LIONS CLLUB SHON WARMLY RECEIVED “Socioty Gircas” for Benalit of i s Gl New Britain esekers of entertain- ment, long favored with the best ob- tainable in amateur prpducuon-.eu— thusiastically received the first of three performances of the Lions So- clety Circus last night at the Capitol theater, and at the same time were Carlson, Bill McNamara, George Cormier, Johnnie McNamara, Frank Clynes, Willlam Bunting, George Lynch and Willlam Cormier. The balladists are Francis Egan, Thure Johnson, John J. Kiniry, Harry Shahanian and James D, Donahue. In the harmony circle are: Fred Macomber, Gunnar Olander, F. W. Henderson, Rudy Anderson, John F. Burna, E. B. Morse, John Kereilaza and the soloiata. ‘While the entire show deserves the most glowing compliment that can be given, the work of Frank Clynes 1s espectally noteworthy. Both in his so0lo number and in his harmonizing one of the main reasons fr the suc- cess of the performange. Had the management been successful in | booking Matt Callahan for one of privileged to contribute through jthe other ends a marked improve- their attendance to one of the most’ worthy of benevolent works—pro- viding for needy children. The production from the firet to the last reflected the unbending ef- forts of the Lions club to stage a show worthy of going down in the history of Lions frolics and the play- ers went through their acta, large and small, with a dash and a finish that one could not fall to appreciate was attributable in & great measure to the knowledge that their ob- jectives were such that thelr utmost effort was warranted. Tonight and tomorrow night they will repeat the performance., The Capitol theater has been rented for the first three days of the week and the scenery, appropriate ecenery that it is, has been placed in form for tonight's show. Members of the committee said at the close of the performance last night that some tickets remain on hand for the two shows yet to be played, but confi- dence waa expressed that the favor- able comment heard as last night's patrons filed out of the theater will result in a sell-out. Give Credit to Rosenberg Charles Gaa is director. He staged the Lions frolic of last year and es- tablished himself as one worthy of the task of preparing New Britain's amateurs for presentation of the very best that I8 within them. Israel Rosenberg, whose reputation as a pianist s such that little need be said of his connections with this particular show, i8 pianist for the minstrel feature. Mr. Rosenberg has been heard in the past chiefly in classical work. His accompaniment to ragtime and ballad in last night's pertormance clearly establishes his versatility,. To him, Director ‘Gaa and members of the committee at- tribute much of the show's success. To resort to a more or less hack- neyed expression, the novelty bits interspersed through the show were “kmockouts.” Displaying greatly di- versified talents, the New Britain performers—and there are none but local entertainers throughout, one act accepted—scored repeatedly, the audience first calllng for, then de- manding, encore after encore until the players were almost begging for the privilege of dashing into the wings and resting. In the “Silent Prompter,” the in- ventive genfus of a prompter (Clement Lewis), is taxed to its fullest degree as he successfully at- tempts to convey, without speaking, missing lines to the principals in an act (Helen Brennan and Merritt Homason.) The skit is replete with funny situations. Twin Sisters in Act Patricia and Alicla Mangan, billed among the show's headliners, had no difficulty in lving up to their press- agent's claim. “We moderns” is an appropriate title for the twin sister act. The second part, “The Circus Minstrels” opens with & circus scene with Joseph Luke and Frank Charbon, local acrobats, and Joanne Mayer, the circus queen, presenting ment in that’ feature Deen made., Numbers would hawe . deserving of special mention are: “Silver Moon,” by Francis Egan; “When Day is Done,” by Thure Johnson; *Just Like a | Butterfly,” by John Kiniry; “Diane,” | by Harry Shahanian; “Watching the World Go By,” by James Dopahue. The last number is deserving of sents a difficult ballad in a most pleasing way while Director Gaa has worked a chorus epecialty into it with great effect. The performances tonight and to- morrow night will begin at 8:15 o'clock. Last night's show ran two and one half hours. The opening act is “Memories.” With Rev. 8. A. Fiske as father, Mrs. Inez son, the curtain yesteryear arc under discussion. The melodies of memories and | dances of another day are presented by Edna Peterson and J. Kiniry, Jane Maric Carmen Giannotti, William_Bunting, Carmen Gagliardi, Helen Ruth Bassette and Ernest Casperson, cempany. | Little Dancer Scores Louise Herrmanp, diminutive toc dancer, fluttered through one of the most captivating numbers of the show. The little miss with her mil- | lion dollar smile was required to ap- | ear five times in encores, and even |then the audience allowed her to bow off the stage with reluctance. Miss Descola, Carmen’ Giannotti and Carmen Gagliardi are also | youthful members of the cast, but one would not so guess judging their work from a standpoint of ability. Fdna Peterson and Lawrence have an old-fashioned waltz number, Mil- dréd Hellberg and Irancis Clynes are cake-walkers, extraordinary. Miss Bassette und Mr. Casperson do a bowery dande, Helen Lynch a pa- triotic specialty, Willlam Bunting a clog dance, and Miss Beloski a most pleasing ballad. It is during Miss Be- leski’s number that Little Miss Herr- mann makes her appearance. “Sensible Conversation” {s the title of an act featuring Walter Carl- son and George Lynch. They have a line.of dialogue that is highly enter- taining and brand new. Messrs, Carl- son and Lynch are among the first of local amateurs to get away from the traditional, “Who-was-the-lady- I-scen-you-with” line of chatter, and the change is most acceptable, The Hartford Lions quartet with Robert Morris, Charles B. Beach, Raymond Grand and Bunny Mullins | displayed harmony that must be heard to be appreclated. Their act is very good. TO TOUR U.

Fears of relatives for |the safety of the men had been al- |layed, whenuat a late hour last night, [{the rescue squad reported they had heard, “All's well” shouted by one of the imprisoned men, The mine §s located at Oneida, near here, and is owned by the Le- high Valley Coal company. Shortly after 1:30 o'clock . yester- |day afternoon, a cave-in caught the inine men working in No. 1 slope. Their one avenue of escape was cut {off by a heavy wall of coal and slag, ;foulul later to be at least 50 feet in ithickness, ’ It was after they had dug a hole 35 fect deep from the outside that |the rescuers heard the heartening |call “All's well.” The last 15 feet of thickness was negotiated while the crowds which had gathered at the mouth of the mine for some word from the im- prisoned men, slowly dispersed and went home, N he rescuers found the men ui harmed shortly before 2 a. m., and lifted them through the apperture and took them to the surface. A year ago last November six men | - AFTER 57 YEARS were caught and held imprisoned by a flood in the Tomhickon mine of the same company for a week. Five of them were resgued alive but the other miner was drowned. _ City Items Clifton E. Davenport has become assoclated with the Hartford offices of the Bankers Capital company of Connecticut.
