E, Hollywood

Universal was glad to see it's old star again. Polo looks fine; little overweight. but he's in rigorous training. While his first serial is being written he has been playing features.
 Fl Brendel is another veteran who, after nine years, is making a comeback at Universal. He has a substantial role in the Bing Crosby Gloria Jean flicker, "If I Had My Way" The director is David Butler who directed Brendeps last film On the set the other day they were preparing for a drunk scene, and Butler said, "All right, Ell want you to do it just like you played the drunk in "Just Imagine" back in '31
 What" screamed the comedian And lay off another nine years!" McMURPHY IS STILL
 MAKING "PINCHES"
 Ever since the days when Pearl Holmes were being chained to rail- White, Ruth Roland and Helen IOdu LIdChS OI lOChCN HI Dul AlhAS cabins by leering heavies, Charlie McMurphy has been member of the posse or police squad that dash ed up in the nick of time. And McMurphy always was the man who clapped handcuffs on the covering culprit.
 He's still doing it. Today l watched him try to arrest Basil Rathbone in Destiny" Rathbone fooled him, though. Instead of cow ering, he jumped off the roof of building.
 McMurphy figures he must have played at least 2000 policemen roles in silent pictures, and more than 300 in talkies. He has arrested most of the big names in Hollywood, es- pecially Jimmy Cagney, George Raft, Wallace Beery and Victor McLaglen.
 Bill Powell was one of my best customers until he turned detec. tive" McMurphy said. T was sorry to lose him because he came along quieter than most of 'm."

STRAND

Different drama, memorable mys- tery and sensational screen fare is "The Return of Dr. K" the thrilling film which opened its four day engagement yesterday at War ner's Strand theater.
 The exciting story of man who returned from the grave only to again wield his callous scapel upon innocent and unwittingly victims was thoroughly enjoyed by every member of the audience.
 Humphrey Bogart in the role of "Dr. X.", bloodthirsty monster who must literally kill to live, ham, dles his part brilliantly in what is undoubtedly the best horror" per- formance of the year. Wayne Nor ris is well cast as the snappy re- porter, which he portrays very com- mendably without drawing on any of the stock mannerisms of the traditional movie reporter. Rose mary Lane is charming as the nurse sweetheart of Dennis Mor- gan and exceedingly good in the dramatic sequences when she falls into the hands of the killer.
 Morgan is outstanding in the role of the serious young interne, and the ever-capable John Litel dons the role of the blood specialist, and does a very good job of it.
 "The Housekeeper's Daughter" one of the gayest and most ex- citing motion pictures to reach the screen this season, is the co-feature and boasts a well chosen cast headed by Joan Bennett, Adolphe Menjou, Peggy Wood, John Hub- bard, Donald Meek and William Gargan.
 The film is said to be a fast moving, lively romance, smartly fashioned to contain all the ele- ments of entertainment.
 His Girl Friday, the comedy hit you've been waiting for comes to the Strand on Sunday with Cary Grant and Waterbury's own Ros- alind Russell in the CO., starring leads. By all means don't fail to see this action-p packed film.

No Special Ordinance Needed to Regulate
 Speed Limit

Police Chief William J. Roach said today 70 poles were erected on the city streets yesterday, leaving 10 more to go up before the 25 mile an-hour speed limit signs are at tached and the limit goes into ef- feet. This will probably be on Sat- urday, he said.
 The police board yesterday re- ceived an opinion from Corpora tion Counsel J. Gregory Lynch to the effect that he does not believe it necessary to pass an ordinance over and above the vote of the po- lice board creating the new limit.
 He cited a statute specifying that the vote of the police board to- gether with the approval of the state traffic commission is suffi- cient. The state commission has already approved the new limit
 The board received from the cit izens' traffic committee sketch of the proposed safety isles from West Main street and referred it to it's own traffic committee.
 Patrolman Edward Sullivan, a regular member of the department for a year, was promoted from Grade c to Grade B.

PARKWAY BECOMES FEATURE OF FAIR
States Famous Highway Set Up In Miniature For
 Visitors Inspection

A miniature of a section of the Merritt Parkway has been brought to New Haven from the New York Worlds Fair to be displayed as a part of the Safety Conference ex- hibit at Woolsey Hall next week William M. Greene, chairman of the committee on exhibits announce ed today.
 The conference, sponsored by the Highway Safety Commission will be held Wednesday, but the exhibit will be open to the public on Mon day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, MT Greene said
 The Merritt Parkway miniature will be part of the State Highway Department display. It was built by V. H. Short of the Peabody Museum at Yale University and is approXi- mately to scale representing three quNIters of mile on each side of the Norwalk crosS-over.
 Mir. Short, who makes enlarged models of microscopic animal life for the Peabody Museum, has eX- ercised considerable ingenuity in his highway model which represents a winter scene. After laying road surface of tempered masonite, he created snoWstorm by spraying atomized beeSWax. His trees are made of copper, his road bridge and railroad bridge of wood.
 A glittering chromium plated mo- torcycle, fully equipped for police purpose, will be a part of the State Police display. Fifteen vehicles used by the police and hospitals for en- ergency work will be on display out side of the hall.
 This will be the first time in the history of the state that various state departments have combined for a safety exhibit. Other depart ments taking part will include the Motor Vehicle Department, Labor Department, and the State Board of Education.
 There will also be a Connecticut Motor Club exhibit and various commercial exhibits. The making o: license plate from rough piece of aluminium to the finished product VIII Dc oIlOWIs huVOiIldO4C IOIltlOl of traffic will be demonstrated in a miniature intersection equipped with vehicle detectors in the several approaches, a traffic signal and miniature automobiles. A detector and signal on a model of high way curve will demonstrate the way speed of vehicles may be controlled on dangerous sections of the high way.

STATE

With the opening of Swiss Fam fly Robinson" at Warmers State theater yesterday, Waterburians can congratulate themselves on seeing the widely loved classic brought to the screen ir well nigh perfect fash ion.
 Due to a slight change in the States schedule the picture will end its engagement tomorrow (Friday) evening so those who intend to see it had better hurry.
 The picture is said to be 8 tri- umph and delight. In every detail, from the forebodings of the idealiS- tic Lonion merchant who sees his sons growing up in a futile and pleasure-mad society and who de- termines to make men of them at all costs, to the gripping rescue se- quence on the tropic island when each member of the family has to make the decision as to the future, the whole film rings true.
 The case is extraordinarily well chosen. Thomas Mitchell and Ed na Best are seen as the clashing Robinson parents, and Freddie Bartholomew, Terry Kilburn, Tim Holt and Baby Bobby Quillan, as the boys, all turning in superlative performances.
 As all readers of the Johann David Wyss book will recall, most of the action deals with the adventures of the Robinson family when they are cast away on South Sea island en route to Australia, where the father of the family had intended to begin. a new life.
 A new trend in mystery films Is established by the second big hit Double Alibi' which co-stars Wayne Morrie, Margaret Lindsay and William Gargan. Roscoe Karns, vet eran comedian and James Burke, another widely known comedian es- saying his first serious role, are also included in the elaborate cast. The new show opening at the State Saturday will be headlined by the sensational comedy hit "The Road to Singapore" with Bing Cros- by, Bop Hope and Dorothy Lamour in the leading roles. On the same program will be Women Without Names"

 He has been Scrapping ever since A few months ago he upped and popped a minor Nazi official on the nose. That's why Polo is back ir Hollywood. And he'll soon be back ir a jungle series for Universal.
 Beginning as kid, Polo worked 16 years with the Barnum and Bail ey circus as an acrobat, aerilist and stunt rider Then he spent 10 years at Universal, starring and doing all his own stunts in serials. Incident ally, one of his greatest pictures called Liberty" was directed by Henry McRae. When the new chap ter-film is begun, the producer will be Henry McRae.
 NAZIS TOOK AWAY
 ALL HIS WEALTH
 Back in 1921, when Eddie was at the peak of his popularity, he was doing some scenes in Mexico for "The Dangerous Hour" His horse stepped into gopher hole and the thrill-star landed n a hospital for six months, with doctors standing around telling him he'd never work again.
 He did, though. First he travelled around the world, organized some musical-western troupes, and took some flyers at movie production ir Berlin, Budapest and Vienna. Then quite well again, he settled down ir Germany with his own film con- pany and prospered for 10 years Finally he began having trouble with the government, and all his money and property were confisca. ted after the nose-punching incl. dent.
