 "The Cat and the King"
 The first performance of The Cat and the King" will be staged to- night in the high school auditorium. This operetta, which is being pro- duced under the auspices Of the Congregational church Womens s Federation and under the personal supervision of Miss Leila Church, is the most elaborate production which has been attempted here. and it is certain to make its audience smile and forget the weather. It is in two acts and nine scenes. with gor- geous costumes, lavish and fantas- tic stage settings. and cast of 150 persons. It was reported this morn- ing that most of the auditorium was already sold out.
 Bank Alarm Sounds
 Some excitement was caused about 9;50 o'clock last night when the re- gently installed burglar alarm on the Plainville Trust Co. building sound- CT. A. A. Macleod. treasurer of the bank. explained this morning that this was due to the fact that the per son who had closed the vault had not set the tumblers in the proper position. In a case like this. the alarm sound it's reminder at a spe- cified time. and this was what oc- cured last night.
 League Game Scheduled
 The Trumbull Electric and Peck Spring -Plainville Casting teams in the Industrial league are scheduled to meet this evening, but at noon today it appeared as if play would be impossible on account of the weather. The Temco nine showed it's metal lakt Tuesday by garnering | 4-3 victory from the Businessmen and uncovered 8 sterling pitcher in Freddy Miller; Manager Livingston is confident that his team has fully as good chance of taking the cup as has any other. The combination team put up a good exhibition against the Standard Steel Thurs day evening but could not make it's hits count; otherwise it appeared as strong as any other team in the league and should furnish stiff re- sistance should there be a game to- night.
 The game last Thursday was play ed after early weather conditions made it seem unlikely, and such may be the case this evening. If it is necessary to postpone the con- test it probably will not be played off until after the end of the sched- uled season on August 4.
