HANOVER, N. H, Dec. 26. CUP)-
Dartmouth officials were so stunned
by Earl Blaik's resignation that they
have had no time to think of his

William H. McCarter, director of
athletics, said, I'VE regret that
Coach Earl Blaik has felt it his
duty TO go to West Point, and con-
graduate the military academy on

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When 5-year-old boy is made
king of country he has little, if
any, power. Older persons rule in
his name.
That was true in the case of Louis
XIV. His father died when
he was onlv S. The child be-
came King Of France, but the real
power was IN the hands of his
mother, the Queen, and of a high
off1cer Of the Catholic Church, Car
dinal Mazarin.
All through his boyhood Louis
found that things we're being done
fer him. not by him. Perhaps this
Is the reason he later took into his
own hands every bit of power he
could obtain.
In 1861 the cardinal died. He
had been prime minister and 1t was
expected that some one would be
chosen to take the same Office.
At this time Louis was % years
of age. Instead of choosing q new
prime minister he declared, Prom
this time forward shall be my
own prime minister"
Louis XIV said, II am the
state" BY this he meant, II am
France, and no one shall tell me a
single thing about how the nation
must be ruled"
In other words, Louis became q
dictator of sort. Probably no other
king had ever held so much power
over France.

France held it until 1871.
Seventy-two years! That was the

CIark's Ex-Wife to Teach College DramaticS Glass
BY RUTH MILLETT NEA GArvica Staff Writer

.. New York, Jan. 10.-You can bet your bottom dollar that the drama tic students at Christian college, Columbia, Mo, are going to do lot of hanging around after class to ask questions of their new coach.
 Because the new coach Is Jos ephine Dillon Gable-first wife of Clark Gable. And Mrs Gable isn't going to answer any questions about him in class. But afterward she'll be glad to.
 And she thinks she knows just about what they will ask. People always ask the same things about Clark" she told me over lunch in the St. Moritz hotel in New York where she is busy checking up on how some of her former students lJulie Haydon for instance) are do- ing on the Broadway stage.
 "Are his teeth false?" "Yes."
 "Are his ears pinned back?' ''Yes."
 "What does he like best to eat?" Cheese and crackers and milk" WAS TELEPHONE

 Thares a thrill every moment and q laugh in between in this picture for 1t brings back to the screen William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, the title roles they created in the first pie ture of the series.
 The picture is a worthy successor to the two preceding episodes of the %Thin Man" saga which set a high mark in entertainment value and also Q new style in mystery pie lures. It has the same witty How of narartive, the same succession of thrills and murder puzzle which will be eve'' more perplexing to 1Thin Man" fans than those that went before.
 In addition, it presents a baby Thin Man, whose nonchalant ways would wiring laughs from brass monkeys or wooden Idians.

Acclaimed as the most remarkable achievement in screen production sinc0 the advent of sound and beating one of the largest casts ever assembled for picture as well as some of the most impressive sets ever constructed "The Hunchback of lJotre Dame" comes to Warmers State theater this afternoon and will be presented to the theatergoing public at regular State prices.
 This thrill-laden, spectacular Animation of Victor Hugo's noted classic is truly the one picture you must say you've seen. Relived on 6 stage as vast as history itself it Is highlighted by IS climactic scenes; 100 featured players; a giant cast of $500 and over two hours of unbroken thrills and wonder.
 Starring Charles Laughton the film deals with the efforts of Q crippled cathedral bell-ringer to protect @ beautiful gypsy dancer from a mad Parisian nobleman. It paints a vivid picture of life in the stormy and treacherous France of King Louis I. Told with the pageantry and splendor and stirring drama which accompanied the era, the film provides eye-stunning and breath taking entertainment, abounding in impressive mass se- quences staged against an array of mammoth settings.
 Among the many sequences which will hold audiences breathless are the trial of poet Gringoire before the beggars in the sinister and er- ie Court of Miracles; the trial of the gypsy girl, Esmeralda, before the stern and unfeeling judgeS; Quasimodo's frenzied ride upon the great bells in the cathedral tower; the stirring attack on Notre Dame by the mob of beggars; and the public flogging of the luckless hunchback. These scenes, filmed in the huge reproductions of the Notre Dame cathedral, of the Sainte Cha belle, the Palais de Justice and the other spacious settings created for the picture, mark 1t as Q completely powerful interpretation of the great French classic.
 Laughton in the role of Quasimo- do is said to turn in 8 magnificent characterization, supported by Sir Cedric Hardicke. Thomas Mitchell, Maureen O'Hara who portrays the role of the gypsy girl, Edmond O'Brien, Alan Marshal, Walter Hampden and Katharine Alexander.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present a de- lightful surrounding program.

Arlene and Evans, sensational team of dancers, come to Waterbury direct from the New York World, s Fair to entertain patrons of the Loew-Poli theater tonight, at o'clock, heading another all-star Broadway stage show.
 Other performers on the bill in- clude Jimmy Lacore and his pham- tom harmonica; the White Sisters, Aristocrats of swing; Sully and Thomas, having fun, and the Three Elegants, leading dance artists and song stylists.
 Gus Meyers, Jr., and the Loew- Poll theater orchestra will provide the musical background for the show.
 Tn addition to the stage presenta- ton is a double smash hit screen bill headed by Robert Montgomery as "The Earl of Chicago"
 Montgomery, so often seen on the screen as the ise-cracking man. about-t town, has again proven him- self one of HollyWood's most ver- satile actors with his drama por- trayal of @ Chicago gangster in his latest hit.
 It was no ordinary role selected for Montgomery. The story is as unusual and original as any yet brought to the screen, with Mont gomery playing Silky Kilmount, liquor facketeer, who becomes an English Earl by inheritance.
 Not as heavy @ characterization as the psychopathic murderer Montgomery played in Might Must Fall" which brought him nomina- tion for the Academy Award, 1t. is an equally fascinating character: ization and the star plays 1t to the hilt.
 Edward Arnold and Reginald Owen are seen. in support of the star.
 On the same program is another smash hit. Legion of Lost Flyers" with Richard Arlen and Andy De- vine.
