THE BIRTH OF
 ROBERT EMMET

To-day marks the anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmet, who was executed in Dublin in 1903 for mak- ing an effort to bring about the separation of Ireland from Great Britain. The day is observed in most cities all over the world where there are residents of Irish birth or blood. Some time ago Waterbury societies used to celebrate the event by ban- quet and suitable addresses.
 CROWDS CONTINUE TO
 FLOCK TO THE MISSION Crowds still continue to attend the mission at St Francis Xavier church, which opened Sunday and will close Monday night. The sub- ject of the sermons last night was "Death". One would think that the storm would deter many from going out this morning, but there was no evidence of a falling off at the 5:30 and 6:30 o'clock masses.

Jimmy Lakes
Show at Gayety

It's here, Jimmy Lakes own
show, and even if you never see
another burleSque show, don't
fail to go to the Gayety this
week. This is absolutely the best
production to have played here
this year.
Manager Lake turns actor this
week and shows that he hasn't
forgot how, in his turn with Joe
Moss, a Washington comedian.
Three extremely pretty girls,
Lilly Dixon. Olga Petrone and
Marie Forbes add to the beauty
of the attraction. all possessing
considerable dancing and singing
ability.
For comedians, besides Joe
Moss, the revue, boasts of Charles
Cole, Bill Moran, and Harry Mar
tine. Cole, with his hat throwing
act and MARITIME with his Jug
Cling, prove to be Skillful as well
as comical.
Rose Sinclair on the xylophone
and Donna. prima donna, also
are well worth anyone'S time.
Tommy Breen, acrobatic dancer
lends his talent to the perform
ance.
An added attraction, a colored
dancing team, Hattie and
Brownie" seemed to please the
customers very much. So many
numbers did the show have that
at lasted about 20 minutes longer
IAN the usual time.

FINE RECITAL
GIVEN BY
HOFMANN

A nearly an-classical program
was presented Saturday night at
Constitution Hall by the dis
tinguished pianist, Josef Hof-
mann.
Mr.. Hofmann appeared here
earlier this winter as a guest
soloist with the Boston Symphony
and a brief taste of his wares
then whetted the appetite for
more.
A highly technical composition
of Bach, the Prelude and Fugue
in D Major, arranged for the
piano by D'Albert was chosen by
Mr.. Hofmann for his opening
number and displayed his skill as
we'll as anything that followed.
A group of Chopin selections,
including the Nocturne in c
sharp made up the body of the
program and were probably the
best enjoyed. He returned to
Chopin again at the close of the
evening when the audience in
sisted upon several encores.

ing, Mother of mercy, is this
the last of Rico?" A wholly
worthy finish for a terrifying
character.
About all of this the atmos-
phere of reality clings because no
attempt has been made to glorify
or make other than infamous a
sinister figure lacking in appeal
or redeeming quality. Here, by
the grace of Hollywood and Ed
ward G.. RobinSon's magnificent
acting, is Rico. The dominating
character in the w. r. Burnett
fiction is one you will not desire
for social acquaintance, but fol-
lowing his career, step by step, is
as absorbing as turning the pages
Of a good detective story.
Handy With "The Rod"
Rico's courage and sneering
bravado is donned when he
flaunts his gun, his craven fear
uncovered when he fills with
lead on the steps of a. church, the
pal who would go straight, but is
never given half a chance. Those
who yield to romance or soft
sentiment Rico brands as SiSSies,
his standard for leadership those
"who can dish it out and take it. :"
He sends the most imposing floral
piece and rides in the mourner'S
carriage for one of the victims
of his Workmanship. Finally,
from a tlingy flop house where
he has been a fugitive in hiding
he is lured to his death by po-
lice taunts about cowardice which
offend his vanity.

sudden death of the man before

beauty and charm and sophisti-

clever situations. The remaining

concerned.
Delicate Situations

deals in some rather delicate

all manner of interesting and
intriguing political results, not
the least of which is a final tri-

through the enactment of tariff and
other emergency laws. rs
This tendency to think and act
along strictly national lines at q time

Pearson, is a phenomenon of the pres
ent phase of the depression. Great
Britain. by decisiveiy abandoning its
traditional policy of free trade, ap-
parently sounded the signal for q gen
eral retreat behind tariff Malls-a
movement which at the moment seems
to be based chiefly on the idea of let

normal importations" act, which au-
thorizes the president of the Board of
