Miss George is to Press Agents Tell of gfhcatrigal Bills “OUR NEW MINISTER” WITH CROSS IN LEAD “Our New Minister” is to be the attraction for the coming week at: the Lyceum. This attraction is of- fered in consequence of numerous popular requests. It is a really re- markable bill, having a dramatic his- tory that has seldom been paralleled. 1t was played most successful a few reasons ago and so popular was it that every road company Wwhich was out lhnfl to come back and play return engagements within two weeks after the initial production. Capacity bus- iness was the result of every per- formance. It was written by Den- man Thompson, the author and prin- cipal in “The Old Homestead,” which in itself/ is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of it, and George W. Ryder, a dramatist of considerable ability. ' The action® transpires in three acts. Abundant comedy and intense dramatic situations are fourjd in the lines. Alfred Cross, who was the popular leading man with the players up to the early part of this season, will re- turn to the cast and will be seen in | the role of the “Rev. Thaddeus Strong,” our new minister. “8t. Elmo,” the attraction offered this week, has had a most pleasing reception. The .patrons have liked | the performances given thus far. The | special interest that is attached to! this week’s presentation is that Mr. | eac! Blackmore, who is to retire at the end of this week on account of hav- ing accepted an engagement in Pater- | son, N. J, created the role of “St. Elmo.” There will be a matinee performance on Thursday afternoon. FIVE ARMSTRONGS GOOD AT KEENEY'S Although not billed as the headlin- er, the act of the Five Armstrongs makes a strong bid for first honors at | Keeney’s this week. 1t is a sensa- tional bicycle specialty witn some ex- tremely funny comedy fegtures. The act opens the show and gets the au- dience in the proper humor to thor- .oughly appreciate the specialties that follow. In the quirtet are two very clever young ladles. They can ride cyeles of every .description imagina- ble and can also do a number of dif- ficult acrobatic stunts. They are real } athletes and give a splendid exhibi- tion of their abilities. The burlesgue features of the turn ars amusing and the audience seemingly enjoys them greatly. Marie d'Arville, the Melba ot vaudeville, has a singing number that is one of the most popular acts on the program. This little girl has an ex- ceptionally big voice and in each { lection she can be heard clearly in every part of the house. Her enunci- ation is unusually good and the tonal qualities of her voice, particularly in the upper register, are admira- ble. Her rendition of “My Hero,” the song hit of “The Chocolate Soldier,” is one of the most appreciative things in this week’s show. The Four Bards give thrilling gymnastic act for the headliner. They accomplish a number of difficult stunts, many of which are of the spectacular order. Their uct is well worth seeing. I ‘Whalen, West and Whalen offer a comedy sketch, “The Girl Who Lost Broadway” and introduce some en- tertaining singing and dancing num- bers. Connors and Mann, colored en- tertainers, are winning the approval | of the Keeney audiences every day. a 1 Bauer, Violinist, Friday. Te have advanced to a high place ! —many think the highest—among present-day pianists without having taken a piano lesson or contemplated i a planist's career until started on the { highroad to fame as a violinist, has been the unique experience of Harold | Bauer, who will appear in recital at | Unity hall, Hartford, Friday night. It is doubtful if any other artist of in- | ternational fame éver entered his pro- | fession in such a_wholly accidental fashion, because Bauer began life i with a determination to be a violin- jist and played his first piano number { before a great musician, almost by accident.

Thy¢ front 1s narrow, forming almost a panel and sides and back are cut in one byl dray gracefully. There is a plait ai side of the panel below the drapery, which provides freedom for walking. A smart touch is given by the strap arranges over the back when the skirt is cut with the high waist line. The model is a good one both for the street and the house, for it is equally well adapted to the suit and to the gown. Every fashionable material is soft; consequently, they all drape well.

B. Darling at the salad demonstration for the benefit of the Wellesley Col- lege fund, held at the Copley-Plaza, Boston Monday afternoon. ‘“‘Ten new salads” was the title of a dainty pro- gram containing the recipes used in the demonstration, coples of which were seld at the door by Mrs. C. P. Purdy. The cover design was in gold and dark blue on a pale green ground. There were more than ten recipes in the pamphlet, including several that were given to Mrs. Darl- ing by the inventors before they have been put on the market, The *“Filene Special”’ and the “Ken- tucky Salad” of Miss Farmer's are advanced styles in the culinary world. The former is a delectable and elab- orate compound, of which halves of Malaga grapes stuffed Wwith cream cheese are only one feature. The Kentucky salad is a jelly, made with/ gelatine, cucumber, and seasoning, served on lettuce mayonnaise dressing. Other combi- nations were a fruit salad by Mrs. Darling; cherry salad, Spanish salad pineapple with | by Mrs. Darling; Florida salad, made | of hearts of palms, California, Elton | Aphrodite and pineapple and peppers salads and ‘“'specials” of the Geor- gian, the Copley-Plaza, the Ritz-Carl- ton and Delmonico’s. The last two pages of the book were given over to ! rules for different dressings. As Mrs. Darling made the salads, assisted by Miss Margaret Sutherland of Simmons college, she e)q')llh\edl each process, and should the up-l ance of each salad: before it was| dressed. The salads were made in small quantities, and the young wait- resses made several duplicates of each. They were then divided and passed for everyone to try. Each person in the audience was provided | with a plate, fork and napkin, and tiny water crackers were served be- tween samples, to restore the taste and prepare for the next nibble. Ten seniors of the domestic sci- ence course of Bimmons college acted as waitresses. After the demonstra- tion several posters were auctioned by M. 8. Brooks, head of the French department of the Brookline High school. These were all hand-made by Miss Amy Sacker, Miss Beatrice Darling, Miss Ethel Hoyle, Mrs. The- odore Plympton, Miss Florence W. Swan, Miss Dorothea Shepherd and others. The posters sold at prices ranging from fifty cents to $6.10, the one by Miss Sacker bringing the lat- ter sum. The ball room foyer of the hotel had been given for the afternoon by the management, and all the food ma- terlals used were donated by Boston firms.

Her grandfather had been one of Emerson’s neighbo and Molly had listened to storles of the great philosopher from her baby: hood.

And, do you suppose the Author-Man has anyone more interesting and stimulating than Thoreau? Well here's son of the best of him too.” The Lady laid two volumes on the table and redched into the book case for a third. "“Of course you've heard about the famous circle of wits and autho and critics and actors that gathered about Johnson,” she said. :'The Aut) Man doeen’t find anything like that even in the Big City. And here it right in this room with all the original flavor preserved for you by a who had a genius for doing just that.” The third volume was Boswell's Johnson. ““There, that's just a sample or two,” said the Lady, coming back her chair, “of the stimulating people you can meet any time you ' ¥ou see, Mol! she went on, “I used to feel the way you do about meetl; real people and being afrald I'd stagnate if T didn’t.
