l Next Monday evening the Berlin 1 Literary society will hold an open meeting in the Berlin Congregational 1 church chapel. This meeting prom ises to be an especially enjoyable one since Miss Althea Clark of Meriden will read Henry Arthur Jones' play, ''The Liars'' As Miss Clark is a 1 graduate of the Leland Powers Scho 1 of Expression in Boston and as she ! has made great success of her work, the society feels that they are indeed | fortunate to be able to have her with them on this occasion. At present, Grace George is appearing in a revival of 'The Liars' in New York so the time is especially opportune for the reading of the play
