Paul NUM- watched himself on
the screen and came out to &C
cept the applause from the Size
walk gapers. Directors William
Dieterle and Michael Curtlz
chatted with Director Mervyn Le-
Roy; Charles Boyer took a few
bows; Eddie Robinson, from his
car, saluted your correspondent.
George JeSsell was congratulating
everybody. Gale Sondergard must
hAve had her neighborS present,
for she was acclaimed almost every
time she appeared on the screen.
Even before she did anything.
Lengthy Running Time
The picture ran for 10 minutes
beyond two hours and will prob
ably undergo q pruning before it
is nationally released. It is def
initely bell ringer, although some
may say that the great MUM is re.
enacting his Pasteur character.
Both screen heroes have a gorgeous
set Of whiskers.
I never saw a movie audience
quite like this one. They applauded
the characters when they made
their first appearance on the
screen; they beat palms furiously
whenever MUM made long
speech; they thumped out a noisy
ovation at the finish. Either the
entire studio gang from Warner
Bros. was present or this is the
kind of an audience an actor
dreams about, and seldom gets.
To tell the strict truth they had
something to raise the roof about.
Director william Dieterle, just
about the best in the business at
these history and fiction tales, has
done q beautiful job.
The screen play by Norman
Reilly Rains and Geza Herzeg Is
a soundly constructed script, pro-
crossing smoothly to a tensely dra-
matte climax, highlighting the
freedom of Captain Alfred Drey-
fus and the death of Emile lola.
Film Backwards
They shot this picture back
wards at the studios. This was
to accommodate Paul Muni's
whiSkers for in the early scenes he
was smooth shaven. Actually his
makeup is marvellous. Perhaps
he paid more attention to it be-
cause he was nationally criticized
for not usually aging as Wang
Lung in THE Good Earth"
Later the Washington critics
will recount the story of Captain
Alfred Dreyfus: his imprisonment
on Devils Island; his long wait
for justice, and the brave fight
that Emile lola made to right a
great wrong. A very good story,
exceptionally well told on the
screen.
They have steered away from
controversial race angles as much
as possible, without disregarding
the history books, but Hitler will
never let this one cross Germany's
borders.
Love of justice and Zola's affec-
ton for mankind must take the
place Of the conventional boy-girl
formula. That is one box office
weakness. The girls can't picture
anybody with buShy whiskers as
kisSable. However, this is for an
adult audience. Those who liked
Louis Pasteur" should see it by
all means.

GAS POISONINCS
 WEEKS TRAGEDY
Local Family Escapes Fate of Bridgeport Family;
 Leak Detected in Time

As four independent probes are, being made for. the cause of the five deaths by asphyxiation in Bridge port last Tuesday, Waterbury of- ficials were cognizant of the escape two local families had on Sunday from similar fate.
 Raymond c. Yeoman, his wife and three children, all of Bridge port, died as a result of asphxiation from Illuminating gas fumes which swept the North Park avenue resi- dential district of that city early Tuesday morning.
 Investigators found a circular break in the cast iron gas pipe in front of the Yeoman home, and believe the gas seeped from this leak into the house.
 It was in similar manner that five year old Marie Spezzano of 9l Railroad Hill street, this city, was partially overcome last week. Her father and mother, MT. and Mrs. Joseph Spezzano, and another fam- ily, MT. and Mrs. Salvatore Celia, were forced to leave the house to es- cape the deadly fumes.
 An emergency crew found a five inch crack in a weld of pipe in the front of the house, and reported that from this leak the gas was es- caping into the cellar of the house and then flowing into the rooms above. Officials believe that if the gas had not been discovered so early in the evening Ct was shortly after 2 o'clock the families might have retired without knowledge of the presence of gas and died in their sleep.
