CLUBMEN GATHER: TALK PATRIOTISH Kenilworth Members Rally to the Golors of U. . A. > | The sixteenth annual banquet of the Kenilworth club was held at the Elm Tree Inn in Farmington last evening and proved to be a thoroughly patriotic ‘affair, the decorations be- ing of this order &s were most of the after-dinner speeches. Harry C. Jack- son was chairman of the committee in charge ‘and all went to the Inn and returned in automobiles. The tables were decorated in the national colors and a silk flag was placed at every blate as a’ favor, while the speakers’ table was decorated with the flags of the Allied Nations. The Charter Oak -orchestra furnished music. Fifteen Clubmen Enlist. W. F. Fay, a member of the High school faculty, acted as toastmaster and’ A. F. delMoral, another member of this faculty, was also one of the speakers. President Harry E. Scheuy made an after dinner speech in which he mentioned the patriotism of the Kenilworth club, explaining that out of a membership of eighty-five fifteen ‘men have already enlisted to serve their country, while four have /been called into actual service. He pre- dicted that more members will enlist or be called into service by selective conscription. The four members al- ready in actual service are Sergeants ‘John F. Conners and Cedric Powers of Company I,.now in training - at Plattsburg, Hazen Hinman, another Plattsburger, and Corporal Earl Fd- ‘wards of the Machine Gun company. Both Harry Wessels, of the High school faculty, and W. W. T. Squire spoke and Dr. James F. Faulkner, at present in the United States Medical corpa resertea and a former surgeon on the French battlefront, told of some of hia experienced ahroad.: Tales From the Front. Volcing his ewn opinions from per- sonal obgervations, Dr. Faulkner pre- dioted that the war will last at least three years longer unlesa there 1is some unforeseen and unexpected in- ternal complication in Germany and he does not look for that until after the war at Teast, Showing the ig= norance of the averagé German ' sol- dier as to outside events, Dr. Faulk- ner told of conversations be had with German prisoners on the battlefront. He said that one German soldier who could speak Engiish asked him when the prisoners were to be shot. When formed that they were not to be ted the man was surprised and said that the German officers had im- pressed upon their men the fact that they must not lose or, if taken pris. oners, they would all be summarily executed. In talking to another Ger- man prisoner shortly before he started on his return trip to American, Dr. Faulkner said he told the soldier he was leaving in a few days and in- tended to stop at London, go through England and Scotland and then to the United States. According to the doc- tor, the soldier laughed at him and told him it would be impossible for him to go to London as that city was nothing but a mass of ruins, having been completely demolished by Zep- pelins. As to returning to the. United States the prisoners told him that was impossible as the German submarines had destroyed a great many ships and the seas were entirely cleared of all ocean traffic. It is storfes like this that the German soldiers are led to believe, Dr. Faulkner stated. Speaking of ‘the Russian situation, Dr- Faulkner sald that from authori- tive sources he had read enough to convince him that given half a chance Russia will be saved to the Allies. The banquet concluded with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner and Auld Lang Syme. SUES FOR $6,000. Bricklayer Wants That Much of Mary Wisk’s Money for Injurfes. John Kieley, bricklayer, through Attorney Harry P. Roche, has brought sult against Mrs. Mary Wisk for in- juries gustained August 15, 1915, when & scaffold on which he was working broke, throwing him several feet to the ground and bresking his arm and otherwise injuring him. The writ al- leges that the scaffold was erected by & son of the defendant and was unfit for use. The plaintiff asks for $6,000. Recently Kieley applied to the com- pensation commissioner for damages, but that officlal ruled that in view of the fact that less than the required number of men was employed by the defendant on the job, the claim was not justified. Constable Winkle served papers on the defendant and prop- erty on Grove and Broad t was attached. The writ is returnablg. in the superior court on the first Tues- day In June. / ——ee SUNDAY SOCHOOD OUTING.

THE YANKEE PRINCE | PLEASES BIG HOUSE.. Y-M.T.A &B Thespians Score Snccassin(mncomody - For many years the Youn‘ Men’s has put before the theater-going pul lic of this city, performancea by mem- bers of the organisation augmentcd by friends, and has won fame which has been noteworthy. The various committees handling thess affairs have, as a rule, confined the attrac- tions to drama, but the 1917, dra- matic committee belleved in divs:- sion. In consequence a musical com- €dy was decided on. The work of selecting a production which ‘would please was the next step taken by the committee and after scanning the list of past successes, George M. Co- han's greatest success, “The Yankee Prince,” was decidéd on. Then be- gan the work of moulding into & smooth working, order a galaxy of performers to assume this important task, aa well as a large chorus. After severa] months of earnest attention to the training of Director Frankiyn Smith, the doors of opened last evening for the night's performance of the play, and once again history repeated, for the wisdom of the committes was shown by the manner in which the attrac- tion was carried out. It was indeed a treat for the critical first nighters and everybody left the theater with & broad smile of satistaction evincing that the company pleased. ‘While ‘the attraction is the usual Cohanesque, variety, with little plot but plenty of catchy music and wit- ticlsm woven into the lines, it af- forded some of the entertsiners & splendid opportunity of showing their versatility and they did in al- most faultless manner, The stoiy deals with a Chicagoan in London who is bent on securing for his twen- ty-year-old daughter & nobleman, de- apite the protestations of his Mfe part- ner and the daughter, who does net protest verbally but shows her dls- pleasure at the choice of dad on ‘every occasion. In London s ean American millionaire, Percy Springer (F. 'W. Greene), who becomes emit- ten by the charms of Evelyn Field ing (Miss Catherine Walsh) and the remainder of the story deals with hiy efforts to break down the barrier set up by Mr. Fielding (Edward J.

COURT memA- u—ompmwaun Barely E»- mwmm There was a light docket in police court this mgrnin'. the most se- rious case was that'#f Frank Rulake- wiez, charged with'beckless driving. A fine of 315 was imposed by Judge James T. Meskill. The man was ar- rested on complaint of Trafic Off- cer Chares Johnson, who declared that he drove his automobile along Main street at twenty-five miles an hour, barely missed striking him and crashed into the silent officer at the corner of Main and East Main streets. The accused said he was hurrying to a wedding. Joseph Gradeski, 17, charged with the theft of an overcoat from a Church street pool room, was dis- charged as iy appeared that he did not intentionally take the coat. e was accused by Bdward Peterson, also aged 17, of stealing his coat yes terday afternoon and not returning it until last night. The aqcused ex- plained, however, that his own ocoat and that owned by Peterson are sim- ilar and he took the wrong coat from the pool room by mistake and Tre- turned it as soon as he could. Disposition of other cases was made | as follows: Newton Smith, non-sup- port, furnish a bond of $300 and pay his wife $5 a week for one year or go to jatt for thres months; Bdward Harting, violation of probation, pro- bation continued. hey), aided and abetted by Mra. Field-'!! ing (Miss Mae Dillon). Hénors for the pleasantry evoked by the working out of the plot are easily won by Mies Dillon and Thomas Crean, the latter portraying the char- acter of Earl of Weymouth in a man- ‘ner that would cause some of the pro- l‘onl:.:f th': prm! nt u:h to m:: up and e notic 't was the e thet My Croan-ted sought thew: pian honors and he mn‘ ina m Irving fashion. His enunciation of the twang of the typieal English eari, dropping the h's wher! they shouldn’t be, evoked much laughter. He also developed ' a decidedly ‘“‘Henglish” walk, bah jove. Miss Diilon’s role ‘was probably the most difficult of any of the female parts, but it seemed as If the role had been created for her. Miss Dillon’s work was indeed a pleasure. Joseph Callahan and Miss Margaret O'Leary added to their laurels as the villain and villainess. Miss O'Leary, a favorite of other seasons, was ten- dered an ovation on her first appear- ance on the stage. Others who made an impression were J. J. Bonney, E. J. Sheshey, F. ‘W. Greene, Miss Nina Butler, Andrew Basso, James Donahue, George Camp- bell, L. Cotter and Jere Coftey, Of these Mesars. Greene and !l‘lo and Miss Butler carried off the laurels. It was the first appearance of Miss Butler and, in the role of a female detective, she displayed enough abil- ity to hold down a job in the New York police department. The song hits of -the evening were rendered by Mr. Callahan and M! O'Leary, “I'm WAwfully Strong For You;” Miss Walsh and Mr. Gu na, Going to Marry c Nobleman,” which was tableaued by several members of the chorus dressed as brides and grooms. A duet by Misses Walsh and Mr. Dillon received several encores, all deserving. Edward Sheehey san, “America, I Raised a Boy For You.' At the end of the first act the “Spirit of '76” was depicted with Thomas ‘White, Willlam BSullivan, Larry Cot- ter and Master and Miss McAloon, as Uncle Sam and Miss Liberty, par- ticipating. Before the opening of the first act Mrs, Mary T. Crean rendered “The Star Spangled Banner,” with the au- dience standing, and this tended to start the performance off in the right spirit. The work of the chorus was very clever, several pretty dancing num- bers being given, the work of the guards in Act II. being particularly good. Sixteen boys and girls sang a aumber, and everything progressed untl]l the girls sat on the boys’ kneas causing the rouge to become slightly | redder. In the opening aet the girls did not take matters seriously, gig- - gling being noticeable, but this dis- appears as the performance pro- STesses. Much of the success of the show is due to the work of Mr. Bmith as director, and John J. Crean as musi- cal director. Lynch’'s augmented or- chestra played the . accompaniment. The final presentation of the show will be given this evening. RECRUITING OFFICE SHIFTED.
