"IHE DO ,TOR" MAKES DECIDED HIT
Amateur 1Tlcspians Entertain Appre- ciatiye Audience in Presentation at Forcstcr's Hall--Will Be Staged Again in East Berlin.

As a sequel to disturbance at q Polish christening in 1Iensington last Sunday afternoon, Blaze Rebese was a1raigned before Judge George G. GSiswold in the town court this morn ing and, after q short trial, fined ten dollars and costs for breach of tho peace and assault
 Felix Barnoski, upon whom it was alleged the prisoner madesthe assault, was called upon to testify for the state. According to his story, the christening was over when the dis turbance occurred. He had loaned his horse to the host so that he could 7 convey his guests to the trolley line and, when tho outfit was returned to him, he went out into the yard to unhitch his horse and put him in the barn He explained that the upstairs tenement in his house was the scene Of the baptism and Chat, as he went out in the yard, the prisoner, one of the guests who were tardy in retiring from the beer barrel, followed him. and persisted in picking q quarrel with him.
 According to the testimony of the witness, Blaze t"ndc several unsuc-
 
 fistic encountc e he finally sue ceeded in his and threw him to the ground A..Acss said he shook Blaze off and, running into his house shut the door in his pursuers face and turned the key in the lock. Baffled for the moment, Blaze in frenzy kicked viciously at the door. With q terrific lunge, he forced the lock and made for Felix. Overtaking him in the dining room, he knocked him down anG proceeded to heat and kick him against the wall with such force witness wife and son to cause the prisoner to dcsist were futile. How ever, Felix, managed to free himself rom his powerful tormentor, who was q much bigger man than himself and grabbing a stove lift, struck him ol the head with it twice in self defence
 Blaze was stunned for |, moment but he recovered quickly and rushed for Felix again, this time throwing bjn against tho will with such force as to render him unconscious. Satis- fled that he had dono his job well the prisoner acquiesced to the re- quests of q number of other chlistcn- ing guests and agreed 70 leave the premises.

 Will Entertain Veterans.
 The State Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will 'e held in New Britain on Thursday and Friday, April IS and 16. During the afternoon of the first day, following the business meeting. the comrades will be taken in automobiles for sightseeing trip around New Britain, following which they will take a run down to Kensington to visit the Sol- diers' Monument, the first of its kind to have been erected in the United States. The veterans are expected to arrive here late in the afternoon.
 In order to make arrangements for this visit, a meeting has been called for Saturday evening, April 10 in the Peck Memorial Library building. All residents interested are urged to At- tend. . ..s "The Doctor" a Success.
 Wit and humor were most happily mingled in the kensington Dramatic clubs presentation of "The Doctor at Foresters hall last evening and there was large and appreciat1ve audience to greet the thespians, who, amateurs as they may be, proved that they have made rapid strides towards perfection since the presentation of last years play.
 The cast of characters was as fol- lows:
 Dillington Hopper, a New York
 stockbroker, who wants some fun
 and gets it ..... Alfred E. Moore Thomas Picton, his friend, who wants peace and doesn't get it
 ........... Geo. .. GflHltn Crumley Chuggs, a nice old man.
 
 her r........... Ralmond Watkins Napoleon B. Plunker, an inventor,
 who wants the earth--and keeps
 on wanting ...... C. Oscar Eagerly Mrs. Fanny Mayfair, a dashing
 young widow. who wants lark"
 and has it .... Lena D. Johnson Mrs. Anastasia Billowby, another
 widow, who wants to elope--and
 ia disappointed .. Minnie l.. Gibbs Eflie Picton, Toms wife, who wants
 revenge and then there's
 trouble ........ Ellen NJ. Almquist
 Time Midsummer. Place--Acts I II, A woodland glade.
 Due largely to the masterly guid- ancc of Director Arthur D. Bradley of New Britain. every one of the characters played his or her role to pcrfcctiou.
 Alfred + Moore, as Dillington Hopper, played the star part like a aashing young comedian. He deliv- cred his lines with q snap and was springhtly in action.
 The role of Thomas Dicton could not have been carried better than the way that George Griffith took it. He was directly opposite to Hopper in every way, being slow in action and slow of speech. He was a very easy going fellow with very little grit"
 'Raymond Watkins, as Chuggs. ap- pcarcd as d man of about sixtv-fiyo years. He was the type Of the smooth. oily sanctimonious old schemer. who
New Britain herald., 1915-04-08

was always on the lookout for mum ber one.
 As Napoleon E. Plunker. c. Oscar Eagerly carried his forty-five years and his bumptious physique with con- siderable promptitude. He was ex- plosive, loud, noisy and gingery and seemed to be in great hurry at all times.
 The part of Mrs. Fanny Mayfair could have been assigned to no one who could have carried it better than did Lena Johnson. She appeared as a widow of twenty-one years and. was the type of the lively, dashing young American woman. She played the part with perfect freedom.
 Fat and Fair" was the widow Mrs. Anastasia Bllowby-M Minnie l.. Gibbs. Mrs. Billowby changed with every breeze, the character being pre- sented in farcical light throughout.
 Ellen M. Olmquist of New Britain was Fife Picton. She was a young lady of about twenty -one years and carried herself in admirable fashion.
 The doctor is comic play, lying clearly within the domain of farce lnasmuch as it does not attack any foible or folly of mankind and it's mirth does not always follow the lines of strict proba bility The local cast sustained it's reputation for being one of the liveliest, brightest and most Imaginable plays ever written.
 The club will give it before the East Berlin Village Improvement so- ciety in the near future, probably April 16.

poration. subsequently, making appli- cation to the legislature for the right to lay sewer pipe in the streets of the town. After the system would be built. property owners could get the service by paying a regular fee as they do for water, electric light and gas.
 1t would not be the intention to make the company permanent, the corporation simply building and oper- ating the sewer until such time as the town would be ready to take it over.
 Plans for the organizing of the cor poration have not matured to any mo- ticcable extent. in fact the project is still in an embryonic state and may never develop. It is, however, receiving serious consideration from people interested in the sewer propo- sition and it will probably be further investigated.
 Eggs Hatch While Moving.

When they started to move the hennery they found one of the hens industriously laboring to pro- duce brood of chickens from a nest nf hinh Sho 1,,. hi nest and hen were put together in one or the farm wagons and the out fit started for the smiths new home.
 When they arrived Mir. Smith was surprised to- find a large brood of lively chicks in place of the eggs witt; which he started. The hen was quite proud of her feat and she rackIcd ioyouSly as the wagon drew into the yard with her new family.
