CAPT rOL

Bette Davis, with George Brent playing opposite her in the mascu- line lead, comes to the Capitol the. ater Sunday in the fast moving First National comedy drama, "The Golden Arrow"
 Miss Davis appears in Q role quite different from those which won her the award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as the best film actress of 1895. Tn "The Golden Arrow" she gives @ light comedy portrayal with a romantic twist, which involves also some dra- matic moments.
 Brent's role is also largely com edy, he being a shy young reporter, whose chief interest is Q book he is writing but who finds time to fall in love with the blonde Bette after a series of misunderstanding and fiirtatious entanglements whic h nearly break the course of true love.
 Other hilarious complications are caused by the attempt of . newly rich oil heiress to break up the love affair and steal her rivals lover after her retinue of foreign princes, nobles and other fortune seekers have deserted her for the lovely blonde, who also is presumed to be fabulously wealthy.
 The companion feature is Will Rogers in "A Connecticut Yankee" with Myrna Loy and Maureen O'Sullivan.

FELIX FERDINANDO FEATURED AT LAKE
Famous Dance Orchestra Booked for Quassapaug
 Sunday Evening

Felix Ferdinando and his great radio orchestra direct from New York will appear ct Lake Quassa- paug dance pavilion on Sunday evening. The booking of this famous dance band for Lake Quassapaug is another of the extraordinary measures which the management is taking to present the best music obtainable for the greater dance season which got underway last Sunday evening when Jimmy Gum and his colored band made It's ap- pearance ct the lake.
 Lieut.. Terdinando and his music needs no introduction to Waterbur- ians. They are tops on the radio and have played ct all leading ball. roams around the country and also at many of the leading hotels.
 On Saturday night Timmie Crowes Lake Quassapaug band will netertain the dancers at the dance pavilion. They also play every Wed- nesday night.
 Quassand beach is certainly well patronized since the great heat wave struck Waterbury and sur- rounding towns. Lockers can be ob- tained by the day or week.

CARROLL

A thrice. welcomed teein will re- turn to the Carroll theater Sunday and Monday when ''petticoat Fever'' new .Metro-G Goldwyil- Mayer prodlic- ton co-Btarring Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy opens for . two day run.
 These two stars haven't been seen together since the memorable "When Ladies Meet" and on seeing the new picture ono wonders why, for here is certainly the outstand- ing coinedysrofnantic team of the talking screen.
 Adapted < from the successful stage play of the same name, "pettIcoat Fever" concerns q young wireless operator in on ice bound Labrador gtation. He is so lonely that, when a beautiful young girl flyer and her male es- cort run out Of gas and make . forced landing nearby, he holds them prisoner rather than face aSl- ether Arctic night alone.
 That he should fall in love with the girl is inevitable, as 1t is that they should be confronted by c succession of comic situations iil view of the fact that the flyer is engaged to her blustery English companion. y%fB. ,@l.

 The picture is an adaptation of the stage hit in which FielNs spoke his first line and ieaped to fame as c dead pan comedian. It places the star in his most natural clement and has been creating sensation on Broadway where 1t Is now in it's fourth week at the Paramount theas ter.

 Tho film surrounds him with the atmosphere of the carnival: with spangies and snake cilarmers,. taiis bark and carouseis, and lets him d6 his exceptional best. i
 Fields puts over more and bet- ter Fieldsian gags in this picture than he has in any past films. ft would be sacrilege to describe them here; they need the masters unique delivery.
 Fields Is given excellent support by those rising young artists Rochelle Hudson and Richard Cromwell, also. Lynne Overrlal, Catherine Doucet and Rogalind Keith. Not listed, but quite impor. tant, are several hundred animals, circus performers, carnival people and side show stars. It's c great screen treat. Broadway says 50 and that should be your recoFli- mendation to see 1t.

CHRIsTNED BY FANS

Lucille Le Sueur Cassin dropped the Cassin when she danced on Broadway. But in Hollywood 1t was decided that she needed an entire- ly new name. A contest was staged and thousands of fans helped in identifying her as Joan Crawford.
 Jean Harlow was christened Har- lean Carpenter. Harlean was de- rived from her mothers name, Jean Harlow. So the actress borrowed the whole thing.
 May Robson owes her name to a printers error. She was born May Robison, but the q" was dropped in the cast dist of her first stage play, She protested, but the manager convinced her that Robson was shorter, less common, and therefore better for show business.
