Wonder Doc At tStrond
 Courage of Lossie'
 TechnicoIor Hit

In story as heartwarming as it is dramatic, Elizabeth Taylor. Frank Morgan. Tom Drake and that Wonder Dog" Lassie, joint their re- spective talents on the Strand screen to make Courage of Lassie".
 Filmed in Technicolor amid the grandeuers of the forects and val leyS of some of the most arresting countryside in the state of Wash ington, the new M-G-M picture un- folds the narrative of the mutual love held by Miss Taylor and Drake for a loyal and courageous col lie.
 Lassie, whose qualities and under standing are almost as human as his fellow players in the cast, en- acts as collie called "Bill". When Bill" as puppy gets lost in a forboding woods he is found by Miss Taylor and from then on becomes her inseparable companion. Nor gan, as a sympathetic neighbor, helps Miss Taylor train her found- ling as sheep dog and when lamb ing time arrives she and the col- lie risk their lives to bring in the strays. Later, circumstances bring the dog at Attu where, under the tutorship of Tom Drake, he be- comes hero in an attack against the Japs. The terrible marrage of enemy fire undermineS Bill" and he turns into a vicious, neurotic animal. He is sent back to the States and seems as though he will have to be done away with as a killer, but the issue is resolved in a stirring courtroom scene and 'BilP' once again finds a haven with the girl who loves him.
 Miss Taylor has an even more appealing role than that which brought her high praise in Ma tional Velvet and proves herself one of the most promising of the young acress on the Metro lot. Morgan gives his usual sureness of portrayal to the role of the kind ly sheep rancher, and young Tom Drake is typical clean-cut Army type. Others in a fine cast include Selena Royle, who recently played Drake's grandmother in "The Green Years" and Is this time cast as Miss Taylor's mother, and Harry Davenport as the fair-minded judge.
 The companion feature is 'The Inner Circle" and features Warren Douglas and Lynn Roberts.

State Offers Twin Feature
 Lover Come Bock'
 HeodIiner Sunday

Warmers State Theater is now featuring the roly-poly Lou Cos tello and Bud Abbott in "The Tine of Their Lives" a new fun-film that is one of the most amazing ghost stories ever screened. Uni versals thrilling co-hit, Inside Job" stars Preston Foster, Alan Curtis and lovely Ann Rutherford.
 Combining the fine talents of three top stars, sparkling with re- freShing dialogue and boasting a modern believable story, Lover Come Back" opens at the State Sunday. The story concerns the return from Europe of war corres- pondent George Brent) with the camerawoman (Vera Zorina) who covered his stories pictorially and the correspondents wife Gucille BalD, who has fought off a batch of highly eligible "wolvese" during her husbands absence. Amusing in- cidents involving this "Touch-and- go' triangle lead up to a hilarious conclusion.
 The co-feature 'The Seventh Veil" is 8 wildly dramatic story of young concert pianlste and the practice of psychiatry is an import ant ingredient of the controversial theme. James Mason and Ann Todd are the stars ably supported by an excellent cast.
 Romance, danger and suspense aplenty is in store for you next Wednesday at the States initial showing of Warner Brothers excit- ing Cloak and Dagger" starring Gary Cooper, featuring Robert Aida and introducing to American audi ence, the famous British actress, Lilli Palmer. The inimitable Gary Cooper chacracterizes quiet, peace loving professor, in a small New England University, who is happily engaged in his scientific work un- til suddenly, almost overnight, he finds it necessary to put this life behind him and take up the highly dangerous pursuit of powerful, un- seen adversaries. The exceedingly beautiful Miss Palmer's tender por- trayal of the romantic angle with Gary Cooper will undoubtedly bring her the same success here which she enjoyed on the Continent. The supporting cast includes Vladimir Sokoloff, J. Edward Bromberg, Mar jorie Hoshelle and Helene Timing.

 Gene Markey won't like this, but it's too good to keep.

Then came plague of gophers and with 1t dissension in the Markey family Gene, seeing his plants disappearing one by one, bought traps and de- clared war; Mss Loy, a fanatic in her kindness to all animals" pro- gram, objected stormily to trapping poisoning or otherwise destroying the pests. Markey's dodged trouble so far, but at a cost. He sets his traps after Myrnas in bed-and gets up at the crack of dawn to dispose of any gophers that have been caught.

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2O-Consider the ironic case of Jane Russell, vic- tim of her own publicity.
 In order to sell "The Outlaw" (far too poor a picture to do much busi- ness unless hypoed by extraordinary ballyhoo), producer Howard Hughes and his aides begged one of the most sensational advertising campaigns in movie history on the shapely body of their unknown leading lady. Miss Russell, even in a town where cheese cake" is routine, became "moSt-talked-about" young lady. Thousands of ultar-revealing photo graphs of her were printed before she was ever glimpsed on the screen. ColumniSts and magazine writers wore out hundreds of typewriter rib bons turning out copy about her al- lure. She became a national symbol for sex.
 She is irrevocably typed. And now, under pressure from public opinion and the MPAA, it seems that the type forced upon her is to be out lawed from the screen.
 I've discussed her plight with half a-dozen producers. They were unan- imous in saying: If we can't sell her on seX-angle, we wouldn't dare try to sell her at all"
 Their attitude, in my opinion, means curtains for Miss Russell's acting career. If she were not too contented as Mrs. Bob Waterfield to be deeply concerned about her own professional fortunes, think shed be justified in saying unkind things about the company that used her as sacrificial goat to sell picture.
 MEMORIES THAT BLESS AND BURN: When John Barrymore drew gasps from a radio station audience by appearing for his role in an im- portant air show, clad in big fur coat and pair of gaudily- striped pajamas .. When Jeanette Mac Donald, forced to exile her beloved sheep dog to a San Fernando Val- ley kennel after 1t had bitten sev- eral of her neighbors used to spend every free Saturday taking the pooch on long auto ride When Constance Bennett decided to go in for duck hunting and highlighted her first shooting trip by getting stuck, hip deep, in bog When Bing Crosby, in the very early days of his screen career, told me that he'd decided to chuck it all because self-consciousness made him half- sick every time he faced the cam- eras.
 From England, where an RKO unit is currently filming the James Hilton novel, So Well Remembered, Director Dmytryk contributes an amusing anecdote. Seems that he took his troupe into the north of England, to little mill town called Macclesfield, for location scenes and sent word ahead that he could use several hundred of the townspeople as extras. Without waiting for fur- ther instruction, every woman in Macclesfield made a dash for the local beauty shops and ordered "the works" Then came the pay-off; Dmytryk wanted them to work in

their ilk should make an indelible impression upon the minds of the working people of our state and nation, and they should guide them selves accordingly.
 The railroad strike should for ever be a warming to US that we must organize politically and beat back the tide of reaction that swept across our great country in recent months.
 If ever we needed unity in the labor movement we need it today. If ever we should set aside our petty differences it is today. We must not wait until it is too late, we must stand shoulder to shoulder in order to hold our hard won gains. The labor movement is bigger than any individual, any union or any group of unions. United we stand, divided we fall.

ORGANIZATION

On March 28, 1946 the Connecti- cut Federation of Labor held a one day conference at the Hotel Garde in New Haven for the purpose of stimulating an organization drive in the State of Connecticut.
 This idea was suggested in the form of a resolution passed by the delegates 10 the Goth convention of the Connecticut Federation of La bor held in Waterbury in January. About sixty representatives of la bor attended this meeting and they included representatives of various International Unions, Central La bor Unions and Local Unions. It was suggested that the Connecticut Federation of Labor should place several organizers in the field to assist in the organization of the un- organized. Various International representatives promised to cooper ate in the drive to organize :he workers of our State; however very few have kept their promises.
 For years the enactment of a State Labor Relations Act was our number one piece of labor legisla- ton, and now that we have such a law it is unfortunate that Interna- tional Unions are failing to take

reply he informed me that sometime in the fall he would be able to com- ply with my request.
 A good part of my time. and like wise the time of my able assistant J. Lawrence O'Toole. is used to do organizing work throughout the State. We have been successful in having Locals chartered covering employees of the New Haven and Bridgeport Housing Authorities.
 The demand for organization has not let up any as yet. 1t is my op- inion that we could use the serv- ices of at least two additional or ganizers. Fortunately, President Green through the efforts of John J. Murphy, Regional Director of the A. F. of L. in New England, has decided to pay for half of the sal aries of our two organizers and part of their expenses.
 As the Executive Board report shows, we have been enabled to hire a third organizer with the money obtained from the American Federation of Labor.
 |a I wish to thank Larry O'Toole, the officers of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor and all others for their fine spirit of cooperation in helping to push our organizing drive.

The Public Relations Department is continuing to do good job and is a credit to the State Federation of Labor.
