ton was also given to the poems of Robert Henryson, Robert SouthWell, Richard Crashaw, Pope and Dryden, all Catholics.
 Inspirer of Poets
 In discussing Cardinal Newman, Dr. Connolly stated that his greatest importance is due, not to his own poetry but to the poetry of his imitators. He is not a great poet but an inspirer of poets. Coventry Patmore's poetry, she asserted, is characterized by religion, love and truth. Dr. Connolly expressed the opinion that the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins will soon have wider popular appeal although he will never be what is termed 8 pop- lllar poet. Heaven Haven" and Rosa Mystica" are of particular in- terest. Alice Meynell's importance is attributed not to her poetry but to the inspirat tion and help she gave to those who became great poets, particularly Francis Thompson. Francis Thompson is considered the greatest Catholic poet of modern times and perhaps the greatest poet since Shakespeare. Special empha- sis was given to his imagery laden poem, "The Hound of Heaven," un- paralleled for its exquisite beauty.
 "The Blue Valentine"
 In talking of the poetry of James Clarence Mangan, author of Dark Rosaleen", Dr. Connolly read one of his poems in which the expression Gone With the Wind, now the title of the days best seller, ap- pears. Louise Imogene Quincy, she considers too cold a poet to be great. Dr. Connoily's rendition of "The Blue Valentine" by Joyce Kilmer, especially appropriate for the day, was enthusiastically received. The poetry of Padraic Colum who writes about the Catholic in daily life was briefly discussed. Extracts from the poems of the Irish poets, McDon- ough, Plunkett and Pearse showed the Catholic spirit prevalent in their works.
 Rev. Leonard Feeney. s. J. whose poems often contain humorous ap- peal and ST. Madaleva whose works nave mystic quality are two pres- ent day poets who may yet make even greater contributions than they have thus far.
 First of Series
 Yesterdays lecture was the first in a series of six on Books and Their Spiritual Value to be given by Dr. Connolly. Ne Sunday af- ternoon, Dr. Connol will discuss questions that were p. taented by the audience at yesterdays meeting. The title of next weeks lecture is "R4ss;6. ligion and the Stage.

Church, Nelus

Crosby high school, in talk given yesterday at the regular service at the Bunker Hill Congregational church. The talk was. entitled "Overtones".
 The meeting yesterday was the annual session of the Mems league and MT. Elwell's talk was substi- tuted for the regular sermon usual- ly delivered by the Revend w.. Moreton Owen.
 The speaker pointed out that we are in the habit of trying to crowd too much into every day, always trying to get things done in a hur- ry. While we rush about like this, he said, we tend to lose sight of such important items as beauty, af- lection, home life. We should pause more often and look about us, he concluded.
 MEMS LEAGUE
 Officers of the Mems league of the First Baptist church for the com- ing year will be chosen ta,aight at the annual meeting of the group in the church parlors. Attorney John D .ThomS will atetnd the meeting and will speak on Social Security" The business meeting will begin at 8 o'clock. It was originally scheduled to take place at the home of Will liam Van TaSsell, who is i'll.
 SOUTH CHURCH
 The auditoriums of two local churches were filled to capacity yes- terday and last night for the pres entation of the films of one of the greatest talking pictures accom- plishments, Cecile B. DeMille's "The Sign of the Cross" which was shown at 5:30 o'clock at the South Fed erated church and in the gymnasium of the Mill Plain Congregational church at 8 p. m. The scenes de- picted the heroism and faith of the early Christians and their defense against the tyranny of imperialism in Rome.
 The pictures were shown in con- nection with the Lenten services conducted by Rev. T. Leroy Crosby of the South Federated and Rev. Matthew Madden, pastor of the Mil Plain Union churches,

Lithuanian Veterans
 Plan Aerial Carnival
Consulting State Officials on Advsability of Spectacu-
 lar Event-Fliers Offer Services for Big Sky Show

Htate permission will be sought by Sylvester J. Stokes Post of the Lith- uanian Legion of this city which contemplates sponsoring an avia- tion carnival in this vicinity, pos sibly at Mt. 1obe or the Bethany airport. The event if permission is granted will take place this sum- meS and it is expected to attract wide attention. It is understood that the chapter has been offered the services of reserve corps flyers now connected with the lithuanian Legion who are active at Floyd Bennett Field on Long Island and other fields near the Metropolis.
 The event would be something similar to the carnival in the clouds which was one of the principal &C., tivities of the Disabled American Veterans state convention which to0k place at Seaside Park in Bridgeport last July 3rd and which attracted more than 10000 specta- tors. Although this event took place at night, lights directed from boats and especially arranged spot ters through the park, made all ma neuvers plainly visible.
 Invite Veterans
 The local veterans post however would conduct the affair on a Sum- day afternoon, and would be part of an all day celebration.
 First steps towards the arrange ments for the air show have been taken by Victor Danisavage, local

adjutant, and national chief of staff. It has been said that in event the the carnival takes place near this city, large delegations representing all divisions of the Lithuanian Legion through the East all veterans organizations and aux- diaries and the general public would be invited.
 According to the state statutes nonresident pilots can operate in Connecticut providing they have complied with the laws of the state or country in which they are off, cial residents, and may operate any aircraft of type which training qualities. The state commissioner can approve of nonresident avia- tors if in event they do not carry passengers and that such aircraft re- quirements are in accordance with the laws prescribed by the state.
 Regulations
 State regulations however prevent a pilot from exhibition performance over town or city any place where failure may cause personal injury, and all planes must be flown at a stipulated altitude.
 With these regulations in favor of the local organization, 1t is cer- tain that more preparations will be made in the near future for the event.

Traces Influence of Catholic Poets-Appears as Guest Speaker for NOtre Dame Alumnae; Continues Feb 2l

Dr. Sabina H. Connolly of New Haven entertained an appreciativ tive audience yesterday at Waterbury Catholic high school auditorium when she talked on "The Catholic Reads Poetry" under the auspices of the Notre Dame Adumnae asso- citation. Miss Agnes Fitzpatrick, CO., chairman with Miss Mary Agnes Corden in charge of arrangements for he series of lectures, introduced the speaker.
 Dr. Connolly traced the develop ment of English poetry beginning with the fifth century to the pres ent day. She characterized St. Pat rick as the singing man of God. Spe- cial interest was attached to the poem, Pliers the Ploughman" by William Langdon of the fourteenth, century whe presents an ecclesiastic point of view similar to that con- tained in the famous document on social justice of Pope Leo XIII. In discussing the Canterbury Tales of Chaucer, Dr. Connolly stressed the stories told by two of its characters, the physician and prioress. Men-
