Right up on top of your Must be-seen" list goes "The Dawn Pa trol", Warner Bros. thrilling and gripping epic of World War days which has been playing to jammed audiences since its opening Satur- day at the Warner Bros. State the ater,s midnight show New Years Eve.
 The final curtain was scheduled for this evening but due to the rec ord breaking crowds and consider ing the fact that there are still thousands who have been turned away, Manager Julia Smith has ar- ranged an extended engagement in order that all Waterbury may have the same opportunity of seeing it.
 sThe great cast headed by Errol Flynn and including David Niven, Basil Rathbone and Donald Crisp, in addition to some of the most breath-taking aerial combat scenes ever taken, serve to make this pie ture one you just can't afford to miss.
 It hits a new high in thrilling film fare, centering about the 59th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps, small group of. daring aviators whose lifetime in the air is about four and a half hours. Each dawn, some of these men go out on patrol duty. and about half of them re- turn. With their nerves under this constant ordeal, their philosophy of life is Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die"
 Flynn gains new laurels as a he- man star in his characterization of the dashing Courtney, flight com- mander. David Niven in the role of Flynn's buddy turns in an equal ly fine performance. Rathbone, in another of his adventurous roles as the grounded commander, is also superb.
 Others who share in the glory due to go with this film are Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper, Peter Will les, Morton Lowry, and Barry Fitz- gerald.
 Swing, Sister, Swing" an enter taining tale of Smau-toWn Jitter- bugs, stars Ken Murray, Johnny Downs, and Kathryn Kane. Ted Weems' orchestra ohciates in the many night club settings. The high point of the picture is the introduce ton of the new dance "Balt1more Bubble" by fast stepping Downs and Miss Kane
 Don't forgetl This outstanding program positively ends Thursday evening. Don't wait until the last minute, plan to attend today.
 Get ready for the second of the States 1899 parade of hits. On Fri day this popular theater will present the sensational film of the season Devils Island" with Boris Karlof in the title role. On the same show will be another big hit Little Tough Guys in Society" starring great cast which includes the Little Tough Guys" Mischa Auer, Mary Roland, Edward Everett Horton, Helen Parrish, Jackie Searl and many other favorite stars.

MT. Driscoll was reared on Q farm near Wichita, Kan., and for 20 years did not get out of the confines of Sedgwick county. The first book he remembers reading had to do with sea adventures. While he was milk ing COWS and hoeing corn he had sanguinary dreams; he wanted to go to New York City, to see ships and Ego rollin' down to Rio," as most boys do at that age. But most boys. when they reach the serious age of 20 forego their plans of world conquests and even forget their compelling interest in such a life. And so, apparently. did young Dris- coll, when he went to 8 Presbyter- ion academy at Wichita and then to Friends University, @ Quaker school in that city. When he was graduated from the latter in 1912 he decided to be a school teacher.
 But while in school Driscoll be- came interested in the university publication, and shortly before leav- ing got up what is considered the first yellow sheet' ever put out by an academic institution. He spread school scandal thick and fast, but the publication made hit with the then editor of the Wichita Eagle, Garland Terrell, who offered 8 job to the student. %
 For two years then he was a re- porter and he liked 1t. Then he got 8 better job on the Omaha Daily News.
 While in Omaha he became a "muckraker," Investigating city and county scandals. T was young and full of enthusiasm" he said, "and went probing with @ zeal" He thought he had. found an outlet to his yearning for adventure and his more serious desire to help the world, for which purpose he had

elsewhere, and 8 few weeks later was mercilessly mobbed by gangsters in the courthouse. He was roughed up and disillusioned. He got to think ing things over and decided that his life was not meant for such stren- uous and dangerous work. He stayed in Omaha long enough to prove that he hadn't been scared out of his job and then went to St. Paul, where he was determined to put an idea of his into operation that was more peaceful and less arduous than tickling the animosities of rough, hard and interruptions men.
 MT. DriscollS idea was to start on a newspaper something now widely used-a school page. He ap- preached H. M. R. Briggs, then the editor of the St. Paul Daily News, with his plan, and MT. Briggs fell in with the idea.
 He came on to New York then for awhile and was mail service editor of the United Press. While in New York he studied more at the New School for Social Research. In 1919 he took the job of editor of the Wichita Eagle, the paper he had started with, and stayed with it four years, leaving to join the Cleveland Press as associate editor in 1924. The year following he re- turned to New York as editor of the McNaught Syndicate.
 MT. Driscoll later returned to his first enthusiasm -pirates. He be- came recognized as an authority on pirate lore, wrote articles and made pirate talks over the radio. His book -"Doubleloons," was published in 1880.
 MT. Driscoll is the author of 8 biography of odd Mcintyre, which will be published in Cosmopolitan, and which will serve also as Warner Bros. movie vehicle. He and Odd Mcintyre were close friends for the IS years that MT. Driscoll edit ed the Mcintyre copy. Before MT. Mcintyre died. he told the McNaught Syndicate that he wished MT. Dris- coll to carry on the column he be- gan.

Local Industrialist Sends Statement Urging Sup-
 port of Activities

John W. Goss of this city, presi- dent of the Scovill Manufacturing company and a member of the board of finance has been reappointed Waterbury sponsor of the National Recreation association. The an- nouncement was made today by the New York office of the organization. MT. Goss is presently spending his annual winter vacation in Florida.
 Support of the associations activi- ties was urged by MT. Goss yester- day, in statement to its local mem- bers. AS a "basic reason" for this aid he cited a recent editorial in the Saturday Evening Post which read in part as follows:
 '"There are strong arguments for believing that education and recrea- tion provide a sort of security insur- ance for mankind. Recreation builds good bodies, education builds good minds. In broad sense, they are preventives against mental, moral and physical evils. A pound of cure still is worth no more than an ounce of prevention"
