Press Agents Tell of Theatrical Bills “OUR NEW MINISTER” OPENS THIS EVENING ““Our New Minister” opens for the week’s engagement this evening at the Lyceum. ing one of the most enjoyable /bills of the year. There is an added in- terest in the presentation of this week as it brings back into the cast Alfred Cross, the former leading man, who succeeds Mr. Blackmore, Mr. Cross enjoyed unusual popularity in - his previous engagement and had a host of admirers who were well pleased with his interpretation of the roles assigned to him. 2 “Our New Minister” is a fine com- edy and dramatic vehicle. It was written by Denman Thompson and George Ryder collaborating, and the result is the production of a most ratural play. The old-fashioned country folks live out the old feeling that once a criminal always a crim- inal. One of the townspeople, “Lem Ransom,” was jailed for a crime of which he was innocent, the village folks shun him and his charming daughter “Nance.” ‘“Rev. Thaddeus Strong,” the new minister, stands out in strong contrast with the people of the town. He champions “Ransom’s” cause and eventually falls in love with the beautiful daughter. The congre- gation would then turn him out of his church and the prime mover is he who committed the crime for which “Ran- som"” suffered. Mr, Cross will play “Rev. Mr. Strong,” and Miss Skirvin will be “Nance Ransom.” Mrs. Hib- bard has a good character part. A MUSICAL TEAM KEENEY'S FEATURE “Banda Roma,” the famous Italian musical organization is to be the big feature of Keeney's show this week. The management announced this morning that it had closed a contract for a week’s engagement as the head- lirer. There are fourteen musicians in the company, each of them an artist. The band has been featured in vaudeville houses in the larger cities for the past few months and has been a big drawing cdré. A program of classical and popular selections will be rendered as every performance. ‘The Clintons, known the world over for their remarkable jumping feats, should also be a popular attraction. These people have been playing in France during the past year and won great success in the Parisian thea- ters. Since coming to this country they have added new laurels to their collection and they have been in great demand among enterprising vaudeville magnates. 3 Joe Clancy, a Broadway comedian, will entertain with his latest song hits and a little chatter. Joe is exceeding- 1y popular with vaudeville patrons and he is regarded as a valuable addition to any up-to-date program, Radcliffe and Nelson, two nifty girls,. will appear in an entertaining riovelty, and Coffman and Coffman, Juvenile entertainers, will offer a song and dance number. SMALL PANIC AT FAIR. Some Irresponsible Person Dropped » Lighted Match Into Curtains. ‘What gave promise of becoming a dangerous panic occurred at Hanna's armory during the Eagles' fair on Saturday night at about 11:45 o’clock. Some irresponsible young man dropped a match to the floor near some curtains, adjacent to the main en- trance to the hall. In an instant flames were shooting towards the ceil- ing and the cry of “fire” rang out “through the hall. Immediately there was a stampede for the outer door, women scream- ing and men pushing. A few, with clear heads, wrapped coats about the flames and soon extinguished them. During all the excitempent Judd’s orchestra continued to play in an at- tempt to still the panic which seemed inevitable, The fair will come to a close this evening with an entertainment and dance.

More than five hundred persons took part in the picturesque spectacle, rep- resenting historical periods from the days before the colonists up to and beyond the present. The costumes of the future, which were worn by some of the handsom- est men and women advocates of the political equality cause, were built on Greek lines, long draperies for the women and short ones for the men. The feminine design was made of two pieces of cloth put together with two seams, and the skirt portion was slashed up both sides. But there was fulness underneath so that not even a glimpse of stocking showed above the classic sandal. Pink tights adorned the legs of the future men and they wore instead of a coat a tunic to the hips. There were no hats and the women's heads ‘were bound with ribbon fillets. Barefooted girls, in bright yellow draperies, danced the dance of Tri- Both Sides. umph, this figure gignifying the time when all women will have the ballot. The six periods of American life around which Miss Hazel MacKaye wrote the pageant were ‘“Before the Coming of the White Man,” ‘“‘Salem at the Time of the Witch Trials" ‘‘Before the Revolution,” “The Ci ‘War,” “The Present” and the “Fu- ture.” The participants in the var- ious tableaux and scenes, played first in a dim light, which, as civilization advanced, gréw brighter and brighter, until when the Future arrived the men and women stood forth in a dazzling brightness. The pageant was given by the Men'’s League for Woman Suffrage in collaboration with the Equal Suffrage Franchise society. City officials approved of the en- tertainment for helping the woman suffrage campaign by serving as pat- rons. And the list of other patrons and patronesses included some of the most prominent names in the busi- ness and social world. Suffrage | leaders attended, each wearing her “Votes for Women” colors. After | the presentation of the pageant every- body danced the one-step and the hesitation waltz. * *Breakfast.

Mix together one -pint of 'sifted pas- try" flour one-quarter of a teaspoon- ful of salt and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Separate the whites and yolks of six eggs, dropping the yolks into the mixing bowl. Into a saucepan put one cupful and a hailf of granulated sugar, add one-quarter of a cupful of boiling water, stir over the fire until the sugar is dissolved, then boil for one minute. Have the yolks beaten until very thick and light colored. Slowly pour over them the boiling syrup, beating fast and continue the beating until the mixture is cold and very thick and spongy; this may be hastened by standing_the bowl in a pan of cold ‘water. Add a part of the mixed flour, then the lemon, then half of the whites, which have been whipped to a very stiff, dry froth, then the re- mainder of the flour and the whites. Mix very lightly with a cutting mo- tion, turn into a shallow pan lined with buttered paper and bake in a moderate oven. Rhubarb Jelly—Rhubarb quickly converted into a dessert.

' THREE GOOD PLAYS COMING TO PARSONS’ “Disraeli” will be the attraction at Parsons’ theater, Hartford, tomorrow and Wednesday,. with a matinee on Wednesday afternoon. The part of Disraeli, Lord Beaconsfield, the Jew, who, despite the prejudice from which his race suffered in England in the Victorian period, rose to the premier- ship, made Queen Victoria empress of India and for many years domi- nated the affairs of the British em- pire, affords Mr. Arliss a fascinating character. for delineation. The star will be supported by practically the same company that appeared in Hart- ford in “Disraell’” earlier in the sea- son, including Mrs. Arliss, Gladys ‘Wynne, Margaret Dale, Leila Repton, Lilla Campbell, Charles Harbury, Henry Carvill, Vincent Sternroyd, Dudley Diggs and others. The' biggest thing scenically ever attempted upon the stage is “The Garden' of Allah,” which is coming to Parsons for an engagement of eight nights, beginning on Monday evening, April 27, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday,' This will be the first engagement of this spectacle-drama in Hartford. The play is a dramatiz- ation of the novel of the same name by Robert Hichens. The locale is the desert of Sahara and its environs to the north, Briefly told, the story deals with a Trappist monk, who becomes weary of the monastery and yields to his natural inclinations. He wanders off into Moroceco, and, at a dangce house in Kiskra, meets and falls in love with a wanderer like himself, who confesses that she is half gypsy. He constitutes himself her protector, which eventually leads to their love and marriage. Their adventures in the desert and the final discovery by the wife that her husband is a monk who has broken his vows to the church—her renunciation and his re- FASHION HINTS BY MAY NANTON 7979 Loose Coat, 34 to 44 bust. There are almost numberless uses to which a coat of this kind can be put. It is wel! adapted to general wear and is easy to slip on and o%e. It is really ideal for traveling, whether by steamer or by rail, and it makes one of the best motor coats that can be devised. There are generous pockets arranged under the front por- tions, and the coat can be rolled open as shown here or buttoned up closely about the throat to be fectly protective and exclude both wind and dust. The sleeves can be made bell-shaped with trimming mlp: or bands, or they can be made per- iectly plain and stitched to simulate cuffs. There are numberless materials ap- propriate for such coats. Woal serge and wool cheviot, as well as éponge, are ing much used, and under the“fie:‘d of novelties are shown mixtures and cloths without number. tch tweed must not be forgotten, fof it is exceedingly smart and exceedingly durable. For the medium size will be needed 7 yards of material 27 inches wide, 54 ards 36 inches wide, or 314 yards 44 nches wide. ‘The pattern 7979 is cut in sizes from g: to 44 inches bust measure. It will mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents. \ SUIT FOR $300,000. Boston and Maine Road Stockholders Takes Action Against Company.

ABUSE or presume upon a Courtesy which has been extended to you by a friend is extremely bad manners, isn't it? Nobody denies that and nobody would boast of doing it. But to abuse a courtesy extended by a business house—that's an absolutely different thing, X At least a great many people seem to think so. Let me tell you a few samples of this sort of abuse which have cently come under fny eve. The giving of samples to a prospective customer is a business cour- tesy. It costs the firm a good deal more than most people realize. The manager of a wholesale house which handles expensive tapestry goods told me that their samples to retailers cost them about $10,000 a year. How the cost of samples for a big department store compares with tihs I do not know, but 1 am sure it is not small. P Now many people abuse this courtesy by carclessly taking half a dozen samples where one or two would do, but others abuse it in a much worse way. The shop of which I spoke has a retail department which handles many expensive figured tapestries and brocades, selling at from $5 to $10 a yard. In order to show the figures they used to give a sample several inches square. But they aren’t doing it nowadays because of the craze for tapestry fancy work. What's the connection you ask? Well they found that a great many women who asked for samples used them in making tapestry bags and other things of that sort. Again, permitting a customer to take goods home to examine is a business courtesy of which advantage is often taken. A salesman in an upholstery shop told me of a Woman who bought expensive cur- tains from him to take home on approval. They were went back the next day. This was not unusual so he took no notice of the incident until he read that the same woman was being sued by another shop. She had bought some costly rugs there the same day and sent them back also. The point was that she was giving a party that night and wanted to dress up her apartment. The man who sold her the rugs found this out in some way and refused to receive them back. He finally sued her and won his case. Taking the prospective customer to see a house in his automobile is a business courtesy often extended by the real estate agent. A woman who ought to be above such things astonished me by calmly announcing that several times when she felt like having an automobile ride she had gone to a real estate office and felgned interest in some property they had advertised. Now of course we all know that the business courtesy iz not extend- ed for love of the customer, but through hope of landing him Neverthe- less a courtesy is a courtesy and to abuse it is to demean yourself. Furth- ermore it injures the innocent public, for in the last analysis it is the public which always suffers from such abuses, either by having the cour- tesy withdrawn or by payving for it in the overhead charges. R i Nearly all of the passengers - on both vessels were asleep, and there was little excitement. re- STEAMERS COLLIDE. Carolina and Cleveland Damaged in Crash at Quarantine Station.
