Marion, broke-with prospects, poem quoting descendant of illus trious southerners; Eddie O'Shea's
 portrayal of a rough-tough New York Irishman; George Matthews typical professional sergeant; the farm-bred hero of William Prince, and the mother as played by Aline MacMahon. Matt Crowley, Grover Burgess, Carl Gose, Clifford Car penter, Edwin Cooper, Mary Rolfe, Joann Dolan and Toni Favor are all to the good.
 This is a play you will remember for long time, and you will not forget James Monks in a hurry either. The Playwrights' Company produced 1t.
 Looking at the cast of Count Me In" you would be justified in believing that here were the makings of a good musical comedy. Droll Charlie Butterworth. back after a long Hollywood session; Lu- ella Gear, Hal LeRoy, June Preis- ser, Mary Healy, Cover and Jeanne, Melissa Mason. and Milton Wat son have what 1t takes. Unfor- tunately, the book by Walter Kerr and Leo Brady, which greatly satlr- izes the American Family doing its bit in the war. and the music and lyrics by Ann Ronell let them down rather badly and the net result is spotty entertainment at best.

HILL-BILLY BAND
 AT YMCA TONIGHT
ScOviII Musicians to En= certain at Community
 Chest Drive Meeting

The hill billy band of the Scovill Drum Corps, which playes at the Doolittle Alley Hall dances Satur- day nights, will again perform to- night for the Community Chest Drive meeting in the Y.M.C.A. The band is composed of Betty De Mec- co. accordion: George. Polucka, guitar; Charlie Stevens, violin; Steve Ferrucci, drum; and Belden De Vito, bass fiddle. The band players are all members of the Sco- will Drum Corps and have donated tehir services to the Community Chest Drive. The drum corps raises funds for its equipment by running the Scovill dances which have be- come popular in the Scovill hall on Hamilton avenue.
 The Drum Corps also parades for the benefit of the draftees who leave the city, and this Tuesday will have sixty memebrs marching to honor the draftees who leave on that day. The Scovill Corps has done a great deal for Waterburys morale, and deserves the support of all who attend the Scovill dances Saturday nights. Tomorrow nights dance will be a Learn How" dance feat uring square dancing instructions by Irving Andrews, and as an added attraction Lillian Douglas, former New York show girl, will appear as blues singer.

Glenn MilIer's Band and Nicholas Brothers Fea-
 ture Tuneful Film

There is something new in the way of cinema musicals and, just to prove 1t, 20th Century Fox today brings to the screen of the Loew Poll theater a delightful entertain ment dish that has, besides the nations number one orchestra and 8 superior cast sparkling story and tunes that set your toes a. dancing.

each other. Now they're rubbing shoulders for the biggest co-opera- tive endeavor of all - the Holly wood Canteen.
 We'll report later on this pool ing of movietown's time, talent and money when we see it in operation. But from what has been accom- plished - $15,000 building and the cooperation of everyone from top stars and studio bosses to stage la borers - it looks like it's going to be a big thing.
 Typical of the way the stars are supporting the Canteen was tele- phoned offer of a dishwasher. I'm a little old" said the applicant. DO you take old men?" Assured there would be a job for him, the dish- washer-to-be gave his name = Vic- tor Moore.

It is inevitable that this new play should be compared with the finest play in English about World War -"What Price Glory?" That, too was the work of Anderson, i'll col laboration with Lawrence Stallings, but it was not written until six wears after the Armistice "The Eve of St. Mark" is not quite as good &heater as What Price Grory?" It as more episodic, less closely knit, for one thing! for another 1t is not as robust, although there is plenty of down-to-earth soldier talk at which Anderson seems to excl in presenting.
 On the other hand, there is sone- thing more to this play about the present war than there was to its predecessor, something more per- eonal, more human. In "Glory" we got only the attitude of the fighting man, the professional fighting man, for the most part; in this play there as something of the home front, the attitude of the draftee, the close personal ties of family and young love.
 Camp BarTack Scenes Anderson writes of an upstate New York farm family-father another, and three sons. The eldest has been drafted-the entire first act occurs before Pearl HaFbor- and comes home on short leave co reveal his engagement to the pretty girl up the road. He isn't too keen about the army, but it's q job 70 do end he's doing it. Then come scenes in a camp barracks, with plenty Of hunlor and salty talk, in a restaurant, showing soldiers in quest Of female eompanlonship- the hero Eeslsts temptation, you will be glad 10 know, and back on the HaTIn. where, tn the middle of an- other leave, the dFaftee is hurTidly called back to camp He and the girl know that this time he Is en route to somewhere.

In Hollywood

Director Lewis Milestone gave three technical experts 8 friendly admonition when they were as- signed to his latest picture, "Edge of Darkness" He told them about the time he was directing TWO Arabian Knights" His technical expert kept saying how wrong everything was, so Milestone tried to trip him up.
 The set was the ultimate in silken, perfumed Oriental luxury, the sultan's palace in Arabia where, of course, they had never heard of anybody like Thomas A. Edison or his works. Say" Milestone baited, "in place like this in Arabia, how would they turn on the electric lights? With a switch on the wall, or button that you step on in the floors?" Not hesitating 8 moment, the technical expert said, "Oh, al- ways in Arabia, with button on the floor"
 BIT OF ADVICE
 Director Lloyd Bacon was inter- viewing new young player for a role in Action in the North Atlan- tic." The girl began rattling of long list of totally obscure dra- matlc schools.
 You know" Bacon said, you re- mind me of something my father said. When he became a big star in Lightnin he was invited to be the commencement speaker at the famous Sargent School of Drama. The most important thing in an acting career,' he told the gradu- ates, is to learn all you can about acting = and then make sure to forget it."
 There's a Christmas rush on in Hollywood this October. The stars and starlets, with one eye on the postal regulations, are trying to f1g- ure what you can stuff in 8 box mot exceeding II pounds in weight, IS inches in length or 42 inches over all"

STOPPED THE MEETING

STOPPED THE MEETING
Walking up to the platform /
took seat. AS the crowd had fol-
lowed me in, / rose to address the
meeting but was stopped by the
leader in the chair land not allowed
to address the group, but / did
manage to tell the crowd to leave
the meeting. All but thirteen did.
Then | asked Secretary Lehman of
the union who was the man who stuck
by me all the time. He laughed, and
said: IF it had not been for him
you would be in the morgue by now"
1t had been arranged to have me
shot as I walked through the crowd
and the presence of this man who they
all seemed to know had frustrated
the scheme. The officers of the
union evidently got wind of the thing
and had paid this professional killer"
a good sum to stick by my side.
MEETS UNTERMYER
The famous attorney, the late
Louis Untermyer, sent for me. |
went to see him accompanied by
our secretary. He demanded to
know what right / had to stop the
meeting. Expecting such a ques-
ton l had come prepared with
copy of the constitution of the in
ternatiOnal union which all these
men had sworn to obey. / pro-
duced the copy and said these mis-.
guided men had used the name of
the union in their call for the meet
ing, which gave me authority to
act. If they had called a mass
meeting without using the name of
the union it would have been a diff
ferent thing.
1t seemed to satisfy Mr.. Untermyer.
He had the boys in another room and
called them in and gave them a lee
ture on loyalty.
1t was then up to me to prefer
charges against the insurgents which
would have meant expulsion for MANY
of the leaders. l have never in nv
fifty years in the unions ever had a
member expelled, and l don't think l
ever will. 1t is much better to teach
than to drive.
