AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

A musical treat was in store for the patrons of the Auditorium on Monday by reason of the appearance there of Armand De Caesar, talented young violinist from New York, who has been passing some time with friends at Gardner Lake this summer. It was his first appearance on the vaudeville stage, although he has had much eX- perienee in concert work and at so- ciety functions, but he executed his numbers with a smoothness of tech- nique that left nothing to offend the most critical of his audiences. In fact, he was called back by repeated bursts of applause half a dozen times after his first appearance Monday evening. A large number of his Gardner Lake friends were in the house to assist in giving him an enthusiastic reception. Monsieur DeCaesar combined classical themes with a rendition of popular medleys, and it was a performance that augured well for a successful fu- ture. He has been a pupil of l.. J. Cornu of New York, and although he Is now well advanced, he is and will continue to be a learner. For that is the secret of achievement
 With touch of comedy, Devereaux and Milburn made a worthy contribu- ton to the bill, and in gems of grand opera DOrva and DeLeon helped make up the delightful musical programme The pictures included the serial Trey O. Hearts and were well received.

There is a romance. far removed from the ordinary. everyday prosaic course of affairs, in the marriage that the black -robed Greek priest perform ed Sunday evening in the modest tene- ment house at 21s West Main street. It is a romance started on the far-on isle of Crete, south of Greece, in the midst of the blue waters of the Med iterranean, but its course has led over the ocean and across the American continent and back. so that there is a story behind the wedding of James Doulas of Spokane, Wash, and pretty Ellen Scaverlio, who two months ago came to Norwich from her native isle, here to meet her lover and become his bride.
 Ten years ago the happy bridegroom of this week was living a simple peas ants life near the city of Arkanos, in Crete. the abode of the fabled Minotaur of old and the birthplace of much that is important in art and literature and civilization. And neighbors and friends of his in the city were the families of the ScaVerlios, John the father with his wife and his budding daughters. But sweetest Of all of them was little Ellen, then a light-haired lass of 12. To John Doundalakos-for that is the way he writes the name that he has since, for business convenience, shortened to Doulas-came visions that were too large to be kept within the limits of little Crete He had the spirit. bold and adventurous, of his Greek ancestors beating in his veins, And so seven years ago he left that

RRANDEeEE SEES SUCCESS
Republican Senator Thinks Prospects
 for Party in Connecticut Good.

Senator Brandegee is pleased with the Republican outlook in Connecticut He says the Bridgeport meeting was a great success. The Bull Moose strength in Connecticut has decreased greatly since 1912. he says. MT. Bran degee predicts that his former rival for senatorial honors, ex-Representa- tive E. J. Hill of Norwalk, will be nominated for congress by the Repuo- Gcans of Fairfield county and elected In November.
 As for the legislative situation here, MT. Brandegee said that the trade conference committee between the two Clayton omnibus antitrust bill has passed the senate, so that the putting of the two into final form can be con- sidered together, owing to their in terrelated provisions. Tt makes little difference what the republican sena- tors do or the senate does with the so-called antitrust bills, said Mir. Brandegee. The actual laws wil be written in the conference committees and the president vii practically write them"
 MT. Brandegee voted against an amendment to the so-called war risk insurance bill, to authorize the gov ernment insurance bureau to insure the lives Of members of the crews of merchant ships that might be imper- lied by war conditions in Europe.
 He has gone to Connecticut on a short vacation, while Senator Mclean is expected here soon to stand guard for Connecticut at the senate end of the capitol. MT. Mclean has had his turn at a two weeks rest.

hourishing business for a Greek res- taurant and a grocery store besides.
 But all the time he did not forget little Ellen and the Scaverlios. The competition of American business life was not keen enough for that. He sent back his photograph, and his old Cretan friends admired the progress ing young business man in his dapper American clothes. Little Ellen even found a place for him in her heart. He really is fine looking man of 34. dark hair. rich eyes, and a manner open and inviting. And she is 22, and a fetching blond.
 Ten months ago the father, John Scaverlio, with two of his daughters, came to this country. and so it hap pened to Norwich to blaze the way for the coming of the rest of his family. And when he had prepared a place and the young man in Spokane kept in close touch with all developments the mother and her other daughter and a young son completed the family circle on this side of the water Then, having prospered and stored up money enough to start them with economy. James Doulas started from the Pacific coast several weeks ago. The we'd ding was performed at 6 o'clock Sum- day evening by Father Agadaz Gala deinos. and the documents, all in Greek, are safely put away. For on Wednesday the groom takes his young bride from her kin at 21S West Main street and goes back to his business or the coast. But the sadness of the part ing is broken by his plans to come back east in a year-for he thinks he can have an even betto- hr~iness here
 than in the west-and by the strength of their love. For, after all, it is a mistake, a profound one. to even think of love as a prosaic thing.
