Some Wary BRIDES

3 Bureau of Fisheries recently
kicked against a GAO order fore
ing purchase Of shotgun shells
(for killing destructive animals)
from the War Department .
The bureau pointed out that only
short-range shells were procurable
from the War, Department and
that The destructive animals (pre-
datory birds preying on fish
hatcheries) had become "very
wary" and stayed "out of ordinary
gun-shot range" The birds, it
seems, grew so wise that they pay
no attention to the employees who
are working at the station as long
as the latter do not approach too
closely" =. GAO finally decided
that Fisheries could buy the neceS-
gSary ammunition in the open
market.

STRAND

The most talked d-about picture of the year, Irving Berlin's "Alexan- ders Ragtime Band" swings into the opening performances of its five-day engagement at the Warner Bros. Strand theater this afternoon as the headliner of the fine twin feature bill.
 Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, and Don Ameche head the glorious array of stars which appear throughout the film. Its powerful drama, glori- ous love story and emotional thrills measured by the tempo of the fla nous Irving Berlin's matchless melodies will stir emotional sensa- tions you will treasure forever.
 With Tyrone Power in the role of Berlin and Miss Faye playing the part of Stella Parish there is bound to be plenty of romance which com bined with 28 of the famous Berlin melodies makes this picture one that just can't be missed.
 Ethel Norman and Jack Haley head the impressive supporting cast which includes such favorites as Jean Hersholt, Helen Westley, John Carridine, Paul Hurst, Chick Chan dler and Q host of others.
 All in all here is @ picture which will recall many memories as 1t sweeps over three decades, the birth of jazz the shock of war, the mad ness of @ post-war world, radio, jam sessions, and down to the present day of swing.

On the regular sheet of 100 seals, which will be sold starting Thanks giving day, the four corner seals are drawings of these pioneers. These subjects are pr. Rene Laen- nee, who in 1879 evolved the prin- ciple of the stethoscope; pr. Robert Koch, who discovered the tubercule bacillus in 1882; Dr. Edward l.. Trudeau, who built the first pernsa- nent sanatoriurn in tEis country in 1885; and Finer Holboell, Danish postal clerk, who, back in 1904 thought of the idea of Christmas Seals as a method of raising funds to help people i'll with tuberculosis.
 Boy Mansfield
 The corner seals were drawn by I. Edward Mansfield of New York. MT. Mansfield has had wide expert- ence in the fine arts and has re- ceived many prizes for his sculp- ture, painting and designs of medals. He was graduated from the Penn sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Last year, he was the designer of the plaque of Emily P. Bissell, who started the first Christ mas Seal Sale in this country. This plaque is now at the Brandywine Sanatorium near Wilmington, Del.

If you haven't already seen this brilliant hit, we urge you to do so this evening, as it will be your last opportunity to see it in Waterbury for some time.

 We dare you to attend the man. moth horror show which Manager Ed. Fitzpatrick is presenting to Wa terbury theatergoers Wednesday evening. The screen program is headed by the two super shockers of the century, "Frankenstein" star ring Boris Karloff, and "Dracula" starring Bella Lugosi.
 Before going into the details of the stories concerning these two thrillers, the Management would like to make request: will all weak-nerved patrons please stay home? These blood -curdling mys- teries are only for those who can take 1t.
 Arch man-made fiends, life- breathing electrical machines, dang ling bodies, human skeletons, ghouls, and wicked hunchbacks all have their sinister places in the eerie and ghostly "Frankenstein. " Here is the most daring story in all literature--the eighteenth-century Mary Shelley tale of a man who created monster to which Univer- sal has added the ingredients of a superb cast, truly marvellous pho- tography, fascinating sets, and a heaping portion of some of the best direction since Griffith, and has duly presented the screen with its greatest filin-fantasy. There are many scenes in the film that will both literally and figuratively prompt you to clutch at your neigh bor's closest arm as the screen very nearly devours you, but there is one in particular that the most blase will never be able to resist. The ex- cited young Dr. Frankenstein, play ed brilliantly by Colin Olive, and his devilish little dwarf assistant, Dwight Frye, complete the last sur- gical operation on their homemade man. They dash to their shrieking electrical inventions and test the life-giving ray .. then |. . | But it is entirely too precious to give away! Of course you will see "Frankenstein", and anyone who takes the least bit of thrill away from 1t for you should most cer- tainly be relegated to the basement Adding moro hair-raising spine chilling thrills is Bella Lugosi in the second startling shocker, "Dracula." !"
 Tn addition to this great screen program, on the stage Wednesday evening, for one performance only, at g p. nl., Rosini- Huber and Com pany world-celebrated magicians will bring you chills and thrills ga- lore. If when the lights are lowered mid an unearthly glow, during this stage performance, ghosts and skel- etons appear don't get excited |. .. they may be just friendly spirits striving for a communication or with a message from the Great Beyond"

Ever study a railroad time ta- ble?
 We have been trying to do 1t since we were only a lad romping about the territory of the old Dub- lin street station of the now de- funct, Meriden, Waterbury and Conn. River railroad. Why, even. in those days, we had trains that took us to Meriden and way sta- tions at least a half dozen times a day. And the trains on the old Naugatuck division to New York and Winsted, and on the old New England to Hartford and Boston on one end, and Fishkill landing on the other were more numerous than we find at our beck and call these days.
 No One Care!
 The fall time table of the New Haven road has just been issued. And 1t is really sad spectacle so far as Waterbury is concerned. We know railroad travel is not as popular as it was before the ad- vent of the buses, and for this wU are really sorry. Travel byl trains is safe: you ride on self owned right of way, but the bus runs in @ state highway, on which numerous automobiles go back and fogth and the danger is much more greater, as we look at it.
 Just take Q look at the new schedule. One through train to New York City, the Winsted ex- press so-called at 8 o'clock in the morning. And then if you want to ride back, you can take the same train which leaves New York City at 4:10 p. m.
 Week days, your trains to Bridgeport and New York leave at these hours, to witt 6:56 a. m., 8 a. m, SPA a. in., 10:25 a. m, 1:53 p. nn., 4:42 p. m and $40 p. m.
 On Sat. night at $50 o'clock, you can get train to New York, also; then on other nights during the week, except Sunday, you can get a train leaving here at 9:l9, a mail train, and if you keep your head you might get into the Grand Gen. tral terminal at in the morning.
 But we do not advise you to take this train.
 Coming to Waterbury from New York, you can take trains due to leave the Grand central station at 2 a. m. 8:30 a. m, 11:10 a. m, 2
