 REPEATS SHOW
Musical Numbers Appeal Strongly to Audiences;
 Performance Tonight

The second performance of the Civic Theatres current offering of Speak of the Devil' was staged last evening in the Waterbury Women's club. It will again be presented to- night and Saturday night will wit ness the final showing. The musical numbers are registering very nicely with the audience, but it is the gen. eral impression that the dialogue and the sketches fail to measure up to the theatres usually impressive standard.
 It was all done with mirrors mo, voices at the performances Wednes- day night, and, when President Roosevelt was "imporsonated" in the wings by voice, My Friends it sounded as if William w. Vos- burgh, Jr., the impres1ario, was speaking. However, word today is that teh vocal for MT. Roosevelt is being performed by Andrew Mona gan, and the error in identity here with is corrected for posterity. MT. Monagan speaking for MT. Roosevelt

Fitzpatrick came to New York
to complete arrangements for a
duel of music between his "old-
fashioned" orchestra and one OF
the peppiest, top-notch swing
bands of the country. He con-
ferred with officials of the Colum-
bia Broadcasting System, which
plans to stage the musical battle
over a nationwide hook-up.
The controversy was precipi-
tated when Fitzpatrick ordered his
staff to cut Tommy Dorsey'S
swing band off the Detroit sta

deplored by such swing band
leaders as Benny Goodman, Dor
sey, Phil Harris.

 Cora B. Ford asked that interest and lien fees for a sewer assessment on property on Newton terrace be abated. She wrote the assessment was laid in 1883 and she did not recall receiving any bill. If she had she would have paid it, she wrote. The total amounts to $125, of which the interest and lien fees constitute more than half.
 Nicholas Vaccarelli asked that in- terest and lien fees on his property on Arlington Heights be abated. He bought it only recently and did not know of the back taxes of $55 then due, he wrote, and the interest and lien fees since then have amounted to $60 more. He offered to pay the taxes if the interest and lien fees were abated. Both these requests were referred to the committee on abatements.

SENTENCE DELAYED BY TECHNICALITIES
Age of Youth Under Dis= CussiOn-NO Evidence
 Available on Birth Date

The question of whether or not Robert Lupovsky, of 119 East Farm street, is 21 years old or under that age, must be decided before charges against him in city court can be disposed of, Judge Edward Mascolo ruled today.
 If the youth is under q, all court proceedings which have been taken against him will be voided, the judge said, since no guardian for him was appointed by the court. Under the law, this must be done in the case of minors.
 Lupovsky was arrested several weeks ago by Motor Patrolman Vincent Begg on charges of driving while his license was under suspen- sion and speeding. He said at the time he was 21 and was tried in court, with the court reserving deci- sion until today.
 This morning Motor Patrolman Begg said he had been told the youth is under 21. LupovSky said he was told by his parents that his age was 21, but he has no record of his birth-date.
 The young mans birth certificate will be looked up before the case is decided.
