"JIM" MAHONEY IN
 PUBLICITY STUNT
Gives Out Passes In Rockville
 Size of Newspaper Page
Alive to Psychology of mr. Cisizen
 and the Theatre

It is difficult. at least for the lay mind. to decipher the psychology of the public's attitude toward anything theatrical as it relates to the public getting a thrill in alluding to it's per sonal acquaintance with some member of the profession, or even to a theatre manager, the boxoffice att tendant or to the head usher. To escort group into theatre and have the man in the boxofiice greet the head of the party, 'Why good eve- ming Mir. Citizen. is delight to Mir. Citizen. It is also true when the head usher steps forward smilingiy and says Where are the seats to night Mir. Citizen?" And if the man. ager greets Mir. Citizen effusiyely, Mir. Citizens delight Is unbounded. But the thrill of thrills comes to the man who walks past the boxoffice with head in the air and presents the man. agement's pass to the door attend ant Here is the thrill of thrills for your Mir. Citizen.
 There is something about a pass to theatre that gets way down deep under the skin of both Mir. and Mrs. Citizen. That the theatre manager Is alive to this fact is evidenced by his judicious distribution from time to time of the coveted bits of paper or pasteboard that allow Mir. Citizen to enter the theatre while his admiring, envious, neighbors stand in line at the boxoffice window.
 Over in Rockville last week. while the Show of Shows was playing the Inter-State's Palace theatre, the com pany's Connecticut Manager, "Smil- ing Jim" Mahoney of Putnam, util ized the pass as an advertising stunt. Not only did the publicity arise from the presentation of the passes given out but the newspapers gave several inches of free space to the unique way of advertising.
 Pass Publicity
 Passes were presented to those storekeepers who are accustomed to display theatre advertising in their windows. There was nothing unusual in this. It is just the ,ordinary form of reciprocity between the theatre management and the storekeeper for service given by the latter. In this instance. however, the passes were on cardboard and were approximately the size of the page of newspaper. One of the conditions subsequent at tached to the free admittance was that the holder of the pass should present it on the evening the posses
 or attended the Show of Shows and shou d present it "unbent". The stunt went over big. The appeal of the pass caused those who were given passes bearing Mir. Mahoney's signature, to carry them, out flat, to the local playhouse. The pass bearers attract ed a great deal of attention. The publicity venture served a several fold purpose: The passes were shown .. the store windows; the owners told friends about them; the bearers were seen carrying them to and into the theatre; the press gave the matter publicity: ard the populaee talked about what they saw. It was a cheap form of publicity for the manage ment and the results were we'll to- wards one hundred per cent. Evi- dence this further publicity twenty miles from where the stunt was pull led off.

To the many friends and alumni of Trinity College. Hartford. there is not a little interest in the article printed in Ire Living Church of Feb ruary 1st. describing in detail the magnificent new chapel which is tho gift of William c. Mather of Cleve- land. Ohio, and which will be com pleted in 1882. Trinity alumni in Putnam include Judge F. F. Russell, Rev. James F. English. J. J. White head, Jr., also Horatio Bradford of Thompson. The description of the new chapel is as follows:
 Work is under way on a new chap el for Trinity College that promises to be one of the architectural show pieces of this country, the aim of the donor. William G. Mather of Cleve- land, Trinity 1877. and member of the college board of trustees, being to give his Alma Mater building of rare beauty. worthy to be a House of God, not only as an ornament to the college but also tool-an oppor- tunity for real use by the students.
 Second only to this consideration in Mir. Mather's mind is thought to make of his gift means whereby Trinity men and their families may erect permanent memorial on the college campus for alumni Of the col lege who have died. Accordingly it is his intention not to complete all the details and the furnishing of the edifice. but to leave ample opportuni- ty for others to share with him in the privilege of making the chapel perfect. The architects. Frohman, Robb, and Little, of Boston and Washington. the architects of the National Cathedral, have taken cognizance of this desire, and in their plans have provided many opportunities for individual memo rials The architects have been work ing on the plans for year and half, and the building will be two years in construction, although it is expected that some use can be made of it dur ing the 1881 commencement.
 The building will be located on the north side of the quadrangle, already started by the Williams Memorial library and administration building, and will be connected with a future addition to this building by a triple archway entrance. over which will be a room. possibly to be known as the Founders Room. and to be used by certain of the undergraduate honor societies. The material of construc- tion will be stone. chosen to fit in with the material O. the existing build ings. which is brownstone.
 In total length, the chapel will be 1s0 feet. The nave and ehaneel will be g feet wide. and the choir SS feet. The height will be 54 feet from the ground to the ridge of the choir, with the chancel feet higher. The total height of the tower will be l63 seet. On the north side there is pro vision for side chapel 9 by 37 feet, to be used for small services. In all probability, this chapel will not be at once.
 On the south side, looking toward the campus, is an open eloister. The east end of the building overhangs the terrace that borders the campus, giving opportunity for a crypt below the chancel. and large choir room. There are three sacristies, and every

possible appointment to make con. venient the use of the building.
 In design. the crypt is of Norman architecture, giving a sense of fuuda- mental strength and solidity. The architecture in general is gothic after the manner of the English college chapels. The nave is in the style of the early thirteenth century, and the choir m that of the late thirteenth century. At the east end, and in the upper part of the tower, there Is a suggestion of the perpendicular goth ic. In the interior. the roof is support ed by heavy wooden trusses of ham, merbeam construction. the ceiling over the chancel will be richly decor ated in color. The floor will be of stone.
 The plans call for beautiful rose window at the west end. which, with the lower part of the tower windows. will be filled with geometrical tracery in stained glass. The tracery be- comes more flowing in the choir win dows. with a decided shift to the per pcndicular in the sacristies and chan eel.
 The chapel itself will seat approx imately 300 men in the choir. with the addition of 300 more outside of the rood screen. Built against the tower is an outdoor pulpit, for use in connection with open-air services on the campus.
 Gifts From England and Ireland
 Worked into the new chapel will be several pieces of ancient stone that will link Trinity, Hartford, with her sister Trinities of England and Ire land. and with the ancient English church. These include:
 The framework and mullions of a window that originally was in that part of Whitehall Palace built by Car dinal Wolsey. These stones have been owned by the college for forty-two years, and are a gift of former Hartford resident.
 From Trinity, Cambridge: a eorbel head from a building so old that it has been succeeded by one of the present venerable structures.
 The Missionary College of St. Augustine has sent two stones, one a piece of Roman tile from the Chapel of St. Paneras, which Is said to have been a pagan temple before it be- came a Christian church in the year 59s; the other a piece of Caen stone from Normandy. formerly a part of St. Ethelbert's Tower in the Abbey Church of St. Peter. St. Paul and S. Augustine. This church was built about 1Os0. Since the tile is Roman, it is believed that originally 1t rested in an ancient British church of Roman times that later became a pagan Sax on temple.
 From the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral: small piece of carved stone from the cathedral itself.
 From the churchyard wall at Sul- grave Manor, the original home of the Washington family: a stone which will serve as a reminder that the ori- ginal name of our college was Wash ington College.
 From Trinity College, Oxford: an old building stone.
 From the old Chapel at Trinity Col lege, Dublin: part of a pillar which was taken down about hundred years ago.
