TEXAS" I5 FINE OUTDOOR DRAMA
 SOON AT CAPITOL
Great Western Picture Will Open Here Tomor-
 row Evening

As big as the mighty State it glorifies, Columbia's breathtaking new drama of the old West, Texas" opens tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre with William Hold en, Claire Trevor and Glenn Ford starred. A savage saga of lawless frontiers, of gun-smoking thrills and hoof- f-thundering action, "Tex- as' has been accorded an enthusi- astic reception wherever it has been shown.
 Texas" is said to be an out standing example of what may be done by the film industry when every phase of production, casting and story combines to provide per feet entertainment All the great action pictures of the past, rolled into one, probably would fail in comparison to the new films whirl- ing tumult of flashing bullets, crashing herds, smashing fists and clashing hearts.
 A motion picture said to move with the speed of blazing bullet, Texas" describes that historic per- iod in Americas development when the Kansas Pacific Railroad finally reached Abilene, Kansas, and Texas cattlemen battled their way through 1000 miles of bandit-ridden country to deliver to the railhead their beef on the hoof Texas" describes, as well, the stirring struggles of reck- less men and fearless women to carve life, love and fortune out of the newly-won frontier.

not only to deny to us, but to use as bases for offensive operations against our positions which cover a line of communication to Aus tralia and New Zealand.
 Surprised Enemy
 "An initial surprise was effective and planned landings were accom- plished The enemy counter-at- tackled rapidly and with vigor and heavy fighting still is in progress.
 Our operating forces are em- ploying all available communica- tions to conduct operations, so our information is incomplete, but it appears that we have at least one cruiser sunk, two crusers, two de- stroyers and one transport dam aged.
 This operation in the Tulagi area is significant in that it marks our first assumption of the initia- tive and of the offensive. All pre- vious operations in the Pacific, however successful. have been es- sentially defensive.
 Complicated Operations
 Tt should be understood that the operation now under way is one of the most complicated and  difficult in warfare and consider able losses as such are inherent. Any offensive operation must be expected to pay the price for hardwon experience which is es- sential for the attainment of far reaching results"

He has been an able, conscientious, trustworthy and scrupulouSly honest public official with whom 1t has been a great privilege to have been associated.
 His interest in municipal affairs and particularly financial matters has brought @ brilliant and pains. taking mind to the consideration of our problems. The city of Water bury will benefit for years to come as 6 result Of his public service.
 In behalf of our employees and myself, ali of whom have come to love Tom Conlon for his quiet, hon. est and unasSuming ways, express our sincere sorrow in the death not only of Q capable and devoted fel. low-employc, but also very dear friend.

STRAND

For entertainment at its zenith, be sure to visit the Strand theater this week, where goth Century Fox is presenting Rafael Sabatini's "The Black Swan" This Technicolor ad- venture triumps, starring Tyrone Power and Maureen OHara, is far and away the most outstanding film of its type the screen has seen this or any other season.
 Picture, if you will, the entertain ment dish that is served. Tyrone Power. in our book is one of the finest of screen actors by virtue of his ability to do anything and everything extremely well, is in a role that is hand tailored for him. Paired with him in the romance that is smoothly superimposed over the basic adventure story is creamy complexioned, gorgeously appor- toned Maureen O'Hara. Maureen's spirited, damsel in the film, and 1t takes a great deal of masterful wooing by the das',ing buccaneer before she's won over.
 This is in addition to the com- polling action that dominates the film all the way through.
 In addition to Power and Miss o. Hara, the film boasts such stellar names as Laird Cregar, Thomas Mitchell and George Sanders.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Over My Dead Body with Milton Berle and Mary Beth Hughes.
 Thursday night an extra midnite performance will be given of the above show. There will be absolute ly no raise in prices.
