Central Park Casino High Opening Night Invitation Affair Very “Toney” — Decorator Reads Poems on Own Decorations for Building New York, June § (UP) — The Central Park casino, which serious- ly threatens to become the Deau- ville of Manhattan Ilsland, was flung open to the “general public” last night to the tune of three jazs bands and a $10 cover charge. The “general public” didn’t even ‘bother to send its regrets, for it wasn't invited anyway. 8o to the “four hundred” plus 200 more in. vited guests went the privilege of kicking - the first varnish off the chairs at New York's most exclu- sive dancing and dining emporium. v Invitation Afair Although Anthony J. Drexel Bid- dle, jr., .and his associates had as- sured New Yorkers that anyone could dine at the casino—if he had the price—it developed that invita- tions had been sent ‘out, and that more invitations would be sent out tonight, tomorrow night and many another night. Perhaps it was just as well that the “general public” did not get in. It might have starved while trying to get something to eat out of « menu that included: Cardinal de Mer a L'Americaine, poussin de- sosse Armenonville, aspereges vertes sauce Mousseline and = coruer ro- maine flamande. That wasn't the half of it, but it was enough ‘to be- wilder some of the *four hundred,” rlus 200, who awaited all a-quiver to know what the were going to eat. It developed that what they ate Hat as Excludgs “Public”’ was fish, peas, asparagus and straw- berry ice cream. ¥ Food Simply Swell But, you can take it from some of the guests, the food was simply swell. Then arose Mr. Joseph Urban and passed out poems. The poems were in praise of the decorations, which, oddly enough, had ‘been done by Mr. Joseph Urban. The poems explained that in the main dining room “broad surfaces of silver give & neutral background to a pulsating rhythm of maroon and green which rises to & crescendo of purple, blue and green.” After dinner the guests were at liberty to stroll into the amall din- ing room in which “gray fumed khotty pine, a ruddy ceiling and coarse materials of vigorous tex. ture and pattern establish the at- mosphere designed to be auitablo for breakfast after a morning ride, a leisurely intimate Iuncheon and a refuge for diners driven from the terrace by sudden storms.” The quotation marks are Mr. Ur- ban's. Revival Promised Tt was some six weeks ago that Biddle, Florenz Ziegfeld, Adolph Zukor and William Rhinelander Stewart announced they were going to revive the glory of the casino where gentle-folk rested their bi- cycles against the veranda and swallowed mint juleps in the nine- ties. The *‘general public,” of course, was to be invited. That was why no one could understand why the place was searched so carefully for stow- aways, why a special squad of po- lice eyed guests coldly and even secemed a trifle suspicious of the two princesses and the admiral who waved their invitations. Both Princess Rospigiliosl and Princess Lobkowicz convinced the detectives they belonged at the NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1929. party and soon Admiral Harris also sailed safely through the outer de- fenses. Poems in hand, the guests stroll- ed through the lobby where “ab- sence of ornament and reliance upon pure proportion serve as a foil to the more formal rooms.” From there they journeyed to the pavilion where “the freshness of spring flowers and joyousness of a wind among young leaves inspired the decoration.” And so—far, far into the night. Showered With Oranges When Struck by Truck Stanley Sapko, 16, of 82 West street, was crossing Main street carrying a crate of oranges yester- day and a dump truck owned by Frank McKeon of Percival avenue, Kensington, moved forward as a load of bricks slid off under Mc- Keon’s direction. The bumper of ihe truck struck Sapko and knocked him down under a shower of oranges. _ McKeon took him to Dr. N. B. Jaffe, who found a few scratches on his legs. AGE-OLD BATTLE Winnipeg, Canada, June 5. — Neighbor's chickens and tin cans in other people’s back yards have start- ed many a grudge fight. And that's what ruined a perfectly good friend- ship between Jeter Jankowski and his neighbor Snicack—at least the cans did. Jankowski saw Snicack throwing cans in his yard and went out to stop him. “I'll kill you even it its costs me $50,” Snicack wound up the argument. He then hit Jan- kowski with a rake. In court Snicack was fined $50. ‘WORSTED LEADER DEAD Providence, June 5 M—Alfred M. Lister of this city, president of the Colored Worsted Mill and a leading figure in Rhode Island's woolen in- dustry, died at his home here late yesterday.

Vatican City, June § (P —Osser- vatore Romano publishes this eve- ning an open letter from the pope to Cardinal Gasparri relative to the lateran accords, in which his holi- ness deplores “worse than heretical expressions as to the very essence of Christianity and Catholicism” ‘n speeches of Premier Mussolini be- fore the Italian chamber and sen- ate. Outlines Pope’s Position The letter contains a complete exposition of the pontiff's position with regard to the duce’s speeches advocating acceptance of the lateran accords in the chamber May 13 and in the senate. “We least of all expected hereti. cal and worse than heretical ex- pressions as to the very essence of Christianity and Catholicism,” his holiness declared in the letter to Cardinal Gasparri. “There has been an attempt to ¢ you cant substitute adjectives : for engineering /4 When somebody invents a €] car that will run on ‘superla- LQ " iyl iy - 17 still seems a long way off.
