Press Agents Tell - of fheatrical Bills “SHORE ACRES” NEXT LYCEUM ATTRACTION “Over Night" is one of the greatest laugh producing comedies in which the Lyceum Players have favored the theater-goers of New Britain and vicinity. There's a laugh in almost every line, the characters are good and the settings are excellent. With an excellent vehicle to work on, a clever show has been made up. ““Over Night” will be presented this evening and there will be a matinee performance Thursday afternoon. The selection of *“Shore Acres” for the coming week has met popular ap- proval, which was naturally expected in view of the numerous requests for “Shore Acres” has a combination of rural and shore seét- tings for a background. The story is one which strongly appeals to"the human emotions. There is a réady response to the human element it bears and the comedy is of the clean, wholesome character which goes to make up the success of the plays of this type. The Lyceum . Players will, as in all productions, give par- ticular attention to the simplest de- tails, which all contribute towards the making of a most finished attrac- tion. The rehearsals have com- menced.

Perfect Woman Discovered; She Is Miss Ethel Hays, Aged 2 Every Line From the Graceful Wave of Her Hair to the Curve of Her Ankle Is Perfect, All Due to Out- door Exercise, Billings, Mont., May 13.—The per. fect woman, the American Venus, has been found. The discoverer is Ham- ilton Wolf, a New York artist and son of a New York artist, Henry Wolf. The American Venus is Miss Ethel Hays, the daughter of a Bill- ings banker, and only three years out of school. She also is an artist with dreams of a career. Her discoverer is putting her on canvas and the painting is to be éxhibited in the Paris salon if the genius of the en- thusiastic painter can win a place in the line. Hamilton Wolf is living in Los An- geles just now and here is his critical Judgment of the American Venus: “Every line, from the graceful wave of her hair to tne curve of her ankle, is perfect! The broad shoulder, the broad, undulating waist, the long lines of arm and leg, all mark her as the prototype of the woman who posed for the Venus de Milo.” Miss Hays was graduated from the Billings high school three years ago. She is now twenty-one yvears old, de- termined to make a name for herselfl. While in the school she was the main- stay of the school publication’s art department, and after graduating fol- lowed the advice of friends who saw possibilities in her work and decided on a career of art. As the scene of her work she selected Los Angeles. That is how she became acquainted with Hamilton Wolf, how she became his pupil, and later his model. Like other artists, Wolf long had cherished an ambition to find and paint the perfect woman. It was to be his masterplece. Where was she to be found? Then, one day, she came and work on “Woman" was begun. The artist settled down to a long grind, and In a few weeks or months, according to his temperament and physical power permit, “Woman” will be on her way to Paris. “1 hope to paint a picture. which, before it is sent to the salon, will make our naturally beauty loving people realize how far from the great ideals of the masters they e strayed,” says the sanguine artisi. “I have drawn Miss Hays from every angle in merciless black and white— and she stands the test.” But Miss Hays herself takes her beauty less seriously than Wolf, and seems to regard the fact that she 1s hailed as the one perfect woman of less consequence than her work and progress in her chosen field. “I feel art is the greatest of al things,” she wrote in a recent letter to a friend. “I believe an artist is at once the happiest and unhappiest person in the world. The happiness comes from the knowledge and indul- gence of a creative power, And the unhappiness from knowing that ab- solute perfection is never attained.” “Miss Havs might almost be called a genius,” declares Wolf. he has everything at her command—love of beauty, humor and the quality of tak- ing infinite pains, which Carlyle says is genius. She can sketch for hours in a dusty studio, depicting the streams and hills of nature's great outdoors she can trace with wonder- ful exactness the lines of the human body, and can turn frém that evolve a cartoon possessing an stantaneous appeal.” “Woman,” with which Wolf hep: | to capture Le Grand Prix at the salon, will represent the utmost in femininity, according to its ereéatér | Although idealistic in every line, will but portray the perfection Miss Hays. ! “Miss Hay¥' body is aimost incem | ceivably perfect in construetion,” Wolf. “It is just elght times 1t height of her head, her closely Al i delicately modeled ears are exdctl | even with the top and bgttom of | nose, her neck fis just the right | portion—every feature is in perfaé | harmony.
