THE sILvER CORD' By SIDNEY HOWARD
 with LAURA HOPE CREWS NanaSsment JOHN CROMWELL
 rAuN
(By Herald Rsvisvsr)

(By Hsrsld Rsvtevsr)
 Theatergoers of Hartford and vi-
 cinity had an opportunity last night
 of seeing for the hrst time at Par sons theater. tho New York Theater Guild success of last season. 'The Silver Cord" by Sidney Howard. with Laura Hope Crews in the feat ured mother role.
 It is called | comedy-drama but 1t is mostly comedy although sprinkled here and there arc heart throbs and gulpa Mothers whose sons have re- gently entered the state of matri- mony would do we'll to sec it. New daughters-in-law might also attend to their edilication and learn that what they construe as selhshness on tho part of their husbands mothers is. after all, based on mother love. There is something to be said for both sides even though the story and tho direction of the play arc aimed at the mother who tries to keep her apron strings strongly att tached to her boys after they leave the family rooftree to start life with the girls they have selected for their partners in thfs business of marriage. Mrs. Phelps has two boys who have grown up. For years she has been . widow and has devoted her self almost exclusively to the bring ing up of her lads and to planning their futures. Her affection has be- come an obsession. She cannot bring herself to realize that her boys have become men, ono already married and the other engaged. When David brings home . "lady scientist" as his bride. she treats them both as chill dren and tries to upset their plans they have made for their future. She nearly creates rift in their happiness by her absurdities. She also interferes with the love affairs of her son, Robert, and. through selfshness. her unwillingness to let him work out his own destiny. sue ceeds in having him break off his engagement.
 The character of Mrs. Phelps was portrayed by Miss Crews with no uttl0 amusement. DHo WdS tHc per sonification of the mother whose blind love is an obstruction on the track of her sons happiness. Her little grimaces, mannerisms. sup pressed thoughts which run contrary to the ideas of her daughter-in-law. her tears and her smelling salts, all combined to mako a delightful inter- pretation of the role. The audience last evening frequently expressed its appreciation of Miss Crews art.
 Miss Allen and Miss Simpson dis charged burdensome responsibilities with true regard for their roles. Miss Allen was remarkably fine in the third act when she spoke her mind. Miss Simpsons chance came in the second act when her engagement to Robert was broken.
 The male parts, taken by Melvyn Douglas and Jack Livesey. were nice- ly handled with exactly the proper degree of restraint. Complaint was heard that they were not strong" enough. That, in its final analysis. was complementary were in-

DR. LEAK EXPLAINS
 MENTAL DISEASES
BslisV9 Clinic Would Be ol
 Advantage in This City

Many people show an amazing isnorance of hospitals for mental disease" said Dr. Roy L. Leak. su- perintendent of the Connecticut state hospital at Middletown. in an address to the Y. M. c. A. Bible class last evening. Explaining his statement. he said that within the past three years a visitor at the Middletown institution asked to be shown the padded cell. Tn my 30 years experience in this kind of work I have never seen a padded cell in any we'll conducted institution ex- cept in police stations. where they are used for detention purposes" he replied. ....-
 He said the Middletown insNtu- ton now has 2.ss0 patients. In ad- dition 1t has more than 500 em- ployes. He told about the causes of mental disease and said psychia- trists today do not use the word insanity"
 He denounced in emphatic termh the person who invites the mental ly sick patient flor ride to see Aunt Jane. or . visit to Sister Nora, {" takes him in an institution and leaves 1t to the authorities there to explain what has happened. 'Never deceive the mentally sick. We must gain their confidence before we can help them. and If they are deceiv- ed we cannot gain their confidence" Dr. Leak explained.
 He told his hearers that about 30 per cent of the patients get we'll. and many others would If their cases were treated early enough. He de- scribed the various phases of the mentally sick and their causes.
 Speaking of the proposed mental clinic in New Britain, pr. Leak eX- plained that if room is granted at the New Britain General hospital, he will send physician and men tai hygienist or social welfare work CT here once a month or once in two weeks to examine patients and give proper advice. Many cases never need go any farther if ac- corded this service, he explained. Most of the cases in this type of clinic consist of backward school children and those who have a pe- culiar twist to their nature, such as inferiority complex, etc. He said the state health department will aid in this work.
 Dr. Leak was accompanied here by Dr. Waterman, also of Middle town, whom he introduced as his double. There is a striking resem-

LEGION DEFEATS
HIGHER PENSIONS
Iowa Convention Votes Down
Brookhart Proposal for
World War Veterans.

BY the Associated Press.
CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa. September l3.
Senator Smith W. Brookharts pro-
posal that the Iowa American Legion
indorse plan to pension World War
veterans was voted down by the Legion
mares in convention yesterday. Ham
ford MacNider, past national COM
mander of the Legion, led the OPPOSE
ton to the Iowa Republicans resolution.
The resolution providing that eX-serV-
ice men be allowed the same pension as
Spanish American War veterans had
been carried to the floor when Mac
Nider, former Assistant Secretary of
War. critized politicians who want to
promise us something which they know
they cannot deliver
Senator Brookhart leaped to his feet
and retorted:
I'll not be bluffed l know the inter-
csts behind this talk l know what
money will wage the fight against me.
I'll not be biuffed by any one at any
time"
Il am making no accusations" Mac
Nider replied, but the greatest enemy
the Legion has in this or any other
fight in Washington is the man who
always comes out with some other bill
just as We are trying to get our own
through.
Il simply submit, if the Senator
has any excess energy to put in for the
care Of the disabled. that he sees to it
that this lad who stood before us hand
less and sightless yesterday be paid
more than meesly $50 a month before
he worries about us with two legs to
walk on and two eyes to see where we
are going
MacNider said he did not know
whether the resolution was offered as
reputation of the Legion stand or
prompted by lack of information on the
Legion's policy to aid disabled veterans

PARTRIDGE SEASON
CLOSED THIS YEAR

Because of the scarcity of birds,
Governor Christensen issued an ex-
ecutive order protecting these birds
until the open season of 1880.
Ruffed grouse, commonly known as
cartridges, were killed off by disease
and parasites, until two years ago and
last year scarcely one was to be seen
where before there were hundreds.
This disease seems to have run it's
course, for there have been numerous
reports of fair sized coveys of young
cartridges seen in the woods and along
the highways. The birds are more
numerous than year ago, and if they
are fully protected for the next two
years, will without doubt again afford
sport for hunters.
Old timers in the woods say that
the partridge disease is nothing new,
that before they were hunted to any
great extent they used to die off about
once in every ten or twelve years, but
say also that they were brought near
er to determination recently than is.
usually the case. Two years ago re-
ports were common of the finding of
dead birds along the edges of fields.
and in wood roads in the timber,
where they had died from disease or
parasites.
