times when We players face a bad
 house or one that is cold and unfe,
 sponsiye or even rude there Is an
 almost irresistible temptation 10 "le,
 down" and become careless in our work.
 After the Lyeeum was opened-in 1898 l think it was-the Opera House was delivered over to burlesaue shows. but this highly entertaining form Of amusement has also. at least SO far as New Britain is concerned. passed on.
 Travelling Stock Companies.
 And likewise the travelling stock companies. James R. Waite and corse Peytonl The resident stock company. as we know 1t today. was unheard Of then. but the travelling companies would appear three or four times each season. and for week or even two weeks. would give us a different play each night.
 And then Of course the Lyceum holds memories that have to do with things other than strictly profess sional performances. "Parada," and "The Brownies which were given for this or that charity. It was lot of fun. and yet to this day I cannot un- derstand why the women who were in charge didn't all go mad in their efforts to make all ns kids behave.
 Political Meetings.
 And the political meetings at the Lyceum! They amounted to some- thing. or at least I thought they did. | a political speech leaves | me with a ''what-of-it" or an ''is- | that-so" sort of feeling, but 25 years ago it was all matter of life and | ieath. Mclean. Sloper. Chamber ain, Lilly, Vance, Hadley of Yale Ill these and many others used to speak from the Lyceum stage. I re- one meeting in particular. t was just after Mckinley had died am inclined to think that it was he day of his funeral. I don't know ust who were on the stage, but I that Robert J. Vance was here and spoke, and to me-if may lse theatrical expression-he was .lways the headliner. MT. Vance was Ieither flowery nor graceful rator, but he was a master parlia- nentarian, and he always had a mes- age which he delivered straight from he shoulder in words that even a hild could understand.
 I have rambled on to far greater engths than I intended and what I ave put down seems rather diffuse nd disconnected. And in spite of ne fact that you asked me to say about my boyhood days in CIV Britain I feel that I have said luch-too much-about myself. If
 have done anything either as an ,tor or with my pen that is worth ,cording I think it is more becom- g that somebody else should speak it. It is proper, however, for me
 speak of the New Britain boy hose position on the stage you all ay we'll be proud of. I refer of 'urse to John Miltern who is one
 the best actors on the American age, or for the matter of that on ly stage. In speaking of Jack Mil Tn I once heard an old English tor say, He reminds me greatly of T Henry Irving in his younger Iys." This is high praise, indeed, r Englishmen do not speak of any le in the same breath with Henry wing unless they have been deeply lpressed.

Delegate Sutherland Opposed to Creation
 of Fisheries Reserves

Delegate Dan Sutherland, who ap- peared at the fisheries hearing in &c., attle, recently, declared that he op- posed the entire proposal for the crea- tlon of fishery reserves along the Alas kan coast.
 "On behalf of the people of Alaska, ]" the delegate announced, fwhose con- sent is unasked and whose rights in this matter have been ignored, object to this move to parcel out 5000 miles of sea coast to the big monopolists, de- uying the individual fishermen of the Territory their constitutional right to free fisheries This proposal is an out rage on the people of Alaska. The reservation plan originates not with the bureau of fisheries, but with the big monopolists who own or control fishing locations within the proposed reserves"

BARES REMARKABLE
! ADVANCE IN T|NPLATE

The remarkable growth and develop
ment of the tinplate industry in the
United States. which today leads the
world in output, was detailed by Joseph
A. Oliver, head of the Mltchell-Oliver
Company of Georgetown, before mem
bers of the Rotary Club yesterday after
noon.
Recounting his own experience in the
business, which he entered In 1883, as
an employe of an uncle in tin shop In
Georgetown, and picturing the different
stages of evolution of the same concern
carried his auditors over the various pc
riods Of improvements and gave statis-
tics to show the value Of the product to
the world today.
He showed that by the introduction
OF copper steel in 1911 a vast saving to
the country had been made possible, the
alloy preventing rust and corrosion, and
was the means of prolonging the life of
galvanized cutters, SpoutS, tin roofS
etc, at least three times as long as pre-
Eious TO it's appearance.
He said also that the improved metal
was a great fire preventive, 1t having
been discovered by investigation that
fully per cent of all fires in the United
States were the result Of poorly covered
roofs.
William Knowles Cooper presided, and
announced great success for the Rotary
bus during the past four months. At
his request for volunteers to sponsor the
vehicle for the coming quarter year the
membership responded with alacrity.
