nance for the next biennium for the

Thoms' Bill Defeated
& Il bill introduced by Representa-
tive John D. Thoms Of this city was
defeated today In the house Of rep-
rescntatives. The bill provided for
the establishment Of juvenile court
In Waterbury and several others
about the state.
Reason for the defeat of the
Thoms bill Is believed due to the
fact that the senate Is now consid-s
ering for the establishment of sew
eral other courts of the same ma
ture. One Of these courts will be SCI
up In waterbury and have jurisdic-
ton over the southern part Of
Litchfield county and the northern
section Of New Haven county. The
local common pleas court mebraces
the same territory.

This may sound like an easy life,
but, take it from any movie veteran,
1t isn't. Waiting between scenes is
the hardest part Of an actors Job. It's
the part that trays nerves. exhausts
patience and induces exhaustion.
Such delays. however, are inevitable
and the players have learned to make
the best of them. They all have their

duty Of the press department to:
Keep the name Of the company and

Keep scandal out Of print.
Keep the players and front Office on

Arrange parties for the press and

Never tell the truth about a picture
