The approval for construction of the plant is based on five provisions, namely; that the city carry out its progressive program for removal of industrial wastes; 2-the system be operated in accordance with the state health department regula- tions; 3-no sewage or sludge be disposed of so as to create a pulp lie nuisance; ha means be pro- vided for decanting of superatant liquor and the control of the same in the digestion tanks at line of con- struction be submitted to the state health department for approval and 5-whenever required, the city's sysetm shall be modified, enlarged, extended, tc., upon request of the state department of health.
 It is recommended, in view of the appearance of industrial waste in the city's system, that the Mad River interceptor be constructed first and as soon as possible. Pres ence of copper for example, which appears to great extent here, inter- feres with the bacterial action which is necessary for the digestion Of sludge in such a system. The proposed system is of the sedimen- tation-Separate sludge digestion type. The copper also is injurious to the mechanical equipment of such a system. The interceptor is designed to strain and eliminate such factor.

STRAND

MGM's exceptional record for dis covsry of new starring material takes on additional lustre, with per- formances of Frances Clifford, James Craig and young Jackie Butch" Jenkins in Our Vines Have Tender Grapes now at the Strand theater starring Edward c. Robinson and Margaret OBrien.
 Miss Clifford who has finished high school and was just about to start law course at U. c. L. A. wh:n movie scout asked her to make a test is rated one of Californias best all-around photogenic types. Blue eyed and auburn-haired, she has an e-arresting figure and an acting range that has enabled her to do such widely diverse parts as the the ones in The Reluctant Dragon, 'Tarzan Triumphs, Marriage is Q Private Affair and Thrill of Rom ance.'
 James Craig, considered quite a football player in his student days at Rice, drifted from work in the oil fields to jobs as bill collector and carpenters helper before he finally found the right groove. He proved himself young man with a great future in The Human Comedy and was later seen in 'Ksmet,' Lost An- gel, Gentle Annie and Danger ous Partners
 Freckle faced, seven.year- -old Jackie Butch Jenkins followed up his brilliant freshman and sopho- more movie performances in The Human Comedy and National Vel- vet with his new Wisconsin farm child part in Our Vines Have Tend

shoulder as Schuster scampered home with the game winning run.
 The official scorer at first called 1t a single for Hack and a two- base error Greenberg, which made the Tigers No. 1 slugger the goat of the game.
 Injustice
 However, five hours after the game, when the sportswriters pro- tested vigorously about the "injus- tice" of the thing. the official scor- CTS changed their decision, crediting Hack with a double and a run batted in and wiping out the Green berg miscue.
 Grimm gave the lie to the off, cial scorers. His comment on Hack s drive was this:
 I'm going to keep the ground keepers out of left field. I don't want to take any chances of them ironing out any bumps"
 At any rate, they were going into the seventh game of this series and no matter how many fans stand in line, starting at 8 a. m. for tickets there was no question that another record would be added to World series history. For If as many aS 36,ls4 people come into WrigleS Field Wednesday, 1t will mean that 32S,051 fans will have seen the World Series. That was the numne' which saw a seven-gaIne series ir 1926 when the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Yankees.
 And now 1t comes to the payofi in this blue ribbon American sport Facts and figures mean nothing What they do on the diamond to. morrow means everything-anc from the way the lines formed late last night to buy tickets there wasn't any question but what thi' last wartime edition of major league baseball would be the best, flnan' cially and numerically. But aftel the sloppy game yesterday, th' question was whether 1t was majol league baseball or not.

By HARRY SMENNER

However, the spirit Is sometimes late making connections and the most hilarious complications result.

The film tells the en- chanting story of a bellboy who falls in love with princess and is confronted with the problem of leaving the girl he always has adored.
 Miss Lamar, whose most recent pictures were Experiment Peril ous" and "The Conspirators," por- trays the princess, and Robert Walker, following his work in "The Clock" and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" plays the bellboy. June Allyson, as the other girl, has just been seen in Music for Millions" and TWO Girls and @ Sailor" Also in the cast are Rags" Ragland and Agnes Moorehead, Carl Esmond and Warner Anderson.

to that of another hotel suite to be shown in Her Highness and the Bellboy." The script called for a princess suite, and since the art directors did not have to adhere to any real place, they turned their imagination loose and utilized an entire sound stage for this one suite. It is done in "Stylized Em- pire," with huge foyer, living and dining rooms and terrace-at least 50 floors high.
 After devoting his entire screen career to the wearing of uniforms, Robert Walker is due for a slight change in this new film. There is one sequence in the film in which Walker doffs his bellboy suit in favor of an ensemble which has nothing to do with a uniform of any description. For this sequence Robert Walker will appear as @ frogI

Chicago, Oct. g. (UP) - James "Cne-Eyed" Connally, an expert at gate-crashing, found today that turning his specialized knowledge to honest-to goodness work hadn't paid off.
 Connally, reportedly reformed, had a job as World Series usher at Wrigley Field. Knowing all the gate- crashing tricks, he just leered when a man stepped up to the gate and Identified himself as P. K. Wrigley, Jr., owner of the park.
 That's for the birds," said the totally unimpressed Connally, who considered the mans effort to see the Series free an amateur try at best.
 But the "gate-crasher" was Wrig- ley.

able to iron out his quarrel with Republic and get back before lhA cameras without any delay. Not only have his westerns always been top~ notch entertainment, but they're worth more in the battle against juvenile delinquency than ell the screen preachments that have been turned out to date. Autry's formula is not complicated at all. He merely insists that in every one of his films, virtue must be rewarded and vice punished. He sees to 1t that both the plots and the dialoguge are abso- lutely free from suggestive words and situations. And last, but cer- tainly not least, he comports himself off-screen in a manner that makes him a model for his fans to follow. If more stars were like him, Holly wood might have less reason to re- proach itself.
 Another star I'm anxious to see back on the screen is Jean Arthur, who went into voluntary retire. ment last year. If Hollywood has ever had a comedienne to top her, can't remember who 1t was-and this strike-torn, jlttery country needs her Screwy brand of laugh- making right now like Q sick man needs a doctor. Miss Arthur's Tea- sons for shelving her career were entirely personal. She's more of q recluse than Greta Garbo. Knowing her strange temperament, can well believe that she was sincere in her desire to escape from the nneligfik --buft I've never known an actress who loved solitude enough to cling to 1t If her fans were insistent on her return. think it's high time for those of us who want Jean Arthur back to say so-and say it loud enough to be heard.

 Hollywood, Oct. 9-It's ironic how local censorship (the only kind real- ly operative in the United States where movies are concerned) back fires in about nine instances out of ten. Consider for example the case of "The Southerner," which was banned by the local censors of Mem- phis, Tennessee, because they con- sidered that 1t misrepresented, in degrogatory fashion, life in the South.
 Whern the picture opened in Los Angeles last week, every newspaper ad and billboard announced, in colossal type: Memphis Banned It ---The Picture That Aroused Na- tionwide Controversy"
 Admittedly such advertising, cal- culated to appeal to the public lust for sensationalism, was In ex- ceedingly poor taste. But who ever suspected of Hol wood adhering to the results of good taste in laying out an ad campaign2 The fact remains that the advertising was effective; 1t brought people to the boxoffice in droves. It's done the same wherever the picture has played, according to company spokesmen.
 The chief irony lies in the fact that the scissors weilders of Mem" phis were undoubtedly spurred to their action by devotion to the best interests of the South. They believed that "The Southerner" would put Dixie in a bad light So, with a trurly remarkable skill, they hurled the boomerang that guaranteed the derogatory film the greatest possible audiencel
 Speaking of irony, I'm reminded of the case of Doris Dudley and her small son, who's known profession ally as Butch" Jenkins. Miss Dud- ley, who had a brief whirl in the cin- ematic spotlight about ten years ago, returned to Hollywood in i941 with a great ambition, and grave worry. The ambition was to stage a come- back and make herself movie star; the worry was the support of Butch" and his brother (two years older) during the interval that would elapse before she started to harvest pay cheeks. Today the tot she worried about is one of the big gest juvenile money-makerS; his mas ambitions for Q screen career appear to be permanently snelved.
 
 Los Angeles newspapers report that the citys truancy officers are working overtime because of an alarming increase in the number of 'teen-ased girls who are playing hockey this season. I don't know how to get the kids back in school, but l can suggest an eXpedient that should ease the labors of the truant officers. Why don't they just trail Frank sinatra, Rick Haynes and Van Johnson?
 I'm delighted to see Gene Autry back in civvieS, and I hope he'll be
