GARDEN

The motion picture Ecstasy" which was banned by the U. s. Gov ernment and prevented from com- ing into the U. s. from Czechoslo- vakia, has finally been admitted The U. s. Customs has lifted its bars and permitted its entry and show ing of the film in this country.
 Owing to the fearlessness of the subject and it's presentation, the film has had hectic career throughout the entire world.
 Ecstasy so far has had a very successful career in America and starts Sunday at the New Garden theater.
 Ecstasy" was awarded the Inter- national prize at the film confer ence in Venice and created no little excitement when it was shown in Paris. It was equally successful in Berlin, but upon arriving in Amer ica, the federal government took exception to it and Federal Judge G. Knox ordered the print burned. The case was appealed and after seeing the picture Judge Learned Hand said: T may be wrong but I saw nothing in any sense immoral in the picture Ecstasy. The Mas sachusetts commission of public safety passed the photoplay after making a few minor eliminations which do not detract from the value and beauty of this Symphony of Emotions" as it has been called.

ollyWood-Picture titles are a great nuisance to almost everybody in Hollywood. Players usually are dissatisfied with them. Producers worry about them because a poor title can lose money for an excel lent picture. Writers dislike them because the names they suggest are seldom used.
 Advertising departments build campaign on a title, say Shanghai Fury" and are notified just before the preview that it has been chang ed to Love in a Penthouse"
 Practically all studio office work ers have to think about titles, be- cause the homogeneous send around synopses with requests for name suggestions.
 Henry Johnson, a writer at 2oth- Fox, is conscientious about re- spending to these cries for help Whatever the story, he always sends back the synopsis with this sugges- tiOn: "The Wounded Tennis Play er."
 George Middleton, another writ CT, suggest seither Birth of a Ma tion." "The Great Train Robbery" or East Lynne" A third writer, Gene Markey, believe, suggests "Hoof- beats and Heartbeats" for every picture. He's beginning to get dis

couraged.
 A studio often buys a title in the open market. The Stanwyck- -Tay- Tor picture went through eight name-changes during production. Then zanuck bought the movie rights to book called "This Is My Affair." He used that title, and threw away the story.
 Smart Guy!
 Irving Hoffman relays the inside story of how a certain Hollywood writer tripled his salary. The fel- low was working for a studio at $250 a week, but instead of collecting his check each Friday he asked the stu dio cashier to pay him monthly.
 With a 5000 check in his pocket, he schemed a chance" meeting with an executive of another con- pany. Then the writer began to dish out compliments, telling how much he admired this executives studio, its master minds and its pie lures.
 T get a thousand bucks with Super-Pix," he said, Tipping out his check as proof, but I'd be will ling to work for you for $25O less"
 He got the job.
 High Pressure Selling
 Dick Baldwin, soon to emerge as the romantic lead in Love and Hisses," recently was flattered by an invitation to the home of an im- portant movietown figure. And, having arrived there, he was all the more impressed by the discovery that he was the only guest.
 The dinner was so grandly for nal that Baldwin began to get un- easy, wondering whether his hosts might have confused him with some great man of the same name. But no-they had gone to the trouble of learning his tastes in wine and music. He likes symphonies, and after dinner there was an hour of his favorite recordings.
 And then, seemingly without em- barrassment to themselves, the host and hostess swung into the business of the evening. They tried to high pressure of the young actor into buying a $50,00O house!
 Love Your Neighbors
 Another way that houses are sold in Hollywood is by advertising the neighbors. A full-page advertise ment in movie trade paper offers a palatial new home in Holmby Hills: "PRICE-$85, ,OOO-NO CHS BLING"
 But billed above the features of the house itself-the rooms and bar. the earthquake and termite protec- tion, the electric Turkish bath and swimming pool-is a listing of neighbors: MISS CLAUDETTE COLBERT, MISS IRENE DUNNE, MISS RAQUEL TORRES, MIR. WALTER WANGER."

Romeo Tata Gives
 Excellent Concert
Former Waterburian Distinguishes Self in Presenta=
 ton of Works of Masters Delights

In his Handel. Mendelssohn and Bach presentations last night Romeo Tata, noted violinist, dis played the scope of his skill. This was MT. Tata's second concert in Waterbury within year. Last night he appeared in the Fine Arts Series sponsored by the Mattatuck Musical Art Society. Sharing honors with MT. Tata was Arnold Bullock at the piano, his contribution to the enjoyment of the program was highly appreciated. MT. Tata, who is formerly of this city, has sur- mounted the difficulties and in- tricacies of violin study, and plays with a sureness and precision. His capabilities are great as was evinced in his playing last night of the Bach Adagio and Fuga (un- accompanied. This was gigantic task, but one adroitly handled by the artist.
 Fine Performance
 The fine Mendelssohn Concerto in E-Minor was given an excellent performance by MT. Tata, perhaps the outstanding one on the pro- gram, it's beauty of form and melody. accentuated in MT. Tata's finished rendition. In this composition he distinguished himself by vigor and brilliance in the allegro motto ap- passionate movement, restraint and boise in the beautiful andante, and an altogether fine control in the final allegro motto vivace preceded by the allegretto, ma non troppo. In this concerto Arnold Bullock gave with MT. Tata a finished and pleasurable performance of very great violin and piano arrangement.
 In his Handel MT. Tata also dis played marked skill playing with fine sweep. This was the Sonata ln D major with its adagio-allegro and larghetto- allegro movements. Following his unaccompanled Bach' MT. Tata was recalled, playing Kreislers Preludium and Allegro.
 In the second half of his program MT. Tata played two request num- bers, one the not so familiar Bag atelle" by Scarlateseu, and Bou- langer's "Nocturn". Debussy's fan ciful and descriptive "Minstrels" also proved an harmonic conceit. and his last two pieces by Sarasate, "Malaguena' and "Habanera" added variety to his ambitious program. Two additional numbers were played at the conclusion of his program. They were "Rondino on Theme by Beethoven arranged by Kreisler, and Caprice Viennois" by Kreisler. At the present time MT. Tata is at the Arizona State Teachers Col lege.

'ROSALIE' BACK
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Sensational Musical Opens FOur=Day Engagement
 Tomorrow Afternoon

Hailed as "big," it is big, this 'Rosalie," which danced and sang its musical way New Years eve into the hearts of those who saw its local premiere at that time at the Loew Poli theater.
 So great has been the demand for a return engagement of this sem sational musical that the manage ment has secured this outstanding picture for a four day engagement starting tomorrow.
 Nelson Eddy and Eleanor Powell are teamed in this tuneful melange, which varies in locale between an Army Navy football game, West Point, transatlantic airplane, and the colorful mythical kingdom of "Romanza" The pairing of Eddy and Miss Powell is a brilliant feat. Not only do they dance and sing in the manner of stars of their magnitude, but as lovers they are decidedly in the top rank among romatic teams.
 Those who though they had seen "tops" in immense movie sets when ''The Great Ziegfeld" came to town, have something to think about when they see "Romanza," the tremendous white and silver kingdom presided over by Frank Morgan as a king with an eye for pretty girl and Edna May Oliver as a queen quite able to curb such tendencies. Mor- gan as ruler with ventriloquism as hobby strikes new high note in laugh-producing gags.
 Ray Bolger, he of the rubber legs, is really great as comedy relief, and, of course, splendid in his com- edy dancing specialties. Ilena Mas Sey is newcomer whom playgoers can well watch carefully. This beautiful European who makes her American debut as the second lead of the picture in the part of Coun- tess Brenda, confidaate to the Princess Rosalie, not only proves herself delightful comedienne, but singer of extraordinary range. Her Spring Love Is In the Air. is brilliantly done.
 In fact, all of the music of the piece is tuneful and finely created, as one might expect after seeing that all are credited to the highly competent Cole Porter.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is Quick Money" featuring the inilnitable Fred Stone, and Dorothy Moore.

STRAND TO OFFER
 NEW SHOW SUNDAY
Double Wedding" and "Hold Elm Navy" Ends
 Tomorrow Night

Performances today and tomorrow conclude the engagement of Double Wedding" and Hold 'Em Navy, current attractions at Warner Brothers Strand theater.
 Sundays new show will be head lined by the past years most suc- cessful color film, the first Techni- color sea story to reach the screen and titled "Ebb Tide. There has been no setting so far which shows itself so perfectly adapted to Tech nicolor photography as the South Seas locale of this story by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Os- bourne. The lush tropical vegeta- tion, the bright blue of Pacific skies, and the water shading of the South Pacific all needed to be filmed in color, and in "Ebb Tide" all their beauty is recorded to the best DOS sible advantage. The result is film of unique beauty.
 The cast of "Ebb Tide" is headed by Oscar Homolka, Frances Farmer, Ray Midland, Lloyd Nolan and Barry Fitzgerald.
 "Ebb Tide" tells the story of four strangely assorted lives that are en- tangled on little South Sea island as a result of a death outside the group; and are separated at last by violence and murder in forsaken trading post run by sadistic mad man.
 Homolka, a broken sea captain, Midland, an expatriate Englishman, and Fitzgerald, a conniving Cockney, all go aboard the schooner Golden State" when her captain dies at sea. Frances Farmer is the daughter of the dead captain, who is aboard the ship when Homolka decides to steal the boat and cargo. Midland pro- tests, but is over-ruled by his con- panions. The ship is almost lost in a storm before the quartet lands at a little island where Lloyd Nolan holds sway. Nolan attempts to keep Miss Farmer on the island, and kills Homolka and Fitzgerald when they attempt to rob him. Midland over- powers the maniac, and puts to sea again with Miss Farmer, planning to start a new life for the two of

five years, Wells Fargo" is a caval- cade of American greatness which it is everybody's business to see, whether he's looking for history, love story, comedy, thrills or in- spiration.
 The story is built around the ex- press business as founded by Wells and Fargo shortly after gold was discovered in California. Its hero is handsome Joel McCrea, trail-break- CT and man of vision. Its heroine is charming Frances Dee,- who marries the bold adventurer and then, un- able to understand him as his work carries him farther and farther away from her, finally leaves him.
 It's bold and beautiful romance in which the greatest part of a fam ily's life and fortunes are followed and which acts as leit motif to the grand symphony of the builders of empire. The cast is brilliant and does an excellent job Particularly noteworthy is the performance of Bob Burns. This gentleman, who has heretofore confined his talents to comedy of the "homespun" va riety, plays the role of scout and proves in the playing that he is a great artist. You're going to remem- Der Burns as the philosophical scout, for long, long time.
 Others in the brilliant cast are Lloyd Nash, Henry O'Neill, Mary Nash, Ralph Morgan, John Mack Brown, Porter Hall, Jack Clark Rob- ert Cummings and hundreds of others. It is one of the screens truly great pictures.
 The companion attraction is Night Club Scandal with the one and only John Barrymore as the amazing man about Manhattan who sets night club society af1ame with scandal, adds funfire to the blaze of Broadway lights. A picture throb- ping with the tempo of swing band music
