JOHN BARRYMORE OPENS
 IN HISTORIC THEATER
Playing Hamlet Tonight in Hay market Where First Lionel
 Played 50 Years Ago

By The Associated Press
 London, Feb. 19.-London critics were today sharpening quills for tonight's debut of John Barrymore who invades the home of Shake speare as Hamlet" in the same theater - The Haymarket - where the first Maurice Barrymore played fifty years ago.
 The coming of John Barrymore has aroused the greatest interest and the stalls were sold out early, while in the small hours of the morning long line of old Shake- spearean enthusiastS waited outside the theater for first chances at the pit and galleries-otherWis Mig ger Heaven"
 The critics have been cautious in their advance notices, being un- willing to comment prior to the appearance of an actor whose Hamlet is admittedly q consider able departure from the conven- tional, portrayal of the melancholy Dane. But everyone generally is anxious to compare his performance with that of the role as it was play ed by such famous stars at Irving, Benson and Forbes Robertson who are hailed here as the greatest Ham lets of the age and whose work is almost an adage with English Shakespearean followers.

l
 Paris, Feb. 19. - Promise of a $loo,0Oo,o0o loan for the improve ment of French finances and an- other s35,000,000 for the devastat- ed regions, to be floated in the United States as soon as the. budget Is definitely balanced and voted, was one of the remedies for Frances troubled financial and economic si.- uation advanced by Finance Minis ters Clementel in an address before the chamber of deputies today.
 M. Clemente gave no indication of the terms or other details and re- trained from saying whether assur- ance of the loans came through the Morgan group which has handled all the French financing operations in the United States. He limited him self 10 the simple declarations: M. Loucheur (former French minister of commerce) has advocat- cd q foreign loan. We have the promise that when our budget is definitely and finally voted and bal anced, one loan of $100,000,O0O for the French treasury and another of 1 s35,00O,000 for the devastated re- gions will be issued in the United 1 States"
 NJ. Clemcntel began his speech on the financial and economic situation by remarking that the aldresses made on the subject by Premier Herriot7 and NJ. VioIette. the budget reporter, had made it unnecessary for him to deliver "a real speech" and he would content himself with giving the broad outlines of the governments financial policy
 You are right not to expect any miraces-not to look 10 me as a man with q magic wand" said the ! finance minister. Tn q conversa- ton with a particularly competent personality recently I was told I might consult the spirits of Col bert, Turgot and Rouvier, and they would all reply that there was no l instant panacea. The remedy can only be found in the patient, con- 1 tinued arduous effort Of the French nation, in its savings, its economy, its labor, it's love of the individual property which it has created, its unswerving support of essting in- stitutions.
 The finance minister said the in- ventors published by him last De- cember was an attempt to give the world an honest statement of Frances financial and economic sit uation.

DISCLOSE REASON FOR
 ANNEXATION PROJECT
Capitol Hears It Is Scheme to Benefit Newington
 Children
Special to The Uersldi

Hartford, Feb. 19.-The "nigger in the wood pile" relative to the an- nexation of a part of Newington to the city of New Britain came to light today when it was heard in the lobby that the people residing in the strip of territory between the Cremo Brewery and Clayton crossing, which is the area affected, wanted annexa- tion to New Britain.
 A hearing is scheduled for Feb ruary 25, before the legislative com- mittee on cities and boroughs and the so-called free education for New ington students at the New Britain high school, is expected to be nipped in the bud.
 The people living in this area are the ones affected most. because of the fact that their children must go over the dangerous grade crossing to attend school and their lives are in daplger. It was learned today that John Bilson, father of several chil- dren, is considering the circulation of q petition to be presented Tuesday evening at a meeting of the Newing- ton board of selectmen and to be | forwarded 10 the legislative com- inittee.
 Advocates of the bill say that if New Britain acquires the territory it will open up a new district for choice homes.
 The free tuition clause could not be satisfactorily explained. It is doubted, however, that it will find favor among many either in New Britain or Newington.
 Frank L. Condon, a former mem Der of the common council in New Britain, and chairman of the board of public works in that city, was in conference witt the public utilities commission for an hour this morn Ing. He came to argue the case of Fremont street residents who are seeking a discontinuance of the 'ex- press" system on the Hartford New Britain bus line.
 The committee on cities and bor- oughs reported favorably on a bin to require building permits in the town of Berlin and the house ac- cepted its report.
