for the most treasured theater ex- perience of your life, don't fail to see 1t. Plan to attend the opening performances tomorrow afternoon.
 Based on Wilson Collisions popu- lar magazine story, the film probes hilariously into the private lives of Mel and Joan, a couple of wide-eyed sleuths with penchant for getting into all kinds of trouble. Mel, it seems, is a detective-and so is Joan, of the private agency variety. When Mel Is assigned to 8 murder in which Joan is representing the accused-the fun, already well started, really goes to town.
 In the supporting cast are Mary Astor, Frances Drake, Robert Paige, Jerome Cowan and Thurston Hall.
 The second smash hit of the pro- gram is Reckless Living" with an all-favorite cast including Robert Wilcox, Nan Grey, Jimmie Savo, Frank Jenks and William Lundigan.

STRAND

"Merrily We Live" with Constance Bennett, of Topper" fame, and Brian Aherne co-starred, kept local movie-goers in continuous spasm of laughter at Warner Brothers cozy, clean and comfortable Strand theater yesterday, the opening day of its four day engagement.
 In this new comedy Miss Bennett gives further evidence of marked ability as comedienne, in fact turning in better performance than in Topper" of only a few months ago.
 She interprets the role of the pet- ted darling of the Kilbourne house. hold with commendable skill, mak- ing the debutante both amusing in her wise-cracking and tempestuous outbursts and appealing in her search for romance. Aherne is ex- cellently cast as the mysterious ho- Do who appears one morning at the KilbourneS' door and later becomes their chauffeur and more startling, their dinner guest. He plays the TO- mantle scenes with excellent re- Straint and abandons himself in the mirth-provoking sequences to de- gree of comedy that fans have hith- erto unsuspected.
 Delightful, too. are the scenes in which Billie Burke appears. Her role, that of an absent-minded phi- lanthropist whose mission is to re- habilitate hoboes, is almost tailor made for Miss Burke's comedy tal- ents. Alan Nowbray. Patsy Kelly and Bonita Granville are others who keep mirth in the foreground and the plot moving briskly with their antics. Others in the outstanding cast are Ann Dvorak, Tom Brown, Marjorie Rambeau, Clarence Kolb and Phillip Reed.
 The companion hit is "Of Human Hearts" starring Walter Huston, James Stewart, Beulah Bondi, Guy Kibbee, John Carradine and many others.

POL.I'S

Hollywood has made -Four Men and Prayer"
 And the transition of this popu- lar story, read by millions in book 1osm or magazine serial, promises to provide number of surprises when 1t reaches the screen.
 Of primary interest, comes the report that the film has not devi- ated from the original plot.
 So when citizens of Waterbury visdt the Loew Poli theater during tho scheduled run of -Four Men and a Prayer" which opens Satur- day they will find that this pro- duction has passed up all the ultra saccharine clinches of the love mo- tiff for the noblest of he man in- stincts-the unswerving faith of four sons in their fathers honor.
 Beautiful gay Loretta Young in practically the only feminine role, is the girl whose love for one of the brothers serves as shining beacon through clouds of intrigue and even distrust of her.
 Her romantic interest is for Rich ard Greene, which means that Loew Poli theater patrons will have their first glimpse of the sensa- tional new British star discovery.
 On the same program is another big hit, Judge Hardy's Children" featuring Lewis Stone, Mickey Rooney, Cecilia Parker, Fay Holden and the rest of the Judge Hardy Family" This is the sequel to You're Only Young Once" and the third of this popular series.
 Comedy highlights of their new film include the Big Apple" epi- sode, the new tuxedo sequence, as Mickey appears in his first dinner jacket, and the comical quarrels between Cecelia and Mickey as

This will mean delay and the repairing work will add to the cost in wages by the WPA, 1t is reported.
 Reservoirs Overflowing
 The citys reservoirs, both Wig wam and Morris have been over flowing their spillways since July IS according to Frank J. Cassin, super intengdent of water but this is not unusual, he said, and the condition obtained in June. He estimated that the rainfall in the locality of the reservoirs was less than that in Waterbury.
 Predictions for tonight and to- morrow are for cloudy weather but the weather prophets have not men, tioned rain in their forecast for the next 36 hours.

light of political enterprise. But, he said, 1t seemed beside the point whether the sheriffs' association had consideration of this aspect of the matter i1asmuch as the general pub- lie, he believes, is interested only "in whether they get their moneys worth"
 The sheriff's statement follows:
 Whether the National Women's
 track and field meet 10 be held Sunday, August 2, at the new municipal stadium a. Waterbury under the auspices of the New Haven County Sheriffs' Associa- tion, Is being conducted for political purposes or not is beside the point in my opinion. What the general public is interested in B whether they are going to get their dollars worth by watching these national women track stars ru naugmented by the big vaude- vile show in the evening.
 However, at this time am deeply grateful for the free ad- vertising this article has given the meet. Just how this national track meet can be used to help me politically B beyond my hum ble conception unless there is the general assumption that the money taken in is being used as a campaign fund.
 If that assumption B being taken, I would like to put the public right in that respect. Only as late as July 10, 1t was an- nounced in the Waterbury press that every cent taken in over and above the actual cost of promot- ing the field day would be used to further extending the First Of- fenders' Crime Prevention Club
 Every cent taken in to promote this field day has been kept in separate field day account" in the bank and has in no way been mixed with my own funds or those of the New Haven County Sher- ifs Association. Those who may believe I am going to attempt to use the First Offender Club for political purposes feel will be disillusioned this Tuesday night If they will listen to my weekly radio broadcast at 10 D. m. when l in- tend to voluntarily withdraw this program from the air until after election so that I cannot be &C., cused of using the trust which these boys and girls have imposed in me for political purposes.
 Poor Patronage Here
 The article in the Waterbury newspaper referred to the thou sands Of dollars worth of tickets sold a great part in Waterbury and vicinity" To this, officials of the association replied today that Waterbury has been the poorest" city in the sale of tickets and that there has been no particular amount of support for the project here.
 So far as the field is concerned, officials remarked that the muni- cipal stadium originally was in- tended as one WPA project, later was developed into additional pro- jects, which made the difference in the originally estimated price and the $300,000 outlined as the com- bined cost, $2l5,000 governmental, $72.000 by the city.
 In the matter Of the First Of- lenders club, which June 18th drew more than 5000 Waterbury children to the local outing at Hamilton park. more than 5000 last year, Sheriff Slavin expressed re- morse overs the Involvement of this association of children into the po- litical attack offered by sundry in connection with his candidacy for reelection.

City Escapes Serious Damage In RecOrd-Breaking DOwnpOur of Rain

Washouts, flooded cellars and general anathema by week-enderS and vacationists seeped through to Waterbury today in reports from all sections of New England of the re- suits of the seven day deluge which by ofhcial predictions and the ape pearance of the sun here this morn- ing, appeared at an end today.
 Projects Delayed
 Waterbury escaped serious dam age in all particulars, streets, acci- dents due to flooded streets, cellars rising like tides with the added precipitation. Thus, the reports from the Connecticut Light x Power company, the street and wa ter departments, contractors en- gagged on state, WPA and local construction. Tn the last respect however, work has been delayed al least a week on such jobs as the South Main street paving work by the state, Baldwin street, and the large number Of PWA projects.
 Outside the city, however, there were numerous washouts reported Water flowed over the flood bridge at Southbury and unwary motorists made enforced stops to dry of their distributors. At Bantam Lake road water up to the hub-caps created similar traffic disruption.
 8.22-A Record!
 The total of precipitation for the month, up to yesterday noon, was S.22 inches, almost three times az much as the average for most months of July in the past dozen years, according to the official gauge of City Plumbing Inspector James R. Walker, quoted. on occasion, by The Waterbury American. Inc heaviest rainfall of the week oc- cured on Saturday when more than 2 inches fell.
