That is one of the reasons it was Sc

management and it is expected to firmly
establish the company in its first week.
While there is belief that the plays
the thing" it holds equally true that in
the matter of stock drama productions
the players are decidedly a big asset
and Mr.. Poll and his executive staff
have for more than a year been scout
ing, if that is the word looking over
every big stock company in the United
States and signing up players for the
purpose of having here in New Haven
and at the Hyperion what could be
truthfully called an all star organiza-
ton and the best and most talented
company of players offering dramatic
stock in the United States.
Mr.. Poll has full confidence that his
men have worked we'll and that his
belief as above will be fully verified by
the public who see the different produc-
tons. The big ace the best in Amer
lea, is the selection of A. H. Van Buren,
as leading man of the Hyperion play
ers.
"Van," as he is fan1iliarly called, is
New Haven boy, born here, educated
in the public and high schools, and one
of the best known actors in this coun-

Playing opposite him will be Lola

Another stage celebrity with the Play

THE BIJOU.

Quite the time1iest booking ever made
in the motion picture line is that for the
Bijou for this Sunday night and the
three days following when Henry B.

pictures, comes in The Boomerang, >,
a scathing arraignment of the food
prohteers so much so that the picture
has been endorsed by the Consumers
League and by the United States De-
partnent of Labor. The story deals
with the vast problems of the present
day such as the high cost of living and
the workingman's salary. 1t asks if the
poor mans babe is entitled to the same
rights as the rich mans poodle and
around these questions motion picture
of the first magnitude has been built
Wa1thall plays the role of a young
lawyer the son of the president of a
gigantic meat corporation. The story
takes UP the case of this young lawyer
after he has been turned from his faith
er's home owing to his opposition to
gigantic amalgamation that will bear
down on the poor of the city with in
creased hardships. How he takes the
side of the oppressed, how he fights for
them and eventually wins out even over
his father and his powerful ally are
events which make picture of I'm
usual interest. The producers have sur
rounded the star with a notable cast
including Melbourne Mac Dowell Nina

THE "117TH"; YOURS
: rs ETERNAL FAME

What unit in the Army, of the
same size can say that it won
such imperishable renown as the
117th Trench Mortar Battery, of
the AID, or Rainbow Division,
which was honored Tuesday in
Baltimore with parade that
will never be forgotten in Mary
land history?
The first National Guard bat
terry of its kind, the 117th went
to France in October, 1917, with
out the least knowledge of the
work which it was to- perform
except that which goes with a
fixed purpose to do well what
ever presents itself.
These men had the fame be-
hind them of Howard and Smith,
of Tilghman and Gilmor, of
Schley and Armistead, and they
knew that Marylanders had al
ways given a good account of
themselves in whatever battles
they had to wage.
Bob" Gill, now lieutenant
colonel. gave these men the
added touch of close personal in
spiration. He was a daredevil.
He knew the thrills of a ninety
horse power automobile and he
had fired the first gun of the first
company's- twelve-inch practice
without a qtiver. His idea of
patriotic service was to be where
the fight was hottest and he got
where he wanted to go.
Small wonder, then, that the
French government gave the
following men Of the battery the
coveted croix de guerre: Corp.
Harry w. Tanning, Sergt.
Charles w. Stout, Corp. John
w: Suter, sjr.; Sergt. Thomas E.
Sporrer, Corp. Bernard Block,
Corp. Joseph L. Walker (wound-
ed), Raymond Bryant (wound-

Wolfe (killed).
