Especial to The DemocraD

New York. July 8 - The eighth
annual All-Star football game for
the benefit of the Tribune Fresh
Air Fund will be played in New
York next September as usual. The
New York Herald Tribune, promoter
of the game for the past seven
years, yesterday decided TO carry it
through in spite of wartime limi-
tationS.
Definite arrangements have not
yet been made. However, the game
undoubtedly will be played at the
Polo Grounds as heretofore, and
the New York Giants, outstanding
professional team, will represent the
National Football League as they
have in all previous All-Star games
The team which will be their op-
ponent is beginning to materialize,
though plans for its organization
have not yet been completed. A
survey conducted by the Herald
Tribune indicates that a powerful
All-Star team still can be recruited
In theory at least, it will comprise
men who are not available for the
military service and enlistees who
either have not yet been called to
the service or who are available be-
cause of detached duty.
The Herald Tribune decided that
the tradition of the All-Star game
should be allowed to lapse if it
could be brought into line with the
war effort. The promoters will not
make any effort to influence the re-
lease of those who are definitely
unavailable due to military or ma
val assignment.
fuss Did 1t
Only twice in seven years have
the All-Stars been able to beat the
Giants. In 1910 an moderated team
which was coached by Major fuss
McLaughry, now Of the Marine
Corps, startled everyone by defeat
ing the Giants, 16 to 7.
Last year the Herald Tribune as
signed the job Of collecting an ALL
Star team to the United States
Army which put together an outfit
SOlll)llSlllS tlllloIcQ Hlell ana Jill
GERS which defeated the profession
ais, 16 to O. In all other games the
Giants have beaten the All-Stars.
The series began in 1886, when
the All-Stars succumbed to the
professionals, II to 2. The next year
new plan was adopted. Players
were recruited only from the North
eastern section of the country. A
longer training period was insti-
tuted and a powerful team was de-
veloped by Andy Kerr, celebrated
Colgate coach. This team took

STRAND

Continuing to thrill audiences at
all performances, is the filmusical
sensation of the year, now showing
at the Strand Theater.
This great picture stars your fav-
orite actress and entertainer in the
leading. Lovable Judy Garland out
does herself and reaches a new
"high' in Presenting Lily Mars.
Handsome Van Helm plays oppo-
site her in role which makes him
one of the leading actors on the
screen.
Judy, a small town girl, is intent
upon being an actress and after
trying several schemes to see the
producer, played by Helm, she
finally crashes his party. At an
opportune moment she sings tom
Tom the Piper's Son., assisted by
Bob CROSBY and his orchestra. Here
she makes hit, but still does not
impress Helm, who looks upon her
as pest. After many attempts she
finally wears him down" and she
is given small part in his play.
She proves a success and in the
great finale puts on a show all her
own, assisted by the popular Tom
mey Dorsey and his orchestra.
Judy really goes glamour in this
role. However, she has strong COM
petition, Marta Eggerth, who is also
rivaling for the producers affections.

DODDS SUREC CLAY.
TRACK WILL HELP
HIM, NOT HACC.

Los Angeles, July 8 - U.P) -
Gil Dodds, the Boston Divinity stu
dent who learned to run by mail,
figures he will give Gunder Hagg,
Swedish distance champion, run
for his money over the two-mile
route Saturday.
The pale-faced, long-haired
Swede easily outdistanced Dodds
when they met at Chicago.
But this time, DoddS said today,
conditions are on his side.
For instance" he remarked, 1--WE
run on this clay track before and 1
like it,"
Hagg, who had his second work
out yesterday, said he never before
had run on clay track like that
in the Coliseum on which more
than dozen worlds records have
been made. But he was confident he
would become acclimated by Sat-
urday, when he is expected to set
new two-mile record.
New Mark?
Although the Swedish fireman
doubted his ability to run the two
miller in under nine minutes, mem
bers Of his party believed if the
ideal conditions hold through the
race the champion would break his
own worlds record of 8:478 made
last year in Sweden.
Swedish distance runner Gunder
Hagg changed his training program
today, deciding to remain in Los
Angeles and condition himself for
his tWO-mile race Saturday against
Gil Dodds instead of going to mile
high Lake Arrowhead for his train
ing.
The pale-faced SWede and his
retinue of trainers, masSeurs and
Swedish sports writer's originally
had planned to leave Immediately
for Arrowhead and remain there
until just before race time Satur-
day. His late arrival yesterday,
however, complicated the schedule
and Hagg decided to train for the
two-mile event at the Coliseum and
Bovard Field of hte University of
Southern California.
Hagg and Dodds took the kinks
out of their legs yesterday in
workout together at the Coliseum
track, but the Scandinavian star
still insisted that he would prob
ably run a nine-minute two mile,
seconds slower than his world rec
ord of 8:47.8 which he ran a year
ago. The Coliseum track record for
the two-mile event it 9:Ol.

In 1888 the All-Stars had the

Bill Osmanski. The All-Stars did
most of the forcing but the Giants
won, 10 to 0.
McLaughry's team in 1910 was re-

poorest in All-Star history but it

screen, with Billie Holiday, famous
style singer, as the headline attrac-
ton. Eddie South "the colored an
gel of the violin introduces a new
style all his own. His very popular
orchestra plays for the entire stage
show, and gives you something diff
ferent in music. Other acts are
June North and Company dances,
new and old, the "Jollitiers", radios
favorite vocal and instrumental trio;
Coley Worth and Marcia in From
Bad to Worth" and other big acts.
The stage shows are presented at

getson, j. Pat O'Malley, Queenie
Leonard, Molly Lamont, Gertrude
Nieson and others.
The first screen show is presented
at 1900 noon with the doors of the
theater opening promptly at 11:45.
Coming to the Loew Poll Theater
tomorrow and for a five day en-
gagement are two great hits, both
equally important.
The first feature Young Mr.. Pitt"
stars Robert Donat in the leading
role in the stirring story of yester-
day that tells of today.
We all remember Robert Donat
who was charming at "Mr. Chips"
and is now thrilling as young Mr..
Pitt. This is his first picture
since carrying off the Academy
Award. Those who are familiar
with the stirring life and time of
Pitt the Younger, as he was called,
as we'll as Donat's screen virtu-
osity, will know at once that excit-
ing entertainment is on its way.
Pitts times were as turbulent as
ours, his live analogous to that of
millions of young Americans today.
That's the crux of the story. Sup
porting Donat are such favorites as
Phyllis Calvert, John Mills and
other outstanding favorites.
The second big hit Is my Friend
Flicka" in technicolor, with Roddy
Mcdowell, Preston Foster, and Rita
johnson. This is an unforgettable
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-07-08

the most hilarious ever filmed. The
film not only. boasts some of the
most gorgeous scenes, topnotch ac-
tors and favorites, but also some of
the swingiest, catchiest tunes, swung
in the Garland manner.
Richard Carlson, as the play
wright gives his outstanding per-
Torrance and heads a grand sup
porting cast consisting of Spring
Byington, Connie Gilchrist, Leonid
Kinskey and many others.
The second hit on the program is
a strange story about voodooism and
the living dead. A person described
as living dead is known as a Zom-
bic and here the picture reveals the
tales of Il Walked With a Zombie"
with handsome James Ellison and
lovely Frances Dee in the leading
roles.
Coming to the popular Strand
Theater Saturday is another great
double hit program when we pre-
sent on our screen, "Harrigan's Kid"
with an all star cast of favoriteS,
plus another big hit.
