 The picture is the long-awaited "Suez'', truly great film. In spec tacle, emotional experience and sheer entertainment 1t. is unsur- passed. It is said that theatergoers after viewing the offering will ap- plaud, cheer and whistle with such vehemence as if to rival the savage black simon that brings the story to a terrific climax.
 Tyrone Power is cast in the lead ing role and he gives thrilling real ism to the central character. Loret- ta Young and Annabella are starred opposite Power and it is said that they are strikingly appealing in the feminine leads.
 The story is of heroic propor- tions. It tells of the amazing Fer dinand de Lesseps, who dreamed of creating the short route to the east, sought vainly by Columbus and Ma gellan, by tearing continents apart and joining the Mediterranean with the Red sea. The great canal he built has become the juglar vein of the world.
 Out of choking sand, from the clutch of the raiding Bedouin, in the face of the terrifying Sahara simon with blood, tears and passionate Lesseps built his canal, driven by the love of two women to realize the dream men scoffed at.
 The huge supporting cast includes such favoriteS as J. Edward Brom- berg, Joseph Schildkraut, Henry Stephenson and many others of note.
 The c0-feature will be the rollick- ing comedy of youth Listen Darl- ing" co-starring Judy Garland and Freddie Bartholomew. Heading the supporting cast are Mary Astor and Walter Pidgeon.

STATE

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at the Warner Brothers technicolor epic Heart of the North" with Dick Foran and Gloria Dickson heading the cast; also the merry comedy ''The Mad Miss Manton" starring Barbara Stanwyck.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in another outstanding double hit pro- gram headlined by the top-notch comedy Hard to Get" which CO., stars a new team of romantic fun makers, Dick Powell and Olivia de Havilland.
 Preview critics describe it as about the tops of the 1888 movie crop as laugh-getter," and thea tergoers who view it before the clos ing performance Thursday evening will probably hail it as the funniest they have ever seen.
 Although Powell is the leading man, the picture isn't a musical one, in fact, 1t has only two songs You Must Have Ben a Beautiful Baby" and There's a Sunny Side to Every Situation" Of course, both songs are sung by Dick who plays the part of an ambitious and ag- gressive business man, who at the outset, is shown as the manager of a combined gas station and auto camp. Most of the interest as well as the farcial complications, arise from his efforts to interest some capitalists in his plan to establish a chain of auto camps across the country.
 Olivia is introduced in the film as 8 spoiled and petulant heiresS who buys gas and oil at Dicks place and then finds she is without a cent to pay for it. Whereupon Dick uses physical force to compel her to work out her bill by sweeping out and the beds in the bungalows of his auto camp.
 Both of the above mentioned stars have excellent and well-liked players in the supporting roles. It is to be noted that they're all ex- pert comedians. They include Char lie Winninger, the chunky gray haired comedian who did "Cap'n Andy" in Show Boat" and dozen other notable parts; Melville Coop 1 er, the dead-pan Britisher, Isa- bel Jeans, mistress of the art of portraying fluttery. jittery society women, Allen Jenkins, gangster; mugg extraordinary, and that de- lightful 15-year old brat, Bonita 
 And as the second big hit the management proudly presents one of the distinguished offerings of the season "A Man to Remember" star ring Anne Shirley, Edward Ellis, Lee Bowman and William Henry. Of particular importance is the fact that the picture is unpublished, tinheralded and unsung. Critics were the first to discover it's high entertainment appeal and as . re- suit of their comments over the air,

 RACE PREJUDICE
Local Negro Youth Council Sponsors Symposium at
 Pearl St. House

Members of the discussion panel were: Misses Cynthia Mott, Jane Nesbitt, Laura Skinner, Mary Johnson, Inez Alex ander, MessrS George Whitehead, Charles Rhineheart, Franklin Fish CT, all of Waterbury, Mrs. Thelma Baxter of AnSonia, Thomas McDuf- fife, Ansonia, Franklin R. McDew, New Britain. Groups of young peo- pie attended from neighboring towns. The discussion was based upon an article Principle vs Pre- judice," carried in Opportunity mag azine in October, 1888. It was writ ten by Mother G. c. Dammamm, principal of Manhattanville college of the Sacred Heart, New York city.
 It was developed by discussion, that race prejudices are acquired early in various ways, and that edu- cation and experience teach us that such prejudices are irrational and conflict with true ideals of religion and democracy. It was pointed out that American faces a new day in the broadening outlook of thinking groups, and the breaking down of artificial barriers. It was stated that a courageous application of funda- mental principles to such problems as renting homes to Negroes, em- ployment on a basis of fitness, and the granting of equal educational opportunities would solve such prob lems constructively for members of both racial groups.

BARONESS URGES
 CATHOLIC ACTION
Former Member of Rus= sian Nobility Attacks
 Communism in Address

A large audience listened intently to the story of many personal ex- periences of Baroness Catherine deHueck as described yesterday in a talk at the Sacred Heart school auditorium. The lecture was spon- Sored by the Children of Mary so- ciety of the parish.
 The baroness told of the horrors Of the Russian revolution during which many members of her imme- diate family were killed and she was forced to flee from the country in 1917. She pointed out that God and God alone was the only security one had in such a dilemma. During the revolution her family which possessed many of the worth while things of life lost all their possess SionS.
 Due to excessive hunger suffered in Russia when she was forced to seek food from the garbage .pails of Communists, the baroness said that her first impression of America was waste. Since her arrival in this coun- try, the baroness has worked dili- gently to combat communism in this country and in Canada by writing, featuring and organizing anti-com- munist groups.
 Her present line of endeavor is work among the Catholic negroes in Harlem and she stated that Cath olics should accept the negroes as associates because when they refuse they are turning against Christian ity. Negroes, according to the speak CT, make good neighbors and are -po- lite and clean although few people will accept them socially.
 As a means to an end she stated that the most needed thing in the world today is Catholic Action as a method of solving the problem of negroes and communism.

Make Decorative Match Box Cover
By NEA Service


 Nev York.-Co Conventional Christ mas cards have practical year round use in the home for those who wish to preserve the attractive designs and sentimental value of Yule greetings.
 Many persons just hate to con- sign some of the outstanding hol- iday greeting cards to the waste basket, even though they realize that saving them will only add to the clutter of the family desk.
 But the average Christmas greet ing can have 8 permanent place in the home. It can be usefully em- ployed to remove the unsightly ap- pearance. of those penny match boxes which seem always to find a way to the polished tops of favorite end tables.
 Use Cut-Out LIS"
 First step in converting the Christ mas cards into match boxes is to cut two large "L's" out of card- board. A convenient size is four and one-half inches on each leg of the 'L," and a half inch wide.
 The second step is to place the "L's" on the card design until a pleasing composition is seen through the frame thus formed. When the desired composition is obtained, the Christmas cards may be marked lightly with pen- cil around the inside of the frame. This outlined section is then cut out along the penciled lines with scissors or razor blade.
 After the design has been cut out, it is ready for putting on the box. Rubber cement is the neat est medium to use for sticking the picture to the match box. The kind
