Coming 10 Majestic

Something different for the pat
rons of the Majestic theatre Mon
day. Rose Sydelrs Famous london
Bellies this season.; a class of enter
tainment that is welcomed by the
burlesque patrons. a production
that is a pleasing variety of the
genius musical show, and a real plot
in which there is not a dun mo-
ment throughout, nor is there a line
or situation which could possibly
bring objection from the most po-
dantic of morality purists.
The London Bellies this season is
headed by Joe Marks the speediest
comedian in burlesque and his asso-
ciates are well known in both bur-
iesque and musical comedy, com
prising George Hart, Freed Reese,
Mildred Campbell, Dolly Davis, Mae
Leonard, Rose Sydell, Jr., and the
Romas Troupe.
The book for the London Bellies
this season starts with a prologue,
which takes place in a New York
city theatrical authors office, and
afterwards the action of the en-
tertainment contains two sets and
over half a dozen scenes which car
ny you from swell S~anitarium in
New York state to a cafe in Paris,
and finally releases you in a big out
door carnival .
OF course it's some distance to
travel, even if accomplished by an
aeroplane but as you proceed there
is plenty of comedy, many fascinat-
ing and daring costumes, and lots
of music which is full of peppery
melodies and a variety of dancing
that is rendered by the Sydell Mag
netic Chorus, who by their pictorial
appearance brand Rose Sydell's Fa-
nous London Bellies, "Burlesque
Beautiful"

NO ARRESTS IN ROBBERY
OF KEYPORT SHOE STORE


KEYPORT, Sept. 30:-No arrests
have been made in connection with
the robbery at Hauser 81 T~hornton's
shoe store committed this week,
when about ter or twelve pairs of
shoes were taken from the stock.
That the thief was familiar with the
inside of the store was proved by
the fact that he gained entrance
through a back window, and boring
a hole directly under the inside lock
was able to open the door. He also
matched a shoe which was in a box
with one in a window.
As officer George NJ. Mason and
Watchman Isaac N. Johnston were
passing the store they noticed the
lights were out but in throwing a
light from their flashes into the
store they noticed nothing out of
place but two or three empty boxes
lying on the floor which they
thought had been left there in clos
ing.

Coming 10 Ditmas

The theatre i'm which the fire and
panic occurs in ID. w. Grihth's
newest picture Dream Street TO
be shown at the Ditmas theatre, is
an exact replica of n of the most
famous of old London music halls.
To make the reproduction faith
full. Mr.. Griffith sent TO England for
FRANC Timpson. an elderly theatre
cal manager who had been associat-
ed with music halls for many years
in earlier life.
The quaint old boxes the narrow
seats. the antique stage lights, and
other details hat made the music
halls so distinctly in London, are
all present. In these theatres, no
enc removed his hat and few their
pipes or cigars.
1t was in one of these theatres
that Harry Lauder first appeared,
and many of the greatest artists af
the stage had their beginning there.

THE OBSERVER
 MAKES RANDOM OBSERVATIONS THE CITY AND ITS PEOPLE.
RANDOM O3SERVATIO
= ON

Efforts to restrict public liberties on Sunday have taken we'll defined form in the legislature. Principal among these is a bill to close motion picture theaters on Sundays The blue law" drive in Connecticut is merely an offshoot of similar move ments in other states, notably our neighbor. New York, and the whole can probably be classified as reaction from the period of personal freedom during the war.
 As long as the world lasts, we shall most likely be annoyed by that specie of human being who likes to thrust out his chest and let the world know that he is a reformer. Many of them are well meaning; others seek the limelight. The matter can be disposed of easily. Give them 8 little publicity which they can be counted upon to disappear until a new appetite for notoriety attacks them. The con- scientious reformer does not deserve harsh treatment. He needs education He should be told that mild amuse- ment even on Sunday does not un- dermine public mora1T and that this form of amusement .-leetS with pop ular response.

Satan's kingdom to attend an exhibi- tion of the Passion Play?" If it IS proper to watch the Passion Play on the screen why is 1t improper to watch any other picture in which a clean story is told? To say that one is proper and another Is not proper is to set up a fictitious standard. There are thousands of people who do not believe in Chirst and. while re- specting beliefs of their Christian neighbors, have been educated in other creeds. To these the Passion Play must seem to be nothing more than a story. It would not stir them, as it stirs Christians. Restricting the ''movies'' to plays of this kind would ! neither improve their. morals nor have the opposite effect.
 So far as New Britain is concerned, motion pictures on Sunday have stood the test. This is demonstrated by the throngs that attended performances on Sunday evenings, throngs which are well behaved and seem to have re- spect for the day. No doubt, this is likewise the case in other cities. Well regulated entertainme on Sunday have won popular approval and if the ! legislatures want to learn the opinon of people living in cities they should be brought to a thriving community like New Britain. for example, and see for themselves that we are in no

"JEST RTNnNATIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

Enthusiasm is a thing that sometimes dies with Youth: enthusiasm sometimes falls be- fore discovered Truth. When hfe's most sOrdid features rise to disillusionize it's often that the sight will blind enthusi- asm's eyes. An then it's apt to latent lie until. perhaps again, enthusiasm finds that life is not all woe an pain. It rises up, revitalized: it wants to play its part in bringin' light to some worn eyes-to brighten some sad heart. It wants to put its dash an pep to work in every man: 1t wants to take 'em from their ruts an put 'em in the van. So when we see the symptoms of enthusiasm near, we ought to get ahold O it by foot or hand or ear It mat ters not how we embrace this thing that brings new vim, the point is we should welcome an should ne'er let go O him. Give that enthusiasm work; don't let it e'er get ill, an as the years pass over us let's keep him workin' still. Whate'er we do, says my of pipe, is sure worth doin' well-an' we can do it better meath enthusiasm's spell.

APPRECIATION.

There appeared in yesterdays news tho story of town in Massachusetts which is considering the making of an appropriation to induce n doctor to settle there. Wanted: one Doc tor" seemed to be an amusing head line. Rather is it tragic. Moreover 1t tells story little realized by many.
 Many towns have too many doc tors. too many lawyers. The com plaint Is seldom made that it has too many stores. for all people want greater fields from which they may select what they would buy. But the too great prevalence in a town of doctors and lawyers often seems to distress the criticizer of town affairs. Just why this is so 1t is hard to de- tcrmine.
 But the fact that this town in Mass achusetts may offer inducements that will bring a physician to it, shows the real importance of the physician and the real need of one that is often forgotten.
 Physicians are respected. and so are reputable lawyers. But the amount of respect rightfully due them-doc- tors especially-is seldom theirs. Not until we find that there is great lack of them. such as existed at the time of the war. do we realize the feeling of comfort they bring to us. to say nothing of the great work they do every day of their lives.
 Doctors have come to be taken for granted. one never questions their honesty Of purpose. their desire to work to help us in sickness. their eagerness to study up on our cases and to find the best remedy for our ailment. One seldom questions the value of the goods they have to sell their ability to properly diagnose our case. We may doubt their wis dom. sometimes. and say he is not a good doctor" but we doubt their honesty practically never. And we would rather have that mot good doc tor attend us than none at all
 Lawyers honesty is sometimes laughingly questioned. There are more jokes about them than about the doctors. But nevertheless the lawyer is able and does straighren out many of our difficulties and often gives us that free mind which aids the physician's' prescription to work on a body made more susceptible to treatment because of the calm mind the lawyer has been able to produce It Is well to appreciate what we have in abundance. and not wait until we feel the helplessness of our po- sition because of lack of persons and things to which we have been accustomed.
