two columns to tell about all of the

stage, and every line would be one
of praise. There was D. Putnam

all the old songs. to an audience
that wouldn’t let him go.

The program began with the in-
cempnrible Fan, who brought out

for SMGA (Silvcrmlne Guild of Art-
ists). introduced the artists and ad
libbcd. and told stories that haven't

Robinson, gal-bed as a. Swiss Yodeler
on the Chautauqua crlcuit. came out
with Adele Klacr. and the pair gave
the best imitation of a “welcome"

your-old David Mills came out and
gave a weather report—J‘Ii Aain't

David Robinson did his little piece.
bringing down the curtain for in.

The second half opened with an
old English accompaniment. . and
the stage rose to a medieval setting.

Tall candlesticks and Gothic backed

glld chairs stood on a sombre stage.
Gordon Brindley. well known for
her readings of Chaucer. in a Hill
century costume. presented a mono-'
legue of a hopper of that time. tell-
ing how the King had smiled on
her.

The next act was one to remem-
ber. Frazer Galnge should feel
well repaid. for never did an audi-
ence more wholeheartedly and sin-
cerely pay tribute to an artist. Think
of all the songs you save best: im-
agine s. baritone voice true as a
bell. without a flaw: picture‘s sing-
er with a personality that leaves
nothing to be desired, and you have
Mr. Gelnge's performance. If ever
the expression "bringing down the
house." could be used. it should be
in this case. The audience clam-
cred. stormed. cheered. and literally
went frantic. can they wanted was
that Mr. Gaingo should keep on
singing.

And he was generous. Beginning
with "Annie Laurie." he captivated
the artists. They stormed and shout-
ed, and then he nodded. There was
a silence that was absolute. and the
piano sounded the first bars of
'I.eezio Lindsay." The old Scotch

song of the Highland lover may
have been sung better at some time,
but it is doubtful. the audience
stood up and healed for more.
“Inch 1.0mm." followed. More riot

ed es a concepeion to the rest of
the audience.

The story. briefly, was the age
old one of the comedy of errors.
as used by Chaucer before Shakes-
pear took' it. Man and wife and
daushtor have lovers who mustn't
be discovered. and the Butler "Dis.

room in plain sight behind the in.
sglnery. furniture. The climax came
when the butler end the mistress of

The first exhibit of the fall season
opened in the Bridgeport Art Lea-
gue yesterday. An exhibition of 23
canvassce by Edwin Willard Dem-

ing. Amorica's‘most important pain-
ter of Indian and animal life fee.
tured the affair.

Indian studies predominate in the
exhibition as they do in Mr. Dem-
lng's work in general. Seven of the
pictures represent folk legend and
folk faith subjects. and a number
of others dipict religious ritual ob.
served in connection with the hunt
and other activities. All of them
are filled with the same inspiration
which caused Henry Falrtlold Os-
born to say recently:

“Deming penetrates the deep re-
serve of Indian stocism and finds
there an underlying reverence and
awe in to presence of the great
founder f Nature. and flashes of
the underlyigg human spirit of son.
timent and tondernoss."_

Four of the folklore pictures re.
present episodes from life of the
legendary Indian hero who is the
prototype of the Hiawatha story.
One is a beautiful mystical concep-
tion of the crede‘icn of the Ploidee.
and one is a picture of Hlnneehaha.

Mr. Deming has incorporated
these folk legend subjects into the
mural decorations he was some time
ago commissioned to paint for the
hall of the E. 3. Harrison: home at
Arden. New York.

One canvass. “Runnipg the Buf-

The hrst executive board meeting

Mr. John Potter of Cockenoe ave~ »

Mr. and Mrs. Anthony DeCesare
of hlulvov street celebrated their
twenty fifth wedding anniversary
yesterday.

Up at the DeCesare bungalow on
Roion Hill. the party was staged.
the grounds being attractively dec-
orated with Japanese lanterns.
About fifty guests were present.
from Nerwnlk. Bridgeport and New
York city.

Here is woman‘s point of view on
our newest national disgrace......
crime.

A commission has just been named
in this country to determine the
cause of the terrific increase in
crime. and to find some solution to
the problem.

or course, changing times have
brought new crimes. or what appear
to be new crimes to us.

As a matter of fact. they are as
old as civilization itself. For what
is rum-running but smuggling. . . . . .
and what is “high-jacking" but
crime feeding on crime,

The increase in crime which has
come with prohibition is due to
weakness in enforcing the law. And
this, weakness of law-enforcement in
turn is born of public sentiment.
~But there are deeper causes of
crime, and they are more apparent.
I think. to women than they are to
men.

The solution, too, is in the hands
of women. » _ ‘

Let me. explain.

More than halfthe offenders in any
police court in the country are men
and women who have no heme-sur-
roundings, or whose home surround-
ings are improper.

And of these more than half are
feeble-minded. . . . .men and women
incapable of knowing right from
wrong. . . . . .crimlnsl agents ready to
the hand of sharp. professional law-
violators.

Lombrose. the criminologist, used
to say that he could tell a. crook by
looking at him. Everybody, he said.
was born either honest er dishonest.
According to him. the contour of
the face. the formation of the skull.
the look in the eye. betrayed either
the crock or the honest man.

.But few believe this nowadays.

Cynthia Grey Says:

saint......for instance Dicky Loob
who killed young Bobbie Franks in
Chicago..... .charged with the most
heinous of crimes. And again we
see a man with the face of a brig-
and devoting his life to good works.

A child born to the life of the
streets has more than an even
chance to become a criminal. If in-
telligent. he becomes a law-breaker
of the most dangerous type. If a.
mental weakling he becomes merely
the tool of the normal-minded.

Few of our States have done any
,i-caliy effective work toward solving
this problem of the feeble-minded.
Such institutions for their care as

exist are so over-crowded as to be ,~

all but useless. And so the number
of moron-criminals increases year by
yehr.

As they increase we may expect
crime to increase! And to legislate
for some new way of protecting the
world against‘them is the work of
Women.

Why? Because the improvement.
of the race is the natural problem of
the mothers of the race. It is the
sort of thing that women under-
stand. . . . . .nnd the thing
should interest them vitally.

What‘s the solution for the other
class of crooks ...... those started
on the downward pitili by improper
home surroundings?

Well, for. one thing. we can make
marriage more difficult by a law of
eugenics ...... and time reduce the
number of divorces and broken
home and children in the streets.
We can do more to keep together
good homes tln-eatenmi with destruc-
tion by poverty.

Mothers' pensions would help
along with that. for one thing.

Cost too much. you say? .

Not so much as we pay now for
workhouses, prisons, insane asylums
and orphans’ homes!

Dr. and Mrs. Liyod Webster ot~
Gibson avenue left the island Sun-
day and will take up their winter
residence in New York City.
