STATE

Attractions to be seen for the last times today at Warner Bros. State theater include Gold D'ggers in Paris" starring Rudy Vallee and Rosemary Lane; also When Were You Born" with Anna May Wong and Margareg Lindsay.
 Spotlighting the new show open ing tomorrow at the State for 8 three day stay is Wives Under Suspicion"
 The film is one of the timely va riety as it closely parallels a num- Der of murder trials which have aroused nation wide interest in the past few years.
 Warren William and Gail Patrick head the all star cast. William is cast as relentless district attorney who has become nearly inhuman in his driving efforts to obtain con- victions. Gail Patrick portrays the part of hs wife whose love slowly turns to hate.
 Hsghlighting the film is a chain of circumstances which suddenly places the merciless prosecutor in the same position as the man whc is on trial for killing his wife.
 Others in the cast are William Lundigan and Constance Moore who furnsh the juvenile love inter- est; Ralph Morgan who portrays the gentle visionary who kills his wife in a fit of blind jealous rage and then narrowly escapes the gal lows; Samuel s. Kinds, Cecil Cun- ningham and others.
 The second smash hit of the pro- gram is Air Devils" starring Larry Blake, Dick Purcell and Beryl Wal. lace.

Count of the votes in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST today finds Anthony (Tony) Borrelli, IS monthes old son of MT. and Mrs. Salvatore Borrelli of IA Cherry street, out in front with lead of almost 10000 votes.
 Tony has a grand total today as of 8:45 o'clock this morning of 136,- 600 votes and feels fine about it.
 You can't tell me that boy doesn't get places when he starts to go," Tony remarked as he fin- ished breakfast. "Of course, when two men get together in an affair like Joe Louis and Max Schmeling are going to have Wednesday night, that's something else again. It's harder to pick winner between two men. But when man like me enters a contest of mixed groups, girls and boys, why, there's nothing to it!"
 Peggy Lemere Second
 All of which is pretty free translation of what Tony was try ing to get across. Tony meant that he has outdstanced Margaret (Peggy) Lemere, his most dangerous contender, by $500 votes today.
 Of course, Peggy Lemere, the lovely daughter of MT. and Mrs. Albert Lemere of 265 South Main street is not out of the CONTEST by any manner of means. Although only short time more remains for the balloting, Peggy still has an excellent chance to win the first prize and maybe, just maybe, Tony is wee bilt over-confident. May Be Surprise
 You see, the CONTEST MANA GER hasn't heard from the Lemere supporters since last Friday and it might very well be that they have been working out of Waterbury to obtain the subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT that count as votes, 200 votes for every subscription. Many a time during the CONTEST we've not heard from Peggy's father who is managing" the campaign, for days at a time and then he'd appear with 50 to 100 subscriptions and turn the standings all topsy- turvy if Peggy wasn't already lead- ing.
 Peggy Lemere has made an ex- cellent showing in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST and the CONTEST MANAGER has had lots of telephone calls from resi- dents of Waterbury and vicinity who are anxious to see Peggy continue high up in the CONTEST as it goes into the final phase. Peggy has been in the lead a good part of the CONTEST before Tony Borrelli be- came especially active.
 Randall Saunders Third

SUMMER
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Summer is icumen in
 This week will see it begin.
 More and more will be seen on each pan A bit of sunburn, bit of tan. From now on must be bright and happy, Carefree, casual, light-hearted, sappy, Forgetting that the world is awful As on picnics we pack down a jawful. Summer Is coming, summer is coming, Scarf covered heads most unbecoming! Boys and girls take to the nearest beaches, Cherries are ripe, soon it will be peaches. Time to think of coffee iced, Frosted drinks, pineapple diced, The old man tells how many strokes hole The little woman recklessly losses salad in bowl In the good old summer time The old church on the hill has merrier chime. Bobolinks bob and whippoorwills whip, The whole darn family takes Sunday for dip. Unsettled Europe is still in the news, But young folks are concerned with other blues Summer is icumen in,"
 This week will see 1t begin.
