FINE ROLE FOR LANA IN FILM
 AT CAPITOL

Lana Turner became the earliest rising actress in Hollywood when she started work in 'T'he Three Musketeers."
 The lavish Technicolor produc- ton will be shown tonight and to- morrow at the Capitol Theatre.
 Due to the elaborate makeup, coiffure and wardrobe the star wears in the M-G-M Technicolor production, it was necessary for her to be at the studio ty six in the morning in order to be ready for the cameras at nine. This meant her alarm clock was set for four forty-five am. and she left home not later than five-thirty.
 Miss Turner's costumes as the devastatingly beautiful Lady de Winter are the most sumptuous she has ever worn in a film. The special hair style created for her required a full hour to prepare.
 With Miss Turner in one oi M-G-M's greatest casts are Gene Kelly as D'Artagnan, June Allyson as Constance, Van Heflin as Athos, Angela Lansbury as Queen Anne, with Frank Morgan, Vincent Price, Keenan Wynn, John Sutton and Gig Young in support.
 The picture was directed by George Sidney and was produced by Pandro s. German.

CARDS MUST
 pERk UP TO
 WIN pENNANT
By JOE RE1CHLER

By JOE REICHLER
 Should the St. Louis Cardinals brilliant pennant drive end in failure, the blame could be traced to last January 29.
 That was the day Robert Hanne- gan, then President of the Cards sold Murry Dickson, a front line pitcher, to the Pittsburgh Pirates The transaction brought $125,OOO in cold cash to St. Louis but no players.
 Dickson has not fared well in Pittsburgh. The little righthander from Tracy, Mo, has been able to win only SIX games this season, tut four of them have been over his former mates. He's made six starts against the Cards, and has yet to pitch bad game.
 The Redbirds faced a golden op- portunity to open their biggest lead of the year over Brooklyn--two and a half games-yesterday. They had just whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates AZ, in the first game of a double header while the Dodgers were los ing to Boston, 50. That gave the front-runn;ng Cards a two-game bulge. A victory in the second game would increase their margin to two and half games.
 Fred Martin, repatriate from the Mexican League, pitched the Az win for the Cards.
 SOX CLOSE IN ON YANKEES
 The Boston Red Sox closed in on the American League leading new York Yankees, cutting their first place margin to two and a hali games by walloping Washington 40. Philadelphia helped the Red Sox by downing the Yankees. 8-7.
 Jack Kramer scattered seven Senator hits to post his fourth vic- tory for the Red Sox.
 Lefty Lou Brissie and first baseman Ferris Fain helped cele- brate Connie Mack Day. at Yan- kee Stadium, by leading the As to their only win over the Yankees in the three-gaIme set. Brissie went the route for his 18th victory. Fain drove in six runs with double and a grand slam homer.
 SPLIT GAMES
 Third place Cleveland split a doubleheader with the White Sox in Chicago The Indians came from behind to win the second game, 7-4 after Chicago had won the opener 5-4.
 St. Louis moved out of eighth place by splitting twin bill with Detroit. Les Moss two-run pinch hit single in the eighth beat the Tigers. AZ, in the first game. Home runs by Vic Wertz, Pat Mullin and Paul Campbell won the second game for Detroit, 8-7.
 The Philadelphia Phils divided a doubleheader with the New York Giants. Kenny Heintzelman blanked Leo Durocher's crew, 40, for the Phils in the opener. The second game was forfeited to the Giants by Umpire Al Barlick in the ninth inning when the Philadelphia cus- toners rained pop bottles and other missiles on the field in protest over a decision by Umpire George Barr.
 Barr had ruled that Philly out fielder Richie Ashturn had trapped a drive off the bat of Joe Latata. Ashburn argue that he caught it. The Giants were in front at the time, 4-2.
 Cincinnati came back to get a split in its twin bill with Chicago, winning the second game Al, after the Cubs won the opener 5-4.

 A Long Way
 Yes, Waterbury has come g long way since 1874 and there is a pride which is also ours in look ing upon Waterbury today, for Ne groes of Waterbury, although there are few who have jobs or posi- tions to so indicate, have never the1ess done their share constant lv. directly and indirectly, to make Waterbury what it is today.
 There are Negroes here today who can remember when Water bury was little more than a town, such as Fred Minnis, believed to be the oldest living Negro in Wa terburv. along with John Camp, Col. Mckinley. and Joseph Hatcher, all of whom have lived in Water bury for over fifty years. Next week I will carry the story of one of these men to tell you some thing of his early recol1ections of Waterbury in earlier days.

New Haven celebrated Army Day with a very huge parade Sat- urday past. No doubt sometime in your life you have tried to wend your way through a parade crowd, if so, you will be able to appreci- ate the difficulty I experienced try ing to arrive at Saint Luke's Church in time to greet the repre- sentatives from the New England Bulletin, since all traffic had com pletely stopped one had to walk if he were in hurry.
 After a lengthy walk from the center of town I finally reached the church. Since the parade was routed directly by Saint Luke's the people started filing in the edifice at the termination of the parade.
 Introductions
 By this time I had been proper ly introduced to Noah Thomp- son, advertising manager, Miss Betty Lou Allen and MT. Lee photographer. I immediately took them to the Sacistry where we found Father John H. Edwards.
 Having received permission from the good Padre to take pictures during the ceremony we hastened to the choir room where we found the best man, George Jackson, IT,, the groom, and Miss Lou Connal- ly, who was later to sing, very beautifully, I hasten to add; Be cause" "At Dawning," and 70 Promise Me-" Before long the room was filled with photographers, and reporters from various publica- tions. After Betty Lou had in terviewed the groom and Miss Con- nally. informal pictures were taken by the different newsmen.
 The soft, throbbing tones of the organ reminded us that four o'clock was drawing near and I escorted Betty Lou into the nave of the church where we stood very near to the chancel railing. From this vantage point our view would be clear, free from Instructions. Our position was very helpful in ex- blaming phases of the service to

 Long before the arrival of the wedding party Saint Luke's Church was filled beyond capacity. Failing to gain admission to the Church, hundreds of people stood in the vestibu1e. The crowd extended on to the sidewalk.
 Shortly before the arrival of the bride, MT. and Mrs. George Jack son, ST., parents of the groom, were escorted to their seats, and it was easily seen that Mrs. Jack son was trying very hard to re- strain her tears. The thought passed through my mind that the tears must be ones of happiness. For wasn't it true that the mighty and the lowly had gathered togeth- CT under the shelter of this beau tiful edifice to honor her son and his bride?
 The playing of Mendleshons "Wedding March" was a signal that
