Press Agents Tell of Theatrical Bills “OVER NIGHT,” LYCEUM PLAY THIS EVENING The Lyceum Players will open for in “Over Night,” a farcical comedy by Philip H. Bartholomae. The usual matinees will be presented Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. “Over Night” is unquestionably the greatest laugh-provoker offered by the players under the direction of Man- ager. Wyrley Birch, Scream after scream of laughter is provoked by the keen witticisms cleverly written in by the author. The story is interesting. It brings out the complications in which two oddly suited couples find themselves after marriage. ‘“‘Mr. and Mrs. Kettle” and “Mr. and Mrs, Darl- ing” meet quite by accident on the Hudson river day boat. They dis- cover the difference in their temper- ts. “Mr. Kettle” and ““Mrs, Darl- are most congenial in their tastes and temper. So it is with “Mr. Darling” and “Mrs, Kettle,”” who were seem- ingly “made for each other.” Through an author’s circumstance “Mrs. Ket- tle” and “Mr. Darling” miss the boat at one of the landings and the sec- ond act finds “Mr. Kettle” and *‘Mrs. Darling”” arriving at a hotel. As they are-waiting in the lobby of the hotel a shower of rice falls from his cloth- ing and as they are taken for some newlyweds they are subjected to a lot of live bantering by the people, “Mrs. Patchen” and “Mrs, Cleveland,” who observed them on the boat, appear at the hotel and then the complications pile up quickly. The tangled affairs are finally stralghtened out quite happily. Mr. Birch and Miss Barton as “Mr. and Mrs. Kettle” and Mr. Locke and Miss Skirvin as “Mr. and Mrs. Darl ing” are very congenially cast. M Hibbard will assume the role of “Mrs, Patchen.” Mr. Cross will present the character of the hotel clerk. There are some pretty settings and costumes in this play. EUROPEAN NOVELTY KEENEY SPECIALTY A European novelty that has caused a near-sensation since its importation is the specialty of the Three English Keeney's this week. London placed its stamp of approval on the act last season and the concert halls in other places on the continent also gave it recoegnition. Since its premier on the American stage the act has been mak- ing regular hits and the expectations are that it will be a winner in New Eritain. The Mmanagement is paying a substantial amount for the act and ex- pects it will draw heavily every day. Dan O'Malley and his six dancing girls will probably be another big at- traction. Dan is known from coast to coast for his original comedy and ec- centric dancing. This year he has surrounded himself with a bevy of rretty little girls, all possessing sing- ing and dancing ability. He offers a musical comedy in miniature and if the reception given him elsewhere may be taken as a criterion, he may be sure of a warm welcome from New Britain theatergoers. With other cities, New Britain is in the grasp of the tango craze and to sutisfy lovers of the latest terpsichor- eun manoeuvers, the management has billed Mr. and Mrs. Daly, expert tango dancers, for this week. The ccuple will inrtoduce the new dances oi{ the ball room- besides some new steps of which they are the origina- ters.

It is sald to be even superior to the Pathe Weekly, which in future will be released on ‘Wednesday nights. |LITTLE SEMBRICH , SINGS TONIGHT Miss Agnes Conrad, whom the Na- tional Society for Broader Education, i+ announcing- as one of its artist representatives, is to visit New Brit- | zin this evening. | She has been aptly called the “Little Sembrich of America,” possessing as she does a voice of limpid sweetness and exceptional technical attainments, which are said to rival those of the great Polish prima donna, She has personal beauty and grac of manner as well. ! It is difficult to describe the be- witching tones of this young singer that bubble forth in delicious trills and rushing cadences so liquid and | pure from her charming throat. Her voice has resonance and power ond according to critics of both CASTORIA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Europe and America she Is considered cne of the world's coloratura sopranos. Under the local auspices of the ‘Woman's Relief Corps Miss Conrad will give a series of song recitals per- ‘tnining to “The Apple Orchard” this evening and tomorrow evening, at Booth’s hall.

The model can be used, however, for any seasonable material, the crépe de chine that will be worn all summer quite as well as the cotton and linen ones. Cotton crépe makes up most attractively and is extremely smart and the voiles of the ' season are unusually attractive for there are a great many shown in embroidered figures as well as the plain material. The combination of the raglan sleeve at the front _and the kimono at the back is especially smart. This blouse is all white but touches of color are fashionable and | white voile or cotton crtse for the blouse i with the collar and cuffs of yellow or cerise would be charming or the blouse ' cculd be made of color with trimming of . white. !

WITH YOKE AND SINGLE OR DQUBLE PUFFED TUN.C, WITH HI JRAL WALLE LINE.‘ IGH OR NATU Here is a skirt that gives all the newest features. It is broad at the hips and sug- gests the bustle at the back; it is narrow at the feet yet the fullness above allows freedom for walking. It can be made with high or natural waist line and the girdle can be left rlain or finished with an up- standing frill. The combination of flow- ered foulard with plain taffeta shown in one view is an exceedingly smart one but one could make this skirt from any fash ionable material. It would be very charming made of plain and flowered cotton crége or it could be made of one material throughout or of any combina- tion that might suit the special costume of special need. If the double tunic proves too full for the figure, the lower one can be omitted. Whichever of the many possibilities is decided upon, the skirt is certain to be smart and sati factory and the lines are the newest and best.

Students at Goucher and Johns Hopkins Ahe Being Ex- perimented Upon—Examinations Purely Voluntary and Promises to Be Interesting. Who have the better quality brains—the girls of Goucher college or the young men of Johns Hopkins university ? Science is preparing to determine the question within the next few weeks and in the meantime the young women of Goucher are staking their claims for victory on a chosen half dozen or more of the senior class. Time was when woman never thought to challenge the claim that i man possessed superiority of intel- lect, but with the progress of the world, the advancement of science and the latter-day movement for woman suffrage matters took on a dif- ferent color, until today the fair sex has almost as many, if not as many, champions as its brothers and cou- sins! The tests are being made under the direction of Prof. Knight Dun- lap of Johns Hopkins university, in the psychological laboratories of that institution. They are entirely vol- untary. Similar tests, it is said, have “been made in other cities, although their results have not become gen- erally known, and it was to get a de- finite solution of the problem that Professor Dunlap suggested to Pres- ident William W. Guth, of Goucher, that some of the students submit to examination. Thus far Misses Madge Elizabeth Mason, Winifred Katherine Roblitz and Harriet Winn are some of the seniors who have been examined by Professor Dunlap. i Others have promised to undergo the same kind of examination. Complicated implements are being vsed in making the tests. One of these Is composed of two transmitters with a time noting attachment. Into one transmitter Professor Dunlap pronounces a noun, and the person tested must mention an adjective that might qualify it. This is to deter- mine the alertness of the person’s perception. There are many picture tests that go to determine the mental development of the student under ex- amination. Whether he expected the young women of Goucher to display a high er class of mentality than the young men of Johns Hopkins, Thurlow, Brown, of | Guth, of Goucher, declined to say last night. “Of course the test will not deter- mine whether women generally are superior to men in mentality,” said President Guth. ‘The examinations are being made of a few volunteers to determine their accuracy and alert- ness of mental impulse. One can readily understand that the person conducting the test might examine a group of quick-witted women and slow-thinking men during the same period. This would not determine the question to the satisfaction of the world. Anyhow, it will be interesting to know what will be the result of Professor Dunlap’s investigations.” MAY DEMAND INCREASE.

The program was in two parts, the first introducing a chorus of seventy- five under the direction of Professor ¥. F. Harmon, arranged in tlers on the stage, and with individual selec- ticns by Miss Marie Stoddart, soprano, of New York, Miss Jane Clark, con- tralto, of Hartford, William J. Carroll, tenor of Hartford, and Thomas K. Clifford of Boston, baritone. The chorus was very responsive to the baton of Professor Harmon, the voices rising and falling in perfect unison. Its best number in the opening was that of “Loch Lomond,” which was sung with marked enthusiasm, and the audience was so appreciative that one verse was repeated with fine spirit, Mr. Carroll was the first of the “Thora,” a sweet song, which he im- | mediately followed with “Telling Her,” | calling for a higher range, a task | which he accomplished with ease, his fine voice being clear and pure. Miss Clark sang “An Autumn Gale” with pleasing effect but it was in “Laddie” that she showed her wonderful con- trol. The words carried tenderness with them and her voice was in such perfect harmony with the sentiment | of the song that it made a beautiful number. Mr. Clifford, who also had | two numbers and who was enthusias- tically encored, responded most hap- pily with a sailor song from which the audience derived iits first spell of iluughler and it would have been | pleased to have heard him again. | This feeling of appreciation was still alive when Miss Stoddart appeared, the audience being so happy that she seemed to join in the jovial spirit. She bowed and smiled and sang so well that an encore was instantly de- manded. Her response was a love song with a bit of humor in it which the audience enjoyed immensely. E. F. Foley was the piano accompanist and the various numbers were carried through with promptness and splen- | did musical effect. | The second part of the program censisted of the rendition of *“Hay- den’s Second Mass in C,” The orches- tra had been transferred from the pit to the stage, the soloists occupied seats to the left in front of the chorus and from the time that Pro- fessor Harmon took his position in front the voices promptly responded to his every movement. The solos were splendidly rendered and the whole of the mass was sung with a fervor and expression which the au- dience was prompt to appreciate, The Union was made the recipient of much praise for its fine work and Professor Harmon for his skill in |bringing such a large chorus up to such a splendid state of perfection.

But they wouldn't be. “In this community,” writes a letter friend from a distant city, “about thirty. years ago a baby was left to the care of his older sister when his parents died. The sister sacrificed her whole life for him, giving him a good education, “He married ands his wife turned him completely against this sister. The girl he married was very poor, but now they have a summer home, a touring car, in short, every luxury that money can buy. While the sis- ter can be seen almost any day going back and forth to work when she is able, and often when she is not (her health is extremely poor), She is very proud and one of the most respectable and estimable women In this city. “Her brother, from one year's end to anoti:er does not give her a single penny, while his wife spends in one entertaining of her bridge club enough to make it unnecessary for the older woman to go out these ter- rible winter mornings at her time of life. “I call it a crying shame, Of course, it's right that her brother should give his wife and family all the necessities and all the luxuries he can afford, but he surely ought to be able to give his sister (his parent. mind you) enough so that she wouldn't have to work even when she is sick to keep from starving.” A story like that makes one's blood boil. It seems worse than the ordinary case because it was a sister in- stead of a parent. Parents in bringing children into the world incur the responsibility of rearing them. That is normal. But for a young woman to give up her life and probably her personal happiness and her opportun- ity for marriage and children of. her own, to rearing another woman's child, even her own brother, is a far greater sacrifice and deserves even greater reward, And the wife who turned her husband’s heart away from this more than parent is proportionately even more guilty than the wife who tries to turn her husband against his father and mother, Why will women do it any way? Why will women who otherwise seem gentle and tender hearted, @eliberately try to shut their husband's parents and family out of his life? There certainly cannot be an uglier jealousy than that which will make a wife unwilling to share her husband with the woman who bore him, Let her beware. Let her remember the warning of Cardinal New:® man: ‘‘Some women when they marry are not content to be sweetheart and wife, but must also take the place of mother and sisters, too, but let the woman who closes a man's heart against those of his own blodg remember that some day the one door she has left open is sure to slam in her own face.” IF YOU were to read a story in a magazine about a child whose parents 2o R e o S RENIER, PICKHARDT & DUNN 127 MAIN STREET.
