greatest musical since movies were

greatest musical since movies were born.
 With fifteen songs featured, many of them favorite blues numbers, the new musical should be jubilee of tive for localities.
 From advance reports there is one sensational sequence in which Bing Crosby sings Melancholy Baby" as lullaby for cute little Carolyn Lee. In this saga of how blues music fought for place in American Jazz music, Crosby is a clarinetist and singer, who forms the first a1l-white band, the Basin Street Hot Shot, to play Dixieland music.
 It is particularly pleasing to find the cast of Birth Of The Blues" people by top-notch entertainers, who can depend upon to do fine jobs, as they have done in the past, With this array of talent to tell the melodious story of the rise of blues music, Birth of the Blues" is sure to turn out to be one of the best pieces of film entertainment to hit this town in a long time.
 Among The Living" with Albert Dekker, Susan Hayward, Frances Farmer and Harry Carey is the Sec~ ond big hit of the program.

Cocoa Kid Rated
 2-1 Favorite Over Eddie Dolan|

New Haven, Jan, i2 - The iastie experts both here and in New Yosk have made the Coco.Ktd a 2 to | favorite over Irish Eddie Dolan, Wa terbury idol. for the l2-round Con- necticut welterweight title fight at the Arena on next "Wednesday night But, that hasn't bothered EadieS many Waterbury rooters, for they are confident the frishman can take the Puerto Riean Hash who has been fighting out of New Haven for eight years.
 And, there's something to the stand of the Waterbury DelaA group. Eddie hasn't lost a fight in two years, and he always goes best against the top-notehefs,
 Both Good Boxers
 Coco has always had the aavan. tage against most of his opponents through his ability to box, In Dolan he meets one of the classiest i4s- pounders in the business, and when Dolan has to, he can punch a bit himself. Thus, the smart boys at Stillman's gym in New York, and the experts here in New Haven, may find themselves to be all wrong when the final gun is fired Wednes- day night.
 Johnny Compo, New Haven fea- ther-weight, will face Willie Roach, Wilmington, Del, in the semi-final of eight rounds.
 Tony Falco, undefeated welter- weight from Middletown, will square off against Mel Serratta, full. blooded Sioux Indian, in a special six-rounder.
 Bobby O'Brien, Hartford Celtic better, takes on Joey Wasniek, New Haven featherweight, in one four, and Sonny Horne, Niles, O., will bat. tie Patsy Perrone, formerly of New Jersey, now fighting out of Bridge port.
