ST ORONZO DAY
 TOBE OBSERVED
Societies of State to Meet
 at Lake COmp0unce, August 25

The 14th annual celebration of the feast of St Oronzo will be held at Lake Compounce on Saturday, August 18th. Organized in 1920 the St Oronzo society of Bristol has each year observed the feast day of it's patron saint with celebration that is witnessed by thousands of people. The member ship of the society is made up Of Italians who hail from the prov nee of Bari and St 0ronzo Is the patron saint of Turf, city in that province.
 Every year that this celebration has been held at Compounce 1t ha swithout exception drawn the largest crowd of the season to the shores of that well know resort. Coming from practically every town and city in the state and also from points as far distant as Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts,, non-members as we'll as members are attracted by the elaborate program of enter tainment which isc limaxed With a display of fireworks so stupen. dous, colorful and spectacular that it fairly shakes old Chief Com pounce from his watery grave. Ac- cording to advance reports the dis play this year will far outshine anything previously shown.
 The days program is>heralded in at noon with the discharging of aerial bombs. This is followed by 6 street parade starting at the Elks' club on South street and covering the principal streets of the city. After the parade the festivities will be resumed at Lake Compounce.
 The Bell City band has been en- gagged by the St Oronzo sicety for the entire day playing in the pa rade and also for two concerts at the lake Saturday evening. The first concert will be from to p. m. and the second from g to II p. m. This band under the direc- ton of Leonard A. L,acovaro was organized three years ago and dur ing that short time has gained an enviable reputation in musical cir cles throughout this section.
 The mammoth display of fire. works following the second concert will be presented by Domenic La tela Of New Haven and will las, for practically an hour starting al 11:15 p. m. It will consist of 2 large, number of novel and spec tacular setpieces accompanied by a bevy of aerial bombs which break high over the lake in g combination of colors so beautiful that they are impossible to des- cribe. And the grand finale that everyone eagerly waits for is both colorful and deafening as it echos and re-echos up and down the Imountainside.
 The committee in charge of this celebration consists of Frank Decarolis chairman, Thomas Lo- mezzo and Vito Fanella.

Good evening.
THE MORNING AFTER

The morning after the day before, A day remembered forever more; A great big head, though you had naugnt to
 drink And huge stack of dishes left in the sink. Aching arms and creaking bones, Able to speak in only softest tones; Corns on your feet with most acute pain, Make you writhe till near insane. Scuffed shins from misplanted feet, And sore nose red as beet; Bruised ribs from swinging elbows, A haggard look at tattered clothes. Such it is after the day before, The day spent shopping in every store; But you were bound you'd have your way, And go out shopping on Dollar Day.

= NEW R-K-O FEATURE REVIEWED
'CavaIcade' Pair
Is Reunited in
Keith Film

Comedy, in a rather heavy
British manner, is on display for
your amusement at RKO Keith's
under the obvious catch title Of
where Sinners Meet"
Adaptation Of A. A. Mines
1.-The Dover Road" loses the Tilt
ing gaiety intended by the author;
much that is confusing to the lay
mind proves SO much nonsense
before the closing hour, but one
remembers the lines as read by
Diana Wynyard. Give Brook,
Reginald Owen, Billie Burke, Alan
Mobray and Gilbert Emery; in
teresting cast drawing extrava-
CANT characters who stumble in
and out of humor.
The action centers about a
GENIAL gentleman who fancics
himself as a sort of diplomat at
the court of Eros, whose duty it
is to prove to runaway couples
that true love is seldom unconven
tional.
So he brides chauffeurs and
maids, and those amorouS couples
who motor over the Dover Road
to catch the Calais boat and SO
begin their love life under the
warmth of the more tolerant sun
of France are detoured into his
very home which is described to
the wary as a bit of a hotel. Once
inside he holds them virtual priS-
oners inflicting the lovers upon
each other four meals a day and
hours in the gardens. Law of av-
erages proving that an unshaVen
kiss is not nearly as desirable as
one tinged with moonlight, there
is generally a complete disillusion-
ment before the seven days have
passed.
Of course the gentleman falls
victim to the charms of one of
his prisoners and since all stories
must end, you have by this time
already guessed that the charac-
tiers portrayed by Diana and Give
are the logical ones for romance.
Added to the feature film there
is an o. Soglow Little King car
toon intended as a giggle-getter
but which is lost in the final
count; a newsreel with some in
spring "shots" of the fleet on
parade and a Ruth Fitting song
short with not enough Fitting and
too much plot.
Summed up. it's program
which induces relaxation and
that's a grand inducement these
sitting days. K. Y.

Torrance that will mark the con-
clusion of the fifth successful

of the students an opportunity to
display their talents.
The program will include scenes
from several outstanding sue
cesses, one of the most important

Roi Cooper Magrue and Walter
Hackett, a comedy smash that
enjoyed wide popularity several
years ago. Another feature of the

C. Wills play Charles The First"

Children Of Sun
Now at Gayety

children of the Sum-" a picture
of life in nudist camps. current at
the Gayety, is about average film
fare. 1t would hardly rate that
were it not for the rarity of the
subject.
Contrary to this reviewers pre-
conceived opinions, he found
nothing at all Objectionable in the
film. 1t is done with some taste
and discrimination. Nudity there
is, but it is decently presented and
some of the shots rate high ar
tistic merit.
If in your opinion, nudist camps
are things of evil, you are advised
not to see the film. If your curl
osity is morbid or erotic you will
not like it. If, however, you have
an intelligent curiosity about mud
ism you will find this fare salts
flying to a certain extent. It is
not complete. 1t is not really we'll
done. But it makes an intelligent
effort.
The stage show, if indeed it can
be called that, leaves me simply
gasping. Four girls are found on
the stage behind gauze curtain.
Two of them toss ball to and
fro during the duration Of a
phonograph record. Maybe you
can figure that one out. 1 couldn't.

Perfect Theater
May 81, 1884
Dear Mr.. Kelley:
Anent your wish that some
one would build a theater with
the rows of seats far enough
apart so that one could reach
his place without stumbling
over those already Seated-there
is one such theater in existence.
It is the Kenneth Sawyer Good
man Memorial Theater, located
in Grant Park, in Chicago, con-
nected with the Art Institute
of that city.
If and when you visit the
Worlds Fair this summer, 1
highly recommend that you pay
the Goodman Theater a visit.
When it opened in the fall of
1925, it had a very competent
company of players under the
direction of Thomas Wood Stew
ems who, 1 understand from the
Press, is directing a series of
ShakeSpearean presentations at
the Fair this Summer) but some
how the venture fell by the road
side until now it is merely used

Large Crowds

The ideal weather over the
weekend brought a more than
usual quota of merrymakers to
Glen Echo Park, where the usual
good time was had by all.
The airplane swings, the thrill
ing coaster dips, and everything
else were patronized to the limit.
Crystal Pool, especially, was the
magnet for people of all ages with
the June sunshine just right for
water sports. Sunday saw entire
families gathered in the shady
picnic groves.
Saturday evening a large crowd
of dancers were on hand in the
beautiful Spanish Garden ball
room, frolicking to the tunes of
MacWilliams Orchestra, led by
Phil O'Brien.

Charles Robertson. 1t has to do
with the pursuit of COB for a
girl in a Panama cabaret, nick

"Stonewall' Jackson.
Ruth Abbott and Roy Roberts
will play the leading roles. with
the complete roster of the play
ers, and many additional actors,

ton is one of the most elaborate
ever attempted by the local

by occasional groups.
The plant there is one of the
best ia the country. The rows
of seats, which curve slightly,
are continuous from one side
of the house to the other, con-
tanning in the widest part about
4S places. Entrances to the audi
forum are through archways
at the sides from slOping cOrri-
doris which connect with the
spacious stone gallery at the
rear.
The rows of seats are SO far
aparH that one can stretch out
full length and still not hit the
seat ahead. Thus the patrons
can walk comfortably past
those already seated. You've no
idea how much mental pro-
family is saved.
But now it occurs to me that
you may very we'll have seen
this paragon of theaters and
all of my affusiOn will only
bore you. In which case, please
overlook my enthusiasm.
The only pity is that the
Goodman has not been CAPT
talized upon by Chicago or by
some enterprising civic theater
group. For accessibility and
for ample parking space there
probably isn't another in that
city as we'll located.
