SCREEN MONSTER
 SHOWS AT STATE
The Cat and the Canary Headlines Double Bill
 Beginning Sunday

All sorts of ghastly and ghostly goings on, spooky spoofing and sin- ister skulldruggery as well as chuc- kle and laughs are on the program at Warmers State theater when "The Cat and the Canary" opens its three day engagement at that the- ater Sunday afternoon.
 Thrills, the kind that leave you breathless, are promised by "The Cat" a new screen monster who 1t is said makes Dracula and Frank enstein look like song and dance team. the chuckles, guffaws and hearty laughs will be provided by Bob Hope, outstanding radio com- edian who hopes gags as good as a gun when he meets "The Cat" face to face.
 Bob Is starred in the leading role and he is provided with some of the funniest material he has ever had Sharing honors with him is none other than lovely Paulette Goddard and featured in the supporting cast is a host of players admirably suit- ed to the alternately gay and chill inspiring moods of the picture. Among them are such favorites as John Beal, Douglas Montgomery, Gale Sondergaard and Elizabeth Patterson.
 Tn addition to the talents of Hope and Miss Goddard who are involved in the romantic as well as the eerie doings, the picture has much to recommend 1t. It is based on the famous stage play of the same name, the play which almost scared hardboiled critics out of their
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-01

seats when it was presented on Broadway not so many years ago. And, of course, there is "The Cat" fearsome creature which intirni- dates the whole cast, even the wise- cracking Hope.
 The chills and fun get under way when seven people come to a man. sion in the Louisiana bayous to hear the will of the deceased owner, All but one of them are potential heirs. When Paulette Goddard be- comes the heiress, she is immediately menaced by 8 hairy, murderous cree ature called "The Cat" Following in quick succession are the dimming of lights, whining noises, the tolling of seven mysterious bells and the announcement by the housekeeper that one of them must die before morning and it's all Bob can do, his courage bolstered by his very best gags, to save lovely Paulette from the clutches of "The Cat.
 The further adventures of "Blon- die, the comic strip favorite will be depicted in the latest of the hilar- ious series, Blonde Brings Up Ba- by" the second big attraction of the program. Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake share starring honors.
 Attractions concluding their en- gagement tomorrow evening at the State include "The Amazing Mir. Williams" co-starring Melvyn Doug- las and Joan Blondell: also Jean Hersholt in Meet Dr. Christian"
 Silver Dollar Jack Post Quiz con- tinues to be regular Monday night feature at the State with thousands of patrons attending this big event every week Next weeks jackpot will be seventy-five dollars with, of course, many more silver dollars for those who answer the "profes- sor's" questions correctly.

Truji||o Interview
Finds Aides Doinq
Most Of Talking
General Only Laughs
At Inquiry About
Third Term

A Caribbean general who Is gen.
orally held a dictator conducted a
press conference on Sixteenth street
! this morning. He was so surround
ed by aides eager to talk for him
that he could hardly get a word in
edgewise, whether he wanted to or
not. And then there was little time
The Dominican Legation had urged
neWspapermen to be present at 10
am. to interrogate Gen. Rafael
Leonidas Trujillo, the former Presi-
dent and the continuing authority
of the West Indian Dominican Re-
public. But it was 1888 am. before
the general was ready to answer
questions.
During the seven minutes of the
conference the general, who is Wis
iting this country for the first time
in his 40 years of life, made one pos
tive remark, and he offered it in
true Castillian rhetoric, heavy with
flowers. What did he think of Wash
ington? was the question. The gen.
eral spoke in Spanish and his inter-
prefer translated:
"All the poets in the world should
move to Washington so that they
could get real inspiration
Silent on Third Term.
Another reporter read aloud from
a biographical sketch supplied by the
public relations counsel which the
Dominican government has retained
to publicize the generals American
trip. The sketch stated:
Served as President two terms
1930-1938). Refused to serve third
term, following United States prece-
dent"
The correspondent asked:
Would you advise that President
Roosevelt follow your precedent?"
The general laughed. The confer
ence was over. The visitor was hur-
ried off to the State Department to
see Secretary Hull.
But a few minutes after 10, IA
correspondents were gathered on
the second floor of the Dominican
Legation, at 2633 Sixteenth street
NV. Minister Pastoriza, members
OF his staff and George Djamgaroff
of New York, the public relations
counsel, were present to greet the
press.
Has Picture Taken.
At 1926 am. the general appeared
He was dressed in gray suit. His
dark skin was sleek. He smiled at
the newspaper men, who filed into
the legations library. Correspond
ents reached for pencils, but it was
not yet their turn. First the gen.
eral must have his picture taken. He
posed with Minister Postoriza. Then
he posed alone in a large chair.

On his left was Minister Pastoriza
and on his right one Senor Aguilar
Senor Aguilar, volunteer helper,
said:
There are only seven minutes be-
fore they have go 60 to the State
Department. Now, will somebody
ask question? Gen. Trupillo will
reply in Spanish, and I will tell you
what he said
No questions were asked at once.
The general offered a remark of his
own. Minister Pastoriza passed 1t
on in English:
This is a good will trip for i'm
proving even further the good rela-
tions between the Dominican Re-
public and the United States"
Throws in Comment.
A correspondent began a question
With time growing short, Senor
Aguilar had a comment:
"A release containing a statement
from Gen Trujillo will be ready for
you downstairs. I think 1t will an
swer all the questions you could ask.
You ask questions now and I will
let you know if it is not answered
in the statement"
In reply to three questions, Gen.
Trujillo disclosed that he intends to
spend July in the United States, in
quiring into the country's agricul-
ture and industry and its cultural
centers; that he has received no
overtures from the German govern
ment for airplane or submarine
bases in his island country, and that

From the State Department he was
to go to the Capitol for lunch with

afternoon he planned 70 inspect the

this information, Senor Aguilar sug-
gested that it was time to go. The
general waved away the thought,
even though he was running the
danger of being late at the State
Department for his appointment

he left. and the correspondents
sought the release which Senor Agu-
liar had spoken of. 1t was Is min

Needs No Loans.
"The Dominican government needs
no loans" he said through Senior
Aguilar, who remarked himself that
the government has balanced its
budget for eight years in row. The
general said, however, that he would
be interested in an American dona-
ton toward the erection of the pro-
posed Columbus monument in Gu

soil first on Santo Domingo in 1892.
