In The Local
 TheaterS
STATE


 Four Daughters" and Packet Busters, two of the $25O,OO0 Movie Quiz contest pictures, move into the first day of their three day hold over engagement at the Warner Brothers State theaser this after noon.
 This hold-over engagement Is an occasion in itself for 1t marks the fifth consecutive week in which the ater-goers of this vicinity have crowded and damned this theater of hits, thereby leaviNg no other al- formative for Manager Julia Smith than to hold over these shows so that everybody might have an op- portunity of seeing them. And what hits they were, it all started back in August with the presentation of Letter of Introduction" and it has continued ever since. The States parade of hits is just starting. Week after week and month after month they will march grandly in and out of Waterbury leaving behind them a wildly excited theater going pulp lie, who think of nothing else but what the next show at the State will be.
 -Four Daughters the headliner of the current program is Q picture which everyone in this city or vi- cinity should see. It is really and truly one of the unforgettable pie lures which come only once in a lifetime.
 It has one of the most impressive casts ever assembled Sor any pie ture. Priscilla Lane, Jeffry Lynn and John Garfield are newcomers to the screen, but after their per- formances in this picture they will rise to the loftiest heights of star dom. Two other sisters of the Lane family, Lola and Rosemary; and Claude Rains, Dick Foran, May Robson, Gale Page and Frank Mo- Hugh also score heavily because of their splendid characterizations.
 All in all here is a picture which should be seen by young and old before it leaves the State Thursday evening. It will give you the most enjoyment you've ever had in any theater. Plan to attend the mat inees.
 The second grand hit Racket Busters" is one which will have you sitting on the edge of your seat dur ing its entire screening. Humphrey Bogart, George Brent, Gloria Dick son and Allen Jenkins head the giant cast of this film which tells the exciting story of racketeers in big city. All the facts used in its making are true, having been taken from the actual court records of New York City.
 Many theatergoers are participat- ing in the $250, ,00O Movie Quiz con- test which is now well under way at the State. Both of the current attractions are included in list of contest pictures and are an import ant part of this contest. Movie Quiz booklets may be obtained at this theater by anyone who wishes to enter this contest. Over five thou sand cash awards. It's not too late to start, plan to do so today and above all make the State your Movie Quiz headquarters.
 The next big hit program which comes Friday to the State will be headlined by "Sing You Sinners starring Bing Crosby, Fred Mac Murray and 8 host of other favor ties. On the same program will be Campus Confessions" starring Bet ty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, Will liam Henry and Hank" Luisette eX- Stanford basketeer and All-Amer- ican basketball star.

Pities NelU HaUer Road!
Study of Time Schedule Starts "Train of Mem ories" Back Over Trail of Yeteryears-Wa- terbury's Service Occasions Comments From Old Timer.
n., 4:lO p. m s:O2 p m. and 3

p. m, 4:1o p. m e:02 p m, and 8 p m.
 The only through train, however is the one leaving at 4:t0 p. m., and the only through train down the road is at 8 o'clock in the morning.
 Sal Spectacle
 Now, there was @ time in Water bury, when general opposition would spring up and action would be taken against such schedule. But those days are over. No one seems to care these days whether trains run into Waterbury or not. Ask policeman or fireman what time the next train will leave for New York, and he will frankly tell you he doesn't know. There is no reason why he should know. Few of the printed schedules are to be found, and none are ever turned over to the police or fire depts.
 In the days of long ago we al- ways had a policeman on duty at the station when each and every train pulled out. But none is ever observed at the o'clock in the morning bound for New York. Very often in olden days forgotten mes- sages were relayed by way of the policeman. This was true of the time when the elderly Charley Dean held forth at the old Nauga- tuck station, and later when the late and beloved Maurice F. Noonan and Tom Cronan were on duty at the old and new stations. Policeman Noonan, however, was an exceptional officer; he knew hundreds of people who made him a confident in many of their af- fairs. My, but how he could scat ter a crowd at ball game, or at any other place of assembly. We have scanned the ranks for his equal, but we do not quite seem to find one like him. He and the late John Cavanaugh, with the soldierly Lieut.. John Bergin in the lead, would break up a gang dbOuv ao WCA do dAly bAAO VI PO@ licemen we ever noticed, here or elsewhere.
 Poor New Haven Road
 But we were talking about rail- road time tables, the incoming and departure of trains.
 The poor old New Haven rail- road.
 She clings to the last forever hopeful for success in the end.
 Yet, her executives, it appears, seem to forget that Waterbury needs more through service to New York. Waiting in Bridgeport, af- ter such a ride to that city. an- noys many of us, and makes us uneasy.
 Still our love is for the railroad.
 We 6eslike to complain, because we really think it is doing the best possible with its limited means.
