 Another innu,at oti will :.e n worthy orchestra in each of the diff ferent cities to appear at each con- cert. These Grche s,ras will be under the direct supervision of my general musical director. am going to make an earnest endeavor to or ganize in each of the different cities an orchestra that will really be a part of our regular organization.
 ''Owinr to the derlorable fact t..a, New Britain has no suitable place for the presentation of such con certs during the week, outside of one of our regular theaters, which necessarily, would have to be rented at almost a prohibitive price, we will for the time being be compelled to confine our efforts, as far as this city is concerned, to Sunday after moons. which we are able to do. thanks to a recent law, with legal sanction.
 Our purpose is to give these concerts and make them so attrac- tive and interesting and at such popular prices that they will appeal to and be within the reach of all classes. There is a sufficient guar antee fund behind the propect that from a financial standpoint we have nothing to worry Us.
 ''I have been working on this en- terprise for the last two months and our plans are about in stage of perfection and in a very short time will be able to announce our com plete program of artists and the dates of their appearance in each of the different cities.
 We are going to give New Bri- tain and the other cities the best that unlimited capital and energy will be able to secure and we feel that we will be amply rewa rded."

cial and social interests. His plan. as suggested was to give several concerts during the season and of- fered me a guarantee against any loss. By bringing itit. artists when I wanted to engage I could see no possible chance of any financial slc- cess owing to the large salary they would ask for just single concert. and out of his suggestion grew my idea of a circuit of cities in this part of New England. In this cir cult am including New Britain, Hartford, Springfield, Waterbury, Meriden, New Haven and Bridgeport I have found that by offering an artist or an organization. a contract for seven consecutive appearances I can engage them for just about one half of the amount I would be com pelled to pay them for single con certs. One artist. known all over the world, and with whom I am at the present time negotiating. usually receives twenty-five hundred dollars a. concert and when I offered his manager a contract for seven con- secutive appearances the price of twenty-five hundred was cut just half for each appearance.
 "Tt is our intention to give in all eighty four concerts in New Eng land during the coming season, that is twelve in each city included in our circuit. Our Headquarters are to be here in New Britain. We pro- pose to open offices here and here will also be the headquarters of my general manager. publicity depart ment. stage mechanicians, property men and my general musical di- rector.

Public Invited to Inspect Work Done at Trade School Building on
 Bassett Street

The State Trade school on Bassett street is to run an open night on Thursday, April 21, 1921 at which time the entire school will be in operation permitting the public to observe the functioning of this institution. The school has grown by leaps and bounds nnil at the present time its capacity is SO greatly overtaxed that admit arce must be refused to future appli- cants or else additional quarters be provided. Not only are the present departments greatly oyer crowded but the demand for additional depart ments is such that 1t ia hoped in the immediate future to open departments offering instruction in automobile re- pairs, masonary. carpentry. plumbing and metal pattern work.
 While the school is open for public inspection at all times. the open night is intended to afford an opportunity for people who are busy during the the day to visit the school and see it in normal operation.

Once upon a time there lived in a
forest ar old Witch who was very
fond of gold. but as she did not pos
sess the power OF changing things
sntsa metal she had no way Of getting
tho wealth she loved so much.
In a castle on one side Of the forest
lived a very rich Prince. The vaults
under the castle were filled with gold,
and this the old witch longed 10 have
for her own.
Of course. like all witches she had
the power 70 change people into ami
mails or animals into people, and with
tins power the old Witch determine ed
10 get the gosd In the castle OF the
Prince.
Lake all witches she also had a black
cat, and one day when she knew the
Prince was to come into the forest 10
hunt she called the black cat 70 her
and changed her into a beautiful
young girl.
The Witch looked az the girl. and

that even a Prince would be sure t.

her stick with one hand while she
waved the other in front of the girl
as she cast her spell over her. You
shall live at the castle and get me the
keys to the vaults where the Prince
keeps his gold"
But there was another to be reck-
oned with. and about this one the old
Witch did not know, and this was the
lovely Princess Reta, with whom the
Prince was in love.
When the Prince came to the foreeJ
TO hunt he saw the beautiful witch
girl sitting by the door of the cave,
and while he felt the spell of her en-
chanted beauty he could not get the
love for the Princess Reta from his
heart.
Every day ne came back to the
forest 10 see the witch girl. but still
he did not ask her TO marry him and
live at the castle.
something must be the matter, so she
set her magic kettle to boiling one
night at the magic hour of IL TO learn
what was holding The Prince from
falling a victim TO her wicked spell.
When the steam came UP from the
boiling pot the old Witch began TO
chant.
BY boiling pot and magic steam
Let me see as in a dream.
Why the Prince / cannot will

Slowly the steam rising from the
pot changed into the face Of the lovely
Princess Reta.
SO you, my pretty, stand in the
way" said the old Witch. as the face
faded away and the steam rolled n,
from the pot again. We shall see.
we shall see who win win him. n,-

II was too late then to begin her
work, so the old Witch and her black
cat. which she changed back to its
own shape every night, danced
