POLES.

There is a corkinS program at Poli's Main street house the first three days of thi week, the principal at- traction being one of those girly musical melanges entitled What Could Be Sweeter." The plot is defi- nitcly and prettily carried out, the amusement it provides cieverly en- hlnced and strengthened by the ar rangenent of catchy songs and numer- ous dance novelties.
 Styling themselves "Syncopated Bluejackets," the Ja Da Trio, so named because one of their number composed the recent successful Fox Trot of that name. are doing much toward keeping audiences satisfied. Tho songs roll forth fin rapid success sion, all to the piano accompaniment of tho ex-sailor with the song writing procHvities. Their version of the tuneful popular hit is a revelation in the singing of jazz music.
 Martha Hamilton & Company pre- sent a delightful comedy playlet en- titled "This Way Out" Miss HamiI- ton and her associates are deserving of considerable credit for the manner in which they have woven a few do- mestic tragedies into a comic skit.
 Lillian Lane has a manner all her own in singing. Her costumes are modishly designed. worn prettily and blend harmoniously with the scenic arrangement of her act. Nor should all the praise be given Miss Lanes ability to dress things up properly for she has a mighty pleasing voice.
 Musical novelties are pleasing1y of- fered by Walter J. Hayes. The offer inG is given an unexpected turn by the manner fin which it is staged.
 There is a Mack Sennett comedy film and Pathe features.

WEST END.

Charles Ray. the Thomas H. Ince- Paramount star, appears in a decid- edly new type of character in his new photoplay "Grcased Lightning" which will be presented at the West End theatre tonight.
 We have seen Mir. Ray in past per- formances as the baseball player. the hired man. the young city sport, tho spoiled mothers boy and the like, but no typo of the past gives him such opportunity for his subtle com cdy as does the small town inventor. a character he portrays with admir- able taste in Creased Lightning"
 The play derives it's name from a racing automobile, the product of the young inventors genius. which fails to work until the crucial moment in the story. Then it becomes the speed demon that runs down the william.
 "A Lady Bell Hops Secret" reel Sunshine comedy will also be shown.

THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
EMPIRE

Olive Thomas. one of the most beau tiful stars of the screen, will be seen in her latest feature, "The Follies Girl" at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow. This picture is from the story of W. Carey Wonderly. It tells of the secret marriage of a. de- mure star of the footlights to the nephew of a rich, old man who Is be lieved to be on his death-bed. The old man is surrounded by relatives who are anxious to inherit his wealth. Miss Thomas is installed as the old mans nurse, and then complications develop rapidly. For this former stage beauty makes a hit with the invalid, renews his interest in life and quickly regains his health.
 The relatives are furious, for they fear the uncle's fondness for his nurse may separate them from his gold for ever. Then comes the big surprise of the picture, and love triumphs in ia vor of the 1ittel actress with a big heart.
 Miss Thomas plays her part bril- liantly. and it is an ideal vehicle for the fair Olive, who first stepped into renown as a star of the first magni- tude with the Ziegfeld Midnight F'rolic in New York
 Her supporting cast is said to be ex- cellent, and includes Wallace Mac- Donald, William V. Long, Lee Phelps, Ray Griffith and other well known players. The director. Jack Dillon. has produced the picture in excellent taste, and admirers of Miss Thomas will find this production well worthy of a visit to the Empire theatre.

WALNUT BEACH MAY ECLIPSE
 SAv!N ROCK
The Milford Resort Has This Goal in View-Ce-
 ment Road From Devon.

There was large delegation of Devon residents at the town meeting at the Municipal hall last night and they came away well pleased with the action of the meeting. It was unani- mously voted to build a permanent road from the Devon station through Naugatuck and Electric avenues to Walnut Beach and along the beach as far as can be built with the appropri- ation. The meeting voted to appro- priate S5O,00O for the work and au- thorized bonds for the amount; 5000 of the bonds to be redeemed August l, 1920, and s5,000 on August 1 of each succeeding year until the whole amount was redeemed. The bonds are to bear 5 per cent. payable Semi-an- nually and are to be sold to the high est bidder. The meeting was presid- ed over by Norman Buckingham and Town Clerk Rose was the clerk.
 Opposition to the appropriation be- gan early in the meeting when Judge w. B. Stoddard moved that the mat ter be recommitted to the Board of Finance for further consideration, but this motion was talked down with such yigor that when the vote was taken, it was unanimous in favor of the appropriation. The road is to be constructed with a six inch concrete base and two inches of amicite on top, for $3.05 square yard. It is expected that the work will be com pleted before fan.
 The meeting also voted an appro- priation of s2,50O out of the contin- gent fund to cover the expenses of the Welcome Home celebration to be given to the returned soldiers on Sat urday, August 23.
 The tentative plans of the commit tee in charge of the Welcome Home celebration consists of a meeting in the morning at the Green and a parade in the center of the town, field sports and a baseball game at Fort Trumbull beach in the after noon, a clam bake at Walnut Beach in the evening, followed by fireworks and 9 dance in the town hall.
 The result of the meeting shows that the voters of Devon united with the voters of Walnut, Myrtle and Fort Trumbull Beaches can control the town meetings when they get together.

FRENCH NURSE F'OILED
 GERMAN THIRD DEGREE.

Condemned to death by the Ger
 mans for her efforts in behalf of fugi-
 tive French soldiers Mademoiselle L.
 Hotellier, directrice of the General
 Hospital at Cambrai, was spared, but she was fated to undergo all that Prus-
 sian ingenuity could devise to compel
 her to betray her associates. She was
 hustled from one German prison to
 another and subjected to the grossest
 hardships, but her spirit never quail
 ed, and finally she escaped, trium-
 phantly returning to France still
 guarding her secrets. Her own story,
 one of the most gripping of the in
 humerable tales of French women's
 heroism, was given Ida M. Tarbell,
 who recounts it in the July number
 of the New Red Cross Magazine. Of her escape from Valenciennes. Madem oiselle LHotelIier told Miss TarbeIl:
 "I was so frightful1y ill that they
 all thought I would die but I meant to live-I meant to live and escape. For six months I worked on my plans As I grew better I could walk a little and they let me go into the garden. Finally I asked them to let me put on my nurses costume, for curiously enough in all my wanderings my be- longings had gone with me, even to my umbrella. I walked in the garden day after day until the guards were used to me. Then one day I walk ed out of the garden into the town. The guards did not notice. The sisters closed their eyes, I did this often al- ways returning until one day I walk ed out as usual, nothing in my hands, and did not return. I walked on and on into the country through Valenci- ennes into the country toward Bel gium. Everybody supposed me a lady 1 on an errand of mercy.

OVER 900 9TH
 GRADERS WILL GRADUATE JUNE :23
Place Where Exercises Will Be Held Not Decided
 Upon.

With over 300 boys and girls grad uating from the eighth grades of the public schools in the city, a most in teresting program had been arranged by the Board of Education for the closing exercises to take place on Monday evening, June 23. In all probability the exercises will take place at the High school, but owing to the large number of graduates, it is doubtful whether the auditorium would accommodate all who are plan ming to attend. The place for the oc- casion is therefore under the consid- eration of the Board of Education at the present time, and it is hoped they will reach a decision today or tomor- row.
 This is the second year when the eighth grades of the city are allowed to have combined affair in celebration of their graduation. Previously, com- mencement exercises were held at the various schools. The program as ar ranged is as follows:
