REGISTRAR MIXUP
 PUZZLES VOTERS

Stratford, Oct. 9-Stratford voters today are awaiting the decision of Attorney General Frank Healy as to which set of registrars is legally en- titled to recognition.
 Some of the would d-be-voters have filed their applications electors with Dahnn and Ryan, the old regis trars, who were removed. Others have filed their applications with Hayward and Hale, the new regis trars. And now there is talk of call ing in police aid because certain lists in the office have mysteriously dis appeared.
 Tomorrow is the last day on which citizens desiring to be made voters may file applications and it has been suggested that intending voters who filed applications with Messrs. Dahlin and Ryan file them all over again with the new registrars. According to a statement issued today by the Peoples General Committee, the reg istrars recently ignored lists of per sons who had volunteered to serve at the polls without pay and hired help ars at a cost of $1,695.

MAN FOUND DEAD
 NEAR FAIRFIELD

While walking along Tunxis Hill road last evening, William Dependent stumbled over the prostrate body of a man, later identified as George Ather- ton of 21 Main street, Norwalk. He notified the Fairfield authorities and an ambulance was summoned, which rushed Atherton to St. Vincent's hos pital He died while enroute, medical aid having been administered too late
 It is thought probable that Atterton was struck by passing automobile which threw him to the ground in such a manner that he sustained fatal in Jur1es. At hrst foul play was expect ed, but this is secuted by the authori- ties and attending physicians who state that there is nothing to indicate such a conclusion.

In The Theatres


POTTS VAUDEVILLE THEATRE.
 Patrons of Polls vaudeville theatre yesterday were treated to one Of the best comedy pictures of the year in Elaine Hammerstein's latest SelZnick Picture, ''Why Announce Your Mar riage?'' which will remain as the pho toplay feature at Polls until and in cluding Wednesday. The story is one especially written for Miss Hammer stein by Lewis Allen Brown and Alan Crosland and the picture was directed by MT. CroSland.
 Why Announce Your Marriage ?" is a society comedy based upon the actual experiences of one of the coun- try's most famous woman writers. Readers of newspapers and magazines all remember the startling disclosures made some time back regarding the secret marriage of Fannie Hurst, whose wedding was kept secret for years before it finally became known to the public. This, of course, is not the story of Fannie Hurst's married life. but in all probability the experi- enceS of Miss Hurst inspired the story : and the enthusiastic manner in which yesterdays audience received the pie 1. ture is evidence of the fact that the theme is a popular one.
 With the above feature, the Pathe News, an Educational comedy, and , other numbers a vaudeville bill of class opens at Polls today, headed by and dancing idea carefully and artis- tica1ly worked out by Chief Oskomon, with Peggy Stewart, and a cast in cluding Elsie Guler Aileen Claire, and all directed by Ben. E. Young. The unusually heavily staged presentation is managed by George Addfngton.
 Others in a stellar bill are Ray w. Snow, 'fThe Man About Town" and beautiful Marine, who exhibits gowns that would make Kitty Gordon posi- lively jealous; the Jack Hughes Duo, and No11 the American tenor and pima nonna. always Bridgeport fla vorites; and Bud Snyder and Bluch an original comedy novelty, late sen sation at the New York HippodrOme
 EMPIRE.
 fThe New M,oon,' Norma Tal- madge's Selznick picture, in which Joseph M. Schenck presents this charming and versatile young star to- day at the Empire theatre is a story of Russia and the fight it's women are making for their freedom and their inherent right to live how and with whom they choose. The revolution ists try to force the women in the town to become "natura1ized''-that meaning that every woman between the ages of IS and 45 becomes the property of the state and must live with any man that desires her.
 Norma Talmadge as the Princess wh1o was forced to leave her castle when it was attacked by the anar- chists, and who assumes the disguise of peasant girl, leads the women to revolt and incites them to follow her example by refusing to register It is a thrilling, absorbing picture with 8 tremendous theme,
