EVERY time I feel the spirit movin'
in my heart"
Those words were uttered in melody
by Roland Hayes, negro tenor, while
singing a negro spiritual at Caleb
Mills Hall Friday night.
I did not need to hear the words
to know that a great spirit Of re-
hgious feeling moved the singer He
did not shout his words, but the mes
sage seemed to come as whisper
from the heart.
Here is a splendid example Of what
expert training mixed with careful
religious training has done for a col
ored man. 1t was a mixed audience
which heard Hayes last night. He

ENGLISH'S BOOKS
LAST WARMING
FOR four DAYS
Successful Mystery Play at
Last to Be Seen in
City,

A time honored tradition of the
stage is completely broken down in
THE Last Warning" which comes
to Englishs Jan. 81, %. %. "a
Up to now it has been the feeling
that all the secrets Of life back Of the
stage should be religiously guarded
The methods Of the actors. the intri-
cacies of rehearsals and allied stage
matters were in complete mystery be-
cause every one associated with the
stage felt that if tn public knew the
mechanism of the stage the illusion
would vanish and the interest lag.
Yet this is certainly not the case.
as THE Last Warning" demonstrates
the very revelation of inside facts am
plifies interest. Thus, the play fur
nishes a complete lesson in the actual
stage production.
The players apply for positions in
the cast. Then their manager en-
cages rejects them. At length a re
hearsa1 is called and the director reads
the play and gives his Impressions
Next the players actually go through
their parts
They appear on the barren stage,
in the shadow of cold brick walls and
a solitary electric light. in a dupli-
cate Of the very same unromantic
surroundings which actors face daily
The players discuss their parts, they
talk about positions, gestures and
voice interpretation. These matters
settled. the Play itself is actually pro-
duced before the audience, so that
they get a thorough idea OF the whole
production from beginning to end.
It Is safe to say. therefore. that no
other play in the history of the stage
has ever exposed so completely long
cherished secrets. Yet these matters,
interesting as they are, serve only as
incidental matters in The Last Warn
ing" which is a red-blooded melo-
drama.

1T HIS city has ben on trial this
week, so to speak, because New
- York producers have been
watching the business done at Eng
nsh's by the Galsworthy drama, 10y
alties." This play belongs to the
worth while contributions to the stage.
Galsworthy has given us powerfully
constructed mystery play in addition
to several problems to think about
After word got about that "Loyalties"
was the real goods, Indianapolis the
atergoers took advantage Of the op-
portunity of seeing a wonderfully act
ed show. I would have liked to been
able to record that at least once the
theater was filled to capacity, but this
was not the case for any perform
ance. Yet I feel there IS no reason
10 kick the way we supported Loyal
ties" this week. If we are going to
get the better drama il IS necessary
to support this branch of entertain
ment as well as the musical revues.

OUR BREAD AND BITTER

Even q very hungry man docs not ware. It seems quite a distance from
 a nice juicy steak and an article made
 of steel. Yet in very important
 sense hardware is our bread and but
 ter in this town. Let the hardware
 market go to pieces and where would
 we be? All this is generally rccogniz- ed as true enough, but few take thought of it sufficiently. Let the fac tories shut down and the merchants would not have many customers; the people would have 10 get along with out the services of professional men; the realtors would have little to do ex- cept to try to scare up some money to borrow and so forth and so on.
 It is for this reason that one who lives in New Britain and who is in- terested in the city's welfare, watches the hardware market like a hawk. The men at the head Of these great plants are more than private individ- uals in sense. In place like this they are semi-pubic officials. Per haps they realize and take a bit of pride in it; perhaps they do not. Few of us ordinary individuals do appre- ciate the fact.
 Now comes the best report in long time on the condition of the hardware market, and they have been con sistently good. Buyers are showing stronger interest in most Of the prin- cipal wholesale market. The demand for builders materials and tools con tinues to increase. Orders for spring | are big and everyone concern ed looks for a stronger spring market l And deliveries between manufactur- CTS and johbers arc improving. Of course when the market is like this advance in prices may be expected. That means it is a good idea to buy | now and people are doing it.
 The other day the Herald said | about the Sunshine of Pros- pcrity. Spring is coming with its sum shine. The stage is sct--and when the stage is set for sunshine the most gilt tering objects in it will be products Of our manufacturing plants. And everyone in the city, directly or indi- rectly, will be warmed in the reflected fight.

THE GOLF WORM TURNS

Manager John McGraw of the New
 York Giants has forbidden his play
 CTS in training to play golf Well and
 good. He says that he does not want
 his men to sit around talking golf in
 the middle of hot pennant race. Of
 course not. He admits that golf is
 too good" meaning thai it is too absorbing and that if man gets think ing more about mid-iron shots than his
 batting. the latter will fall off. This,
 too. is quite probable. So those of IFS who love baseball and who have
 played it most of our lives. agree that
 McGraw is standing firmly on both stocky legs, with solid foundation Of truth beneath him. when hc declares that golf and it's fascination is bad for ball players.
 But look here, Muegsie; the said some of us who have been faithful to baseball most Of our lives have got a bone 10 pick with you and your base ball. Have you any idea what baseball has done for us? Do you realize that when wc get out on the links. grasp the golf grip too firmly in our hands, and take swing. said swing is not a perfect golf swing at all? Why? Well. Mir McGraw. our golf swing has been permanently injured because, as mentioned before, wc have been faithful to playing baseball most Of our lives.
 Look at this sad spectacle. There walks up 10 tee man who no longer plays baseball. but who, q couple Of years ago, perhaps, played in a sum mer league and had batting average Of over 300. Beside him is a chap who doesn't know bunt from a Texas Loaguor. I1c never played base 1 ball at all.

HITLER TRIAL IS INTERRUPTED TO-DAY
Prosecutor Quits in Huh at
 Tactics Of Defense
By The Associated Press.

Munich, Bavaria, March G.-The trial for treason of Former Field Marshal Ludendorff, Adolph Hitler, and other participants in the unsue- cessful "Putsch" of last November was suddenly interrupted today when the chief prosecutor left the court after declaring he was no longer willing to continue the prosecution owing to the constant humiliating at tacks made by the counsel for the defense. The second prosecutor re- auestcd the court 10 recess until he had conferred with his superior.
 The charge which led directly to the suspension of the hearing was made by Dr. Kohl, lawyer for the de- fcndants, who declared Chief Prose- cutor Stanglcin had a mania for arr resting minor individuals but had ne- glcctcd to urge the arrest of pr.

TROLLEY PROBLEMS

The president of the American
 Electric Railway association, at the
 annual mid-year conference in St.
 Louis, has some interesting things 10
 say about the problems confronting
 electric railways. Some of his remarks
 will please officials of the Connecticut
 company; some were probably listened
 to with smiles and some probably
 were heard approciatively without
 making any distinct impression.
 Passing over tho great problem
 which this man says confronts the electric roads, namely that street con gestion is making serious trouble for the roads, and not suggesting that some companies may ask public utili- ties commissions to forbid anyone from using the streets except the elec- trio roads, one notes the statement that railway traffic (eiartric) is In. creasing at the rate of 500, 900, 900 passengers a year." and that the year 1923 was the biggest year the electric railways ever had, for they carried 16.000, 100000 passengers" Gee! Where was the Connecticut company? That company evidently could not have shared in this tremendous busi- ness. for has it not just been allowed to Increase fares? or course, no busi- ness man would ask higher prices for his goods at the end Of the best year Of his business, even though he did have to pay his help bit more. And no business man, finding that his line was more popular from year to year would do anything to discourage that popularity. Yet we find an increase being made in tho Connecticut com pany's fares when this president Of this electric railway association says the travel on the electric roads is in- creasing at the rate of 50o,O00,o00 year. With such prospect why the increase in fares?
 We have very properly accepted the motor bus as one Of the necessary ad- 1 Juncts Of our transportation system" Have we? We have. but i've" are not the Connecticut company. Has its If has not. in Ncw Britain at least. or l. course the speaker deprecated "Irrc- ' sponsibie operators" and lauded bus service by electric companies. Well wo would like to sec bus srryicc as an adiunct in New Britain. Between our selves we don't care great deal whether the bussrs are operated privately or by tho company. but we want them up Jerome street way. for incidentally. inc pri- vate1y operated iiincys are doing very nicely. thank you. in the localities they serve.
 But the following extract from this rentleman's address is something one wishes the officials of the Connecticut company would read. learn and in- vardly digest. II emphasizes the value of service and of gaining the good will of the people. Perhaps. from their ; nigh horses. they may be able to look [

THE BURRITT

No resident of New Britain can fail to feel gratified that today there stands here an hotel capable of ac- commodating visitors to the city in a fitting way; capable of providing a place where entertainment may be furnished on extraordinary occasions, and capable of filling a want which, in many ways has handicapped the city.
 The Herald rejoices that this at tractive hostelry has been erected and hopes that those who have invested in the project will be repaid, artistically and practically. The hotel is there, to be made big asset to the city if the proper attitude toward it and in 1t is encouraged.
 Concerning the details of its con- struction and the movement that made fl possible much has been said. IL remains for those in charge of it, di- reetly and in an advisory capacity, to make of the hotel one which justifies the name given it. If, as should be the case, tho spirit of the man after whom it is named inspires those who will be responsible for the manner in which it is conducted, directly and in- directly, 1t will prove to be a boon to the city in every way. Loyalty 10 New Britain and its people was the inspir- ing motive of many of Elibu Burritts activities. We shall be proud Of our new hotel if that sort of spirit pre- vails within it's doors. And play that be it's spirit.
