The music of Noel Coward, with out doubt some of the most charm ing ever to reach the screen, fines it's perfect interpreters in Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy, the incompatible song team united again in the picturization of the Coward operetta, Bitter Sweet which closes tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre.
 The stars were never in better voice and never sang in a more colorful setting, for the Gay Nine ties period in which the story is set and is brilliantly reproduced in Technicolor.
 Miss Macdonald is seen as Sar- ah Millick, Victorian belle, who on the eve of her wedding, elopes with her singing teacher, Carl Linden, played by Eddy. Both roles are enacted with complete ease and conviction by the stars, who are called on for no exaggerated dra- matics but appear entirely natural as musicians Miss Macdonald dis plays her dancing ability to gay

The process by which q Dos become "adieus" in short order comes up for motion picture scru- tiny at the goth Century Theatre. where Paramount's "r Want Di- vorce.v. stars Joan Blondell and Dick Powell and is playing for the last times tonight.
 Director Ralph Murphy has gone about the business Of building a picture around divorce in thor- oughly capable manner. Joan Blon- dell and Dick Powell, who are g happily married couple in real life are seen as pair of young folk who are parties to a divorce, the divorce of Joan's sister. Shortly thereafter, they get married--that is, after Dick passes his bar exams. As such, the pair t perfectly cast, and the supporting cast, headed by Gloria Dickson, Frank Fay. Jessie Ralph and Conrad Nagel, fit into their roles perfectly.
 Something should be said about the manner in which Joan Blondell and Dick Powell perform as man and wife. Perhaps. it's the ad- vantage of being married in real life, but whatever it is. it give' them just that extra something a' they move through scene aftel scene in T Want a Divorce" cal culated to provoke laughter. and sometimes thought. e.

In the first flight would be all motored planes. The second class would consist of all gliders. The remaining four classes would be made up of non motor models, divided according to wing spread.
 Prizes
 Four prizes will . be, offered in each class, it was recommended by Roth, Prizes will be for the best workmanship, best design, longest flight and best flight combining take-off and landing.
 Rules for the contest, as sug- gested by Roth. would be as fol- lows: ~ l. Boys must make their own planes.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-17

The Catholic Transcript, offi- cial diocesan publication, today paid high tribute editorially to Rev. John A. Shell, O. F., for mer Waterburian who died last week at Valhalla, N. Y. He was held in the highest regard by Connecticut priests, says the edi- torial, and was noted for his de-
 votion to Acknowledgement.
 The editorial in The Transcript follows:
 FATHER SHE'LL
 The Very Reverend John A. Shell, a noted Dominican father, was buried last week in Pleasant vile, New York. He died as pas tor of the church of the Holy Name of Jesus in Valhalla, New York, and his work as head of the Eastern Mission Band of the Dominican Fathers had taken him to many places along the Atlantic seaboard, as well as to other sections of the country, but he had special connections with the Diocese of Hartford.
 His family lived in Waterbury. He was, for three years, stationed in New Haven. He had given great many missions in the state and was acquainted with most of our clergy. The latter valued him as an accomplished and effective speaker, as noble priest, and as a true and generous friend.
 Those who knew him best tell US that the distinctive thing about Father Shell was his devo- tioHn to his fellow priests. He saw in each of them the glorious reality of the priesthood, and in its light personal idiosyncracies were forgotten. In other words, he had the attitude of perfect faith. This informed his words and actions, indeed his very con- sciousness. It made him a priest whom his fellows could not only love, but initiate.
 Father Shells nearness to so many of the diocesan clergy served to strengthen the bonds between them and the religious, such as his own community. He was thus contributing to a solid arity which is indispensable, for the most effective functioning
