my Sunshine Lady" Great PLAY.

One OF the best musical comedy at
fractions appearing here in years
was My Sunshine Lady which
played the Grand last Thursday even
ing. A packed house greeted the play
1ann Managers Bear & Weiser can
be given credit for picking the best
in real shows to play DEBORAH. They
have tried their best for years to
pick only the best for the patrons of
the Grand and everyone will agree
that their judgment has been good.
my Sunshine Lady" was a high
class attraction Miss Gunrun Wal
berg, the star of the cast, was most
entertaining and likable character.
Her singing and dancing was ex-
ceptionally good. The company had
several other stars also who knew
how u act. The chorus was well
drilled and the costumes were stun
ming. With attractions like "My Sun
sbir. Lady" the box office OF the
G. will never suffer.

1.-THE UNPARDONABLE SIN"
Great Attraction Coming to the Star
Monday October 20.

THE objectionable SIM" which is
to be presented at the Star theatre
!; for two day engagement beginning
Monday, October 20, is a moving
picture attraction which DEBORAH
people who have followed the de-
Velopment OF the screen as a medium.
Tor the presentation of really big
/ dramatic ideas cannot afford to miss.
There have been many unqualified
Expressions of opinion to the effect
that The objectionable Sin" is the
greatest photoplay ever produced
and there is no denial of the state
ment that it ranks with such attract
ions as The Birth of a Nation, ;"
intolerance" and Hearts of the
World" all of which are outstanding
successes in the realm OF motion
pictures.
This super attraction was complet-
ed on tne Pacific coast short time

consensus of opinion was that The

sense OF the word-big in the story
told, big in its manner of telling and
big in the work of Blanche sweet.

port her. This early opinion has been
more than confirmed by the reviews
of the authoritative dramatic critics
in all the large cities where the film
has already been shown.
The story is by Rupert Hughes
and it first appeared serially in the
Red Book. The complete book was
published not long after and at once
established itself as one of the best
sellers. In it Blanche Sweet has the
dual role OF the Parcot sisters, DIM
ny and Alice, as outlined in Nj.
Hughes daring story. She is called
upon to do some of the most emotion
al work of her career and all critics
agree that she is unsurpassed by any
other feminine stars since her tre-
mendously successful appearance in
The objectionable Sin" The tale
is one of love and adventure. Dimny,
who is the real heroine in the story,
starts bravely out to find her poor
sister, Alice, upon whom has been
perpetrated "the objectionable SIM"
With Alice as their mother, who has
been unequally unfortunate. They
write Dimny saying they will never
return home-that they are too
ashamed Dauntless, Dimny resolves
to find them. On the way she meets
Noll Windsor Matt Moore), who
helps her escape from her first
serious adventure, and together they
agree to search for the missing mo-
Their and sister. 1t is during the
search that Rupert Hughes has given
his best in story writing, through his
wonderful descriptions of the almost
unbelievable adventures his two
leading characters pass through.
Throughout the entire structure
of the story beautiful tale of love
is developed, making THE I'm
pardonable Sin" one of the most
vitality interesting narratives ever
unfolded on the silver sheet.
This unusual production will have
its DEBORAH premier at the star
theatre, starting Monday, Oct. 20
and continuing for two days. Two
shows daily will be given at $3.50

GOOD OPPORTUNITY
AT EVENING SCHOOL
Those Who VIII Enroll Now VIII
Learn More and Later May Earn
More BY knowledge.

The evening school classes are more
changing and flexible than day school
classes. There is no good reason why
q person cannot enter at any time
aud find class suited to his needs.
1t is the purpose Of such a school to
form a new class whenever and wher
ever it is needed.
There are two sorts of people who
do not come to the evening classes
because they misunderstood these
facts. The one group feel that they
must not enter except at the beginning
Of the year, but in truth they may
enter at the first opportunity. There
are many other people. who after
missing some sessions due to illness
or other reason, fail to return to the
school because they fear that they
won't fit in But such is usually a
mistaken idea. Now after the Christ
mas holidays will be particularly
good time to start your Evening
/ School work or to return to it If you
have been absent.
Then there is whole army of boys
and girls in their teens who are doing
nothing to prepare for better wages
or advancement. They simply waste
their leisure hours and their evenings,
although they have not yet finished
the elementary grades at the time Of
their leaving school. Such young
people are frequently not even we'll
fitted for unskilled labor. Their earn
ing capacity is Of q low order and they
have still less ability or training to
spend their money wisely. Such young
people display neither high earning
capa city nor wisdom in the spending
of their leisure. They are rarely of
equal calibre with those who exhibit
I the energy and industry to undertake
evening study.

SILVER COINS DISAPPEAR.
Mexico Embarrassed BY Their Alb
Sence From Circulation.

Mexico City, Jan. 4.-Infinite an
noyance to every resident and an ap-
preciable loss to business houses has
resulted from the virtual disappear
ance from circulation of silver coins.
These comprise half peso pieces and
those of twenty and ten centavoS. The
constantly increasing price of silver
has given spectators a chance to
make enormous profits by cornering
the silver coins for sale as bullion.
When the shortage became noticeable,
the capital press printed stories on
the disappearance of the coins. An
immediate rush to hoard what coins
remained then began.
Persons without change are unable
to make small purchases as many
will decline to sell if they are forced
to give silver change for q ten or
twenty peso gold piece. The govern
ment, to relieve the situation, is
rushing operations to mint Il new
gold coin worth two and a half pesos.
Then, too, the fact that all in
the same kind of business
can come together on common ground,
discloses better feeling among the
business competitors The chamber
would be much pleased if these groups
would come together frequently and
talk over matters that como up, as it
would provide the quickest way for
united effort on the part of all, to
push forward and develop the mer-
camille trade.
Monday, January G, at three p. m,
the conference will include the hard
ware, paint, wall paper, plumber g
supplies and picture framing stores.
Tuesday at two .. III. the jeWel1y,

goods stores will meet

SALARY COMMITTEE
TO MEET MONDAY
Several Hearings win BE Granted
Those Who Seek Salary Increase
Next Year

One of the most interesting meet
ings in some time is expected to be
that of the salary committee of the
common council which will be held at
s O'Clock Monday evening. The ques-
ton of salary increases is a large one
and one which will need much con-
sideration. Nearly every department
in the city's business life is seeking
increases. The majority of them are
asking for increases of 90 per cent.
Those who will be heard at the meet
ing on Monday night are; Fire de-
ent--chlef and committee of
firemen; city comptroller; registrar
Of voters. assessors, Mayor Quigley,
building inspector. sealer OF weights
and measures assistant prosecuting
attorney, chairman of charity board
and chairman and superintendent of
the water departm
There is at present q resolution be-
fore the common council that the Of
flee hours Of those in City hall be
made uniform. When the increases
in salary were asked for. some new
conditions were brought to light.
There were several employees who
were always in at 80 in the morning
and who worked many hours of over
time without compensation. These
did not feel that they were entitled
to the same pay and therefore re-
quested more. Then all the depart
ments. and it is said that some of the
employees have made & practice of
coming and going when they wished
to, petitioned for tho increase. If all
the increases are granted as asked
for the amount will be high up in the
thousands 1t is expected that there
will be several lively tits at the meet
ing

LOCAL GIRL AT LYCEJAT.
Miss Kathleen A. Walsh to Sing
There Next Week.

Miss Kathleen A Walsh, one OF
New Britain's best known soloists. has
been engaged by the Lyceum to ap-
pear at every performance the first
half of next week much to the de-
light of her legion OF friends here.
Miss Walshs voice is a sweet soprano,
and she will best be remembered for
her excellence in the leading role Of
the T. A. B. show THE Yankee
Prince" The song selected for Miss
Walsh is Daddy Mine" and stimuli
taneous with her singing it will be
shown in motion pictures. This is a
fad introduced by the Lyceum to
this city.
Local theatergoers will welcome
this treat, for voice like Miss
Walsh's ts seldom heard in vaudeville,
She possesses the rare quality of COM
bining her higher notes with a firm
ness and mellowness and seemingly
without effort The management has
made arrangements for leading New
York musical and opera managers to
be present during her engagement.
they being always on the lert for
talent which they cannot readily find
in the metropolis Their names will
be announced on the different days
they arrive. A striking example of
how talent is discovered Is conspic-
uous in the case of Miss Rosa Pom
zelle of Meriden, John Maloney OF the
b. F. Keith theaters heard her sing
and he was SO impressed with her
ability that he took her to New York,
and in the space of one year she has
reached the envtable position Of sing
ing opposite Caruso at the Metropoii-
tan Opera House. This young woman
only one year ago was singing illus
traded songs in her home town.
Miss Walsh will appear at the IN-
ceun as an added feature. In con-
nection with their vaudevill and
photo-feature program.
