BEST DRAMAS HERE,
 ANHALTS PURPOSE
Producer Explains His Aim With
 New York Players

That this section of the state of higher plane of intelligence and cul- ture than any similar section Of the country of the same size, is the be- lief of Lawrence I. Anhalt, who, with his brother, J. J. Anhalt, brought the New York Players to the Capitol theater.
 Discussing his conclusions after a survey of New Britain, Meriden. Bristol, Middletown and other com- munities near here, Mir. Anhalt said: We selected this section of Connec- ticut to revive the spoken drama in the best tradition of the American theater, because observation and record revealed the fact that the percentage of intelligence, education and culture here was and is quite a bit higher than in any similar con- 1nunity of its size that we have sur Neyed. Another reason for our choice is that our summer home is in Con- nccticut, some 30 miles from our lheater.
 Now that we arc here on the scene, however, l often wonder just how practical the culture of these communities is" Mir. Anhalt added. From his pocket he produced sev- cral letters commenting the players on the opening production and the bill being offered this week. we have evidence that your citys sup port of our program is intense but, unfortunately that is not enough. We feel that more de-spread en- 1husiasm is warranted even when we take into consideration a number of factors that are undoubtedly work ing against us.
 Do the people of New Britain and its surrounding towns want inane entertainment? Do they want to continue having to take long. tir- ing trips to New York for their theatrical fare or will they, by their patronage and moral sympathy, sup port the legitimate theater - the spoken drama presented in good taste, by the best actors obtainable from Broadway theaters, and repre- SpItll ll!t illcSI uintlllS 6 uioiiNu American playwrights. This we are bringing to their very doors, right here in New Britain. No answer is necessary.

'It is truly American in it's texture, in locale and dramatic treatment. It is an cXquisitely writ ten play. poignant and tensely dra- matic, although sprinliled with in telligent humor. It is for theater- goers of intelligence and taste.

TOM WALSH WILL HAVE CALEN'S SCALP
If PRESENT DEPRESSION CONTINUES--U.P P.

S. district attorney-Judge Rod
gers is regarded as a formidable
candidate.
Developments since the repub-
lican state central committee draft
ed Associate Justice Albert j. Ga
len as the logical standard bearer
to fight it out with Senator T. j.
Walsh bear familiar earmarks of
other campaign.
If comment from the democratic
press is a criterion, the Bourbons
are striving to undermine republic
can unity by sowing a few seeds
of discomfort hither and yon.
One leading democratic organ
pooh-poohs at the sincerity of ex-
Governor Dixon's endorsement of
Justice Galen. 1t hints rather
badly that Republican National
Committeeman Schnitzler obtained
the endorsement by sounding the
clarion cry of party loyalty-only
such plea, it points out, could
sooth purported personal differ
ence between Dixon and the asso-
ciate justice.
The Democratic leaders are
strengthening Walsh's political
fences turnout the state. Thew
seem convinced that Justice Galen
is strong opponent quite capable
OF giving the veteran solon a run
for his money.
Walsh himself has not been in
active in securing increased use of
lamb in the messes of the army
and navy, thus tending 10 strength
en- the lamb market.

TOWNLEY RIDLEY
DEBATE ATTRACTS.
FAIR AUDIENCE.

About one hundred and fifty
citizens of Sheridan County en-
joyed a two-hour clash between
A. c. Townley, president of the
American Temperance League
and the Rev. Caleb Ridley, last
Sunday in the Farmer-Labor Tenn
pie.
Townley spoke in opposition to
prohibition and in favor of gov
eminent manufacture and sale of
liquor at cost while Ridley stood
for the prohibition law and de-
Tended it against all criticism.
Tho the audience was over
whelmingly in favor of Townley's
position, DR.. Ridley was given a
cordial reception. Ridley is a
hide-bound reactionary and rung
the changes on every Bourbon
principle" from "pure woman
hood" to white supremacy.
Townley drew an uproarious
laugh when he asked those in the
audience who did not know how
to make moonshine or homebrew
to stand up. Nobody stood of
course and then Townley assumed
that if there were any who did
not know how to violate the 18th
amendment, they were ashamed to
admit it.
There were no heavy arguments
advanced for or against prohibi-
ton. The audience was in a mood
to be amused and they were not
| disappointed.

The senatorial situation still
monopolizes Montana's political
stage but other developments mer-
it some comment.
In western Montana, some spec
ulation has been aroused over
the candidacy of Mark P. Fitzger-
raid, Stevensville dairyman, for
the republican nomination for con-
gresham from the first district.
This is Fitzgarrald's second try.
He was the republican nominee
two years ago but met defeat at
the hands of the veteran demo-
cratic incumbent, John M. Evans
of Missoula.
A rather amusing situation has
developed in the race for the re-
publican nomination to the state
railroad commission. The incum-
bent, Leonard c. Young, will be
opposed by William L. Young of
Wolf Point. The question is, how
will the casual voter distinguish
the Identities of the two Youngs +?
Incidentally, William L. cuts a
wide swath in northeastern Mon
tana, according to report, and as
his section of the state has had
little representation in state of
fees of late, it is likely he will
receive the added impetus of Sec
tional support.
Judge Henry G. Rodgers has an
nounced himself as a candidate
for the republican nomination to
the office of associate justice of
the state supreme court. AS a
Montana resident for 36 years and
as the holder of many public of
fices-they include district Judge,
county attorney, state representa-
tive, city attorney, clerk of the u.

Burley's Version of
Hass Murder Fell Down
And w e mt B O ON

When news of the Hass
murder reached Scobey, Bur-
ley Bowler Immediately sat
down to his typewriter and
pegged out a story of the
crime, entirely in keeping with
that Briton's capacity for ly-
ing and prevarication.
Burley decided that the MUIR
der was, or should have been
committed by Rodney Sails
bury and "Nig" Collins, so he
had Oscar Collins track the
death car" from the office of
: The Producers News to Out
look.
Bowler thot he had a hot
: tip so he was not satisfied
with having the story set in
type but he went to the coun-
: ty commissioners of Daniels
county and told them about it.
"Now we have Salisbury" he
chuckled.
Unfortunately for Burley
: and his yarn Wanda Hass con-
: fessed to the homicide so Bur-
ley had to kill his story.
When Burley heard of Wan
: da's confession he came to
Plentywood to see Bill Hass.
; It is reported that he had an
interview with Bill and tried
to hi-jack him out of some
= money. "I'll kill the story for
$780," Burley is supposed to
have told Bill. "I never pay
hush money" was Bills reply.
Bill wanted to have Wanda
sent to an asylum lest some
things he wants kept a dark
secret might come TO light.
And he knew that it would
not do any good to have Bur-
ley kill the story if the Pro-
= ducers News came out with it.
+ When Burley failed he re-
= turned crestfallen to Scobey
= and copied The Producers
News story about the Hass
murder and ran it in the Dan
= iels County Leader.
= That's Burley.

have a fight in the primaries in
that state. The national interest
in his fortunes arises from the
fact that he is a recognized leader
of the progressive bloc and there
fore exerts a vital influence on the
senatorial balance of power. He
also is chairman of the Senate
judicial committee.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic floor leader, member
of the United States delegation to
the London naval conference, will
return to find that strong fight
is developing against him in the
state primaries based on the fact
that Robinson's law firm has been
counsel for important electric pow
err companies. This his opponents
allege makes him an ally in the
Senate of the so-called power
trust"
The Republicans now hold %
and the Democrats Is of the seats
to be filled in the November cleo
tions and political history would
indicate the probability that the
Democrats may gain a few seats.
Nine of the Democrat seats are
in the solid south where Demo
cratic success is proverbial. The
others are from states listed
"doubtful"-Tennessee, Iowa, Mon

Democrats are considered to

Ou1ISU TGSS Quail correspondent
Washington, April 16- UP
Thirty-five seats to be filled in
the Senatorial elections next No
vember include many of those now
occupied by the most powerful of
picturesque figures in American
public life-among them William
j. Borah of Idaho, Arthur CappeT
of Kansas, Carter Glass of Vlr-
ginia, James Couzens of Michigan,
Thomas j. Walsh of Montana, Pat
Harrison of Mississippi, George
w. Norris of Nebraska and Joseph
t. Robinson of Arkansas.
Senator Borah's succession to
himself seems to be taken fol-
certain, as his home state basks
in a reflected national glory as
the result of his powerful position
at the capitol.
Senator Walsh of Montana
comes from a state where a bit
ter partisan struggle is expected
and his political prospects now
are thought to be uncertain. Walsh
was the chief figure in developing
the Teapot Dome oil disclosures
and was widely considered as
possible Democratic presidential
candidate in 1928. His politica
fortunes therefore have a nationa
interest.
Senator Couzens is uniq u I
in the Senate from the fact tina
he has been able 10 identify him
self as a progressive" notwith
standing the fact that he comes
from the state of Michigan which
has tremendous industrial inter
ests.
