ADORATION IS BILLIE DOVE SPECIAL Strand Theater Books One of Season's Best Two of the screen's most com- pelling interpreters of the soft pas- sion are Billie Dove and Antonio Moreno who appear in the former starring picture for First National “Adoration,” which comes S8unday to the Strand theater for four days. There are numerous scenes of per- fervid emotion in this story of Rus- sia and France in the days of revo- lution and afterwards. They are & prince and princess of Muscovy, they are torn apart when the red tide flows over the land and through an error he believes her unfaithful. In the end it all results in happiness, even when the luxuries to which they have been accustomed have been stripped away. But in the moments of love, there is a realism that reaches sublime heights of passion and stamps the beautiful star and the handsome leading man as perfect exponents of emotionalism in pictures. Frank Lloyd directed the picture, and the cast are Lucy Loraine. eminent European star of UFA, Nicholas Soussanin, Nicholas Bela, Winiffed Bryson, Emile Chautard and others, The vaudeville program with this feature will present an the head- liner “Stepping Aheax with the Broadway fiwyrlte Sonny Hinds and the Rah Rah"Girls Other acts in- clude DeMarlo and Marletta in “The Whirl of Deatl Ross and Gilbert, a pair of smart entertainers, and others. On Thursday the new program will bring “Remance of the Under- world” as the feature movie attrac- tion with Mary Astor and Ben Bard leading. There will akso be a special holiday bill of vaudeville presented. SLATEE. W, CHRIST FOR HEAVY BERTH Gossips Link His Name With Two Assembly Posts Early echoes at the capitol in lartford center around New Britain, Dristol and Merilen because of the majorities turned over to the repub- lican party in the election. Meriden and Bristol were safely in the re- publican columns so New Britain becomes the logical point to strengthen the republican state ma- chine. Waterbury, in days gone by, cived the nomination for Gover- nor, when the republicans made an attempt to get it on their side by giving the coveted honor to Charles Templeton. The republican scnator elect from New Britain, Ernest W. Christ is in line for chairman of the committee on finance, so the rumors go. He was on the committec on finance wlien he was in the lower brauch of the assembly and the legislators take the appointment as a matter of course, His name also has been coupled with the office of president pro tem. of the senate, but that ap- pointment is by no means as sure as the finance chairmanship. Sena- tor Roy Wilcox of Meriden is a log- ical candidate, being a member of the last senate. The supporters of Wilcox have the argument on their | slde that New Britain has fared well by having ‘the Attorney . General, Benjamin W. Alling, and the com- missioner of finance Edward F. Hall. Others have gone so far as to say that Governor John H. Trumbull is all but a local man. In order to kéep the other sections passified, the New Britain delegation can not demand too much, although, _ it so happens that Senator Wiggox is all wrapped up in the fish and ne committee and might withdraw from the race for president pro tem. Another com- mittee which Mr. Christ's name has been coupled with is the com- mittee on manufacturers which is considered a minor committee and a | Jogical ome to select after the im- portant chairmanship of the com- mittec on. finance is sccured. 1t is conceded, however that Mr. Christ can seloct his job and the senators arc prone to smile on the finance committee position as next to th~ cha president pro tem. line. as the third in Rengston and Lange Thure Bengston ard William F. Lange are newcomers to the assem. bly, but are assured important posi- tions on committees, because of thelr personal popularity which dil much to gwing New Britain into the republican columns. Bengston is a member of Eddy-Glover Post, Amer- can Legion, which strongly points to him as a member of the military affairs committee, a much coveted prize among ex-servicemen. Another important committee which Beng- ston might secure is the one on ci- ties and boroughs. the purifying channel for charter amendments. Tt will be remembered that his busi- nes partner, Elmer W. Pape, was a member of this committee when he represented his district in Newington & few years back. Mr. Lange might land the com- mittee on appropriations, although he is the real point of speculation of the New Britain delegation. There is one thing sure, however, and that is he will secure important ap- Victory Dance RIA LTO“B.:‘:LROOM TONIGHT Imperial Orch. rmanship of the judiciary with pointments due to the desire of the state republican machine to make sure the doubtful city of New Brit- ain. All members of the legislature register modesty when asked about appointments at such an early date, but history repeats itself at Hart- ford. It is true that the democrata have a larger working force this year which may change the tactics of the “pickers” somewhat so the abova statements are ones of specu- lation enly. Link Walcott With Cabinet Capitol gossip persists in iinking the name of United States Senator- elect Frederic C. Walcott of Nor- folk with a cabinet pesition under the Hoover regime. It will be re. membered that Walcott was Hoov- er's right hand man during the war, apd there is strong friendship between the two men. “The rumors link Walcott Gp with. the secretary | of commerce portfolio. In the event that Walcott is offered and accepts, the state republican machine is due for a fine battle among the down and up state factions. The interesting part of this fight, would develop when the upstate boys would try to put Governor Trumbull over to take Walgott's place. It that were the case, Lieu- tenant Governor-elect Ernest E. Rog. ers of New London would be gov- ernor and the president pro tem. of the senate would become lieutenant governor. Leaders will say that they have not given this matter much thought, but, for ages, politi- cal leaders have looked to the fu- ture, and J. Henry Roraback, the republican boss, is no exception to the rule. Queer things have hap- pened in Connecticut politics in the past, and there is the possibility that Roraback might take the sen- ator's job himself prodded on by o desire to avoid hard feelings, should the scramble for the senatorship develop. LAUDS GUARDSHEN FOR EFFICIENGY Maj. Gen. Hammond Includes Gonnesticut Men in Praise By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Correspondent, B. Heraid) Washington, D. C.

One man was quoted as saying that he didn't know the where in the world so many couplgs came from. They stand against the fences and coo until some of the neigh- bors threaten to turn the hose on them. The property owners on the street ,stated that they realized that there was no law against couples going acourting or they would have called in the police a long time ago. Ho ever they declared that unless it was stopped they would prepare a peti- tion to the common council asking that measures be taken to stop it. In that period Lake street was the favorite place for “spooners” but later Hartford avenue became the mecca. The story went on to tell of the outrageous lack of responsibility shown by the couples and the horror with which the people in that di: trict greeted the doings of the future citizens.
