There was the Lawyer in the City, he was

And the clerk in the drug store-he was the

GEORGE ARLISS HERE
 IN TALKING "DISRAELF

Friday and Saturday at the Brad ley Theatre, Warner Brothers pre- sent George Arliss in "Disraeli," a Vitaphone production. This is a talking screen version of the play Of the same name in which Mir. Arliss starred for four years. There Is no doubt but that it will be at the head of the list of the seasons finest pro- ductions and even that Is faint praise for such film as "Disraeli.'
 Mir. Arliss, of course, is perfect. A role of this sort requiring subtle shad- ing, personal charm and mental power is just a natural one for this great actor. His performance is a delight to the eye and the ear. Naturally his voice is splendid.
 He is we'll assisted by most cap able cast. Chief among the members are Florence Arliss, wife of the star Joan Bennett, who is exquisitely beau tiful as we'll as clever; Anthony Bush ell. an interesting new leading man !; Ivan Simpson; an old trouper and a good one: David Terrence, an excellent ''heavyn; and Doris Lloyd, charming and sly in the role of the spy.
 The story deals with one of the most exciting periods of Disraell g eareer-the time when he fought against all opposition to obtain the Suez Canal for England. Later his opponents realized that he was cor rect and his Queen decorated him for the coup in acquiring acquisition of the canal

TWO KILLED BY
 AUTOS LAST YEAR
Twenty-Three Less Accidents Reported From Putnam
 Than in 1928
Total Deaths Same Throughout State
 But Fewer Accidents

Putnam had eighty-seven automo- bile accidents in 1929, tweuty-three less than in 1928, although 1928 was free from fatal accidents while two were reported in 1929. These are figures given out by the state motor vehicle department.
 Other towns in the eastern part of Windham county reported as follows: Eastford, five accidents in both 1928 and 1929; none of them fatal acci- dents; Killingly l0s accidents in 1929 to l05 the previous year. Eight of the accidents last year were fatal while but two were fatal in 1928. Pomfret had but sixteen accidents last year to thirty the year before and was free from fatal accidents both years. Thompson reported thirty-three last year to fifty the year before, having four fatal accidents in each year. Woodstock had thirteen accidents in 1929 to twelve in 1928. No fatal acci dents last year and but one in 1928.
 The total fatalities throughout the state was the same for the two years, 466. There was, however, an increase in the number of towns free from deaths due to automobiles. Warren and Weston were free from reportable motor vehicle accidents of any kind.
 Deaths the Same
 The total Of accidents for 1929 was 25,1T7. This is 126 below the number reported in 1928, and represents the first annual decrease since records of accidents have been compiled by the department Reports from towns in many cases indicated considerable decrease in accidents during the last half of 1929. Thsi was mainly because of a change in the law, which became effective July 1, 1929, eliminating the necessity for reporting accidents which caused damage of less than $25.00. The accident for 1929 in nearly all towns were affected by this law.
