Raymond L. Ditmars, famous curator of the New York Zoo, who presents his lecture on animal and reptile life, illustrated by five reels of film, at the New Park Avenue School next Tuesday evening, February 14. Dr. Ditmars's great work (which has already in large been accomplished) is the recording through! motion pictures of the life histories and habits of insects, reptiles and animals and of various forms of sea life. He aims to make eventually "a complete movie library of everything in zoology." When the idea first came to him.

a little over ten years Ago, he talked it over with Colonel Roosevelt and John Burroughs. Both were enthusiastic and gave whatever help they could. To obtain his wonderful pictorial records, Dr. Ditmars erected at Scarsdale, N. near his home, what is admitted to be the most complete motion picture studio of its kind.

Some of the world's queerest criatures have found temporary domicile in the Ditmars home. One of them. and perhaps the strangest of all. has found his permanent home there. "Red." a strange little monkey from British Guiana, of variety known as the red howler.

The interesting thing about this monkey is the sound-box construction of his throat. He is very little fellow, but whenever he becomes emphatic about anything the sound-box in his throat prodigiously and he gives vent to a hoarse bass roar. Dr. Ditmars comes to Hartford under the auspices of the Olivet Baptist Church Brotherhood and local management of the Kellogg Musical Bureau. Tickets.

"The Bat" to round out the week of the return engagement at Parsons's Theater, it is now almost certain that this unparalleled success will repeat its record other cities and break even a phenomenal first engagement record. So tremendous was the popularity of "The Bat" here earlier in the year that it seemed as though the record established then would stand for a long time. But now it is evident that this record will be eclipsed. Usually a play of the mystery type is not so popular on its return to any city, but this Wagenhals Kemper super-success has proved just the opposite.

It has established new high records in every city which it has appeared. This is one of only a half dozen places lucky, enough to obtain a return date.
