In The Local The0terS
STATE

Sergeant York" after A whole year of acclaim at advanced prices. returned to the screen at the air conditioned State theater yester- day fer its first local showing at popular prices.
 Shown exactly as 1t was screened at advanced prices Sergeant York" presents Gary Cooper in the title role and is truly a picture for everyone to see.
 When the picture played some time ago, at advanced prices, ca pacity crowds filled the theater at every performance. Many had to be t"rned away Many wanted to see 1t for a second time but couldn't. Now all those people and many more h.-.. s- cnance to see 1t at popu- lar prices.
 The story is vividly depicted with the title role being portrayed by the powerful actor, himself often called typical American, Gary Cooper. The role won him the Academy Award.
 It was in the Tennessee back hills where Alvin York was born and bred to a life of hard toll and small rewards. When news of European war was first brought to York, and the others like him in his isolated community. it all made little sense to the clan. And when America joined the conflict, York just did mt understand. He didn't believe in killing and tried to get exemption from the army as a conscientious objector.
 Nonetheless when Alvin York was taken into training, and when the whole import of America and Amer ica's obligations dawned on the fel- low, that spirit was awakened that was to eventually lead to the most spectacular single soldiers career of the war.
 walter Brennan, Joan Leslie, George Tobias, Stanley Ridges ard many other film favorites comprise the fine cast.
 Lady Gangster" with Faye Elm erson and Julie Bishop is the second big hit of the program.
 Remember, Sergeant York" will be shown in its entirety, exactly as shown for one full year at advanced prices.

 His is the job of laying out the lot for the 41 tents, among them the worlds largest big top, of re- moving any obstructions on it, be they trees, telephone poles or hil- locks, of clearing all street and lane approaches to 1t and of levelling off It's front.
 He must also see that all supplies are delivered Friday and at dawn Saturday, for they must all be on the lot when the first of the four trains, carrying the cookhouse, din- ming department and menager.e rolls onto the New Haven railroad eidings. All of these supplies are purchased locally, great deal of them fly or six weeks ahead by the Hhow's "local" contracting agents, who are local only in the sense that they buy locally. These men purchase hay, straw, grain, fuel bread, meat and other products needed to sustain 1900 people, 50 elephants, 1909 menagerie animals and hundreds of horses. Fresh vegetables, eggs, milk, fruit, fish and fowls are purchased locally by the steward Of the show oh the day of exhibition.

Ronald Colman in My Life With Caroline" Producer Director Lew is Milestone saw British pie ture called Young Mans Fancy" He rushed out of the projection room and announced that the star, Anna Lee, was the girl he wanted and would somebody please inquire whether she could come to America right away?
 You can imagine his astonish- ment when he was told that Miss Lee was the wife of director at the same studio and that she was available at once.
 It was good start. Before the picture was finished John Ford chose her for the fine role of Bronwen in How Green Was My Valley" She gave that fine per- formance, too, but then had to leave the screen again because she was going to have a baby.
 Caroline Lydia Boniface Glenn entina Stevenson was born three months ago, and her mother is re- suming her twice-interrupted ca reer with the leading feminine role of a nurse in Flying Tigers, " Republics story of the American volunteer aviators in China.
 ALSO WRITES
 Besides acting, Anna Lee writes. She's in the middle of novel now, and has done short stories and a screen story.
 Another unusual thing about her is that she's undoubtedly the only movie star ever to be shot out of a cannon. That was during the filming of Young Mans Fan cy," and she insisted on trying the stunt because it looked like fun. It was, too except that her feet were numb for three days from the impact of the spring, and ex- cept for the fact that the friction in the bore of the contraption ripped off the tights she was wearing So the scene couldn't be used, and had to be done again. with 8 dummy.

Up and at Elm, Guv!

Governor Robert A. Hurley has been content of recent weeks to take uncom- plainingly the barbs hurled in his dlrec- ton by various Republican spokesmen. But there's always day Evidently the governor thought that Saturday was It, for at the annual outing of the Federa- tion of Democratic Women Clubs over at Fannie Dixon Welchs summer home in Columbia he unloosed few punches of his own and, according to all reports at this writing, Republicans at whom they were aimed really felt the impact.
 It was in no bitter mood that the gov ernor delivered himself of his criticism of those whose short-sightedness is now apparent. Piece. by piece, bit by bit ne referred to the charges brought against him by the COP campaigners Ills pointed reference to Republican failure to % along with him in 1941 when Demo- crats tried to put into effect housing legislation deserves consideration. It IS no secret that the 1941 Legislature had chance to put this state in the forefront in tackling the problem of adequate houS- ing for war workers, but muffed 1t badly
 However, that's no longer worth argu- ing about The point is that the gov ernor was sensible enough Saturday m his remarks to show that his own posi- ton has been fixed with regard to our national policy, whereas that of Repub- 1ican leaders underwent sudden change since last December In the exchange of pleasantries we don't think that Gov. Hurley has suffered one bit, in fact we think he has had somewhat the better of it.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-10

Gov. Hurley's statement to all police authorities to show leniency to defense workers from out of the state who are driving cars with licenses other than those of the State of Connecticut should not be abused. While our chief executive hopes that the authorities won't lean over backward to allow car owners every con- sideration, still there is just as much chance of them carrying enforcement of the law to an extreme. Some time ago Motor Vehicle Commissioner John T. Mc- Carthy had to call attention to the fact that our laws require motorist from out of the state to secure a Connecticut license after a six-months residence here Anyone from outside of Connectl- cut who comes here to reside and work should not expect to be allowed the use of our streets and highways after half year period. That certainly should be long enough to satisfy the car owner that he'll be at least ni-permanent resi- dent and as such should have Connec- ticut license on his car.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-10
Permanent Draft

The description applied to Congress man Wadsworth's latest proposal, "per- manent draft" is unfortunate, but the idea behind it is sound. It is the sort of thing that should be enacted now, while we are awake to past errors, and not left until the war is over and we have been hit by the inevitable wave of revul- sion against everything military.
 MT. Wadsworth proposes that all Amer ican youths be given military training for year, and then placed for five years in an organized reserve. Teaching a million youngsters, between 18 and 21, each year, this would give five-million- man nucleus ready for call in any future emergency. This is more than we have been able to get into service in a year and half since the current need for real army became obvious.
 We shouldn't have needed this war to teach us how dangerous it is for rich nation to scorn all protective measures. The fact that Chief of Staff Marshall is behind the WadsWorth proposal suggests that we may have learned our lesson.

Save Tin Cans

The tin can salvage program, originally confined to 36 metropolitan areas, is be- ing extended to another 104 cities be- cause the necessary detinning plant capacity now is available. The program has received excellent support from the communities already covered Their residents have realized that, in addition to the valuable tin recovered in the pro- cess, "tin" cans produce thousands of tons of scrap steel to boost the output of our overburdened steel plants.
 During the current six calendar months the Salvage Division needs IT, 100000 tons of scrap iron and steel Much of this will come from the larger sources. But every householder in the 140 can salvage areas can contribute toward vic- tory if he will save all tin cans, remove wrappings, cut off heads and bottoms flatten them out, and turn them over to whatever collection agency his con- munity may provide.
