Brooke Students
In Performance

To Maurice Greet and Steve
Cochran goes the full credit for
the commendable showing the stu
dents of the Brooke Academy of
Stage Training in the Dramatic
Arts made last night at the Ma
tional Theater.
Five diversified scenes demon
strated the players ability, as de-
veloped by the expert instruction
Of Mr.. Greet. First was the first
act of "The Marriage of Kitty"
Harrison Hathaway and Helen
McGlue were responsible for it's
cleverness. Eleanore Harding g,
George Calvert, jr., and Nina Pat
ridge aided considerably.
Present "Rebecca"
The second presentation was a
scene from "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" in which the younger
embryo actresses caught the spirit
of the charming story. Little Mar
garet Mary EdmonSon as Rebecca
was outstanding.
The third, Barrie's mystery play
let, "Shal We Join the Ladies, :"
while a bit involved, testified to
splendid synchronization of nume-'-
GUS players, and well-planned &C.
tion. Edward Dickens carried the
largest role effectively, with near
ly the entire company assisting.
"COme Back Next Tuesday," fol
lowing, is credited to Maurice
Greet and Mildred Coleman, as
sistant instructoress at the acad-
emy. The sketch served to intro
duce four unusual monologues.
Nancy Ordway, Grace Harmon, FL
sic Behrend and Virginia Dyer
gave able and comical impressions
of different female types.
Shakespeare Comedy
To conclude, a condensed YER
sion of Shakespeare's The Com
edy of Errors" was offered. Greet
renowned for his knowledge of the
Bard'S works, arranged and di.
rected delightful version of the
comedy.
The sequences were smooth
the action fast and acting fa1
above average. The most impor
tant roles were played by Eugene
Stevens, Kenneth Nelms, Sylvan
Lappen, Edmund Vertner, Mar
ilyn Miller and Doris Rosedale
with the entire school taking
part.
Throughout, there was a notice
able excellence of diction, of stage
presence and training. The class
really deserved the diplomas given
them at the conclusion.
Others that took part, and con
tributed to the success of the
performance were: Elaine Kron
helm, Carol Jaspersen, Marion
Wolberg, Genelen Flynn, Mary
Eller, Eunice Kal, Ruth Creggar
Edythe CriSS, Bernice Avis, Jean
Davidson, Marie Walcott, Jerry
Embrey, Regina Smith, Naoms
Warden, Henry Haviland, Jon
Anderson, Harry Whiting, Charles

Billy Arlington S
Show at Gayety

A well-rounded show greets
Gayety patrons this week. Billy
Arlington and his Golden Crooks
of 1884" is the current attraction.
Aside from the comedy end Of
the production, the production
boasts feminine contingent that
is, without a single exception, good
looking. Wanda de Won, Bubbles
Yvonne, Violet Jordan and Georgia
Clark comprise the aesthetic por-
ton of the bill and a wonderfully
good job they make of it.
June Rhodes, whose singing IS
one of the outstanding treats Of
the show, is good looking as well.
Billy Arlington, who is a great
comic, has not appeared here in
recent years, but he is still the
laugh master. More versatile than
the usual comedian, he is well
worth seeing He has the ability
to draw laughs without resorting
to anything dubious to do it. An
acid test for burlesque humor.
AL Weber and Brownie Sick as
sist on the humor.
Wade and Wade, well-known
sepia dance team, appear here
again and offer some sizzling good
turns. They brought the house
down last highland deservedly
so.
Phil Srone, possessed of an un-
usual baritone voice, is heard in
some good numbers.
The show is unusually well
staged, we'll presented and tuneful.
The chorus is good looking and
well formed.-R. S.

came the willing servant of the

Mutual Aid Employees
 To Make Mattresses
Waterbury One of Six Cities in State to Engage in
 Special Work for Unemployed

Several cars of baled cotton and of striped ticking are due to arrive shortly at the New Haven head quarters for state relief, according 10 notice received from the fed- eral government in that city to-day and will be used in the new pro- ject discussed recently at Hart ford whereby six Conencticut sta- tiOns will be established for the employment of women.
 Mattresses will be made at the stations, of which the Mutual Aid workshop on Maple street here will be one. Waterbury, being the first city in the field to establish workshop of this nature, and be- ing consequently well equipped for the purpose, will definitely be giv- en this work, Mutual Aid officials said to-day. { The employment is considered ideal for relief in that the double purpose of giving new mattresses to needy families and at the same time giving employment to needy women will be served.
 It is understood that as soon as the material arrives in the city an Inspector will be sent here by the federal government to pass ap- preval upon the facilities for the work here and to instruct the new employees in the art of mattress making.
 Six canning centers will also be opened in the state, at which wo- men will be given work canning fruits and vegetables which will be stored in the central warehouse in New Haven and distributed to the needy of the state during the win ter. Nine cars of sugar, and other commodities have already been sent to New Haven for this pur- n0se

Only Five Men Chosen
 In City Court Trial
Complicated Case of PersEy vs Benkler Scheduled for
 Hearing Delayed By Proceedings

Five men chosen as jurors to hear the unusual civil action of Fannie Perskey against Benkler, involving a lease on South Main street property in city court up to noon time to-day. The polling of the jurymen only came after, a lengthy argument presented by Att torney John H. Cassidy, counsel for the defendant.
 Judge Edward Mascolo overruled Attorney Cassidy's motion that the jurymen summoned to hear the case were illegally drawn. In fact, MT Cassidy presented two motions objecting to the proceeding of the case. The first one was based on the ground that the men were drawn in the presence of City Sheriff William Roach, whereas, he claimed they have to be drawn in the presence of a constable. The second objection was based on the claim that a previous jury had been summoned instead of the members present in court. Judge Mascolo said if Attorney Cassidy were serious in his second motion, he would order the second panel excused.
 The situation finally resulted in the calling back of the first 12 men chosen. They reported last week but because of technicalities raised they were excused and a new panel ordered. The new panel re- ported today but could not serve. The first panel was called back. Those not reporting had their places filled by talesmefl.
 The five men chosen up to noon are James Eaters, Frank Ander- son, William J. Clasby, Frank He's

DEPORTATION OF
 PONZI DELAYED
His Lawyer Asked Writ of Habeas Corpus-That
 Must Be Heard

Boston, July 13-(UP)-With his deportation delayed at least temporarily, Charles Ponzi, dimin- utive "Get rich quick wizard" re- mained confident to-day that he eventually would win his battle to remain in the United States. He was confined to the U. s. immigra- tion station in East Boston, where he surrendered yesterday after de- nial by Governor Ely of a pardon petition. His attractive wife, Rose, loyal to him during his seven years in state prison, carried on the fight against deportation in behalf of the alleged super-swindler.
 Peter V. Maggie, attorney for Ponzi, filed in federal court a pe- tition for a writ of habeas corpus. This automatically stopped depor- tation until it comes before Judge Elisha H. Brewster Tuesday. Pom zi is charged in a federal warrant with moral turpitude growing out of his financial bubble involving $S,000,000 to $14,000,000.
 U. s. Attorney Francis J. W. Ford and U. s. Immigration Com missioner Mary Ward were to con- fer regarding admittance of Ponzi to bail.

(Continued from Page 1,) and capital of the class war. were against anyone who interferred with their own lives.
 When people started to work on the morning of May 3. and found they would have to walk to get there, 1t seemed to put 1t up to them, in their own minds. that they, like organized labor, had 6 test to meet.
 Those who were still on their way to work in the afternoon were mostly girl clerks and stem ographers who in mid-morning had abandoned hope of getting street car, bus. subway train or lift in an ordinary automobile. Some were absolutely exhausted, limping and near tears. The fact that they got to work revealed that organized labor was up against not only capital but public.
 Lasted Thirteen Days
 The strike lasted 13 dramatic colorful days. The government called for 50O.000 volunteers. The crowds at the recruiting stations were a cross section of British lire from capital to unskilled labor. So- cial butterflies of the west end, top halted clubmen and overalled workmen were in the lines.
 The household guards, the crack troops of the country. of whom every Briton is proud, were sent to Hyde Park where the government opened an immense food depot to insure against starvation. A milk pool was formed which, as a side- light, made profit of $35O,O0O In the 13 days.
 Food conveys were escorted by armored cars. Navy men manned power stations. The government took over the wireless. Newspapers. like the public. determined to car ry on their normal life and pub lished an edition each day-at first on single sheets no bigger than typewriter sheets.
 Girls Given Preference
 Veteran employees who would not strike and volunteers began oper- ating railway trains and subways. All motor car owners turned out to help get workers to their jobs, girls being given preference.
 There was some natural violence. There were many fights between strikers and volunteer strike breakers. Many trucks and auto mobiles were wrecked There were a few deaths. That there was not more violence was due partly to g different national psychology and
