Art Exhibition
 Opens Al Lyme


 Old Lyme, Conn, July 24A--With
 tea to be served under colorful um-
 brellas and the shade of fine old maple trees, the wives of artists as-
 sisted by friends in the role of
 hostesses, and the artists them selves mingling among the -throngs of visitors, the 33rd annual exhibi- | tion of paintings and sculpture of | the Lyme Art association will open
 at Old Lymes gallery Saturday in a setting as animated as It will be
 picturesque,
 Thus tradition will once more be
 upheld, For the people of Old
 Lyme and its environs, merrily | abetted by others who come from far afield will see to it that the an-
 nual opening day is as. festive as | any on the local calendar. The event will act as an altogether hap- py Introduction to that other and more serious tradition which 1t serves-the yearly assemble of the trtists' twelve-months work. As to this exhibition of 1884, at least one fact will strike many | who review 1t. In a year when so many persons have been out of work these artists have stuck more closely than ever to what the elder
 Inness often referred to as .'the job" They have worked hard and wrought well. The result is a dis
 play of canvases and modelings that measure to and frequently ex- ceed the standards long maintained by Lyme association. Perhaps most interesting to the average visitor is the wide range of sub ject matter. There is no such thing as monotony> in the catalouge. A feature of the current exhibi- tion is the unusual number of par-' trait and figure paintings. For many years the Lyme group was pre-eminently an assembly of land scape artists. More and more they are turning their attention to the anatomical phase.
 The exhibit is attended by many local residents each year.
 A surprise miscellaneous shower was given at the home of Mrs Pocius of Wilson street on honor of Miss Anna Mankus, who is to be married to Benedict Latozas in August. Those attending were: Misses Bertha White, Edith Scora- vich, Betty Stewart, Sue Kierce. Patricia Kilbartis, Anna Kudgma, Alphic Translates. Albina Penikas, Mary Smokes. Nellie Smokes. Ann Yuskts, Helen Yuskis, Mae C. Da- vino, Vera Stanis, Aldona Pocius, Helen Vitkus, Vera Navichas, Mrs Anthony Endrikis, Mrs John Kru- kauskas and Mrs Joseph Pocius.
 The Queen Esther Circle of the First Methodist church entertained | recently at a bridge and miscel- | laneous shower for Miss Grace Starky, who is to be maTried soon | to Harold Easton. The affair Was held at the home of Mrs Howard Hickcox of Woodlawn terrace. Re- treatments were served later in the evening. Those attending were | Mrs Leslie Young, Mrs Charles Rowland, Mrs Herbert Hoyt, Mrs George Raeburn, Mrs John Rae burn. Mrs Henry Anderson, MT" Leroy Sanford, Mrs Raymond Guyette of Brooklyn, N. Y..

 The second feature brings back to the screen of Poli's right after his sensational success in "The Life of Vergie Winters" John (Back-Sfreet) Boles in a story of gold that glistens with the tears of women, the sort of a story that you love see this sterling per- former in and for his leading lady he has another prime favor ite dainty, demure. petite little Claire Trevor who just scored an- other sensational success in Baby Take A Bow and whose antics and live making with James Dunn have made her one of the favorite of the female stars.

 Starting Saturday, for days only, Polls is proud to offer to it's patrons the New England prem iere of the latest. talking picture of Americas King of the Screen Will Rogers, who will be seen in his latest hilarious comedy Handy Andy" and in this picture he is far more human than ever before and positively more hilarious than you have ever seen him, imagine Will Rogers, dressed as 'Tarzan' with the roar and call, and you have one idea of what is in store for you in this treat.
 Have you tuned in mornings to the recitals of the Poli organ, here is Connecticut's largest organ and under the deft fingers of Jimmy Colgan rare musical treat is assured.

Memories of happy childhood days were evoked this afternoon with the initial local performance of Charlotte, Bronte's famous Eng fish novel, Jane Eyre" the Mon ogram film which opened at the Warner State theater with Vir- ginia Bruce and Colin Give in the leading roles.

Unble to stand the orphanage any longer, she leaves and obtains a position as governess in a wealthy English home, where she meets and falls in love with her employer. Mir Rochester.
 Happiness comes to her at last. and she is about to be married, when her dreams are rudely shat tered on the day of her wedding, and she fees once more to seek employment as the assistant to a clergyman engaged in charity work.
 Jane is about to marry and take up missionary work in India, when a happy combination of circum- stances brings her again to her

South plays the king, West wins the trick with the ace, West then cashes the queen of hearts and now, if he will continue the third heart, even though declarer is going to be able to ruff in dnm- my, the contract will he defeated, because West then will be sure Of making his king of spades and ace of clubs.
 Here again he missed an oppor- tunity to defeat the hand. If he had held off the first club. won the second club trick. and returned the third club, the contract would have been defeated. Or if. after winning this trick with the ace of clubs, he led beart. the contract could he defeated. But again West made the mistake of returning a diamond which South won with the king.
 South now led the queen of spades and felt it ride. When il held, a small spade was played and the jack finessed. The ace of spades then picked up Vests king and now the six of clubs was an entry into dummy and the losing heart was discarded on the jack of clubs. In this manner the dcclarer made four odds.
