FIFI OF THE TOY SHOP
The Proceeds to be Invested in Iiber- ty Bonds as a Permanent investment for Scholarship Fund.

'Fi-Ff'' is just the sort of entertain 1nent that one would expect of Hans Christian Anderson and Gene Field should decide to liven up "The House Boat of Styx' as a musical extrava- ganza-
 Legendary characters are portray ed in living flesh and blood and when the Man-in- the Moon in an impuIsive moment rashly promises to tickle Ff Ff (tne finest ParisiaD Doll in the shop) that if she will marry him he will never go out at night and never get full. we sober minded folks far removed from the subtle spell of moonshine and Marguerites will cer- tainIy agree that this is 6 reckless VOW for even a moon-man to make.
 Then there is our old friend, the Sandman, and Aurelia, who was late of Queen Nab & Co.,, and all sorts of toy and fairy creatures dear to the heart of childhoodl days.
 About three hundred local people appear in the big extravaganza The popularity of the production is attest ed by the fact that more than 1000 performances have been staged by MT Rogers and his associate producers. The production has been well receiv- ed in New Haven Providence, Wor- cester and Willimantic and it is ex- pected that Norwich will be no ex- ception to the rule.

BREED THEATRE.
Ethel Barrymore in The Lifted Veil, a Metro Production De Luxe Feature, for Today and Tonight.

A most impressive scene reproduced on the screen is the visualization of Hoffman's wonderful painting, Mary Magdalene Brought Before Christ. which will be shown in the Metro wonderplay starring Ethel Barrymore, The Lifted Veil, at the Breed theatre today and tonight. The picture is first seen as a stained glass window in the church where the heroine, played by Miss Barrymore, is worshipping. Im- pressed by the powerful sermon, and the sight of the sun breaking through the stained glass picture. the picture itself seems to assume life in her minds eye. The figures of the painting are seen to move and the whole inn pressive scene when the mob drags Mary Magdalene before Christ is acted before the spectator up to the moment when Christ shames the womans cap tors with the words: Let him that is without sin among you cast the first stone" The Burton Holmes travelogue is also shown and a very funny Black Diamond comedy completes the bill.
