Josh Billings once remarked. Re member the postage stamp, my son, it's usefulness consists in it's ability to stick to one thing until it gets there" Rosa Ponselle, star of the Metropol- itan Opera Company, whose appear ance here at the Fox theater under the auspices of the New Britain Mu- sical club, Dec. 10, is the subject of much comment in the local musical circles, is a firm believer in the humorous advice of the quaint Mir Billings. T started singing. so my mother tells me. before I could lisp a word," says Miss Ponselle, ''and as grew older my determination to be a professional singer became sec ond nature to me. I never gave any other walk in life second considera- ton. But l want to confess that grand opera and prima donna roles were not in the forefront of my thoughts. They were there, of course, but in a nebulous, hay sort of way like far off fog bank at sea-there, but intangible, unreal.

A local theatrical man, q former private secretary to Al Jolson. one of the worlds greatest comedians, for an entire season during his appear ancc in "Sinbad" said to be his great est production, gives few glimpses into the life of this great stage per- sonalty. .
 As far back as can be remem bercd Al Jolson has never made stage ap- pearance in New Britain although he is known to hundreds of local people who have seen him in various produc- tions in which he has played at the Parsons theater in Hartford, the Shu- bert in New Haven or in New York.
 He is the son of Jewish rabbi and has one other brother, Harry. who Is also an actor but Is confining his tal- ents to the vaudeville stage The cor rect names of the two brothers is AL bert and Harry Yoelson.
 Jolson always had a desire to go played in Washington. D. C.. his home town, many years ago by mere luck he was asked by the manager of the troupe to take the part of a street urchin. This he did and from that day on the theater 'bug" was imbed- ded in his mind. When the show closed he ran away from home and joined circus touring with this for more than one season. While with the circus he worked as waterboy and did all sorts of odd jobs.
 Later he decided to go into vaude- vile and it was while playing in this branch of the theater game that he was discovered by one of the Shubert brothers who offered him position in one of their Winter Garden pro auctions. This he accepted and in 1912 was starred in his first piece with Gaby Deslys, famous French actress. The play was called The Honeymoon Express" This was dur ing the 1912 and 1913 theatrical tsa- son. Since that time his three gNeat- est successes have been Robinson Crusoe," "Sinbad'' and "Bombo," in which he is playing in Chicago at the present time. He appeared in "Sinbad" for three full seasons dur ing that time making two appear ances in Hartford.
 While the local man was acting private secretary to Jolson, the show played in New York, Boston, Phila- delphia, Washington and Atlantic City During the engagement at Philadelphia, the local man recalled an incident yesterday which is quite amusing.
 Jolson, who off stage is of a quiet nature, does not like cheap publicity nor does he like to have people on the street staring at him. In order to effect a disguise in Philadelphia he told the local man that he was going to act the part of deaf and dumb mute and go into a store to pur- chase pair of. spectacles. The local man was to act as interpreter.
 Jolson tried on several pair of glasses and each time nodded his head that they were not just what he wanted. After seven or eight, diff ferent attempts he was given pair

Not until the spring of 1918 did l begin to think of some day stand- ing in the limeiight on the Metropol- itan stage. It was during a vaude- vile engagement with my sister Car mela at the Riverside theater in New York that my teacher first heard me and induced me to give up all my en- agreements and place myself under his direction with operatic honors in view. Even then, that great pile of brick and stone down on Broadway was like an image obtained by look ing through the wrong end of a tele- scope. But, encouraged by the faith of my teacher, buckled down to work in dead earnest and made life miserable for my instructor. was there at his studio early and late de- manding additional tasks and in a few months had accomplished what it had taken other years to do.

Next week is Carnival of Happi- ness Week. at Fox's theater and in connection with the vaudeville pro- gram and accompanying specialties and novelties, two pictures of unusual merit will be shown.

 Her left arm reached slowly around the sheik's neck, her lips pressed slowly against his; a slow smile of victory spread over his face. Cigar ette's right hand reached for the dag ger at his waist, quick blow and the tearing, clawing Cigarette had her re- venge and proved herself a true sol dier of France. This is but one of the big scenes in the powerful cinema version of Under Two Flags which originally starred Blanche Bates. Cigarette, the daughter of the reg1- ment was no dainty girl of respecta- bility and she possessed the passion ate, selfish, jealous nature that wom- an nurtured in the lap of fate might be expected to have.
 Rags to Riches, adapted from Charles A. Tayfors celebrated stage play, centers about young Marina duke Clarke, a wealthy little child, who frets under the artificial formal ity of his home and yearns for real action. He gets his chance upon dis- covering a burglar in his home ana offers to show where the wealth IS kept in return for being allowed to join the gang. Marmaduke pursues the burglar and becomes his pal. The two roam the country, shadowed py q gang of lsidnappers who wish to capture the child in hopes of obtain ing rich reward. How the lad helps corral the crooks makes for climax which is exciting and refreshing.
 Harold Lloyd's first five reel com edy. "Grandma's Boy" will be brought to Fox's theater for an early showing This is something new in Lloyd com cdy and he appears in the comic roie cf a,fraid cat boy who is his grandmother's pet.
