 Coolidge won the Republican nomination for lieutenant-governor by a two-to-one margin over Mayor Albert Cole of Lynn.
 Dever won the corresponding nomination on the Democratic side by @ less than two-to-one margin over former Mayor Roger L. Put nam of Springfield.

After the curtain finally went up, Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" prov ed to be 2h hours of pleasant and sometimes hilarious Entertainment as the accomplished Litchfield Summer Theater Players put over their second success of the season last night.
 EctoplaSm, seances, witty spirits and just plain mortals, let loose in an English country home, consti- tuted three entertaining acts wherein the ghost of a departed EngnShman's wife is brought to earth after sear1ce and roams the house bringing chaos and confusion to the man and his second wife and twinkle to the eye of the medium responsible for the spirits return.
 Well worth any price of admis- sion is the imposing performance of Saralie Bodge as Elvira, the blithe spirit. Miss Bodge, whose talents were witnessed in last weeks play, proved her versatility as a witty, sometimes peeved and angry, but always highty and determined wisp of spirit gray bent on snuff1ing out her husbands life in order to have him join her in the great beyond.
 Wares Talented
 Coy, like a clandestine Snow White and lightly founcing about the stage like Springtime with St. Vitus dance, Miss Bodge displayed her talented wares which ranged from simple smile and light chatter to a deep frown and boiling anger. from one emotion to the next she hurried as the part demanded, and never once missed cue or @ line Surely, if this young lady has an eye on Broadway she needs no binoculars to see M-nor 1t her.
 Lawrence Slade as Charles, for naer husband of the returned ghost, turned in an almost faultless per- formance. MT. Slade, however, car- ries himself too stiffly. Slade, it must be said in all fairness, is not lacking in the proficiency depart- ment and certainly contributed much to the success of the ven- ture.
 As Charles second wife, Ruth, Sylvia Stone, who last night put on the grease paint for the first time in Litchfleld, was what the press agents call "a natural" She fitted her part like. nylons, size nine, on Lana Turner, and brought shades of Talullah Bankhead to mind. She should, if the directors are as wise as they appear to be, be given many a part this season.
 Medium Too Rapid
 A little too anxious to get of her lines, Helen Stevens as the medium, Madame Arcarti, who conjures up the vision of the ghost, otherwise | put into her difficult part the nec- essary gifts she possesses to make 1t a comical achievement.
 The three remaining members of | the cast, Chester Adams, Naomi | Lewis and Marjorie Sloan, appear | ed behind the footlights last night | for the first time this season in | Litchfield all without exception l
