Several local names have been en- tered in to the contest. Our feature picture for tonight is William Fox's supreme attraction “The Wheel” with Harrison Ford and Claire Adams. It deals with struggle of young wife to save hus- band from ruin. Double feature bill is offered for tomorrow. “The Outsider” with Jacqueline Logan and Lou Tellegen. The companion feature will be Jack Perrin in “Laffin’ Fool.” TALKING MOVIES AT LYCEUM The talking movies at the Lyce- um representing Puck and White, versatile Broadway comedians in their own variety of rube comedy offerings, songs and dances, and Miss Powell, operatic star in a ser- ies of classical and semi-classical sopranos make this feature one of the best parts of the program now being shown. Also, there is a dou- | ble feature photodrama bill bring- ing Belle Bennett, star of Stella Dallas, in “The Fourth Command- ment” and the smashing railroad melodrama “Red Signals.” “The Fourth Commandment” is a gripping story which tugs at the heart strings, at times brings smiles and laughs and throughout tellz a powerful story of everyday life. “Red Signals” stars Eva Novack, Wallace MacDonald and the late | Earle Willlams and {s a story of a great railroad's fight against a band of marauding thieves who wreck trains, loot the freight and even take the lives of railroad employes.

LIONS SEEK FUNDS T0 AID RED CROSS Expect Total fo Reach $200 Be- fore End of Wesk A fund for Red Cross relief of the flood victims in the Mississippi valley was started today among the | members of the Lion's club to add | to the commuhity fund. Although most of the members have already made contributions 1t 1s predicted ! that the club contribution will be at | least $200 before it is closed. A c; l- lection taken at the noon lunch 4 today to start the fund among lhe members amounted to $57. The di- rectors will meet in a short time to consider a motion to add $100 more to this amount and members of the | club who have not yet been solicited will be seen during the week. Although it is against the consti- | tution of Lions’ clubs to solicit funds during meetings, Lions’ International has granted a special ispensation | for the present crisis. Brief addresses were made by Philip Jakob of Norwalk, district deputy from that district, and by R. F. Lund, superi1sor of nature.study, for the state board of education. Michael A. Bannan, high commis- | isioner of the Lions’ bas:ball contest | inaposed fines for charges ranging all the way from insubordination to irascibility upon A. J. DeLaurler.[ which totalled $21.75. Against this amount were credits for construc- tive criticism, etc., of $2 The difference of 20 cents was collected by the commissioner's sccretary, L. W. Vogel.

Somerset Maugham's story, was pre- sented to a capacity house by the Poli Players at the Hartford Palace last evening, and it was a visibly im- pressed audience that left—impress- ed with the power and humanness of the story and doubly impressed by, the histrionic ability of the two prin- cipals, Miss Marion Grant as Cadie Thompson and Walter Scott Weeks as the Rev. Alfred Davidson. Others in the' cast contributed good work, but these two were supreme. As Sadie Thompson, the girl of the streets, stranded on the island of Paga Paga, harassed by the one- way-minded missionary until she too becomes fanatically possessed of the desire of repentance, the moral struggle of the missionary and his final subjugation in his own battle of flesh against spirit, his paying of the price with his own life and the re- turn of Sadie Thompson to the char- acter she was before meeting the minlster, all stamp the work of the | ‘lwo stars as excellent. Hoydenish, rough, uncouth, insulting and then tender, lovable, trusting, dazed only to again become the -rough little woman of scarlet, Miss Grant's act- ing was at all times remarkably true to the role she played and she was compelled to respond to #everal en- cores. No less impressive was Mr. Weeks. The severe, domineering mis- sionary who through years of lone- liness in a foreign clime had become ! a czar of his religion, a fanatic of | .. his beliefs, could hardly have been better portrayed than by Mr. Weeks. Edmund Abbey as Joe Morn, the trader, lent his inimitable character acting to his semi-comic role, and Fanny Ray as his native wife played ‘ ss Patsy Ann O'Neal a character that of the misslonary's wife, and Robert Perry as the philosophical Dr. McPhall left little to be desired in the interpretation of this whim- up to him.
