The scenic artist of the Ly- ceum Players has had experience in { the construction and operation of this specihl scenic feature and it will be reproduced here with all-the ef- fects to produce realism, THE TWO FRANKS GOOD KEENEY NUMBER Undoubtedly the best act of its kind to appear here, the acrobatic specialty of the Two Franks, one of the speclal attractions at Keeney's this week, is proving one of the most popular numbers on the pro- gram. While it opens the show, "a position usually given to acts of minor importance, this number 1s really of headline calibre and this week it vies with the leader for premlier hon- ors. The Franks do some exception- ally clever tricks, displaying great strength, skill and originality. Every number is of a novel character and is received well by the audience every day. Bert Swan and his educated alliga- tors continue to attract great atten- tion. A quintet of these huge rep- tiles, each trained in a surprising manner, is exhibited in this number. They perform a series of feats in a glass tank and also do some wrestling with their trainer .on the floor. Mr. Swan worked for years teaching the ‘“‘gators’” and even now he works with VIRIET MILLINERY 0. Trimmed hats at bargain prices for this weék only.

Clara Butt and Kennerly Rumford Give Concert in Hartford, May 12 CLARA To Appear at Foot Guard Royal Albert hall, London, with-its scating capacity of 6,000, and 2,000 persons standing in addition to that number, seldom has presented a more remarkable scene than on the occa- sicn of a recital given by Mme. Clara Futt and Kennerley Rumford, shortly before the famous English contralto and her husband sailed for America a year ago. The concert was an after- | neon affair, and the boxes and stalls | were fijled with the aristocracy of the United Kingdom. H “Clara Butt,”” wrote a correspon- dent, *looked taller and “handsomer than ever, For several minutes she remained bowing, bowing, wonderflng‘ when the cheering would stop. “It was in the center of a silence, | which had quite an uncanny effect { ‘“aAblde With Me."

Years ago the whole world enthused about Clara Butt's singing and de- clared nothing more stupendous was possible. Yet since then her voice has actually increased in volume, just as her singing has become more extra- ordinarily artistic. “Perhaps the most remarkable effect of the afternoon was produced by Clara Butt's inspired rendering of From the time the opening lines floated up into the vast dome until the final words faded and died, the dense human throng re- mained rigid, their gaze centered upon the hypnotic singer.” Tickets for the great Clara Butt concert at Foot Guard hall, Hartford after the terrific uproar, that Clara Butt's voice soared up through the ' Independence of * Makes Him English Playwright Has Had can be had at Pierce’s Music store tomorrow. Husband Love Wife More to Keep on Being Sweet- heart and She Likes Him the Better for it— Nothing Degrading About Independence. A Dbrisk, energetic little woman, “so happy she couldn't be more so, and growing younger every day,” is Mrs. Havelock Ellis, wife of the Eng- lish playwright and philosopher, who is over here for six weoks lecturing on her husband’s theories. When seen at Mrs, Joseph T. McLane's, 223 East 17th street, New York, on Mon- day, ghe put down both happiness and of Mr, Ellis. For this independence, she says, enables her to love him “more than anything else on earth,” whereas a merely conventional union would have resulted in a merely conventional sep- aration. “If my husband had supported me,” she sald, “we could never have lived happily together; but he hasn't. I have always earned my own living, and the knowledge that 1 could leave at any time has made him care the mote for me. He has had to keep on being my lover, my sweetheart.” #Do you think there is anything de- grading about a woman's belng sup- ported by her husband?"” “I don’t think there’s anything ‘de- grading’ about it till they see that But this must Ye taught them. They must be made to see the thing in its true light.” Mrs. Ellis admitted, modestly that her lectures would doubtless elucidate the matter. Suffrage, she added, was merely a step, a “spoke in the great ‘wheel” of feminine advances; it was not the end, but beginning, of the emancipation of women. “This freedom, or emancipation, must be economic,” she went on;: “otherwise women's political freedom won't amount to anything. They will | always be controlled by the men on whom they are economically de- pendent. All this the modern man is beginning to see.” “Who is the modern man? Could you point one out?”’ asked the re- porter. “The modern man will have a good dea]l of the woman in him, and the modern woman will embody a good deal of the man, He will make an idea] husband and there will be far more sympathy between them. They will always be between them the bond of courtship.” “But surely this is only for the philosophers, the imaginative and re- fined persons like yourself,” ventured the reporter; ‘“how would it work with the plain people?” “They must be taught. They can- not become anything they cannot see.” The reporter asked how factory girls could be independent on $4 or $56 a week. He was told that the wages did have a bearing on the mat- ter and that they ought to be raised. “And economic independence must be followed by spiritual independence, before woman will be perfectly free.” It is Miss Ryan who is showing the new “Country” suit—a model specially designed for country, walks, travel and general vacation wear at her shop, 79 Pratt street, Hartford.

T O ADMIT that they are wrong in any matter, however small, hurts some people more than a visit to the dentist. Such people will make the most ridiculous statements; will unhesitatingly perjure themselves; they they will call their best friends liars; they will do or say almost anything, however mean and un- worthy, rather than admit they could have been Wrong or mistaken, And in s0 doing they overreach themselves, ends by their obstinacy in seeking them. They defeat their own I"or to admit that you are wrong in some things is likely to make peo- ple more willing to believe that you are right in others; whereas never to admit that you are wrong in anything has a tendency to make believe that you are never anything but wrong. There is nothing 1 like better than to hear anyone say honestly sincerely “I can see now that I was wrong.” ment like that inspires confidence.

He's either too much of & fool to sec that he has been wrong, or too much of a coward to acknowl- edge it. Such a man in trying to defend perfect indefensible acts or state- ments weakens his power to defend that which really has justification. He is llke a general in defensive warfare who, posts on the frontier that were capable of defense and were of instead of picking out the strategie importance, would weaken his cause by obstinately trying to hold a host of untenable and unimportant positions. 3 “1 was wrong"” are very painful words for anyone to say, but the pain is of the kind that comes when you put a healing antiseptic into your wound; that is, it is short lived and the forerunner of improvement. It is good to have the courage of your conmvictions; it is even better to have the greater courage of changed convictions. “He is a fool who has never changed his mind,” writes a philosopher.
