 Indications are said to point to the
 probability of the Connecticut utility magnatc and political boss" throw ing his hat into the senate cloa k room. His business affairs through out the state are said to have been put into such shape as 10 enable him to make the run" without com- polling him to keep an eye on the power business nor slice of his
 mind upon its management. These arrangements are taken to mean
 something tangible.If Roraback act
 ually became the republican candi-

 sacrifice his political management in the state, it is said. but would en-
 nance his national prestige if and when elected 10 the senate.
 Although long the leader of the
 republican party in Connecticut,
 Roraback has never run for an cleo tive office. nor has he held an ap-
 pointment, So far he has contented
 himself with ruling party politics

 nominated and Lieut., Gov. Brainard also. The latter has been gathering delegates favorable to him for the governorship. but 1t is said that he
 will make no actual fight for it if the leaders decide the ticket will be stronger as it is. It is also realized by republicans that if the democrats nominate Al smith the republicans on their hands and it would not be tactical to swap horses at this time.

 DOROTHY STONE as DOLLY DAY FRED STONE as CHRISTOPHER CROSS
 (By Herald Reviewer)
 After a two year whirl around the country, Fred Stone and Dorothy Stone have returned to these parts with their volcano of laughter known as "Criss Cross" Two years ago they appeared at Parsons thea ter, Hartford. in the same show prior to its long stop at the Globe theater in New York city. Now that they have returned. all the kids from six to 60 can feel assured of getting their moneys worth of amusement for an evening.
 The spectacle of stone pere cavorting, hopping and skipping aronnd at an age when most actors have added themselves to the retired list is we'll worth a visit to Parsons. Fred is phenomenon which com pletely defies explanation.
 "Criss Cross'' is a spectacular musical comedy with huge splashes of color. It Is presented in a pro- logue and two acts with mirth as its backbone.
 Dorothy Stone seems 10 be more charming than ever. A chip off the old block-or a chip off the old stone, If you will.-her accomplish ments are increasing. Two years ago when "Criss Cross'' was first staged Dorothy appeared mite self-con- scious. But that has passed, Her voice has improved. her dancing is better than ever. and she has more self assurance.
 Supporting the Stones are sixteen Filler Sunshine Girls. These marve- lous sisters of synchronization are one of the hghlights of the enter tainment. peals of applause greeting their every appearance.
 Add to the fun and the dancing and the color an Oriental intrigue to steal the che-ild, marry her to a be- turbaned person whom she disIikes and steal the ton or so of diamonds which has been beQueathed to her by her uncle in Algeria and you have "Criss Cross."
 Father Stone and Daughter Stone work harder than anyone else in the cast. Their dancing is of the best. Dorothy shows her versatility by stepping in Spanish and Russian style as we'll as the straight taps The stars shone brightly in their dance up and down a flight of steps. Dorothy and Roy Hover dance nicely together. Lucy Monroe has an im- pressiye voice and knows what to-do with 1t.
 "Criss Cross" is booked for only three nights at Parsons. One having passed along. that leaves tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee to- morrow. Take the children-and Grandma.
