DEMOCRATS LOOK
 FOR PROPER HALL
New London Feels Certain It @ Will Get Convention

New London. July A P-In the expectation that this city will be de- cided upon as the site for the forth coming democratic state convention for the nonination of a state ticket. local leaders. of the party have be- gun casting about for a convention hall. The state central committee will fix the time and place of the convention at meeting July 31 and State Central Committeeman Alton I. Miner Of this city is expected to make a strong plea for the selection of this city.
 It was pointed out today that the convention must be held before Sep- tember 15 and that if it was held carly in the month the Griswold Hotel at Eastern Point would make an ideal convention headquarters. The Griswold is scheduled to close soon after Labor Day but local dem ocrats are of the opinion that the hotel mana cement could be induced to extend the closing date a few days in order that the convention might be held there.
 In this city proper the state armory and the Danceland casino and Wordel's pavilion at Ocean Beach adjoining 1t are large enough to house the delegates and guests and in the event that one of these two places should be chosen, con- vention headquarters could be estab- llshed at one of the several local hotels.

AT THE STRAND

AS natural a picture as has been seen on the screen in some time. replete with bah the comic anl pathetic moments of life, is on view at the Strand theater with five acts of select vaudeville, in the form of Metro o-Goldwyn- Mayors The Richest Man in the World" which marks the initial scneen appearance of Louis Mann, veteran of the stage.
 The reasons for the life-laie qualities of this picture lie in the simplicity of it's story of an old German barber who has diff culties in raising large brood of children, and the effective per formances upon the part of Louis Mann in the central role and FL liott Nugent, Leila Hyams. Robert Montgomery, Francis X, Bushman, Jr, Mary Doran and Jean Wood as the youthful members of the cast.
 The story might be the hiogra- phy of any number of immigrants who come to this country and sacrifice themselves in the attempt to give their children a better start in life than they had.
 Sam Wood deserves a big hani for his direction which gives the right proportion to characterization without impeding the action of the plot.
 On the vaudeville bill the Strand presents for Thursday, Friday and Saturday the feature act, Accorde- ana, featuring Gene Margini in musical and dancing revue. The Warmers in "A Family Affair brings you a great laugh. Gatchett and Hooper The Manoeuvres" The Three Westergards in "Equilibrists De Luxe" Symbols of Arte with Denis and Eyon- Nina Claire, Gene Schwartz, an9 the Delmar Sisters in a clever singing and dancing treat
