COLUMBIA

In when We Were Twenty one"
Managers Metzerott and Berger OF
the Columbia Theater feel that they
can promise one OF the best offerings
Of the season.
"When We We're Twenty-ona" IS
one of those dramatic comedies that
proved the most successful offering in
Nat c. Goodwin's repertoire. and az
forded both him and his worker,
Maxine Elliott, the opportunities Of
their careers for character deIineation
and continued triumphs. The play, by
H Y. EsmCHd, is one Of the most
pretendous that the Columbia com
pany has undertaken. The cast Of
characters is long, and the scenic re-
quirements eXaCting.
In selecting the play sight was not
lost Of the fact that both Julia Dean
and Orme CaldaTa have previously ap-
peared in the roles Of Phyllis and
Richard CareWe. the parts played
originally by Miss Elliott and M.
Goodwin. Miss Dean was a member
Of MIR. GOOdwin's company, ard for a
time replaced Miss Elliott in the role.

COTTAGERS GRATEFUL
 TO HYDRAULIC COMPANY

Great changes are taking place on the beach. Little Danbury'', once the Mecca, finds it's supremacy chal- lenged by a string of cottages to the right-with more to come, for the Brids seport Hydraulic Company has consented to extend its water main some quarter of a mile more west ward. This means a rapid develop Elent of that part of the shore. It also means to many Fairfield citizens an increased income, as more farmers will there find a quick market for all they have to sell, while grocers. butch CTS, liverymen and others will have an already considerable trade much in creased The Water Company is do- ing an unusually generous thing in this extension of mains. It has suf- fered so severely from electrolysis along shore that thus far furnishing the beach with water has been a losing game; yet, though there is but scant prospect of profit to them in this ex- tension. the company magnanimously extends this courtesy to the village Of Fairfield whose citizens are it's patrons in other sections of the town. An other great improvement to the beach is the new road. Under the energetic supervision of First Selectman Charles Little Bridgeport At his request, property owners along its route have contributed sod. This has been cut from the creek-edge, by gangs of men who did nothing else for the time be- ing; after partially drying in sun and wind. it has been carted to adjacent portions of the roadbed; some deep places have been bridged with old rail- road ties; the work is being economic ally done, and MT. Fox and the town have reason to be proud of the long stretch of road being built by the pres ent appropriation. In spite of some drawbacks, now happily past, Fairfield Beach has steadily grown in favor, for there gre few bathing beaches to com- pare with it. Two and a half miles in extent, its gently sloping sandy banks, clear, clean water, cool breezes, freedom from objectiona able surround ings, make it an ideal place for a short vacation or entire summer. Many families come early and stay
