Japanese beetles following close on the heels of the excessive rains in Connecti- cut are ravaging shore communities, ac-
 cording to information in agricultural circles. The Japanese beetle is no respector of beauty. He strikes at both trees and lawns. Once it invades community its havoc is widespread We sincerely hope that the beetle may be sidetracked or curbed before it can pen citrate into central Connecticut the way 1t has attacked Bridgeport.

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New yOrk - we went to HOLY . wood with the naive belief that Samuel Goldwyn still maintained the title as chief assassin of the Kings English. Then we caught ur with Michael Curtiz, the director MT. Curtiz, or Mike as even the most menial knows him, is a new candi- date for that title now, even though he rebels at the idea. Or as he protests 1t, What are they trying to make from me, jingle bells? Why don't they write how I di- rect?"
 When we caught up with Mike Curtiz, he was sitting in a canvas chair staring gloomily into space. The scene had been taken. Fin ally, he spoke.
 Dose tings", he said and shook his head.
 The prop man knew what MT. Curtiz meant. So he removed "dose tings", chair, @ table and few odds and ends. And it was hamly," Mike continued to the actors who happened to be Jimmy Cagney and Pat OBrien. Very hamly. Why should you not be simple. Why should you not talk like peoples talk? One more rehearse and then we shoot, no?"
 Excitement Makes It Worse
 That is what we heard when we first caught up with Mike. But they tell tales about this cratic speech that put the Goldwyn legend to shame. Such as the time Mike sent an assistant to do something and when 1t was improperly done, re- marked. The next time I send a dumb so-and-so I send myself" Or about the time, when desiring a riderless horse to be brought on the set, he exclaimed, Bring me de empty horses"
 When excited, Mike Curtiz English becomes even more un. even and colorful. And because 1t Is a bit incoherent he panto- mines his desires and makes him. self understood as few director: can. During the filming of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" he wanted the border tribesmen tc fire volleys into the women, chil- dren. lancers, and sepoys in the water. He picked up the micro phone and using it as a gun, gave a graphic demonstration of what he wanted, and what he said was lost even to those close at hand because the microphone was no- where near his mouth.
 This was probably just as well and MT. Curtiz's instructions need- ed considerable translation. MT Curtiz' pantomime must have been good because the border tribesmen followed instructions to the letter and the scene was taken only once
 MT. Curtiz's claim to fame in Hollywood, however, has nothing tC do with his manner of speech, nor with the checkered shirts he wears sometimes, nor with the deep coat of tan on his face, nor with his rid ing boots that usually need polish ing, nor with the terrific amount ol energy expended during the making of picture. When 1t comes to hand ling action in the mass there is nc better director than MT. Curtiz Few men know as much about tenn DO as he does.
 Few men know how to use tricks to cover deficiencies in plot. actors or sets, as he does. In q sense, he is an opportunist. If ht goes on location and weather 1, bad, he changes the scene to suit the weather. He did this time and again on The Charge of the Light Brigade" and saved hi company a good deal of money.

 The attitude of the men was important They paraded In iron: of the jury with their arms around defendant Middle ton. They behaved Tn . way that made 1t clear they wanted their actions to speak for them. Those who saw the scene say that the fraternal attitude of Middleton with the son of the jurymen, plus the presence of Hall whe represented 7iddfe- ton, made 1t clear that any jurors who voted for acquittaI would be taken care of.

 The brilliant younger states man was permitting himself a slight exaggeration for emphasis. A factual census of his canine population reveals 6 total of eight.
 There have been more in the past, but time has taken its fatal toll. Among the fatalities was an English bulldog named Mooney, who weighed 68 pounds.

 There is his favorite Scotty named Tobey. brought back from . trip to England. And last but not least there Is Mrs. Welles' pet, cocker spaniel called-because of its reddish color-Rouge. This dog, too, first saw the light of day un- der the Union Jack.
 Welles' chief concern at the moment is to get all his foreign pets naturalized, and when that Is accomplished he intends to buy two huge English mastiffs. But they will present no citizenship problem. They are natives of America.

 O. What is the Levant?
 A. Levant is generic name for the eastern Mediterranean coast lands from Egypt to Greece, but particularly those of Asia Minor and Syria. The word is derived from the participal form of Latin 'levare," through French "lever," literally meaning rising and figuratively sum- rising, or the Orient. Strictly speaking, the Levant is the eastern shores of the Mediterranean or those countries washed by the east ern part of that sea and its con- tiguous waters; but occasionally it is applied to the entire East.

Instead of going straight to the

But thinking about those ducks
