WATERBURY GIRL
 AT LOEW'S POLL
ROsalind Russell Featured in Drama Night
 Must Fall"

Loew's Poli dares again to blaze a new film trail when it presents Saturday rare thrill-hit! Differ entl Unique! Startling! Nothing to compare with it! Might Must Fall, " co-starring Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell, brings forth some thing decidedly new in screen drama.
 Skillfully directed by Richard Thorpe, this daring story presents an entirely new technique for crime fiction on the screen. Without the element of mystery, the story in- troduces a pathological killer whose mission is known to the audience before he starts to act.
 Montgomery chose deliberately to step from heroic roles to this pe- culiarly difficult characterization. His justification was evident to critics all over the nation who are thrilling to the unique story.
 The film is a daring venture in the production field, but even more experimental for Montgomery who deliberately chose to drop his ac- customed heroic roles for the char acterization of a pathological killer. His performance is remarkable from every standpoint.
 Montgomery is given the talented cooperation of Waterbury,s own Rosalind Russell in this film.
 Recently acclaimed for her bril- liant performance in "Craig's Wife, Miss Russell gives brilliant DOT trayal of girl fascinated and re- pulsed at the same time by a maniacal murderer who intends making her his next victim.
 Observers say that Rosalind is one of the most vivid newcomers to the screen in many years. Although she has appeared in less than a dozen pictures she has already made a dent in the shellacked surface of Hollywood.
 After an insignificant start in stock companies, where she played

Loving Seafaring Char acter, "Cappy Ricks",
 Brought to Life

Edward G.

It's a grand show try to find time to enjoy it.
 Tomorrow's new show will be headlined by "The Go-Getter" in which that irascible but lovable old seafaring character created by Peter B. Kyne, Cappy Kicks, comes to life on the screen.
 Charles Winninger, well remem- bered as Cap'n Andy of both stage and screen versions of Show Boat" plays Cappy in this delightful movie.
 He isn't the Ego getter." That in- dividual is the tall, handsome Irish Star George Brent, who is in love with Cappy's daughter, portrayed by the lovely blonde star, Anita Louise. George and Anita carry the roman- tic interest of the show. But neither nor both-can steal away the au- dience's affection for old Cappy.
 It is an exceptionally well-bal- anced cast that portrays this famous yarn of MT. Kyne's. Apart from the starring trio, there are such players as Henry O'Neill, John Eldredge, Joseph Crehan, Gordon Oliver, Eddie Acuff, Herbert Rawlin- son, Mary Treen, Helen Lowell, Helen Valkis and Minerva Urecal.
 Brent is a member of the crew of the famous dirigible Macon, which plunged into the Pacific ocean few yqears ago.
 This plunge is shown on the screen-one of the most astonish- ing things the movies have ever done. Bill Austin-the character played by Brent-loses a leg in the accident, is mustered out of the navy, and must find himself job in civil life. That's how he meets up with Cappy Kicks and Cappy's daughter.
 He is put through all sorts of tests by Cappy and the girl before he wins them both over. But he does win them, and that's the story of 'The Go Getter."
 An ocean-going honeymoon from which the bride and groom swim home is one of the best comedy scenes on the screen.

HEALTH RATING
 LOW FOR YOUTH
Decrease Shown in Com parison to Report Made
 in 1884

pittsburgh CU.P0-Recovery of health by Pittsburgh's depression children" is tagging behind tinan- cial recovery, surveys of the Ale gheny Emergency Child Heaitn Committee reveal.
 Results of survey conducted last year, for which reports have Just been compiled, show child healtti has actually declined in comparl- son with reports of similar sur vey made in 1884.
 More than 90 per cent of the chil- dren examined, the committee re- vealed, needed eithr medical treat ment from family doctors, dlspens- ary care, or disqualification. :,
 The reports were complleo through a series of city-wide clln- ics attended by children in the z to 6 age group. Most Of the chll- dren included in the 1854 survey were from homes where the fath- CTS were unemployed and recelVlng government aid.
 Charts compiled In the 1884 ana 1936 examinations showed de1ects on the increase among relief fam ,lv children. Tonsil trouble, dental defects, cardiac conditions ana rickets were more prevalent at the time of the second survey, accord ing to graphs compiled by the com mittee.
 Children Remain Happy
 The only optimistic note in the report was the statement that nap py dispositions which characterlzed the children examined in 1884 were still evidenced at the time of the re-examination.
 Outstanding reason for the lack of improvement in child health con- ditions, according to the committee is the lack of facilities and person. mel for nutrition work. More trained nutritionists are needed to hold classes in the various communities and give instructions to mothers on how to make the food dollar do the maximum work, welfare workers said.
 Malnutrition showed definite increase, the reports figures showed. In the teeming Hill district, malnu- triton increased from 45.75 to 52.7O. East End clinics reported an in crease from 46 to 50 per cent dur ing the two year period. Rankin, steel producing suburb, recorded an increase from 1898 to 21.73 per cent; Munhall, 1918 to 20 per cent, and

 Hollywood-Actors don't grow any luckier than Jon Hall. One day he was obscure, discouraged, and doubtful that Hollywood held any, thing for him. Next day he was the leading man in 9Th Hurricane. Produced by star-maker Samuel Goldwyn, 1t is certain to be one of the biggest pictures O. the year.
 This Is not to say that Hall was undeserving of his big break. Indeed, his qualifications lead you to won der why he wasn't selected for the role at first. But he wasn't and al- most every leading man and poten- tial leading man in town was tested as the Polynesian "Terangi" Of the Nordhoff Hall story.
 Quite a few people in Hollywood knew about his background-kneW that he is part Polynesian himself: that he lived in Hahiti for years, oe- sides being widely traveled ana highly educated; and that he IS strapping, handsome, personable all- round athlete who was determined to be an actor.
 But nobody suggested him for the part when GoldWyn announced the production and began a search TOT talent. Hall lived right next door to John Ford, director of "Hurrl- cane," yet Ford seems never to have thought of his neighbor as the wide ly-sought Terangi. The Big Break
 Halls real name is Charles Loch- CT. and he is a cousin-by-marriage of James Norman Hall, co-author of the story. The writer's wife once suggested that she might ask him to write a letter to Goldwyn about Locher. but the young man said no, please-he was sure the producer would be prejudiced unfavoraoly by a relatives appeal.
 The talent hunt dragged on, and finally Joel McCrea was announced for the part. McCrea was uneasy about it.
 He went to GOldwyn and said, ~ don't look like Terangi, or ieei like Terangi, or know anything about that life. don't believe o0ght to do it."
 Just at that time, Hall obtained his release from a contract with Producer Emmanuel Cohen. Alone he went and knocked at the United Artists gate. He talked to lot o1

 Sundays all new program will be headlined by Virginia Bruce ir When Love Is Young. Long one of Hollywood leading featured play CTS, Miss Bruce scored heavily ir such productions as "The Great ziegfeld," and Born to Dance" But it is When Love Is Young" that gives full play to her beauty and talent and in it, even as Wanda Werner the heroine of the picture had done, Miss Bruce scars breath lessly to her new cinematic pin nacle.
 Under the adroit directoin of Hal Mohr, this story of a country girl who smarted under the snubs of classmates and went away to New York to win fame in series of exciting and somteimes hilarious ad- ventures, moves swiftly to a brilliant climax.
 That climax unfolds under the moonlight of a strikingly original harvest scene, the elaborate Jack-O- Lantern set constructed for the pic ture. In this setting, thronged with stalwart farmer lads and beautiful laSseiS, Miss Bruce dances for the first time on the screen and her partner is an amusing scarecrow ir the person of agile Nick Long, Jr Handsome Kent Taylor is the TO- mantle lead opposite Miss Bruce and Walter Brennan, in the fea- tured character role, is presented in an entirely new light as the hu- morous star-gazing uncle of Wanda Werner.
 "When Love Is Young" is as lib- erally supplied with tuneful music as it is with comedy and romance and the two hit songs which Miss Bruce sings-"Did Anyone Ever Tell You" and "When Love Is Young bring out richly appealing quality which her melodious voice has never shown before and in spectacular setting which does the songs full justice.
