The Rev. DR.. Wiseman represents
the type of man who not only has the
gift of writing books, speeches or SER
mons, but who represents in particular
living sermons, delivered daily to those
of the human race who ale in need of
succour, sympathy and spiritual advice.

daily contact with him during my two
visits to the city of Washington. when |

partnership for several months and listen
ing to his words Of wisdom.

From close association with the Rev.
DR.. Wiseman during my stay in Wash
ington | found that his prominence, infu-
ence and popularity are due not only to
his mighty intellect, but principally to
the kindness of his heart and goodness
of his life. Gods good man" is part of
the many blessings that follow and pre-
cede him wherever he gees. And one
does not wonder after associating with
him for any length of time.

be known as the Cameo building.
All brick and most OF the outside
terra Gotta work has been finished
and it is expected that the building
and theater will be ready for occu-
pancy by the first Of October.
Local real estate men believe
that the completing of the theater
will tend to send real estate prices
in the vicinity upward and also be
a material boom to building In that
vicinity. Directly opposite the the
alter. on the corner of South Elm
and Main streets, George Lacourse
has broken ground for what will

Cooley Lenient at Present but
Warns violators of Code-Camp
Street to Be Reshouldered-
Plainville Briefs.
The Community theater on Whit
ing street has been leased for q
term OF years by George Levitt Of
New Britain, lessee OF the Strand
theater on West Main street. The
lease, which was obtained fromN1da
Horwitz and Nettie Rotstein, was
put through yesterday afternoon
and gives Mr.. Levitt q monopoly
of the motion picture houses In
Plainville. When asked concerning
the terms. he said that he had OBJ
tanned the Whiting street theater
for a very fair rental.
The Community theater will be
closed following its regular per-
formances Saturday. The future
plans of Mr.. Levitt are incomplete
but the building will probably be
remodelled. The lessor has In mind
waysde dancing and refreshment
center and may carry this scheme
out, but he has not yet fully de-
cided. An alternative plan which
he is considering Is to show the
cheaper class of pictures at the Com
munity and the higher class OF
films at the Strand.
The only motion picture house In
town for a number OF years, the
Community theater was constructed
after successive remodellings OF all
old building. For number o,
months 1t had been said to be los.
ing money, and the leasing OF the
place was not a great surprise ia

ming benefit pictures on $3.50
split basis with different lodges and
even stopping a performance to in
vite the holding Of special town
meeting in the theater on the oc-
casion of the vote to erect the new
high school.
Mr.. Levitt opened the Strand
theater here last winter and aroused
the admiration of the townspeople
for his coruage in starting such a
project in Plainville. and now he is
taking another step looking toward
the modernization Of Plainville Is
amusement places.
Building Without Permits
Several buildings are being erect
ed without permits having been oh
tanned for them. Building Inspector
O. I. Cooley said today. This is in
direct violation Of the new building
code, and the inspector warns the
owners that they had better take
out permits before proceeding fur
Their with construction work.
Mr.. Cooley is inclined to be len
lent with yiolators at present, be-
cause of the novelty of the law. but
steps may be taken II the code is
not observed In the future. Mr..
Cooley also wishes that prospective
builders would note that his office
hours are from to 10 a. M. every
day from 1880 to $3.50 on Monday
and Thursday evenings. Many APP
plicants are appearing at his office
at other hours and causing him in
convenience thereby There has been
a switch in telephone connections at
the town hall, and the building in
