STRAND

The sensational double thrill show now in its third successful day at the Strand Is eliciting many Ooh" and Ans" as ''The Terror" and "Mys- tery of Room 13" are respectively presented on the screen here, in- deed, are two of the finest crime dramas, Edgar Wallace ever wrote. Strange tunes issuing from an un- played organ, ghosts floating noise lessly through the room and eerie voices speaking out of nowhere are some of the spooky highlights of this spine chilling program that would even frighten 'spook. The management, anticipating the ef- fleets of this horror show, has made necessary provisions to accommodate patrons who are unable to with stand the series of shocks, by plac- ing at their disposal smelling salts, spirits of ammonia and other nec- essary requisites to restore them to their normal sense of being. The continuation of a ten year old crime wave is the dramatic substance of ''The Terror" The story opens after Connors and Marks are released from prison and are planning their vengeance upon the terror, whose double crossing had been responsible for their conviction. The terror, after spreading continuous terror among helpless populace is fin- ally tracked down to reputedly haunted house. The following events freeze the marrow in ones bones as weird manifestations in the haunted house are unfolded on the screen.

M The Local T'heate7:S
STATE

Performances tomorrow evening at the air conditioned State theater conclude the engagements of "The Mayor Of 44th Street" starring George Murphy and Anne Shirley and featuring Freddy Martin and his orchestra; also "The Wife Takes A Flyer" co-starring Joan Bennett and Franchot Tone.
 Starting Wednesday the State will usher in another deluxe double bill with the sensational film "The Gay Sisters" starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent and Geraldine Fitz- gerald as the headliner.
 Miss Stanwyck portraying the eld- est of the three Gaylord sisters, a sometimes fierce, brusque and level headed person who thinks that sen- timent is silly emotion, turns in a splendid performance according to advance reports.
 Her two sisters, the other mem bers of the Gaylord family the trio was dubbed by neWSpapermen, "The Gay Sisters" are played by Geral- dine Fitzgerald and Nancy Coleman. Gig Young, dramatic, breezy new conner to the screen makes his debut in the film as a young artist, and critics have acclaimed him as a sen- sation. George Brent, in his usual casual, but at the same time force full manner, plays the role of a civil engineer who becomes millionaire, and also is the reason Ewhy the Gay sisters are held practically penni- less.
 Brent, through 8 series of com plicated legal htigations has man. aged to tie up the will left by Penn Gaylord when he was killed in World War I. His motive is quite obvious. He wants to get hold of the Gaylord property and build a vast project of his own on 1t. But 1t has always been the law of the Gaylords never to sell the land and for Bar bara there is more than just an obvious creed behind the words; for Brent's relationship to Barbara goes further than that of two legal an- tagonists. St is thing that makes the gloomy Gaylord house place of whispers-a place that encourages roumors and speculation from all quarters until the time when the terrible scandal can no longer be kept under cover and the true, ex- citing story breaks on the front page of every newspaper In the country.
 The brilliant supporting cast is made up of such popular players as Donald Crisp, Gene Lockhart, Larry Simms and Donald Woods.
 Spy Ship" will be the second big hit of the program and features Craig Steven and Irene Manning.

POLES

The Andrews Sisters, Patty, Max enc and La Verne, singing the song hits that have made them the na- tion's leading trio, will open a two- day personal appearance engage ment on Wednesday at the popular Loew Poli Theater, and they will be seen for five performances daily.
 Featured in such motion pictures as Buck Privates," "In The Navy" and Hold That Ghost" the An drews sisters are second only to Bing Crosby in record sales for the. year of 1941. Besides their records, and aside from radio, screen and stage, they are credited with insuring the success of almost every song they introduce, 8 tribute to their tre- mendous popularity.
 On the screen will be the mys- tery-comedy 'The Falcon Takes Over", featuring George Sanders and Lynn Bari at the head of a grand cast.
 Today and tomorrow will afford you your last opportunities to see the fine double smash hit bill now being presented on the Loew Poli screen, this program comprised of the new MGM dramatic hit, Cross roads, co-starring, together for the first time, William Powell and Hedy Lamar with Felix Bressart, Claire Trevor and Basil Rathbone. The second hit is Remember Pearl Har- bor", with Alan Curtis topping a cast of favorites.
 At last it's here-the picture all Waterbury has been breathlessly awaiting-"Mrs. Miniver," opens a five day engagement Friday at Loew's Poli. Co-starring Greer Gar son and Walter Pidgeon, Mrs. Min iver", is a beautiful story of high courage, devotion and abiding faith. It is the moving drama of an Eng fish woman of the middle classes and her family, facing the terrors of war on the home front and carrying on life with valor in the face of air raids, attacks, grief and peril.
 There will be a surrounding pro- gram of selected shorts.

Day Care, Schools

Children put into day nurseries
by mothers working in war indus
try will be protected by health and
welfare safeguards in New York
state through statewide regulations
recently adopted.
The regulations, made by the
state board Of social welfare, re-
quire that persons and agencies Civ
ing nursery care to three or more
children obtain a permit from the
state department of social welfare
and maintain definite standards. In
providing this safeguard the New
York state board is acting in line
with current recommendation of
the United States children's bureau,
the American Public Welfare asso-
citation said.
Close relatives and nursery
schools registered with the state de-
partment of education are excepted
from the ruling. New York city
day nurseries also are exempt, since
they are covered under the munich
pal sanitary code.

California First

The gold in "them thar hills of
Colorado called many fortune hunt
ers to the West in the quest for
great riches, but there was also
wealth to be found in the soil
wealth that was to outlive the gold
rush. Peter Magnes, a European
immigrant, prophesied in 1865, eff
we had beet sugar factories in
Colorado, I imagine Colorado farm
ers would produce more gold than
all the mines in the mountains. /" To-
day the yearly output of the beet
sugar industry in the West has
many times the value of all the
gold, silver and precious metals
taken from the mountains. Colo
RADIO is second only to California in
production of sugar beets. Produc-
ton in 1871 in Colorado was 5,987, $40

Your Own Blackout Light
Can Be Easily Assembled

Advice on how to devise effective
lights during blackouts was given
by D. L. Markle, professor of cleo
trical engineering at the Pennsyl-
vania State college, who has just
completed laboratory tests of such
lights.
IA blackout light for use both
indoors and outdoors can be easily
assembled" Professor Markle said.
Simply cover the glass of two
cell fashlight of the non-focusing
type, fitted with 3.8 volt bulb, with
two thicknesses of onion skin paper.
This is the kind of lamp usually
used with three-cell type fiashlight.
Covering the glass with onion
skin lowers the intensity of the light
by diffusion so that pronounced
bright spot does not exist. The
intensity of illumination by this as
sembly is approximately 21s times
full moonlight on surface two feet
from the flashlight."
Such light is favorable for See
ing nearby but will not be easily de-
tCCtCQ llOtil q POlIlLC0
out. If used outdoors by pedestrians,
the light will not be reflected from
street surfaces in sufficient quantity
to be seen from any considerable
height.
cit must be remembered that no
light source should be pointed up
ward, however," Professor Markle
warned. "For use outdoors a visor
made of cardboard tubing or other
suitable material will provide adj
ditional safety from detection"
Professor Markle called attention
to the fact that the war department
tests demonstrated that blue lights
are more easily seen from the air
and less useful on the ground than
any other color. Even red, If inn
properly used, may betray the .in-
stallation it is designed to conceal.
In the majority of cases, they found,
low intensity white light is more
suitable for blackout illumination.

Special Wrapping for
Bread. Cake. Butter

More than 75,OOO,0 600 pounds Of
butter will be wrapped III specially
impregnated parchment paper dur
ing the current year to protect it
from losses due to mold
Great quantities Of butter are ex-
pected to be saved from spoilage as
result, thus helping to conserve
stocks.
Mold rarely can be recognized in
butter except by an "off" taste,
according to food experts. Its growth
can be retarded even in. warm
weather, however, by wrapping the
butter in paper treated with a mold
inhibition. The baking industry also
is attacking the mold problem in
baked goods by Incorporating mold
retardents in increasing quantities
of bread, pies, and cakes.
1t is estimated that nearly two
billion loaves of bread will be pro-
tected this year.
