A Mexican divorce popped up in the testimony of the former wife of Harry Codianne, Al, of 1867 South Main street who was arraigned in city court today on a charge of non-support.
 The woman said that shortly af- ter she divorced Codianne she mar ried another man. But after time she discovered 8 Mexican divorce in her new husbands past, and found that she was not married legally. She left this man, she said.
 Codianne, who was arrested on a two-year old warrant, testified he was willing to support his tex" and four children, but that he was un- able to at present.
 Whereupon the ex-wife took the stand again and told the court that Codianne was living with another woman.
 Investigate this case" ordered Judge Theobald E. Conway, who a few minutes before had commended Codianne with the good impress sion." he made on the court.
 ''There's more here than meets the eye," the judge concluded.

 PROBING BLAZE
Special to the Democrat)

South Britain, July 31-State Po- hceman Warren French will con- tinue his investigation today into the fire which yesterday destroyed the James Fleming place on Pierce Hollow Road. Police are of the opin- ion that gasoline can exploded in one of the apartments, causing the fire.
 Only one small corner of the structure was saved by volunteer firemen from Woodbury and South- bury as southwest breeze, just be- fore the rain storm, aided the blaze in making headway. Water had to be pumped from a quarter of a mile away.
 Most of the furniture of the Weld family and Somers family was saved by the volunteers. MT. Fleming, owner, is patient at St. Mary's hospital, Waterbury. The building is insured.

Deanna Durbin Makes
 Bid For High Awards
Scintilating Work of Young Star in 't's Date" De-
 lights Observers at Prevue at State Theater

in shining more effulgently it will focus attention upon her excellent work in Its A Date.
 In private pre-vue newspaper critics were given an opportunity last evening at the State Theater to see Deanna in musical com- edy role. The posters bill "It's A Date" as Joe PaSternak triumph! Maybe so, readers, but yours truly's vote goes to the captivating little star on her own merits. She is re- freshing and stimulating in her grown up" role. She is really a revelation in her new lead. And incidentally it is the musical fea- lures that will appeal more strong ly to the average fan than the plot" or shadowy background for the frequent vocal and instrument tai interpolat that highlight the presentation. Hawaii, locale of TO- nance, naturally calls for music and excellent showmanship a la Pasternak provides it in most cos mopolitan style. Deanna sings three classics, Schubert's Ave Maria" "Loch Lomond" and "Musetta's Street Song" from Puccini's La Boherne." The big vocal thrill be- cause of Its newness is Love is AL" Harry Owens and his Royal Hawaiians" provide plenty of the musical atmosphere that is Hawaii's.
 The story of the little trooper, daughter and granddaughter of actresses willing to make sacrifices for mothers advancement is fa- miliar one, but in "It's A Date" there are several new twists in the exploitation of the theme as to make it really more appealing to the emotions.
 Of course, Deanna is not the whole. Stars of greater magnitude would find it difficult to eclipse such screen favoriteS as Kay Fran cis and Walter Pidgeon, not to men, tion supporting principals as Lew is Howard, Eugene Palette, Secilia LoftuS, Henry Stevenson and Har- ry Owens.
 When Its A Date" opens here next week it should be a date for the Durbin fans to make holiday. The film is her latest and her greatest say the publicity front of- office, but strange to say, they are not making any pretentious claims which they cannot substantiate in htis particular offering. Shows of Its A Date" are as welcome and as refreshing as Spring zephyrs- and both seem to be just around the corner although there's a date for the screen appearance of De- anna and cast.
