Lake Compounce starts Its early season activities Saturday, April l, with the opening of the roller Skat- ing rink. For the present, skating sessions will be held each week on Thursday and Saturday nights, Sunday afternoon and evening. Fred Hagedorn, popular Hartford organ ist, who played at Compounce last summer, has been engaged again for the coming season.
 The latest acquisition to Lake Compounce, one that has aroused great deal of public interest throughout the state, is the famous Gillette Railroad. Designed and built by the late William Gillette, noted Shakespearean actor and playwright, the little railroad was purchased from the estate last fall and moved to Compounce. There it was subsequently, installed com- pletely encircling the lake, follow ing the road for the most part, yet in few places trestled over the water, providing for it setting un- surpassed in scenic beauty. The equipment, which consists of two locomotives. one steam, the other electric, two Pullman coaches and a serpentine car is being completely overhauled and will be ready for public participation early in May.

The expertly seemed battle sequences, the tense dramatic interludes, the moments of tense suspense all combine to round out a service picture which ranks among the most spectacular ever filmed in Hollywood. The subject matter of the Fighting Seabees" was a splendid choice on the part of the producers of this action drama.

STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the hilari- ous comedy ''The Miracle of Nor gan's Creek" co-starring Eddie Bracken and Betty Hutton.
 The film is full of unusual twists and situations with the most iilari- ously funny surprise finish imagin- able.
 Brought to the screen by Preston Sturges, who trade mark is original ity and who contributed such hits to the screen as '"The Lady Eve" and The Great McGinty," '"The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" is the funniest picture of the year.
 Written and directed by Preston Sturges, whose trade mark is orig inality and who contributed such hits to the screen as "Ihe Lady Eve" and "The Great McGinty," "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" abounds in unusual situations, each funrier than the other and almost all with just enough pathoS to heighten their humor.
 For the first time in their screen lives Bracken and Betty Hutton have their talents directed in channels that combine their comic abilities with a hitherto undiscovered flair for straight dramatics. To Preston Sturges must go not only credit for brilliant screen story and uni- que direction, but credit. as we'll for having had the foresight to assign them the roles of Norval Jones and Trudy Kockenlocker (ac- tuallyD.
 The story starts out simply enough but it doesn't stay that way long. IL tells of Trudy's difficulties with her strict, policeman father, William Demarest. who forbids her to at- tend a dance being run for soldiers in Morgan's Creeek. Trudy pre- tends to keep a date with her eager, civilian sweetheart, Norval; actual ly she makes the meek Norval go to the movies alone while she trotS of by herself to help enter tain the soldier boys.
