.rHE BARKER" AT CAPITOL

Place we'll at the head of talking pictures yet shown in New Britain. ''The Barker" the first dialogue film made by First National Pic lures. It delighted and thrilled a large audience at it's first perform. ance at the Capitol theater last night where it will be shown today. Tuesday and Wednesday.
 ''The Barker" has everything to appeal to the public in its talking version. Its emotional effect !s greatly heightened. not alone by it's dialogue. but by the synchronization of music and of the street carnival cries and sounds. The Barker" is a picture made for dialogue and Di- rector George Fitzmaurice deserves high praise for the manner in which he has managed the talking se- quences as we'll as for the splendid drama. the emotional scenes and the beauty of the photography.
 On Thursday Mother Machree" will be offered and beginning next Sunaay the first all talking outdoor picture Tn Old Arizona" will be featured for four days.

fifth wards was less than the xain in vote made by their opponents The third ward was made a virtual mo contest" ward by the endorse ment of two of the three republican candidates-an endorsement, the
 wisdom of which was at the very least, questionable. It would be more a matter of enthusiasm rather than of cool analysis. to expect the democrats to carry the first, or .he republicans to carry the sixth
 wards.
 Fund Lying Idle II believe these figures clearly answer the question of the demo- cratic party's unsatisfactory showing last Tuesday. The sad part of the
 whole situation is the fact that proper organization and a sufficient number of automobiles would have changed the complexion of election day-and for the first time in many years, the democrats had funds available. While good candidates were going down to defeat at the polls, the committee had approxl- mately s1,10o at it's disposal but did not call it into play to engage automobiles. Why?
 The foregoing facts are not set up for purposes Of controversy, but merely for the committees instruc- ton and by way of explaining my viewpoint expressed after election. and still held by me:
 "The committee has no organiza- tion It is without head or tail. and while there are few of it's mem- bers who are workers. the greater part of them would do the party q service if they resigned and made way for others
 "The committees letter expressed willingness to step aside for others. It would seem that the time has comc."

|BOY SCOUTS VISIT
 l HARTFORD FRIDAY
Go in Autos| and Report Extra
 Fine Time

Troop ., Boy Scouts. connected with the South Congregational church of this city. made q visit last Friday evening to troop 2s of Hart ford, whose headquarters are at the Universalist church. The local dele- gation was headed by Scoutmaster Harry Bonney and Commissioner Charles Morgan and consisted Of about 40 scouts and leaders. who were transported by automobiles fur nished by the troop committee. The visit was made in response to an urgent invitation by Assistant Scout masters Ronald l.. Brown and H. Gordon Williams of the Hartford troop. who have been frequent a1- vocates of a closer fraternal spirit among the scouts of both councils and the real demonstration of the fourth scout law. "a scout is friend ly"
 Troop cS may be remembered To- cally as the one which last winter gave an exhibition of Indian cere- monial dances at the scout exhibit at the junior high school. and they have again rendered their services in a similar exhibit to be given in connection with minstrel show which is to be held under the aus pices of a local troop at the Nathan Hale school on April 29. When the visiting troop reached the head quarters of troop os last Friday it was met by Scoutmaster Brown and conducted to the hall where it was given hearty welcome by it's hosts. cheers for each troop being given with will by both organizations. The visitors were then taken m groups to inspect the different units where they saw the various patrol projects in actual operation. the older scouts working on Indian bead work. archery and leather wo"k. while the younger scouts were busy with scoutcraft and drill formations. Merit badge classes were also being conducted for advanced scouts. A game period was then called in which the New Britain scouts were taken in as ''one of the family" In spite Of the fact that there were 70 CT more scol Is present. the games were put across with no confusion or delays. Beth troops were next lined up and after brief remarks by Scoutmasters Brown and Bonnoy and Commissioner Morgan. the ,isi- tors were then treated 70 unique l ceremony when three embers of troop 2S were officially notified of their election to the 70 Q O. so- ciety of life scouts of that troop. The meeting WAS closely with review by troop cs.
 Scoutmaster Ronnay suggested that both troops unite in hike some Saturday in Juna a suggestion which wa. heartily received by the leaders of the Hartfor troop.

Hampton residents is a democratic town committeeman for the ward in which I vote. He should have been in position to caution against such miastatement creeping into the letter.
 Tells of Ills Own Work l "With reference to the part played by my family in the election or last Tuesday: I came back from Pennsylvania to attend rally in the fifth ward, and did SO without being asked. The committee has nice balance in it's treasury. but I was asked for a contribution, and gladly rendered a check. Mrs. Paonessa spent the whole day at work getting out the vote. own but one car. and that car was placed at the disposal of the committee and used. together with the chauffeur whom ] employ. ed and paid. How many members of the town committee gave time, money, car, and employed a driv- CT?
 I appreciate the written approval of my suggestion that John l.. Pagan l be made chairman of the democra- /, tic town committee, and am glad to find we are in agreement as to the efficiency of his work and that of his fifth ward colleague, Frank Za- patka.
 "The town committee attributes the unsatisfactory showing of the day to the fact that the democratic party suffered a crushing defeat last November. No doubt that happen ing has ranked many members of the party. But, we had a ticket which. from top to bottom. was made up of popular. efficient men. capable of filling the offices they sought, and known to the electors as honest. efficient men. With 1, proper organization. many of them 1 would have won. May l remind that the most recent mayoralty elec- ton in the state of Connecticut, that of Danbury. one of the strongest re- publican cities of the state resulted in the reelection of a democrat, Mayor Anthony C. Sunderland? Do they believe the democrats of Dan- bury forgot the election of last No- vember?
 Statistical Argument
 Taking the figures of the previous off-year election, 1927, and those of last Tuesday, allow me to show what the democratic town commit tee and the opposing town commit tee did in the way of getting out the vote. In the first ward, the opposi- ton increased its vote by PAP, the democrats decreased it by 70; in the second ward. the opposition in creased 1l5. the democrats had nine less than two years ago; in the third ward, the opposition had IT less votes, and the democrats 1lS less; in the fourth ward. the democrats had 12S more votes, their opponents had I'll more: ill the fifth ward. the democrats brought in 136 more votes. their opponents 347 more: in the sixth ward. the democrats had i l3s more and the c. 0. F. had 96 additional votes. The republican total increase was oil, their total loss was 177. the net gain 794. The democrats total increase was 4o2, total loss 1S7, net gain 205. The combined vote by which the demo- crats lost the second, fourth and

The boys up Fafnir way missed a golden oppor- tunity to tell us all about the shackles. but that's water over the dam now. and all the editor can do is to offer his condolences to the advertising department.

(Continued from First Page)

tees impression of my post-election the agency 1t disalproves, namely, the newspaper columns. I am pleas ed to see that, in the interim which elapsed between the preparation of the statement and its mailing. the committee has come to concur Tn my viewpoint that the tusiness Of political party is the business of the public and should be given proper publicity.
 Tt has not been the general poll icy of the democratic town commit tee. as at present constituted. to call members of the party in for conference and advice, in fact. many of it's meetings including. I am told. the one at which this latest action was decided upon, being executive sessions at which none but commit tee members are allowed to have a voice. For this reason it would be difficult, perhaps impossible. for me either to advise before the election. or follow out the notion that my statement should have been made to the town committee. If mem Der of the democratic party is of the belief that conditions exist within the party organization which should be remedied. it is futile 10 make known his beliefs to the group which militantly uphold the object ed to procedures. His one recourse as I see it, is to the registered democratic electorate. which can be reached only through the public press.

TANKS IN LEGION
 KEEN FOR BATTLE
French Commander Says Ameri-

By RALPH HEINXEN

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Sidi-bel -Abbes, Algeria. Nov. 96- (By MaiD D-'"The greatest blessing is that we do not have more Ameri- can and English volunteers in the Legion" was the very frank and startling declaration of Colonel Rol- let, kind-eyed little commander of the French Foreign Legion, who prcsides over the scores of desert outposts through which the famous regiment is scattered
 "Thcy make the worst soldiers Of them all in what you call peace times. They do not lend themselves to army discipline. although am the first to admit that in battle they are magnificent"
 Little more than five feet tall. about 50 years old. with pointed gray beard, Colonel Rollet looEs more like a wizened litle professor Of mathematics than the brilliant commander of a fighting legion of hard boiled warriors.

His men, ordinarily bcreft of sentiment, adore him. In the field, while q dignity which his posi- ton demands. he shares their meagre fare and their discomfort.
 "Please let America know that the Legion is not a penitentiary regiment" be begged me.
 "You know now, for you have seen the Legion here and in the field. They are fine soldiers and more. No one expects 10 find sentiment in the Legion, but one expects and does find extreme bravery, hono", respect for your fel lows and courage"

 "Your American film Beau Geste' was piffle. 1t was very harmful. and l can understand that the opin- ion of the world toward the Legion was poisoned. But l insist that the Legion has never been like the film. We are hard but not cruel; we never strike anyone but the enemy.
 We have an open house to any courageous man who cares 10 come, but it is not true that we invite criminals who seek only to repay justice for theIr crimes. If crlm- inal gets into the Legion and fits our standards, we do not bctray
