YOUNG DR.. WRIGHT
INFLUENZA VICTIM

DR.. Thomas G. Wright, who was head
of the English Department at the sum-
mer school at Middlebury College last
summer, and who had made all arrange
ments to return here again this sum-
mer. died at his home in New Haven,
Conn, last Monday. News of his death
was contained in a letter received by
Acting President Edward D. Collins
from DR.. Wright's younger brother,
Capt Burnett B. Wright, who is in the
Chemical Warfare Service, Nela Park,
Ohio. After his return from Middle

the New Haven hospital to help care
for the large number of influenza pa
tients. He carried this work along
with his duties as instructor in the Eng
lish Department of the Sheffield
Scientific School at Yale Univer-
sity, and so greatly overtaxed his
strength that he undermined his own
health and was unable to resist the in
huenza when it attacked him.
DR.. Wright is remembered at Mid
dlebury as an energetic and successful
head of last seasons English school, and
as a faculty member of much promise
He was only about 35 years old. Mrs,
Wright, who was Mabel Kingsbury, is
second cousin of Mrs. Frank W.
Cady, and she also had spent last sum-
mer here.
In addition to his brother, DR.. Wright
is survived by sister who operates
a small fruit farm near Phelps, N "
which was his former home.

"A Lady's Name" at Strand

Constance Talmadge in "a Lady's
Name" a sparkling comedy drama, is
the Strands offering for the final
showing today.
"A Lady's Name" tells all about a
young authoress who is engaged to be
married to a man whom she has
learned to detest. He is ultra-con
sentative, a fop, and everything else
but man. In the spirit of attempting
to find relief, she advertises for hus-
band, and among the applicants are a
butler and handsome, dashing
young man, Noel Corcoran. OF course
Mabel Constance Talmadge) does not
know that the butler is the servant of
Noel, and Noel does not know that
the butler is in the race, and the butler
does not know that he has his master
for a rival. That's the basis for the
wholesome and clean fun with which
the comedy drama is replete. The
climax is reached when Mabel accepts
the invitation TO dinner offered by the
butler, at which he promises some OF
the very best servants in the city will
be present, for the master is away and
they will stage the big event in the big
house.
