 For several weeks past the members have been looking forward to this event, with the idea that when the time arrived the opening would be marked by impressive ceremonies These plans were upset on account of the delay in the construction work, so as this is the regular meeting night it was decided, at the last minute, to open the rooms in an informal manner this evening.

 The committee has arranged to take care of q big crowd at the initial expected that every member of the council will desire to participate in an event which will mark the begin ming of a. new era of progress for the order in Norwich. Those who visit the rooms for the first time will be impressed by the excellent taste and good judgment displayed in the ar raEgenent and furnishings of the rooms and it is the opinion of the committee which had the matter in charge that there are few, if any more attractive or convenient Knights of Columbus lodge rooms in the state

NATIONAL.


Probably the last chance to see The
Poor Little Rich Grip is offered this
week, as this little gem of fantasy.
though it has had two full seasons
of success, is not the sort of thing
that popular favor carries along in
definitely. Its imaginative vein Is .
little too precious; the supply of peo-
pie who can bring the right frame or
mind for enjoying it is apt to run out.
This may be 4 pessimistic thought in
duced by the rather thin attendance
last night at the National Theater. and
here's hoping that it is false and that
the pathetic little dream lady may
prove as long lived as her kindred
spirit, Peter Pan.
Anyone who is not so over-grown-up
as to have lost all remembrance and
relish for the fanciful flights OF the child
mind is certain to take delight in the ad-
ventures OF Gwendolyn in the wonderful
''Ten-tale Forest and around Robin
Hoods barn. Yet the interest is by no
means merely that of the fairy tale. By
a very unusual stroke OF invention Miss
Eleanor Gates has combined in this play
the dramatic values of fact and fantasy.
Few scenes OF more gripping pathos can
be recalled than the first act. depicting
the lonely and pitifully barren situation
OF the little girl whose wealthy parents
are too occupied with affairs of business
and society to give her the attention she
Graves. The dramatic struggle for the
life of the child, after she has taken
the overdose of sleeping mixture, is seen
the fantastic veil of her delirium
and carries q thread Of intense dramatic
interest through all the grotesque humors
and absurdities OF the vision. A genuine
moral lesson, IL one is wanted. may also
be found in the victory OF the doctor and
his hobbies over the artificial and I'M
wholesome atmosphere in which he finds
the family.
