visibility of having the trustees act

WILL NOT MAKE ESCAPED
PRISONER SERVE TIME

Too Costly.

JACKSON, Mich, October 30
Warden Peter Gray of the Michigan
State Prison announced yesterday that
James King, Rye, N. Y, grocer, would
not be forced to serve out the sentence
from which he escaped here 18 years
ago.
The fact that King, now married
and the father of son, was the John
Kavish who escaped July 7, 1916.
while serving two and a half to
Is year sentence for breaking and
entering, was discovered last week
after he had been sentenced to serve
80 days in the penitentiary at White
Plains, N. Y, for slapping his wife
while intoxicated.
Michigan authorities asked that
King, or Kavish, be held for them at
the expiration Of his term at White
Plains.
Today, however, Gray said It had
been decided that eXtradition pro-
ceedings would cost more than the
facts in the case warranted. He add
ed that Michigan authorities now
know where their one time prisoner
can be located If it should develop
that his reformation had not proved
permanent. He is now As years old.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-08

The Washington band-wagon was out in full force last night do- ing justice to Maxwell Anderson's Pulitzer prize play, Both Your Houscs," played by the Civic The atre of Waterbury group at the Waterbury Women's club. One Of the largest audiences in the or ganizations history viewed the play of storm and tumult. of humor and irony. The cast was well chosen and included many of the citys well known newspapermen and prominent citizens in other enter prises and professions. Heading the cast in a part which he handled like a veteran actor was Charles J.. Allen as representative Solomon Fitzmaurice, hardened product Of many administrations whose tongue had barb that was sharp and quite to the point.
 Both Your Houses" Is q mans play, outspoken and characteristic of what goes on on the inside down in Washington where men are not only men, but pretty tough eggs as well. Tho group about which the Anderson play revolves Is an es- pecially calloused lot, past masters at bribery and each one out for himself and to such and such a place with the consequences. Sol Fitzmaurice knows the ropes and the tricks of the trade like his fel- low companions of the appropria- tions committee and each one is out to get his beetles or what have you with little regard to the hon. esty is the best policy theory.
 The Appropriations committee Is following It's usual procedure of give and take when along comes an idealist from out of the west Nevada, to be exact, with the idea of reforming things. He succeeds in disrupting committee meeting supervised by the chairman. Simeon Gray played by Judge Walter D. Makcpeace. Gray Is as honest as he can be under the cir cumstances. and even he is In Il pretty tough spot, so has to cater to this and that one to keep his own head out of water. The ideal- ist from Nevada Is Alan McClean who wants the particular bill with which the play Is concerned killed TO do this he submits numerous appropriations to be added to de- Hciency bill that has already grown

 Little need be said as an intro ductory for the juveniles of the play, Dr Bernard O'I1ara and Miss Evelyn A. McCann. son and daughter of those friendly enemies. McKenna and Ryan. Both have ap- peared in productions in the past that merited rich praise. They arc delightfully."- cast in "McKenna's Filtration" with opportunities to sing and play their ways into the hearts and affection of any audi ence. When popular Irish plays of the past are discussed, who can forget the splendid work of Mary Daly Cleary, one of Waterbury's E favorites? She has prominent role in the coming show. John Malone, who scored such a popular success in the passion play, "Tho Upper Room,' will again be seen to advantage in his character part of Willet Chase.
 Six young and pretty nurses from St Mary's hospital form the ballet, which is expected to be one of the outstanding features, of the play.
 The proceeds of the presentation will be given as n silver jubilee gift to st Mary's hospital.

from forty millions to over two hundred and fifty millions. Thus does the play go on with com promise and graft and bribery rampant. The bill is passed, and the committee room emerges into something like a bar.
 Next in importance to the role of Sol was that of Alan McClean, played by Jerry Harrington. These two carry the largest parts and were very sure of themselves. MT Allen was excellent in the part of Sol; spoke his lines with assurance and made hia points neatly and succinctly. It was the meaty part of the evening and he carried the play over by his personality and able presentation of his lines. Jerry Harrington was also letter perfect In his part. He has an easy stage manner and his performance was adequate throughout. Sharing hon. ors with Mir Allen and MT Harring- ton was Miss Mollie Cullen, the wise- cracking gal of the Washing ton bevy of representatives. She gave a splendid performance as Bus, every line good one, every wise crack Q neat one, and all put across very adroitly by this talent ed member of the theatre group. Judge Makepeace as Simeon Gray was q good typo for the character he portrayed. His appearance and delivery had a dignity in keeping with the part and he made Q very happy impression in his first mp. pearance with the theatre group.
 Geneva Stettbacher us the lone congresswoman, Miss McMurty spoke up for herself in smart fashion.

State Dental Chief Urges Children's Clieck-Up
 After Indoor Spell

Midwinter, after children have been forced to spend most of their time indoors for several months and when sunshine is deficient in ultraviolet rays, is an ideal time to have the family dentist check up on their teeth, according to pr Clyde R. Salmons, chief of the di- vision of mouth hygiene of the state department of health, in the departments weekly broadcast to- day.
 Vitamin D is essential to the growth and health of the teeth and bones, Dr Salmons explained. It is furnished to the body in two ways, by the inclusion of certain foods in the diet and by the ultra-violet rays of sunshine. Tn the late fall and winter when children are much indoors and when the skies are to a large extent overcast, there Is little chance of obtaining vitamin D from the latter source. Like wise, in the winter there is a re- duction in the diet of the green vegetables and in the fruits which are the chief sources of vitamin D.
 Winters lowered resistance of the body plus the lack of vitamin D increase greatly the susceptible ity to tooth decay and since chil- dren's teeth decay more rapidly than those of adults 1t is impor- tant to keep theft resistance high. Lack of sunshine can be compen- sated by use of cod liver oil or other fish liver oils in quantitels suggested by the family physician. Food plays an important part in general health and when the diet contains daily one quart of milk, an egg, two salads and a green vegetable, sources of vitamins A and c as well as D are provided a essential factors in dental health as well.
 Correct diet should be accom- panied by correct mouth hygiene, the proper brushing and cleaning of the teeth and gums. Even with the best of hygiene and the prop CT diet all liability of decay cannot be avoided. Particularly In chil- dren's teeth most cavities are formed in flaws in the grinding surfaces of the teeth along the grooves and in the pits where two or more grooves come together. No amount of attention short of open ing them up and placing filings can stop the progress of decay in these places. For this reason the periodic dental check-up is neces- sary an dthe circumstances pre- vailing in cold weather make mid- winter an ideal time for one of the semi-annual visits to the dem tiSt

Patrick Kelly to Play Leading Role in "McKenna's
 Filtration" at Jacques Theater Monday, Tuesday

The enthusiastic response of the public to the announcement thai St Mary's Hospital Aid Association was sponsoring a revival of "Mc Kenna's Filtration, a three-aci comedy, has most convincingi, de .lonstrated the fact that the. play made famous by the Kings Of Irish comedy, Billy Barry and Hugh Fay, has lost little, if any. of its popularity with the passing years.
 Although staged some twenty years ago by local talent, 1t has been one of the most talked-ot productions Waterbury has ever witnessed. On next Monday after. noon and evening and on Tuesday night hundreds of theater-goers will have the pleasure of witness ing 1t in revised form at Jacques theatcr. Thomas M. Freney, who directed the original production here, is again in full charge. Three members of the cast of a score of years ago, Colonel William J.. Shanahan, Miss Daisy Lord and Mrs Joseph H. McGinniss, will be seen in the parts they so creditaply essayed at that time.
 The role of McKenna will be played by Patrick Kelly, a very promising young actor, who has made great progress under the tutelage of Director Freney. MT Kelly is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Niagara. During his col. lege days he appeared as a soloist in several radio broadcasts from the Buffalo stations. He has played in number of local pro- ductions and has appeared on a number of entertainment pro- grams.

 Proponents of the proposal for the extra holiday are advancing several arguments in favor of the arrangement. They point out that the lengtheIing of the mid-winter vacation by allowing the extra day would offer a needed break" to pupils and teachers. Another argu. r1ent Is that tho free day would save the city the expense of paying for light and heat for just one days classes, and that the day could be made up when warmer weather has arrived, a
