TO BUILD GYMNASIUM
Hall Memorial Fund Committee Plans Structure For Woodstoek
 Academy

The committee for the Hall Me morial Fund of Woodstock, is mak- ing preparations for it's annual sale al Woodstock Fair and now that Woodstoek's dream of a library seems certain of fulfillment, the fund can be wholly directed to the building of a much-needed gym nasium for the Academy. Some members of the committee are even ambitious enough te hope that ground can be broken for the gym nasium at the same time that the construction of the library is be. gun, in the near future.
 Hence they are sparing no effort to realize a tidy sum from their sale of home-eanned goods, home cookery, vegetables and fruit and other articles at the fair, and will be glad to have the support of everyone in the way of contribu- tions of these articles. The booth will be one of the attractions of the exhibition hall, and will be well worth visiting.

Good Morning Dearie

As good a road company as any city of ten thousand people has right 10 expect to visit it, presented the Dil- lingham musical comedy success of two seasons ago, Good Morning. Dearie." at the Bradley Theatre on Wednesday evening. As the initial number of the program of plays with which the S.A Amusement Company promise Co vary the eternal monotony Of the movies. Good Morning. Dear ie" was an excellent choice. hugely en- ioyed by an audience of comfortable size. like all local audiences. charv of it's applause or appreciation of the ef- forts on the stage.
 Coed Morning. Dearie," originally Globe Theatre, New York, attraction in it's first year enjoyed the services of a number of high priced artists, in- cluding Louise Groody. Oscar Shaw and Ada Lewis. But nll the theatrical talent of tine world is not playing on Broadway. or cutting up didoes Tn Hollywood. In Wednesday evening s performance there were several actors quite as capable of giving pleasure and amusement as their more successful predecessors. For instance, to one who saw the original production. ko land Hogue. in the leading male role, was preferable to Oscar Shaw, and while the same could not be said of Miss Virginia Watson in comparison with Miss Groody, Miss Watson's per- formance had plenty of charm, and she danced gracefully and worked like trooper. Lou Powers was immensely funny in the chief comedy role, and Edward Allen was an agile successor to Hariand Dixon. Moreover, if one had not seen the incomparabie Ada Lewis as Madame Bompard, there would have been little complaint of Mary Diehl's handling of the part of the c0urtouriere proficient in French with an Eln3ira accent.
 On the whole, Good Morning, Dearie,. with a seasons run in New York. was a alarmed good show and wasn't too tad in Putnam. The songs, not so worn out as to be boreAome, were well sung, the dances, for all the limitations of the Bradley stage, were spirited and good to sec. Any com plaints that might be hurled in it's di- rcction might be thrown at the ladies of the chorus and the gentlemen of the ensemble But every road show can't have a Ziegfeld gallery of beauty, and as for the gentlemen of the ensemble. at least there were only three of them.

 Develops Delirium Tremens

Putnam police will not soon forget Alex Migle of East Webster. or the experience they had with him Tues day, starting from about o'clock in the morning until late in the after noon. when he was taken to the State Insane Hospital at Norwich.
 Alex, thoroughly intoxicated, ap- peared at the corner of Main and Front streets shortly after midnight Monday night. That the liquor he had been drinking for several days had af fected his brain. is shown by his de- liberately smashing a big plate glass window at the Front street entrance to the Bugbee & Wulf store. He kicked a hole in the pane and reaching through the opening grasped a wall clothes drier. Smashing this up and grasping parts of it in both hands, he confronted the world in general with an unmistakable belligerent attitude.
 Alex Armed and Ready
 It was in this frame of mind and so armed, that the police found him, when they hastened over from the sta ton following a telephone call. Cap tain Jarvis was first out of the car and rushed al the demented man. He swung at the captain with the stick, succeeding in landing q glaneing blow on the captains head.
