NEW BRITAIN LOSES
 BURLESQUE SHOWS
Attractions to Have Played Here Booked Into PaWtucket, R. l.

New Britain, Bristol and Water bury have lost their franchises on the Mutual Burlesque Association cir cult for the showing of burlesque sh ows in these cities to Pawtucket, R. l., where the shows will play full week engagement instead of splitting the week in the three cities mentioned above.
 This decision was reached by the directors of the Mutual Rurlesque Association at meeting held the last week in September in New York. Because of the loss of the three Con- necticut cities the circuit is having a general encouragement of routings.
 Although it has not been officially stated, it has been learned that plans

 No specific reason is given by the burlesque association for the drop ping of New Britain. Waterbury and Bristol from the circuit but it is be- lieved by those interested in local theatricals that satisfactory arrange ments could not be arranged with the theater owners.

Genoa.-Optimism was etill pro.
fessed Tuesday night by Premier Lloyd
George. The little Wslchman was eth

longer have the heart to smile.
"Many difficulties worse than this
have been passed and We shall pass
this one." said Mr.. Lloyd George 70
the correspondents after a frantic day,
In which he conferred with nearly oil
the leading figures at the conference.
I'VE have come to Genoa to overcome
such differences; otherwise why have
the conference"
Genoa echoed with all sorts Of RI.
mors about the breaking MP Of the en-
tente and the imminent dissolution Of
the economic conference. The French
and Relgians stand firm in their on
position to the property clause Of the
memorandum to the Russians and in
sist that failure Of the Russians to ac-
cept the memorandum will mark the
end Of the conference.
The Russian delegates. after con.
ferring with Premier Lloyd George,
issued statement denouncing the
French and Belgians for the attempt to
break up the conference and calling
attention to the fact that these two
countries are trying to make It APP
pear that everything hinges on the
Russian reply while they themselves
have not Endorsed the very document
they are discussing.
Both Mr.. Lloyd George and the
French delegation denied reports in
the British papers that the interview
between the British prime minister and
the French foreign minister was
stormy one and terminated with the
declaration by Mr.. Lloyd George that
this disagreement meant the end Of
the, entente.
The Russians attack on the Belgian
position created much discussion
among both the French and Belgian
delegates. but apparently they will not
reply.
