Newest in Hand Bags—Street Floor Berlin News SUNDAY MOVIE FANS EXPECTING VICTORY Believe Town Mesting Wil Act Favorably on Project CARTER WANTS BIG CROWD New Britain Soprano to Entertain Legion Meeting @omorrow Eve- ning—Post Office Sets up New Equipment. Refting on the arguments already | submitted, promoters of the Sunday movie plan today predicted an over- whelming majority in favor of the move at the special town mecting this evening at 8 o'clock in the Town hall, Indications point to the substan- tiation of their claims as what little opposition which developed has not shown any Strength and probably will not be greatly effective this eve- ning. Town officlals throw their opin- fons with the affirmative in that the project will be approved. They fur- ther state that if the movies prove unsatisfactory as to quality, the shows may be haltéd and the permit revoked. Those at the hend of the official body state that the only evil apparent from the Sunday enter- tainment would be the showdug of films which would not be acceptable to the community and especially to the younger generation which would comprise the greater part of the audience, A call for a full attendance this evening has been sent out by First Selectman George B. Carter who re- that every voter attend the ccial session . Unless a representa- tive vote 1§ brought out, the dectsion will not be a strictly democratic ac- tion, he said. As interest in the meeting has died considerably of late, town fathers are anxious to re vive the original excitment which followed the introduction of the pe- tition caliing, for Sunday movies. The session will also vote on thi question of the release of a portion of Miller atreet lying southeasterly | of the new Beckley crossing to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Malarney Chosen Danicl Malarney has been chosen as the new manager of the Kensing- ton Athletic club ba: all team to succeed Patrick Buckley who had charge of the team last season. Juckley was slated for reclection to the position but declined on the grounds that business would not per- mit him to take over the duties which the post entailed. Malarney has long been one of the foremost cnthusiasts of the team and should prove capable in new position.

In business and social connections he had membership in club, Century association of New York city, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and local- ly had been president of the New Haven Country club, and an officer | of other clubs.
