In The Local
Theaters
POLI’S
Tonight the big stage show at
Poll's In addition to the regular
double screen program Is the gala
offering of this theater, and the
crowds that have been attending on
Wednesday evening for the past 40
weeks attest to the popularity of
this feature.
On the screen there is a superb
double feature program made up of
Oene Raymond In "Love On a Bet”
and Ocorge O’Brien In O’Malley Of
The Mounted.
“Love On A Bet” Is a film that
rivals the now famous “It Happened
One Night’’ cinema, it has every
thing that the other film had and
then some, and to those who arc
lucky enough to sec this film will
thrill for a long time when It Is re
membered.
"O’Malley Of The Mounted” Is
one of those films that all Water
bury likes, plenty of action, thrills
and comedy, it features the unques
tioned star Oeorge O’Brien.
Thursday, tomorrow night will
witness the resumption of the most
popular Innovation that has ever
been presented In Waterbury, during
the cessation of It, there have been
thousands of calls asking when It
would return and here we are glad
to be able to anounce, Is your treat
back, with all the thrills, entertain
ment and joy that It gave to attend
ants at Poll’s In the past with Fred
die Hall In the role of the master
of-ceremonies.
STATE
"Road Gang”, Warner Brothers’
new and daring expose of prison
conditions, comes to the State the
ater to-day for a three-day engage
ment. It has won anlmous acclaim
from press and public everywhere it
has played and tops "I Am a Fugi
tive” In dramatic forcefulness.
The scenes depicted In "Road
Clang,” make one’s blood boll. It
makes one shudder to think that
human beings could be subjected to
such conditions.
Yet despite the terrifying aspect
of this portion of the picture, the
subject Itself, as well as the pictur
esque quality of the scenes, makes It
one of vital Interest to everyone.
It also Is relieved by a glowing ro
mance In which a girl makes a
heroic fight to liberate her lover
whom she knows to have been
framed by grafting political bosses,
and convicted and sentenced to the
horror of the mines for a crime he
had not committed.
The scenes are mostly laid In two
stark, realistic settings, one a prison
farm, where prisoners arc subjected
to medieval tortures, and the other
the Blackfoot mines, so much worse
that men seldom leave the place ex
cept In a pine box. There arc plenty
of thrills In these scenes Including a
terrific battle between prison guards
and convicts In the bowels of the
earth, the blasting of a mine tunnel
by prisoners In their effort to escape
and their bombardment with ma
chine guns and gas bombs.
Donald Woods, Kay Llnaker, Car
lyle Moore Jr., and Henry O’Neill
have the leading roles. The com
panion feature Is "Soak the Rich”, a
romantic comedy starring Walter
Connolly with John Howard and
Mary Taylor. It's packed with
laughs and amusing situations.
STRAND
PcrforrnanccK this evening con
clude the engagement of “The Pris
oner of Shark Island” and "It Had
to Happen”, current attractions at
Warner Brothers’ Strand theater.
Tomorrow brings Paul Muni In “The
Story of Louis Pasteur.” He Is given
capable support by Josephine
Hutchinson, Anita Louise and Fritz
Latter.
Hated and scorned, a pariah and
an outcast, branded as a quack, a
charletan and an enemy of man,
Pasteur lived to see hts work rec
ognized and himself acclaimed as
the greatest scientist of his age.
It Is this great character that
Muni brings to life on the screen.
It Is the thrilling drama of Pas
teur’s battle for the human race,
that is unfolded in "The Story of
Louis Pasteur.” This picture has a
great educational value and is espe
cially recommended for school chil
dren, The added attraction will
present Harold Lloyd in "The Milky
War."
April Final Month
Orion Will Appear
Spring Constellations in Ascendant—Spioa a Great
Sun—Jupiter is An Evening Star
BY DR. CLEMENT 8. BRAININ
Of The Columbia University
Observatory Staff
The eastern evening sky already
contains many of the stars which
form the spring and summer con
stellations but the heritage from the
winter groups still adds to the
splendor of the heavens. With the
exception of Taurus, which must be
observed before D o'clock, Orion and
all his magnificent companions, to
which we have been calling atten
tion for the past few months, are
still to be observed at map-time.
This Is the last month In which
Orion will appear on the map, and
before long the entire aspect of the
heavens will be completely changed.
81rlus, the great Dog Star, Is now
above the southwestern horizon, and
higher up Is Procyon, the brightest
star In the constellation of the Les
ser Dog. The Oemlnl, Castor and
Pollux, lie between the zenith and
the eastern horlbon. Almost on the
meridian and about half-way up
over the south point of the south
point of the horizon Is the beauti
ful blue-white star Rcgulus, the roy
al star, the brightest star In the
constellation of Leo, the Lion. Rc
gulus marks the western end of Leo
and at the eastern end lies Dene
bola, the second brightest of the
group.
Close upon Leo follows the wide
spread constellation of Virgo, the
virgin goddess of the harvest, rep
resented by Ceres in the mythology
of classical Rome. Virgo extends a
long way. both east and west of
Splca, which Is the brightest star
of the constellation and represents
an ear of grain that the goddess
about twenty-five times that of the
sun. Arcturus is easily found by ex
tending the curve of the handle of
the Oreat Dipper In the direction
opposite that of the bowl. At map
time the Dipper will be found with
Its bowl not far from the zenith,
stretching toward the northeastern
horizon. Where the handle ends,
the constellation of Bootes begins.
Named Independently
Within the curve of the Dipper's
handle lies a group of stars that
were once also considered a part of
the Ojpat Bear, but which were la
ter separated from the Bear and In
dependently named. These stars are
the constellation of Canes Vcnatlcl,
the Hunting Dogs, apparently pur
suing the Bear. The brightest In
this constellation Is sometimes called
Cor Carol!, the heart of King
Charles of England; but this name
Is not generally used, it is a par
ticularly noteworthy star, as even a
small telescope will show that It Is
composed of two separate stars, one
of golden and the other of bluish
color. It is, Indeed, one of the finest
colored pairs in the heavens. This
star Is a physical system of two
stars, or suns, moving about one an
other or, more accurately, about
their common center of gravity, in
periodic orbits. The distance Of this
binary sun from us is about two
hundred light-years and its bright
ness, despite its great distance, be
tokens high luminosity. Like Spl
ca, it is a greater radiator of light
than Sirius. Unfortunately.the most
interesting object in the constella
tion of the Hunting Dogs Is not
visible to the naked eye or even in
a small telescope; we refer to the

holds out to the world. The posi
tion of the sun when on the au
tumnal equinox Is now In the west
ern part of Virgo but was once close
to Splca and has been In this con
stellation since the dawn of astro
nomy. The nearest bright star to
the west of Splca Is Oamma Vlrgl
nls, an Interesting double star. In
the region extending from Oamma
Virginia to Denebola In Leo Is one
of the richest fields of nebulas In
the entire sky. It Is appropriately
called the "field of the nebula”.
Bluish-White Star
Splca Itself Is a bluish-white star
of the highest temperature class and
Is a "helium” star, as the lines of
this gaseous element are very pro
minent In Its spectrum. It Is only
of medium. Insofar as the first-mag
nitude stars are concerned, for Its
magnitude Is such that In the entire
list of first-magnitude stars it really
stands as the fourteenth or fifteenth.
But in reality It Is a much greater
star than most of those which pre
cede It In order of apparent bright
ness, for its distance Is extremely
great. The best data at present
available makes Ita distance to be
over three hundred light-years. It
Is really over a hundred times as
great a radiator of light as Sirius,
which, because, of its relative prox
imity to use, appears from the earth
to be ten times as bright.
Higher up than Splca, above the
east point of the horiaon, Is another
first-magnitude star, Arctium In
•t» constellation Bootes. A return:.
<s of yellowish hue, more pronounc
ed In color than the sun. Its dist
ance from us Is about thirty light
veers, and Its actual luminosity is
fine double spiral nebula In which
two such nebulas appear almost In
contact and seem to rotate In op
posite directions.
Mercury, Venus and Saturn are
morning stars but are not In good
position for observation; Mrs. Is an
evening star but Is also too close to
the sun. Jupiter, on the other hand,
Is rapidly improving Its position and
rises shortly before midnight this
month. Its brilliancy Is also increas
ing and It Is now nearly twice as
bright as It was at the beginning of
the year. At its maximum bright
ness for the present period it will
reach a magnitude of "minus 2.2".
It Is now much brighter than Si
rius. During the spring and sum
mer Jupiter will remain a fine ob
ject for amateur and professional
observation.
