DAVIS THEATER OPENS WITH HIGH CLASS ATTRACTIONS
Photoplays and Vaudeville Attractions Presented to big Houses Monday.

With a smoothness that was grati- flying to the management and distinct ly pleasing to two big houses, the Da- wis theater opened on Monday with a programme that gave Norwich people a splendid impression of what is to be offered at the Broadway playhouse this season by the new lessee, Walter s. Davis of Pawtucket. The photo plays and the vaudeville acts meas ured fully up to the highest standards that Norwich has seen in recent years and the improvements that have been made at the theater during the past week also received their share of fa- vorable attention from the first day audiences.
 Ten numbers comprised the enter tainment programme, and the audi ences were kept interested all the time with the variety of the pictures and the excellent vaudeville acts. Among the photoplays the Sands of Dee stood out as one of the most dra- matic and realistic, while A Day Off was an intensely funny production that counterbalanced the more seri- ous films. Local Manager Charles E. PeltOn contributed one of the hits by his dramatic lecture in connection with the extra feature photoplay, The Drunkards' Reformation. and he re- ceived great applause and number of curtain calls, Those Three Girls made charming appearance in their singing act with character changes, and their work went far above the av- craze of the usual offerings, The Ethi- oPean Four, eolered comedy duartette. drew forth unstinted applause and laughter by their witty dialogue, sing ing and dancing specialties, while some unusual musical effects were produced with various articles by Mons. Her bert.
 At the matinee the house was sat- lsfaeterily filled, but fer the evening shows the leweF fleeF was entirely taken and many were standing, while In the balcony there were even more people waiting fer seat Up in the gallery, tee, there was a crowd. and | the benches there were in use, which has been a rare happening. In spite of the humidity the ventilating system worked out well. and there were cur 1 rents of cool air passing constantly ] through the house, Manager Davis considering this superior to fans. An | other feature new to Norwich thea 1 tergoers Is the green light system in- | trodueed by Manager Davis. giving a
 so-ealled moonlight effect. which while 1t does not interfere with the pictures, enables the programmes tc
 be read at all times by the people.
 The regular orchestra, with c. w
 Phillips of New London as director will not come until September 1, and
 up to that time Ellsworth E. Baker
 violin, and Fred c. Geer, plano, ol

 For the big shows. the first of which l Alma, Where Do You Live? comes

 creased from four to eight or nine
 pieces. Manager Davis and his the ater staff were well satisfied with the
 reception accorded them on theil
 opening day and the great majority
 of the people who went to the thea

Tinge of Excitement in the Air Mon
 day Afternoon on Front Street.

About l o'clock Monday afternoon a load of hay from Baltic for 8 local store dumped over in front of the boarding house and for a few mo- ments Front street was the scene of considerable excitement The hay was owned by a farmer who resides on Pautipaug hill in Baltic. and who with his hired man was on his way to de- liver it. They stopped at the scales near the store and after weighing the hay enlisted the services of two boys, Theodore Roy and Harry Hannah, to show them the way to the barn. As they started off the sales, the light wagon struck a pole and the impact started the load rocking. The driver kept on and when in front of the boarding house the load suddenly tip per over on to the ground, carryir- with 1t the wagon and all four who were seated on top of the hay. The driver held on to the horses thus pre- venting a runaway. In a few seconds a large crowd of spectators were on hand to see what had happened and many of them assisted in fighting the wagon and reloading the hay. The two boys and John Casey, the hired man, escaped injury, but the owner of the outfit sprained his ankle quite badly. The wagon was uninjured and after considerable delay the hay was stored safely in the barn for which 1t was intended
