CHURCH SOCIETIES
ANNOUNCEMENT

"the talk about general purge was
all mOonshine."
1t would be hard to convince Sena-
tor Walter F. George of Georgia of
that. IF. d." also implied that Sena-
tor Cotton Ed" Smith had said a
workingman could live in his state of
South Carolina on wage of SO cents
daily, and Cotton Ed" has given this
statement the lie direct. This does not
sound as if such senators as George
'COtton Ed and Millard T.. Tydings
of Maryland did not feel that the adj
ministration was trying to purge
them, or that they do not resent it,
If They Win?
If George, Cotton Ed" and Tyd-
ings, like some others, are 4"purged"
all will be we'll from the New Deal
standpoint But if they win ?r-oh my,
what will be their attitude toward the
New Deal henceforward?
True, they are anti-New Dealerish
already. They cannot be much more
so. Yet they can be uglier perhaps

There are signs that President
Roosevelt has embittered the intra
Democratic situation by some of the
things he has said lately.
On his western trip he gave some
pats on the back to primary candid
ates he favors, but he did not actually
put their opponents on the pan. These
opponents doubtless were niffed but
not outright enraged. On his return
trip through the South, however, he
made some remarks that various New
Dealers, even, admit they think were
ill-advised.

 Capitol Theater
 The coveted "blue ribbon" of film dom-the rating of exceptional" by the National Board of RevieW-has been awarded to Pare Lorentz's United States government docu- mentary film, "The River" which opens next Thursday and Friday at the Capitol theater.
 The review of "The River" and the accompanying citation were written for the National Board of Review by James Shelley Hamilton, editor of the Exceptional Photoplay Department of the Boards Maga- zine, who said in part: Taken as a picture, poem, symphony, or a stern lesson in reality, this film is remarkable. Crammed as it is with meaning, it is joy to look at and listen to without regard to meaning. The succession of lovely and elo- uuent images (for the photography is superb) accompanied by the suc- cession of indigenous tunes and-- even more powerfully-of lovely. evocative American names is some thing unique in sound motion pie lures. Pare Lorenz, who did such a good job with "The Flow That Broke the Plains" has done much better job here"
 Enthusiastic attendances are fea- turing the showing of Monastery" pictorial view of the life of the monks, which opened Sunday at St. Joseph's hall on John street. The motion picture program which also
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-24

includes Kathleen" an Irish mu- sical film, will continue Wednesday with matinees at 2:30 p. m, and evening performances at 2 o'clock. Popular prices will prevail.
 The monastic film, a simple and sincere picturization of the daily ways of activity in the mon- astry, is designed to illustrate the contrasting plans of consecrating the monks days to the realization of the spiritual ideal.
 The Irish film, which depicts the life of Kathleen Mavourneen, is brilliant and romantic musi- cal full of Irish wit and humor. Featured are such Irish sentimen- tai songs as "The Minstrel Boy" "The Shamrock" and many oth- CTS.

Reactions! Republican League of New Haven Seeks Scalps of Off, cials Named
 by Or n d
 Juries.

Purging of the Republican party of all those who have been indicted or censured by the extraordinary grand juries in Waterbury and Bridgeport is urged by the New Ha- ven Republican league in resolu- tion adopted at a meeting last night.
 The league adopted another res- olution calling on Mayor John Mur- phy of the Elm City to oust John M. Golden from his post as director of public works, and Senator Mat thew Daly from the chairmanship of the board of fire commissioners.
 The resolutions were opposed by a number of the COP. followers at the meeting, who declared that such action is premature and that the league should bide its time. The action, they said, should be with hold until the men have had their day in court and until their guilt or innocence has been definitely proven.
 The resolution calling for a purge of the Republican party in the state will be presented tomorrow to the Republican state central committee at its regular meeting.
