NEW RICHELIEU
 Qi0ODR|CH'S WORK
Old Version for Hampden Re
 .ViSed by Local Writer

When Walter Hampden appears at Parsons theater, Hartford, Thursday, Friday and Saturday eve nings and Saturday matinee it will be in a new version of "Riche- lieu' written by Arthur Goodrich who was long a resident of New Britain and who has risen to the position of one of the leading dramatists of the country. Un- doubtedly many of MT. Goodrich's old friends will seize the opportunity to go to Hartford to see his latest work.
 NIr Hampden long has wanted to appear as Cardinal Richeleu, but the famous play dealing with that great French statesman, written by Bulwer Lytton, is quite out of date in it's original form, so the actor manager was not able 10 realize this ambition until Mir Goodrich fur nished him with a modern version in which the mechanical action and suited phraseology of the old drama were eliminated.
 That Nr. Goodrich is well quail fled for such 8 task was evident from his former triumphs in the theater. It was he who wrote an- other of Mr. Hampdcn's greatest successes, "CapOnsacchi," this being dramatization of Robert Browning's great dramatic poem, The Ring and the Book" This play served Mr. Hampden for an entire season at his own theater in New York and has won general approval in what ever other cities it was presented. Another of Mir. Goodrich's fine con- tributions to the stage was "Yes or No," drama which also enjoyed an all season run in New York.
 "Richelieu' gives Mr. Hampdcn one of the finest opportunities of his career for dominant and subtle acting. It is a characterization which stands alongside his most famous role. "Cyrano de Bergerac" in color, atmosphere and action.

tai OF 2,669 tons. The same ships
carried away only 638 tons OF mer-

In 1929 the arrival OF ships has
become ven more less frequent, so
that the sight OF q boat BY an in
habitant Of st. Pauls suburb is
something worth mentioning to a
neighhor.
But the fascist government has
determined that Rome's advantage
in being near the sea shall not Be
sacrificed. The department OF the
Tiber has undertaken to confine
the river within rigid banks from
Rome TO the sea, % that the cur

In some spots the channel Is only

Other works are under consider

ships have difficulty in entering
the river when the sea Is high. The
government proposed to construct
a dyke TO protect the mouth OF
the river from breakers, and also a
"harbor OF refuge" to into which
boats can sail when the sea Is
rough.

Exhaustion or Confederate

next quarter. according To Gov.
Moody's view Of the pension mud

The pension fund was exhausted
without completing payments for
the third quarter. Gov Moody
pointed out that. since its money
comes from annual tax collections.
there will he little money I'm the

quarter payments.
He inquired into the results cf

islators ON the question OF coming

the pension law, but did not indi-
cate whether he will take action to-
ward converting the session. Enough
senators and ~ OF the required 100
house members have agreed to meet
without pay TO amend the pension
law.
Gov. Moody debated whether the
legislature could do anything about
the situation. other than To repeal
the law that increased the total
payments. He expressed the belief
that next year the pension fund.
based on a 7-cent tax, will build it
self up To meet the requirements.
Gov. Moody pointed out that the
authority under which the state
general fund borrows money Cid

tory law. and that banks are per-
mitted to offset" interest charges

for the pension fund, and Gov.
Moody doubted the possibility on
borrowing money by the pension
fund.
He pointed out that a penalty A.

the legislature might repeal this
law. Bills we're offered I'm past ses-
