lows: Tt (the opinion) won't affect the Hurley report We have Fairfield county grand jury inves- tigation which, if reports are true. is likely to cost the state about $l00,000. We have the information that Gov. Cross who has heretofore been unwilling to request MT. Mac donald to answer the charges in the Hurley report, has at last made de- mand upon Comsr. Macdonald that such an answer be made.
 The outlook is promising, for MT. Macdonald's answer to MT. Hurley's blast must be forthcoming. It will surely be interesting. We are to have the results of the grand jury investigation, and there will be either eXoneration of Comsr. Mac donald, so far as violation of the criminal law is concerned, or a true bill be returned against him.
 Mills Of The Gods
 "The mills of the gods grind slowly. Let us withhold judgment of Comsr. Macdonald whose person. al and political integrity, over long period of years, had not been questioned prior to the Hurley bar rage. Let us withhold judgment with respect to the action of MT. Hurley in making all these charges against Comsr. Macdonald for he is a new and untried man in public office. Both Macdonald and Hur- ley are on trial in the great and potent forum of public opinion in Connecticut"

He played the Bach concerto in F minor. With the ensemble MT. Richner also played caprice by Saint-Saens. Re- spending to an encore he played, without the strings, Chipon's Etude in F major. MT.

4 are adults" observes Ada
Broadbent, film dance director, in a
warning to parents to keep dancing
daughters away from Hollywood. Miss
Broadbent, who recently had charge
of dance routines in Paramount's
Thrill of a Lifetime" declared:
Small children, half-grown boys
and girls are registering with Holly
wood agencies which promise screen
work, with countless schools through
out the United States, not all of
which are on the level, and at casting
offices as well.
"Doting parents, aroused by the
success of Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers,
Eleanor Powell, F'eanore Whitney,
are bringing their children, mostly
their daughters, to Hollywood in the
hope that the kids may get a footing
and climb to the pinnacle reached by
the big four of tapping.
These parents don't pause to think
Of the years Of training and labor
which have gone into preparing the
big stars for their positions. Because
some of their little girls have learned
to tap they think Hollywood is their
oyster. Result: Bitter disappointment,
or place in chorus at best
Thrill of Lifetime is the fourth
big musical production in which
Eleanore Whitney has appeared. But
she wasn't thinking of tap dancing
when she began to study under a
master of ballet. She had acquired all
her grace, poise and sense of rhythm
in the ballet and classical school. How
many youngsters in Hollywood beating
their hands against studio gates can
look back on such preparatory
career?
Another great fault of parents who
take their youngsters to Hollywood is
that they permit the kids to initiate.
Once they begin to copy routines and
mannerisms of the stars they're
through. IT girl or boy hasn't
something remarkable about her or
him in looks, personality or back
ground, well-my advice is to stay
at home"
