 Arrangements have just been completed by Manager Ed Fitzpat- rick with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer for special pre-release of this picture, which will not be seen generally un- til 1899 is well under way.
 To make it more inviting, and so that arrangements can be made in advance by patrons, seats will be re- served and are now on sale at the theater box office. For telephone reservations, phone 3-7632.

PLAZA THEATER
 OPENS TOMORROW
Manager Nick Mascoli to Offer First Show Sun=
 day at 5 P. M.

New lights will twinkle on Wa terbury's Broadway tomorrow night, accompanying the formal opening of Waterbury's new theater, "The Plaza" at 164 East Main street.
 Manager Nick Mascoli, already popularly known as the operator of the Carroll theater, will personally welcome the premiere crowd tomor- row night at 5 o'clock-the time set for the start of the Iirst show. Start ing of on the first day of new year, Manager MaScoi has equipped his new theater with the very latest and most modern effects, including new comfortable seats, new sound, new projection and new marquee.
 The new marquee, bearing clock, is an innovation to Waterbury and was planned by MT. Mascoli with a consciousness of the public conven- fence.
 The double-feature bill which has been arranged for the premiere of ''The Plaza" is typical of the high class run of pictures which will be presented throughout the year. Garden of the Moon," featuring Pat OBrien, John Payne, Margaret Lindsay and Jimmie Fidler; and MT. Doodle Kicks Off," with jovial Joe Penner, will comprise the opening show.
 Popular prices will ever prevail at The Plaza, and programs will be changed four times weekly-Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
 Manager Mascoli will be ever-pres- ent at The Plaza, and Miss Phyllis Renna will take over the managerial reins of the Carroll.

Paging MT. Bane! Radio Officials, Fans Want More Infor- nation on 193S's Outstanding
 Personal
 ities.

Radio announcers, commenta- tors, orchestra leaders, actors and others have joined forces with a number of radio fans in an effort to learn who is one Joseph Bane, who has been presented to the public as secretary of the Con- necticut League for Improvement of Radio. His address was given as New Haven, but he remains a stranger in his own home town as far as interested oficials have been able to ascertain. The league is a myth as far as other inves- tigators are concerned and the orchids it showered upon well known radio personalities" are "phonies."
 So unless someone can find MT. Bane and establish the status of the Connecticut League for the. Improvement of Radio, the irn- pression will grow that someone pulled an Orson Welles on the radio, as well as the reading pub- lie.
 The league cited the outstand- ing radio station of the state for public service" proclaimed the best announcer, the best actor, the best commentator, etc. Among the laurels distributed were those to Station WHIT of the Hartford Times for outstanding service during the hurricane and flood excitement; Guy Hedland of WTIC as the best actor, Edward Ryan of Station WATR as the outstanding" political commen- tator, E. Christy Erk of Station VERY as the second best news commentator, etc.
 Some of the outstanding per- sonalities" took bows on the an- nouncementS. Some took them seriously. Some took them with . smile. Others suspected a hoax. The first publication of the hon. ors appeared in a Hartford paper, later Waterbury and in other communities, but the question re- mains, "Who is MT. Bane? Who, What and Where is the Connecti- cut League for the Improvement of Radio?" Unless someone steps forward and claims credit or re- sponsibility of the statewide poll" will not be recorded by radio editors as an oficial sum- mary of 193S's outstanding events or personalities. And won't some faces be red!

 {. Reminded Japan that in the past situations such as that which has arisen in China were settled through consultation.
 5. Asserted the readiness of the United States to join in an interna- tional conference to consider the Chinese problem.
 Grew delivered the note Renzo Sawada, vice foreign minister, in the absence of Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita, who had left town for a New Year holiday.
 Peace Urged
 As Grew visited the foreign office, Japanese newspapers were display ing the sensational news that form CT Premier Wang of China, in a statement issued through his agents in Hong Kong, had urged pecae negotiations with Japan.
 The same newspapers published New Year statements in which For eign Minister Arita said that Japan was going to end the idea that the Orient was a colony for Occidental capitalistic countries and Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai, navy minister said it was imperative that Japan insure command of the western Pa cific.
 Arita, in his statement, said some powers presented unreasonable re. quests concerning China without regard to actual conditions, ano that it was necessary to correct their misunderstanding. Yonai said that powers which aid- ed the Chinese were urnfriendly to- ward Japan and that they were ap- parently planning to interfere with Japan's constructive" plans in China, possibly even by armed in- tervention.
 Cabinet Changes It was embarrassing for the gov- ernment, too, that the United States note came during a series of cabinet conferences concerning China and the prospective reorganization of the ministry-a reorganization as part of which Prince Fumimaro Konoye may reliquinsh the prime ministry.
 As regards the peace move which Wang's statement disclosed, Jap anese were inclined to regard it as the first step toward much de- sired settlement. The next move was uncertain. Ofacials expressed be- lief that the authority of General issimo Chiang, the Chinese leader was crumbling-but 1t was evident that they intended to proceed cau- tiously in any peace moves.

terday.
He lapsed into unconsciousness early
today, and his family and physician
said then his condition was critical.
He died at 5:45 pm.
Mr.. Dufheld held throughout his
insurance career that many obligations
devolved upon an insurance company
other than the financial protection
which it afforded its policyholders. .
In such an organization, with mil
lions Of dollars intrusted to its keep
ing and with large force Of field
representatives. he saw opportunities
for real service in the interest OF the
American family and the country's
institutions. These opportunities he
: regarded in the nature Of obligations.
Mr.. Duffield conceived those ideas
while filling subordinate executive po-
sitions with the Prudential Co., and
when he became president of the COM
pany he put them into effect. He sue
ceeded to the presidency in 1922, when
Forrest F. Dryden retired, at a time
when every section of the country was
concerned with the problem of short
age of houses.
Aided Homes Move.
Convinced that the most conspicu-
Gus service his company could render
at the time would be to lend its hnan-
cial strength to the movement for
better homes, he directed that surplus
funds of the company be placed at
the disposal Of city and suburban
dwellers IN need Of homes, and farm
ers feeling the pinch of adversity.
BY 1925 the Prudential Co. had in
vested approximately 100000, 900 in
that form Of loans.
Mr.. Duffield was born at Princeton.
N. j., March 3. 1871. the son of Prof
John Thomas Duffield and Sarah

from Princeton University in 1892 and
three years later received his master
OF arts degree. Meanwhile he took

gree from the New York Law School
in 1894.
In April, 1897. Mr.. Dufield married
Miss Josephine Reade Curtis of Troy,
N. Y. They had two children. Mrs.
Dufield died in 1914, and two years
later. Mr.. DufIield married Miss Bar
bara Freeman Of South Orange, N. J..

Committee on Credentials of the Re-
publican National Convention in 1920.
He was delegate at large and
chairman Of the New Jersey delega-
ton to the Republican convention at
Cleveland in 1895.
A lineal descendant of Jonathan
