powerful stories of the century,
opens with a gala midnight show
on Wednesday evening, Novem-
Der %, at Loew's Capitol Thea
ter and opens on THANKSGIVING
Day for its regular weeks run
ct 1oew's Palace.
Robert Donat, who starred in
THE 80 Steps" and THE Ghost
Goes West" has the principal
role IN the picture, that of young
DR.. Manson, who starts his
career in the most impoverished
district of England, the Welsh
mining township of Blaenelly.
Here he meets a young school
teacher, Christine Barlow, played
by Rosalind Russell, and here,
too, he begins his long fight for
improvement in medical treat
ment.
His closest associate is Philip
Denny, played by Ralph Rich
ardSon, who Is a brilliant sur
geon, self-exiled to the bleak dis
trict In order to forget his wife'S
tnfidelity. 1t is Denny who gets
Manson better-paying post in a
nearby town so that he can
marry Christine. Manson con-
tinueS his fight to improve sick
miners lot, but is thwarted on
all sides by inefficiency and
mediocrity. At last he obtains
some nationwide recognition
through thesis he has written.
He and Christine move to
London, where he buys a med
tcal practice with his small saw
1ngs, and builds it up through
catering to fashionable West
End patients, giving needless
operations and worthless medi-
cine. His wife is dismayed at
the turn in his character and
his forsaking of his ideals, de-
spite the fact that he can give
her all that money can buy. At
last a bungled operation on his
old friend Denny brings him to
his senses and Manson sells out
his lucrative practice.
With a group of clever young
doctors, he attempts something
entirely new to established med
tcal practice. The General
Medical Council of England
tries him for unethical tactics
and he finds himself fighting
for his career.

cast of The Citadel" which
has more than 100 speaking
parts, are Emlyn Williams and

sented at the Little Theater. be-
ginning Sunday, in a one-week
revival engagement.
In the supporting cast of the
screen hit are George Bancroft,
Lionel Stander, Douglass Dunn
brille, Ruth Dcnnelly Walter
Catlett, Raymond Walburn and
H. B. Warner, and the script is

half of the directing writing
team that so often has produced
a great picture.
This story of Small-town
boy who inheritS a fortune and
the girl reporter who falls in love
with the man she is assigned
to trail ranks as one of the out
standing examples of pleasantly
insane motion picture entertain
ment. Among the many scenes
at which audiences will enjoy
laughing again are those pre-
senting Gary Cooper at the
lunacy hearing and lanky Gary
putting a tuba.
Although the players are
well-acquainted With comedy
acting technique many of the
most amusing moments in mfr.
Deeds Goes to Town" would be
somewhat less hilarious were 1t

has brought to Frank Capra the
distinction of being the first
American director to receive

NEARLY every one has had the ex-
perience Of walking through a
woods and hearing a bird sing nearby
yet not knowing just whence the
sound comes This is because birds
are natural ventriloquists and have
the power to diffuse their voices" so
expertly that it is almost impossible to
locate them. The reason for this is
simple; birds actually sing from the
lower end of the trachea, or windpipe.
and the effect is muted sound that
seems to come from a distance OF
all the birds, the chickadee is prob
ably the best ventriloquist.

Cashin's Observing
 First Anniversary
Well=Known Dairy Firm Fecitated on Success of Past Year-Double Anniversary For Energetic President

Congratulations are in order for Harry X. Cashin who is observing a two-fold anniversary. He is re ceiving felicitations on the first anniversary of Cashin's Dairy, Inc, of which he is president and treasurer and also on the occa- sion of his 25th year in the milk and dairy business in Waterbury.
 No other business has enjoyed such phenominal success as Cashin's dairy. Founded year ago, its progress was immediate and steady and today it's fleet of trucks brings Cashin's products to all discriminating families. It is purely a Waterbury concern, employing only Waterbury help, and it bids fair to being one of the largest concerns of it's kind in the state.
 Perhaps no one in Waterbury has larger personal following than Mir Cashin and his name is a household word, having been iden- tified with the milk and dairy business for many years.
 It was at the insistence of his legion of friends that he en- parked in his own enterprise a year'ago. Public confidence in him and his products spelled success from the start. Surrounding him. self with an organization, care fully trained in the milk and dairy business, he has in short space of time established his company on an equal footing with others of years standing. In every trad ing center today Cashin's milk, ice cream and other quality pro- ducts can be found.
 Serving a public with eXacting care, MT. Cashin's march of pro- gress is most noticeable and ev- eryone joins him and his personnel today in cutting the birthday cake. A steady stream of congratula- tions is flowing in, wishing him continued progress.
 The company's officers are in the Brown building, Exchange place and telephone call, 3-1175 gives you immediate service, day or night. Everybody is Swinging
