Five runs in the first two innings, starting with four runs in the first inning, was more than enough to win the schoolboy baseball cham pionship of Waterbury for the sac- red Heart parochial school team, coached by Bobby Ray, and title- holders in their own circuit.

 COMES T0STRAND
"I Wake Up Screaming Opens Sunday With
 Three Name Stars

Performances tomorrow evening at Warmers Strand theater conclude and Olivia deHavilland in They Died With Their Boots On", also Wayne Morris and Joan Perry in "The Smiling Ghost"
 Hailed as one of the years most exciting pictures T Wake Up Screaming" comes to the Strand on Sunday as the headliner of the giant weekend program with Bet ty Grable, Victor Mature and Car ole Landis in co-starring leads.
 Hollywood's three most thrilling personalities are featured in this film and they make the screen sig gle according to reports. Mature is known to screen fans as the new 'it" man of the screen, all know Miss Grable as the "bombshell' and when these two get together, new high in screen artistry is brought to Strand patrons.
 T Wake Up Screaming" has al- ready been hailed as the most un- usual film of the year. It is thrill ing, spinechilling mystery drama and tells it's story in a way that will hold audiences spellbound.
 Mature as a promoter, Allan Mow- bray as an actor and Allyn Josillyn as a newspaper columnist, select Carole Landis, who is a waitress, in cheap restaurant and as a prank publicize her, make her an attraction at several of the leading night clubs and finally the night thta she has had screen test and a contract for Hollywood, she is found murdered.
 Mature is really on the spot as Laird Cregar, who plays the part of the detective, starts out to prove that he is the killer. Mature is in quite lot of hot water, until he finally gets himself off the spot by a unique method.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present the merry musical I'M oonlig ht in Hawaii" with Leon Errol, Jane Frazee and The Merry Macs.

title, "I'll Take Manila" isn't a very amusing handle for the Eleanor Powell flicker. At Warmers, everyone is recalling a prophetic line re- gently filmed in Arsenic and Old Lace" Jack Alexander, playing the harmlessly crazy nephew who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt, says to a min ister who has been deploring the European war: Point your gun the other way sir. Japan-there lies your danger!"
 Obviously, today, such a statement is no way to convince audiences that the man is insane. So it will be changed in some way. Changed, too, will be once-funny sequence in Republics Sailors on Leave" in which Chick Chandler leaps into a taxi and shouts: Hurry! It's mat ter of life or death for the United States!" At that point the driver looks around and is revealed as a Japanese. Maybe the situation could be sold to Alfred Hitchcock for a melodrama, but it's no good for comedy.

|FIBBER AND MOLLY
 HEAD STATE CAST
Radio Stars Featured in Look Who's Laughing
 Starting Sunday

Coming to close tomorrow eve ming at Warmers State theater is "All Through the Night" starring Humphrey Bogart with a star studded cast; also Jinx Falkenburg and Charles Buddy Rogers in Sing for Your Supper.
 The second of the States big pa- rade of new year hits will be in the offing for Waterburians when the new smash comedy, Look Who's Laughing" makes its local debut at that theater Sunday.
 Fibber McGee and Molly, Edgar Bergen and Charlie Mccarthy unite their laughmaking talents with those of screen star Lucille Ball in the lavish comedy.
 The stylized comedy of the first four has zoomed their popularity barometer to the very top on the radio, their weekly broadcasts hav- ing combined listening audience of more than 65,O00,000 ether fans. When you see them in person on the screen, the reason is obvious They are said to contribute bowling performances, and comedy film com- edian Lucille Ball sticks right along with them.
 The hilarious plot has to do with a famous but absent-minded radio ventriloquist, Bergen, who takes his little pal, Mccarthy, away on fly ing vacation trip, runs out of gas and lands in the little town of Wist- full Vista, where Ffbber and Molly are trying desperately to sell an airplane manufacturer the local air. port. Fate and the machinations of Fibber's enemies conspire to get things into ludicrous mess, which only the fast work of all concerned, and particularly Lucille Ball, Ber- gems sweetheart-secret serves to bring the uproarious mix-up to a happy conclusion.
 In addition to the riotous por- trayals of the five stars, other splen- did performances are contributed by Lee Bonnell, Dorothy Lovett, Neil Hamilton, Charles Halton and such well known radio characters as Gil- dersleeve, Mrs. Uppington and Old Timer.
 Theatergoers who like movie mys- teries with laughs will surely rave about "The Night of January 16th", second hit of the program.
 Starring Robert Preston and FL len Drew, the new mystery comedy is a picture that refuses to remain serious even under such exciting circumstances as a murder and a slayer-hunt.
 Continuing the States big parade sensation, '"The Man Who Came to Dinner" co-starring Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan and Monty Woolley, which begins it's engagement We'd nesday. The picture was adapted from the long-run Broadway con- edy success. "Steel Against the Sky" with Alexis Smith, Lloyd Mo- Ian and Craig Stevens, will be the second hit of this program.
 Other attractions coming soon in- clude "Skylark", Confessions of Boston Blackie', Birth of the Blues" and among others, Among the Living.

MUSICAL COMEDY
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Babes on Broadway" Stars Mickey Rooney and
 Judy Garland

Babes on BroadWa y" which opened at the Loew Poli theater at midnight performance Wednesday proves one thing-youth still main tains its supremacy in the motion picture world.
 A splendidly contrived combina- tion of music, dancing, comedy and pathos, this new Metro Goldwyn Mayer pcture serves as the perfect show window for the talents of its co-stars, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
 Literally full of music, the picture also offers Virginia Weidler in a departure from her usual dramatic role, singing and dancing. Two other notable additions are Ray Mcdonald and Richard Quine, new corners from the New York stage, with Fay Bainter, Donald Meek and Alexander Woollcott represented in adult roles.
 The impersonations by Mickey and Judy bring down the house as does Judy's singing of Chin Up, Cheerio, Carry On" "Bombshell from Brazil" which serves to in- troduce Mickey in Carmen Mi randa impersonation, Rings On My Fingers, Bells On My Toes" la Blanche Ring, and Mary Is Grand Old Name," as made famous by Fay Templeton.
 But, good as it is, the music of Babes on Broadway" does not over shadow the exciting story. T aking as its theme the scores of young sters who invade New York yearly, struggling for their "break" on the stage, the plot deals with the fight of Mickey and his pals for toe hold as dancers. They eventually wind up producing their own show on Broadway.
 Director Busby Berkeley has giv- en his large cast of youthful stars every opportunity to exploit their song and dance talents and Arthur Freed produced with a lavish hand, Babes On Broadway" may be set down as one of the most original and delightful productions the screen has offered us i'll many a moon. On the same program is another smash hit, MT. and Mrs. North featuring comedeinne Oracle Allen at the head of notable cast. Don't miss it!
 This complete double feature bill will be shown at our Early Bird Show tomorrow morning promptly at 10 a. m. with no advance in our regular prices for this special show l ing.

Hollywood MovietoWn is TO longer just dream world where war is a clash between a few hun dred extras shooting blanks packed with talcum powder, or where naval battles are fought by miniature vessels in tanks smaller than swim ming pools, or where bombing raids are thrilling little forays conducted by Stunt Flyer Paul Mantz.
 It wouldn't have been such a rude awakening if Never-Never Land were not right in the middle of a huge checkerboard of defense areas which are under virtual martial law. Transportation is difficult be- cause of detours. Location trips night filming and production of aviation pictures are impossible. The reason outdoor work is prohibited is because police can't be spared to control the throngs of curious.
 JITTERS AS USUAL
 Hollywood is begoinning to gel just a vague idea of what the motion picture companies of England arc up against. Just few weeks ago, the major studios were figuring on with drawing most of their branch ac- tivities in England to brisk and efficient Hollywood; but now they're not so sure. In this early period of adjustment, HollyWood's notoriously bad nerves have grown more jittery than ever, and there are quite a few players who have hard time keep Ing their minds on their business.
 Production schedules have been sWeepingly revised, with war stories added after revision to the new situation. Released as soon as pos sible will be few films which might help to stimulate recruiting in vari- ous branches of the service. One planned picture dealing with avia- tion Is being rushed into production with Army cooperation. It is "Bombardier," which will help ac quaint the public with the thrilling job and rather special type of men whom the air forces are anxious 10 train in order to release pilots for actual flying duties.
 The war brought embarrassment to studios with newly finished pie lures about life in the South Seas which Is represented as filled only with cuties, flowers, song and mere smattering of villiany. For instance 2Oth-Foxs' "Song of the Islands, dealing with an effort to prevent crass commercialism from marring the pastoral existence on one of the Hawaiian group, would look silly right now. The same studio now has location company actually strand ed in Hawaii, where it went to make background shots for another sarong and hybiscus opera.
 NOT so NUTTY
