Some Notes

can name no other innovation in dra-

in these United States. And both of
them OF course can look to the Com

The subject of today's discourse,
however, is not burlesque, which has
fallen considerably from repute since
its earlier and happier days, but the
living newspaper. The living news

The first living newspaper was titled

of the high militant content that fla

rejected and for which she was sus-

agreed to and their English lessons
were well under way when the senior

Young as Eugene de Montijo and by
Annabella as the fictional Toni Pal
lerin, is providing some fortnight
spectacle which is intriguing, at least
in the making.
The troupe started out building the
canal through the sand dunes of the
Yuma Desert. For a later construc-
ton stage they moved over to the Gov
ern-built All-American Canal where
two modern dredges were revamped to
simulate those of 1850. Dissatisfied
with nature the crew came onto the
lot where a set was constructed af-
fectionately known in the studio as
the Great Zanuck Desert. Three
thousand truckloads of sand were
brought from the beach 13 miles away
and spread upon the landscape. Cam
era towers were set up and the Bev-
erly Hills skyline with Pickfair and
the towns laundry were masked by a
glass shot, a pane of glass on which a
new skyline was painted with mosques
and minarets. All went well until an
unusual windstorm in season OF
unusual weather picked the desert up
and scattered it through the studios
executive Offices and over nearby golf
course. The desert was rehabilitated
with more sand and shooting pro-
gressed without further unfortunate
incident.
Although Daryl Zanuck treated the
building of the canal once before when
he made "Disraeli" with George Arliss,
that portion Of history in which Eng
land swiped the ditch is being ignored
in the Power version. In fact, the cur
rent edition smiles indulgently upon
history and confines itself to pomp and
love. 1r an attempt to correct the un-
fortunate impression made by Anna
bella in "The Baroness and the Butler
in which not even her stanchest admir-
ers could understand her. the studio
has borrowed Stanley Logan from

LAKE QUASSAPAUG
 PLANS FIREWORKS
Mammoth Display, Post pOned From Last Night,
 to Be Staged Tonight

A mammoth display of fireworks on the lake front, will be offered at Lake Quassapaug in Middlebury to- night at 10:3O o'clock by Manager Michael J. Leon. The fireworks were scheduled to be put on last even- ing, but owing to the heavy down. pour from until 8 o'clock, the post ponement was necessitated.
 Another feature to be inaugurated at this popular resort beginning this evening will be night bathing until Il o'clock. Demands from young and old being so numerous for this novelty the management has decided to meet their requests. Two Red Cross life guards, Louis Barber and Paul Guglielmo, will be patrolmen at the beach until clos ing time.
 Manager Leon was very much dis appointed in not being able to put on the fireworks last evening, but on advice of the two New York men in charge of the display, deem ed it advisable to make a one-night postponement. The ground was so wet after the torrential two-hour doWnpour 1t made it almost impos- sible to shoot off the ground display.
 Dancing will also be enjoyed this evening from 8:30 o'clock until mid- night with Frank DelFino's Hotel Elton orchestra, featuring comedy Edith Sacco and Bill Keidel as vo- calists, furnishing the rhythms. Jack Fitzgerald is master of cere- monies. Dancing to the music of Del Fino is offered every evening but Monday and Tuesday.

TITLE SEARCHER'S
 FEE RECOMMENDED
Corporation Counsel to Determine Fund; Hos-
 pital Plan Discussed

Payment of $320 to Attorney Dan- iel F. Pickett, employed as title searcher by the City for about 16 years, will be arranged out of sew- CT and street layout assessments by recommendation of the board of finance yesterday. Although Con- troller Sherwood L. Rowland has re- fused to honor acquisitions for these payments over the months of work, the board yesterday directed him to confer with Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor to determine how the fees shall be paid.
 The controller had claimed that there was no item in the budget to provide for such payment and Con- missioner John H. Goss questioned the corporation counsel on whether the fees might not be paid out of the assessments on the city work re- lated to the title-searching labor. Attorney Pickett has established boundaries, sought property owners and cleared titles on much of the city's construction work over num- Der, of years.
 The $320 represents fees for this work since the first of the current year.
 Another matter which will engage the attention of the controller ill ensuing months is the probable collection" of fees from the salaries of various city officials who are anxious to join in the Waterbury hoSpitalization plan. Yesterday Superintendent of Parks James J. Curtin requested that the board de- wise a method whereby there can be collections from the pay of this de- partmental employees for a plan.
 Asked if he had been queried re- garding the deduction from pay checks to allow payment in lump sum for the disqualification arrange ment, the controller remarked:
 Not by the park department. Some of the teachers have been asking that this be done. It's a good thing but don't know how we are to handle 1t, exactly"
 Thus, with the teachers and war; ious other city employees looking for ways to join the plan whereby members are assured of a period of hospital care by small weekly premiums, the controller will confer with the corporation counsel to at tempt establishment of method by which the pay deductions can be ar- ranged.
