D. THOMAS TO END LONG SERVICE FRIDAY JOHN FOX OBSERVES 85TH BIRTHDAY TODAY Has Been Affiliated With Pipe Line Business Half a Century. Athene Club Will Meet on Friday down the hill from tlie Clapp Farm district when their car stalled on tlie crossing with the front portion of the machine on the track. Only a moment after the motor had stalled, the Corry-Oleaa passenger trair; approached around tlie curve.

The crash reduced the auto to junk. As the locomotive struck the front of the oar, the car was turned partially around and shoved to the side of the right of way. Almost before the machine stopped whirling and skidding, the men clamibored out, apparently not injured. The fact that they were crowded in the small machine was believed partly responsible for their lack of injuries. Persona who witnessed the crash marveled that the men were not seriously hurt.

They said the men crawled hurriedly out of tho 11)20 Chevrolet coupe on their hands and knees after the Impact. The train which struck the car was The play formally opened the new club-rooms of the Little Theatre and the audience found the modernly decorated theatre and stage a cozy and pleasant atmosphere in which to view the work of the amateur thespians. "Margin for Error" will be repeated tonight and Friday night. The cast was well chosen and each member Interpreted his character with skill. The performances of Frederick Silverman, William P.

Dwnilaney, Her-bert Rosen and F. LaMonte Lewis were particularly outstanding. Mr. Silverman was a German consul in a large American city and it was his mysterious death that be. came the baffling Issue of the play.

As the ruthless and scheming consul, Mr. Silverman gave a convincing portrayal, his voice, carriage and mannerisms creatine the loathsomeness deserved by his character. Mr. DunLaney a tlie Baron, secretary to the consul, was ludeed well cast as the Oxford-educated Nazi. In a very sympathetic role, Mr.

DunLaney made the most of every word, and every gesture and the audience was Ira-Dressed by his perfect diction. mmi The Great Mm DICTATOR. 2- Produced, written and directed by iUf CHARLIE CHAPLIN tif-A -f' PAULETTE CODDARD Ucx Oakis Hbnuy Oanibu.

Jennings and George Karle, was the ineffectual Tom Denny, newspaper columnist who handled a thankless part with igenuine ability. Addalalde Rush, in a part allowing German speech only, was comical as the maid and had an amusing scene with the policeman. The role of Sophie, wife to the consul, was splendidly portrayed by Joau Rleketts. Frank O'Day, cast as Captain Mulroonoy, brought down the curtalu with gales of laughter. The timliness of the play, the effort put forth by the Little Theatre in its production and the remodeling of its clubrooms, merits a full house for each of the two remaining shows.
