Seats Are Assigned.
The machinery for the convention
got under way today when assign
ments were made for seats. The Con-
necticut delegates will have the first
two rows right in front of the
speakers dais.
Because of the large number Of con-
tests to be heard, IT is predicted that
a great deal Of bitter feeling will be
aroused before the convention meets.
One Of the things that is counted on
tc start the fire works is the fact that
the national committee has given
Lowden the edge of labelling the Low
den faction as officially reported and
calling the Wood delegation the con-
testing group.
The Wood supporters are getting
their ammunition ready, however, and
are prepared to fight it out to finish
in the committee rooms.

CARRICK PLAYERS TO
OPEN SEASON MAY 2

l.. Monta Bell, under whose guild
ance the Garrick Players finished
their first stock season at the Shu
bert Garrick Theater last fall, an
nounces the second season of the
popular summer stock plays at the
same play house. to begin Sunday
May 3.
Last summers stock season ran
seventeen weeks. but the plans for
the coming summer call for a twenty
week season. as a result of the great
popular interest and support accorded
the local players last year. The cast
is rapidly being assembled now. and
1t Is announced that. several Of the
most popular players of the last sum
mers company will again be seen
this year. The leading man will be
announced in a week or So and while
nothing definite has. yet been given
out, IL can be safely stated that the
announcement will delight all of last
years Garrick Player fans.
1t Is interesting to note that the
Shqbert-Garrick Theater. which had
hardly been success until IT was
placed under the ma nagement of Jack
Edwards. the present manager. will
have been open for seventy consecu-
tive weeks when the Garrick Players
begin their season at the beginning
or May. 1t Is a more glowing tribute
to Mr.. Edwards managerial ability
and apparently unlimited enthusiasm
than any words could convey.
