Any who have not had the opportunity of witnessing this thrill- ing production should not miss the last chance. Manager Birch exercised good judg- ment in the decision to present “Over Night” during the coming week in place of the bill originally decided upon. The selection of a play is the n.ost serious duty of a manager. Great care hds to be exercised. Some of the productions have elements that would prove distasteful; some have cast requirements that prohibit pre- sentation; and some cannot ve staged properly in a week’s time. It is only by reading the manuscript that these things become apparent. There is a srap to the action of “Over Night” and the comedy is excellent. Like many farce comedies it involves a case of mistaken identity yet there are so many novel elements and situations in this play that it is very different from the general run of farces based on a similar foundation. The characters are excellent. Mr, Birch has a most congenial role for the week and Miss Skirvin- has a delightful character to assume. As a hotel clerk Mr. Cross will have a part that is chock-full of ccmedy. Mrs, Hibbard also has an important role. “BRONCHO BILLY” TO BE SEEN AT FOX'S Increasing crowds seem to be a daily. occurrence lately at New Brit- ain’s only photo play theater, and the main reason is that Willlam Fox pre- sents . pictures that are worth being seen and he feels certain the people in the city of New Britain are grad- ually but surely “wising” up to this. ‘We have with us today Broncho Billy.

D DRURY.LANE PLAY “THE WHIP,” PARSONS,’ “The Whip,” the great Drury Lane melodrama of English sporting’ life, which ran for two years in London and for a season at the Manhattan Opera House, New York, will be seen at Parsons’ theater, Hartford, day and Saturday. This is an event ot great theatrical importance for never before has a production of such mag- nitude been sent on tour, five special cars being used to transport the scenery aione, for the four acts and thirteen scenes. The company num- bers one hundred and there are numerous horses and dogs, trained for the stage, which are utilized dur- ing the performance. “The Whip" is the name of a race horse bred by thé Marquis of Beverly, a gallant old sportsman who has sought to hide the fitness of his horse so that no wagers will be put on it. The marquis’ affections are divided be- tween the horse and his granddaugh- ter, Lady Diana Sartoris. As the j horse is being trained for the race i Earl Hubert of Brancaster appears in | the guise of an artist. He falls in love | with Lady Diana, and wishes to break {away from Mrs. D'Aquila, a design- ing woman with a past. At that junc- ture the earl drives an automobile | recklessly and wrecks it. He is j wounded and when he recovers he | forgets what has happened for a few ' weeks before the accident. { As Lady Diana nurses the earl, ‘aptain Sartoris, the villain, by fraud. succeeds in having records entered on the pastor's books of the marriage of Mrs. D'Aquila and Earl Hubert. This spoils temporarily the earl's ro- mance with Lady Diana and causes him to waste the major part | of his fortune. Lady Diana, however, jtells him of the fine chance “The lwnm" has to win the coming race. When Captain Sartoris learns of that he plans to wreck the car carrying the horse to the Newmarket race track. The car is smashed and scores of people hurt but the horse is rescued | i i Ninety and Nine” will be given at the | all next week, with matinees Wednes- |- White House Wedding Was : Old Fashioned Love Affair Couple Were Brought Togeiher Through Genial Courtesy of President and Mrs, Taft—Mr. McAdoo’s. Daugh- ter in Semi-Mourning The romance culminating in the | marriage of the daugnter of a presi- dent to a member of the cabinet has engaged the attention of Washington for the last six months. The consensus of opinion is that the wedding of Thursday evening was the crowning of a real, “old fashioned love affair.” According to general be- | lief the bride first met the bridegroom at the capitol on March 4, 1913, where they had all gathered to witness the newly elected president, Woodrow ‘Wilson, take the oath of office. Mrs. Wilson and her three daughters, | flanked by the large family connec- tion formed a company upon whose | members all eyes were centered. Seated near them was another little group to whom almost as much curi- ous attention was directed. These were the cabinet members and their wives. Practically every woman in the circle met the future chatelaine of the White House and her daughters for the first time, when after the cere- monies at the capitol they assembled on the reviewing stand in front of the White House to see the inaugural procession. Strangely enough the genial court- esy and good fellowship which so characterized President ~and Mrs. Taft was the meahs of bringing to- gether at their first informal feast, ! the new president and his family and | associates. 5 As she made the last tour of the ‘White House to see with her own eyes that every detail had been arranged | for the comfort of those who were : to succeed her and her family. Mrs. | Taft, herself, gave the final directions | i for serving the buffet luncheon for | the new president, his family and friends, Rather sombre figures in | their semi-mourning attire, the wid- ower secretary of the treasury, and; his young daughter, Miss Mona Mc- . Adbo, a debutante of the season be- fore, embraced their first opportunity | to meet and enjoy the company of Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the| voungest of the President and Mrs. ‘Wilson’s three daughters. Little was heard of the trend events took from this meeting until last November, when, in the midst of | the excitement of arriving guests { brought to Washington for the sec- ond time In a year for an epochal; event in the Wilson family-—the in-, auguration and the first weddfng in! the president's family took place in- | side of six months’ time—the enuse-‘ ment of the secretary of the treasury Attire Was Present. and Miss Wilson was whispered. The report received emphatic and un- equivocal denial from the White House. Her constant attendant on all occasions, a frequent guest at the White House, her partner in the tango, the hesitation and the Maxixe, of which dances they are expert ex- ponents, her companion on long | tramps through the picturesque en- virons of the city, her cavalier on many a gallop over the hills of Mary- land and Virginia, the secretary of the treasury and his bride-to-be found it increasingly difficult to disguise the real status of their feelings. In this’ effort, however, they had the inter- ested and enthusiastic support of Mr. McAdoo's colleagues in the cabinet and their wives. There was many a “little dinner” carried through in the interest of the White House ro- mance. Accustomed to the spectacle of growing romances among men and women whose names are known on two continents, Washington, though not taken into the confidence of those most nearly concerned, pre-empted the reports of the progress of the | courtship as tea table talk. The un- | disguised. interest in each other which | marked the last few weeks bhefore | the formal announcement of the en- gagement made further ‘denial quite impossible. The wedding preparation followed almost immediately upon the ac-! knowledgment of the engagement. Miss Wilson, quite the gayest member of the family, wanted a brilliant cere- | mony with the diplomatic corps, the official world and all her friends of girlhood days about her. The ecarly 1eports that the ceremony would take place in June were given credence by those in closest touch with the two families most concerned. A series of events, including the illness and delayed convalescence of | Mrs. Wilson, who early in the spring sustained injuries through a fall; the | Mexican imbroglio, the imminence of war and the turmoil of politics in general, made a change of arrange- ments advisable, and these conditions | conjoined with the president’s per-; sonal and frequently expressed dis- like for publicity in matters pertain- : ing to his family life, resulted in sweeping away all desire on the part of the bride for an elaborate cere- | mony. To avoid the complications which might result from a balancing between a ‘‘great occasion” and a simple service, the latter was decided upon, at the last moment. Then Sartoris gets out a warrant for the arrest of the jockey who is going to ride him. He serves it a moment. before the race is to begin, but the enthusias- |Hc crowd snatch the jockey from the hands of the sheriff and toss him on The Whip, who wins the race.. Ev- erything, of course, ends-happily. * The spectacular nature of the play leads to some of the most remark- able stage effects ever attempted suc- cessfully on the stage. These include a scene at the -Olympic horse show, an automobtle accident, the great IOWA WOMAN TELLS OTHERS How Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg- etable Compound Carried. Her Safely Through Change of Life.

SPRINGTIME KISSES BY AGNES CONRAD Under the auspices of the Wom- an's Relief Corps and through the courtesy of the National Society for Broader Education, there will be giv- en a song recital, typical of “The Apple Orchard,” by Agnes Conrad which will take place at Booth's hall, on Monday and Tuesday, May 11 and 12. Mille. Conrad has reached the top- most line of success both in concert and opera work. She has a sympa- thetic voice of high range and flute- like quality, which she controls to best advantage in obtaining the finest |'effects in tonal painting and artistic finish. The plan of these concerts is unique in that all the music hoth by tone and thought, serves to portray the ideas contained in the titles: “Kisses of the Springtime” and “Fruitage.” To hear Mlle. Conrad sing of the joy. hopes and ambitions born Wwith the light of day, or the enjoyment in communion, with the birds and flowers of the garden, or of the dreams of love and home that come | when the day is done and shadows creep, is a treat never to be forgot- ten.

They first looked like little white lumps and then they began to fester and came to a head. The burning and itching were so intense that I scratched till I made bilceding sores and they pained me very much. It seemed when my clothing touched me that I would scream. T could not sleep at night; I would turn and toss all night. I suffered torture. 1t seemed ac though I should go frantic: 1 did not seem to care what happened; ) did not care whether I lived or not. “*I ried 3 and various other soaps and ointments with no help. 1 did not know what to do until a friend told mo to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

A mistress who had the least real aection for her cat, if it were not possible for her to take it with her or find it a home, would buy a little chloreform and put the cat gently and painlessly to sleep. Many people board their cats while they are away, in cat homes.
