Shall these enormous sacri-

The defense OF democracy

the Congress Is now mortgag-
ing our future for a genera
ton to come, demands at least
that no tyranny and no injus-
tice be perpetuated or consoli-
dated into our assistance.
That great tyranny and injus-
tice Is now prevalent In Soviet
Russia is a matter of public
record and has been publicly
deprecated by the President
of the United States, In n
speech delivered in February,
1910, and by Under Secretary
of State Sumner Welles In his
statement at the outbreak Of
( he German-Russian war.
T cir denunciations apply
to Maxi Germany.

In The Local .The0terS
STATE

Performances this veenlng at Warmers State theater conclude the engagement of The Flame of New Orleans" starring Marlene Dietrich; also Tommy Dorsey and his orches- tra, Bert Wheeler and a host of other entertainers and comedians in Las Vegas Nights"
 Headlining the new show opening at the State tomorrow afternoon is "The Lady From Cheyenne" com- edy that will have you rolling in the aisles, starring Loretta Young.
 The producer strikes a novel and amusing note in this film by relat- ing his story in a modern breezy tempo against background of frontier wyoming in the l870s. .
 "The Lady From Cheyenne" marks the first Western" role In the distinguished career of Loretta Young, and according to reports her performance assuredly must be con- sidered one of the best of the cur- rent season.
 Matching Miss Young's versatile performance are such well known players as Robert Preston, Edward Arnold, Gladys George, Frank Cra- ven, Jessie Ralph, Stanley Fields, Samuel s. Kinds and Willie Best, who head the supporting cast.
 Miss Young portrays Q naive but determined young school teacher who comes out from Philadelphia to live on the frontier. She quickly be- comes involved in a conflict with a gang of crooked politicians led by Arnold and Preston, and she adopts some amusingly surprising methods to break their hold on the settlers.
 Keeping pace with her fight against the gang is her romance with Preston, @ love story that un- folds into e highly dramatic climax.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present "The Black Cat" a picture chock full of chills and comedy. Basil Rathbone, Hugh Herbert, Brod Crawford, Bela Lugosi, Gale Sondergaard, Anne Gwynne, Gladys Cooper head the cast.

never read 8 line In her whole stage career, became the heroine of Saro- vans new play: "The Beautiful People"
 THOUGHT HE
 WAS JOKING
 T thought he was joking" says Betsy. "It was while I was dancing in Panama Hattie and I used to meet Gene, who plays the lead in Pal Joey every night after our shows to have sandwich. Gene had told me lot about him, be- cause Saroyan had given him his first speaking part, too, as the dancer in The Time of Your Life
 "He interrupted me in the midst of Q swallow of milk to tell me I was St. Agnes of the Mice and ask me to read the part for him."
 Betsy answered politely she'd be delighted, but hardly dared to be- lieve he was serious. But the very next day Saroyan sent her the play. Gent went over it with her, helped her to interpret the role of a young girl who believes mice are people and shouldn't be harmed. The next day they went over to read 1t for Saroyan at his office.
 "Youre voice sounds too small" Saroyan commented, and Betsy says her heart dropped about Q foot, for by this time she was beginning to believe in fairy godmothers. Let's go over to the Barrymore theater and try her out there," Gene sug- gested.
 NO STRUGGLE
 TO GET FAME
 "Gene and Saroyan were envel- oped in the darkness of the last row, and I stood on the stage with the pounding of my heart drowning out my speeches. Betsy remembers.
 "When was through, Saroyan said "Hmmm,' and began to leave, and said to myself, Well, that's that, I should have known l wouldn't do.'
 "But Gene caught him by the arm and asked, Don't you think you ought to tell Betsy something?'"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-17

Saroyan turned, and answered otf-handedly, Sure, fine. You're in, Betsy"
 And 80 it was as simple as that mo struggling and starving, or trying to batter down casting agents office doors-for the l7 year old dancer, who had quit Cliffside, N. J., high school less than two years before she became Broadway star. GENE IS
 WAITING
 Her only experience as an actress had been in school plays. She had been graduated from high school at IS and because she was too young to 90 to college, she was at loose ends over the summer.
 In August she read an advertise ment for dancers at the 1nterna- tional Casino Show, and went over to New York to try out. Her mother and father weren't quite sure they'd like the idea of Betsy being pro- fessional dancer, but decided to let her take the job. Next she joined the Diamond Horse Shoe show where she met Gene Kelly, who was the dance director, and when this production ended she went into Panama Hattie"
 Bets real name is Boger, but she explains that when she turned pro- fessional she changed 1t to Blair for the stage, because ct that time she

POLES

When the 2oth Century-Fox pro- duction, "The Great American Broadcast, opened this afternoon at the Lowe Poll theater, that sen- sational trio of "Tin Pan Alley" Alice Faye, John Payne and Jack Oakie, scored another outstanding hit Cesar Romero, the star of "Tall, Dark and Handsome" Is starred with them In the hit.
 The Great American Broadcast" Is the tuneful story of radio broad- casting keyed to gay note. Skill fully refecting the mood of the period spanned by the picture, are the catchy numbers written espe- cially for the film by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. You'll come out whistling Run, Little Raindrop, Run," Long Ago Last Night" T Take To You" i've Got A Bone To Pick With You" "The Great Amer lean Broadcast" ," "Where You Are," and "Its All In A Lifetime"
 The story Is gay, and yet drama tic, Alice, John, Jack and Cesar are four people fllled with confidence and courage as they strive to make America rnusicHlly conscious via the airwaves. something that's never done before. They put over the first broadcast of opera and boxing, and put across the Idea of nation. wide hook-up.
 That sensational dance team, the Nicholas Brothers, are even more devastating than in "rin Pan Alley and Down Argentine Way. Radios favorites, The Four Inkspots, blot out your blues; and those comics of the Poles Bergere, The Were Bro- thers, had patrons in stitches as they went through their incompar- able comedy routines.
 Beautiful blonde Mary Beth Hughes registers another hit as Jack oakie's wisecracking cinema secretary.
