Big Comedy Bill Today.

As good a bill as anyone could wish to see is on at this popular play house today with comedy the predominant feature DeVoy-F'aber and company in the comedy playlet, His Prize Package,,' is one big scream from beginning to end Not dull moment all through the sketch. Sing Fong Lee the worlds greatest Chinese vio- linist and murorist has proved big favorite in the funny way he tells stories and his violin solos have re- ceived big applause at every perform ance. Col Mack and company have have a Western comedy act with some good rife shooting in it and make a big hit. Colonel Mack is a big fellow seven feet tall and the company are two little fellows which makes a fun ny contrast Special scenery and eff fects with thm lend a Western at mosphere to the sketch.

LEGISLATIVE LORE

An act concerning approval of stock and bond issues of public service cor porations was the first matter of the order of the day. It came to the house with an unfavorable majority report and favorable minority report of the committee on interpretations. Mr. Lockwood of Stamford made q most admirable speech in favor of the bill and explained that it provided that no public service corporation can com blne or merge with any other corpora ton, or issue stocks or bonds, without the approval of the utilities commis- sion, and without taking away any Legislative rights. MT. Ryce of West Hartford spoke in opposition and did not believe in giving to the utilities commission the legislative powers that were contained in the bill MT. Wilson of Bridgeport favored the bill though 1t was not drastic enough to suit him. put would serve to protect the inter ests to widows and orphans who had some money invested in these corpora tions.
 MT. Avery of Groton said the pas sage. of the bill would not add to the utilities commissions power in regard to rates and he said there was not single instance where the commission reduced rates for the public good He said corporations must get into the money market at the opportune time and should not be required to have consultation with the utilities commits sion. The public has no special inter- est as to how the corporations get the money but are interested in it's ex- penditure for the public convenience Mr. Avery did not consider the mem- bers of the commission any more com petent than the legislature or officers of these corporations. Not good faith on part of state to take from these corporations what has previously been granted in charters. He did not con ssder the directors of corporations q 7and of thieves. no more than he con s,dered individuals who go into bank ruptcy rogues. All matters considered he was opposed to the bill at the pres eEt time.
 ..lr Healey of Windsor Locks also uI posed the bill and declared he did not take great stock in the judgment ol he utilities commission, and the ..CY ernor had stated that he did not want the powers of the commission in creased. The bill is crude in its make up and he was opposed to its princi- pleS.
 Mir Kfrchberger of Morris said that there was no more nutrdttve food than Ryce and nothing better for the nerves than Wilson, and while the members were full of both was g. time fer ac- tion. He moved the previous question, whiGh prevailed. The bii1 was reject-

AH-Reund Pleasing Show at the
 Auditorium

Every item on the programme at the Auditorium the first half of this week is one of merit and much favorable comment was heard about the general excellence of the bill.
 The two reel feature Imp photoplay, The Leader of His Flock is a fine production, and the plot is logical which with the exceptional acting of the favorite actor, King Baggott makes this a photoplay that will be remembered. Today is the last chance to see this fine film. Parise the piano. accordeonist, opens the vaudeville part of the show with some lively and melodrama tunes on this harminious instrument, and he is followed by Vir- gil Holmes and Marjorie Reilly, the society vocalists, and they surely can sing, Miss Reilly has one of the strongest and sweetest voices ever heard in Norwich vaudeville, while her partner, Mir. Holmes is the pos sessor of a fine baritone the two voices harmonize beautifully The old faToritees Ford and Hyde are here for return engagement and they are causing as many laughs as they did before, their comedy the Stage Struck Rube" is a perfect stream of laughs Beside the feature film there are other reels both comedy and drama and all of them pleasing.
