LECTURE AND SONGS | PLEASE HUNDREDS Dr. Walsh an—d M—I‘._Finnegan At Russwin Lyceum Some folk there are who hold to the belief that mankind is ever progress- ing, marching forward, discovering new ideas, advancing new theories. Dr, James J. Walsh of New York, who addressed the members of St. Mary's Sodality of St. Mar: church last night at the Lyceum concedes nothing of the kind and advances archaic proof that there is nothing new under the sun,—even the science of nautics has been known to the insect | world for econs and eons, as witness the soaring spider and his web, | Dr, Walsh, who holds the doctorate and who has made a ity of archaeology, shared the program last night with John Finnegan, a tenor singer who has appeared before New Britain audiences on other occasions. | The fact thatMr. Finnegan is now being advanced by the critics as the one to take the place of the celebrated | John McCormack, another singer of Trish melodies, added a novel interest in the lecture and recital. Despite a downpour of rain during the early evening, there was not a vacant seat in the main auditorium of the theater. And those who braved the elements were well repaid by lis- tening to the remarkable lecture of | Dr. Walsh and the charming singing | of Mr. Finnegan. The lecturer took his auditors away back to the time of the cave men, 5,050 years B. C.| With that beginning he cut into his tory right and left and showed that | the things which interest mankind today are not very different from | those that absorbed the attention of | mankind six thousand years ago. The | philosophy is about the same. the wisdom is on a par, the wit is in no way advanced. The twenty-seven | jokes that were sent on their way by | the Babylonians, or the Assyrians | the Tgyptians, or whoever it was D Walsh said started them, are no differ- ent today in substance than they were then. The form has changed some- what, merely that and nothing more. Man has advanced somewhat; but mankind, never. Professor F. F. Harmon was the ac- | companist for Mr. Finnegan who ren- dered the following recital: | “T'lt Sing Thee Songs of Araby”. Clay | “The Low-Back'd Car” Lover | “Good-bye” Tosti | Arig g n ¢ Puccini | Schubert “Serwnade” “Ave Maria Schubert } “The Snowy-Breasted Pear spey La Boheme"” nnegan responded to several the lecture and voung ladies of St. Mary entertained their guests at a reception and supper in the Knights of Colum- bus council rooms, recital the SIX BURGLARIES TRACED TO GIRL | Helen Kraker, “Queen of the Movies,” Continues to Mystify Police By Cleverness. Known to the authoriti queen of the movies, old Helen Kraker of 146 street, continues to be a mystery while the scope of her activities increases as the investigation of detectives pro- gresses. According to the police, she is either one of the cleverest juvenile criminals that has ever come to the attention of the local department or Dossesses the uncanny cunning of the :"menmn_\' jrresponsible. Already, ac- cording to Detective Officer A. .

As a | result, she did not appear in court. | Later she was apprehended by her | brother and is now being detained at police headquarters. The authorities are as uncertain as to the best thing | to do with her as are the police in attempting to estimate the scope of | her light-fingered activitie: | She is now accused and, according to the police, confesses to having stolen $12 and a diamond ring from the home of John A, Kallberg, State Normal School ianitor, of 153 Grove street. Detectives are attempting to locate the ring and have already traced it {hrough the temporary own- ership of from ten or twelve.
