Pleased with the efforts of her

done it now any other way for

watch their development. Some
that thought wouldn't be so good,
turned out much better; and the
opposite was also true. It shows
that tryouts and snap judgments
can't always be right. You have
to get them into the play and the
part to really know what they can
do. 1t makes you wonder how
many others you've made mistakes
in.

fact that twenty members of class
Of seventy were used, she pointed to
the rarity of such things in any
given class. Although it happened
in "Penrod," when eighteen were
used, she pointed out it was the
same class for that portrayal.
Proof of the pudding in having
two casts was strangely evident to
Fridays playgoers. When Henry

Willard Rasmussen, who had play

day. With a hasty makeup and
without the knowledge of others in
the cast, Rasmussen carried on in
the first act performance. Start

last act. 1t is odd too that the
Uncle George characters should
have sickness intervening. In the

POLES

Thanks to the direction, the won- derful photography, the superb technicolor and the excellent per- formances of stars and cast. Daryl F. zanuck's production of Drums Along the Mohawk" is one of the most entertaining pictures yet to reach Waterbury. It opened yes- terday at the Loew Poli theater where the audience thrilled to the scenes of realistic action which flashed across the screen.
 Nothing in the movies quite com pares to an action film well-done and this picture surpasses anything done in this field. The romantic adventurous days when America was young, with torch and toma- hawk spreading their terror in the beautiful Mohawk Valley, are de- picted with a zest that makes the film a rare treat.
 Claudette Colbert and Henry Fonda are starred as a pioneer couple who with the other colonists of the valley make a desperate stand against the repeated attacks of the fierece Iroquois. Featured in the cast are Edna May Oliver, Ed die Collins, John Carradine, Doris Bowdon, Jessie Ralph, Arthur Shields, Robert Lowery and Roger Imhof.
 The screen play is based on the best selling novel by Walter D. Ed monds, an author who is steeped ir the stories and traditions of New York's beautiful valley.
 Drums Along the Mohawk" is the screen at its best, portraying what 1t does best-action. And action is what you will need to see 1t for the crowds are already headed in the direction of Loew's poli theater.
 The second big hit on the pro- gram present one of Americas favorite families, the Jones Family in their latest comedy riot, "Too Busy to Work" Seen in the film are all your established favorites including Jed Prouty, Spring By ington, George Ernest, Kenneth Howell, and a new addition in the person of comedienne Joan Davis.
