Barn Dance by White Cross coun,

One of the most unique events of the season will be the barn dance to be given in Olympic hall, Tuesday evening, May 16, under the auspices of White Cross council, No. 13, Knights of Columbus. For several weeks the committee in charge of the affair has been hard at work on the arrange ments and now the plans are all made. It will be conducted along entirely different lines from any dance ever given in Norwich and many new and mirth producing features will be in- troduced to give zest to the occasion.
 All the local knights will be there in typical farmer costumes and the ladies will be arrayed in cotton gowns, wearing sun bonnets and car rying the indispensable milk pails. Suitable prizes will be offered for the ladies and gentlemen whose dress most notably typifes the spirit of the oc- casion.
 The advance sale of tickets indi- cates a great deal of interest in the event and a large attendance. Some will go to participate, others to be amused, but whether as participants | or onlookerss all who attend are as- Esured of an enjoyable. evening. Tick cts can be obtained from the mem bers of the council and at Smith & Dunn's, Ring & Sisk's and Brays drug stores.

The George Kleine five-reel feature, Bondwomen, made a very deep impression on the audiences that saw it yesterday and proved to be as strong a feature as was expected. 1t will be shown again today as well as the Pathe comedy reel, A Squabble for a Squab.
 For Friday and Saturday of this week the management of the Auditor ium has booked caIo attraction in
 7e Lasky- Paramount feature, Geral dine Farrar, the metropolitan opera star, who made such a tremendous hit here a few weeks ago in her Carmen, this time appearing in Hector Turn bulls Temptation. It is a present day story and deals with stage life.
