HistOricallY-inclined.

Historically-incined Someone could write a nice treatise the transportation history of Waterbury about now Whenever there's change in prospect it's ing into oblivion in favor of the bus new page in this history must be added It's rather long one too cover ing about fifty of the most important years in the ctys growth The trolley car came in with the rise of Wa terbury in the industrial world It remained to see the city rise to it's greatest heights It serviced old and young back to the early days when whatever travel there in Mattatuck was foot horseback Then the first
 rude carts of the settlers and later of the various types of wagon used for transportation including the stage-coach of post and toll road days They were followed in Waterbury by the horse-car and the familiar old busses used in transporting the shop workers in the late 80's. The electric reigned supreme for only
 few years really, for the inexpensive automobile soon became tea competitor in first tneys and early day busses . The bus holds the fort Nat
 ry we can't forget the hack of blessed memory the treeseater buckboards. All contributed to growth and education. Someone could write epic on their brief day in Waterbury history.

Was there any role she'd especial- ly like to play2 i've never set my mind on a part since the time I was determined to do Cleopatra" she said. '"That was at 6 summer the- ater. I got myself up in . gold brassiere and some spangIeg and went at 1t. The natives ran for miles"
 Temperament2 "only once" she admitted. "In New York I threw a chair at a man. And missed him, dammit
 "Since then have learned a good way to blow off steam. I've got some solid little wooden-backed brushes in my dressing room, and I throw them. I buy 'em by the dozen, espe- cially for throwing. No. don't heave them at anybody. Sometimes at home I break ashtrays. But I think am always nice to people on the set. I can take directiou.p

SOMEBODY'S FATHER

When I knew him first he was quite old, The "pere" of four and six, I'm told, And though knew him not 50 well, What little there is, here will tell. He came from the land of ice and snow. Maybe eight nine, ten years ago, And hence had kept his residence In our land of presidents. He lived on for few years And cheered away the small ones tears And was always ready, if perchance He'd be asked to do Q dance. But he grew more solemn day by day AS he began to tread the lonely way, For he suddenly knew that puzzled fear Of the man whose time is short for here Now his suffering days are spent He's gone to join the regiment Which sits above. with him on high, Way. up. up above the sky.

The Worm Turns
 Then the studio couldn't find any thing for Miss Nolan to do. She waited, and fretted. and played q couple of walk-on bits which were cut out of the films before release. When option-time came at the end of six months Miss Nolan was told that her services wouldn't be needed.
 Just before leaving Hollywood she played the lead In Daughter of Cain" at a local community theater. Al Woods, Broadway producer, saw performance and offered a part in his Night of January l6th.' When the play opened in New York, Miss Nolan had the top spot-a difficult, highly-emotional role which made her an overnight sensation.
 The clamorously successful pre- miere, however, wasn't her biggest thrill. That came when Fox Studios decided 1t could use her after all, and how would she like to work Tor 5000 a week?
 She said no, thanks, and signed with Universal. The agreement al- lows her to spend six months each year on the Broadway stage. Next year, though, she expects to sign a straight contract and remain in Hol- lywood.
 Her first film here was a modest offering called "The Man I Marry, with Michael Whalen as the man. "Too of the Town," som to be re- leased, is a million-dollar produc- ton. Soon she starts work in "As Good as Married" with John Boles. "It isn't comedy" said Miss Nolan' Thank God!"
 She's q "Whooper"
 She never has been engaged. and declares there'll be no romance m her life for a few years yet. INC man could stand living with me- anyway"
 She goes about almost exclusively in the company of suavc. polished Director Gregory La Cava, who Is A. Sometimes she makes threesomc at parties with Lloyd Nolan Cno re- lation) and his wife.

Second Bernhardt. But there is no lodging her resemblance to Miss Lombard. They look a good deal alike and share 8 characteristic ebullience.
 Of course, that isn't saying that Miss Nolan lacks plenty of individ- uality. She had enough to land the leading part in her first picture and now to be starred in Universal's mammoth musical, Top of the Town"
 The role is comedy and 1t is Lom- bardesque. Yet Miss Nolan is ranked by the screen colony as probably the foremost of proven dramatic discoveries of the season. Rival studios are trying to borrow her. She is definitely one of the new glamor girls.
 So She Signed Anyway
 She is only 20 years old. That's hard to believe when you meet her and are impressed by her complete assurance and mature personality Yet 1t was to attain poise and over- come shyness that she started out in high school dramatics back in New Rochelle, N. Y.
 Her name really is Doris Nolan. Her father is Frank J. Nolan, Woolen goods importer. There was no objection from her parents when upon graduation from high school, she joined the Provincetown play CTS under Reginald Good. She knew typeWriting and shorthand, and earned her tuition by serving as the directors secretary.
 That was during the summer of 1883. Tn the summer of 1884 she switched allegiance to the Clinton Hollow Theater at Poughkeepsie. One of her roles there was the feminine lead in "The Late Chris topher Bean." A talent scout for Fox Studios attended and asked her to take screen test. She did, and won contract.
 But 1t wasn't quite as simple as that" Miss Nolan recalled. Y

Miss Nolan and an elder sister live in all apartment formerly occupied by Mary Astor. T can cook if l have to- said the actress. Also I'm a neat duster. read a lot, write a bit. What do write? Well, I've got a scrapbook full of little essays-the way things strike me, and stuff. No, I'll never do anything with them"
 In New Rochelle her nickname was "Skeeter' because sne never was still. Out here she is lazy about sports but rides some. Doesn't like games, except double solitaire, which she says is called Hell" even In the politest circles. She likes that be- cause 1t gives her a chance to scream.
 Screaming is one of the best things Miss Nolan does. She also has an explosive laugh that can be heard all over the lot. It's an in- herited handicap" she said ruefully. We're all family of whoopers. They won't let me laugh on the screen. I blow out the tubes In the sound-rccording machine"
 
 Throws Hair Brushes
 She is on a diet. and hates It. When I lunched with her she nib' blcd at two raw carrots and some lettuce, and looked at my steak with such ineffablc yearning that I could scarcely choke 1t down. She IS 3 feet s inches tall and weighs llS pounds. She weighed 130 when she came to Hollywood, but that was before the giamor business began.

Lansing Strike
Farley Resumed
BY JANTEs =. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES Il. MAkGALLEN
LANSING, Mich, March 26
Q.N.S.).-Walter P. Chrysler and
John L. Lewis resumed their nego.
tiations in Governor Frank Muir
phys offices in the Capitol build
ing at 9:15 this. morning, with
every indication that this was
"the make-or-break day" in the
conference designed to end the dis.
astrous ChrySler automobile strike.
Lewis was first to reach the
Capitol building. Governor Muir.
ply was waiting.
AS he entered the governors Of
flee, Lewis said:
"The odds are, as / see 1t
now, that we will make progress
today"
Fifteen minutes late, Chrysler
accompanied by nearly dozen of
his executives, including K. T.
Keller, president of ChrySler Cor
poration, arrived.
There was just one big issue
before the conferees:
This issue is:
"ShalI the United Automobile
Workers Union have sole bar.
gaining power for ChrySler's ST.
600 employees in his nine
plants?"
The general feeling was that
today's conferences would be de.
cisive. The governor had an.
nounced that If no agreement is
reached today he would adjourn
the parley until Tuesday, but
therewas a strong indication that
neither side wanted to prolong
the discussions and that both
were determined to settle the is
sue today.
Battle Of Wills
This battle of wills features on
one hand the affable, keen
minded Chrysler, who has built
UP the third greatest automobile
business in the world and, on the
other, the hefty. beetle-browed,
grim-visaged Lewis, head Of C. I. o.
and Labor's most dominating per.
sonality.
Chrysler likes to feel he is run
ming his own business. Lewis be-
lteves the working man has an
