MAY JOIN HARTFORD
 DRAMA LEAGUE ASSO.
Plans for Such Are Discussed at the Annual Meeting of the Anlphion
 Alumni Club-Othcr Notes

Mrs. A. c. Guilford, advisor of the Amphion Alumni association has been appointed by that organization to communicate with the secretary of the Hartford Drama league on the possi- bility of members of the local club joining the league.
 This matter was discussed at the annual meeting of the Amphion Alumni held at the Senior High school ast evening. It was thought by the
 arious members that enough people in New Britain could not be secured at the present time to organize a branch of the National Drama league in this city and therefore considered it was best to go to Hartford if that as- sociation will permit such member ship.
 The election of officers was post poned indefinitely until word is re- ceived from Hartford. The resigna- tion of Miss Lemoine Baker was act ed upon.
 A meeting of the program commit tee will be held at the home of Mrs. Guilford on West Pearl street next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Several plays will be discussed and a selec- tion will be made for presentation by the local amateurs.

MANY MARRIAGES
 TERMED ILLEGAL
Thousands Performed in Quebec
 Have No Standing in Law

Montreal Jan, 25,-(By Associated Press. )-Study of Quebec statutes has just brought to light that thousands of marriages have been illegally per- formed in this province during the last 100 years because of the nation ality of officiating clergymen. The legislature will be asked to pass leg islation legalizing them. An act pass ed in 1929 before the Canadian con- federation was formed and while Que bee was still the British colony of Lower Canada, provided that only clergymen who were British subjects could perform marriage ceremonies when in 1867 Quebec joined the other provinces to form the dominion, she retained her civil law intact.
 No civil marriages are performed in the province. Clergymen of var ious denominations record ceremonies in civil registers provided by the gov ernment Since 1929 many clergy men have come to Quebec from other countries, especially the United States to take charge of pastorates, and they officated at marriages without re- gard to lTelr TdllOHdlity. Al tne cuu of each year they turned in their books and were given new registers
 A Unitarian minister of this city, an American, recently went to the gov ernment office to get his 1922 regis ter, and was informed that, because of his foreign citizenship, he could not legally perform marriages in the province. The question raised by a studious clergy clerk was taken up by officials and it was then disclosed that the ancient law still was in force.
 Besides Americans. many Catholic priests of French citizenship have been officiating at marriage cere- monies Officials estimated thousands of irregular marriages had been performed since 1929.
 According to an opinion rendered by the attorney generals department, the only way to regularize the situ- ation is to introduce in the legislature a bill declaring that, notwithstanding the act of 1929, all marriages per- formed since that time by clergymen of recognized standing were to be considered legal.
