 Judge Curtis in the superior court at New London Tuesday afternoo granted q motion for non-suit in the case of Almeda Glynn vs. the Lyceunl iTheater company. Judge Curtis sald he did not think the evidence intro duced was sufficient to supply cause for action.
 As soon as the testimony was com pleted Attorney Whittlesey moved Tor non suit, claiming that evidence enough to warrant damages Tor tne plaintiff had not been shown
