STATE

If you intend to see the smash
double unit show currently at War
ner's State Theater you'll have to
hurry as performances tomorrow
evening positively conclude its en-
gagement. The headliner is that
twin tuneful musical private
Buckaroo" starring Harry James
and his orchestra and the Andrews
Sisters with a celebrated cast Of
screen stars. On the same show is
Marlene Dietrich and Fred Mac
Murray in 1.-THE Lady Is willing"
And then starting Wednesday the
State will usher in another swell
entertainment treat with 1.-THE Big
Shot" starring Humphrey Bogart
as the top attraction.
1.-THE Big Shot" has a story and
star combination that make for
sure-fire entertainment.
Tough Is a meek word to describe
the type Of role played by Bogart
in this film, and only he could do
full justice to 1t, according to adj
vance reports. He ducks the police
like a plague and tries to give equal
attention to his former cohorts, but
the effort is useless.
In the feminine lead Is q new
conner to the screen, lovely blonde
Irene Manning, a girl whose dra-
matte ability coupled with her fine
voice, although she doesn't sing In
this film, is sure ticket to screen
success.
1.-THE Big Shot" has g. fine sup
porting cast made up of Richard
Travis, Susan Peters, Chick Chand-
Ter, Howard da Silva and many
more.
And for your further enjoyment
the management will present "Sing
Your Worries Away" a hot-shot
musical that will keep you laugh
ing from start to finish. Favorites
from stage, screen and radio portray
the principal roles in the comedy
hit. Foremost among them is Alvine
Rey, famous band leader who
proves that swing can be both solid
and sweet, mad his orchestra; the
King Sisters, Bert Lair, Buddy Eb-
sen, June Havoc and Patsy Kelly.

DISPLAYS TEN.
GOOD FELLOWS.
But All Of 100 Funmakers
With Ringing Circus
Rate That Term

It's always fair weather when
good fellows get together-so ran
NE old song land that reminds one
Of the fact that, weather notwith-
standing, there are 100 regular fell
DowS among the. 100 clowns with
HE Ringing Bros. and Barnum g.
Bailey Circus, coming to Waterbury,
Sat-, July 4, with its big top FASH
1Oned from deep blue canvas.
Clowns are almost invariably
good fellows. They must have q
keen sense Of humor, naturally, and
they are gregarious and convivial.
That, with loyalty to the show and
10 one another, makes for pretty
good fellow; in fact, 1t makes for q
mighty fine fellow.
There are clowns with The
Greatest Show on Earth who dine
with the leaders in Washington,
New York, Boston and other cities.
It is surprising to some people that
the great and the near great delight
In entertaining the clowns, but 1t is
not at all remarkable to anyone who
knows the funsters. They are pre-
sentable chaps who are busting
with fascinating stories Of a life
that still remains mysterious to lay
men. Clowns who have toured the
world, who have met the notableS Of
many lands, have stories to tell, and
they know how to tell them.
The clowns, together with a null
titude Of sensational new features
and innovations appear on this
seasons gigantic program, which
presents eight hundred circus stars
Of international eminence.
The great new Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Circus Of
1912, further restyle by Norman
Bel Geddes, world-celeb de-
signer, features the most gorgeous
Buper-spectacle in big top history.
This surprisingly magnificent new
pageant was created by Mr.. Geddes
and produced at cost Of 100000.
Performances in the worlds
largest tent, now brilliant blue with
! red, white and blue side walls and
comfortably air conditioned, will
commence at 2:15 and BIS p. m.
The doors will open at and z
P. M. to permit leisurely inspection
Of the mammoth, redesigned men
agerie Of more than a thousand rare
animals, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Gargantua the Great, famous giant
gorillas.
Hundreds Of splendid blue blooded
equine aristocratS in the great new
horse fair tent will be on view be-
fore the beginning Of the main per-

triotic moves, which in reality Is
nothing but selfish motive to IA

A proposed fat salvage campaign
will give housewives a chance to re-
ceive financial benefit for their eff
forts in savings. I note too, in some
New York stores, that old talking
machine records are eXchangeable,
even though they may be cracked
or warped, on the basis of one war
savings stamp for every four discs.
Allowances Of that kind indicate
salvaged materials will be handled
with care they deserve. The cash
equivalent paid may guarantee that
the salvage will get back into the
production lines.
Having an opportunity to observe
considerable work of this type I am
convinced that if central repositories
are established and specific tasks
assigned Boy and Girl Scouts and
Campfire Girls, there would be a
tremendous amount Of tin, rubber,
brass, copper, rags, paper and fats
turned in for patriotic reasons. They
want to serve. They seek respon-

On New York's entertainment side
there is a first time worth noting.
This week inaugurated a new show
sensation consisting of a musical
comedy on roller skates that has
been presented in the famous Ma
olson Square Garden and which We
predict will take the road for ap-
pearances elsewhere.
1t has a cast approximately of
ninety people, headed by Gloria
Nord, Lucille Page and Buster West.
The show has twenty seven novel
acts and chorus named "glamor-
GUS rollerettes" on glistening wheels
These performers are as nimble as
many that perform on ice skates and
twirl with fascinating speed. Some
do acrobatics, that is like risking
death in each performance. The
rhythmic numbers are as graceful
as the most finished ballet.
The popularity of "Priorities Of
1892, "Top Notchers" and "Claudia"
at less than half the higher priced
stage shows in the vicinity of Times
Square indicates that New York is
being visited by lot Of people who
count the cost before setting out on
a night of adventure.
Hotels continue to do a tremend-
0Ts business, particularly over week.
ends. Business apparently increased
substantially since room rates adj
vanced generally. Food prices too,
are spiralling upwards either on the
menu or by eliminations Of some Of
the side dishes that formerly were
included at one stipulated charge.
Grand Central Station and Penn
sylvania depot" are pleasant sights
to observe since the curtailment Of
gasoline and rubber. Crowds are
heavier every day. There Is friend
ly atmosphere in the air. Bewild-
cred soldiers, sailors and civilians
ask questions from the nearest per-
son. 1t is not unusual to see some
young couple, the man in uniform,
the girl well-dressed waiting for
train to separate them,-each asleep
from sheer exhaustion of sight-see-
ing, their tell-tale souvenirs piled
beside them ON the extra wide mar
BILE settees near outgoing train en-

It Is a source of constant wonder
how many trains such people miss,
for most OF them leave at intervals
Of half hour or SO. Some dozers go
by their suburban station stops
every day though a willing train
crew do their best to wake up those
they recognize who have arrived at
their destinations. (Me iTlcluded)

Neckties Are Out

A class of women was being given
instruction regarding first aid in
connection with civilian defense.
A local medic had spent hours show
ing them how bandages and tourni-
quets should be applied to injured
persons.
Remember, in order to control
hemorrhage the pressure of the
tourniquet must always be applied
between the cut and the heart, "
he said in conclusion. Then to as
sure himself that the lesson had
been thoroughly understood, he be-
gan asking questions.
Suppose one has cut in the
forearm, where would you apply the
tourniquet?"
Between the shoulder and the
elbow" one lady replied
Quite right. But suppose the vic
| tim is bleeding from the head, due
to a fractured skull?"

amateur nurses stumped. But fl

Gently said that practically all fires
could be extinguished with a glass
of water at the beginning. The great,

are caused largely by delay in dis

OF everyone-housewife, executive,

may seem. promptly eliminated. Any

War Bond Sales
Reach Record Figure

In July, War Bond sales not
counting the sale Of War Stamps
reached the record figure of 5000,
100000. June sales, by way Of
comparison, totaled $4,000, 600.
Much Of the credit for that great in
crease must be laid squarely at the
door of American retailers, whose

drive started with a bang in July.
The participating retailers include
both chains and independents. They
include stores dealing in food, hard
ware, furniture, drygoods, drugs,
shoes, clothing and everything else
that merchants sell. They include
stores in great cities, and others

in short, American merchants of all
kinds-and American merchandising
