CARNIVAL CLOSES

postponements and the rainy weather
the result Is considered satisfactory,
Il has not been specifically dctcrmin-
ed, but il is hoped the proceeds will
amount 10 eight or nine hundred doll

tlcipated from the venture. and far
below what would have been realized
had not the "rainy season" set in.
As a preliminary TO the opening Of
the Kstes the last night. high school
pupils staged a parade Of antiques
and horirhles, ending with mock
marriage near the intersection Of
Front and Main streets. The bride
and bridegroom. Ensor Danielson and

Theatre Owner
Upon arrival IN Putnam Mr. Alpert
took over the lease Of the Victory
Theatre, and from a lettering business
built up a substantial moving picture
concern. This was done through hard
work, enterprise, attractive publicity,
and a pleasing personality. Mr.. Al
pert continued II prosper and became
worthy competitor Of the Bradley
/ Theatre.
In August, 1922. Mr.. Alpert and
Hyde Smith, lessee of the Bradley
Theatre, formed a copartnership. This
was for the purpose of operating
economy and to give the public better
shows and pictures. Later they in
corporated as the S-A Amusement
Company and expanded their holdings
to include two theatres in Danielson
and two in Rockville. This little chain
Of theatres was a success and II was
not long before ii attracted the atten-
ton Of "big business" engaged in ex-
,and;ng n chain Of theatres across the
country.
Sell Out Interests
In the latter part OF 1876 Messrs'
smith 4 Albert announced that the >
A Amusement Company was going 70
araet new theatre in Putnam.
Thev purchased the Seder block on
Main street and property in the rear,
Several tenement houses were cleared
from the land on Lee street IN pre-
marathon for building. Plans Tor the
new niay house had been drawn when
snadenlv II was announced that the
ga Amusement Company had dis-
nosed 81 an Of its theatre interests 70
the Regional Chain, the putnam
houses 60 be run under the name OF
the Putnam Theatres Corporation.
Took Needed Rest
For some time after the change in
ownership Mr. Alpcrt took needed
rest. He then began 20 look about for
something 90 do Ii was about this
time that the depression came upon
him and grew 10 such an alarming ex-
tent that, by and through the advice
Of friends. he was prevailed upon 20
submit to rest and treatment.
During his life in Putnam Mr.. Al
pert entered into the civic and social
/ life Of the city He was ever ready
and willing TO assume responsibilities
to further public movements for the
hettermcnt and advantage of his
adopted city. He grew 20 love Putnam
and had often declared that he hoped
TO remain here permanently. He was
n member Of the Elks. Masons. and of
the Putnam Country Club. and so lived
| his life here that he won the esteem
and respect Of all citizens.

natter or put Il across. II appeared
that Mr. Alpert had again lost couii-
dence in himself and again was sub
iact to the severe mental depression
that caused him to seek professional
treatment.
Writes Letters
Mr. AIpert was at his office Ia the
seder Building, now owned by the S-A
Realty Company, Of which Mr.. Alpert
was a member. early Monday after
noon A young lady who does clerical
work for him entered the office. but he
paid little or 40 attention 10 her. He
was writing a letter and his mind was
~ entirely concentrated upon what he
was doing that he doubtless did not
know Of the young lady's presence.
She noted that, where usually he used
portable typewriter in his cores
pondence, he was writing with pen and
ink. and she thought il strange. He
was doubtless writing the letters found
by his side.
Several people on the lower end Of
South Main street saw Mr.. Alpert pass
along In 4 southerly direction shortly
after four o'clock They remarked
that he did not give them his usual
CHEEKY greeting. He passed from
sight on lower South Main street,
which leads toward the culvert brook.
This was the last seen Of him until ne
was found about 7.3O that evening
mortally wounded. II can not be de-
termined how long IL was before he
was discovered that he fired the shot
into his head.
A train bound for New London
passed shortly after Mr.. Alpert was
found. A trainmnn, who saw several
people around man lying on the
ground reported the matter when the
train reached its next stop. John
Murray 81 the railroad police was
notified to investigate and went to the
scene
Jacob Aipert
Jacob Alpert was born in New York
City. July 2, 1894, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Alpert. His mother died
when he was a lad Of eight or nine
wears. His father subsequently mar

building Of the road bstween the

impression was gained at the meeting
that Pomfret also wishes the road
completed as a last link OF the system
Of excellent roads running through the
township.
Should the two townships vote to
complete the roads the total cost to
Pomfret will be S94. 900. of which the
highway department will ultimately
pay seventy-five per cent. The cost
TO the town Of Brooklyn VIII be
S10s,0 900 of which the state viii also
pay an equal percentage. II has been
determined to call a town meeting in
Brooklyn to vote on the road. Pom
