 Urges Theaicr Support
 Patronage of the Community thea Ter so that the splendid run Of first rate productions may be continued is urged by Judge Roger s. Newell Of Inc high school rccrestional commit tee in the following letter.
 "1'o the Public Of Bristol.
 "A brief statement regarding per. formances in our Community Theater is perhaps in order. Tt has been tho desire of your committed to occasion ally present professional entertain. ments of real merit. It would, Of course be n very easy matter to have inferior shows or moving pictures with any desired frequency, but 10 procure the best road companies is very difficult except at rare intervals. and the reason is perfectly apparent. | After n successful run in New York these organizations naturally are properly go 10 the larger cities where | they have engagements Of weeks or months at one thnattr. Then they 20 10 the cities where the enga gements 7 ar for . week or at least three or four days. and by the time they arc will. ing 10 play for one night only. there ! is often little left Of the original out. fiji. Occasionally an opportunity oc- CUTS 10 get q first class road company for one night and it is our desire ai- . ways 10 take advantage Of u.
 t.s and that is to get some Of the best to come 10 Bristol bSaore they open in New York. There is aI- ways the uncertainty as to whether this will be successful in Scu York of but we can bc assured of the best erforts Of all engaged in the pro |. 1uction and the expense of such per formances is not prohibitiye, in fact Inc cost of seats is less than half what Ii will be in New York the next day pr the next week.
 "N'c have made arrangements now for the presentation of 'Tyrants' On Saturday. March !. The play is de. ightfui satirical comedy. line pro- fucers arr or tho highest standing, md the cast is wonderful. Tho su- iUIs AIhHFlhlOIg pr JbuttG ana Te- . 1ortcrs will be here Of course and it ooks as though H would be a success when it opens in New York city or March 2.
 Whether your committee makes arrangements for other opening nights n the Bristol Community theater de- ,ends. Of course. on inc interest howf by tho patrons of tho fhcatcr in }iistoi and vicinity. ''lf you desire that productions CT his character be given here rom imc 10 tine. your cooptrafiou is ieccssary. 1T rot. the idea viii na- z uraliy be abandoned. Recreation Commiticc.
