SINGERS MIDGETS 5.
 COMING TO LYCEUM

New Britain theatergoers are show
 ing considerable interest in the com- ing appearance of Singers Midgeets, the most remarkable group of little people in the world, and the biggest and most expensive vaudeville act in America. The Midgets or Li1l1pu- tians will be seen in a revue, staged by Ned Weyburn, and will include ten different and complete acts, the entire performance lasting about an hour. Other acts and photo plays will be shown in addition to the midgets.
 There have been Lilliputian com- panies in American vaudeville before, but none who could compare with the present troupe under the personal direction of Baron Leo Singer. Not only are they interesting because of their size, but all of them are indi- vidually clever, and they furnish en- semble singing, dancing and march numbers, all staged by the master of production, Ned Weyburn, which are truly remarkable. The tiny prlma donna of the troupe, Dora Ve1g, g. Hungarian girl, 20 years old, has a wonderful soprano voice, is come dfenne, and a dramatic actress Of un- usual ability. Carl F1orio, the lead ing man. is a wonderful violfnist and singer. Others are strong men, eo,1estriennes elephant and other animal trainers, banjofsts, acrobats and comedians. Were this the only attra ction on the bill for next week, it would be far superior to any show ever presented at the Russwin Ly- ceum Seats at CrowelPs Thursday.

ANNIVERSARY WEEK
 HAS FINE ATTRACTION

A Spiegel production in a Spiegel house on @ Spiegel anniversary, af- lords the patrons of the Grand thea ter this week, an opportunity of wit messing one of the best balanced bur- lesque troops appearing on the Columbia circuit, in "The Spiegel Revue" which opened an engagement yesterday, and the crowd that was on hand last evening to join in the third anniversary exercises, left the theater satisfied that the management had used excellent judgment in the selec- ton of the show which would assist in making this week one of history in the Grand theater. Followers of Eurlesque have reached the decision that when a show is marked with the name Spiegel attached it is a guaran- tee that all that is new, bright and musical in burlesque circles will be handled by capable performers. This weeks company is positive con- victiOn that this is sO The theater always presenting an inviting, cheer ing atmosphere, outdOes itself this week with an abundance of decora- tiOns suspended from the balcony and placed in neat fashion about the boxes. The added features arranged by Manager Scollom which opened with Irish Night,'' is bound to prove sn innovation with the attendants at the theater this week.
 Speaking of the Revue it can be said without fear or favor that the same pep displayed by the com- pany last year is always in evidence
 and, lead by those popular stars, Billy Mossey and Midgie Miller, there are nc dull moments during the three hours of time the show requires Miss Miller is as vivacious performer as graces the boards, and her work is responded to by encore after encore, keeping the little lady pretty busy throughout the evening. As a delin- eator of the German character, Billy MOssey succeeds in making everybody happy, there being a marked contrast in his efforts to those of other similar performers. The performance opens in "Spotless Town,' remem bered by many from last season, with scenery that is aduquate and costumes that are of a handsome makeup. The abil- ity of the chorus girls to sing Is unusual. The Spiegel feature, 'The Girl on the Magazine with it's elec- trical effects, featuring Marie Allen, Is well carried out Several catchy num- bers are rendered during the perform ance, by Miss Miller, Miss Young, Leo Nade1l, the Callahan brothers and the Hawaiian Four. The regular pro- gram of performances will be con- dpcted as usual this week, with chorus girl night being the special feature this evening.

Report Cards for Life.

Do you remember the report cards you used to get when you were in school? Of course you do. That is the sort of thing one doesn't forget in a lifetime. I can shut my eyes now and see those little black G's and F"s, with an E for English and a P for drawing (we were marked by the system of Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, and capital B, alleged by teach CTS to stand for Very Poor, when one could plainly see that it was the in1- tial of a shorter and more emphatic word).
 To return to the main road. Would not 1t be rather 8 good idea if there were someone to give us report cards later in life2 Not on our studies, but on such things as social tact, manners, self expression, etc.
 How Would the Average Girl Stand
 In Expression?
 It would be interesting to see how one stood, wouldn't it? And don't you think many girls who stood we'll in other departments would be surprised to find what a bad mark they would get in expression? I do. And I have a letter friend who feels the same. It to write this reminder Here 1t Is. They Expressed "Yes'' or "No" By
 Grunts.

ONE THOUSAND MILES
THRU COLORADO

There are a few copies Of "One
Thousand Miles Thru Colorado" by
John p. Dodds, the western manager
of the Blue Book company.
1t will he remembered that John
P. Dodds planned trip thru Colo
RADIO and was to visit the San Juan.
1t so happened that when he reach
ed Gallub, from which point he was
to turn north in the San Juan, the
stormy season set in and he decided
to return directly to Chicago.
He is now planning to attend the
celebration on the 18th Of July and
be with the big crowd on top of the
continental divide.
Dodds is an interesting writer, but
his chief work is creating interest
in national and state roads. His com
pany fas done much to advertise ev-
ery section of the United State:
where the people are energetic en-
ough to build roads.
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-06-01

Several years ago he got inter
ested in Colorado scenery and since
has done much toward stimulating the
road building idea. He is one who
gets in his car, foresakes his office,
and goes out among the people with
the idea of gathering information as
to their needs.
No person has done more to devel-
op the good roads of the western sec
tion of the United States than has
John P. Dodds of Chicago.
