MYSTERY DRAMA
 !. IS WELL ACTED
Fine Work By Little The ater in Thrilling "Re=
 mote Control"
THIS IS STATION WPH

Remote Control" done by the Little Theater players last night at Jacques theater, was perhaps one of the most finished performances by that group. For play of the type 1t was, the dialogue and action ran |along smoothly. There was noted a most fortunate selection in the mat ter of casting of the various types that the play demanded. The play was greeted with enthusiasm and the characters of the piece were given Ia fine ovation.
 Remote Control is by Clyde North, Albert Fuller, and Jack Nell son. It was whipped together in |splendid shape by the Little Theater's S director, Miss Helen Schoeni, who was capably assisted by her several committees. The chief characters of the play, who are principally men, did some especially fine work,
 Bernard Fucker playing the lead, Walter Brokenchild, worlds great est radio announcer, with true Gra- ham McNamee infection. He was the typical radio announcer through and through, playing Brokenchild with sincerity. He was unaffected and spontaneous, and was ably as- sisted by his co-worker in the radio studio, Helen Wright. we'll played by Miss Verna Bauck. The two did good team work. Miss Bauck the only important feminine character in the play. This was her first appear ance with, the Little Theater, and she was quite effectively cast as Helen Wright.
 The important characters, which were not few, were all out of the ordinary in the production. Joseph Mulcahy as Ralph Shugart, did a fine bit of acting as the. wise-crack- ing control engineer. MT Mulcahy has done some splendid work in pre- vious performances. His perform ance last night handed the audience many a laugh and he played the part with ease, getting in his smart re- marks with just the proper degree of expression. Norman Neale as Charles Golden and Carmine Cfpriano and Moran were also assets to the cast. John Stavnitzky. newcomer, was especially good as Bert Rupert, enigmatic in his portrayal but not giving away the trick. You might be listening in over your own radio when Doctor A. P. Workman started his spiritualistic talk over the radio.

New Haven, May 2S.-Dr George P. Clinton is experimenting with or dinary vaseline and paraffin. among other measures, in addition to studies of standa-d chemicals, to find a pro- lection of tiny chrysanthemum cut tings against two destructive wilt diseases.
 A Connecticut greenhouse owner had an order for several thousand plants of a particu- larly susceptible variety. Fearing in- jury by the two fungi, he asked ad- vice of Dr Clinton, botanist of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station.
 "The trick of raising healthy hot house chrysanthemums from cut tings of susceptible varieties is to find the fine balance where the heat and moisture help the plants grow, but discourage the fungi, which need moisture to propogate," Dr Clinton said to-day. "One disease creeps through the soil and attacks the stems and rots them. The other sends off spores that attach them selves to the leaves.

CAMP DIRECTOR

Seventy boys of the schools of Watertown gathered at the Conn- munity house last evening to look at the pictures of the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. boys camp as exhibited by Merritt Atwood, chairman of the Y. camp promotion committee of Watertown and William F. Briggs, camp director.
 The boys came as result of many letters and notices sent throughout the organizations of the town of Watertown. They thoroughly en- joyed the reel, showing active par- ticipation in camp events and asked numerous questions after the show ing. Enough boys have already sig nified their intention of signing up to make one Watertown tent, Mer- ritt Atwood expects at least another and possibly two by the time camp opens.
 This publicity work is part of the program of the camp promotion committees work. This committee has taken over the work of inter- viewing boys throughout the city regarding attendance at the camp. Thirteen members of the commit tee represent thirteen sections of Waterbury. Each member of the committee is attempting to tell par ents and boys in their section about the splendid opportunity offered parents at the Y camp because of the high grade leadership made up of college men and the splendid equipment which makes strong appeal to boys.
 Each section sets up camp movie show when the pictures taken at the Y camp showing sactivities with the Waterbury boys as actors are thrown on the screen. Beside the Watertown show last evening the movies were shown in the west side section in the home of Asa Burr, in Middlebury under the aus pices of the Congregational church at the Fairmount Community Club and at the Oakvil1e school.

John Yampanus, and John Merle Hosdowich, completed the cast. One set is used for the entire ac- |tion, this being the radio studio oi WPH in a Chicago hotel. The radio equipment and all technical devices flashes and buzzes made for real radio atmosphere. There was a pleasing mixture of radio features comedy, and then the suspense caused by the announcing of the op- |erations of the "Ghost Gang" hold-up in act one and murder ir act two are just some of the incl dental business in play filled witt moments of suspense from begin. ming to. end. The cast kept the ac- |tion moving and there was finish to. 2 the. entire production decidedly professional in tone.
 Music between. the acts was fur nished by the Little Theater ensem- ble, composed of Ruth Jones, piano; Gladys Hegarty, first violin; Lois Beach, second violin; Mabel Bach man, viola, and Esther Hosdowich, cello.
 The bat (by himselD, and not in the script, also added atmosphere, concentrating on the wings and hover ing over the heads of the actors but in no manner disconcerting them. The play will be repeated tonight.

treatments to see which would give the best control and found that po- tassium sulfide protected cuttings alongside of others that became in- Ifected. The root development was excellent, and the potassium may have provided nutrient in addition to protection.
 Tt seems that potassium sulfide jsprayed on the chrysanthemums once or twice a week is sufficient to con- trol the wilt, but we must wait for further experiments before we can say definitely. Acetic acid or forma- Hin in the soil will likewise control
 the diseases, but either of these is
 more expensive and more difficult to apply"
 | Cuttings whose stems or tips of stems were dipped in paraffin in the Expectation that infection would thus be avoided, failed to get enough
 water and so died. Stems covered with vaseline failed for the same reason. In another experiment the |sand was washed to clear away pos sible toxins, and some nutrient essen- tial to growth also was washed out. The cuttings died.

George F. Wildman acted this part Ito perfection, both in manner and voice. Sergeant Devine, the hotel detective, was made very real by
 Fred Green, and J. Warren Upson in his short appearance as Professor
 Murrey, instructor of health exer- |cises, precipitated a bunch of laughs.
 His lesson given in reclining po- |sition for a supposedly energetic pastime was one of the high spots of the performance. The role of Oak wood was played by William J. Pape, who finds a clue but the wrong one. This was MT Pape's first ap- pearance with the players.
 There were many other minor characters who added to the success of the play. Mrs Eric Pape; acting Ia studio pianist, was quite in char |acter. Florence Doyle opened the
 show with an excellent tap dance.
 and Paulette Wolozin, capable so- [prano, soloist, led the Junior League
 ensemble very nicely. These ladies
 of the ensemble did their stuff, espe-
 cially in the hold-up scene, in a sat-

FILTER EXPLAINS
HOW TO OBTAIN
NATTY WARDROBE

Thorough investigation into the
details of his wardrobe seemed not
to embarrass Frank Filter. %, when
he was held before Judge Kendall
B. Perkins in police court yesterday
afternoon on charge of vagrancy,
nor did a sentence of 10 days in the
county Jail or fine Of $40 seem
to bother him much.
Joe Curtis. 23 had just finished
telling Judge Perkins how to make
a slot machine pay when Filter was
called upon TO explain ways and
means of getting wardrobe without
paying for it, and without stealing
1t.
Curtis was sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 or serve five days in
Jail on a charge of vagrancy after
he had instructed Judge Perkins in
the fine art of knocking more slugs
from slot machine than the
makers intended. He himself, had
never been able to do 1t, said Curtis.
but he had watched others who had
greater success.
When his turn came. Filter ex-
planned to the court that all Of his
clothes. with the exception of his
shirt, had been given to him. A
man must have clothes, he explain
ed. and unless he steals or buys
them they must be donated. He was
well dressed.
The matter of black cap both
cred Filter. 1t had been given to
him by local store keeper, he ex-
planned. but he went on to say that
he did not like the cap, because of
its color. As soon as he can get
another he intends to get rid of it,
Filter said.
His sweater and shoes we're also
donations from local store keepers,
stated the prisoner. His trousers
had been given him by landlady
in Yuma, and he bought his shirt
In Tucson for dollar. The tie
and socks were missed in this in
ventory.
Judge Perkins imposed an inde-
terminate sentence of 10 days in
Jail while officers investigate the
wardrobe.
