LYCEUM CLOSES TOMORROW | Ourtain Will Ring Down on Stock Company Saturday Night—To Se- cure Klaw & Erlanger Productions. Manager George LeWitt of the Ly- ceum theater announced today that rather than continue for another week, the stock company will con- clude its season’s engagement at the theater tomorrow evening, with the final presentation of “A Pair of Queens.” Tomorrow night the theater will be officially closed for the time being, al- though Manager LeWitt today says he signed a contract whereby he is to secure for his theater the road pro- ductions of Klaw & Erlanger, leading producers of the east. The contract calls for the presentation of these road plays in New Britain on one or two nights a week as they are re- leased. It is expected that the play- house will be re-opened with road company productions in about a month and Manager LeWitt says he is negotiating for “The Blue Par- adise” as the initial performance. Manager LeWitt denies that he is to convert the Lyceum theater into a “movie” house. It will continue as a legitimate playhouse and moving pictures will be exhibited only when regular performances are not being glven, he says. The manager has a number of high class photo plays which he will endeavor to secure for presentation in his theater when it is otherwise idle. Among these are George M. Cohan in “Broadway Jones,” ‘‘Joan, the Woman,” “Wom- anhood” and others. b T0 BUILD LARGE BUNKERS Union Manufacturing Co. Awards Contracts for Erection of Coal Stor- age Plant of Steel and Concrete.

Local Dockstaders Make Big Hit at Debut Performance. More than 200 Eiks, some of which were from Hartford, Meriden, Middle- town ‘and Bristol, were entertained last evening at the homo of lodge 957 on Washington street, when a rube character minstrel performance was given by members of the order, un- der the direction of John J. Crean. The “rubes” made a decided hit with the gothering with their grotesque makeups, singing and witicisms. The work of John Kilduff, who as- sisted in the program was of a high class order. Much credit is due the | committee arranging the cveit, con- sisting of Joseph Haffey, chairman; John J. Crean and Harold Johnson. At 11 o’clock the Elks' toast was given hy Past Exalted.
