M T,he Local T'heaterS
STATE

A colorful, musical fun-film is the new technicolor hit Happy Go Lucky" which opened its four day engagement at Warmers State theater yesterday with capacity at- tendance at all performances.
 The picture sparkles with de- lightful performances by Mary Mar tin, Dick Powell, Betty Hutton, Ed- die Bracken ando Rudy Vallee, all of whom lend their many talents to making Happy Go Lucky the cheery, tuneful entertainment gem 1t it.
 The story of the offering concerns the efforts of penniless Mary Mar tin to land millionaire Rudy Vallee in which endeavor she is assisted by beachcombers Dick Powell and Eddie Bracken, and dynamic Betty Hutton. Of course, all the well-laid plans of ensnarement go by the boards when Mary and Powell fall in love, but the complications pre- ceding the final fade-out are ex- tremely funny and entertaining.
 The accent of the film is on col ors, laughter and music, all of which are most welcome at any time, but especially today. There's a carefree vacation feeling about the picture which you're sure to find very invigorating. its gayety is in- fectious and we've a hunch you'll leave the State theater as refreshed and relaxed as though you yourself had taken the Caribbean trip which proved so eventful for Mary Martin and Betty Hutton.

PRO FOOTBALL
 TEAM OWNERS
 HOPE FOR BEST
Pick Future Players From 1000 COlIegians; Player
 Limit Down to 25

NOMAsC0 GkCas 0e1W OUHtGApOMUSutI
 Chicago, April e.-(UP)-The ma. tional football league holds its an. nual draft meeting today.
 On giant blackboards in a smoke- filled hotel conference room were posted the names of approximately 1000 college 3ridders and by night fall 200 of them will be selected by pro grid teams.
 Some club owners claim the draft is mere formality the league is going through to establish future negotiating rights, but others main- tained the size of the posted list inc dicated that availability might greatly influence the choice of some clubs which already have had their rosters riddled by military service calls.
 In a normal year the number of draft prospects offered the club owners and coaches is only 400 However the need for athletic man. power to keep the pro circuit oper- ating influenced the officials to exc pand the list.
 Can't Get Him
 Althoguh he's already in the Ma rines, coaches were unanimous in the belief that Frankie Sinkwich, the top star of Georgia's Rose Bowl eleven, would be the No. player on the draft list.
 Prior to she draft the pro owners took steps to solve two of their war time problems, manpower and transportation.
 They voted to reduce the player limit from B to 25. The free substi. tuition rule, which has been in ef- feet in the college code for the past two seasons, also was adopted.
 In an effort to cut travel they voted for lat home" training camps. Detroit, Green Bay, Brooklyn, lew York and the Chicago Cardinals will do their preseason conditioning in their own parks, Pittsburgh either at home or at Hershey, Pa, Phila- delphia within a radius of 100 miles of the city. the Chicago Bears at Delafield. Wis, and Washington at home or at San Diego, Cal.

STRAND

'The Purple V" with John Archer and Mary Mcleod and ''Man Trap" with Lloyd Corrigan and Dorothy Lovett comprise the two big feat ures at the Strand Theater in Wa terbury. You have probably seen, many-a-time different pictures with the same plot. But here are two pictures with plots - all their own. For instance = 'The Purple V" tells the story of an American flyer in the RAF who has been shot down by a German and after bailing out of his plane and landing safely finds valuable papers on a dead pilot a few yards off. The papers are of utmost importance to Hitler but the flyer wants to take them to England and the Military Intell- gence. Thus begins the plot for the first different" picture.
 The second big hit, Man Trap" tells of a criminologist who is about 75 years old and tries to solve a murder the police can't even get a clue on. At his home he writes as well as practices crime detecting and has become well known. So, there fore, he works on the case of noth- ing less than murder. robbery. and a few other unimportant crimes. By no means is the picture Man Trap a comedy. It just tells the facts and findings of crime. But to all the friends of the criminologiSt he is planning for the murderer a Man Trap.
 Both these pictures-'The Purple V" and Man Trap" will be shown on the screen four times a day until Friday evening when a positive conclusion comes of their showing.

The bugle calls the bang-tails to the post The neghins nags prance proudly past the stand. The two-buck windows to a mob play host. The gate is sprungl They're ofi Amt nature grand9 Now fades the glimmerng landscape on the sight As round the turn the straining horses wind While my poor beetle wheels his droninR flight Far in the van, a good ten lengths behind Far from the madding throngs ignoble strife The system player now can daily stray And probe the secrets of the softer life
 By sending hard-earned tenners on their way Let not Ambition mock his useless toll His homey joys and destiny obscure As form sheets he pores OCT by midnight ol- Those short and simple annals of the poor Nor you, ye proud, impute to him the fault Of caring naught about his country's plight. Of food he hardly takes grain of salt
 And gas he saves by walking home each night. Quite conscious of the nations greatest need He'll stop of daily at the tracks corral And note how doth it now improve the breed, factor so important to morale. Inflatons perils worry him no end
 And so his store of folding dough he loots And daily now wad of 1t he'll send
 On one-way journeys through the pari-mutes week devoid of racing just gone by,
 Has taken the form player of the dole And given him bankroll which, poor guy Now in his brooches pocket burns hole Full many deuce so crinkly crisp and green, Is now extracted from its hidden lair Full many fin is taken from a jean
