success story told on the Republic studio lot.
 In happened because of hat.
 Leonard Slye was singing with 8 group of musicians specializing in western music and known as the Pianeers. One afternoon on the way to a radio station where the Pian-. eers was rehearsing broadcast he stopped in a Hollywood store which specializes in the western gear worn by screen cowboys. He wanted to buy a new Stetson. While he waited for the clerk, he overheard another customer say Republic was looking for a cowboy personality. Leonard Slye forgot about the hat. He left the store and drove to Republic Studios.
 There he met an executive of the. studio with whom he had slight acquaintance, went up to him and said, T hear you're looking for a singing cowboy" "Hum," he said, T hadn't thought of you, but come on to my office"
 The courageous young man got his guitar from the car and sang "Tumplin' TumbleweedS."
 When the song ended-it was also the end of Leonard Slye. That day Rogers, slin, blue-eyed singer who rides a horse as though he is part of the animal itself, who croons a western ballad so audiences to home humrning it, came into exis- tence. It is now at the Strand Theatre.

Buffalo Bills rife is going West.
 One of the famous Winning of the West" rifles which Col. Will liam F. Cody used in making his world-famous reputation as a crackshot will be fired again by another great contemporary Amer ican marksman at the Buffalo Bill Centennial.
 This historic rife will be used from July twenty-third to the twenty seventh in a series of commemora- tive shooting exhibition by Herb Parsons during the annual Cheyen- ne Frontier Days Radeo which this year will celebrate the Tooth anni- verSary of the birth of Americas greater hunter, scout, and plains man who graduated from an ex- press rider to the best known markham of his day.
 The rifle, although known to the Vests early plainslnen as the Model 73, was one of the most significant developments of it's time. It combined the lever-action method of rapid fire and the center fire cartridge, The rifle not only gave western plainsmen the means to cope the wild territory for which they were fighting, but established the winchester"
 It is interesting to note that as a Buffalo hunter, Col. William F. Cody's biggest seasons kill was

Circus ArriUes for
 Week s Engagement
Zindah Grotto Resumes Sponsorship Annual Benefit Show; Official Opening At Municipal Stadium Tonight

Today is the day and tonight the big night at Municipal Stadium on Watertown Avenue. It's circus day and Hamid & Mortons' great congress of international circus stars and champions of the arena begins a full weeks engagement at the Stadium under the sponsorship of Zindah Grotto, coming here from Cleveland, Ohio. Proceeds of the exhibition circus will go to the Grot- tos famous Keep Elm Smoking Fund" for local servicemen still in the armed forces and other Grotto charities.
 Following tonights gala opening performance, at which Mayor John s. Monagan will preside, there will be two complete circus perform ances daily through Saturday at 3 and. P. M.
 All day yesterday circus rousta- bouts were busy erecting the giant stage on which the trained animal acts will be presented and the high rigging to be used by the acrobats and aerialists. The whole stadium has taken on an atmosphere rem iniscent of "the big top" and the circus exposition midway is gay with booths, banners, and enticing displays of the many wonders to be enjoyed while the circus is in town.
 First Since Pearl HarbOr
 This years show is the most pre- tentious the Grotto has brought to Waterbury and the first since the start of World War II when the shows were discontinued. It will be gala week with members of Zin- dah Grotto acting as ticket sellers, circus bankers, conceSsionaires, ush- CTS, roustabouts and performing the hundred and one other tasks to the perfect presentation of the big show.
 This will be the only circus Wa terbury circus fans and those in nearby towns will have the oppor- tunity of seeing this year and a capacity attendance is expected at each performance.
 The show is replete with many trained animal acts, clowns galore, including Slivers Johnson and his crazy automobile. There will be aerialsts, trapeze artists, daredevil acrobats, contortionists, and many other circus star acts to amuse and delight circus fans of all ages.
 Special Matinees
 Schoolchildren's matinees will be held daily Tuesday through Sat- urday at 3 P. M. when students of the local public and parochial schools will be guests of Zindah Grotto. The Grotto Safety Patrol" will be on hand to watch over the young circus fans while they are in the stadium and see that they get started for home safely when the show is over.
 Taking tip from previous expe- rience, fans will be acting wisely in attending the circus during the early part of the week as it will be recalled the last time the circus played Waterbury the last two days performances were rained out and many fans were disappointed who waited until the last minute.

HOLLYWOOD JUNE A-Im in- terested by a trade paper report that Casey Robinson and Ben Be- geaus may have cause to cancel plans for their proposed picture, ''The Life and Loves of Anna Paw Iowa." because they can't sign a leading man of sufficient box-office stature to suit United Artists bos- ses. UA heads, the story states, feel that Toumanova, slated for the ti- tie role. is mot well enough estab- lished with movie fans" to carry the load alone.
 Granting that Toumanova iS cer- tainly not a box-off1ce idol, it seems to me that Producers Robinson and Bogeaus still have ample ground for argument before they scrap their blueprints.
 Are big box-office names neces- sary for the success of picture today? They are not, and I can cite a dozen current hits to prove my contention. A perfect case in point is the British-made movie, "The Seventh Veil," which has play ed to top business wherever it has been shown. It does not have, in its entire cast, one player who is well known to American fanS-and nei- ther, for that matter, did it have high pressure sales campaign prior to <ts release in this country. It's been successful because it's a Good Picture.
 Robinson and Bogeaus have an- other potent asset in their title. Perhaps Toumanova may be com paratively unknown, but Anna Paw Iowa is name with infinite appeal to millions. I contend that Good Story based on her career, and properly exploited is better guar antee of big business than any other star name.
 Hollywood, in my humble opil- ion, needs something more than big stars. It also needs some execu- tives with courage enough to take a reasonable chance.

Ronald Delaney, editor of Sco- wills Bulletin, shot Is. A perfect score is 25-which speaks fairly well for Ron.
 Louie Savino put in a very good showing up to Station Eight. At the eighth station it was a little tough going. The sun was a little strong or was it the wind? Nevertheless, Lou holds his own pretty well in this Skeet business.
 Another one of the Scovill boys who powdered-the-clay was Lee Reed. The shot Lee can't make hasn't been designed yet. (We're just being nice when we say that)
 Then there was Ray Dunn. We don't know how Ray ST. fared out last Saturday but from all indica- tions his two sons are following him true to form. Both promising skeet shots.
 All in all, Scovill seems to have quite a few good shots. including those we didn't mention. Would they be interested in getting up a team? Irv Pagan, Charge DAffairs on Skeet and a good shot in his own right, shouldn't let all that talent go to waste. Let's have some competitive sport.
 Now, in the other corner stands John Kulmann with his crew of prospects who should offer some good, keen competition. Waterbury fish and game members comprise his prospective team.
 His team includes Dom Mecca who is as good a. shot as he is an accordianist; Tom Colasanto; Kul- mann's friend Duffy" from Pros pect; Tom Butler. Jr.; and Harry Mayo. What e team.

MILK AND BUTTER PRICES
 co UP

Recently the OPA raised the ceiling prices on butter and milk and other assorted dairy products. They'll do anything to keep the cows contented. And it's really made the COWS very ritzy. Elsie" now refuses to answer to anything but Madame Elizabeth"
 On one farm out here tine COWS organized and refused to give milk unless the farmer put cold cream on his hands every night 90 he wouldn't have any rough cal- louSeS.
 And what prices some of these stores charge. I went into one place and said, Give me @ quar- ter's worth of cream" And the clerk pulled out an atomizer and said, 'Fine-which ear do you want 1t behind?" And when I ordered a quarter pound o6 but ter, he said, which quarter pound QO you WdAttE 41AC WWO-OIShsNC quarter pound or the 0ll1ce-and- a-half quarter poemd?'
 But I got some milk. I won't say 1t was watery but when ! opened the bottle, goldfish stuck his head out and yelled, Where va been? I'm staGvedl"
 Milk is really a lAlslAry drink these days. I ordered @ bot tle of milk in the Brown Derby and two walters brought 1t out wrapped in towel entitled 1t in 8 silver bucket of ice and then one of them popped big stick of bubble gum while the other took off the cap.
