Famous Midget Troupe
Appearing In Person AT
New Milford Sunday


Bob Hermine's Royal Lilliputians,
who will appear in person at the
New Milford Theatre, Milford, Del,
Sunday, January 22nd, is the most
unique attraction ever to play this
area. They were recruited orginal-
ly from all the countries in Europe
as a feature for the New York
Worlds Fair. Wherever there has
been an international exposition
there have been Lilliput towns,
and it is from these communities
of little people that Bob Hermine
obtained the best midget talent
available. In addition to thrilling
Worlds Fair audiences they were
featured in MGM's movie hit of a
couple of years ago, "3 Wise
Fools" Their stage presentation is
decidedly novel and different. Their
midget band is especially enter
tanning. The unit includes Butch, 4"
the worlds smallest drummer. and
its other musicians are all individ-
ual artists that help make the group
comparable to some of the top name
bands. AS versatile a troupe as ever
to come to this area, the Lilliputi-
ans also feature wire walkers, an
iron jay aerialist, acTObatic novel
ties, dancers and singers.
The Royal Lilliptians will appear
three times at the New Milford on
Sunday at about 200, 400 and 900
P. M. They will be in addition tC
the regular screen program.

In the span of life ahead for
me, my memory of my close
friend, Leah Davis, shall be
quickened when l see star-lit
skies, a radiant sunset, a beau
tiful red rose, sweet music or
an exquisite bit of verse. These
were the things that fed her
inmOst soul and she daily ex-
pressed her appreciation of
them, and gave thanks to her
Maker for them. So many of
us are dull, drab creatures
with dark OutlOOks on life. Not
so my friend, who had smile
and a cheerful word, even in
adversely. That is a gift and
one particularly hers. During
her long Interpretation there
was little of it that she spent
in regret; she was too busy
with plans for things she
would do when she was we'll
again. And while she had fears
for another time when she
would be overcome again, she
spoke about it as something
that must be endured. The end
was merciful in that it was
swift and painless and just as
she would have it. And as
look on an every day copy
book that lies open before me
in which she wrote precious
thoughts by others, I know she
lived by what is therein writ
ten, because they are so much
like her. She made the mos
of her opportunities. realizing
we only pass this way but
once. We could be like hel
and with prOfit.-V. S. T.
