The first of the new Olga Petrova pictures, as seem at the Dayis Theatre this week, introduces the star in a war Playing the part of an American diplomat’s daughter, she frees herself of a German husband, and the way is paved for her wedding to the Prince of a mythical kingdom. The other feature was an Ince pro- duction, featuring Charles Ray. They say that esery family has its hidden skeleton- s something that is néver spoken of save with bated breath —a sort of bete noir—but in Charles Ray's_family—that is, in his picture “The Family Skeleton”—this Bete noir is only imaginary. The queer part of it all is that the hero—whose particu- lar skeleton is that he fancies himself an incurable drunkard—suffers far more than if his trouble had been real. How he is cured by his sweetheart— played by Sylvia Bremer, is interest- ingly shown. Other players on the cast are Andrew Arbuckle, Billy El- mer, Otto Hoffman and Jack Dyer.

Shot Kinney Three Times. Kinney tried to assist Mr, Chap- man but before he could go anything for him Salsberry broke out the pane of glass in the window and shot three times at Kinney, each shot taking ef- fect. One shot entered his left breast neat the heart, another hit him in the arm and as he was turning to get away the third shot hit him in the back. Kinney died almost instantly, but Chapman managed in his wound- ed condition to_walk up the road al- most to his own home before he was forced to give up because of the loss of blood. Mr. Chapman’s son Ar- thur. seeing his father, went and help- ed him to the house, Doctors Attend Chapman. Drs. Louis T. Cassidy and J. J.

I heard one of the men shout to my husband, “You pegged Jegged, bald- headed ———, come out or we'll mur- der you” My husband, who neither smokes, chews or drinks and is striet- ly a truthful man, Gid not reply and the men shouted, “Come out or we'll break the door in.” Then it was that I heard ome shot. I went into the kitchen, but my husband was mot there and the last T saw of him was when he was sitting in the chair by the window when I went into the bedroom to put the baby to bed. Had Had Trouble. ‘When asked if there had been any trouble between the Chapmans and the Salsberry’s, she stated that some time ago’ there had been 'trouble over a cow and some chickens.

INTERPRETIVE DANCES ON MUSICAL PROGRAMME Nofwich Musical Association Ends Season—Big Audience at Siater Hall, The Norwich Musical _Association held its last meeting for the season at Slater Hall on Monday evening. A large and appreciative audience thor- oughly enjoved the interesting pro- gramme which consisted of singing by the Woman's Chorus and interpretive dances given by Miss Suzanne Gallau- det, formerly of Norwich. Following the “Hymn to Mausic, which, as usual, opened the evening’s programme, the Woman’s Chorus gave The Sirens, a song of the sea, with much expression and sweetness. The accompaniment, particularly har- monious and rippling, with an’ insis- tent reiterating union melody, was sympathetically played by Miss H. Louise Fuller at the piano, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Lane, violin, Wil, liam A. Ricker, violincello, and Ben- jamin -H. Palmer, Jr., flute. Miss Gallaudet then delighted the audience with a_trio ,of dances, Moods, _ Whims-Schuman, Aurore, Rondnio-Kreisler, and Zephyr, Lieb- estrena-Kreisler, endowing all three with sprightly charm and individual- ity. After witnessing with a finished performance as hers, one realizes the kinship ‘between the_twin arts of mu- sic and dancing. Miss Gallaudet is the very embodiment of youth and ex- treme gracefulness, and her grand tal- ent as_an_interpretive dancer is very marked.

As a sportive, gay, little nymph in the last number, she was inimitable, be- ing obliged to respond to an enthu- siastic encore. As the first exponent of rhytamic dancing to appear before a Norwich audience, Miss Gallaudet gave the greatest pleasure and delight by the finish of her art. Mrs. Charies Tyler Bard, Mrs. W. Russe't Baird, and Mrs, Curtis Ber- nard, were the soloists and the next number, “Nature and Love,” Tscbai- kowsky, sung by the Woman's Chorus.

Total receipts of $88,084.97, disburse- ments of $39,755.49 and a balance of $48,309.48 were reported for the past year in the annual report made to the common council on Monday night by the water commissioners. The board will be able to turn over to the ity $46,112.02. It was estimated at the beginning of the year that the amount would be $45.000. Expenses of maintaining guards at the reservoir and of thawing out frozen water mains by electricity, more than ever before in the history of the de- partment. has prevented an even greater amount being turned over. The report contained mention of the discovery of a serious case of electro- Iysis of the water main to the tuber- culosis_sanatorium, causing loss of about 15,000 gallons of water per day for a time. Warning was given that all the water mains along the trolley line to the power station were in dan- ger of being ruined unless this wa$ iocked after.
