Oy Iyt Page of News for Theater Goers and Women Readers Reviews of Week’s Bills at Theaters “Over Night” Amuses Lyceum Audience On Opening Evening l It would be difficult to determine | what kind of a play patrons of the Lyceum like best, but it is a certainty that they are being given a large va- riety and that judging from the ap- plause the efforts of the company are being thoroughly appreciated. The play this week, which opened last farcical comedy brimful of amusing situations and it was presented with all the scenic effects necessary. There was the deck of the Hendrik Hudson, on which the honeymooners had taken passage up the Hudson river, and the Rip Van Winkle Inn with its rural furnishings, where one bride- groom with the wrong bride trying to conceal his identity pulled some rice out of his pocket to the great amuse- ‘| ment of the clerk who became wise in a minute. The story is simple. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kettle and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Darling, all on a wed- ding trip, meet on the steamer * and while Mr. Darling went ashore to look after the baggage and Mrs. Kettle went to a telegraph office the boat started leaving them ' ashore and Mr. Kettle and Mrs, Darling on the steamer, The trip occupies an hour and a half and when they reach the first landing place the couple find that there is no train out of there until morning, are compelled to re- main at the inn over night and are found there by the other couple who arrived later. It can be easily seen that the foundation is laid for some amusing incidents which keep the au- dience convulsed with laughter, Mr. Birch and Grace Bartgn played Mr. and Mrs. Kettle, he a rather sim- ple sort of an individual and she a suffragette who made it evident dur- ing the few hours of their marriage that hers was the dominant mind in the family. Miss Barton was best in her scenes calling for indignation, particularly so-.in the office of the inn. Mr. Birch’s work was full of well done. Ralph Locke and Miss Skirvin were Mr. and Mrs. Darling, he as usual active, business-like and with a commendable strain of humor and she with a changeable mind, sometimes weeping over -her predicament and the next minute demanding her dinner. The characters were not overdrawn and the lines were recited with clear- ness and distinction. Mr. Cross was the hotel clerk and he presented that individual as one who thoroughly understood his business and with a catchy humor that was appreciated. | The other parts were of a minor | character but were well taken by Mr. Sage, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Mullin, Miss DeVoe. Miss Saville and Mrs. Hib- bard, the latter insisting upon call- ing Mrs. Kettle Mrs. Fish because of the real name being suggestive of the old saying ‘‘a kettle of fish.” TANGO EXPERTS AT Daily Fashion Talks |[A Meoutor BY MAY,MANTON & 8249 Child’s Rompers, 2 to 6 years.

New Britain is to have a dansant of its own Friday night at Keeney's and local amateurs who have become victims of the latest ball room whirls and glides will be permitted to parti- cipate. The affair is to be given in connection with the act of Mr. and Mrs. Daly, the famous tango experts, who are giving an exhibition at the \heater this week. This couple has been furnishing the dancing feature at Shanley’s New York' restaurant for nearly a vear and by special arrange- ment the management of Keeney’'s. se- | cured them for a week’s engagement | in this city. They give a most pleas- | ing exhibition, featuring a novelty waltz, trot, whirlwind and Mr. Daly's own interpretations of the maxixe. At the performances yesterday Mr. Daly announced that local dancers will be permitted to compete for prizes Fri- day night and he invited all desirous of entering the contest to leave their names at the box office. Dancing makes up a major part of this week’s program and every num- ber in which the light fantastic figures was well' recetved by the “first nighters.” Besides the Dalys, there is the act of the Three English Madcaps, a trio of singers and dancers, said to be England’s best. The girls give a num- ber of fancy danceg, exhibiting unusu- al grace. There is plenty of life in their turn and they keep things mov- ing during the entire time allotted to them. An attractive Teature of the pro- gram and one that is exceedingly pop- ular, is the singjng specialty of Alton and Arliss. This pair possesses | exceptional ability as = entertainers and every number they intro- duced last night met with the ap- proval of the audience. The singing of Miss Arliss is particularly fine. She has a sweet und clear soprano voice which is heard to advantage in every number. Her rendition of “My Hero" is the big hit of her act. Miss Arliss played the leading feminine role, with the original company in *“The Choco-, late Soldier” and it is generally con- ceded that her singing of the show’s biggest hits excels that of any of the several other prima donnas who have played the role. ‘Dan O’Mafley and his six girls give Freeport, L. I, May 12.—Samuel Shannon, who sold his farm near here for a fortune to a real estate company and advertised for a wife, has selected an Ohio widow from among the several hundred appli- cants, and he has sent a rallroad tick- et to her. Quit Meat if Your Kidneys Act Badly. Take tablespoonful of Salts if Bacx hurts or Biladder Bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is tilled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the en- ; tire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have sting- ing pains in the back’or the urine s cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad: der is irritable, obliging you to seex relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid sto- mach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water befora breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- | late clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; mak; a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking a lit- tle occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active Shannon, who is seventy-eight years old and a widower, and who carried a bullet from Chancellors- ville’ in his leg, has struggled for many years on his farm until wealth suddenly came to him a few months ago. He parted with his farm, which s to be cut up into building lots, and purchased a cottage at Malvern, Then he started to look for a wife. His first wife had dled four or five years ago and as his children had married and gone away he had done his own housework. But, with the fortune from the old farm, he could get some one else to do that, He had heard that his first sweet- heart was a widow and he went to Philadelphia to see her. She was six- teen years old when he last saw her, sixty years ago, but she had changed so much in the last sixty years that he decided, when he did see her, that she would not do for a housekeeper or a wife. Returning home he advertised in a ¥Freeport newspaper for a housekeep- er, the appearance of his first sweet- heart having jolted any idea of ro- mance he might have had. But, there was only one answer to that adver- tisement and the applicant wanted $40 a month, a steam heated room with connecting bath and not less than half a dozen servants to manage. Then Shannon advertised for A housekeeper or a wife,” and his quest received publicity in many newspapers. From the hundreds of applications from women under | eighty years of age, Shannon has se- lected as first choice Mrs. Hattie Miller, living on her own farm seven miles west of Findley, Ohio. ,“1 am sixty-four years old and own my own farm,” Mrs. Miller wrote, i am net good looking but respectable. 1 have pad a hard row to hoe all my fife and, like you, | desire compan- ionship. “I have been keeping house all my life and my neighbors say 1 “know how. If you have found no one else to suit you perhaps 1 will do. If youn have found a wife, be good to her.” Then Shannon sent for her, al- though she had written that she had no photograph z Tomorrow | Breakfast.

Use one cupful of milk; one tablespoonful butter, one-half tea- spoonful salt, one tablespoonful sugar, half the grated rind of a lemon, one- third of a yeast cake and sufficient flour to make a very thick batter. When light beat hard, turn into a shallow well-greased. pan, let rise again., Cover the top with one-half of a cupful of sugar rubbed together with two tablespoonfuls of soft but- ter, one tablespoonful of powdered cinnamon and two tablespoonfuls of flour and bake in a quick oven.

GOOD PICTURES | ON FOX'S PROGRAM Fox’s ‘program for today is: “The Mystery of the White Car.” Special feature in two parts. “The Acid Test.” (Added feature in two parts). “The Unsuitable Suitor.” “Willie and the Muse.” “The Wall Flower." “The Story of Venus.” That sums up about one of the strongest picture play entertainments that was ever given in New Britain. The people are daily commencing to realize that to see the best there is in motion pictures and good solid en- tertainment in this city is to be found at the Fox theater. The man- agement announces “Fighting Death’ will positively be shown all day Wed- nesday at this theafer. This pie- ture has been announced three or four times, and was shown here, two Sundays ago, but so many people have requested that the picture be brought back, that Mr. Fox has instructed that it be shown here for the benefit of those who did not see it. In addition to this picture there has been a dandy program of sensational and comedy pictures arranged, which will make ou: ‘Wednesday program one that will not be forgotten for some time.

Now there are two ways of making the discrepancy betw: what we have and what we want, less. One is to obtain some the things we want. This is the mostcommon way; the only way that oc curs to the average person, The other way is to stop wanting of the things we lack. A great many people live lifetime ever trying this method. A Zulu prince who is studying to be a missionary told an interviewer the other day that it would have been far better for Zululand if the w nnvv had stayed at home. *“My people were once de mw happiest people inf dis worl'.” he sald, “and now dey are de mos’ miserablest. IFifty yeahs ago, before de white folks came, dey had everyt'ing dey wanted. Dey wo' no cloes an’ wanted none. De air was warm an' de sun shone. Dey had lan’, an’ didn’t hab to wo'k, fo' t'ings grew ob demselves. Den de w'ite folks came an’ took de lan’, an’ put my people to wo'k, an' made dem want t'ings dey didn't know was in de worl’ befor'.” Now analyze that. The Zulus have no less than they ever had, but they want more. Therefore they have changed from “de mos' happlest people in dis worl’ to de mos' miserable.” Of course we must not forget the other side of the case, There : some things that it is right to want. To a certain extent a nation's prog ress is measured by the standards of living which the people hold. For instance, it is well that our people today want better sanitation in their homes than they used to have. It would be unfortunate if they stopped wanting that. But there are countless other unnecessary things which we have come to feel that we cunnot live without. And so we toll and moil all the days of our life to possess them, and find at last in possession little of happiness but much of care and worry and work. You all know how Thoreau, the Concord philosopher, became weary of the cares and demands of even the simple soclety of his day, and went out Into the woods and lived in a hut to show that men could still be happy and civilized without the trappings of civilization. Of his experi- ment he wrote: “For more than five years 1 maintained myself thus solely labor of my hands and 1 found, that by working about six weeks in & vear, 1 could .meet all the expenses of my living. The whole of my winters as well as most of my summers I had free and clear for study.” Now wasn't that a worth while life? No, I don't suppose we all could go out into the Thoreau. 1 must sadly admit that it isn't “practical. word which so often bursts the idealist's fair bubbles. I But cven if we couldn't follow Thoreau's example we could at least try to get a little of his spirit. g “My greatest skill,” he once said, “has been to want but little.” 1 can think of no skill we men and women of today more need to ac- quire than that. 1 | kerchief llncn’ will be combined with a pretty wash net. comes from wanting thi some a without by thee voods and live like that pin-prick of a gk rEz;;nd ) h' Asnions i !
