Youngsters Win at Lyric

Every one who saw the w. c.
Fields Blng Crosby picture, Mis-
sissippi,7 Will surely remember the
ingratiating troupe of five little
Pickaninny thermometers who made
such a sensational debut in that
film.
They we're the Five Cabin Kids
and they are appearing in person as
the headline attraction on the
Lyric stage. Their harmony,
coupled with their peculiar brand of
comedy, makes them a good act on
any vaudeville bill and quite the
equal of the majority of adult har-
mOny teams.
To display their talents, they sing
"Shortenin' Bread" Last Round
I'D" and several Negro spirituals.
Considering their youth (the three
girls and two boys range in age from
5 to d we believe), their tonal bal
ance is remarkable. The youngster
of the troupe-the Shaven-headed
little boy-carrieS the comedy bust
ness of the act, which consists most
". you will recall, Of much head
scratching and mobile face-making
at the next larger member ca girD
in the stair-stepped ensemble.
Their act, however. shows the
lack Of direction which gave it the
punch it had in Mississippi" but
it remains, nevertheless, an adj
mirable accomplishment. An ex-
pert sound recording helped them
in their film venture, too.
Among the other acts, there are
many familiar faces to Lyric-goers:
Yorke and Tracy are back again
with unbrided slapStick dressed up
with lot of new business and they
seem to know the location of their
audiences funny-bone; Pinkie Lee
g. Co. contribute more comedy Of
the rough and tumble sort in
manner which is probably best de
scribed as "a camp" and then, too,
there is the Liazeed Arabian
Troupe of lightning gymnasts and
tumblers and this act never misses
with variety patrons. They do
some astonishing feats.
Vernon Rathburn opens with his
revue in miniature, which includes
some first rate saXophone quintets,
sextets, and solo, tap and toe dane
ing and the presentation of a lit
tie lady who gives a topping,
throaty rendition of Lullaby of
Broadway"
Another of those broadly comic
Warner Brothers farces, We're in
the Money" with Joan Blondell,
Glenda Farrell and Hugh Herbert,

NAL motion pictures of the Joe
Louis-King Levinsky fight are an
added attraction. There's good all
round entertainment here this week

.$23,OO0 SOUGHT
 IN CIVIL SUITS
Collision on Naugatuck- Prospect Road Basis
 of Two Actions

Damages of $23,000 are claimed in several civil actions filed today in the superior and common pleas courts. A collision between 9 motorcycle and automobile on the Naugatuck-Prospect road is made the basis for two of the suits. Vic- tor Petrauskas of Prospect and his father, John, are the plaintiffs against Raymond and Evelyn M. Cestar Victor asks $2,500 damages and his father, $10,00o.
 They say they were riding on the cycle April 3, 1894, when they were struck by the Cestar car and severely injured. John Cestar, the more seriously injured, lists a fractured skull among his injuries.
 Caroline Biondi asks $10,000 damages from the Cooke Street Bus Lines, Inc, for injuries she suffered April 27, when the bus in which she was riding, struck pole near Exchange place. She sustained a fractured arm and other injuries, which brought her to the Water bury hospital. William s. Alta asks $350 damages from John E. Oliver in a suit based on a note. The Watertown Trust Company asks the foreclosure of a mortgage on Watertown property against Matthew c. Gee and others.

Four In Spirited Contest For Office
 Of Lodge Treasurer
Race for Office of Secretary and for Membership on Board of Trustees Expected to Bring Out Record
 Vote at Formal Elections Tomorrow Evening

The nomination of four past ex- alted rulers of the Waterbury lodge of Elks for the position of treas-: irer3 made vacant by the recent death of Maurice Culhane, has served as the slgnai for one of the greatest competitive races in the local history of the organization. In point of general interest 1t has almost completely overshadowed the fact that two very prominent members, with hosts of friends, are competing for the office of secre- tary. The present incumbent U. Horton Warner and James q. Gall Yin, newspaperman, are the con- testants., Both have injected plenty of pep and enthusiasm into their campaign efforts. Comb bined with the tilt between Attornel Alber. Hummel and Charles Jackson for the office of trustee, the slate for action tomorrow evening promises to bring out record vote.
 Incidentally MT Warner and MT. Jackson are also past exalted rulers of the lodge.
 Greatest Contest
 Not in years have so many can- didates appeared on the horizon. The late Maurice Culhane held the office of treasurer for 27 consecu- tive years, while the late Edward r. Moran rounded out more than a quarter of century in the faith full performance of his duties as secretary. On the occasion of the lodge voting for his successor MT Warner defeated Dennis J. Clancy ili . contest that was marked by plenty of rivalry and by a record turn out of members. The death of MT Culhane occurred after the nominations had been made for secretary. At a special meet ing last week nominations were formally made with result that Past Exalted Rulers John A. Ben- nett, Edward J.. Real, George T. Ryan and Robert F. Birt are now in the field for the honor. All four have figured prominently in Elks affairs for many years. All have large foliowings of friends and ad.

Life Sized Figures
 Deceive Passers By

Scores of shoppers on East Main street today were at. tracted by . novel window dis. play in Fitzgerald & Platt's Store. Life-sized figures of Mir Fitzgerald and MT Platt on either side of a moving-lctter Kuppenhcimer advertisement created a startling and un- usual effect. At first glance it appeared as though the figures standing i'm the west window were Mir Fitzgerald and MT Platt in person.
 As g matter of fact, Mr Fitzgerald said today, one of his friends has acused him of working overtime.
 s'I saw you and Platt stand- ing in the window at 2:3O this morning" the man said dur- ing the course of a converse ton.
 The reproductions were made by a process owned ex- clusively by the Kuppenheim- CT Company from photographs taken at the Thomas studio. They are designed to adver- tise the new champion worst. ed suits and are sent to Kuppenheimer dealers every. where for window display.
 As Q window attraction they have created an unusual a. mount of comment and have been most effective.

Local Truck Drivers
 Hope For Settlement
Strikers Await Hartford Conference This Afternoon
 Picketing Continues in Orderly Fashion

Waterbury's striking truck driv- CTS were hopeful this afternoon that a conference in progress at Hartford this afternoon might Aiug an end to the strike and a TA&umrtion of work. At press time this afternoon, Joseph Dunn and Edmund Naylor, president and business agent respectively of the local branch of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chau- feurs, Stablemen and Helpers, were still engaged with union leaders from toher parts of tbe state and employers representa- tives at Hartford.
 Otherwise the strike situation remained unchanged, except thet even then extremely light trucl, traffic of the past few days seemed to have decreased further. But few inter-city trucks were seen en- tering or leaving the city.
 Picketing activity on the part of the strikers was continued in or derly fashion, with an occasional truck being hailed and its driver asked to join in the walkout. There were no reports of any tru- ble in the Waterbury vicinity.
 Trucking company officials yes- terday practically ended regular operation of their schedules as far as local terminals were concerned. Orders were given not to load any vehicles last night, and skeleton office forces were the only sign of activity at truck company ter minals.
 Operators expressed confidence this morning that an amica5;e settlement would be reached and that regular trucking would be re- stunned as soon as an agreement had been arrived at.
