A PPARENTLY well founded NJ
4 \ Falrmont may within the next
few months have moving picture
theatre that will surpass all other
amusement enterprises Of its kind in
the state. Although the matter Is only
in tie preliminary stages, there IS
present every factor necessary for the
ultimate completion OF the project.
Moving picture magnates have sized
up the local situation and feel that the
time Is ripe for entering the field with
q new house. The site is available,
and the owners have so far considered
tho proposition that they have already
had plans prepared for the building,
their acceptance being subject 10 the
spSsoTal of the Jesse. There are two
bidders In the market for the propo-
sition, either one OF which is amply
able financially to put the project
over, and who is experienced in the
game <f catering to the movie loving
public. This leaves the matter of fl
nancing the erection OF the building
and the agreement with the LESSEE as
the only uncertain element about the
deal. According to one OF the posi-
Bile lessees who spoke only reserved
ly about the project yesterday, the
house will have a seating capacity of
1900 TO 1,400 and will be fitted with
every device for perfect projection
and for the comfort OF the patrons of
the house. The location was not given
out for publication, nothing more be-
ing said than that It was central.
Should the new theatre become a fact,
Fairrnont will be lining herself up
with number of other live cities who
are preparing to meet the ever grow
Ing demand OF the public for elaborats
moving picture theatres with a policy
that Is In keeping with the march OF
the times, Just last week, leading
motion picture magazine published
resume of activity in the building line,
showing that eleven cities are erect
ing new picture houses at, combined
cost of S3,425 900. And it all means
that the moving picture industry Is
Just 81 its infancy. They are keen,
farsighted business men who are put
ting millions into the exhibitors end
of the game, and their influence will
be felt more and more In the produc-.
ton Of moving pictures, a consumma-
ton which no doubt will be welcomed
by countless movie fans who feel that
the producers are not living up to the
standards required Of them.

To say that the play was good is a mild way of putting it. It was simply great. Broken Threads was pro duced in, New York last season, and had such a long run iii the F'ulton theatre. It contained many dramatic, as well as a light touch of comedy situations, which have been extreme ly well staged and well acted. s
 The play is one of those dramas with strong plot running through the whole production, not interesting simply in spots, but full of punch from start to finish. The scenic part of the production was the finest seen in a long time on the local stage. MT. Champlin did full justice to the part and was ably supported by every member of his big company, which numbers 24 people.
 Tonight the company will present for the, first time in Norwich A. H. Woods big New York success. Eyes of Youth. This is the play in which Marjorie Rambear made her greatest success, when the play ran for a whole season at the Liberty theatre.

New London.

At recent meeting of the chamber of commerce architects offered pre- liminary sketches, models, etc., for an industrial building for the approval of the directors of chamber of com merce. They also presented two pos sible sites for the building, one being on Main st. and the other near the State Pier. The idea of the proposed could be used for the housing of the numerous smaller industries stifl in their infancy, until. they grew large enough and independent enough to erect plants of their own. The result of the committees work was to receive orders from the directors to continue their search for more convenient sites and to present more plans for the new building.
 Thomas c. West Co, received the contract for erecting a gar+%s at 416 William st. for Henry H. Beaulieu of the same address. It will be 60X1S feet, one story high, Of frame construc- tion, with metal latll,. plastered inter- for and covered with -stucco. There will be stalls for six cars, and the. cost will be in the neighborhood of $2,700.
 The Soltz' Co.,. who recently ,pIlr- chased 2 large piece of property on Bradley st. and the piece on Main st., now the site of the Sisk building, is planning to tear down the present building on this land and erect a one- story building. which will contain mod ern stores, offices and a cold storage plant.

 The weather of the past week has done nothing to aid building in this city, and those contractors who had started work on new building or work of rernodeling others have been forced to give up the work for the time being. About the only type of building that Is going on at the present time is inte- .rier work, and there is little Of this at the time. Fire c hief Howard l.. Stan ton has not. issued a single building permit in the past seven days. and, local contractors have little or no new work on hand.
 Building in the city has been mostly confined to inside work and work on the Mabrey block on Broadway has gone ahead the bay window that for n1erly projected from the building be- ing torn down and a square window erected in it's place. The flooring on the inside of the building has been lowered, thus making additional floor space.
 Work. on the Pasnik block has pro- gressed rapidly and the connections between the two buildings will be completed in the near future.
 Contractor Sweeney has the plans for changes to be made in the base ment of the Greek church on Boswell avenue. The men are to tear out the partitions between the two. rooms making it into one large room to ac- commodate 80 children.

Breed Theatre

Checkers, the famous spectacular racing picture which opened at the Breed theatre yesterday is even bet ter as. picture than it was as stage play. Much of the action occurs out doors and in the picture the adyan- tage of this situation has been taken. The exterior scenes are not only ela- borate but perfect in detail. The mammoth production attracted pack ed houses yesterday and will be shown again today. Thomas J. Car rigan' who plays the title role, is an ideal Checkers and Jean .Acker as the heroine is charming. The rest of the all star cast is excellent and the pie ture is evenly balanced both in act ing and staging. A longer stay here would have been welcome, for it is a picture we'll worth q second visit. Other pictures on the bill include the Pathe News and William Parsons in A Wonderful Night. t.

 Mrs. Henry Brayman, 4SS East Main Street, says: For about year was 50 bad with backache, I couldn't get outo bed mornings without help. When I sat down it was the same way, I had to be helped up At times felt as though I was paralyzed from my hips down. My feet swelled so I had to take oil my shoes and it was next to impossible to get up or down stairs. I got so couldn't do a bit of house work, not even washing the dishes.

champlin Company. Made a tlit.

The Davis theatre was packed .al- most to standing room last night at the opening performance of the Chas. K. Champlin company, which is here for a weeks stand. The audience was well pleased and manifested its ap preciation at intervals all through the play, which was of exceeding inter est from first to last. It is an axiom of the show bust ness that the public wants something new and big all the time and that the manager who fulfills this. desire willreap a harvest of golden shekels. The truth of this saying was evil 4denced at the Davis theatre last night, when the Champlin company presented one of the best dramas ever seen iii Norwich That the au- dienee experienced something new and startling goes without saying. From the rise of the curtain on the first act until the very end of the play there was plenty to generate and maintain interest at a. high pitch Broken Threads was the name of the play that was offered and 1t was an artistic production. ins every way.

CONNECTICUT BUILDING
 AND BUSINESS

The clearings of the New. Haven banks for the past week in comparison with the corresponding week of last year., show a gain of PIP per cent. and those of Hartford for the same period 8 gain of 65.5 per cent.
 Petitions in bankruptcy or the week numbered three, with total assets of $18,762 and liabilities of $26, ,525. A year ago in the first week in February, two petitions were filed with assets of -$2,500 and liabilities of $3,727.
 The I2 new companies last week have. a total. authorized capital stock of $2,500, 900. over half of this amount being for the new housing corporal tion which was formed during the week in Hartford. A year ago in the cores bonding week there were 14 companies organized in this state, with total capital stock of $740,oo0.
 Sales of real estate for the week have been very brisk; in the cities of the State reported, in the Commercial Record, 543 sales were made by war ranty deed, as compared with 345 in the like, week of last year. Mortgages loans for the week amounted to $2,- 640,000 as compared with $991,7f3 in the first week Of February a year ago.
 Building permits were issued during CllESe We6K III the several OOHneCLlCuL towns and in Springfield, Mass, to the number of AS, as again 112 year ago and 24 in 1918. The cost. of the new construction work for the current week amounted to s515,546, the largest permits being for factory construction in Stamford and an apartment build ing in Hartford. A year ago the cost of new buildings amounted to s220,- s9e.
 While weather conditions during the past week have been such that little new work has been started, there is every, evidence that the coming spring will see a considerable amount of building started, especially factory construction and apartment house work. And in. Hartford, the forma- tion of a new housing assoication with a capital stock of $1,505.0O0 has just been completed, which means the erec- tion of about 1000 houses of the one and two family type in that city.

ditoriums for the meetings, which will be addressed by some of the ablest of the interchurch speakers. Between 25O' and 300 of the women of Connecticut, church and mission and women's organization leaders from all sections of the state; are to be in vited, and it is anticipated that tertained during their stay by the ladies of Hartford.
 Reports from the Washington con ference tell that it was one of the most significant national gatherings of women ever held in the country, and that there were presented as never before the facts of the present world situation, in their relation to the duty of the church. Others be- sides Mrs. Capon who attended from Connecticut were Mrs. Williston Wal ker of New Haven, head ot the wo- mems council of the Congregational Abby G. Willard of Colchester, of the eastern branch of the Women's Board of Missions.
 Answers to the invitations, sent to the 700 pastors of Connecticut prom ise an attendance of 800 at least. and Field Director Alling is working ear nestly to make it even greater. 4 t the least it bids fair to be the great est gathering of pastors of all de- nominations that Connecticut ever had. A notable program is in waiting for it. Among the speakers already promised are Dr. Daniel A. Polling of Boston, associate president of the Christian Endeavor movement and director of the laymen's activities de- partment of the interchurch world movement: and MT. and Mrs. George Sherwood Eddy. MT. Eddy is gen era1 secretary of the Y. M. c. A. in Asia, and Mrs. Eddy has been almost equally prominent in missionary eff fort.

AkaE in Shampoos :. Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared slampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsifed coccanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greasless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and 8 few ounces will last the whole family for months
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cieanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy. wavy, and easy to handle. Besides. it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff
