THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY, CONN., FRIDAY JULY 9 96

contributed toward creating a con- vincing portrayal of the spiritual man who preferred death to touch ing Salomes oft-kissed lips.
 Laudatory presentations were also given by Harold Bromley, as the unhappy King Herod, torn between his superstitious fear of the Prophet and Salome's demand for the holy mans head. Queen Herodious, sim ful, bold and unbelieving, and vic tim of Johns calumny because of her innumerable affairs with East ern potentates, was ably handled by Doreen Mclean. Others deserving Of special mention are Marguerite Lewis, as the Cappadocian maiden of many loves, and John Hayes, the young Syrian captain of the guards who kills himself because of his unrequited love for Salome.
 The brunette beauty and grace of Carlotta and Yvonne Sherwell, of Hillside Avenue, this city, added considerably to the colorful and moving drama set against the cold ness of budding civilization
 Genius Of Wilde Evident
 "Salome", enriched by the genious of Oscar Wilde, will unquestionably provide absorbing theater fare for generations to come. It is the story of unbridled human emotions, of sensuous organism beating against the ascetic heart and inroads of
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-19

Christianity. The love of the se- ductive dancer for the spiritual man John will always make fascin- ating drama, since to Salome loves means only embraces and ardent kisses. But her wiles remain pow erless against the Man of Faith.
 How the dancer achieves her de- sire to kiss the Prophets lips, how she yields her seductive grace to one end-reyenge for the holy man s insults-and her ultimate destruc- tion, as presaged by the godly man, places Oscar Wilde's one-act play in the immortal realm.
 "The Farce of the Worthy Mas ter Pierre Patelin," done in construc- twist style, and offered prior to the showing of Salome" was included on the bill to fill in time since the Wilde play requires less than two hours.
 Though it is an interesting ap- petizer, the story of the cheating lawyer and draper of medieval Par ish, who find the tables turned on their avarices by a half-wit shepard, it might have been omitted, it is felt "Salome" is by far such rich and filling theatre fare, it must be di- gested WithSut trimmings.

 Knew Many Waterburians
 Patrick Winters was gentle figure He smiled in his greeting to you:. he laughed at times, and yet could be most serious when occasion demanded. He got to know thousands of people by req son of his employment. and those who had business with him, seemed to like him His best days were in and around the late Nineties and the turn of the century; for it was then he was full of life and en- ergy, and really felt his good health would be with him indefin- itely.

BY THE OUT EASTER

Patrick J. Winters, who died a short time ago, out of the city. but who was buried here, saw good deal of Waterbury in the old days. He saw 1t, too, in it's gayeSt days, long before the advance of the present day family automobile.
 MT. Winters was not of Water bury; he came here from his na- tive city of Norwich about the time of the opening of the Reid SJ Hughes dry goods store on Bank Street, at the present site of the Rowland Hughes Company. He was young then, slick in dress and appearance, and continued along through the years as one of the leading saleSmen of that well known and popular trading es- tabliShment. This was at time when the E. T. Turner dry goods store was located at the corner of Bank Street and Harrison alley, Conlon Brothers across the street in Exchange Place, and the Miller & Peck store at its present stand. Reid & Hughes grew into becom- ing the leading store of it's kind in the city. From his position as clerk in the dress goods dept. Pat rick Winters was advanced to the position as official buyer, living as he did first at Is State Street and later at 50 Kellogg Street.
 Acmes Club Outstanding
 In those days of the Nineties, one of the most popular social clubs of the city was the AcmeS, whose quarters were in and about the so-called Platt block at the junction of East Main Street and Phoenix Avenue. Pat joined the organization, and was active in it's social affairs, and also amateur show productions. My, how those young men of that day dressed, including MT. Winters Many of the club members carried official walking sticks, and made 1t part of their Sunday attire. Of medium size, straight in posture, his bear ing along with his dress, were such as to attract.
 The years rolled along, or until Pat, had a chance to improve him. self, and hired out elsewhere. But he returned, and at one time was the manager of the Barker bakery in North Main Street opposite the Green. Then, he made more changes until finally he went back to his old line of trade in the mems dept of the Miller & Peck establishment. It was here, it ap- peared, that time had caught up with him, for while he continued to be employed, his health failed him in the end, and he became crippled. We saw him in his lat ter days quite often, noting the marked difference in his condition from the time we saw him first walking along out east, after he had married, and taken up his residence out here. We never met the man; we just saw" and "ob- served" him. But then that is what Time does to all of us; we are big, strong and healthy today, and move along with alertness, only to be attacked the next day by something which slows us, down, and eventually forces us to retire to the side lines to await

CT and her love for the Prophet John.
 Miss Losch, a young woman of exotic beauty and dangerous grace, portrayed as fascinating a "Salome" as most veteran theater-goers pres ent had ever seen. It is worth a trip to New Milford merely to view the grace and skill of the interna- tionally-knoWn dancer.
 Morny as John"
 John Morny, who invariably scores an outstanding performance, caught with finesse and artistry the unforgettable character of John the Baptist, crying out constantly against the iniquities of Herodias, !ll-gotten wife of Herod and mother of Salome. The sparseness of flesh on the Morny physique and the set of hls high cheekbones further
