The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-14

Indent Settlers Village-Wa- terbury's Wonderland - drew more people yesterday than ahy other feature on Connecticut's tercentenary program. Close to 5000 men, women and children, assembled at the historical and international village here yester- day afternoon to hear the vocal- ists and choruses sing at the music festival. It was wonder full day and a wonderful pro- gram.
 Close to 12,O00 persons visited the settlement last week, ereat- ing a new attendance record. This figure does not include school children under 12 years of age who were guests of the management. Conservative es- timators place the grand total at 15,000.
 Lieut.. Col. William J. Shana- han has not missed visiting Set tiers Village any weekend since the settlement opened last July. He is one Waterburian who ac- tually appreciates the exercises staged weekly.
 The publicity department was going to attempt to mention in this column all the prominent folks who visited Settlers Vil- lage this summer, but the plan was abandoned when weary researcher suggested it was much easier, for anyone inter- ested, to just pick up the city di- rectory and see for themselves. Which means, in fewer words, that all Waterbury turned out to see the settlement on west side hill.
 Settlers Village will remain open until the weather becomes too cold and disagreeable. Not until then will the massive gates of the stockade be closed. Next season many new features will be introduced to interest and entertain visitors.
 There is a possibility that the ampitheater contributed by local Hebrews will be dedicated next Sunday. Should the weather for bid such a program being car- ried out, everyone can rest as- sured that the dedicatory exer- . cises will be one of the foremost on next seasons schedule. The Jewish people also financed the landscaping of the entire village.
 The parade of the Italian Americans last Saturday drew close to 40,000 people who lined each street along the line of

Pictures of the various build ings at the village sold so fast over the week end that the staff had to be tripled to serve the customers. It seems everybody entertains the desire to get in a supply of the pictures for Christmas distribution. What a wonderful Christmas card these pictures really are. How many are you going to send this Yule- tide?

"BIG-HEARTED HERBERT"
STAGED BY BLACKFRIARS
Comedy Is Well Handled and the
Guilds Show Is Second
Hit of Season,

"Big-Hearted Herbert" entertained
his audience for nearly two hours last
night when the BlackfriarS Guild pre-
sented their second hit of the season
at st. Paul's auditorium. Edgar Ford
took the title role in this witty comedy
by Sophie Kerr and Anna S. Richard
son. He constantly had the audience
laughing at his presentation of the
self-made man with his petty preju-
dlces and unreasonable attitudes,
funny to every one but himself.
Mary Crowly did we'll as Mrs. Kali
ness, Herbert's g-suffering help
mate. She had ample opportunity to
show her ability as an actress when
she turned the tables on Herbert and
showed him the error of his ways.
The love interest was supplied by
Alice Kalness Mae Fenner). Herbert's
19-year-old daughter, and Andrew
Goodrich &C. j. Wittler). her lawyer
suitor. A youngster, Jack Victory,
playing the part of Herbert's 12-year-
old son, supplied several of the most
humorous incidents in the whole per-
formance. Other players in the cast,
all good performers, were Dee Shannon,
John Wilson, Marguerite Nordstrom
Richard Roberts, Jeanne Bateman, J.
Godfrey Butler and Hazel Boyce.
Much of the credit for the success
of the performance goes to Angela
Kerr. as her direction added the final
touch to an already good play.
Big Hearted Herbert" will be pre-
sented this evening in ST. Paul's au-
ditorium, 1921 v street, at 8:15.

n II ANY have been the times and
M varied the ways this New
IV Deal has been satirized-in
4 L newspapers, over the radio,
on the screen, on the stage
and in probably every manner OF
human expression-but never have
the present governmental policies had
fun poked at them with such fresh,
young enthusiasm as last night in
1.-THE Professors Jambouree," 1885
edition Of the Chevy Chase "Frantics," "
by the Chevy Chase Glee Club, at
the Wardman Park Theater.
This Professors Jambouree" Is a
very happy musical hodge-podge. For
the most part, it skips along very
swiftly and scores continual laughter.
The lines are clever. And there is
music. Some % different selections
were written especially for the piece
by Minnie Ferguson, Sammie Ives
and Richard Wooten, and for the
most part they are zippy, zestful
tunes. A few of them lag below the
revue's average, but there is a high
percentage of numbers with a swing.
Humanity" and Naughty Moon"
both by Miss Ferguson, are a couple
that stood out.
1t would be useless to attempt to
name every pretty girl in the huge
cast who deserves to be commended
for contributing to a pleasant eve
ming, but there are a few who are
remembered for their gay time with
some happy satire.
There were Mildred Stull who ap-
peared as one Nicoray Butler, leader
Of the brain trusters; Barbara Davis
as cabinet member, ARA Jean KIM
ball as forlorn little Miss Relief, gift
of the graduating class to the uni
versity whence came the brain trust
of the piece; Jane Goodwin as poor
old Breakdown Johnny. who had noth-
ing left but half-doZen straggly
blue eagles: Dorothy Jane Titus as
Nine. Dionne, and a host of others
equally talented and attractive. That
quintuplets skit, by the way, was
good.
"Phooey" was the hit of the eve
ming. being performed most notably
by Dorothy Fawick. There's a young
dancer, too. who deserves some recog-
nition-a whole dozen dancers, in
fact-but the one in particular who
performed so neatly is Jane Fryling
who did four clever specialties. one
a duo clog with Jane Beachem. Sarah
Mcdowell, Catherine Fuller, Sammie
Ives and Margaret Harmes are -four
others, less than l per cent Of the
cast, who performed most acceptably
In fact, every one connected with
