LITTLE THEATER
 CREWS ARE BUSY
Scenery and Sets for "The Truth About Blayds"
 Almost Completed
POSSIBLE COMING PLAYS

The construction crew has had it's personnel augmented by the late arrival of Dr Hetzel. The econ omic problems confronted by the chief-of- staff, Warren Upson, in creating out of old materials what might appear to tho layman as n gilded, glistening interior setting, are partly solved. Flats from previous shows, in this case from "The Devil in the Cheese" arc talk en and doctored up so that they may be used as a suitable set ting for "The Truth About Blayds." With all the hard work construc- ton entails, the crew manages to enjoy themselves thoroughly Tues- day is tho date set for tho com pletion of the scenery and after that the scene painters will get to work on 1t. .....
 Miss Verna Bauck, costume critic and wardrobe appraiser. who was chiefly responsible for the spec tacular costume of the little god Min in "The Devil in the Cheese" reports that on Sunday the CO.'S tunes to be worn by the cast will be determined. Clothes make tho actor as well as tho man to n greut extent. A dress which might seem to be most becoming in n drawing room can look like last years made-over frock on the stage. Street clothes do not necessarily express "stago character" For the audience to receive tho cor rect impressions of the clothes worn by the actors, they should sec at n distance the outlines of the costumes. The critic has to bring into prominence that part fo the costume which Is most significant and representative of the character being played.
 For the February bill the play reading committee Is considering Philip Barry's "Hotel Universe and Holiday" Galsworthy's "Loy- alties" and Sutton Vane's "Out- ward Bound" Miss Marion Hunt. chairman of the committee, will welcome any suggestions of pref erence from members. All of these plays require an experienced cast and Miss Schoeni, the director, looks forward to this bill as the big performance of the year.

Second MurderH Here h 1881 Cleared
 With Confession
Delinkaits Admits Shooting MT and Mrs John Kviet-
 kus-Balanda and Alling Praised

The confession of John Delin- kaitis, 37, to the effect that he was responsible for the shooting of John Kvietkus, 55, and his wife, Anna, 50, has cleared up the cir cumstances in connection with Wa terbury's second murder of 1881. Delinkaitis has assumed all re- sponsibility for the death of Kvietkus, who died in St Mary's hospital several days following the shooting. Mrs Kietkus is still in the hospital, but is expected to re- cover. Delinkaitis broke down late Thursday afternoon and con fessed to the double shooting. He claims that he went to the Kvietkus home merely to frighten the couple and not with the intentions of kill Ing either one. It is his alibi that he intended to intimidate the two for permitting his wife to visit there and to meet persons that he did not like. The police, however,

New York, Jan 2-Next Satur. day the 32nd national automobile show will be revealed in Grand Central Palace, with nearly three hundred cars and chasscs, and a huge display of bodies, accessories, shop equipment exhibits: also com mWrcial vehicles. The exhibitors on four fors of tho large exhibition building, promise something ex- eeptionaI this season. Automotive engineering experts and those who have obtained advance views of the new cars at the factories, positive ly declare that this season will mark an epoch In motor car con- struction. They call attention not only to the progress made during the last five years, but In one year. This will make the display truly interesting to the average visitor.
 Very few, other than those d. rectly engaged in the industry, are perhaps, cognizant of wherein the automobile of five years ago differs from that of the present day. This is duo to gradual, rather than sud. den or radical changes In desi gn of the chassis, bodies, equipment and accessories. Nevertheless, the car of to-day is markedly different. n vast improvement In every detail upon tho vintage of 1927. This con trast would be more emphasized, not only to the eye, but in values and in prices if the cars were placed side by side. Even a casual examination would disclose numer- ous inherent values and provision for riding comfort and almost mag ical case and quiet and security Of the various controls, tho new de- vices for the absorption of road shocks, silencing of carburetors, more beautiful body lines. intensi. flying the familiar suggestion. or winged fleetness and the most im- portant development of the past de- cade--free- -wh ceiling.
 It is quite true that many i1ve year old cars are still running, but thousands of these have reached their last legs stage or the point where upkeep cost is too great. A large percentage of such will be re- placed by the models of 1882.

for the present are not trying to dispute his statement, but later ex- pect to obtain a different version of the murder.
 The solution of the case reflects creditably on the persistent efforts of Lieutenant Matthew Balanda and County Detective Roland All- ing. For over two weeks they as- sisted Coroner John T. Monzani in
 his probe of q number of tips and
 the stories of Mrs Kvietkus. Delin-
 kaitis was arrested in Ansonia
 where he found refuge after the shooting. The finding of a loaded
 .32 calibre gun under the mattress
 of his bed was the first clue linking
 him with the crime. The weapon and other information obtained by
 the police proved sufficient to in-
 criminate the accused.
 According to Delnkaitis' own
 story he went to the home of the
 Kvietkus family on Welland ave- nue early Saturday evening, De- cember 12. As he entered the
 house Mrs kvietkus confronted
 him. She dropped to the floor when he fired. MT Kvietkus who had been sitting at table in the
 kitchen rushed toward him and he
 fired again. After wounding the couple he visited couple of speak
 easies and spent the night in q vacant tenement in the Brooklyn
 district. The next morning he went | to the home of Mrs Nellie Butkel- vicz of 2S Wooster street Ansonia, where he was found by the police and placed under arrest.
 Delinkaitis in his statements de- nied that he wore q mask at the time of the shooting. It was Mrs kvietkus contention that the gum man who shot her was masked | She at first incriminated neigh bor Joseph Blenstrudas, who was arrested on the night of the shoot | ing and held for nearly two weeks | without bonds. From the start hf protested his innocence. When MT.
 Kvietkus retracted her story abou' | him he was released He has since | filed suit of $10,000 against tho woman for false arrest.

 Suit Against City
Baldwin Street Theater Owner Claims Entrance Lower
 Than Roadway Permits Water to Flow In

street was raised about foot. 1cav- ing the entrance to the theater low CT than the street level.
 As result, water from the street is alleged to course into the building during every rain storm, rendering the inside permanently in damp condition. The property has diminished in value to the extent of $5,000 damage, the suit charges.
 The complaint states the city changed the grade on Baldwin street on November 10, 1891 and raised 1t about 10 inches in front of the theater. The entrance Is made difficult of access and steps will have to be constructed to per- init q propery entrance, the suit says. One Mir Kish of New Ha- ven was to open tho theater on November 15 but was unable to do so because of the conditions, ac- cording to tho allegations.
 The building has become loss desirable for use because after every rain storm the lobby and auditorium become flooded, the papers charge.

high to second were not made cas- fly and quietly except by the most expert operators. Neither could the average car accelerate in 6 few sec- onds to high speed from standing start.
 Considering the brake horse- power powers of the car of five years ago with that of to-day fur ther emphasizes contrasts. The modern sixes have from 25 to nearly 60 per cent more actual bower. Sizes of to-day have engines comparable in power with the gh-priced eights of five years ago. It is interesting to note that three makers of fours in those days, and who since have gone to sizes and eights, offered cars with from 26 to 35 horsepower, and with a price range of from $525 to $945. One has several choices of sixes to-day, with engines of horsepower rang ing from 60 to 72, with a price range of from $475 to $6S5. Num- erous eights under $1,000 and $500, and with power plants, actually de- liverlng an average of 81 horse power, are several hundred dollars cheaper and superior in every re- spect. Five years ago wheelbases began their climb in the middle and uppper price brackets. To-day long wheelbases are the vogue in the low.priced fields.
 The automatic clutch and start ing had not reached tho blueprint stage five years ago, nor was safety or shatterproof glass included as standard equipment. The owner of tho '27 car could not sit In his seat and adjust 1t for safe and comfort- able driving, nor could be by Q mere turn of a lever, adjust the shock obserbers for varying loads, speeds and roads. Nor could he ride as comfortably as with the large diameter balloon tires of to-day, nor control the car at high speeds without fatigue and skillful hand ling of the wheel. The older cars lacked that essential roadability.
 And so, beginning next Saturday, thousands of showgoers will have plenty to reflect upon, relative to the motoring of the future.

While the country at large was undergoing general decline in the use of manufactured gas due to the slackening both of industrial and domestic requirements, Connecticut during the year of 1931 was able to show an increased use of ap- proXimately 1.5 per cent over last year, economic conditions serving to emphasize the value of gas ser- vice especially In the home. accord- ing to statements reviewing the year and issued today by II. IL. Sterrett, vice. president and general manager of the New Haven Gas Light company and Eben r. Put ham, president of the Greenwich Gas company.
 Better Appliances
 Hold Domestic Load
 Mir Stcrrett's summary of the gus utility year Is as follows:
 "Despite the continuance Of gen erally poor business conditions and the dcVelopment of very keen com petition on the part of other iuels. tho gas industry in Connecticut has forged ahead in l93l. During tho first nine months artificial gas con
  declined two per cent from 1850 figures, while Connecticut in the same period showed an increase of .5 per cent. The largest increase In the use of gas in 1881 has been | for house heating which is becom- ing steadily more popular. In most situations the industrial use of gas has very appreciably declined due to a general drop in factory pro- duction, but this class of business will improve as the volume of or- ders for manufactured products in- creases.
 Public interest in the latest types of gas appliances Is general ly very evident. New designs, new colors, automatic temperature con- trols, time clocks, positive lighters --these and many other develop ments are commanding attention, with the mystery of the gas re- frigerator leading In this respect. AS times improve there should be n largo market for the latest gas appliances. o,, m, moderately better business year than 1881 has bcon and that tho gas industry will continue to be in the forefront of Connectlcut's de- pendable. progressive, growing in- dustries.
