THE MILLIONAIRE
Chuzzelwit.

The majority of those who read
the papers and magazines are not mil
lionaires but these papers and mag
azines believe they greatly interest
their readers by explaining how a
man may become millionaire.
One can be happy without mil
lion dollars. Those who accumulate
a million usually pay far more than
what these dollars are really worth.
1t is pleasant and comfortable. to say
to one BE good and you will be
happy" No one disputes this copy
book heading. The making of
million dollars is something like
climbing a creased pole. Here and
there man at county fair reaches
the top, but the majority fail, altho
providing fun for the crowd. If the
trees in forest or flowers in a gar
den or vegetables in a field could
speak and were asked to describe
why some achieve full growth and
richness, they would reply that a
combination of circumstances, such
as moisture, soil, chemistry, sunshine
and first class seed were responsible
for their success.
The average young man when he
starts on his career, usually has dim
notion of hoping to be worth mill
lion before he dies, but age brings
on merciful paralysis of these am
bitions. When the average man is
over fifty years of age he is apt to
thank God if he is making q living
and getting his family fair share
of comfort, entirely forgetful of his
original intention to be millionaire.
A prominent business man, whose
father ablished business which
has grown immensely, was once
asked by friend of mine, news
paper man, to tell how he accumu-
lated a million dollars. The million.
aire took the question as kind O1
joke and explained that his father
was one of the founders of their ex-
tensive business and that he { the son

NEW VAUDEVILLE AND PICTURE
 FEATURES AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Today brings an entire change of vaudeville at the Auditorium, and the new acts presented are all numbers that show careful selection. Harry and Bernice Lowe offer a neat comedy musical act which Is entitled The Mu- sicRl BellbOy and the Lady. MT. Lowe IS & very funny comedian and pos SosSes exceptional musical ability, and the vocal and musical work of Bernice Lowe adds greatly to the act
 Something out of the ordinary is the specially of Martin Howard, Europe's greatest dancing novelty. Mir. Howard has been termed the Male Genee, as his dancing is as finished as that Of his famous nameSake.
 Pearl Stevens is the third act and her speciality consists of good singing and expert banjo playing, combina- ton that should prove very acceptable.
 The photOplays seen at the Audito- rum are different from any others to be seen in the city and comprise the greatest and best offerings of the worlds best studios. The Auditorium Is the only house in the city that handles films that are not dominated by the moving picture trust.
 Next Monday and Tuesday the Audi torium will show the fourth of the fla nous Bison-101 series, which is en- titled The Deserter It is a military film and Is considered to be the best of the series so far.

PoLI's.

The singing Of Raymond ONeil at the Poli theater is still proving to be an attractive feature. Mr. O'Neil will be heard at each matinee and evening this week. The pictures are pro- n0unced the best by the most critical and the wonderful increase in attend ance speaks volumes for the improved conduct of the house under the new management Cortlandt Barker, the lessee, who does his own managing, wishes it understood that the most absolute care is given to sanitary con- dltions and to the comfort of each patron The character of the enter tainment speaks for itself and Is meet ing with popular approval. On Friday night will be held the first amateur night, which will be open to singers, dancers, acrobats, Teciters or any who wish to try out their talents before a theater audience. The only conditions of amateur night will be that each per former must be a resident of Norwich and a non professional. Three liberal cash prizes will be awarded to the per- son or persons receiving the greatest applause the audience being the Sudge. On Saturday matinee and night will be shown The James Boys In Missouri, in three reels. To those who are sceptical about the moral in Auence of the melodramatic in motion pictures, it can be explained that this picture does not exploit crime or make R hero of it's principal character, but simply gives an accurate resume of his career, minus all shooting down of ad- versariee, etc, until the time of his own demise at the hand of treacher- ous comrade. This picture has been observed probably by a greater num- ber of persons than any other film now or ever shown.

BREED THEATER.
Stirring Western Pictures, Glorious Scenery and Brilliant Acting Make a Successful Bill.

The bill at the Breed today is con- spicuous in it's predominance of west ern subjects and shows as it's head liner The Prospector's Legacy, an Es- sanay subject brimful of life and snap for which this company is famous. The prosperous miner is carrying his money 10 the bank for safe keeping, expect ing to carry it home with him at an early date. While on the way to the bank he meets with an accident and falls from his horse, being seriously injured. He puts his gold into the hands of passing friends who promise to dispose of it according to the wishes of the miner. When the friends reach their home they tell their story to the mother, who takes the money and starts to put 1t away, when a gypsy horse trader, having seen the act, steals in and overpowerS the mother and escapes with the booty. He has scarcely committed the act when the cowboys on the ranch discover 1t and hastily form a posse and start in pur- suit of him. He is followed so closely that in order to escape he has to jump over the cliff into the mountain torrent where all traces of him are lost.
 The very remarkable picture entitled The Heart of Man is a superb scenic spectacle, being taken adjacent to the Garden of the Gods, and the back grounds are resplendent with the glo- ries of that region.
 A very interesting educational pie ture depicting the opening of the tres tle through the Everglades and sea be- tween Knights Key and Key West is 8 wonderful film story of this 46-mile railroad achievement.

President Charles $. AIellen of the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad O., said at the chamber of commerce luncheon on Saturday that he renewed his offer to the city of New Haven to build an architecturaIly beautiful railway station if the city would see that there were proper approaches to that station. He ad- nitted that the station now under consideration was not such struc- tIre He said that what he had in tended to do was to build a great sta ton with trolley car subway under meath so that passengers arriving by steamboat or rail could leave the boat or train under cover and get on a trolley oar under cover for any point in the city. He said that the plans lad been treated in such a manner that be gave them up in dis gust
 A move is on foot to get the city interested in deciding to help out with the original plans and a committee will probably be formed.
