts had been a widely known Washington correspondent. LandOn Acquires Manager
 Tn the meantime, Landon had pulled off little coup of his own which strengthened his home dc. lenses. When La1don was break ing into politics as campaign man. ager for the liberal Clyde Reed, the opposing manager for the con. servative group was one John Hamilton of Topeka, a good-look- ing young law teacher and legis- lator.
 This rivalry between Landon and Hamilton continued after Reeds election as governor, and Hamilton even prevented Ian. don's election as precinct commit teeman in one contest. But shortly after Landon's first election as governor, David Mulvane, veteran national committeeman, died. And Landon was big enough, or foxy enough, as you choose, to name

Little Backing for Smith

Huey's so-called political heirs profess not to be especially interest," ed in the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smiths proposed merger of the "share-the- wealth" movement with the Town send movement. They say Smith was only paid organizer of the share-wealth clubs.
 Protectvie copyrights on "Share the Wealth" and Share Our Wealth" were taken out by Earle J. Christenberry, former secretary to Huey and now secretary to Mrs. Long, who is filling out her hus- bands unexpired senatorial term. Christenberry has turned the copy rights over to Mrs. Long.
 Allen J. Ellender, Huey's former speaker in the Louisiana legislature, who will come here next January for Q six-year senatorial term, s pledged to raise the "Share the Wealth" torch again and carry on, although no one suggests he will De anywhere near as effective as Huey was.
 Headouarters of "share the Wealth" are in New Orleans and large gobs of the late Hueys speech es are being sent out to interested parties--but not any of the speeches which attacked Roosevelt. Also club buttons.
 No one knows the extent to which the number of clubs and members dwindled after Huey'S assassination, but decimation presumably has been very large. (Copyright, 1S0. NEA Service. Incl

With Huey gone, the wholesale surrender of federal patronage to his followres became more expediert than ever after Louisiana's January primary election. In that contest the Long machine piled Up unpre- cedented majorities and swept into every ofiice practically down to that of the last dog-catcher.
 The five anti-Long congressman, two of whom ran for senator and governor, went down to defeat and the machine took over the entire delegation.
 Just the same, it would be inter- esting to know what those federal .officeholders, once friends of MT. Farley" are thinking now.

 Ousting of Huey LOng's Foes

 Jobs Is Striking Example
 of How Politics Works l.
 Machine Now Is Holding
 Hands With the Adminis-
 tratiOn Share the
 Wealth Move Fading Out.
 Washington, June elf any of the kids start asking, Hey, mama, what is politics2" during the con- ventions, you might give them c little lesson by telling what has been happening in Louisiana, domain of the late Huey Long.
 Almost unnoticed, the govern ment moved the other day to dis- miss criminal income tax evasion charges against Seymour Weiss, chief henchman of Long, and four other Long politicians in New Or- leans.
 Considering all the grim and earnest effort the administration applied in its attempt to break up Huey's machine by those income tax, prosecutions including the hir- ing of such men as former Pro- hibition Administrator Amos w Woodcock and ex-0oV. Dan Moody of Texas as special prosecutors it is interesting now to hear the exc planation of the abandonment given by some of the late Huey's heirlete.
 The administration, they say simply, has been very anxious for harmony"
 Tn any event, the end of the criminal income tax cases comes on top of a remarkable succession of decapitation of federal officials who represented the pro-administration group of democrats. and were ap- pointed against the late Huey's bit- ter opposition.
 One by one, Jim Farley is knock ing off the men who a year ago were carrying the Roosevent ban- ner in Louisiana and is replacing them with politicians designated by the Long machine.
 Feud Was Huey's Own
 The Long people explain that the bitted fight between Long and Roosevelt was Huey's personal feud. that lacking a great leader they're powerlesS to carry 1t on, anyway, and that they're quite content to dominate Louisiana without lock- ing about for more fields to con- quer, as Huey did.
 So the Louisiana delegation will be whooping 1t up for Roosevelt at the democratic convention, the Long machine politicians have forgotten all about Huey's proposed third party, and the two Louisiana sen- ators, John H. Overton and Mrs. Long, have been playing ball with the administration.
 And, by way of returning the corl1- pliments, the administration is rec placing It's former loyal appointees.
 State PWA Administrator Frank Peterman has been succeeded by 8 Long man. Louisianas federal housing administrator lost out in the same way. Rufus Fontenot is still collector of internal revenue at New Orleans, but the Long machine has named the man to succeed him.
 A Long man became postmaster in New Orleans in April. The state representative of HOLC is on the way out, according to Huey'S follow CTS. They also promise that the jobs of U. s. marshal at New Orleans and Shreveport and the U. S. district at- torneyship at Shreveport will soon be delivered to them.
