TWO GOOD PLAYS AT ! PARSONS’ THEATER “Within the Law,” a melodrama of modern life written by Bayard Veiller and produced by Selwyn & Co., comes to Parsons’ theater, Hartford today for the third time, with that sterling actress Catherine Tower, in the lead- ing role. The supporting company in- cludes Tom J. Evens, Harrison J. Ter- ry, Bernard Craney, Willlam Lam- bert, Lucien lLaine, James Heenan, Katherine Daly, Grace Spaeth and others. There will be a bargain matinee and an evening performance. The story of “Within the Law"” con- erns the life of Mary Turner, a shop girl,. convicted. /and sentenged to pris- on for three years for theft she did not commit. She serves her time in spite of her plea of innocence. Ed- ward Gilder, owner of the store, is determined to make an example of someone, as a warning to the other| employees. Upon her release Mary tries to obtain honest employment, but is hounded from one place t0 another by the police, because she is an ex-convict. Finally, in despero- tion, she tries to commit suicide by drowning herself. Her life is saved by Joe Carson, a crook, who takes her home. She becomes the leader of the band of which Joe Carson is a member. She has brains enough to know; that large swindling deals mav be negotiated sucecessfully with the aid of competent lawyers. She hires lawyers and grows rich. The Parsons’ theater will present “Today,” the George Broadhurst and Abraham Schomer vivid drama of New York life for three days be- ginning tomorrow (Thanksgiving). Taking for their theme woman's present day desire for clothes, and her mania for keeping up with the social procession, no matter the cost, the authors have built a four-act drama of intense cumulative interest and startling climaxes. “Today” is primarily an exposition of a certain phase of New York life, the existence of which has never been denied, and, in addition, offers a convincing cher- acter study of a vain, shallow, sel- fish wife that has no counterpart on the stage. “Today” comes here after enjoying the enviable distinction of for Theatre Goers and Women Readers MISS CADLOWAY. (With Lyceum Players.) Rose and Silver Combination, Season’s They Make Enchanting Frocks for Present Day Fairies— | Shades, Date From Cinderella’s Slipper Rhinestones Outline the Semi-Tunics Peculiar Shape Little girls used.to say that ome of the gowns which the young prince gave Cinderella after he had fitted the crys- tal slipper to her foot was of rose and silver materials. Outside of fairy- tale-land it is not comme il faut for princes to give party frocks to voung ladies. Neverthless, many girls have such frocks this autumn. Their fath- cre give them the lovely pink and sil- | ver creations; although these mer- chant princes know little more about the gowns than what the price on the hill tells.them. Sométimes that price makes them groan, for brocades never Lave been cheap and some of the most appealing models are ,in that material. One ball frock of silver rase satin has a round cut skirt which must be a delight to wear while danc- ing, because, while barely escaping the brocaded | Above the Girdle. carpet, it is quite full and its left side edge is a trifle caught up under a large ornament of thinestones. At the hips the skirt is gathered, under a self-cording, to the lower portion of a short tunic of brocade which, how- ever, is belted at the normal waist line by a silver cloth girdle in short loops at the back. Rhinestone Strands Crossing Shoulders The front and back of the short tunic, separated widely under the arms, make a square bib effect half way to the neck. Rhinestones outline the semi-tunic’s peculiar shape above the girdle, and its upper corners are joined by a single strand of those heads, which, crossing the shoulders, conceal the joining of short sleeves of silver lace to an under blouse of that mesh. Those sleeves, cut off just above the elbow, and the pointed being the drama longest on the boards in New York during the theatrical vear 1913-14.

On the front of the cpening, but dropping down over the brocaded girdle, is ‘a huge cluster of pink roses. A line of ‘sable crossing one sleeve alove the elbow gives cachet to a pink | znd silver recepfion gown, which the infatuated 'voung prince of the fairy tale would instantly have purchased for Cinderella had she had the luck te see it. The sleeves of silver net are twice tucked above the elbows, where the material is gathered under deep and full ruffles of silver lace. At the normally placed shoulders those sleeves are gathered into the arm eyes of a silver net bodice whose | pointed decolletage is slightly over- laprped at the right side by a high girdle bodice of silver brocaded rose taffeta, which, at center, begins to narrow toward the left side. Across the back the girdle is of even height. -The sable band /men- tioned 'hides the gathered-on edge of a silver lace ruffle veiling the girdle- bodice almost half way to the waist, and where the fur-edging takes a rather abrupt downward trend at cen- ter two roses are clustered. Silver Lace Tengthens the Overskirt, The under-dress, simply cut falling plainly to the floor, is more than two-thirds covered by an over- skirt, full-pleated to its concealed waistband. Caught up rather higher at the right side, this overskirt is lengthened considerably by a silver lace ruffle, much wider than those trimming the sleeves. A modern Cinderella means to wear with this brocaded creation a pair of silver-heeled pink satin slippers. They 21e many sizes larger than the famous crystal pair, for she is an athletic girl, and her feet are well developed. Most stunning among the evening wraps brought from Paris by those war-alarmed refugees who had gold to and spare for clothes and the wit to cling to their luggage is a creation of pink taffeta—a double cape. The lower section, elaborately silver embroidered, falls in full folds from the shoulders to half way between the knees and ankles. There it is gathered across the back to form a long, loose puff ceming above—but not overhanging— a train lving a half yard on the floor. Hood a Combination of a Box Pleat. Plain taffeta forms the upper por- tion of the wrap. This takes the shape of a cape whose back is centered by a | single broad box pleat, which, a few ' inches below the hips, drops a trifle over a band of skunk edging it all around, as well as forming a high-; slanding collar. Across the back the loose top of the box pleat is turned over and gathered to form a hood, whi¢h, however, is not a practical af- fair. The fronts of the upper cape, Larely extended to the waist-line, ar box-pleated broadly but loosely to give additional fulness about the shoulders and gradually slope in graceful curves over the hips. A beautiful wrap worn by a -middle- aged, snowy-haired matron at the opening performance of one of the successful dramas of this season was i of rose taffeta, embroidered with tiny i circlets of silver braid. The cape- shaped garment was really long only at the back. There it stood out above the train of the gown worn beneath it, while at the sides, where it was con- siderably shorter, it showed a ten- dency to cling to the figure. The fronts, fitted loosely over the shoul- ders, were shorter than the sides and, like many of the wraps of this seasom, had no fastenings. It was simply held together with the fingers of the left ‘hand.
