BY PAUL HARRISON "A Service Staff COrreSDOndenj

INEA SeTVlce SLaII correspondent
 Hollywood-CharleS Judels, the man who has the most foreign speaking roles on the screen, actual ly knows only two languages-Eng- fish and Holland Dutch. And he never has used Dutch!
 Among the studios there is con- Stant demand for Judels to appear in French, Italian, Spanish, Ger man, Swedish Russian and Jewish roles, but the lines he is supposed to speak in those languages are pure gibberish-a sort of interna- tional double-talk.
 His accents and expressions and gestures are so typical of the nationality represented that mo- body knows the difference.
 It all started about 25 years ago when Judels was selling sheet mu- sic in New York. Every day he would dine in Figalo'S, a restaurant on 39th street patronized by the chorus men of the Metropolitan Opera Company. The singers al- ways divided into racial groups and spoke their native language. Judels, who happened to be natural mimic, would sit and study them. He noticed the predominant sounds of each language, and the manner of delivery. Also he picked up a few words such as greetings and fare wells.
 So now, when talking with a cast ing director about a part, the lan-

RACKET FARCED
 IN STATE FILM
Gangsterism Ridiculed in "A Slight Case of Mur=
 der Opening Today

Edward G. Robinson, star of many gangster pictures, is back to thrill audiences once more with the pres entation of his latest hit "A Slight Case of Murder" a farce film that makes fun of the whole business of gangSterism and racketeering, which heads the outstanding double hit bill opening four day engagement at Warner Brothers State theater starting today and ending Monday night. |
 Curiously, the star of this farce is the same man who first establish ed the gangster-racketeer as a fam iliar screen figure-Edward G. Rob- inson, who years ago was the men, acing Little Caesar" and who car ried on through various underworld pictures right down to Bullets or Ballots" and the recent Kid Gala had" and "The Last Gangster."
 There are ShootingS in "A Slight Case of Murder" of course. In fact, four gangsters of various degrees of wickedness bite the dust But the killings are so ludicrous that they bring laughs instead of gasps.
 The picture is an adaptation of the successful stage play of the same name by Damon Runyon and Howard Lindsay, and their char acters" of the nether-W world are all ways funny, whether they're play ing the races or being rubbed out

guage required is always the first one he learned. His latest role, with Olympe Bradna and Gene Raymond in Stolen Heaven" is that of an Austrian innkeeper. Shortly before that he was Swede in You're Only Young Once" In The Great ziegfeld" and Cafe Metropole," he portrayed Frenchmen.
 His Own French
 Naturally, when rattling off lot of unrelated sounds which are sup posed to sound like words, Judels sometimes runs out of things to say. So to avoid tCo much repetition he begins naming objects as they meet his eye, but these are pronounced so strangely that they really aren't words at all.
 For an example, while we were having coffee in restaurant near Paramount, Judels indicated a cur tain and cup and saucer as things which might suggest sounds to him.
 Then, with gestures and ex-
 pressions of animation on his pudgy face. he proceeded to
 speak French: "VoOla la COOR-
 TONete a vawa alor le COOPec-
 rong SOOZEERong."
 A couple of years ago Judels ap- piled for the role of a Hollander in a picture. But the director had heard that he really couldn't speak any foreign language, and he be- came angry when Judels went into his song-and-dance about Dutch be-

ing the first language he'd ever learned.
 It happened that the director had a friend from the Netherlands vis- iting the studio that day, and the fellow was brought around to eX- pose the actor.
 The two immediately struck up conversation in Dutch and learn ed they had mutual friends in Am sterdam. The director was so chagrined that he wouldn't give 'Judels the part.
 His Italian Not of Italy
 In New York, at one of the gam bols of the Lambs Club, of which the actor is a life member, group of Italian opera singers were fur nShing the entertainment. The singers spoke almost no English, so they were told that an Italian speaking member of the club would express the organizations thanks. JudelS then launched into a floWery address in Italo-gibberiSh and was politely applauded.
 ODFAouoly, IllouSIl, CIlc guests were greatly perplexed. One of the more articulate ones said that MT. Judels seemed like very fine fellow and good Italian, but that he must come from Sicily or some other little is- land because they hadn't understood a word of what he said.
 His Bankers" Language
 Sometimes he has been hired to stage some elaborate ribs. He was sent to Cleveland to appear at convention of bankers where he was introduced as celebrated French accent, Judels then proceeded to pan the American banking situa- tion, the system in general and the ethics of it's practitioners. The at mosphere was just about at the boiling point when Judels was halt ed and his identity revealed.
 They were afraid some of the bankers might have a stroke.

town girl, in the person of the love- ly Miss Leeds to keep him posted. He falls in love with the girl, who in turn falls in love with a young tenor who runs a hamburger stand. The young man, played by silver" voiced Kenny Baker, gets his big film chance and proves a sensation. Menjou menaces their romance for a while, but finally relents and agrees to let young love triumph as it should.
 Woven into the story are countless unforgettable production numbers, including two beautiful pallets, which prove a welcome addition to screen entertainment.
 The technicolor is the most suc- cessful the screen has produced thus far and does full credit to Omar Kiam's eye-filling costumes and Richard Days magnificent sets.
 Among the many hit tunes intro duced by the film are Love Walked h. T Was Doing All Right" T Love to Rhyme" Love Is Here To Stay" and Spring Again."
 All in all, "The Goldwyn Follies" is the most sumptuous, most breath taking and most magnificent enter tainment the screen has produced. The production is released through United Artists.

DEER INCREASING
 IN CONNECTICUT
Herds Becoming Problem for State Officials; Law
 Affords Protection

Hartford, March 3-Connecticut's prolific herds of deer are becoming problem for the state board of fisheries and game.
 Although the state has had no open season on deer since the past century, 349 of the animals were killed last year, the board an- nounced today.
 Eighty-six deer were killed in col liSionS with automobiles. Twenty one died in other accidents, five were struck by railroad trains, 19 succumbed to attacks by dogs, 26 deer found injured were destroyed and the same number were found dead from unknown causes, 39 were killed illegally.
 Rural landowners, however, ac- counted for the largest number of deer, according to the board. Farm CTS reported shooting a total of 127 deer on their lands to protect prop erty.
 Tt is probable that many more deer were killed to protect crops than were reported" Oliver B. Els worth, chairman of the board, de- clared. This is believed due to a misapprehenSion that such carcasses are subject to confiscation by the state.
 Farmers using shotguns or who have obtained special permits to use rifles are legally entitled to any deer shot on their own lands under the property protection clause of the state deer law. Such venison, how ever, may not be sold" Commis- Sioner Ellsworth pointed out, in urging rural landowners to report all deer kills.
 Litchfield county led all other counties in the number of deer killed the past year with 108. Other coun- ty deer kills reported are: New Ha- ven 21; New London 43; Fairfield 43; Windham 39; Hartford 24; Mid dleSeX 30, and Holland 41.

NEW TECHNICOLOR
 SHOW RATED HIGH
"The GOIdwyn FOllies" Opens at LOew's POli
 Tomorrow Afternoon

Never before has filmdom pro- duced an entertainment feast to equal the eye-filling, heart-gladden- ing, rib-t tickling musical extrava- ganza which Samuel GoidWyn has achieved in his great technicolor show The GoldWyn FollieS," which will have Loew Poli theater fans up on their feet and cheering in the course of it's sensational premiere here tomorrow.
 For this most ambitious venture of his career, the producer, whose name is a synonym for great en- tertainment, has rounded up one of the greatest stars of stage, screen. radio, grand opera and the dance world, fitted them into one of Ben Hecht's grandest stories, and added the last and greatest music of the late George GershWin. The Gold Wyn Follies" more tran justifies the terrific investment of money, time and effort involved and does great credit to"the name which the pro- ducer has lent to an entertainment for the first time in his 25 years of picture making. The film is hiStor- ical in another sense, in that 1t marks GoldWyn's swing over to color films.
 From the radio world, GoldWyn has recreated Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mccarthy, Kenny Baker, who is already known to screen audiences, and the irrepressible comic, Phil Baker and his accor- dion. From the screen came the suave Adolphe Menjou, those mad, merry Ritz Brotht-s, who have nev- CT been funnier, Andrea Leads, the lovely young actress who scored so heavily in Stage Door; and Jerome CoWan. From grand opera, he has brought US the Metropolitan operas lovely star, Helen Jepson, and the talented new conner, Charles Kull- man, both of WiDm make a tri- umphant screen debut. From the world of the dance we have the gorgeous Zerina, who proves talent ed as an actress as well as dancer, and George Balanchine'S famous American ballet. From musical com edy comes frantically funny Bobby Clark, who finds a perfect foil for his peculiar brand of madness in little Ella Logan. Then, of course, there is the usual dazzling aggrega- tion of gorgeous GoldWyn Girls, sup plemented by dozen of Hollywood's loveliest and most talented tap dancers.
 The story, mad, romance-tilled comedy of Hollywood, tells of movie producer, played by Menjou, who finds he doesn't know what the public wants. So he hires small
