Notably Fine Concert By Bass-Clef Norwich Men Singers, Under Direction of C. D. Geer, Pre- sented Excellent Programme— Big Audience Enthusi- astic in Applause — Assisting Artists Also Warmly | Greeted. Another brilflant mustes! event wes added to this season's niready full pro- sramme In the successful eoncert giv en by the Bass-Clef club on Frida evening at Siater hall. There was the usual widespread interest in the work f the club shown In the large audi- nce, which filled the entire hall, and there was the same, or even greater, enthusiasm manifested for the excel- jent programme presented. | The club is steadily galning in| strength and ability under Charles D/ Geer's skilful leaderskip, and is an or- | ganization of which the city may well | be proud. It was also happy In ita| chotce of a ng artists for this oc- | casion. M ce Ponner Williams of Boston, soprano, and Austin Hughes | of the Metropolitan Opera house, New Tork. tenor.

Mrs. Willlams _gave delightfully Wiegenlled, The Bird in the Wood, Shepherd, Thy Demecanor Vary, and To a Messer Wells' dainty little song of The Blfman wns added by her. The last number was The Omnipo. tence, given with harmeny by Mr. Hughes and the club. This was the second concert by the club in its third season, adding fresh proof to the statement made recently by a discriminating musical critie that Norwich, besides having a deep appre- ciation of the best in music, had de- veloped in the Bass-Clef a group of its own sinzers who would not suffer by comparison with similiar organ tions in many cities of much greater size.

At 8 o'clock the entertainment pro- gramme began with a well rendered selection by the Ideal Mandolin club followed by a humorous recitati Mother Hubbard, by Professor who was accorded en iastic applaus Botween the 4 Freddie, which was the parti ture of the evening, Mrs. Teossansee Simpson was heard in fine volce in the contralto solo Sing Me to Sleep, to which she gave as an encore Star of My Dreams, and there was an amusing reading, Pamela Spicer at the Beach, by Mrs. Mary Phillips. The Mandolin club, delightful playing was warmly received also rendered two selections. For the two act farce, ¥p to Freddie, which was given with an interpreta- tion that sent the house into frequent ursts of appreciative laughter . the following was the cast: ame s of the fare Grenville Lodge, an amatenr wright Andrew B.

Under the gulding /hand of Professor Maples, who had trained them for the production, the amateur cast blossomed out into almost pro- fessional ability in which the limelight of approval shone in turn upon each. In the role of Granville Lodge, who at. tempts to secure experience in the love game for use in hig play, Mr. Davis was capital as a bashful and em- barrassed suitor and had capable sup- port n Mr. James, who on onme oc- casion aseumed woman's attire to help out the situation. As Freddle, around whom much of the fun of the play centered, Mr. Whitney gave an easy and natural interpretation of the part that brought responsive applause as he struggled from one predicament to an- other since he “fawncied himself quite iwwesistible to all fair maidens,” ac- cording te the book. For the character of Marguerite Bur- net, Miss Lester was well chosen, act- ing with grace and dignity that filled ‘lhe part with interest. Mrs. Bliss as { chaperon contributed a vivacious and sprightly spirit to the part in admir- adle form. The four college girls were played by Miss Durr; Mias Jackson, Miss Brown, and Miss Rider, each fn | vesting her allotted role with a dis- tinet pes nality that made it stand out vividly for approval and contrib- uted to the effectiveness of the stage pfeture. Their adroit manceuvring to bring ‘Freddle to terms was one of the clever touches of the play and brought them Into well earned ap- lause for their clever work. The farce and the entertainment | programme were put on under the di- rection of the lecturer and her com- mittee, Miss Ella C. Lester, lecturer Mr Jacob Gallup, Mrs C. Jew- ett, and Mrs. Cecelie V TLester. The | proceeds of the evening will be used for regalla for the grange degree team and will amount to a considerable sum. CITY COURT APPOINTMENTS. | Kelly and Barnes Are Certain - for Judge and Deputy—Hall and Math- ewson Rumored for Other Places. (Special to The Bulletin.) The resolution appointing Thomas J. Kelly judge and John H. Barnes as- sistant’ judge of the city and police court of Norwich, which with ilke resolutions have been made the order of the day in the senate for next Tues- day, is plainly a deal in the committee | on the judiciary, which resulted in the | choice of a demiocrat for judge and a republican for assistant judge. It was supposed that the deal ended there, and perhaps it has, but there is a ru- mor afloat in the lobby of the capitol | that indicates there are more cards Lo | be played in the political game, While there no doubt of the ultimate ap- pointment of Messrs, Keily and Barnes, ’m« rumor js that there will be a string attached to the appointment, on | the end of which is the name of John | D, Hali, a republican, as prosecuting altorney, and Earl E, Mathewson as court_clerk. | 1t is generaiiy | capitel that ‘homas the a understood at M. Shields, | at supper and the audience for the en- | demoorat, is siated for the place, and the rumor of the appointment of Mr, Hall is the occasion of much comment Several members of the judiciary cem- existence of y such deal and say it exists wholly | in the mind of the lobbyists. The fact | remaing that the rumor is afloat and {in the ne future it will be revealed whether th. foundation for it. The | prosecuting attorney and clerk are ap- | pointed by the judge. AT THE AUDITORiIUM, Vaudeville and Motion Pictures. Another bill quite in keeping with the usual standard of excellence main- | tained by the Auditerium is offered during the last half of the week, and new numbers are of a variety and excellence whhich win the approval of all. The feature of Thursday’s mo- 101 ture programme was the two ! reel Kinemarolor western film, The Call of the Blood, which made a fine impression. George De Almo made a big hit with his banjo selections, offering a varied programme carried out in style which | won him enthusiastic applause. W. Browning has a lively line of com- | edy, and pleased with his rendering of humorous songs, exhibiting a pleasing voice. The big number of the vaude- ville programme is the comedy sketch, | That's Different, presented by Bddie | Phelan, assisted by Miss Doris Harvey | and Robert Harve; INDUSTRIES ALREADY % FEELING DEPRESSION. Capacity of Woolen and Worsted Mills Curtailed 50 Per Cont. Boston, May 23_Neither tariff changes mor financial panics hitherto have created such unsatisfactory conditions as now prevail, says the Transcript. There is no lack of llquid capital, efther at mills or in the wool | houses, yet there s a noticeable hes- itancy in making the usual commit- ments in wool. Manufacturers are curtailing pro- Auction to an extent rarely seen. One estimate is that not more than 50 per cent. of actual capacity is employed in | the woolen and worsted mills of New England, possibly of the country at large. With few exceptions, mostly mills making specialties of some sort, | the only plants being run anywhere | near to capacity are the knitting mills, This is due more to the way advance orders have to be placed in the hol ery ang underwear trades than to any exceptional demands in those lines at | present. Predictions are freely made | that not more than 25 per cent. of mill | capacity will be employed by the time the_tariff bill is finally adopted. | “Naturally this will leave a great | shortage of godds, as stocks of finished | farbrics are small both hers and | abroad. When the tariff question is | finally settled—the consenaus of opin- ion giving about the first of August— | a blg scramble for goods to supply the needs of the clothing trade is probable. Before that time a large accumulation of wool s IiKely. | A recent letter from Washington. | written by one in close touch with the | whole situation, says there 1s little doubt that free wool will be the out- | come. Members of the suh-com- | mittes of the Senate Minance Com- | mittee, to whom has been intrusted | the special conslderation of schedule | X, come rom Missouri, Kentucky and | Colorado states which have practlcally | no wool manufacturing industries, and | which tesether have only about elght | per cent. of the sheep and six per cent. of the preduction of wool of the whole | country. Neither weel growers nor manufacturers can expect sympathetic treatment [~~ & committee made up in this manner. | Apparently, the only point not yet | settled is the actual date when the new rates on goods are to go Into effect, | Individual opinion polnis to free wool | at once on the passege of the bill, the new rates on goods to go into effect {about four months later, This s known to be President Wilson's idea as to the proper allowance of time in which munufactorers ahould be able to work off old stocks of wool and clesn up all orders for guods taken on the old basis. A general curtallment appears to be in progress. In wost wmills the ia- chinery is being stopped as fust as current orders are run out. Cancel- lations of orders have been very heavy and the mills aresnot disposed to pile up goods under the present uncertain conditions. Thelr purchases of waol are less than are absolutely needed for the completion of orders, as they are afraid to completely cover orders actually on the books, fearing cancel- lations.
