GIRL SCOUTS SEEK
 FUNDS FOR CANOE
Five Dollars Received to Date Letter Tells Of Fun in Camp

A letter from a Girl Scout who signs herself T liked" tells of the fun New Britain scouts are having at Camp Sprague near Jobs pond Portland. She tells of a movement On foot to raise funds for the pur- chase of canoe and of a pageant which will be held on the grounds tomorrow afternoon.
 Dear Editor:
 We have not been doing our regular Girl Scout program at Camp Sprague today. All the time has been spent practicing for our Indian pa geant, "Pocahontas," which will be given at camp this Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. We are using one of our several natural amphitheatres for the production. All the parents and council members have been in vited, and any visitors will be wei come.
 We are painting blankets, making Indian dresses and weapons, and learning Indian dances. The pageant tels the story of Pocahontas and John smith. The part of Pocahontas is taken by Dorothy Seymour of PlalnNille. Henrietta Peyser of Phila- delphia will be John Smith, and Frances Nearing of Wallingford will be PoWhatan, Pocahontas's father.
 We have one great aim in camp this year and that is to get canoe, so we have started a canoe fund The scouts are making tiny birch bark canoes to be given to all those who contribute a dollar or more. To date counting contributions made by campers and visitors we have five dollars.
 Last Friday We had our brown tie awards and the following girls re- celved their brown ties: Marion Smith of Plainville, Janet Hall and Margaret Burns of Wallngford. and Catherine Robertson and Helen Burkey of Wcstport.
 The Pioneer encampment has been living independently of camn for the past three days. They come to the kitchen 10 buy the necessities as they would in a store and they only come in 10 camp for the super Nlsed swim and campfire.
 One of the best evenings we had 'hlS week was spent Wednesday. Helen Haynes. one of the girls who was in camp the first two weeks. re- turned with her father. That night after a short drill by the Sub-Debs, the campers were treated to all the watermelon they could eat. The par ents this year have been most gen. erous They have given us marsh malloWS and Watcrmclons and have helped improve camp tremendously.
 We only wish that moro of the parents and people from New Brit ain would come down Sunday after moons from 10 , o'clock

NORMA SHEARER IS
 STARRED AT STRAND
Hast Of Mrs. Cheyney" Is an
 All Talking Drama

There may be finer speaking voices than those heard in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney," Norma Shearers all-talking starring vehicle for Metro Goldwyn Mayer. playing at the Strand Sunday fir four days, but we haven't any idea where they may be found. Miss Shearer, who proved her supremacy as a star or he talking screen in The Trial O.. Mary Dugan," repeats the splendid impression that she made at that time. Her supporting cast in this newer production is also Of an equally splendid calibre, for this screen adaptation Of Frederick Lonsdale's famous stage play, seem- ingly was cast with great attention to the vocal qualities of all the players.
 Certainly Norma Shearer was the most logical choice, in this revlew- CTS estimation, that Hollywood could offer for the role of the aris- tocratic, sophisticated and thor oughly charming lady crooH, q roie made famous on the New York stage by Ina Claire. Brilliant, beau tiful and fascinating. Miss Shearer makes Mrs Cheyney' virtually d masterpiece in her category of su perb interpretations, even excelling her splendid characterization as the murder defendant in the Bayard Neiller drama.
 Basil Rathbonc, beloved by so :. phisticated stage audiences, makes a happy debut on the talking screen as Lord Dilling, the hand some philanderer who expos B Mrs, Cheyney. and later makes amends by losing his heart an l marrying her.
 George Barraud. already familiar of face and voice to screen fans, $ seen-and heard-as Charles, the suave butler-burglar
 In fact, the entire cast may weu be proud of their work in this difficult picture, for in no sense can it be termed merely talking motion 'picture. It is a motion picture background for the clever est dialogue pcnned in many seasons.
 Herbert Funston enacts the role of Lord Elton, the part he playeI in the original stage production, and the balance of the cast in cludes such sterling players as Hedda Hopper, George K. Arthur. Cyril Chadwick, Moon Carroll, Maude Turner Madeline Sey- mour and Finch Smiles. All are deserving of special mention.
 The plot is one of those amusing sldellghts on smart society of the present day. It Is pacKed wl,r humor of the more subtle kind. suspense, and a thoroughly sur prising climax.
 The production is modishiy dressed both as to settings and wardrobes. Miss Shearer appears in some costumes that will doubt less hypnotize the masculine part of her audience and stir the femi- nine to imitation.
 On Thursday the Strand an nounces' the showing of Rupert Hughes widely read Red Book story "Shc Goes to War" with Flea nor Boardman featured. There will also be q five act vaudeville show on this program.
