 Show Successful
 Crowds which filled the Commun- ity theater to oyerflowing, and which even necessitated the turning away of many, gathered yesterday at three performances 10 witness the showing of the |. s. government war picture, "Over the Top With the Allies" under the auspices Of the Brock-Barnes Post of the American Legion.
 The first performance was held at 4 o'clock and was attended largely by the school children. Through the cooperation of Principal Orrin Judd of the Plainvile Grammar school, the pupils were dismissed earlier than the usual hour, to per- init them to be at the theater at the announced hour. There was such large number of them that 1t was found necessary to call upon the teachers for their assistance in providing for them. Those who could not gain entrance at the 4 o'clock performance were accom- modated at the next performance at 6 o'clock. This. too, was largely at- tended but probably the final show ing at o'clock was witnessed by the largest audience. Music during the performances was furnished by New Britain orchestra.
 The proceeds of both the show and the sale of candy which was in charge Of the Legion Auxiliary, will be used for the general disburse- ments of the Post. They amount to $135.
 Through the courtesy of Berk- owitz and Rothstein, the owners, the use of the theater was provid- ed free of charge. That the own CTS are public spirited is shown, by the fact that in this case as in sev- cral previous cases, they have given their support to various events by the use of their theater. Members of the Post through Commander Robert Craig, wish to thank the public of PlainSllie for its support through it's patronage of this show ing yesterday. The Post is already making plans for the showing of another war picture in the next month or six weeks so that those who did not have the opportunity to witness this one will' have another chance to see a picture of some of the events of the war.
