COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of The Patriot ;--on Sunday and Monday. the Bradley Theatre played Classmates Since this showing we have received many complaints from patrons who thought that part of the picture had been eliminated before reaching Putnam. In justice 10 us and to OUT patrons, We would ask that you print this state meut
 Several months ago Classmates" was presented at our Palace Theatre in Rockville. immediately following it's run in Hartford and New Haven. At that time the writer received nu- merable complaints. similar Co the above. from our Rockville patrons. The matter was taken np with the New Haven Exchange of Associated First National Pictures which dis tributes all of the Barthelmess pie tures. Mir. Martin keileher IS mana ger of that exchange and We quote him as follows:
 "Your Rockville manager claims that you did not receive the entire print on "Classmates. This print was played at the Olympia Theatre in New Haven for the entire week previous Co its playing n Rockville and there was not q scene missing or taken out of the entire picture. II is exactly the same as the picture that played ia Hartford. and to prove this 70 you 1 am enclosing the Continuity sheet which very plainly states that from title sl which reads Break camp. I nm heading for that tree. .sH fa explanaorv as is title s3. Title s4 read You are guiny back Co tell her that you lied Then comes the fade out. and the next is the letter rein stating Barthelmess in West Point
 We hope this will prove that "eiass- mates" !" as run in Putnam. was shown in exactly tho same manner in which it has been presented all over the country.
 Incidentally. this brings up q pretty point for discussion among two opposing schools of motion picture direction. One side claims that H0- thing must be left to the imagination of the motion picture public. The other side argues that motion pictures have progressed beyond that stage of intelligence. and that more can be accomplished by suggestion and innuendo.
 Every person who saw Glass mates" may decide for himself whether Mir. Robertson. the director of the picture. went too far in this latter respect
 Thank you for giving us this on- portunity to present our side of the matter.
 Very truly yours.

 Alderman Labbv of the fire commit tee supported the ianitar in this state ment and also commented on the fact that the boiler is small and the radia- ton insufficient 10 keep the temupra- tBrc very high nn the caldest nights of the winter The council apparently was not convinced that Mr Light was paving all the atterfion nossibie to his work. and Mayor Chapdelaine warned him to report to Mir Labby f doors confirmed to be left open or did rot shut tightly
