CAMEO, BRISTOL The Cameo theater in Bristol pre- sents the Garrick Players, Connec- ticut's finest stock company in one of the most ~delightful com: dramas “Mary's Other Husband.” This marks the fourth production that the Garrick Players have brought to Bristol. Their previous plays- have met with unusual re- sponse from playgoers and have re- sulted in an insistent demand for their weekly return. The Garrick Players will be seen every Wednesday and Thursday aft- ernoon and evening. The prices arc popular and seats may be reserved by telephone in advance, by calling Bristol 1860, The Cameo also offers its parking space for 500 cars. free NEW GRAND—HARTFORD Diversified, as well as entertain- ing in every way, is Frank Damsel's new version of his poputar “High Flyers,” which is now playing at the New Grand theater in Hartford. Damsel is an astute showman and changes his production with each swing around the Mutual circuit, and this year's attraction is asserted to excel even the super offerings he has presented in previous seasons. With lavish hand he has constructed a plece combining old and new burlesaue in a happy blending, and peopled with some of the best play- ers in stageland. Heading the cast are two favorites of last season but supplied with a plentitude of new material, Mike Sacks, the funny Hebrew character comedian, and Frances Farr, the pretty prima donna. Other leads in- clude Thelma Benton, a young bru- nette soubrette, who sings, dances and plays the piano; Evelyn Forrest, a harmony-singing ingenue who ap- pears 1n a specialty with Phil Kel- ley, the struightman of the piece, and John Fagan, the second comic, who plays an Irish character role. Sydney Leonard is regarded as one of the most expert of the younger crop of juveniles. Penna. Man Hit 4 Cars In West Springfield | Springficld, Mass.
