PLAYS AND PLAYERS
POLI'S THEATRE;

Next week the Poli Players will be seen in one of the greatest rural plays ever written and one that has been characterized by critics as the purest, sweetest, and most wholesome of ru- faI dramas, Quincy Adams Sawyer" It seems odd to characterize a rural s57da sas to when he one one 9f s3opz ths5E to think of it most of them have sor4eF eTeagneeahse< story of a wronged girl who is wandering around i'll the snow on q wintry night looking for her wedding certificate. But in such story of character. There is more comedy in it than in other plays of it's class In fact it is built largely oa. comedy lines So much so that enc writer described it as 'one great big laugh from beginning to end.''
 book will be interested to know how the novel has been utilized for the stage purposes and what scenes serve as backgrounds for those honest country people, to show us their sim pie. ordinary lives. The first act shows the interior of Benoni Hills post-office at Mason's Corner where for one thing the scrimmage between Quincy Adams Sawyer and the town bully, Bob Woods. takes place. Act second has two scenes, the first of which repr esents the cross roads between East borough and Mason's Corner and the second, the sitting room at the Putnam Farm The third act is the Pettingi1I farm yard where the fam ous husking bee in the great barn is shown.
 The first scene of the fourth act shows the exterior of the Pettingil1 Homestead during a rousing New England snow storm, and the second scene pictures the PettingilI cosy liv ing room.
 The sweet dignified love scenes be- tween Quincy Adams Sawyer and the blind girl, alone commanding that epectfu1 silence which proves that the author who penned the tender, senu- mental touches, and the actors who portray them, compel that involuntary sympathy which is the highest tribute to genius and art.
 MT. Langsfeld is doing his utmost to make the scenic end of the produc- tion- exceed in beauty anything he has painted this season. The production bids fair to be the banner production Of the season and that is saying some thing

THE DANBURY FAIR
A Great Educational and Amusement
 Enterprise

Behind all endeavor and leading up to final results is the reason why Dan bury's big 1912 Fair has good cause for it's existence-it is an educator-it en- Hghtens both young and old and gives new view points to each exhibitor and visitor.
 i This great fair gets in direct touch with farmer, tradesman, factory hand. wealthy individual, specialist and home maker.
 i While this years Danbury Fair (Oct. S-12) will be notably strong in it's livestock and agricultural displays ment will be of chartcter to sur pass all former fairs held in Southern New England.
 The machinery under belt, covering acres of ground will afford a fair in itself, and the new building where au- | tomobiles and their accessories will feature
 Men who sell, men who invent, men who buy. will each find something they want at the Danbury Fair. Grangers will be out in force and their display will not limit itself to tn patrons of husbandry for the grange building will be, indeed. a cen ter of interest to the crowds. A $50 trip to Washington is offered the Fairfield county boy whose acre or half acre of Flint corn shows the high est number of points according to the State test.
 Business men and manufacturers vie with each other in presenting at- tractive showings in attractive set tings. The main building will be well stocked with enterprise. Under the tent the displays and vendors will 4h old forth with a1lHring- voice and en- ticing wares. The bands will play and lend their enlivening strains or soothing cadences to please patrons of many minds.
 Ladies' Industrial hall, the Art Gal Iery, and Floral hall will take on new life with their. fine lines. of exhibits showing all the new styles, latest wrinkles and choicest assortments in their respective classes.
 Plaza and grounds/ in general will offer an unerring call to the pleasure seeker. The racing events and the grandstand attractions will be of high merit. Hutton's Hippodrome will be among the latter with it's chariot races, hurdle races, riderless horse racing, high jumping and races be- tween horses and hounds; the Five Flying Dorens, one of the most expert Bartletts, ring and trapeze acts, the Four Mayos, comedy skaters, Eur opean novelty. new in this, country, one woman, in performances that ap~ peal to all lovers of dumb animals, and Dewar's Comedy Circus, consist ing of a troupe of men, ponies, mules and dogs, besides all these there will be the show horses and the cattle tests which always are surrounded by a large number of spectators.
 Capt Thomas S. Baldwin will come with a capable crew of air-men and that there will be thrills ap1enty goes without saying.
 All these facts and many others ably evidence that the Fair manage ment is up to the minute in provid- ing instruction and enjoyment for patrons.
 Ample trolley, auto, train and other conveyances will provide transporta- tion to and from the grounds and the slogan, Come when you like and stay as long as you 1ke,'' will hang over Danbury and the Fair grounds throughout the week of October 7th.

PARK THEATRE
THE COMMON LAW

THE COMMON LAW
 So great has been the 4pressure brought to bear by an insistant pub lie through the medium of the mails and a personal -irnlteryiews. n that Mr. Robert w. Chambers, the author Of so many we'll known novels, has fin aIly decided to allow his biggest work,
 The Common Law to be dramatized under his supervision. The transfor- nation of an absorbing. story from gold type to the warm glow of the 'footlights is no easy matter and the new play fresh from its trium phs in principal cities will be- seen at the Park theatre Tuesday evening, Sept 24th. The Common Law seems to appeal just 'ag strongly to those who have not rea6 thasBook as to these to whom the YkBaf NS Ix familiar. TfIe very fact that a woman is struggling against the conventions and suffer ing the heartaches that go with a love affair between two people of different caste seems to strike sympathetic chord in the heart of every other woman

 No. Just say that I'll call after dinner"
 "AH right. Jim,. dear," the mother purred. ''I'll see that she's here if l have to lock the door,"
 Stuart strolled out aimlessly and be- gan to ramble without purpose. Some how today everything on which his eye rested and every sound that struck his ear proclaimed the advent of the trusts new power of which Bivens was the symbol-Bfvens with his deli cate, careful little hand, his bulging forehead, his dark keen eyes What chance had his old friend Woodman against such forces?
 That Bivens should fall hopelessly and blindly in love with Nan at first sight was too stupefying to be grasped at once. She couldn't love such a man-and yet, his millions and that slippery mother were sinister com bination.
 By evening he had thrown off his depression and met Nan with some thing of his old gayety. to which she responded with a touch of coquetry.
 Tell me. Jim.' she began with a smile of misc hief in her eyes. why you called at the remarkable hour of 12 noon today2 Am I becoming so resistless that work no longer has any charms? You must have something very important to say?''
 "YeS. have, Man." he answered soberly, taking her hand II want a public encouragement of our engage ment in tomorrow mornings papers,
 But why? You know the one con cession, the only one I have ever made to my mothers hostility to you. is that our engagement shall be kept Sc ere until we are ready to marry. We must play fair.''
 'I will. We are ready now.'
 Mans voice broke into a ripple Of laughter
 .Oh, are we? I didn't know it'
 ''Yes, that's what I came to tell you," Stuart went on, catching her spirit of fun and pressing her hand i've arranged little trip to the coun- try tomorrow, and Pm going to con vince you before we return. Make the announcement tonight. dear! On my honor l promise to convince you tomorrow that we are ready. I've an argument that never fails-an argu ment no wNf'ra n can resist.
