 Charlie Chaplin had two unhappy experiences with much younger wives. His first, Mildrd Harris, was i7, and in her divorce complaint she said that the comedian at home was "sullen and morose."

Ln The Local 1, The0tess
STATE

The big show of the year comes to Waterbury this afternoon when "oulliver's Travels" a full-length cartoon in technicolor, opens its four-day engagement at the Warner Bros. State theater.
 Hailed as the mightiest of all full- length cartoon pictures and pro- duced in overwhelming, glorious technicolor this amazing adventure of the shipwrecked Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians is sure fire entertainment for everyone and should be at the top of your must" list.
 Theatergoers will be delighted to know that all the charm, hearty humor and rich fantasy of Author Dean Swift's story is included in the film. The story, @ perfect piece of material for a feature cartoon, com- pines with lively dialogue, hit parade music and some of the grandest color-work ever to appear on the screen.
 The story of course concerns the English seaman "Gulliver" who is shipwrecked and lands in "Lilliput," the land where everything is minia- ture in size, due to the vagaries of an ocean storm. At first made a prisoner by the astonished and fear full little "Lilliputians," the English seaman frees himself of his bonds and turns himself into a national hero by his seemingly miraculous feats of strength.
 Swift's immortal characters and the directors cleverness in turning them into film stars" with his superb pen make this picture one you can't miss seeing. As "King Little" "King Bombo," Princess Glory" Prince David" the count less "Lilliputians," the three spies Sneak" "Snitch" and "Snoop" scamper across the screen. bewitch- ing world right out of Arabian Nights. The directors own creation, the town crier "Gabby," is a mas- terpiece of insolence, gayety and hu- nor. No doubt you'll be talking about him long after you've seen the film.
 No less than eight hit songs are heard, among them Faithful, For ever, "All's We'll" "We're All To- gether Now" T Hear Dream" and others.
 As the second big treat the man. agement presents Q story as exciting as the siren of speeding fire en- zine, Emergency Squad" with VII. liam Henry and Louise Campbell.
