NOTED CONDUCTOR
 IS WPA UNIT GUEST
Paul Stassevitch Opens Bushnell Park Season
 Wednesday Night

Paul Stassevitch, noted New York conductor, will be guest conductor with the Hartford Symphony Or chestra when that unit of the WPA Federal Music Project opens the Bushnell Park Music Shell season on Wednesday evening, June p, in Hartford.
 Last summer these open air sym phonic concerts attracted audiences numbering thousands, and the sched- ule planned for this season, it is anticipated, will continue to draw music lovers from points over the state.
 The program planned for the opening concert which begin at 8:3O o'clock will offer Weber's overture to Der Freischutz"; the Brahms Symphony No. in F Major, Opus 90; Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre";; Slavonic Dances of Dvorak; a Strauss waltz, and Polovetzian Dances from Alexander Borodin'S Opera, Prince Igor".
 The Brahms Symphony chosen for this opening concert is noted espe- cially for the thrilling theme which leaps from the orchestra at the onset, a theme of fury which is developed as the symphony pro- gresses until at the end it is heard lin terms of sunset splendod.' Ro- mantle in nature, this symphony offers a variety of rhythm, and is considered by many, one of the com poser's most appealing works.
 Paul Stassevitch has won acclaim in this country and on the continent for his musicianly interpretations. Trained by the famous Leopold Auer he is a violinist and pianist as well "as a convincing conductor whose dynamic personality achieves a whole-souled response from his orchestra"
 Admission to these weekly We'd nesday evening concerts at the Music Shell in Bushnell Park is free, with chairs available at a nominal fee, and a supply of park benches available without charge through the courtesy of the Park Department.

Mouie Tough Guys Sister Knouus That He Is Only
 Putting On q Good Act
By BETTY JANE FERGUSON

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 New York-Jeanne Cagney, very attractive sister of James Cagney, the hard-boiled hero of the screen, doesn't mind the tough, rowdy parts he plays because she watches him from professional standpoint. T realize that his screen manners and tough way of speaking are not part of Jimmy, but of the actor," said Miss Cagney.
 Miss Cagney, who is 19, has just been elected Phi Beta Kappa at Hunter College where she graduat- ed on June 18th. Born and raised in New York, she went to Hunter Col lege High school. She majored in French and German and speaks both f1uently.
 Aside from the plays she has ap- peared in at college, attending the theatre, and watching brother Jim- my emote, dramatics have played only a small part in her life.
 Asked if she expected to go on the stage or enter the movies, Miss Cagney smiled, T have never thought much about it, and when I've been with Jimmy we have never mentioned the possibility of my ap- bearing on the screen"
 She is very proud of all her brothers. Jimmy is the best known, but another brother, Bill is a thea trical agent on the West Coast. Two other brothers, Harry and Ed ward, practice medicine here.
 Prefers Individuality In Men
 Miss Cagney hasn't any definite ideas about the type of men she prefers, but she did say, I think it is much more important to be an individual, and interesting, than it is to set out to be certain type. That applies to both men and wom- men," she continued. If all girls were soft and feminine, life wouldn't be very interesting"
 She says that she is not engaged, but she is not very talkative on the subject of men or romance. She did admit that her brothers never escorted her to dances. But, she is so attractive that the fraternal neg lect never made much difference.
 Miss Cagney loves the theater and goes whenever she has a chance. She has no favorite actor or actress, because she says, T am interested in watching them all work"
 1T have no particular hobbies" she continued. "In the summer I swim and play tennis, but not too well"
 Miss Cagney doesn't feel that it is a handicap being the sister of a famous man, but she does admit that people react differently when

 IN STRAND DRAMA
"Four Men Ahd A Prayer" Opens Three Days En-
 gagement Sunday

Current attractions to be enjoyed today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand theater include: Doctor Rhythm" starring Bing Crosby with Andy Devine, Mary Carlisle and Beatrice Lillie, also bulldog Drummond's Peril" with John Howard John Barrymore and Louise Campbell heading the cast
 One of the most exciting and amazing pictures ever filmed will flash across the screen of Warner Bros. Strand theater Sunday with the presentation of -Four Men and Prayer" as the headliner of the excellent twin feature program scheduled for three day stay.
 Loretta Young heads the featured cast, with Richard Greene, Sensa- tional new star discovery in the male romantic lead, while the many vet erans sharing honors in the stellar supporting cast include George Sanders, David Niven, c. Aubrey Smith and J. Edward Brombery, William Henry, John Carradine, Alan Hale, Reginald Denny, Bar ton Churchill and Barry Fitzgerald.
 The theme is an inspiring de- parture from the usual movie af- lection. Four stalwart young men, with grand old soldier-father, are bound by gallant pledge to rove the world to avenge his dis honor and death.
 That great love pervades the en- tire story. Yet the shimmering beauty of Loretta Young and her love for one of the brothers, Rich ard Greene is a joy to behold.
 Greene, however, along with George Sanders, David Niven and William Henry are the four men who forsake everything in their careers to track down around the world, the menace which cashiered their beloved father, c. Augrey Smith, out of the army in disgrace and then brought death to a great soldier.
 Miss Young gives a flawless per- formance as the American girl who covers her intense loyalty to the brothers cause with an "Amerl- can" flippancy which amazes her British sweetheart most of all, but more than anything puts spirit and vigor into the grim quest.
 In cast of 5000, encompassing the characters of 21 nations of the world, this picture has ben as- sembled with all the sweep and grandeur of the book by David

HETEROGENEOUS
 AT LOEW'S POLL.
Taylor, Tone and Young Starred In Story of Eu=
 ropean War Days

It was abrupt and unreal when the Armistice brought quiet on the western front in 1918. Now Now, years later, when the dogs of war are again paying ever Europe, comes motion picture based on the im- pressive novel by Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades" which opens tomorrow at the Loew Poli theater for a four-day run.
 The three comrades are Robert Taylor, Franchot Tone and Robert Young. The woman in hte narra- tive is portrayed by Margaret Sul- livan who provides the beauty of a doomed romance with Taylor.
 Frank Borzage, one of Hollywood's most artistic directors, has drawn from Remarque's touching story all the flavor of tragic love and strong drama. The picture brings Robert Taylor to the screen for the first time since he starred in "A Yank at Oxford" in England.
 Although the Remarque story is placed against the background of the turbulant days succeeding the world conflict in Europe, it is pri- marily the drama of the devout love between a man and woman. Taylor brings an increased acting power to his role of Erich, youngest Of three comrades, who returns from the front embittered and disillusion- ed to find new hope in his love for Patricia, stirringly enacted by Miss Sullivan.
 Tone has his best part in years as Roster, who sacrifices his one love, racing car, in order to raise the funds for Patricia's operation. Robert Young also scores 1n a memorable part as Lenz, the com- rade who becomes embroiled in a political demonstration and is kill ed.
 "Three Comrades" is the story they said Hollywood would never dare to make, but tomorrow the LoeW Poli theater presents 1t to you with four of the top-fight stars of the cinema, in the seasons most outstanding dramatic achievement.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Francis Lederer and Fran ces Drake, in a stroy of daring intrigue, and thrilling action, "The Lone Wolf in Paris"
 Attend the Loew Poli theater every Wednesday evening an enjoy Broad way vaudeville at it's best. In ad- dition to these headline stage pres entations there is always the reg ular screen bill of twin hits.
