Members of the company have an ! advantage by reason of the fact that they have played in the piece before. Miss Skirvin has been most success- ful in her portrayals of thé roll of “Pamela Gordon.” Mr. Blackmore | has assumed. the role of “Edgar Holt” { on previous occasions, The role of “Lucile Purcelle” is one in which Mrs. Hibbard has scored one of her biggest hits. The character carica- tures a young woman, lacking ins talent and appearance, but over sup- plied with self assurance of her abil- ities as an actress. For this attrac- tion Manager Birch has arranged for the appearance of a new actress. There are some pretty settings in the next week’'s play and the opportunity is afforded for a dis- play of pretty costumes. “Monte Cristo” continues to attract capacity houses and advance sales in- dicates that the interest in the pro- ‘ duction is still increasing. There will be a matinee performance Saturday | afternoon. ; THE RYAN SISTERS POPULAR AT KEENEY’S Probably the most versatile enter- tainers who have held the boards at Keeney's in some time are the Ryan Sisters, who this week present an act that is gaining in popularity every dmy, This clever pair works every minute and has considerable success in its attempts to provoke laughs. They open with a pianologue, intérpolating some - eccentric dances that are cleverly done. . They also ! offer a few songs and bring their turn to a close with a musical burlesque that has exceptional merit. This last | teature is the bekt part of their act and it,goes bjg with the audience. H Real artistic numbers are provided by Mlle Santi ‘and the- Harmony Belles, The former entertains with a seriés of classic dances, her program { i made up of artistic Green, Egyptian and Hungarian numbers.

They do a number of good stunts on the trapeze and find great favor for the business like man- ner in which they go about their work. Harrison, Stewart and a company of tcr negro entertainers present a far- cical sketch entitled “The Boss Bar- ber.” The act has several good features. “THE DESERT STING” FOX’S PHOTO PLAY “The Desert Sting” is the photo play at Fox's theater. When a young man, John Blake, ‘Will Blake’s grandfather, was on a hunt for curios among the Indians. An Indlan girl is fascinated bv him and, following the custom of ier tribe, sings the song of lamentation when she sees that he is leaving. As he waves her aside she prophesizes that some day, one of her race will call to one of his race, and the white man will answer. After Will Blake grows hood, he is strangely fond of Indian relics and bric-a-brac. Becoming interested in radium he goes to the wedtern desert on a prospecting tour with Porfessor Edwards and his daughter, Helen, to whom Blake is engaged. Reaching the desert the party start out and Blake is bitten by a snake. Alema, a half breed Indign girl, draws part of the poison from his arm with her lips and takes him to her tens, saying that in three days she will know if he will live or die. She refuses to allow anyone to see him until the time she mentions. Apoe, a Navajo brave, tries to in- duce Alema to return to her tribal jcamp. She refuses, having fallen n love with Blake. Apoe is jealous and attempts to kill Blake. but is pre- i vented by Alema. During his convalescence = Blake has become infatuated with Alema. Helen, mistaking his restlessness for dangerous symptoms, decides that they must return home. They are ready to -depart when ‘Blake hears Alema singing the song lamentation. He is - irresistably and follows her to the to man- attracted desert. Helen sees them leave, goes after between them. He' remains with Alema, whom Helen at Jast recog- | nizes_as the girl of her vision. Apoe, mad with revenge, fills Blake's ; water bag with poisoned water. Blake is taken violently il and in his de- lirium calls for Helen.

In this charming negligee The long, logse ‘mantle of diaphanous stuff over a high waisted frock confined un- der a girdle is distinctive and smart. Mantle and frock are of white indestruct- ible voile, and a trimming of coral and amethyst beads borders the mantle. i A Veal Stew. UT four pounds of veal into strips| three inches long and one inch thick, peel twelve large potatoes and cut them into slices one inch thick, spread a layer of veal on the bottom of the pot, sprinkle in a little sait and a layer of veal seasoned as before. Use up the veal thus. Over the last layer of veal put a layer of slices of salt pork and over the whole a layer of potatoes. Pour in water till it rises an inch over the whole, cover it close, boil fifteen minutes and simmer it an hour. Chili Sauce. Eighteen ripe tomatoes, three red peppers, four onions. Chog these all fine. One cupful brown Bsugar, two and a half cupfuls vinegar, one table- spoonful salt, one tablespoonful mus- tard. Stew all together one hour or more. Delicious Chicken Croquettes. A dish of cold chicken should be cut from the bone and minced fine; then pepper, then a layer of potatoes, then Variety of ‘Delicious Recipes season with salt, pepper and juice of & lemon.

A little hook placed in the frame- work of the front door affords a con- venient resting place for the mail box and door keys. As one leaves the house or apartment the key can be slipped into glove or purse, and when one returns it can be rehung. The telephone book and pad for writing memorandums of numbers are ; in readier access if suspended near the telephone. If any article is always in the way or never seems to have a place the best way to solve the problem is to hang it up. patterns that persist in littering up the sewing room would be much less trou- ble if slipped into a bag and hung on | a hook. Only as you study your own needs can you realize what service a hook will render you. The mop handle can be suspended without any trouble by inserting a lit- tle looped screw at the top or by tying a piece of string in the groove made in the handle for this special purpose. When the kitchen is very crowded cup hooks screwed along the side or the ends of the kitchen table afford handy -places on which to hang the| potato masher, kitchen scissors, nutmeg For instance, even those | for the Hook J |merous other articles ly\u around. When one has not a clothes rack in the bedroom or sufficient room for one the hook on the wall will be found lqu‘te convenient for bath robe or ki- imono. In many homes hooks are found on the bathroom door or about the framework of the bathroom door, on which the clothes can be suspended while one is bathing. . Hooks' in the stairway ‘that leads from the cellar will be found quite convenient for articles that have no |abiding place. that are used too fre- quently to be stored and yet that are in the way about the house or living | rooms. | USEFUL FLOWER HOLDERS.
