STORY OF "C0UNTRY BOY"
 ROMANCE OF WHITE WAY

The Country Boy is not a stranger in Bridgeport because he came to visit us some months ago and we lik- ed him and it seems most appropriate that Mir. Henry B. Harris should have selected Thanksgiving Day for Mir. Selwyns clever comedy of city life to visit us again.
 The story of the Country Boy is a romance of Broadway, Bohemia, the great white way, the stage and the country. It tells the story of a coun- try boy, the grl he left behind him and a show girl. Characters familiar to the great white way are shown and life in a theatrical boarding house is seen in all of it's humorous details. There is the typical landlady, the star boarder, who gets the best things, the embryo prima donna, who makes her dresses over so as to be in style, the mad of all work, who can be peTsuad- ed to let the parlor lights burn for some small change. The travelling salesman, who has to entertain the customers from the country but does not let his wife know about it. The theatre ticket Speculator, who breatheS Broadway in every line he speaks, but is a man with a cheerful disposi- tion and kind heart. although he has a large appetite which makes the landlady tell of the cost of meat. The show girl, who gets interested in but soon tires of the country boy, is seen there as we'll as the man about town who succeeds the country boy in the affections of the empty headed show girl. Then there is Merkle, apparently a gruff, disagreeable man, but in real

 In order to preserve information
 
 Connecticut the old house committee has been husily at work sending out blanks with spaces for the informa- ton desired and places for photo graphic inserts to people capable of giving the information wanted. As chairman of this committee Miss Mary E. Beach of East Hartford re- ported that sixty-eight blanks were thus filled in during the past year.
 The old silver committee tries to discover and classify silver made in this state before 1920. Miss Florence Gay of Pennington reported that over 13S records of such silver had been made by the committee during the past year.
 Miss Mary K. Talcott of Hartford reported that the manuscript com mittee had succeeded in making coD- ies of over 100 old church records throughout the state. Many of these records were secured with great trou- bel and would probably have been en- tirely lost except for the work of the committee.

D1D NOT
 USE DURESS,. SAYS
 COURT IN WILL CASE

Judge William H. Williams in the Superior court yesterday made a find ing sustaining the will of Mrs. Eugenia G. Eallock of Plattsville, allowing re- covery of costs of the plaintiff, the Bridgeport Hospital. who appealed from the probating of the will. Mrs. Hallock drew a will naming the Bridgeport Hospital as beneficiary to the amount of $5,0O0. Later a codicil was made in which the $5,000 bequesl was withdrawn and given in favor of Edward L. Cullen, who was the man. ager of her farm. The hospital alleg- ed undue influence. The court says:
 T find such codicil does express the free will and purpose of Mrs. Hallock, and that neither it, nor it's execution by her, was procured by fraud, duress, undue influence or improper conduct on the part of Edward L. Cullen, the principal beneficiary, or on the part of any other person."

ity man with a big heart. Indeed Merkie is one of the most vital char acters ever seen on the stage and his advice that no man is a failure un- t-l the man admits it., is lesson all can learn " tn profit.
 Beside these city people there are the clear cut wholesome types of the coun- try, the country who did not make good in the city, the white lights were too strong for him, then there Is his country sweetheart, who ne finally wins from Hiram, another country boy, who would not spend fifty cents for an engagement notice but was satisf ed to have We-nste.

There IS the country magnate, who does not believe in the country boy and is at last reluctantly forced to admit the country boy has made good when tried in the cruciable of experience.
 It is very funny to see MT. Belknap the country magnate, have trouble be- cause his automobile insists on Kill ing chickens, but then that is but one incident of the fun in the play be- cause the four acts of the Country Boy bristle. beam and shine with the most delightful humor possible. Yet there is a strong story of human in- terest rum ng through the play and it is story of life as is lived today in the city and country. Bridgeport people are particularly fortunate in having the Country Boy for the Thanksgiving Day attraction at the Jackson Theatre for a matinee and nioht performance. Seats go on sale Monday morning.
