Converting the Attic

When attic space is converted for
living purposes, the arrangement OF
windows often does not give the
amount of light desired. Frequently
additional windows are not war
ranted, but the flaw may be rem
edied by skillful treatment of the
walls and ceiling. Shades that re.
fleet light should be employed ir
painting and papering under such
circumstances. The color used may
be accented by the use of brillian,
shades applied to doots and wood
work.

ROBERT TAYLOR
 IN NEW TRIUMPH
Scores Again in "The Crowd ROarS" at LOeW.
 POli Theater

A Movie" in the real sense of the word, so packed with motion and action that it keeps the audience on edge of it's seats throughout, is "The Crowd Roars," Robert Taylor's lat est stellar triumph, screening tomor- row at the Lowe Poli theater.
 And it is triumph for Taylor, for he provides the surprise of the year in his first prize-fight role, giving more action to the character of Tommy "Killer" Mccoy than prob- ably any other film player who ever essayed a fight part.
 Teamed with the star again is Maureen O'Sullivan, who once more shows herself the ideal romantic foil, sincere, appealing and forth right. And for competition there's her school chum, Jane Wyman, ad- mirable as the blond rival for Tay- lor's affections.
 If anyone could "steap the picture from Taylor, which is well-nigh i'm possible so completely does he score a knockout, it would be Frank Nor gan as his father, the absolute ex- vaudeville ham" As Brian Mccoy, Morgan is superb not only in his comedy that leaves em in the aisles," but in his dramatic delinea- tion of all the characters potential ities. It is an acting gem.
 Edward Arnold as the big-shot gambler who pulls the behind-the- arean strings; William Gargan in a memorable role as Johnny Martin, ex-light-heavyWelght champ, who is killed by his former pupil, Taylor, in comeback bout; Isabel Jewell portraying memorably, Gargan's wife; Lionel Stander, typical as Happy, Taylor's trainer; Nat Pendleton as Arnold's racketeering rival, and young Gene Reynolds, outstanding as Tommy Mccoy as a boy, vie so closely for supporting honors that a host of other charac- ter players can but follow in their footsteps.
 Throughout this blazing drama is woven strong and beautiful TO- nance, given full sway through the combination of the increasingly popular romantic team of Bob and Maureen O'Sullivan. Maureen, for the second time has captured the feminine lead opposite Taylor. The new teaming is the result of their fine work together in the recent hit "A Yank At Oxford"
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Jane Withers, Gloria Stu art, and Henry Wilcoxen, in Jane's best hit to date Keep Smiling" When the world starts kicking you around-keep smiling says Jane but don't forget to kick back! AND OH-H-H, WHAT A KICK YOU'LL GET OUT OF HER!

CHARLIE MCCARTHY
 ''WOWS" FEM AGAIN
Shares State Theater's At- traction With Edgar Ber-
 gen, Adolph Menjou

The new movie season is now in full swing at Waterbury's only air conditioned motion picture theater, the Warner Bros. State, and con- tinues with the second of the new seasons hits "A Letter of Introduc- tion" starring Adolphy Menjou' Charlie Mccarthy, Edgar Bergen. Andrea Leeds, George Murphy and last but not least Bergens new dummy Mortimer Snerd.
 This film is said to begin a new era in screen entertainment. It has a living story, drama that reaches close to the heart and many exciting events which you'll follow with tiptoe eagerness.
 It is indeed a master stroke pro- duction, one that will give the the ater-going public the most thrilling theater experience of their lives.
 Many new gags of the Bergen Mccarthy type are introduced in the film. And incidentally this high class comedy may be enjoyed in the cool comfort of scientific air conditioning.
 The most important part of the picture in the introduction of Ber- gems new dummy, Mortimer Snerd. Mortimer is just the opposite of lady,s man Charlie Mccarthy. He is bashful, has rural drawl and because of his inferior complex hides beneath Bergin's coat tails half the time.
 Bergen, Mccarthy and the new Mortimer practically steal the show. The constant squabbling be- tween Mccarthy and Mortimer, due to the fact that Charlie doesn't like the idea of anyone stealing his stuff" provides one of the most comical sequences of the film.
 Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds and George Murphy also perform splendidly in their respective parts.
 So the story goes of a young girl eager for career in the theater who goes to New York with let ter of introduction to the much married star of the stage and screen John Mannering.
 One exciting event follows an- other with the climax being reach ed when Kay Martin, Andrea Leeds, marries Barry Paige great danc-

was one of three which circled the
boat several times, coming closer
each time" said Selig. THE other
two whales dove about the same
time, barely missing the Viola"

ON ANNIVERSARY
Several Chinese Killed and
Wounded in Numerous
"Terror" Scenes

SHANGHAI, Aug. ID. - Wide
spread disorders here marked the
anniversary of the japanese occu-
patton of this Oriental metropolis.
Incidents largely occurred in the
international Settlement despite
augmented patrols.
Settlement authorities charged
that the Japanese Army provoked
the incidents in an attempt to ex-
tend authority over the Information
al Settlement.
A grave situation arose when
clash occurred involving the United
States Marines when Gunnery Ser
geant Milton Marvin came upon
three Japanese brandishing pistols
in a U. S. Marine defense force au-
tomobile
The belligerent Nippon soldiers
refused to disarm or put down their
guns until other Marines with auto
matte rifles arrived, then the Japs
quickly did as commanded, very
alertly
Japanese army and navy officials
disclaimed any connection with the
incident, but American authorities
pointed out the three Orientals were
occupying an automobile with de-
tense force license plates available
only to armed forces enjoying priv
ileges of the International Settle
ment.
All three offending japanese were
jailed in the Settlement guard sta
ton, giving the encounter serious
aspects.
In other incidents about ShangS
hal, three Chinese were killed and
II injured, as patrols of Japanese
soldiers fired random shots at DEM
onstrating Chinese crowds. Observ-
ers termed the roaming Nippon
soldiery as terror squads"
