D. K. H. TO BENEFIT BY
 ARRIVAL OF KITTY"
Proceeds From Three Act Farce to Be Used For Refriger-
 ating Plant
Pomfret Hall, July 3.-Exeellent
 Cast

''The Arrival of Kitty" farce ir three acts. to be produced in Pomfrei Hall on the evening of July p.urnis. es to be, not only the event of the season, but the event of many sea. sons past.
 In the old days, "before the war Pomfret was famous for her amateur plays, but for one reason and another Pomfret Hall has, with a few notable exceptions been dark.
 Whether or not there is to be a re- viyal of dramatic interest, "The Ar rival of Kitty" is coming, and with a cast, and under a management that promises success, and bespeaks wide spread patronage.
 The following is the cast:
 William Winkler Ellis Pritchar1 Robbie Baxter Charles Swan Benjamin More Alex Vonsiatsky Ting Charles Cushman Aunt Jane Mary Maher Nelson Jane Mary Bradford Suzette Edith Lorillard Sam Robert Arnold Kitty Annie Lindgren
 The receipts of this play are to be devoted to the purchase of an electric refrigerating plant for the Day kimball Hospital. There can be no doubt that such a plant Is in the nature of q necessity. and neces- sity that the Hospital. despite all the generous support t enjoys. can never be in a position to acquire except by gift. l. Is believed by the management of The Arrival of Kitty" that even II the publie's interest in general contri- button to this institution has been dulled by pretty constant demands upon it. a specific gift, bound to minister to the comfort of many and the efficiency of the management, will meet with a hearty response.
 The value of these tangible gifts to the hospital has been evidenced in the tremendous service which the Hawley fracture table given last year has been to the hospital IL has been constantly in use, and has saved much suffering to patients and difficulty to surgeons. The hearty cooperation of the community is solicited, and an excellent return for their patronage is promised.
 Further details as to this even will follow in next weeks paper.
