 He scoffs at current predictions that the foreign market cannot be regained. American upland cotton, he says, is uniformly the best grade of cotton (of that particular var iety) in the world. By experience practice, soil and general conditions he says. America is better prepared to produce cotton than any other country.
 After lengthy consultations with other senators from cotton states, Senator Smith has drawn up a bill which he will try to drive through this session of Congress.

 Tomorrow the Strand brings tc its screen the screens most popular singing team, Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy, in their fifth ap- pearance together in the elaborate technicolor production Sweet hearts.

 In addition, he would fix cotton price adjustment payments so as to assure the cotton grower a price of around l2 cents a pound.

 is perfectly apparent when you look at the figures. During the last 10 years the arl- nual consumption of American cotton has run to approximately l2,500, ,000 bales, slightly more than half of which were taken by export trade.
 Last year the American cotton crop was l2,OOO,OOO bales. In ad- dition, when that crop was har- vested there existed a holdovcr of lS,500,000 bales from previous crops.
 There exists, therefore, just about twice as much American cotton as there is any prospect worse selling. To make matters worse the export trade is shrinking and the Department of Agriculture Is not at all hopeful about the chances of increasing American consumption of cotton. Hence Senator Smiths uneasiness is quite understandable.

 One of the most exciting, thrilling and suspense filling films to be shown on any screen is Alfred Hitchcock s "The Lady vanishes," which opens 8 three-day engagement at the Warner Bros. State theater this afternoon.
 The picture is currently giving sophisticated Broadway the greatest thrill of its life and is now in its sixth sensational week along the Great White Way" It has been unanimously hailed by the New York film critics as "The best di- rected picture of 1938."
 Director Hitchcock has never been surpassed in his handling of spy stories, and "The Lady Vanishes" is the best to come from him yet. A group of splendid actors, headed by Margaret Lockwood, Michael Red- grave, Paul Lukas and Dame May Whitty perform their individual characterizations with true acting ability. Michael Redgrave, as the romantic lead, makes an impressive screen debut, and we look forward to seeing much more of him. Mar garet Lockwood is also very appeal ing as the heroine. Paul Lukas is his usual suave self and Dame May Whitty isS as always, excellent.
 The story concerns itsedlf with a motley group of characters all pas sengers on a continental express train travelling through a Balkan country. There is Margaret Lock- wood, who is going home to London to be married; Michael Redgrave, a young expert on folk music who is gathering data for a book; Paul Lukas, a famous specialist; and Dame May Whitty, a harmless English governess, going home after many years of service abroad. There are couple on honeymoon, a pair of Englishmen to whom nothing is so important as cricket, and many others, some sinister, some innocent, but all superb. The little English governess vanishes into thin air and Margaret Lockwood, whom she has befriended, finds herself pucking a stone wall when she attempts to find her. Everyone on the train denies ever having seen the elderly lady and everyone has his own special reason for doing so. In her determination to find her friend. Margaret stirs up veritable hornets nest of scandal, nearly causes an international incl dent and prevents the two cricket minded gentlemen from getting to England in time to see the final-test matches. All of which makes for the most exciting hour-and-a-half you will spend in theater in ages.
 The supporting roles are beauti- fully handled, with special mention for Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne. The picture is recommends ed as enjoyable entertainment for the entire family and is definitely a "not-to-be-m missed" Plan to attend before the closing performances Thursday evening.
 On the same show is another in the exciting adventures of the popu- lar Nancy Drew series, Nancy Drew, Reporter" starring Bonita Granville in the title role and featuring John Litel in the supporting cast.

POLI'S


 Tomorrow night marks the Wa terbury debut of one of the most outstanding of Broadway musical shows. Once again Manager Ed Fitzpatrick of the popular Loew Poli theater, scoops the entertain ment world when he presents to another vast audience the following popular stars of radio stage.
 Heading this grand bill of enter tainers are "The Rockeys' known throughout the world for the won- derful and extraordinary feats on stilts. See them go through some of the most intricate steps in tap dancing the latest swing fashion. They'll tap their way right into your heart as they did to thousands in capacity filled houses in other cities and states. Next on the bill is Sid Raymond, one of the most able and brilliant master of ceremonies ever to be presented for your en- tertainment. Now comes the widely known "Demarco Sisters" You've heard them on the radio with such well-known orchestra leaders as Fred Waring and Paul Whiteman. Three sisters singing their way to the top are now brought here for your entertainment through the ef- forts of Manager Fitzpatrick. Fol- lowing in the grand march of enter tainment, come Rogers and Kent" known for their high-class manner of imparting to you side-splitting stories of their travels. Last but not least, come the Five Flashes" dancing and singing in modern style. For your further entertain ment we present this week as in the past dynamic fiddler, Gus Meyers, leading the Loew Poli the ater orchestra.
 The screen program is headed by Jesse James," This spectacular hit is held over till Thursday evening by the demand of thousands of Wa terbury thater-goers. This spectac- ular hit is one of the most colorful stories of an outlaw ever to thunder across the screen. The performance of Tyrone Power, as Jesse James, whose name struck terror where ever it was heard is certainly the most outstanding contribution of acting of the year. So perfectly does he portray the title role that after time you are completely convinced the famous outlaw is once more roaming the hills of the west. Other brilliant characterizations are presented by Henry Fonda in the role of Frank James, and Man. cy Kelly as Zerelda, Jesse's wife. Randolph Scott is splendid as Mar shall Wright and fine supporting cast do their bit to the last man.
 The second smash hit of this pro- gram is the much talked of Par don Our Nerve" Portraying the leads in this comedy hit are Mich ael Whalen and Lynn Bari.
