Page of News for Theater Goers and [Press Agents Tell of lheatrical Bills “SHORE ACRES” IS NOW BEING REHEARSED There are some excellent opportun- ities for beautiful scenic and stage effects in the production "of ‘“‘Shore Acres,” which Manager Birch offers to the theater-goers at the Lyceum during the coming week. There are three settings, the home of ‘“Na- thaniel Berry” and. the lighthouse near Bar Harbor, Mé. TRe famous coast lighthouse, which is most prom- inent in marine history of the down east country, is a most picturesque spot. There is only a small area of land around this historic beacon, but it has been the scene of many inci- dents that have stirred the interest of humanity. The scenic artist and car- penters will develop the two light- house features to a most particular degree. In the casting of the characters it has been decided that Mr. oss shall assume the role, of ‘“Nathaniel Berry’—the_kind, lovable old gentle- man which Mr. Herne, the author, so cleverly conceived and portrayed. “Over Night” is having a popular reception this week. There were many at the Tuesday evening performance who had been present at the matinee in the aftérnoon, so well pleased were they with its delightful comedy. ENGLISH MADCAPS DANCE AT KEENEY’S Among the dancing novelties which make up a major portion of the show at Keeney’s this week, the act of the Three English Madcaps, stands out conspicuously. It is a European im- portation and differs greatly from the majority of dancing acts. The three young ladies are recognized as among the best dancers England ever pro- | duced. They are now on a. tour of ! this country and are being received ! with ‘marked fayor in every city where | they appear. . Their dances are novel ' and are gkillfully and gracefully exe- cuted. The audience is liberal in applauding their dancing every night | and the recognition given them in- | the present friends are. INTS DN My letter box this week contains many inquiries, which shows how popular is the department established by the management of the Lyceum through the courtesy 6f the Herald. Many of these letters will be answered next week. For the present I must content myself with answering a few personal inguiries which have been made to me. “N. B.,” for instance, wants - to know where T was born. My nativity is that of the baby of the Union— Oklahoma. My home is in Oklahoma City, provided an actress can claim any home except the city where she is playing, and where her host of If “home.is where the heart is,” then:my present home is in New Britain. Another correspondent wants to know if I appeared in “What Ails You?' which Henry W. Savage pro- duced and Rupert Hughés wrote, and which was produced at the Criterion theater in New York last season. I am the same Marguerite Skirvin. 1 had previously played with Mr. Sav- age's company in ‘‘Excuse Me,” and when that season was concluded Mr. Savage gave me an interesting part in his pew play. . : “Which do you prefer?” inquires a friend, ‘‘a stock company or one of the plays that runs all the season?” Did you ever hear of the wager that was made between two men? One wagered the other that he could not eat two boiled eggs every morn- ing for one year, The wager was accepted, but it was not won. The man who accepted it found it impos- sible to eat the same thing day in and day out. So it is with an actress. Tq play a role every day without in- terruption is injurious to the profes- sional career of any ambitious ac- tress. She can play the role for a dicates that they are the most pop- ular performers on the bill received, bittdn ot the. lates: several original numbers. test on the stage in connection with | this act and ‘all local amateurs will be given an opportunity to compete for prizes. Cadreaux, the high wire expert, gives a thrilling exhibition. This dar- ing Frenchman does a number of re- markable feats on the wire and goes through his act without introducing any time-killing “comedy.” Moore and Jenkins, a pair of clever colored entertalners, offer a song and comedy number that is winning the approval of the patrons. Arlton and Arliss offer a refined singing specialty. They are both good singers and present their pro- gram in a pleasing manner. Miss Ar- liss sings “My Hero” for a feature number and for a finale the team uses a medléy of popular song hits. LIST OF PATENTS. List of patents {ssued from tI . S.

E}irls Would fiather Go Into Factories Than Do Housework Director of Domestic Arts of New York Attributes it to Lack of Brains—That Is Why So Many Colored Women Are Employed in Homes. ‘“Most girls haven't brains to do housework; they would rather go into factories and do the same things over and over,” Miss Anna C. Hedges, for- merly director of domestic arts, has told the Vocational Guidance associa- tion at the Washington Irving High school, New York city. Housework is unsocial, and girls are gregarious. The real reason why housework is left to colored girls who can't get into any ¢ther work is that girls prefer work where the bundle that they have to firish is handed out to them and no initiative is required.” “I don’t agree at all,” said Mrs. Alice Barrows Fernandez director of the Vocational Survey. ‘I have never found that the girls liked monotonous work, and as educators we cannot ccnsent that they should like it.” “Then we must leave the next gen- eration to develop workers who will demand * varied work,” replied Miss Hedges. “But these girls can't live in $7.50 a week, the average factory wage. { They must be paid a living wage, not j one arbitrarily fixed by the manufac- | turer,” objected Mrs. Fernandez. “‘But most of them live at home.” “You mean they are parasites?' ot at all. 1 mean that it costs less to live in a family than alone. And the girls do not have to keep on doing the same thing in the factory. They can work up, as some of them have done.” “Yes, they do have to keep on doing the same thing,” broke in Mrs. O'Con- nell of the Alliance Employment Bureau. “Let’s not talk about whether the girls prefer monotonous work,” added another member. ‘“There is such an immense field for bettering conditions in the factories. 1 have found that the girls complained not of the work but of the administration. And in housework they complain that the Imlstresseu do not know how to direct and they are never sure of their even- !ings.” “FADS.

TO SAVE EYES Is the Object of This Free lfrmrlp- tion.—Try It If Your Eyes Give You Trouble. Thousands of people suffer from eye troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou- bles. They neglect their eyes because the trouble is not sufficient to drive them to an eve specialist, who would anyway, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten cent store, and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being used two or three months, do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use: 5 grains Optona (1 tablet.) 2 ounces water. Use three or four times a day bathe the eyes. This and the simple Optona system keeps the eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, over- worked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefitted and oftentimes cured by its use. Many reports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few wecks’ use. It is good for the eyes and contains no ingredient which would injure the most sensitive eyes of an infant or the aged. Any drug- gist can fill this prescription prompt.- ly.

Every class takes u E words and phrases from time to time and uses them in season out of season, appropriately and inappropriately, in short merc| ly overworks them until they finally dia of exhaustion. . The slang of the less educated class has always been anathema, is it really any more to be condemned than the slang of the class ought to know enough to avoid overtaxing unoffending words? 1 know a woman of considerable culture, so-called, or perhaps T ¢ say gelf-called. She can talk vaguely but gracefully about the philoso of Bergeson; she loves to juggle with such names as Nietsche, Tol etc.; she belongs to several fashionable women's clubs; she keeps library table littered with expensive magazines and leather bound copi Ibsen and Browning. Now I ‘happened to be with her the other when a jolly little clerk in a shop said “I should worry.” My comp turned up her aristocratic nose at the sound of this vulgar and worn phrase. A more pained and disgusted expression I have seldom seen. yet, would you believe it, I never knew anyone who would overwork and garize an expression as thoroughly as she does. And the mere fact that original expression is different does not make her any less culpasble t the shop girl. Last summer this woman picked up the phrase “I love and she has used it ever since appropriately and inappropriately nauseating persisteney. On the lips of this woman and several more of her cult, “I love" grown just as tiresome and vulgar to me as “I should worry,” and if happen to know any woman of this particular type you have probably b bored in the same way. “Attractive” is another word which this class converted into slang their abuse of it. A year or two ago everything they saw, did, ate, h liked, laughed at, or in any way approved was “attractive.” The word squeezed as dry of individual meaning as a lemon that has been used boarding house lemonade. Slang is often powerful and expressive, or amusing and whimsical, prescription | itself it is not necessarily objectionable. is-that it is taken up by people who do not think, and used as a for their unintelligence. Its offense against the langus cru Instead of expressing their thoughts with words they themselves ha' chosen, and which therefore have the virtue of individuality, they fall upon these ready-made expressions, Slang has the same effect upon ti vocabulary as predigested foods have upon the digestion. And this is just as true of the slang of the educated classes as of ti of the uneducated. Anyone who takes refuge from the effort of overworked word or formula, however respectable, is just as perpetrators of “I should worry.” sion in self-expr n angy as tl IC="4 Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY,;MANTON 7495 Girl's Box Plaited Dress, 6 to 12 yhars.
