FINE ATTRACTIONS BOOKED AT PARSONS’ Three fine attractions are booked for Parsons’ theater, Hartford, the first being Julia Sanderson in “The .Sunshine Girl,” which will be therec tomorrow ‘and twice on Saturday. This is a Frohman musical comedy. The comedian in the piece is Joseph Cawtharn, who plays the part Schlump, a broken-down cab driver, who poses as an heir to a soap fac- tory and his performances until his identity is discovered are one of the real funny things on the stage. “Disraeli” comes to Parsons’ on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week with George Arliss in the leading part. The story concerns Dis- raeli’s purchase of the Suez canal for | Englarfd in competition with Russia. The company is an excellent one. “The Garden of Allah” will be the attraction at Parsons’ during the en- tire week of April 27. ~Aside from its strong and interesting dramatic qualities this piace is the climax in scenic realism. The crossing of the desert by the caravan and the sand storm make a wonderful scene. of NEW BR ITAIN DAILY H ERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1914. Page of News for Theater Goers and Press Ageats Tell | of 7_1_‘hcatrical Bills CROSS REHEARSING “OUR NEW MINISTER” The announcement of the selection 6t “Our New Minister’” to be the at- traction at the Lyceum during the coming Week’ has beeri popularly re- teived. Manager Birch has received congratulations of a large number of the regular theatergoers on making this selection. The coming of Mr. Cross has also been favorably com- j mented upon to the management. The bill for next week is an especially { fine vehicle for the opening of Mr. Cross's return cngagement. Since { leaving here a few months ago Mr. ! Cross has had a number of varied ! experiences. The theater in which I he was to have played at Bangor, ! Me., burned to the ground and in an- other instance he narrowly escaped serious injury in a rallroad wreck. ! Mr. Cross is now with the company and is rehearsing-with the company daily. He will assume the role of { “Rev. Thaddeus Strong.” - This is i a character especially adapted to Mr. ! Cross’s tastes and talents. “St. Blmo,” the attraction of .this week at the Lyceum, has been well { received and’ large audienc¢es have at- , tested the popularity of it. The por- trayals by Miss Skirvin and Mr. Black- more in the play have been warmly praised. Mr. Birch, in the part o “'‘Aaron Hunt” gives one of his best character portrayals. The stage set- tings are regarded as among the best that have been specially built for the Players. “JIM” JOHNSON TO BOX AT KEENEY'S “Battling Jim” Johnson, the negro pugilist, who recently fought a ten- round draw in Paris with ‘“Jack” Johnson, is to give a three-round ex- hibition of the manly art of self de- fense at Keeney's Friday night. *“Jim" is training at McMahon’s farm in Berlin for his coming battle with “Sam” Langford and arrangements have been made to have him give a display of his skill before the Keeney patrons. His sparring partner, ‘‘Bob” Lee, will be his opponent in Friday night’s exhibition contest. Johnson is admittedly one of the best heavy- weights in the world and his appear- ance on the Keeney stage should at- tract a large number of people Fri- day night. Probably the most popular act on the program this week is Marie d’Arville’s singing specialty., Miss d’Arville, who is known on the stage as the Melba "of vaudeville, has a wonderful soprano voice of great volume and excellent tonal qualities. She recetves great applause every night for her rendition of “My Hero" and “Don't You Wish You Were Back Home.” She is undoubtedly the best soprano soloist who has been given a position on Keeney's program this season. ’ The Four Bards offer a remarkable symnastic exhibition, performing a series of astounding acrobatic feats. { Thelr hand balancing s a revelation and it creates almost a sensation every day. The Five Armstrongs have a big c¢yele specialty. They introduce con- siderable comedy in their turn, win- ning particular favor with thelr trapeze burlesque. Connors and Mann, colored enter- tainers, have a pleasing specialty, and Whalen, West and Whalen offer a comedy sketch with interpolated song and dance numbers, “THE ROOT OF EVIL" SHOWN AT FOX'S “The Root of Evil” in two parts, is the Fox picture today. Patricia Jordan loves Leonard Craig, who is poor and who for that i reason does not propose. Patricia's family has been on the ragged edge for years, Her mother and younger brother, Cyril, rebel agamnst their | poverty and continually remind Pa- tricia that the wealthy middle agea Judge March needs only a encouragement to ask Patricia to be ;his wife. Patricia thinks that mar- | ried to the judge, she can aid her family and can give her brother an i education. The judge proposes and Patricia later becomes his wife.

Smith is not the only woman's col- lege that can campaign for an en- dowment fund. Wells has entered the money getting race, and half a Imimon dollars is its mark. The new president, Kerr Duncan ‘M-chllan, A. B, B D, 8 D., spoke at the thirty-first annual re- union of the Kastern assoclation of ‘Wells college, held Tuesday at Sherty's, New York, and gave some of the reasons why the half million dollars is wanted. “Wells,” he said. ‘“stands lowest among the colleges in the size of the salaries it pays. President Burton of Smith told me that he proposed to make $2,600 a year the minimum for members of the facuity there. There isn't 1 professor at Wells who gets $2,500." Another preasing need at Waells, aside from some new dormitories and things of that kind, i an ice cream freezer. the poor. girls at our col- lege,” said President MacMillan. They “are compelled to study at an ice cream freezerless institution. Do you wonder that we are all booming the endowment fund campaign Wwith en- thuslasm ?”" The new president declared that he had “fallen in love with Wells.” “Before going there,” he said, “I knéw nothing of women's colleges. | I had taught only boys. I now ve- lieve that a woman’s college is bet- ! ter fitted to turn out educated wom- en than a man's college to turn out educated men. Wells will bear com- parison with men's colleges In its intéllectual standard, and it is.su- perfor In what I may call its tone.' Women's colleges are superior be- ! cause they have kept to the semi- nary idea—the home life at the col- lege. Also, while men’'s colleges have allowed the management of: athletics and other Aactivities to go! into the hands of the students, wom-! en’s colleges have kept these things partly in the hands of the heads. I beliéve this is a great advantage.” The chairman at the luncheon was Miss Edith Brower.

Cyril has quarreled with Martin and the brokers have wired Patricia for immediate remittance. The gardener, Hazel's father, is also in the power. of the money lender and when Hazel and the latter meet, he openly ecncourages the attentions of the ginister old man. Patricia writes to Leonard, who has arrived on his first visit home, appealing aid. The gardener delivers the note Leonard responds, lends her money and warns her to stop speculating. The gardener returns to his cottage and finds Hazel struggling in the arms o6f the money lender. The money lender is shot by Welsh. Welsh gaina possession of the note sent by Pa- trieda to Leonard.

T is sad to think that we cannot live with those we love without an I occasional roar of thunder to mar the calm and peace of our relations. But I wonder if we are not inclined to regard with too much pessi- mism these domestic storms that now and then descend upon us. “It's a terrible thing to me, but John and I can't seem to get along without quarreling once in a while,” a young bride confidled to me the other day. “1 love him very dearly and I think he loves me, but it seems as if we were simply fated to quarrel once in so often. Then everything clears up &0 nice, and we get along better than ever before for a while, but oh, [ dread the next quarrel go!" Now John and his bride are both strongly individualistic. He has his own ideas; she is not the clinging type of woman, At times they argue over matters of opinjon as strongly and as heatedly as two meh might. Again, it happens that John's bride is quite famillar with the details of his business. He often asks her advice about this or that. Sometimes he i pleased, other times her ideas ciash with hix. Both defend their be- lHefs. The point is that at times they are two forces which clash hing happens in nature over and over again. Then there is ature’s safety valve, and fine weather for another spell. The little storme that mar our don estic life are, after all, just safety valves. We have our days of storm breeding, a period when the air seems After that we have fine weather again. Tt might be better if we could avold storme but if we can't, it felly to dread them. When nature smiles, we forget the storm and utmost. We do not say “This i& a fine day—but that will come day after tomorrow or be very foolish. It is doubtful if we would even ccnsent to the abolition of all storms. A man who is never hungry can never enjoy a fine appetite: a man who has never. scen a storm, cannot half appreciate good weather. Tt may be that our domestic storms are just another arrangement of beneficent nature to make us appreciate the long stretches of really fine weather in between, STRAUS SUPPORTS REPEAL. ‘ T | The same a storm, enjoy ourselves to the how 1 dread the storm next week sometime.” That would commitee by Oscar 8.
