Movie Stars To Attend
 War Bond Luncheon
Scheduled for Sept as Feature of Salute to Heroes
 Month; Charles LaughtOn at Tool Co. Rally

Charles Laughton, Ann Ruther- ford, Virginia Gilmore and other movie stars will be among those at- tending a luncheon at The Elton Sept. 2 as a feature of "Salute to Our Heroes Month" in Waterbury Reservations for the luncheon can be made at any of the local theaters which have joined their efforts to make the War Bond drive in Sep- tember 8 huge success. To secure a reservation, purchase of a $10O war bond must be pledged.
 MT. Laughton will appear the same day at a rally of Waterbury Tool Co. employees at the plant grounds at noon. Patriotic ceremo- nies will mark the gathering.
 The Sept. program will be but one of many entertainment and feature highlights for September. The theaters are being assisted by local merchants and business men in their drive.
 If Charles Laughton had followed the wishes of his family, he would today probably be in the British Navy. At that, those parental de- Sires were almost fulfilled, for Laughton did serve in His Majesty's s Navy during World War I. Fortu- nately for the world of art, this was 8 passing patriotic deed and not 8 career.
 As a lad, Laughron hardly old enough to enter upon schooling for

a career of the seas, had already developed love for the stage.
 It is hard to picture Charles Laughton as a baggy -trousered Cob yet but for a stubborn trace in young Laughton's makeup, that is just what he would have been Charles Laughton, greatest of all modern British actors, would never have been heard oil
 Laughton has made a constant struggle against being pigeon-holed as a type and thereby limited to one or two kinds of roles. He likes to play comedy; is genuinely mod est; somewhat nervous; and has won success in parts ranging from effete foppery to intense drama. He Is truly an accomplished actor.
 Charles Laughton met and mar ried Elsa Lanchester, British act- ress. Their greatest joint triumph was Henry VIII," in 1883, and Laughton received the oscar" award for his brilliant performance in that film. After several pictures in Hollywood, Laughton returned to London to create Mayflower Pic lures, Ltd, with Erich Pommer.
 The Laughtons like to point out that they met under circumstances that are now completely reversed. Their first film appearance to- gether was in 8 series of little known short, written for the Eng fish screen by H. G. Wells. In the

EVICTION ACTION
 IS NOT ALLOWED
Continued from Page D

(COnClnued from Page U the second in Connecticut.
 Mrs. Fernandez is the owner of two buildings at 54 Burton street, one containing eight tenements and the other having two tene- ments. The Longos are tenants in the eight tenement house.
 The case was brought to the at- tention of the rent control offlce when Mrs. Longo reported that Mrs. Fernandez refused, June 1, to accept $22 for the rent. This was the amount paid April 1, 1941 and the amount set by the rent control ofilce as the legal rent.
 Rent Was $3O
 Mrs. Fernandez demanded $50 for the rent
 Tn a later investigation by Frank McCann of the rent control office 1t was learned that Mrs. Fernandez had charged eight of her ten ten- ants more than the legal rent set by the rent control office. Mrs. Lon- go and Giacomo Torenzo, another tenant, refused to pay the excess charge.
 On orders from the rent control administrator Mrs. Fernandez re- mitted to her tenants the differ ence between the rent charged and the legal figure.
 An eviction notice was given Mrs. Longo on June 27, by Mrs. Fernan- deg attorney. The proceedings were based on the claim that Mrs. Fer nandez wanted the rent for her son.
 Evidence was presented to show that Mrs. Fernandez intended to charge her son for the rent. This, according to Judge Conway's ruling, Is contrary to the section of the rent control regulations permitting e landlord to evict tenant to make room for a relative.
 Attorney Edward Traurig appear ed for Mrs. Fernandez and Attor- ney Michael Ciano was counsel for Mrs. Longo.
