WIN AUTHORITIES, O. K,
Special Show to Prove That "Three
Weeks" Was Not Objectionable.

Three Weeks, filmed from EIinor
Glyn's much talked of book, stirred
up considerable of a furry in about
three minutes when it occurred to some
Putnam people that it was to be shown
at the Bradley theatre Wednesday aft
ernoon and evening. The protest that
followed received immediate official
attention and Manager SeIg Goldman
of the theatre was interviewed
Manager Goldman Immediately sue-
gested that he would run the reels
through at a special morning show for
the city fathers and others interested
and this plan was adopted and car
ried out. Judge NJ. H. Geissler of the
city court, Prosecuting Attorney Ar
thur S. Macdonald, Captain John Muir
ray of the police and a number of well
known citizens to make an audience
of few more than a Dozen viewed the
much discussed pictures, subject of
protest in many cities.
When the show was over about
everyone present looked at some other
member of the party with something
of well l don't see anything the
matter with those pictures expression
and commenced to wonder what all
the fuss was about. One of the Off
Gals afterwards said he didn't see an
Objectionable thing in the whole set
of reels and it would have been no
more than Justice to Manager Gold
man to pay him SIS for the trouble he
had been to, though Mr.. Goldman
didn't hear about this.
1t afterwards developed that those
who had filed the objection had not
read the book on which the pictures
were founded, nor had they seen the
photOplay. Manager Goldman prompt
ly offered to withdraw the pictures if
anything Objectionable could be found
in them, but after they had been view
ed at the special show no desire was
expressed that he do SO and they were
shown afternoon and evening. AS
matter of fact, many pictures that
come unheralded and that bear the
approval of the National Board of Cen
sorship, as do the Three Weeks pic
lures, make the latter look Hike a study
in piety in comparison-and not a
word is said about them.

NOANK
Palmer Shipyard, Long Idle, Leasec
by PendIeton Brothers, of New York.

An event of Importance to the en-
tire village of NOank is the leasing
of the Palmer shipbuilding plant to the
Pendleton Brothers of New York, the
deal being put through Tuesday. Work
which has already started will be con-
tinued during the summer and quite
a little staff of workmen will be en-
ployed. 1t is the intention of Captain
Pendleton to bring the uncompleted
schooner at the Mystic shipyard,
which was commenced some time ago
by NJ. B. Mcdonald, into the Noank
yard to finish. Pendleton Brothers
have a large number of sailing vessels
and this plant will be used chiefly for
repair work for their own use,
Many families have moved out of
town, many are living here and work
ing in widely scattered parts of the
country. Several of the stores have
had to close, business in all lines has
been less prosperous.
Houses to rent will soon be at a
premium and it is hoped that the gen
eral activity of the village will be the
means of making force water more in
demand than at present.

Bridge Repairs Soon.
Mystic Main street drawbridge,
which has been giving considerable
trouble to traffic lately, is to be re
paired just as soon as the governor
signs the recently passed trunk line
bridge bill. The state highway COM
missioner told Senator Hewitt, who
has been behind the local bridge i'm
provement since the start, that the
plans were all completed and that
the Mystic bridge would be the first
one to be attended to under the new
enactment. This will be received as
the best news in Mystic as the old
bridge has long been a source of vex-
alton. Furthermore electric power will
be installed for operating the draw.
This will probably necessitate con-
siderable work on the bridge ap-
proaches and other improvements, and
repairs, but as just stated the plans
for these alterations are all completed
and the actual commencement of the
work awaits only the signature of the
governor. 1t is not now to early to
state that Senator Hewitt and Repre-
sentative Crandall who have looked
after the bridge interests in the SEN
ate and house of representatives have
made good their promise to bring
about a change for the better in the
operation Of the Mystic drawbridge.

A strange incident in connection
