The only eye witgess to the acci- dent was a young man, Donald An, | thony, who was driving in the op- ‘posite direction. . According to his statement Pliskowski was driving towards West Main street at a mod- | erate rate of speed when the front | wheels of his small coupe seemed to huckle causing the car to careen to | the side of the road and overturn. A young woman climbed out of the car and told Anthony that she was going to the home of the in- jured man to inform his relatives of the accident. Anthony aided Plis- kowski from the machine and notic- ing the condition of his left hand placed him in his car and rushed him to the hospital. Just after he had left, Policeman ‘Albert J. Murphy drove by and stopped-to investigate thé accident. While he was questioning persons at | the “scene, Anthony returned from | the hospital. Officer Murphy ques- | tioned the youth and learned that he | had witnessed the accident. Both ! returned to the hospital where they | found Pliskowski under ether and unable to tal Pliskowski's injury was received evidently when the hand became wedged between the top of the car and the ground as it was overturn- ed. The name of the girl who was riding with the youth was not learned by the officer. 3 Information given out at the hos- pital this morning pertaining to the condition of the young man indicat- ed that he was resting as comfort- ably as could be expected following the ordeal. POLICE-AUTO IN GRASH; OTHER DRIVER ARRESTED Officer Says Chauffeur Paid No At- tention to Siren As He \ Sped to Fire Stanley Kulik of 72 Grove street paid no attention to the sound of a police car siren on Saturday after- no0on, with the result that he faced police caurt this morning, ged with violating the rules of the road.

Police Officer Alfred Tanguay was driving north on High street in a police car, going to a small ash shed fire in the rear of 22 High street, and he was blowing the siren con- tinuously. Coming to the Myrtle street crossing, the officer saw that Kulik was going to drive right along instead of coming to a stop, and despite the quick application of the hrakes on the police car, it struck the sedan near the rear end, dam- aging it. But most of the damage was done to the front of the police car. The sedan continued about 50 feet before stopping, according to Officer Tanguay.

AT THE STRAND | As the first screen musical com- | edy to which Florenz Ziegfeld gave | his own personal supervision and | skill stagecraft, “Whoopee,” which | is showing at the Strand theater | today, tomorrow and Wednesday, according to the critics, does full justice to the reputation and talents of the famous impresario. “Whoo- pee” is very much a continuation of Eddie Cantor's stage success that ran for two years at the New Am- sterdam theater, New York, tran- scribed bodily for the films, with its huge spectacles magnified in size and beauty with the magic of Tech- nicslor to give it reality. Samuel Goldwyn, who produced the picture, claims that it is the first perfect all- color cinema extravaganza. Eddie Cantor remains the pro- tagonist of the comedy. “Whoopee" on the stage gave him a success that surpassed even the phenomenal record of his “Kid Boots” and the | many Ziegfeld “Follies” that he headed. Its screen adaptation is Can- tor's first talking picture—also the occasion that inaugurates the part nership of Producer Samuel Gold- wyn and Impresario Florenz Zieg- feld, . | Hundreds of the world's most beautiful girls, gathered from the beauty marts of Broadway and Hol- lywood by connoisseurs no less than Ziegfeld and Goldwyn themselves augment the original stage cast, headed by Ethel Shutta, the silver- volced tenor, Paul Gregory, Chief Caupolican, Spencer Chartres, the fair young Eleanor Hunt and a dozen others.

APART 28 YEARS, | STEINS REUNITED Brothers Brought Together at End of Trip From South Africa ' Samuel Stein of Johannesburs, South Africa, arrived here today to visit his brother, Bernard Stein, of | 27 Winthrop street, and for the first time in 28 years the brothers are reunited. Samuel Stein is a building con- | tractor in Johannesburg, this being his first visit to the United States. | He spent some time in Paterson, N. | J., before coming to this city and will visit another brother, David, in Waterbury before he returns home on his long ocean voyage. Mr. Stein told a Herald reporter today that business conditions in South Africa are not brisk but the people are optimistic and believe | the depression will end soon. During his temporary residence in | this city Mr. Stein will make a tour | of New Britain factories and meet a number of executives. He uses a large quantity of buflders’ hardware | made here and is thoroughly fa- | miliar with the products. South Africa is gradually becom- ing , industrialized. Factories are springing up and imports of manu- factured articles from Elrope are declining, Mr, Stein sald. At pres- ent Germany enjoys a place in the sun, commercially speaking, manu- facturers in that country being able to undersell competitors because of low production costs. Throughout South Africa business and industry must suspend opera- tions at 6 o’clock, Mr. Stein said. Employes who work longer hours are paid overtime and government officials make a check-up to insure | the workers against being under- | paid. | American made movies are popu- lar in Johannesburg, Mr. Stein sald, being preferred to all other makes. Residents of South Africa are pro- gressive commerclally, educational- lv and otherwise, he added, and citles are modern in every respect. English and Dutch are spoken but English predominates. Miss Sonia Stein, Mr. Stein’s| daughter, has been a guest of her uncle, Bernard Stein, since last May. | | GERALD SULLIVAN At the Organ Featuring a Musical Melange De Lux¢ Feature Shown at |armory this | will take place on Saturday evening, EMBASSY f “uulnrllu ||!
