BED ROOM FARCE

Cormican Players at Parsons in
 BelaSCO'S Success
(By Herald Reviewer.)

Typical of past Cormican successes, the opening of the summer stock sea- son at Parsons theater. Hartford. last evening. when the James Cornican Players presented "Parlor. Bedroom and Bath" to a house packed with first -nighters was huge success. Everything auEurs well for a most successful season for the company. if commendatory remarks by those who witnessed the first production can he used as a measure. IL was noticeable that n good percenta Se of the attend ance was New Britainites who, pre- sumably. had taken the opportunity to again greet James Cormican the popular leader of New Britain's Sum mer Stock comp pany last year. An oshel local favorite who appeared. although her role was a rather small one was Mrs. Nina Gleason, as Mary, maid in the house Of Angelica Irving.
 Perhaps no feature of the produc- ton was better received than the work of Edith Campbell Walker. as Polly Hathaway, known as the Tat Ter" on the staff of the Social News" Much of the humor, and there was an abundance of it. was contained in her lines. Lynn Pratt as Jeffrey Hay wood. William Williams as Fred erick Leslie. and Ruth Hammond as Angelica Irving. made n favorable impression upon the audience.
 The play presents q number of per picking situations for a young mar ried man with a temperamental wife; nm irate husband of the young wife's girl friend: an embarrassing misun- dcrstanding that results in the es- arrangement of both couples. all nf which is righted by the appearance and action of the correspondent of shs social News.

The art OF getting hit by pitched
balls has fallen into diSuse largely.
McGraw was really the last exponent
OF that style OF play, and for years MS
players reached first base oftener by
being hit than any other men in the big
leagues. Usually they took the ball on
shoulder or hip while pretending TO
dodge. although opponents claimed that

In the olden days getting hit was
quite an art 1t was that skill as dis
played by Red Jim Calvin and Curt

usually struck the top of his shoulder
and then glanced off his head. and his

by pitched balls.

to let Rusie hit him and he refused TO
