The Cormican players turned the cards at the Lyceum theater last evening and in the presentation of George M. Cohan's, “A Prince Thete Was,”” gave a satisfactory opening night production. There was but lit- tle prompting from the side and each member of the cast appeared at ease in his or her part. Special mention should also be made of the stage setting, the one in the first act standing out as the best. This was an interior scene in the liv- | ing room of Charles Martin's apart- ment at the Plaza hotel in New York. The work of Lynn Starling, who successfully portrayed the role of Charles Martin, a *lounge lizasd" type of person who later makes a name for himself in the world, was exceptional. Mr, Starling, as in other performances has showed the New Britain theater- goers that he is an actor of ability and is a mainstay of the Cormican players. The local juvenile star, Miss Doro- thy: Golden, who appeared in' the “Gingerbread man,” recently, played well opposite Mr. Starling as Comfort, a child seeking to assist her elders, The work of Miss Golden was exceed- irgly well done considering her age and ecxperience. She has a pleasing voice that can well be heard in all parts of the theater. George Campbell, a local man, sur: prised New Britain people in the part he played. Mr. Campbell-has appear- ed in several amateur productions and in local stock shows but was never given the opportunity to show his ability such as he was in “A Prince There Was."” As a boarder in an east side New tor. Miss Betty Webber, another local girl, with Miss Marcelle Nelken as two other roomers at the boarding house did well. Edna Archer Craws- ford provided much of the comedy as Mrs./Prouty, the owner of the board- ing house. & Rexford Kendricks also played to advantage as Jack Carruthers, who interests Martin in going into business and lateg enters into partnership with him., Mr. Kendricks was seen to bet- ter advantage last evening than at any time since “his appearance in New Britxjn. The work of Miss Frances Clark as Katerine, . Wood, an author, who falls in love with Martin during the qourse of her writing a story, should also be mentioned. Horace James as Rland, Thomas Meegan as Mr. Cricket and Bernard Grogan as Eddie, also did well. The play is built around the life of Charles Martin, who has money. and has never been obliged to work for his living. He is a heavy drinker and upon the advice of Jack Carruthers, decides to break away from all of his old friends and habits to begin life anew. Unexpectedly he meets little Comi- fort, who unfolds her story to him. He then takes a room at an east side boarding house where Comfort lives. Here mpost of the action takes place and the, story is ended with Martin falling in love with a girl he meets at the house and bringing himself up in this world by entering into busi- ness partnership with Jack Carruth- ers. In summarizing the play one might say that it was a simple story well written and successfully produced by the Cormican players. Included in the list of founders of the National Women's party are 82 women from 19 states. Seventy-five per cent. of all fires are said to be preventable. THE CORMICAN PLAYERS Present a George M.
