PARSONS. HARTFORD

From the advance sale of seats for the second week of "Abie's Irish Rose," the Anne Nichols comedy of love and tolerance which has drawn a capacity attendance at Parsons theater this week and which was continued for another week begin ming Monday evening, owing to the enormous demand for tickets, it is quite evident that the theatergoers of Hartford have been caught in the web of admirers of the clean and wholesome entertainment which this wonder play of all time has spread throughout the country.
 Never in the history of the stage has any play attained the promin- ence, nor achieved the success, as has this same racial comedy of laughter which is now in the fifth year of unprecedented success at the Republic theater in New York city, with no signs of waning patronage,
 Seats are now on sale for all re- maining performances and it is ad. vised that those having a desire to witness the play secure their tickets as early as possible, lest the demand again be greater than the supply, for the engagement is not an unlimited one.

ACT To WAKE UP
DEMOCRATS
BY George r. Holmes

DIV NycUEk6 ISs AAOAhGS
A quiet movement has been in
aururated here by some leading
Democrats to shake off the lethargy
that has gripped affairs of the
National organization since the Cool
idge landslide. 1t was learned today.
It has for its object the reorgani-
zation of the Democratic Naional
Committee, the elimination of Glenn
L. Shaver. the present chairman.
and the election of Franklin d.
Roosevelt of New York, in his
stead.
If the views of the movement S
hackers prevail. meeting of the
National Committee will be called
during the spring or early summer
TO effect the change.
There is. however, some opposi'
ton TO it on the part of those who
believe no good purpose can be
served at this time by attempting
to resurrect the National Commit
tee,
To do 50, they believe. might re-
open the wounds incurred in the
Madison Square Garden holocaust,
and delay, II not defeat the ulti-
mate reorganization that must in
eV;tably take place prior to the cam
paign OF 1928.
There has not been a meeting of
tire National Committee for more
than year and a half.
Following the great deDacle o.
1924, organization affairs sank
into a state of well nigh complete
Headquarters were reduced to
tiny office. the personnel reduced to
