PHELPS WILL ,, GIVE ADDRESS
 ON OCT. 12
Principal Speakers To Be Dr. Cinqueragiana of Brown University.

The committee in charge of the ar rangem euts for the Dante celebration auditorium has announced that the Italian speaker for the occasion will be Dr. V. E. Cinquergrana of Brdwn University. The musical program lessor Procaccinio, who is not only remarkable musician but whose achievement is nothing short of mil raculous because of the fact that he is bind Bnd, man; n Prs PEofess0r William principal address in English.
 V. B. Cinquegrana, DID,, Ph.D., of Brown University, who is to speak at the Dante celebration at the High school auditorium Wednesday even ing, Oct. 12. is a thorough scholar and an eloquent speaker.
 He was educated in his native city Of Naples in the Urban Seminary and Theological academy. It was while professor and later received his hon. orary title of D. D. and Ph.D. Pro- lessor Cnquegrana Is also a graduate of the Royal University of Naples.
 For four years, 1906 to 1910, he was member of the faculty of lit- erary and philosophy in the Royal University.
 He was in Italy, a lecturer on edu- cational problems. Is a member of the Archaeological Academy of Naples and has been most useful in America in assisting in the education of Italian immigrants
 Prof. Procaccini, which is an attrac- tive feature of the Dante Celebration at the High School Auditorium, We'd nesday evening, Oct. 12, presents to Bridgeport a most interesting person. ality.
 The boy Procaceini was early recog- nized as a musical event among the musical Italian youth.
 nir1, was twenty-two he studied music in the Institute for the Blind, playing With equal facility upon an amazing number of musical instruments.
 For five years he was teacher of music In Naples, travelling from there to other Italian cities where the de- mand for instruction occupied every minute he was physically able to give to the task.
 Eight years ago Professor Procac- cini came to Bridgeport. He came not without difficulty for at Ellis Isle the sight of a blind man with anoth- CT language was evidence to the Im- migration officials that here was a man who would be a public charge. His Italian friends and acquaintances of this city were able, however, to prove to officials that if given the op- portunity he could render a distinct service to any community and his splendidly growing classes here in Bridgeport confirm his and their judgment.
 Prof. Procaccini has also assem- bled a splendid chamber orchestra which will be heard in both Italian and American selections at the Dante Celebration.
 The program which he will present is as follows:
 tSars and Stripes Forever-Sousa -Procaccinis Orchestra.
 National Hymn-Star Spangled Banner-Procaccinis Orchestra.

Noted Boy Star
 ''Discovered'' By Famous Comedian

Every star of tsage or screen must at some time or other, prior to their being a star, be discovered" And so it was in the case of Jackie Coo was "discovered' by Charlie Chaplin asleep. The little six-year-older arm chair which graced the lobby of a Los Angeles hotel. Chaplin was walking through the corridor. He saw the boy fast asleep. He walked nearer him. He expressed a desire upon hearing that Charlie Chaplin wanted to meet him, would be the es- sence of excitement and joy. Not so with Jackie coogan. Jackie was nous film stars meant little to him.
 Someone shook the youngster. Jackie rose, rubbing his eyes, shook hands with MT. Chaplin and prompt ly went back to sleep, dismissing all thoughts of the introduction from his mind. That was the first meeting of Chaplin and ''the kid,' as he is so we'll known. It would be very diffi- cult to describe the feeling of friend ship that now exists between Chap lin and Jackie Coogan. The little fellow has succeeded in burrowing -deeper probably than any person has or ever will.
 Prior to his work in t'The Kid" Jackie had never seen motion pie ture camera. Chaplin taught him all he knows. After completing "The Kid'' Jackie commenced work on ''Peck's Bad Boy.' In this pie ture. he also assumes the title role, which is said by those seeing the Peck film. to give the little chap ev- cry opportunity to display each and
 every one of his unique talents. A strong cast supporting Jackie includes Wheeler Oakman. Doris May. Ray mond Hatton. Lillian Leeflton, James Corrigan Charles Leighton. James Corrigan, Charles Hatto~ Baby Gloria Wood and others.
 The Peck picture is in fve-reel- feature-comedy length. Sam Wood directed the picture and Irwin S. Cobb has written the titles for same. It is filled with comedy situations throughout and at the same time a love story is beautifully told, via the efforts of Wheeler Oakman and dain- | ty Doris May.

Relief i'm April,
Diamond Cutters Saw

Optimistic views as to the future Of
the diamond cutting industry. despite
the inactivity which has been preva-
lent in the trade since November, have
been expressed by leading diamond
cutters. They are looking forward to
a general resumption Of business
around April and until that time, un-
less something unforeseen occurs, the
trade will be literally marking time
The diamond cutters believe that by
that month the stocks, which are large
IN comparison with the light buying
that is now being done but which
would be considered far too small for
the buying in normal times. will have
been depleted
1t is said that of the six hundred
diamond cutters hero but two hun
dred. or onc-third Of the ncrma labor,
is now employed. Reports from South
Africa stated that the diamond mines
are only employing men enough to
keep the mines from shutting down
The plan Of the diamond syndicate ia
reported to be to supply diamonds only
when demand for them arises. The
general depre ssion has also reached the
European diamond cutting industry,
where the number at work is far below
that of normal times
