POLL

Rise Stevens once said "No" to 1 fame.
 The august Metropolitan Opera Company received the shock of its life when they offered contract to Rise Stevens and were. turned down.
 This unprecented rejection of what most singers would consider the opportunity of a lifetime occurred when Miss Stevens was auditioning at the Juillard Graduate School. She felt that her repertoire was not large enough, and preferred to go abroad to study.
 The singing star now makes her first appearance before the motion picture cameras in "hTe Chocolate Soldier" new M-G-M musical, now playing at the Loew Poi Theater, in which she appears opposite Nell son Eddy.
 M-G-M selected Hitting romantic comedy for the new singing team, with Miss Stevens cast as Eddy'S wife whose flirtatious nature drives him into the expedient of assuming disguise and impersonating another man in order to test her love.
 The companion feature on this program is Frank Bucks Jungle Cavalcade."
 So great is the spectator interest in "7bt Spot" the goth Century Fox film starring Betty Grable, Victor Mature and Carole Landis, next film coming to Loew's Poll, that even the latest news headlines are crowded out of mind.
 Thus was the prophecy of Produc- CT Milton Sperling, who had great confidence in Hot Spot" even while it was in the planning stage-and the critics have borne him out.
 "Hot Spot" is laid against back ground that holds great fascination to almost everyone. Its locale are Manhattan's Great White Way and the gay cafe society crowd that frequents such famous clubs as The Stork, Twenty One, and the Rain bow Room.
 The second smash hit on this pro- gram is Down In San Diego" with Bonita Granville and Ray Mac Donald.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-11
STATE

Ending tonight at Warmers Strand theater is 'The Maltese Falcon" CO., starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor; also Wayne Morris and Brenda Marshall in "The Smiling Ghost"
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other "sock" show, Tt Started With Eve" Deanna Durbin's latest and greatest picture, as the headliner.
 Hailed by critics as the grandest fun you'll see or hear this year, "It Started With Eve" presents Charles Laughton in the co-starring lead with Deanna, and Robert Cum mings in a very important role.
 Both Miss Durbin and Laughton have Motion Picture Academy "Os- cars as proof of their artistry and are said to reach new heights as comedy stars in Tt Started With Eve"
 Miss Durbin, winner of a special Academy Award in 1897 and Laugh ton, who. captured an Oscar" for his title role in Henry VIII'' in 1892, appear together for the first time in the new romantic comedy.
 Deanna'S nine previous films have established her as an accomplished comedienne, as well as a. romantic singing star. Laughton'S 'RuggleS of Red Gap" and other comedy portrayals have proved his ability in the comedy line.
 Deafna's role as hatcheck girl who is brought into a millionaire's home as his sons fiancee, is de- parture from anything she has done on the screen. Even Laughton is of- fered an entirely new type of char acter. His part is that of the ec- centric,g elderly multi-millionaire.
 Cummings has the lead opposite Deanna, who sings five numbers in the, picture. Two veterans, Guy Kibbee and Walter Catlett, appear in novel guise in the new film. Kibhee essays the role of bishop and Catlett,s part of family physi- clan to Laughton is different from his usual fast-talSing roles. Others in the cast include Margaret Tal- lichet. Charles Colman and Cath arine Doucet.
 Law of the Tropics" with Con- stance Bennett and Jeffrey Lynn. is the second "big hit" of the pro- gram.

.GlonUing
 Yourself
By Alicia RaEG

Those late summer and early fall doldrums you find yourself sinking into all too frequently these days may be nothing more O. less than crying need for black dress or a new hat. Light colored summer dress es and white straw hats have way of seeming not quite suitable once these is a hint of fall in the air.
 The ideal black dress for late Au- gust is the one that will be perfect during September, when you don't wear 8 coat but when you do wear fall accessories as well as useful la ter on under fall and winter coats, A hat to wear with the new black dress and with summer dresses as well might be 8 sheer black wool turban or a black velvet pillbox.
 Get the suntan situation well in hand right now. Make up your mind whether you are going to retain a dark coat of tan until late in the fall or whether you are going to be lily white once you start wearing fall clothes. Don't go in for half way measures on this subject. Be tanned or be white. Don't be haf- tanned.
 Work on your hands. If you've had a fine summer of plenty of swimming, golf and tennis, it's more than likely that your nails are shor- ter than you like to have them and that backs of hands and fingers aren't as smooth as they were last spring before you started summer sports.
 Use your nail brush each time you wash your hands; always dry them carefully, then apply hand lotion. Better keep hand lotion on the kitchen shelf as well as in the bath room. Lightly rub small callouses at sides of nails with piece of wet pumice now and then between manicures. Massage oil or cuticle cream into dry cuticle around the nails.
 Don't cut the cuitcle, and don't let a manicurist scrape the base of nails with a steel instrument. Bits of dead skin should be re- moved with a cotton tipped orange stick, dipped in cuticle remover.

TEETH AND EXPECTATION OF
 LIFE

Expectation of life is the dura- tion of life an individual of any age may expect from the averages shown in mortality statistics. For example the expectation of life for persons born this year in the Unit ed States is, according to statistics compiled b. the Met rpolitan Life Insurance Company, aDSut 66 years for females, about 63 years for males, but this does not necessar- fly imply that nagging shortens life. The thing is to know when to duck. . Due to financial depression and old age (forty-flve), (writes a lady we'll call Alma, who certainly does not let it get her down), I had to join one of the three letter aSso- citations. If cut my finger or burn my hand I can go to ....... HOs-. pital and get immediate attention. When I am S,sk l can go out to the wonderful ....... Hospital where I am given a thorough examination, advice and medicine. If I need an operation I can get 1t done by the best surgeons at the Hospital. But when l have 6 toothache there is no place to go for repairs. How ever, If can hold out for months, until the tooth is beyond repair. l can have it extracted at the .. ... Hospital. For lack of three dollar filings l have had to lose c Ium- Der of teeth. I suffer with them as long as I can bear it and then I give up and have them extracted. This is stark tragedy to me. Any day now I shall have to march sto- ically to the chair" and have an- other lower tooth out. That will leave me just seven lower teeth (front ones) and before long I must have an upper front tooth out and certainly cannot afford anything to take its place. I still hope to get back into circulaton again in a job, but 8 woman minus front teeth looks like an old bag - decidedly repellent to people = and this dis. qualities her from a good many ions she might otherwise get and hold.
 I am very grateful for all the service I have received from the Relief Associations but believe you will understand how I feel about the loss of my teeth. Perhaps your influence would help to improve this situation. l have heard young mothers weep at sacrificing their teeth because they can't possibly afford to have them filled or oth. erwise saved. l understand chil- dren do get their teeth filled.
 (Signed ......)
 Loss of a tooth that might be saved by good dentistry Is indeed stark tragedy for any one who i1as a proper conception of health, effi- ciency and longevity. Probably no medical or surgical treatment give
