THIS is TOPS

Because if YOU can find anything
more uproarious than Bobby Clark
and Robert Wallsten in the intro.
duction scene, than Mary Boland's
of the intrigue. or than
the final duelling imbroglio. we
would like TO know what il is.
We particularly admired the
Arthur Guiternan prologue. excel
lently delivered by Philip Bour-
neuf. to the effect that now is the
time for laughter, and that, in the
lace OF our present trials JOY
should be, rs Mrs. Malaprop would
say, "unconsigned."

IN PERFECT SUPPORT

Haila Stoddard does very well
with the weakest role. that of
lydia Languish, and Philip Bour-
neut gives Sir Lucious O'TTfgger
a ROBUSTNESS that's distinctive.
Altogether, its cast. with which
II would be almost impossible to
find fault with. and Eva LeGalli-
enne's direction. is paced so high
that you are hardly aware Of the
length of some of the first scenes.
A truly clever addition TO this
story of the quality" at Bath, the
tfeibles, feilies and romantic in
'trigues of English society Of that
period, is the Interpolation of sew
eral songs by Arthur Guiterrnan
between each scene.

TO THE MANOR BORN

OF course. Mary Boland was
born TO the mantle of Mrs. Mala-
prop and she carries off the
slaughtery of the English language
with such aplomb that we had 10
stop every once and so often 10
wonder if perhaps she wasn't using
the right word.
Walter Hampden steps down
from the grand manner to prove
just how funny he can be as Sir
Anthony Absolute, the gruf-f
father.
: But these three don't carry this
light burden alone. The sly humor
of the conniving maid, Lucy, by
Helen Ford; the signing equivoca-
tions of the lovesick Falkland as
done. by Robert Wallsten. and the
stalwart tempers of Donald. Burr
as the handsome Captain Anthony;
all are superb.

FlREMEN TO SELL
 TICKETS FOR BALL
Volunteers to Aid COmmit- tee Starting Monday
 Morning

Starting Monday morning uni- formed members of the Waterbury Fire department will start their tour of the city to visit business and pro- fessoinal men to invite them to the
 n'ennial concert and ball which will be held in February for the benefit of the Waterbury Firemen's Aid association.
 Once every two years the city's "bravest" are permitted by the board of fire commissioners to forget flre- fiohtirg and to think, talk and plan things pertaining to the social whirl. The biennial ball and concert con- sequently have come down through the years an outstanding social success, in fact they have rated with the most brilliant public functions Waterbury has ever sponsored. Guests from all parts of New Eng land have graced the occasions in the past and will undoubtedly look forward with keen anticipation to the coming event.
 This year the committee on ticket distribution faces a problem, a shortage of men available to assist in calling on their friends with the tickets. The board of fire coTnmis- sioners found it necessary this week to refuse a petition for members to make the calls during their work ing time, so many of their comrades being absent from duty owing to ill- ness. So it has been found necessary for the committee to call for volun- teers. And the call was answered enthusiastically. Members of the night platoon working or their own time of will make the rounds start ing next morning.
 That a hospitahle and courteous welcome will be extended to them ts accepted for granted, for tho sbravest" deserve the respect and esteem in which they are held by the general public og Waterbury.
