 The western Gable" Of the screen, c difficult role calling for q earefreo, clumsy Solf.earriage and Q gruf speaking tone despite the handsome appearance of the star, was the role played by Andrew Monagan ap. bearing for the first time with the Civic Theater Players.
 "Susie"
 Adding the greatest touch of humor to the production was the role Of "SuSie' which was played with natural ease by Arlene Coffey, Tier innocent mannor, used to cover up the startling revolutions and open discussion of her condition" was ono of tho highlights of the per- formance.
 Confusion working havoc with tho serene lifo of the busy movie pros dueer added to tho lively action of the play. Merle Hogdowich, in tho producer role, and appearing for his first time, gave Q realistic finish to the scenes in which ho played.
 The entire supporting cast, each working in their roles in q manner of ease, gave the production the fin. iBh of c professional showing.
 The story had Q great amount Of appeal to the audience who appre- ciated tho circumBtances which had to Do created in order to carry out tho theme. Based Oil tho life Of the central figure Of tho play Happy, the baby star born by inference, the story was surrounded with happen- ings which brought out true comedy and which was well received by the audience.

PfaduetiOn of Electricity By Power Stations, Steam Power Establishes New High Mark

Mleotricity produced hy power stations in Connecticut during the
 month of August reached the hiRh- eat total ever generated in thB state, lt Is shown by Q comparison of tho figure for that month, as EeG nnrted by the FedeTal Power Coms mission, with past electrical gener- ation records of the state.
 The new all-time high record Fet In August thlS year tops hg . vide Inargin the previous all-time hlgh figure estahliShed in March of this year which oNtdid that of DecemhAE, leSe. The monthly electrical prp- duction record was hrokel thFee times last year, but previously to that the mark of october, 1929, had withStood the test of time for i've yeays.
 New High
 Connecticuts electrical pFpduc. ton for August reached c total or i63, ,77a, 900 kilowatt hours, accord ing to the Federal Power Commis- slonS monthly report for that month which has just been issued. The high total set by Connecticut power plants in March was lAe,- OOS, ,O0O kiiowatt hours, while that of october, 1929, exceeded by the tig. ures of August and October as well aS December, 1886, was l40,SS1,0OO kilowatt hoAs.
 The August total given above com prises only the amount of electris city generated for public use, and does not include o,sl2,O00 kilowatt hours generated flor street and in- teruyban railways, electrified steam railroads, and miscellaneous federal, state and other plant" Electrical generation for the latter purppses has been grouped by the Federal Power Commission under . separate heading since the first of the present Year. The two totals together make ] figure of tea, ,4eh. .000 kllowAtt hours which, to obtain . picture Of the yreat growth In the use of light and power in Connecticut in q shprt Ipace of Q year, may Dc compared with the l&2,eIl, ,O0O kilowatt hours generated in August, losa-then the nigh record.

Az is usual during he summer months, the wAtAy power of the rivers and streams yves low during August, end the total output of CornScticut's hydro electric watt hours. This made t necessary for the steam powered stations to furnish the electricity needed to meet the public demand for power and light. Their output for the month, never before matched in Connecticut, was l3o,02S,0O0 kilowatt hours.

 "The League has declared that the actions now being taken by Japan In China are iIl violation Of the nine-power treaty and the Rriand-Kellogg peace pact.
 "The Department of State of tho United States has Issued c State- nent of the same purport.
 However, these steps must he at- tributed to an unfortunate lack nt understanding of the real oircuyAs stances as well aA the true intcn. tons of Japan, Q state of afEairE which the Japanese government considers very TegTettablo."
 The statement argues Japans le- gal right to maintain troops in Chine.
 It charged that China started the present hoatilitieA and thereby her" self violated the split of the nine. power and Kellogg -AriaTld pacD.
