ALL ROADS TO
DANBURY FAIR GROUNDS

Rumors have reached the Danbury
Fair officials that the New Haven road
may recede from its stand of mo
excursion trains to fairs this fall, by
running trains to the Danbury Fair
Thursday and Friday, Oct. and s..
But this is entirely matter for the
railroad people to suit themselves
about, although the Fair officials
would appreciate it, of course, if the
road should decide to put the excur-
sions on. In the meanwhile the motor
bus people from as far away as At
lantic City, N. j.; Albany, N. Y, and
Pittsfeld, Mass, are arranging to send
their 'busses to this territory to bring
people to the Fair, and James w.
Porter, who has done much travelling
the last three weeks in the interest
of the Danbury Fair, reports that
public service automobile owners In
every city and town he has visited
are preparing to take advantage of
the opportunity the railroad has
given them to add to their receipts
1t is estimated that the road will sac
rif1ce between $1,000 and $4,000 by
emitting to run the usual excursion
trains from Hartford, Waterbury,
Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford
and Norwalk. All these cities are
now connected with Danbury by good
state roads, and motor cars can make
just as quick and safe journeys to
the Fair as the railroads can.-Adv.

PLAZA

The Plaza had corking program of
mixed varieties and feature screen
plays to offer yesterday and last even
ing and large audiences greeted all
three performances.
The Road to Romany," a big oper-
attic revue. headed the vaudeville at
fractions and scored -phenomenafly.
There are six gifted vocalists in the
cast and the harmony in the ensemble
numbers is a treat for any man, wo-
man or child who has love for music
in even the slightest degree. The
stage Is handsomely and deliberately
set with special scenic and electrical
effects.
Dooley & Nelson have a nifty offer
ing of song and eccentric dancing that
deserves unlimited commentator. The
act, while not what you might call a
novelty, as novelties are looked upon
today, Is different entirely from the
Bual song and dance skit and it is
originally and cleverly presented by
this talented pair.
Swan & OsDea offer a black-face
comedy diversion that is one of the
bright spots OF the bill, while Binns &.
Bart put one right over the plate
with their classy gymnastics that will
long be remembered by local audi
ences.
THE Ten of Diamonds" Dorothy
Dalton's latest starring vehicle, proved
one of the most remarkable screen
dramas OF recent months and the
lstratght-from-the-sh manner in
which its daring story is handled

entire showing Of the picture

is the retired headmaster and owner
of the Stone Preparatory school, a
high grade boys school located at
Cornwall, N. Y. In November of last
year, DR.. Stone sailed for Europe, and
under Mr.. Hoover and Ambassa dor
Penfield, engaged in Belgian relief
work
He was stationed close to the Ger
man border, and when last April, Am
bassador Penfeld and his staff were
recalled, DR.. Stone was not permitted
by the German government to leave.
He was, however. given permission
during June to return by way of
Switzerland and Paris, and arrived in
the states early in July. His talk,
Thursday night, will deal with firist
hand experiences while abroad. He
will tell facts about the German deal
ings with the Belgian people.
On account of the wide general in
terest in the war, and the appeal of
Belgium to the Imagination, the Mems
league has decided to have this adj
dress in the Church auditorium and
extend an invitation to the general
public to attend.

DANCE TO -FOUR BANJos.

The four banjos with the Ferdi-
nando Brothers Dance Orchestra are
the dance hit of the year. There isn't
another orchestra on the stage today
that can produce a quartette of
banjos and for THAR eason Ferdi-
nando Brothers Dance Orchestra is
in a class by itself and if that wasn't
enough as a dancing feature it also
produces a saxaphone quartet that
for the playing of the real waltz of
today is without an equal. 1t is real
music that this organization produces
in Colonial Hall on Thursday evening,
and with it's reed instruments and no
brass it is an innovation that for the
music alone is a genuine pleasure to
attend. Many folks are not fond OF
neutrality-suspicious. they don't enthuse
over it but just try to sit through one
of the new patriotic fox trots or one
steps as put over by this quartet 81
banjos. It's real dance music from
the first to the last note. Concert
from to and dancing to midnight.

That 1t will be capacity week at

The greatest dancing act that has
been produced on the vaudeville stage
