Margaret lliinston's Startling Drama, The Lie, at the Davis, by the Myrtle Company,

When the theater- going public of Norwich have an opportunity of seeing such timely and startling drama as The Lie and at one-quarter the price of admission charged in the larger cities, they certainly should avail themselves of this opportunity and see this great play.
 Miss Ellington was the talk of New York when the play was presented at the Empire theatre last season.
 Like all great plays it is entirely different from the ordinary, and the theme of the play is laid in Fpgland and has to do with a wealthy family that has gradually dropped into poy- erty.
 The Myrkle Harder company has been one of Norwich's favorite com panies. Nothing seems to be too big TOT them to handle and they consider the theatregoers' wishes and tastes in selecting their plays.
 Myrkle- -Harder's company consists Of only the best players. That is one reason why they always do such splendid business not only in this city but every place they go. And in tonight's play Miss Myrkle has one of her pet parts of Elinor. the part made famous by Miss Ellington. The ad . vance sale indicates that there will be large audience present
 Tomorrow night the company pre- sents what they term their feature play, The Heart of Wetonah. This piece was presented at the Lyceum theatre, New York. by David BeIa scn and Charles Frohman.

f
 Headquarters Co, 301st Machine Gun B'n., Camp Devens: Around a certain barracks in Camp Devens there has been an air of mystery the past two weeks, at times burst of sweet harmony would cleye the even- ing air then again Lost Chords" would shatter the atmosphere and the mules across the company street would stop kicking in their admira- tion for the voices that outdid theirs in volume and beauty
 After a lot of clever gum shoe work it was found that the disturbance was caused by Privates John Slattery, Carl Lyons and Sergeant Nicholas Spell man, rehearSing with the Headquart- CTS Company of the 301st Machine Gun Battery, "Norwich's Own." their big military sketch, "A Hot Night in Camp" which they will produce in Norwich April 18th. The boys are working hard and they feel sure that their efforts will be appreciated and their only wish is that the entertain ment will be as big success as it has been throughout the cantonment and surrounding towns.
 All the officers of the Headquarters Company and the commanding officer of the battalion will be down with the men and Norwich men are confident that it will be the biggest night that the city ever saw.
 The men feel very grateful to the Cadillac dance hall who have agreed to close down their dance for the ev- ening and donate the services of their orchestra also to Tubbs band who have kindly offered to play for the big parade.
 Reports coming to the camp have ii that the Knights of Columbus and the Elks are working on all cylinders to make ir a big success and it is hoped that all Norwich is doing the same. for remember it is our last time home so everybody do their bit.
