Af1er hearing the glowing com ments passed on the performance given by the North End Thomas club minstrel show in Torirngton last night, members and officers feel confident that Waterbury will witness one of the outstanding pro- auctions of the season when it is repeated in Buckingham hall to- morrow night. The show was pre- sented in the Sacred Heart church hall last night at request of Rev William Botticelli. former assistant pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes church here and as one of the show members put it, the spectators "were hanging from the rafters."
 Comedy, harmony and novelty are three features of the Thomas club show which have been mixed to- gether for the creation of a produc- tion that is bound to please the se- verest of critics. Comedy will be supplied aplenty by two of the North Ends most popular sons, Cliff Me- Hale and Joe Corideo. When Cliff starts to cut up he needs no scis- sors and the manner in which he puts over a song number leaves nothing to be desired. Joe, his part ner. has only recently gone into the black face racket but his style was so unique that he became im- mediately popular as an entertainer.

OBITUARY,
TRIBUTE TO LATE
 JOSEPHINE SHUGRUE

Ine deatns or MISS Josephine Shugrue, member of the teaching department of city for over a quar- ter of century, brings a profound feeling of regret to a large circle of friends, co-workers. and ex- pupils Miss Shugrue's death removed from the city's teaching staff an instruc- tor of rare personal charm and pro fessional ability. She taught in the primary department of Driggs and Duggan schools, where she was greatly loved. No teacher possessed greater humane qualities, her ehari- ty and efforts on behalf of others being we'll. known in her circle of personal friends.
 deadly influenza in our city during wartime, Miss Shugrue's work among the suffering was heroic. She personally cared for an infant whose parents were both stricken and through her loving and tender care, saved its fragile little life.
 A tireleSs worker on behalf of education and humanity, she was, to use a newly coined, apt expression, a "go-giver," in its highest sense.
 Always self-effacing, her con stant efforts undermined her health, and she has been a shining example of Christian fortitude in illness for the past seven years. Through all kept her figuratively affiliated with the educative nnomements of the city and state.
 There was sinculcated in Miss Shugrue's character, a graceful bouyancy and perseverance that endeared her to all " a light, the glory of which death can never fully efface. This light her friends, .co- workers, and pupils were privileged to share, and its blessed radiance will be one of their sacred possess sions. '.
