PRIVATE LWES' GOES OVER BIG
LitchReId Troupe Offers Clever Comedy CIimaxing
 Current Season
Especial to the DemOcrat)

Litchneld, Sept. S-Noel Coward's tl1ree-act comedy, Private Lives, featuring a cast of three Apple Or- chard Theatef actresses and two actors, is-this week ringing the cur- tain down on very successful sea- son at the Playhouse here by this youthful group of thespians under the able guidance of Miss Dione Lewis.
 Last evening was the opening of this production which will be re- peated nightly up to and including Saturday. Catch-lines are plenty and put over with plenty of zip, making this story one of the best rib-ticklers the summer stock troupe has offered this season. Two couples whose romances are as mixed as a throng on @ noon sub in New York city form the plot and their unique experiences draw laughs galore.
 Dee Foster ,convincingly portrays Amanda Prynne, temperamental but exotic cx-mate of Elyot Chase, played equally convincingly by Rob- ert Reeves who is just as tempera- mental and more irresponsible than his former better half.. Robert Johnson, as Victor Prynne, assumes a much more manrlish role in this than in his previous two character nations. Emily Neuman, who has been given ser most important role of the season in this production as Sibyl Chase, does justice to her part as the Sobhing wife who cries as much as she talks.
 The first act takes place on the terrace of 8 French hotel on a moonlight summer night. The next two find the characters in Aman. da's Hat. Climaxir1g the second act Is 8 fast moving scene where Rob- ert Reeves chases Dee Foster over chairs, tables and what haze you. finally forcing Dee to repose Gsor the fireplace high over everything else In the room. One would really swear Miss Foster took up acro- battles after seeing her dodge. dive and climb a la Tarzans mate,
 Margaret Dickenson has a very easy role this week as the French maid, Louise, and makes her char acterization look easy although her lines call for plenty of genuine French sayings.
 George Pillette, who has partici- pated in every other play offered this season, Is in charge of the sets this week and takes no part in the play. ~ '''S

AOUTDOOR MEN
 TO GET LAY-OFFS
Personnel to Be Reduced From 67 to IS Before
 July Says Brophy

Naugatuck, June 20 - The WPA outdoor working force here will be cut from 07 to iS here before July 1, Warden Leo J. Brophy learned today from the New Haven WpA headquarters. This slash of b2 men Is due to the cut in the WPA aps propriation and Is on orders from Washington, the warden said.
 He declared 1t will add to the burden of the welfare department as the WpA men have to Do first class. lfled for relief before being placed on tho WPA, and most probably will have to be aided by the welfare de- partment whe nthe cut goes Into ef- feet.
 MT. Brophy said he has held down on the number of WPA projects un' derway here, anticipating some such reduction. There are sidewalk pro' jectS on School and Aetna streets now and also other projects on Hoadley street and Maple Hill road It seems certain that completion oi some of these projects will take longer because of the reduction in the personnel.
 If the WPA projects are affected by the street department strike, and If 1t lasts much longer they ap. parently vii ibe 1t may mean that some projects may not Dc completed Street department trucks are used, ln connection with WPA work.
