Oyster Bay, N. Y.-When Col.
Roosevelt summoned the newspaper
correspondents to Sycamore Hill to
tell them he had tentatively refused
the Progressive nomination for the
presidency, he had nothing to add to
what he had said in his telegram to
the convention at Chicago in regard 70
his present position.
He told something, however, of the
steps which led up to his message
suggestion that Progressives and Re
publicans united upon Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge as compromise candi
date. One Republican and two Pro
gressive conferees on the joint con
ference committee called him over TIT
long distance telephone to explain thu
situation as it then stood.
No Comment to Make.
Col. Roosevelt informed them a
that time he declared that he intend
ed to suggest the joint nomination o
Senator Lodge. All three conferees
he said, seemed at that time to b.
agreed that such step would be sal
isfactory. He declined to name tn
Republican member Of the aommitte
other than to say that he had been
supporter of Justice Hughes.
Col. Roosevelt sent hls telegram c
refusal to the Progressives before h
had read Justices Hughes statemen
Later when asked if he had any con
ment to make on the Hughes stat
ment he replied:
"Not a word; not a word about an

A GOOD OLD WORLD.

A good old world-be glad you're here To share it's smile and share its tear, To dance and sing and have your day, To greet some brother on the way.
 To lend your light that those who
 stand In darkness may not go astray
 Across the green leagues of the land. A good old world-1ook up and see The glory of the grass and tree, The bird and flower, the brook and The dappIed vaIes that lie in dream.
 The hills, the stars, the fertile slope. And OCT bright summits catch the
 Of life's immortal love and hope. A good old workable brave and bright To face your task and fight your
 fight,
 To sing your song and lift your eyes Beyond the shadows to the skies,
 And do your best and keep the trust That more than all we Eot of lies
 Beyond this dallianca and this dust. A good old world-play we'll your part, Get in the game and tune your heart To manly will and fortnight deed, And so through life with love for creed
 Be sure the heights you seek shall Before you yet. though feet may bleed ,- And many a bubble burst and blow. -FoIger McKinsey, in the Baltimore

AT THE AUDITORIUM,
Five New Acts on the Bill Today and
 the Rest of the Week.

An entire change of vaudeville pro- gram will take place at the Auditor ium today when @ new bill of five high class acts will be presented Head ing the bill will be The Austins, a comedy slack-wire act, which promises to be a winner. Linton and Watson have a neat comedy singing and talk ing skit with special stage setting and will put over q lot of up-to-date rapid fire stuff which is bound to please. A distinct novelty will be presented by Charles Diamond. an accomplished harpist, who has an exceptional in- strument on which he plays excep- tionally well. Daily and Parks, two pretty girls will present @ nifty offer ing on the bill. and Karlton and Cliff ford will intraduce an act new to vau- deville and something very original They are two young artists of excep- tional ability and will paint on can- vas several exquisite outdoor scenes These boys have a style of working which makes their act not only pleas ing but very interesting. The show will open with @ cartoon comedy taken from the Krazy Katz cartoons now running in the Boston American. A George Ide comedy wrY1 complete the picture program. Tomorrow and Sat urday an episode of the Beatrice Fair fax serial will be shown as usual.
 Next Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday, "Jaffrey'' the well-known nov el by William J. Locke, which has been dramatized for motion pictures, will be run. This seven reel masterpiece comes to Norwich direct from run at the Park theatre, Boston, where it Is playing this week. Jaffrey is wonderful drama of love and adven- ture, full of sentiment, beauty and vigor, with a happy ending and fol- lows the book precisely.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-19

There will be an entire new show at the Davis today and the bill for the last half of this week is one that no one should miss. Heading the vaudeville is the big Keith attraction presented by Haviland and Thorton, called At Trouville. This is comedy sketch that is just one taught after another. They carry special scenery and come to the Davis direct from Keith's Theatre, New York. Josephine Lenhart, a dainty little miss, has novel character change offering, that will please everyone; and Nip and Tuck completes the vaudeville with a talkative acrobatic act. This is an act that is different, and one that will be a big hit with the patrons of this theatre. The Triangle feature Is call- ed "The Little Liar, featuring Mae Marsh and Robert Harron. This Is a f1ve-part Griffith production, and is quite an original story, rep1ete with many dramtaic incidents and closes with a big smashing climax. To com- plete the show ChariIe Chaplin, the million dollar comedian, will be seen in his latest and funniest comedy call- ed "The Pawnshop', a two reel pie ture with two thousand laughs.
 The Pawn Shop" has plenty of plot. There are a lot of real thrills mingling in with the laughs, and MT. Chaplin gets away with some actual heroics well mixed with fun.
 As the title indicates, the setting Of this newest picture finds itself be- meath a three ball sign, with Chaplin a sort of under-counter tender, book keeper, window washer and regaler of time to the fair Edna, daughter of the owner of the shop. whose kitchen filled with dainties of her making, opens into the store.
 There was nothing to be censored before this Chaplin picture was pro- nounced fit to go to the public For good oldtime slap stick. rollicking humor, and everything else that a Chaplin comedy ought to be, "The Pawn Shop goes one better.

BREED THEATRE.
Mary Pickford Stars in Famous Play CTS Great Drarna "The Eternal Grind"

If you were beautiful young girl, whose sister had fallen victim to a wealthy chap and the same fellow were to make love to you, and if the sister followed him to your home with he intention of shooting him, would you scream and run away, or would YOU take command of the situation? Mary Pickford took the revolver out Of the girls hand, held the man at hay with fl and sent for a minister When the reverened gentleman ar rived. she concealed herself behind a curtain and held the gun to the mans back while he went through the we'd ding ceremony.
 This all happened in The Eternal Grind Mary Pickford's big feature which is the feature at the Breed Lheatre for today.
 The Breed also presents today the frst chapter of '"The Crimson Stain Mystery" which is entitled The Brand If Satan. This is the most startifng story of modern times and should be seen to be appreciated.
 On Friday and Saturday the Breed will present Mabel Taliaferre in Gods Half Acre" This picture tells a great story. It is strong, gripping. vital and tremendously tense from beginning to end
 Miss Taliaferre may well be remem- bered for her wonderful performance in "Hnr Great Price" and "rhe Snow bird", two pictures in which this star became doubly famous. Her personal charm, her genuine dramatic talents and her rapidly growing popularity are placing her at the top of the list of great moving picture stars Tn Gods Half Acre" Miss Ta1iaferre is seen at her best.

Never be- fore in the history of the art has any one been successful in placing on the screen an animated representation of the Christus. Still, in Civilization" it is done and done with such infinite art that the atmosphere of the thea tre is entirely obliterated and the sanotity of the presentment so pre- served that one. is inspired to pro- found respect.
 The religious aspect of the theme is more spiritual than mundane, thereby lending to the whole an air of inspiration rather than. common place mechanics. It is indeed rare and potent visualization that Thomas H. Ince has been able to achieve, and leads one to believe that there are stranger things than fiction in this old world.
