They separate, to meet later and
fall in love, though Bennett be-
lieves himself married to another
girl of the same name. The D
love affair of June Delight Jones
and Alfred Moseley, the hotel
clerk, attracted almost as much
interest as the main plot.
The actors had their parts well
memorized and the play moved
on without a hitch, reflecting
credit both on the performers and
on their director, Mrs. Tom Kelly.

MAR. II EARLIEST FOR
RIVER ICE BREAKUP

The threatened river breakup
Of the early part Of the week
caused a search of the Herald
files to discover if the ice had
ever gone out in February. From
the records it appears that Mar.
II, in 1926, is the earliest date in
the last fifteen years for the
breakup. Jimmy Boyd, however,
recalls that many years ago the
ice went out in February and the
river a clear for a time and
then froze up again. Dates for
the breakup are as follows.

women magazine writers, tonic and beauty cream manufacturers agents and women who have precocious children whom they want to put into the movies, but interviews never bothered him, according to Mrs. Lee. He always looks upon reporters as just so many more Al Jolsons' with whom he can romp, and he romped with the boys last night
 Deycy had great time in New London. He met Commander Bay liSs or th" Sub Base school, and the CoICE.GlGc.' took Davey down into a submarine. When they emerged from the hold. the commander and Davey were fast friends, and the visit that was scheduled for Is minutes stretched into three hours, and the commander told Davey that if he ever needed a home to let him know and Davey could live with him always.
 Davey replied by telling the com mander that he was just like Daddy Jolson" That was about as great compliment as Davey could ever give any person. In fact, it was the first time that Davey had ever told any person that he was as good as Al Jolson, according to Mrs. Lee.
 Davey will go to Indianapolis, Ind. from this city, New Britain being one of the six cities to entertain Davcy before he returns to Holly wood in October to start another picture.
 Davcy is as near a 100 per cent typical American boy as one could ind. He is natural. His ability last night to select the one reporter of the four present as a playfellow who would not mind being used as a "giddap, horsey," or the receiving end of @ game Of bunt and push, showed an uncanny power of intui- ton or sclectivity.
 Davey will start school in Holly wood when he returns.
 T want to work with Daddy Al. l don't want to go to school" he said.
 Which makes him about 1O1 per cent American boy.

FAMOUS BOY STAR
 OF F|LNLAND HERE:
DaVey Lee Comes to New Britain
 for Stage Engagement

David Lee of Hollywood, Califor- nia, is in New Britain.
 To movie fans, this means that little Dayey Lee is here for a three days visit, and will appeal this afternoon and evening, and also on Friday and Saturday at the Strand theater, but, as he told a Herald re- porter last night in his room at the Burritt hotel, he is not going to try to make them cry this time.
 DaVey Lee, recognized by all mo- ton picture critics as the most nat ural and most representative real American boy that has ever appear ed on the screen, not even excepting the famous Jackie Coogan in JaCkie's most popular days, arrived in New Britain about 9:15 last night, being brought here from Berlin in an automobile, after hot and sticky ride in the train from New York
 Scarcely had David and his mother, Mrs. Ella May Lee, regis tered and been shown to their room when a troop of newspapcrmen en- tered the hotel in search of Davey Mrs. Lee was notified.
 "Why, Davey is ready for bed, but-well, surely Send them right up. Davey likes company"
 So Davey entertained the reporters in dishablle and had as wonderful q time for nearly a half hour as he had when he was playing in his two big pictures, sonny Boy" and Sing ing Fool" with the famous co-star Al Jolson-"Daddy AL" as Davey calls him.
 Mrs. Lee. who did much of the talking in the interview because Davcy was busy turning somersaults from one twin bed to the other, told of Davey's love for his work, and of his love for Jolson. She spoke of his desire to face the camera con- 1 tinually and mentioned Daveys big brother.
 The reporters were tossing Davey over their shoulders and having as lively a time as though they were playing with a huge kitten, but N44tIl -hiS Lee liltLllOutu lIldl l1G big brother Frank. was freshman in the University of California, the reporters gasped. Mrs. Lee looks like a woman who might have grad uated from college about two or three years ago, and then the re- porters, looking at Davey's plump form and ruddy skin Che weighs 47 pounds) and then looking at Mrs Lee, admittedly more than 30,'' realized that there must be some thing to the assertion that the sum- . shine of California is pretty nice. Davey Lee has been interviewed by a great many newspaper men and

A perusal Of the Benet poem reveals
that the viewpoint of the principal char

THE PASSION PLAY.
RECLINING Monday, October az, and
- for six days, the original Passion
Play from Freiburg, Baden, Germany,
will be presented daily at washington
Auditorium.
The Passion Play" Is essentially
Teutonic from the land Of Wagner,
the land Of Grimm, and land Of tragedy.
1t was not created. 1t grew. Centuries
of religious fervor tradition and develop
nent are behind 1t. 1t is the culmina-
ton OF years OF preparation for the
portrayal, with sincerity and reverence,
Of "the greatest story ever told"
In many remote villages Of conti-
mental Europe, passion plays, depicting
the crucifixion and resurrection, are
regularly portrayed. Only two. how
ever, attract the general attention Of
the world. These are the Oberammer-
vo1Y v,rneanka kin,, S,a AIaa Eovawia,n vyilia O.
Of that name, and the Freiburg play,
stepped in the traditions and lore Of the
city Of Freiburg and the Black Forest Of
Baden, the former being presented only
for brief period every 10 years. by
peasants, farmers, makers of pottery,
untraveled, but skilled and taught by
centuries Of tradition in the art Of act
ing.
Europe Of all the passion plays. Is the
Freiburg version, which for centuries
has been intimately connected with the
city Of Freiburg, where it was first pre-
sented in the year 1854, more than 400
years before the discovery of America
and 500 years before the establishment
Of the famous Oberammergau play
Ffeiburg now Is q center Of culture,
seat Of one Of the great European uni
versities, Freiburg University-no less
famous for its art. In consequence, the
Freiburg play has grown up, not only
with O city, but with great university,
and long ago became the most sophisti-
Gated. from an artistic viewpoint, Of all
OF the European passion plays. The
players are not villagers, nor peasants;
most Of them are thoroughly educated
artists, trained from childhood. For 40
years under Mr.. Fassnacht's manage
Inent, the play has toured Europe
almost continuously, and as now pre-
sented on the first tour Of the United
states. the drama represents not only
700 years Of tradition, but also bears
evidence Of the exquisite art Of modern
schools and stagecraft.
