Spanish Moon," the bright musical comedy which the American Legion will present at the Capitol theater on the nights Of December 5 and 6 is rapidly nearing the pro- duction point. The principals are attaining ease and spontaneity in action that comes from careful preparation and attention to details and a complete understanding of the roles in which they are cast. Each night the chorus groups work with greater precision and speed, comes the report from those who have been watching the progress of re- hearsals.
 Seats went on sale at Crowell's Drug Store this morning. A steady drain on seats for both nights, and large blocks being taken by various organizations indicates a most en- couraging advance sale, and a proba ble scramble for seats at the finish.
 Spanish Moon Is filled with lively dance spots one of which comes in for very special mention. This is an all-boy dancing group to a very fast, slightly amusing num- Der.

SUICIDE NOTE IS
 BELIEVED A HOAX
NeWington Girls Name Si8ned-
 She Denies Knowledge

T can't stand 1t any longer. I have tried everywhere for a job. l hope that no one will find my body. My mother lives in Newingtol Conn. Mrs. Anna Romanzchys.' (Signed) "M R."
 These words contained in an ap-. parently suicides note found yester- day on the Connecticut river bridge connecting Hartford and Eas. Hart ford, have left the members of the Hartford police force in a quandary as to its meaning and investigations carried on since its discovery have failed to bring either its author or the body of the person whose inl- tials were signed to 1t, to light.
 Immediately upon learning of the note, Hartford police officials con- nected it with the report of Police man Joseph Tinlay that State Po- liceman Anthony Buddes had come upon a girl on the bridge about a, m. Sunday morning. She ap- peared to be in despair and when the policeman attempted to question her, she stubbornly refused to an swer while her body was shaken with sobs.
 The state policeman then notified Policeman Finley of the East Hart ford department and he hurried to the bridge but found no one there. The note was discovered late yes- terday afternoon. It was pencilled in a crude hand on the back of q business card of a Hartford employ ment agency.
 Because of the naming of the Newington woman, the police paid a visit to her home. She is the mother of three daughters but none [ of them could be coupled with the author of the note. The three have ! been happy and contented with no signs at any time of being OH the verge of despair.
 l Mrs. Romanzchys stated that 1 Mike Rector. a son by former
 marriage had left her home recently with his wife after a quarrel over
 money he had owed his mother. He
 had refused to go to work.
 Once before he had tried to scare
 his family by threatening suicide
 and Mrs. Romanzchys was inclined
 to believe that he was the author ol
