e NEW YORK PLAYERS VISIT TORRINGTON Tnvited fo Luncheon of Woman’s Club of That City Members of the New York Players who are presenting their second play “Coquette” at the Capitol theater in New Britain were guests of the Tor- rington Woman's club this afternoon at 1 o'clock at Conley Inn. Lawrence Anhalt, the producer, spol on his work in the theater, his friendships with men and women prominently connected witn the stage, and re-| lated anecdotes concerning these personages. Three members of the cast, Miss ¥dna Archer Crawford, John Bree- den and Franklin George who is seen for the first time this week and 15 to be a permanent member of the company, were at the luncheon with nhalt. Miss Crawford's reminiscence of her association with many of the leading people of the world of the stage Jack Maclennan, son of Franc Maclennan whose tenor volce was | heard at the = Metropolitan Opera House in New York in Wagnerian roles, has joined the players. His nother, I'lorence Jaston is also a singer of note and she and Francis Maclennan are now on concert tour. Mr. Maclennan naturally is paying | particular attention to his voice | training, but his versatility has led him to appear in many roles here and abroad. Born in Canada, he was taken to Europe when he was only two years old. After attending schools in Germany and Switzerland he returned to America to enter the University of Vermont, but left be- fore graduating—to start his stage career at the Old “Vic” theater in l.ondon where he had Shakespearean roles and did specialty dances in operas. He then toured Great Brit- ain in the musical comedy, “Blue Kitten.” In 1927 Mr. Maclennan again re- turned to America to appear in Sam Harris' production “Mirrors.” After the run of this play he decided to have a go at a business career, en- tering a New York banking institu tion. But that was short-lived be- cause he realized his world and am- bitions lay in the theater. The comedy role of Joe Reynolds | in “Coquette,” marks his return to | the professional stag: | MYSTERIOUS SUIT INCGHRISTY DEATH Heirs Sue Brokerage Firm Where Man Shot Himsell Worcester, 3 (ULP)— Heirs of Austin P. founder of the Worcester Telegram who shot himselt fatally in the Worcester of- fices of J. §.
