The most clairvoyant oracle of the fortune telling fraternity might find it difficult to predict the fu- ture of an intercollegiate boxing champion. Particularly If the champ graduated cum laude in boxing from Harvard.
 In fact, Don Terry, the six foot, three inches of he-manhood who plays a featured role in Columbia s "Who Killed Gail Preston?", now at the Loew Poli theater, didn't know himself whither he was head ed when he graduated.
 He thought he was on his way to Australia to do a little plain and fancy fighting for a rich amateur sportsman there. On his way to catch his boat, he stopped off in Hollywood.
 Charles Francis Coe was search ing for someone to play the lead in the screen adaptation of his Sat- urday Evening Post story, Me, Gangster." He spotted Don in a , cinema city cafe and immediately tagged him as "it". That was how Don became an actor.
 Don's family name is Loker. He was born in the Boston suburb of Natick on August 8. He prepped for Harvard at the exclusive Phil lips Andover Academy. At Harvard he went in for campus theatricals, taking part in several Nasty Pud- ding shows. Most of his spare time energies were, however, devoted to athletics. AS heavyweight boxing champion of the institution he won three intercollegiate tournaments and also found time to play base ball and football.
 Don's screen debut in Me, Gang ster" was so suspicious he seemed ticketed for speedy screen fame. However, he developed an acute attack of wanderlust and bid Hol- lywood what he thought was a permanent farewell. With F. w. Murnau, German film director, he sailed for the South Seas and en- joyed an adventurous interlude there aiding Murnau select location for his planned film "Tabu." A prospecting trip to New Zealand and an archaeological expedition to the Gobi desert followed, then Don returned to New York to take a flier on the theatrcial stages of Broadway.
 There he played featured parts in such productions as "The Front Page" Waiting For Lefty" Tide Rising" and etc. He impressed Col umbia talent scouts and was in- duced to resume his screen career. Sharing featured honors with him in Who Killed Gail Preston?" are Rita Hayworth and Wynn Cahoon.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram is "Rawhide" featuring Smith Ballew.
 Coming Saturday to Loew's Poli is "The Girl of The Golden Vest" co-starring for the fourth time. Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy.

George Fischer's Hollywood Brev- tiles, WATR this afternoon at 400, aired for the first time yesterday afternoon and last night Jimmy Parker, the station program direc- tor was informed by Samuel Elman, commercial manager, that sponsor is more than mildly interested in the classy show. A program has got to be good in radio to interest a would-be packer in its first cast Hollywood Brevities' speaks for it. self; dial it at 1190 today at 400, if you haven't as yet heard it.
 Programs to be broadcast from the studios of Waterbury's Own Station to basic outlets of the Con- necticut Broadcasting Sys tenn (WELI, New Haven, WNBC, New Britaim are Everyday Stories at 4:30 and Romeo Delfino's 'Pianol- ogy at 4:45. WATERS programs are now familiar to listeners in Hart ford, New Britain, New Haven and Bridgeport, thanks to the facilities of the ConnBS. Artists participat- ing in the programs eminating from here, now receive fan-mail from Connecticut's five largest cit- ies, not to mention the many mis- sives from the smaller colnmuni- ties.
 New worthwhile WATR vibrat- ings for this afternoon and eve- ming: Concert MaSter'-3:00, 'Paci- fife Paradise-4:15, Tin Pan Alley Goes To Hown'-5:15 and There Was A Time When'-6:30.
 A near-tragedy was narrowly averted in the studios of Water bury's Pioneer Station this morn- ing, when a starving bit of feminity was discovered in an inconspicuous corner of one of the spacious stu dios. The real station stowaway was discovered shortly after opening time at 7:30 and Judging from the pallor in her golden gills, the love- ly femme, which had been ruthless ly closeted in the station through out the night, was on the verge of death. Starvation was evident in her slow movements and shrinking extremeties; but thanks to a resus- citation act performed with the aid of box of fish food, procured from nearby pet shop, the newly christened "Gwendolyn"-the gold fish-is now coming (and going) around in her attractive bowl, well on her way to her normal, healthy golden state. However, the mystery of how "Gwendolyn" the goldfish slowed away in the WATR studios is still a controversial enigma.

Hollywood.-O location with the Spawn of the North:
 Paramount rented bathhouse and rocky stretch of shore at Bal boa and gave it's set builders exactly two weeks to turn the waterfront into a replica of Ketchikan, Alaska, as it appeared in 1908.
 In two weeks, the elaborate set has been built twice. The first time, supporting piles were not driven deeply enough, and most of the buildings fell into the sea. They're solid now, though. The weathered structures are in semi circular cluster extending out over the water, and they include a hotel stores, restaurants and houses. Be- fore some of the houses Indian to- tenn poles sheer down on the tugs and fishing craft and on the moored barge which lurcheS about with the busy camera crew.
 Busy Seals
 The story is about salmon pirates among the Ketchikan islands, and George Raft is one of the pirates. In one sequence, Raft pulls his boat out into the little harbor and sees his pet seal looking out of hotel window. The seal barks and jumps out of the window into the water, and Raft dives off his boat and swims. They meet and tussle play fully. Only trouble was that the seal wouldn't jump out of the win dow, end Raft can't swim.
 But the movies can do anything. The tussling scene will be filmed later in a shallow tank. And members of the crew spent half the morning pushing sea lions out of the hotel window, which was about 30 feet above the water One landed with an awkward splash. The next did a perfect swan dive, but the camera wasn't rolling. After three more shoves, using three other seals, they caught the scene and Director Henry Hathaway called lunch. Fish Skipping
 FIJI oOlllC 1CstsoOll, IOCdtlOll lllcdlo always seem to very good or very, very bad. This one was fine, but it was served by a Holly wood caterer and not by the Ketchikan restaurant. We had bean soup, steak, mashed potatoes, peas, coffee, pie. It was snack fit for northern locale, and from where we sat we couldn't see any palm trees.
 Hathaway hurried the company outside and set up to shoot the reunion of Raft with Dorothy Lamour. She plays the part of Nicky Duval, his French-Canadian gal friend and the proprietress of the hotel. Nicky is sore because Raft left without paying his bill, and because she suspects him of two-timing with gal in Nome.

Incidentally, this is one picture in which Miss Lamour does not wear sarong, and she feels ter ribly overdressed.
 They put the camera on the heaving barge, and Miss Lamour stood with hands behind her on the dock in front of her hotel. Don Hall, Rafts double, plunged into the appropriately cold water, swan to the ladder, shouted "Nicky!" and began to climb up. "I'll Nicky you!" retorted Miss Lamour, and batted him over the head with rubber salmon she had been holding behind her. Hall fell back into the water. "Cut!" yelled Hathaway. Let's do it once more. And Dorothy - hit him harder this time"
 So they did it again. Then the camera angle was changed for a closeup of Raft climbing the lad der. He had to appear in this one, and he didn't like getting wet and being socked with rub Der fish. After three takes. the director still insisted she wasn't hitting hard enough. "It can't hurt him." Hathaway insisted. "Clout me one and I'll show you"
 Miss Lamour hauled off and belted her boss with the rubber salmon. It was 8 swing that would have been good for three bases in any league. Hathaway staggered, shook his head and managed a grin. See" he said. "It didn't hurt"

TT WON'T be long now before the l Easter Rabbit is prowling around the corners of the backyard, tuck ing brightly colored eggs and bas- kets of candy into snug, concealed spots. Shortly we will be seeing the annual Spring fashion parade to church, and yellow jonquils will be holding in every breeze.
 April IT is Easter, and the ques- tion now is-haye you your cam era polished up and loaded, ready to memorialize that eventful day in pictures that you will treasure in later years?
 There are dozens of pictures that can be made on occasions like this, and each one has memory value. You probably need new snapshots of members of the family-and will they pose enthusiastically when they

Gladys Swartout and John BoleS kept capacity audiences at Warner Brothers State theater in 8 jovial mood yesterday during the opening performances of their new comedy hit, Romance In The Dark" which heads the outstanding program that may be seen and enjoyed by every member of the family today and tomorrow. John Barrymore is star- red opposite the pair.
 Just imagine Miss Swarthout in the role of a housemaid and mas querading as Persian princess in a desperate attempt to win muSi- cal fame and the man she loves.
 Every effort Miss Swarthout makes to interest Budapest's fav- orite singer, played by Boles, in her voice is doomed to failure until he sees in her good opportunity to di- vert the attentions of his manager, Barrymore, from Claire Dodd, whom they are both pursuing. Boles palms Miss Swarthout off as a Persian princess, and his rival immediately becomes intensely interested in the iady'S voice. He is so completely taken in that he gives her the lead in his new show.
 The story reaches a dramatic cli- max when newspaper columnist unmaSkS Miss Swartout as fake ill the middle of her opening perform ance. AS the audience is about to stop her show, Boles steps in and shows her that she means more to him than just a ruse and turns her defeat into success with his ever- popular singing.
 Excellent comedy performances by Fritz Field and Curt Bois help to make this film one of the best laugh treats produced in some time. You're sure to enjoy it, plan to attend before the closing per- formance Thursday night.
 Two noted radio stars make their appearances in Love On Toast" the other entertaining winner of the program. They are handsome John Payne, who has appeared on his own programs as well as guest star with Rudy Vallee and Fred Allen, and Katherine Sugar" Kane who was heard on the HammerStein Music Hall of the Air, Ben Bernies and other programs.
 Both turn in excellent perform ances. The romantic interest IS shared by Stella Ardler, New York stage beauty who makes her film debut in this picture.
 The States big parade of hits continues with two dandy shows, comprising the special Easter pro- gram which opens Friday. Her Jungle Love-, co-starring Dorothy Lamour and Ray Midland will be the headliner, while Little Miss Roughneck", starring Edith Fellows and Leo Carrillo will be the second smash hit.
