Bette Davis Is
Nets Star

Satan Met a Lady" a new War
ner Bros. picture, opened yeSter-
day at the Metropolitan Theater
for a weeks run. This film, based
on a novel by Dashiell Hammett,
is bizarre and swift. The currents
in the story are many and so swift
that, at times, they become hard
to follow
AS fantastic as the story is,
however, it is clever in its dialogue
and does present battling mys-
terry.
The film moves at a pace that is
kaleidoscope. 1t presents about
as queer an assortment of charac-
tiers as the local screen has seen in
sometime The main theme con-
Germs some crooks who are trying
to get possession of a fortune in
gems and a private detective who
is quite content to run both with
the hare and the houndS-for a
price.
Bette Davis has the role of an
INSCRIPTIONS woman of the world,
trying to get possession of an ivory
trumpet presumed to have be-
longed to Roland, the legendary
hero of French history. The trurn.
pet is supposed to be filled with a
fabulous fortune in jewels.
Warren william, a private de-
tective, is one of the important
factors in the plots and counter
plots of this humorous mixture OF
love and intrigue.
Alison SkipW h. Arthur
Preacher, Winifred Shaw, Marie
Wilson and Porter Hall are fea-
tured in the talented supporting
cast. This new picture was di-
rected by William Dieterle.
The short subjects include
Ruth Fitting film in which this
songstress sings a group of songs,
among which is that forever pop

travel film deals in a most inter
esting fashion with the Suez

FINE EXPOSITION
 OF COLUMBLANISM
Special Agent Daley Ad- dresses Members of
 Sheridan Council

A fine exposition of the principles of Columbianism was given last night in the Columbus club, 79 North Main street, by Special Agent John F. Daley of the supreme office to members of Sheridan Council, No. 24. Special Agent Dailey's re- marks came during his explanation of the Forward Movement of the Knights of Columbus.
 Sheridan Councils quota in the Ten-for- drive which opened Sunday and which will be headed in the local council by Chairman John F. Martin has been set at 45, Spe- cial Agent Daley pointed out. Of this number half the quota has al- ready been enrolled on the council roster. Reports secured last night by Chairman Martin indicated that the other half would be easily secured before the next council meeting.
 Grand Knight Henry Daley of Ojeda Council, Naugatuck, and Grand Knight Louis Driscoll ot Seymour were among the visiting council officers present for the pre- liminary discussion prior to the council meeting.
 Reports were given on the Cath ollie Action banquet of next Tuesday and the Columbian Squire father and son communion breakfast of this Sunday.
 Following the meeting a social hour was held, during which re- treatments were served.
