Bertha Leigh Leonard Dr. George 'Page . Kenneth D. Harlan Louise a . Helen Manning | ces . John Mullen | Dr. Philip Latham Frank “’rlght‘; Mrs. Caroline Page { . Anne MacDonald ! E. M. Leonard . Fred Sutton «+.. L. J. Fuller Adelaide Hibbard Odette DeVere . . Lois Bolton Cassius . . Wyrley Birch | The piece is one of thuse farcical comedies written to please, to make reople laugh and this does all that the author ever expected from it. There is really no plot, one ludicrous situa- tion following another until the end, when all the tangles are straightened ut and happiness in the troubled ircles reigns again. Dr. Page, a specialist, sends his wife away and takes another patient and her mother to Saratoga so that the daughter may | be treated. The doctor, however, has | previously been offered a preparation, the use of which is regarded as a cure for nervousness and all its attendant ailments, but Dr. Page declines to accept it, but Dr, Latham, the inven- ter, drops one of the powders into a drink and the effect is wonderful, Dr. Page becoming the very personifica- tion of amiability, which also mani- fests itself in a desire to dance. All the, parties meet accidentally at Sara- tega, where it appears that there are two Mrs. Pages, the doctor having registered his young patient as his wife, and while there the woman who poses as her mother finds her husband from whom she separated some twenty cdd years before and as she had made him believe that she had a daughter he inquires for her and the young woman is obliged to impersonate her, which greatly adds to the humorous situations. Mr. Harlan presented Dr. Page as a fretful individual, with an excitable temperament and except when under the influence of the powder inclined to be morose, while Mr. Wright, who in- vented the drug, was just the opposite. Mrs. Hibbard added to the fun of the piece with her fine character work, and Miss Bolton was very good as her daughter. Mr. Fuller was at his best as the Frenchman, giving one of his best bits of work since coming to New Britain. Miss MacDonald, who played Mrs. Page, was a very dignified wife and extremely fond of her husband except when she had taken the pow- der, when she became very unruly. The remainder of the characters were satisfactorily filled. The audience liked the play and was frequently con- vulsed with laughter. The settings, as uvsual, were of the best. SOME GOOD ACTS ON KEENEY'S BILL James Jeftreys .. C'ol. Larivette Cora Bell Beginning with Flo Rolland, that dainty comedienne on rollers, and ending with Bobby Dohn, Ringling’s great circus attraction, Keeney’'s bill this week is diversified and exception- ally strong. The various acts are novel in character and there is some- thing distinctive about each of them. The “first nighters” seemed to be well pleased with each number and they were very liberal in applauding the efforts of the different perform- ers. Miss Rolland’s specialties is one of the neatest roller skating turns ever offered here. The young lady is a captivating performer and her work is very fascinating. She has a good singing voice and gives a roller skate dance as an accompaniment to each number. She wears some fetch- ing clothes that enhance her appear- ance, making her real chic and tidy. Her skating is also of a high order. One of the most pleasing numbers on the program is the concert given by the Buster Brown Boy. Scouts. Fifteen little fellows, each a capable musician, make up this band and their efforts to please met with en- couraging appreciation last night. They play a number of stirring | marches besides a medley of popular airs, finding great favor with the au- dience. | Bobby Dohn is. one of the few | “lone” acrobatic performers in vaude- | ville meeting with success. Bobby does some remarkable hand balanc- ing and also exhibits several wonder- ful feats of strength. He makes some astounding ‘‘pick-ups” with his teeth and during the week he plans to lift an automobile, using nothing but his molars for a grip. Western and Moore, Italian char- acter comedians, have a lively num- ber and the Howards give an enter- taining song and dance specialty. At every performance during the | week, matinces as well as the even- ! ing shows, the management has ar- ranged to give away a barrel of flour. Each patron will be given a ticket by the cashier, the holder of the lucky : coupon getting the prize. H For Thanksgiving week several cx- | pictures have | traordinary motion been secured.

American Child’s Universal Pallor They Are Robust and Full of Spirit, However, and Make Good Subjects Because 6f Their Freshness and Warmth of Beauty. Pale faces, wide-set brown eyes, sturdy bodies, an alert intelli- gence—these are the characteristics which distinguish American children from English in the eyes of Miss Elinor M. Barnard, the English paint- er of children of the aristocracy. She is now making portraits of wealthy New York children, and she finds their difference in type from the do- cile little apple-cheeked English child interesting. “I expected to find American chil- dren frightfully spoiled and rude, but among the fourteen children I have painted here only two were illbred. They appear much more intelligent than our English children. English Children Dull, “I don’t like to think American children really have better minds—it probably lies in the fact that they have more opportunity to develop them. English children are rather dull little things, what with their nurses and under-nurses and the rigid discipline of the nursery. That is their whole world—the nursery—and they know little of what lies outside its walls. ‘“English children are prettier than American children,” she continued, “Their coloring is beautiful and their features are more delicately cast, but they are not nearly so well set-up and strongly built as American chil- dren. Marvel at Americans’ Pallor. “Most children here appear so ro- bust and full of spirits. That is why I wonder at the lack of color in their faces. It seems a distinctly American characteristic, this universal pallor. I rather like it, myself, but it seems queer, when I walk along the street, to see many children' with colorless cheeks. You have such wonderful It is really unaccount- able.” Miss Barnard prefers to paint chil- dren because of the freshness and warmth of their beauty. “Water color is the ideal medium for child portraiture,” she declared. “That intangible, fresh-blown loveli- ness of childhood can be caught and held in this form of painting. There is such a wealth of delicate coloring in child features; that is why I prefer them to old faces. And I like also their natural, simple attitudes. Chil- dren never pose for me. I sit in an obscure corner of the nursery, quietly watching the child as he plays or is amused by the nurse, He regards me as a piece of furniture and becomes unconscious of my presence. Sudden- ly I catch him in some adorably characteristic attitude and sketch him ; so. When the picture is finished the mother will see her child just as he appears a dozen times a day.” Paints Princess Mary For Queen. Queen Mary has in her boudoir a water color portrait of the princess painted by Miss Barnard last spring. “I found Princess Mary a very sweet, simple girl,” said Miss Barnard. “She is very gracious and well mannered, but quite childish for her age. She is clever, of course, but only in a little- girl sort of way. Her French teacher was present while I painted her por- trait, and she recited her lesson just as any other schoolgirl would. “Princess Will Make a Good Wife— That's AIL” “‘Princess Mary is much taller and better built than the Phince of Wales, but she is not a pretty girl. She is simple and sweet, and will make some man a good wife—that’s all.” Among the aristocratic English chil- dren painted by Miss Barnard were the three children of the Earl of Lan- caster, whose wife was formerly a New York girl, and David Astor, son of Mrs. Waldorf Astor. One of her most successful portraits is that of Miss Ends Dry, Hoarse or Painful Coughs Quickly A Simple, Home-Made Remedy, Inexpensive but Unequaled | | fedesdedeodedoofedroderudeudeedesedeafogedged | The prompt and positive results given by this pfimsanc tasting, home-made cough syrup has caused it to be used in more homes than any other remedy.

Because of her un- derstanding of children and her hap- py posing of them Miss Barnard's work is greatly sought after. Farents Do Not Like Idealized Por- traits. “l1 dont try to flatter the parents by making the child prettier in his por- trait than he is by nature. I paint him just as he is in his most every-day manner. and I find that most parents rrefer that sort of portrait. After all, they love the child just as he is, and not as I or some other artist might idealized him.” Miss Barnard has travelled over Eu- rope in her search for interesting child faces. She returned recently from Holland, where she had painted little Dutch aristocrats and children of rich liurghers. . Dutch Children Interesting. “Dutch children make interesting studies because of their vivid color- ing,” she said. “I dont think the flaming red cheeks are pretty, how- ever, In fact, I prefer the pallor of American children.” When she has finished her protraits of New York children Miss Barnard expects to go West. “I am interested in the American type of child, and I'm wondering if Chicago and San Francisco, for exam- ple, will produce the same general type New York has. “It is queer how little difference the nationality of the child’'s forebears makes, All the children I have painted here are distinctly American, and one would know them as such anywhere else in the world. “In Emgland we criticise the way you rear children here, but it seems to me our children need some of the same sort of upbringing. The ideal educa- tion would be a mixture of your ways | and ours. English Children Better Mannered. “There is no denying that English children are better mannered, but chil- | éren here are so much brighter. Iam speaking of the average child, of' course. After all, children of the very rich are much alike the world over.” A New York child whom Miss Bar- nard has chosen as a good- example of the American type is Roger Kahn, son of Otto Kahn. This boy has the distinctive alert appearance and the wideset eves that Miss Barnard says are characteristic of American child- | ren. In contrast to this boy, she points to the picture of Katherine Buchanan, a little English girl, with timid eyes and an appealing mouth. Some of Miss Barnard’s best work is now on exhibition at the Knoedler | galleries. She has not conflned her portraiture to the little children of the rich, however, and side by side with the scions of proud English fami- lies are portraits of little Belgian outcasts. The Belgian studies are for sale, the proceeds to go to the Belgian Relief Fund. NEW LEADING LADY JOINS LYCEUM CO. Miss Emily H. Calloway has been secured by Manager Birch to assume the leading roles with the Lyceum players and in her a very talented young woman has been engaged. Miss Calloway is a college girl who has made good in the theatrical pro- fession. She is a graduate of Welles- ley college and will probably be re- called by local graduates of the col- lege. She will open her engagement here in “The Price,” which will be presented during the coming week. Theatergoers who saw the Brady success, “The Things That Count,” will recall her presentation in the leading role. She was in Hartford recently and also played Miss Alice Brady's part during the New York engage- ment. In “Over Night” she present- ed the character of “Caroline,” and in “Linen Days” she had the part of “Kit.” Miss Calloway was with John Mason in ‘“None So Blind,” and alter- nated with Thais Magrane in the title role of “Everywoman.” Miss Calloway was one of the pop- ular members of her class as Welles- ley. Her’s was one of the names most frequently uttered at the college. She led in studies, athletics and dramatics. Miss Calloway was one of the leaders in the English department under the direction of Sophie Hart. At short story, novel and play writing she was eminently successful. She wrote the last senior Barnswallows, presenting the play “Prince Charlie.” The Barn- swallows numbered among its mem- bers Helen Hale, wife of Willlam Hodge; Helen Daniels, who associat- ed with Bertha Kalish, and others. | mer four years at Wellesley. A critic writing of her said: ‘‘Miss Calloway is not only pleasing to look upon, but she has talent. When she smiled—and to use the slang expres- sion—‘it was some smile.” Her audi- ence smiled back in return.” Another wrote: “Emily Calloway, in the part of the pretended wife, was pretty and demure, and filled her part with a grace and naturalness which made the play grow in interest.” | A cup, of hot water with a tea- spoon off salt. taken regularly before breakfadt, relieves indigestion. i excellent staging.

AUDIENCES LIKE ORGAN AT FOX'S Capacity audiences greeted the inauguration of the mammoth $10,- 000 Moeller orchestral organ at Fox's yesterday, and all that has been said pertaining to its wonderful sym- pathetic tone and massiveness was proven by the skiliful handling of Professor Bock of New York who ren- dered the incidental music as well as the two recitals, one in the afternoon and one at the evening performance. It is the intention of the management to devote from fifteen to thirty min- utes every day both afternoon and evening to the rendition of the clas- sics, and patrons who desire to have the organist play their favorite ue- sieve, return to the | beaten | wita | Mix Wwith three parts salad | ; lection will kindly send their request | to the boxoffice, whch will immediate attention. In the very near future in fact arrangements are now being made with the many church organists in this city to give recitals during the afternoon and evening receive | performances and the lovers of high | class music will find Fox's the ideal theater. Mr. Bock will play the ac- companiment to the photo-plays as well as give a recital today also. The photo-play portion of the pro- gram is remarkable both for its won- derful story, most capable acting and “The Walls of Jerricho,” picturized from the James K. Hackett success produced at the Hackett theater, New York, is from the pen of Alfred Sutro. The story is a modernization and a practical ap- | plication of the biblical story, “When ! the Priests Blew Their Trumpets, the | Wall of Jerricho Fell Down This masterpiece of dramatic litera- ture is a powerful screen vehicle for Flat.” | Edmund Breese, lately starred in the | “Master Mind,” and remembered as the original John Ryder in “The Lion and the Mouse.” “The Walls of Jer- richo,” with Mr. Breese playing the stellar role, with Claire Whitney and Stuart Holmes in be shown today. For tomorrow and Thursday the Shuberts present Clara Kimball Young and an all star cast in “Lola.” a five part photo-dramatization by Owen Davis There seems to be a real craze for black and dark waists this season, and Miss Ryan has a big assortment | of the black ones at her shop, 79 Pratt street, Hartford. By black is not meant mourning, although she has these, too, but she has the pretty chif- fons, crepe de chine, lace, satin, silk, etc., some high and some low neck, in | styles that are so smart for wear with street suits and under motor coats. The satins and silks are especially neat and trim for business wear. advt.
