They marched to the square playing Hail, Hail. the Gangs All Here They had just driven from Danielson, where they had given a concert.
 Their presence in the city was ac- counted for by the man with the megaphone. who explained that the band was touring this end of the coun- ty to advertise the Willimantic Lodge of Elks' carnival to be held shortly.

DAVIS GETS AWAY,
 BUT NOT UNAIDED
Police Look For Person Who Unlocked Cell Room Door
 Sunday
Capt. Delage Believes He knows Who Helped "Gramp" to Escape

Earle Davis. known best Co his friends as "Gramp.' did not escape uuassisted from the Putnam police station early Sunday evening. as re ported This statement is made by Captain of Police Delage himself. and he declares that he Is practically eer- tain of the man who allowed Davis to get away. And if the captain is able to prove what he confidently believes. then a certain man will find himself in the tolls of the law
 Davis was arrested Saturday night. while very much intoxicated. and was taken to the station. The next morn ing he had sobered of and when in such state he Is regarded as a .gooe feller" So he was allowed the free dom of the cell room. doors at both ends being locked tight
 Escapes to Parts Unknown
 t was reported Monday that Gramp had ripped a piece ef sheet iron from the wall of the cell room. had erawled through the hole he thus made. drop ped into the repair room of the Put nam water department. and from then on easily made his way to the street. and to parts unknown.
 Investigation. however. shows that a mass of cobwebs covering the pipes and hanging from the sheet iron that was supposed to have been removed bit. allowing Gramp to escape, are still where the spiders spun them If Gramp had erawled through the hole. he could not possibly have done so without brushing the eobwebs aNay
 Capt Delage Suspects Aeeompliee
 Good and sufficient reasons satisfy Capt. Delage that a certain someone knew where a duplicate set of keys to the cell room doors were hung How that someone came to find this out is quite a mystery. However, this someone entered the station, the captain states, took the keys, opened the doors and allowed Gramp 10 make his getaway.
 Had Davis been arraigned in court Monday morning, as scheduled, he would have made his l7th appearance. Drunkenness was the cause of each of his arrests. Only recently he was put on probation in the custody of his employer, J. B. Tatem. Jr. Doubtless Gramp felt that a stiff jail sentence awaited him Monday. so took advan- tage of his opportunity to skip-and skip he did.

 To Operate Both Theatre.
 Both movie houses will be operated on Che same schedule as was operative before the advent of the 'short week" plan placed in effect at the beginning of the summer. The Bradley will open up Monday next and will give entertainments twice a day at the us- ual hours and at regular prices The Victory will continue operating on the three day a week schedule until Sept II. when the full weeks pro- gram will be placed in effect The Victory would open up Monday. the same as the Bradley. were 1t not for the fact that the management wants to wait until after the American Le- zion fair is over and the Chautauqua has come and gone. before throwing the doors of the Victory open for the full week. There will be no eurtail ment of schedules in the theatres, through the forming of the eombina- tion-both will be operated at the same time. seven days a week.
 Promise Better Programs
 Joining their interests will. in fact, serve to give Putnam better moving pictures-not that wretehed ones have been screened here in fact-for any thing but this has been the case. But when Jake and Hyde were operating In competition with each other, they were forced into unsatisfactory. situa- tions by the distributors of moving pictures For instance. tO obtain big features. they had to pay abnormaliy high rentals and at the same time to take pictures of lesser interest, along with the features There was no way of "ducking" the latter. for the dis tributors knew what the local situa- tion was like and made hay while the sun shone."
 Under the present situation. Man ager Albert will be able to pick his pictures, with no strings tied to them. He will be able to select a big feature without being compelled to take lot of stuff that he knows would not meet the approval of his patrons Control ling the only two theatres in the city, as Hyde and Jake do now, jointly, they have "big stick" that will re- suit in their being able to maintain a high standard of movie entertain. ments for Putnam--to pick what they want and leave what they know bg their experience with local audiences, what people do not want.
 No Advance In Prices"
 A particular friend of Hyde and Jake asked the latter, Well, l suppose you control the situation, l suppose we. the common people. will have te pay more to see the better pictures you are going to give us in the flu. ture.s Zowie. Jake almost flew of the handle, but when he saw that his friend was only joking, he cooled down instantly He emphatieally af firmed: We are going Co give Put nam and vicinity the highest class pic. lures that are released by the biggest producers in the United States.

OVER l50 BENEFIT
 BY DOCTORS SKILL
Dr.. Harry Foster Concludes An nual Public Clinic at Local
 Hospital

Through bringing his great skill and professional eminence to his home town and giving them with willing heart for the benefit of all who cared to take advantage of them. Dr. Harry Foster of New York City. has contri- buted in the past week. in the i50 odd operations for adeHoids and tonsils he performed at the Day Kimball. a distinctive benefit to humankind, the full blessing of which will only be re- corded by the passing of time.
 Most of his patients were children and they came from homes in many places in Windham County. The spe- eialist performed his last operation Tuesday and thus concluded a public clinic lasting more than a week. He is now enjoying his well earned rest at his summer home on Putnam Heights.
 The clinic has caused q great deal of extra work at the hospital. and even though extra nurses were re tained for the occasion. the task has been heavy and hurdensome. But Miss Bloxham. superintendent, and the nurses she assigned to clinic duty, went about their labors with a will and did an exaetiug job 90 well that they all deserve the commendation heaped on their shoulders
