The movie situation in New London just at the present time is something like this: Manager Davis, he who was among the first to get into the nov ing picture business in New London and was lessee of the present Empire, is now back in his old place, succeed ing the owners and managers of that playhouse. It will be recalled that when Manager Davis lease expired he refused to leave the Empire in order that the owners could engage in the picture business. The owners and subsequent managers, the Moran brothers, were kept out of possession of their property for about a year, or until the orpheun theater was built,

NEW LONDON THEATERS COMBINE
Number of PIayhouses to be Reduced By one-Loca Indus tries Show Much ctivty-EIecton Indications Drove Connecticut Leader of Democracy to Woods.

The opening Of the Crown theater, in State street, which made the fourth moving picture houses in New London, operated every day and night, Sunday excepted, had the effect of diminishing the sidewalk traffic in Bank street as far down as the Empire theater and including the Orpheum theater, near by. Walter Murphy, manager of the Lyceum, which is now devoted in the main to movies and vaudeville, as- stunned the management of the new Grown also. which is a purely movie house. This combination proved too strong for the down-toWners, and now the Orpheum is closed, the lesses of that theater taking over the Empire, and in consequence there is but one picture house in Bank street. The old Lawrence hall is leased by the man. agement of the two other Bank street places to keep out opposition, but the coming of the Crown spoiled that lit tie game in so far as went opposf- tiOn.

 tered into some sort of an agreement and took lease of the Lawrence hall and kept 1t closed from opposition. These leases are still in existence, and 1t Is not believed that they can be se- cured for a little piece of money, tn- dicating that the Empire is to pay for itself and earn enough to pay the rental of the Lawrence and Orpheum, and also pay Manager Davis a sub stantial profit.
 Naturally, tEnls condition is for the benefit of the manager of the Lyeeum and the Crown, for 1t closes two houses of possible opposition. instead of one, as formerly, which means an increase of patronage for one or both of the uptown theaters It Is the com mon belief that the business of the Empire will not increase by the change in management, as practically the same patrons patronize both the Orpheum and Empire, with each change of pictures, 1. e., the same patrons spent two or three nights at the Orpeum and the same at the Em- pire, and now all the pictures, with two changes weekly, can be covered in three nights at the Empire. There fore the total receipts at the box office will not be materially increased under the new management, upon the pre- sumption that the same people are the

 it was recently said that the Brown Cotton Gin company, manufacturers of cotton gins and printing presses, was on short time and with reduced help which was true. But not so now as nearly all the help that was laid off is being called back and that full time Is to prevail, especially in the print ing press line. AS about 90 per cent. Of the cotton gins manufactured were sent to Russia, that branch will prob ably be not revived to any great ex- tent until there is a new market for the product.
 It was also stated that the Palmer quilt mill was at a standstill. and that the employees were all idle. This, too, was true, just before election. But now the big plant is on full time and with full working force.
 Reference was also made to slack times at the Whiton plant, with Sen ator-elect Whiton, president of the company, seated on the platform: Much of the product of this hive of industry is for the foreign trade. and naturally the war had some effect on the expectations. But that plant is now on full time and the employees are not finding any fault with the hours of labor or with the pay received. Mention, however, was omitted of the New London Ship and Engine com pany. that is now operated twenty four hours a day every day in the week, including Sundays. This con- cern has orders sufficient in hand to run the plant to capacity for nearly two years. Work has already com menced on the erection of another large factory building, which will al- most double the capacity of the big plant.
