SUNSHINE SAMMY AT STRAND The little star of the “Our Gang’ comedies, Sunshine Sammy, is play- | ing & vaudeville engagement at the | Strand in person today and Satur- | day with his two younger brothers, | Charlie and Little Joe. Many will | remember the broad grin and happy smile of this colored boy in the comedies with Farina, Fatty, Freckles and the rest of the gang, and will be surprised to see Sammy | grown bigger than can be realized. S8ammy is some stepper in vaude- ville and with his two brothers of- fer an excellent dance act that wins much applause for them. Other se- | lect acts include the McDonald Trio | in a novelty cycle act that is well done; John Regay and Co. present a skit called “Western Capers” that embraces comedy, songs and dances, ‘well presented; Villa and Strigo are very entertaining with a unique mu- | sical offering, and Buzzington's | Band offers “A Rube Rehearsal” | that brought down the house. The photoplay feature presents a great story in “Prep and Pep,” a| tale of youth that is bright and breezy from end to end. The back- grounds are at the Culver Military academy and David Rollins and | “WINGS” AT CAPITOL For two more days, today and Saturday, the Capitol will offer the great air picture, “Wings," with sound. Many New Britainites have seen this production and marvelled at it, and those who have not yet | seen “Wings" should not miss this last opportunity of today and Sat- urday to see this thrilling epic of the air. “Lion and Mouse"—Sunday “The Lion and the Mouse,” War- ner Brothers' extended run produc- tion, comes to the Capitol theater next Sunday for a four-day run. The all-star cast is headed by two of the most popular actors of the acreen, May McAvoy and Lionel Barrymore. The forceful presence and man- ner of Barrymore makes him the most obvious of all choices to play the lion of the financial world. “Ready Money” Ryder. And May McAvoy, the piquant and petite, is in delightful contrast as the sly and wily little “mouse” who nibbles the hopes of greed which bind the rich man'’s better nature. The means by which Shirley, the ‘mouse,” accomplishes the remak- ing of Ryder, the rejuvenation of Nancy Drexel are featured in the |her father, and the capture of Ry- Beginning Sundey for four days the Strand will offer Billie Dove in | her latest, “Adoration,” a story of struggle and toil and a romance that will go down in your memory as one of the finest this popular star has ever done. Antonio Moreno | is her leading man. | T0Y PRODUCTION der's happy-go-lucky son. the |substance of the enthralling story, AT HIGH HARK Five Millions ‘ Washington, Nov. 23 (UP)—On Christmas morning the young Amer- ican girl will be fondling ten million dollars worth of dolls while the American Small Boy will be prepar- ing to wreck about fifteen million dollars of rolling stock in the form of toy automobiles, airplanes, wag- ons and trains. American worship of Santa Claus makes toy production one of the country's typical Big Businesses, susceptible of measurement in the large round numbers which delight | the government scientist. Production in the United States, according to the lastz Bureau of Census compilation available, amounted to about $75,000,000 an- nually, of which dolls alone ac- counted for nearly twelve million dollars, with one and one-half mil- lion extra for the miniature ward- | robe, and nearly three million for her carriages and carts. The present year probably has witnessed an increase in this pro- duction. Ordinarily, the domestic toy mills are incapable of meeting the e- quirements of the American top trade, and there is a heavy annual | importation from Germany and, Japan. Imports from Germany amount to four to six millian dollars an- | nually and from Japan three to four million; Czechoslovakia, France and England ship lesser quantities, Germany provides large quanti- ties of Christmas tree ornaments, wooden toys, and toy musical in- struments; Japan sends paper and celluloid toys. The contribution of American industry to the children's merry Christmas consists largely of toys of mechanical or educational nature. Among the former are toy airplanes, locomotives, power sta- tions, signal cars, and spring-oper- ated Robots in miniature. tional toys include building blocks, construction sets, drawing and painting sets, and wax modeling outfits.

No King for Hungary Premier Announces Budapest, Hungary, Nov. 23 (®— Premier Bethlen caused great sur- prise and disappointment through- out Hungary by declaring at & ban- quet of liberal leaders last night that the question of the election of & king must be put emphatically in the background. He said the coun- | try had other things to do. Yalue Likely to Exceed Seventy-? The throne of Hungary has been vacant since the abdication in 1918 of the late King Charles. Premier Bethlen on October 14 said the country would soon hold a referen- dum to select a king. A few days later a dispatch from Rome to the Budapest newspaper Pesti Horlap quoted Premier Mus- solini of Italy as being utterly op- posed to the restoration of the Hapsburgs to the Hungarian throne. | | Monster Eel Nabbed Off WatchvHill, R. L. Noanlk, Nov. 23 (UP)—A monster sea eel, rivalling in size and strength the legendary sea serpents of old, Was captured in a fish net off Watch Hill, R. I, by the fishing smack “Ethel H." The eel. which was the largest cver seen in this fishing community, | was 735 feet long and weighed 27 pounds. It was shipped to a New York market today. Captain Elmer Hewitt of the Ethel H. said the eel fought nearly 20 minutes and tore a net to shreds before it was subdued. K. OF C.

Bestrics Ames Reviewe: Phillip Barry has pulled the cork out of another bottle of sparkling wine and the pop should be music to the ears of Broadway for a long time to come. “The Dollar,” Barry's new com- edy, was presented last night at Parsons theater, Hartford, by Arthus Hopkins. It was not only a theatri- cal event, it was a society event as well. Hope Williams, a daughter of the ultra ultras in her own right, was greeted by an audience com- posed for a goodly part of people who never show the slightest trace of self-consciousness in the pres- ence of their butler. It was quite a gala function. So much for one side of the foot- lights. The play is a smart enter- tainment at double quick time. ' Its lines are pithy and rich in wit. Johnny Case, an ambitious lad who sprang from p. but h. parents, has fought his own way in life since the age of 16 or thereabouts. He has finally mastered law and is interest- ed in the stock market. While at Lake Placid he megts Julia Seton. And, love being like that, they are engaged within two weeks. When Johnny visits Julia at her New York home he discovers, to his surprise, that she is one of the Setons whose name is synonymous with innumer- able millions. He also discovers Father, an imperturbable money grubber who believes that no one is really anyone unless he has a vein of gold somewhere and veins in his body filled with blue blood. Linda Seton, Julia's sister, being what our modern juveniles call & good egg, takes a liking to Johnny who is without pretense in every- thing he does. Julia, on the other hand, is Inclined to pattern after Father Seton. She and Johnny can- not seem to harmonize their view- points on money, and Linda, who has seen the effects of too much wealth on human beings and whose heart is empty for something real —but you'd better see the show. Miss Williams is superb as Linda Seton. She has a boyish way about her that is lovable in a girl. Her deb mannerisms help greatly to make “The Dollar” worth while. Ben Smith {8 convincing as Johnny. Dorothy Tree, Monroe Owsley, Bar- bara White and Donald Ogden Stew- art also are good. Walter Walker makes a splendid rich father type. “The Dollar” is at Parsons for the rest of the week with a matinee tomorrow.

Brin- ley and Benjamin Hitchcock, both of Newington, through Attorney Yale 8able, claiming damages re- sulting from an automobile accident on October 14 on the Newington road when the plaintiff’s car was damaged considerably being forced of the road by a truck operated by Hitchcock, it is alleged. In the complaint the plaintiff claims that Hitchcock was travelling on the left side of the road directly opposite the plaintiff, and in order to avoid a head-on collision he was compelled to turn sharply to one side and off the traveled course, striking a telegraph pole. The plain- tift further claims that there was no contributory negligence on his pert fnasmuch as he was on the right side of the highway. Paper were served by Constable Raymond V. Halleran.

Roman J. Nuwer, Catholic chaplain of the 106th Fed Artillery, has resigned his post. The formal military communica- |tion of resignation was sent to Col. Douglas P. Walker, commanding of- ficer of the regiment. The com- mandant declined to say what ac- tion would be taken, Rev. Nuwer's letter of resignation in part read: “The recent national election re- vealed the suspected fact that the majority of people in the United States, especially in New York state, apply the religious test to the can- didate for president of the United States. Inasmuch as I am a Cath- olie, even more 50 a priest, the ma- jority of the people of the United States question the compatibility of my religion with good citizenship during the time of peace. It is very embarrassing to serve my country under such a cloud of mistrust and suspicion.” Rev. Nuwer spent seven months en northern France fronts and five months with the army of occupa- tion in Germany.
