 "A Connecticut Yaneke' was pre- sented here last Spring, through courtesy of MT. Fox. at a meeting of the Rotary Club. It registered an in stantaneous and tremendous hit. Since then. Rotarians have repeatedly inquired if the production were to be given a public showing here. The answer came last night in the an nouncement of the Fox office that the production will open here on Monday.
 The production has an especial ap- peal to Bridgeport, because of Bridge ports close relations to Twain, who lived at Bedding.
 "A Connecticut Yankee" in it's film form is regarded as the greatest of high class screen comedies. MT. Fox has arranged for a most adequate pre- sentation of the production.

This gives a clean looking edge again and Keeps up that freshly manicured ap- pearance which every woman finds so desirable. It will also keep the nails rom growing too rapidly
 In addition to this every couple of days You will have to clip the sides Of the nail where the nail and the manicure scissors. You cannoh file to the very edge of the nail There is always a little place there where hang hals are apt to grow which must be cut with scissors.
 It takes longer to read about these directions than to carry them out. It will mot take much of your time to shape the nails every day. In addi- ton to this you should rub some plain cold cream or better yet c1Iticle cream, into the nails. Let it stay on a feW moments, then push back she skin with an orangewood stick. Then polish, and you will always have nice looking nails.
