Ab- solutely No Time and Sixty Cents an Hour were the two songs that were the particular O'Brien offering along with one of his cryptic. poems on con- dftions in the Panama canal zone that gave his hearers mental exercise in keeping pace with the flow of O'Brien words and ideas.
 Two Of the stage settings were dis Einct and original, the first called The F1Iturist Atelier. done entirely in black and white. with the troupe appearing 3n black and white striped suits. The other was in the concluding stage pie fure for Uncle Joe's Dream, where a beautiful Louisiana bayou effect was shown, with a magnolia grove and the moonlight rtppling on the water.
 The opening first part in the atelie1 closed with travesty on the quartette from Fgo1etto, in which a chickor inert was woven into grand opera form. The Ebony Film club was the second section of the performance, g lure lines in which Eddie Mazier, Les lie Barry, George Peduzzi in female character, and diminutive Major Gas. per Nowak were the performers. This was followed by Neil OBrien's specia offering of Demon Rum, or A Dr5 Town.
 Earning special favor were the bass solo of David Morris, the baritone ol Leslie Barry, the baritone of Jona. than Flaw and the tenor of J. Banardi Harry Van Fossen caught the crowG tn his Interchange with Interlocutol Leslie Barry. A double quintette 0: Soft shoe dancers in varied costume ef. aeGts did enectlve work in the gener. ally pleasing impression made by tic show.

Second Division Standing.
PREFERS THAT CHURCHES
 BE NOT DRAFTED. Bishop Milan Would Have the Tribute of kneeIing Thousands for the Pops.

Bishop John J. Milan issued a state ment from Hartford on Thursday on the death of Pope Plus x in which an- nouncement was made that solemn high mass of requiem for the repose of the late pontiff's soul would be cels- brated in all the churches of the dio . cese Wednesday, Aug. 26. The state ment says that Bishop Milan prefers the churches be not draped, as the tribute of kneeling thousands at the communion rail is more desirable than fixed signs of grief. The statement follows:
 Our great pontiff, Plus x, is dead. The gentle shepherd whose life pur- pose was to restore all things in Christ has passed away without seeing the realization of his hope The deathbed of the vicar of Christ who longed for peace was disturbed by the noise of warning nations. The lesson of his lie is an inspiration to greater constancy in the service of God. so that If not in the world, at least In our hearts. Christ may reign supreme. May he rest in peace
 Tn all the churches of this diocese solemn mass of requiem for the repose of his soul will be celebrated next Wednesday, Aug. 26. It is not our wish that the churches be draped. Better than outward signs of mourning will be the tribute of kneeling thousands at the communion rail to offer prayer for him who was called the pope Of the holy eucharist.
 We exhort the faithful to pray that a worthy successor may be chosen to continue the work of the gentle Plus, and that the announcement of his ele- Bvation may be made to a world in which strife is ended and Christian na- tions are at peace. The clergy are ask ed to add to the present oratio inn perate the prayer pro eligende summe pontifico'
