grace she turned and walked down

Civic Orchestra Concert April 4

When the Waterbury Civic or- chestra presents its next concert on Thursday April 4th, at s:30 p. m., the stage at Buck ingnam Hall will have on it l2 musicians who played with the orchestra for its first concert on May 5th, 1888. Twelve musicians of the original orchestra, plus the conductor, Mario DiCecco, have re- mained with the organization for the past eight years. They are Hugo Polletta, John Prietta, Guy DiModugno, Michael Marzano.

 It's . decided tribute to the or- chestra'S conductor, Mario Di Cecco, and to the Waterbury music-loy- ing public at large that so many musicians have stayed with the or- ganization for these eight years. Many orchestraS throughout the cots " found it necessary to dis band when lack of personnel dur ing the war years made it im- possible to continue. Others had to curtail their schedules drastical- ".

These Three At Strand
 "NorihWest TFaII"
 On Same Program

Samuel Goldwyns new production 'TheSe Three" which brought Mir jam Hopkins, Merle Oberon and Joel McCrea to the Strand Theater last night, proved the most powerful and gripping drama to reach the screen in many cinema season.
 Offering all these stars the acting opportunities of their lives, brIlliant- ly conceded by Lillian Hellman, fa- nous Broadway playwright, mag nificently produced and eXpertly directed by William Wyder, These Three" held last nights audience breathlesS from the opening shot to the final fadeout.
 It boasts something new to film fans in dramatic situations, knit to- gether with skill that results in Smart-paced, smooth and unforget- able entertainment. Bonita Gram vile, the l2-year-old, who plays the Spiteful schoolgirl whose vicious lie motivateS the story. is one of the great acting discoveries of motion picture history.
 The story, briefly, depicts how the ugly lie invented by an unruly stu- dent in private girls school, in- volving her two teachers, Miriam and Merle, and the latter's doctor fiance, Joel McCrea, brought disas- ter into their lives. Due 10 the re- Sultant scandal, the school is lost, the romance broken and almost un- bearable suffering and humiliation is visited upon these three innocent people before the lie is brought to light.
 Others who score in the uniformly brilliant cast are Alma Kruger, as Mary's grandmother; Catherine Doucet, as the silly, trouble making aunt; Marcia Mae Jones, Carmen cita Johnson, and Walter Brennan. These Three" is the dramatic smash of the season. It is released through Film Classics.

HOLLYWOOD, March 2S-On dull days, when have nothing else to surprise me, can always dig up some amazement at the speed with which young players begin to feel their oats. Bellta, the skating star, Is the most recent eX- ample of this tendency of youth- ful acting neophytes to want to take the bit in their teeth and tell their bosses how things should be done.
 This young British actress has been in the United States for about seven years, She skated and danced In England, came to this country and appeared in several New York shows, then on to Hollywood and 0 contract with Monogram Pictures, Her third picture, Suspense" has Just been completed and is due for release very soon. The pro- ducers of Suspense" from all re- ports, have spared no expense to make the picture q credit to their studio and, incidentally, to It's lead- ing lady, Bellta. Tn fact, the word along Hollywood grapevines Is that the films will make Belita a star
 Now that's nice going for any young actress and 1t seems to me that she should be intensely grate- ful to the studio who was willing to bring her fame and fortune. If I were Belita, and this applies to many young players in her cate- gory, l would give my employees my best efforts and leave the tech- nical side of picture making to the men who gave me priceless op- portunity. I think I would remem- Der that in my rise to stardom I passed many talented young folks who would be only glad to step into my shoes and who would prob- ably make good, If given the same training and encouragement I re- ceived in my climb to the top.
