News foi‘ Thedtre -Goers and Women Reade rs LYCEUM PATRONS “The Stranger” will be presented at the Lyceum this evening and the final matinee of the "week will be glven Saturday afternoon. No play that has been presented at the Lyce- um in a long time has faken such a grip on the play-goers as has the present one. The comedy and combin- ation of northern and southern at- mosphere is most pleasing. { p During, the coming week the attrac- tion will be “The Fox.” In this play there is an abundance of vigorous ac- tion and the dialogue4s followed with a fascinating interest. The whole story develops as of over night. It involves | the members of the family of Peter Delaney, to whom the police, in years gone by, had applied the sobriquet of | ““The.Fox” in consequence of his clev- Il er criminal operations. Delaney had worked so cutely that he escaped de- tection for years and at the time of the opening of the action in the playv is living a qufet.life on the income of money given to him by his son who had become a multi-millionaire. The Fox calls .on his son, where he is given a cool reception. Persistent work on the part of detectives finally brings the fox to bay. Whist clubs are taking advantage of the generous offer of four box seats for a first prize and among those who have won them thus far are W. | D. Smith, who took the first at t. oseph’s church whist and Mrs. Nor- &n who won in her club at Plain- ville.. On Sunday evening the management i -presendg-one of the most speciacular motion pictures produced to date. Tt is Hanlon’s, ‘“Fantasma.” This stu- pendous spectacular feature as a stage attraction was one of the greatest of its kind and was viewed by millions of theater goers. “SHOPPING TRIP” GOOD AT KEENEY’S Among the features of the show at Keeney’'s this week, ‘“The Shopping Trip,”” presented by Clark and Wil- son, a pair of operatic singers, stands out prominently, and judging from the applause at every performance it is one of the most popular special- ties on the program. Miss Wilson is the possessor of a beautiful soprano voice of great range and her singing is one of the most enjoyable parts of In the burlesque on the sex- tet from the opera “Lucia,” the couple make a most pronounced hit. There is a bright dialogue used in the act. The humor is of excellent quality and it strikes a most responsive chord in the audience. “Hoity Toity,” the musical comedy used this week as a vehicle for the Fields brothers and their company of singers and comedians, continues most popular. The Fields score heavily every day with their funny stage business, They are good Ger- man comedians, are masters of the ; dialect and have a strong sense of humor. They have big opportunities | in this week’s piece to display their wares and their exhibit has a telling effect. Harry Jackson, the Hebrew comedian, the Three Shaws and the lesser lights in the company also do well. There are some good songs on the musical program used. Pauline Carr and Baby Pauline are favorites with the patrons. Miss Carr sings entertainingly and her little partner contributes much @ towards amusing the audience. The little one is a good singer for a girl of her vears, The audience is fascinated by her and applauds her work mest gen- erously. There is some good comedy and the best of music in the act of the Two Sandies, Scotch comedians, who open the show. Patrons of the theater recognize them as the best pair of singing comedians to furnish enter- tainment here in months. Thae, acrobatic specialty of The Alimos is full of thrills and the many spectacular features place it far above sthe ordinary tumbling act. - An excellent motion picture pro- gram is promised for this evening. GOOD FILMS AT SCENIC. “The Key to Yesterday,” a five-part photo-play. of intrigue and mystery with Carlyle Blackwell, the popular idol of motion picture devotees in the leading role, will'be shown. at the Scenic this evening. This is general- 1y conceded to he one of the greatest achievements of the film makers and in every city where it has been shown it has won the admiration of all the motion picture house patrons. The Scenic is the only theater in town hav- ing a glass mirror curtain. Miss Ryan has ten afternoon dresses that have been from $30 to $56 which she placed on sale today at $10 each at her shop, 79 Pratt street, Hart- ford. There are dainty colors as well as black, brown and blue, and a glance at the three in her east win- dow will show you. what you are to expect i the way of style, quality of silk, etc. Go up stairs and see the others.—advt. TONIGHT! Ye Old Folks’ Choir { for 'm just an old-fashioned Presby- (Katharine Anthony in New York Tribune.’ Balzac discovered the of | thirty, Charlotte Perkins Gilman discovered the woman of fifty. The | interesting age for women is moving up. One hea very often the puz- | zled query: “What is to become | the woman of fifty? Her children | no longer demand her time, and she is'too old to learn a new occupation, | so what are we to do with her?” The other day I met a woman who began her career at fifty—began it | as a matter of course, and perseverel with all the zest of a successful nov- ice. There is nothing problematical about her. There are few men in the state who might not well envy the brilliant record of business man- agement which Mrs. Rose M. Knox has to show since her debut at fifty into the world of finance. Mrs. Knox has been for seven years the sole head and manager of the Charles B. Knox company, at Johns. town, N. Y., manufacturers of gela- tine. The business which she taok over at her husband’s death has in- creased so enormously under Mrs. Knox’s stngle handed direction that she may justly be said to have won her place among the capitalists by her own exertions. Evidently it seemed the most nat- ural thing in the world to her that she should have used her widow’s in- come to a do-with fund instead of consuming it in idleness. Business Has Kept Her Young. Her age and position, as a proper- tied widow with yvoung married sons, are those of the typical fat dowager much celebrated in fiction. But Mrs. Knox is neither fat nor a dowager. Business life has afforded her dynamic personality an oppartunity to find 1self, and active participation in busy affairs has kept her extremely young in both spirit. and appearance. After seeing her one wonders whether a course in expert accounting might not be a valuable addition to the equip- ment of the beauty shops. “It was like this,”” she said. *“T either had to run the business mysel’ or employe a manager. EWell S it T had chosen the latter, as most women would have done in my place, T sup- pose, by the time my boys were of age the business would have belonged to the manager. “The first thing I did on taking charge was to put expert accountante all aver the place. Besides the gela- tine factory there were a newspaper and two other investments. I wanted to know just where I stood, and I also wanted to establish a standard. of accounting to be lived up to in the future.” I asked Mrs. Knox if she used the same methads in the management of her home that she used in the man- agement of her business. “Ag far as possible. I know that I have learned a great deal about housekeeping from business manage- ment. I have recently bullt a new kitchen, and a model it is in every respect, but I should never in the world have known enough to do that before I became a factory mansager. “First T put up a building for the newspaper plant, then I built a new gelatine factory, and by that time I knew enough to build a kitchen. “Another thing that I have learned In business is to cover any outlay by my intake. I love beautiful flowers and my conservatory is one of my greatest pleasures. But a conservas tory is an expensive pet. So I just decided to make the greenhouse pay for itself, and have carried out that decision by raising orchlds for the market. I cali the orchids the bread- winners for the other flowers. “I am bound to say that I get on with men better generally than with women. Once I was invited to an af- ternoon party given by a ladies’ lit- erary’ society. Everybody was re- quested to memorize a quotation for the afternoon. I had failed to do so because I had been too busy at the factory. So I fell back on one of my favorite proverbs, ‘He who stumbleth twice over the same stone deserves to break his néck.’ One of the ladies exclaimed at this, saying that she thought it a harsh maxim. That started a lively debate, every- body taking sides. It turned out that only one lady in the room was on my side. All the rest agreed with my opponent that the proverb was a cruel one. “I don’t suppose I have what you would call a philosophy of life, or any especial theory of business. I'm not a college graduate, and have only a high school education. I haven't even one of the new-fashioned religions, woman and terian. AIl that I have to guide me is just plain common sense. T confess 1 like to win, even if it’s only a game of bridge. And in dealing with peo- ple I've always tried to remember that ‘Molasse catches more flies than vinegar.” 1 have had only three ad- visors in my whole business career my lawyeér, my banker and my adver- tising agent.

Morce Interesting Since Sons Entered Business, “Now that my sons have entered the business it becomes all the more interesting. “My problem now is to educate my young partners out of my own experience in such a way that they may profit by what T know, and that She Says She Is An Old Fashioned Presbyterian Guided By Plain Common Sense — Is Having Success- ful Career. |One Woman Makes Her Debut In Business at Age of 50 Years valuable corrective to the old head in the business. 1 quite welcome the discipline 1 shall get from having to defer to the opinions of younger heads. ! ““As to the science of business, am still only a beginner. 1 am just in the kindergarten cl , but I don’t intend to stop there. I intend te go on learning. One thing is very cer- tain; I don't expect to be on the shelf.” I was not surprised to learn from Mrs. Knox at the end of our inter- view that she was not a suffragist. Like a great many men who find bugs iness an all-absorbing occupation, she does not find politics a stimulating subject. And like most people who have so strongly the gift and | in- stinct of efficiency, she is almost a stranger to feelings of moral indig- nation. Those whom experience has taught to trust in their own skill are likely to be more or less indifferent to their rights. “THE SQUAW MAN," . POLI'S NEXT WEEK | 1 The comedy succe: “Baby in which the players are appearing this week at Poli's theater, Hartford, is proving very popular with large audiences. Tt will be presented twice today and twice tomorrow. The play- ers return to western drama, next week when they will offer “The Squaw Man,"” a play for which they are admirably suited. The story is not unknown to most theatergoers but its intensity is such that it never fails to hold an audience tight in its grip. Wynnegate, a young English army officer, is in charge of a fund raised for the relief of the widows and child- ren of the men killed. The Karl of Kerhill, by means of a forged check, embezzles a large part of the fund. ‘Wynnegate agrees with the earl's mother, in order to save the family honor, to run away and leave the im- pression that he was the real thief. He goes west and is loved by ‘the squaw and, as a reward for her brav- ery in saving his life, he marries her. In after yvears his relatives find him in the west and tell him that the Earl when nearing his death admitted the real guilt of the embezlzement and cleared him. Wynnegate malkes plans to send his boy back to England to educate him as befits his position for he will inherit the relative's property when they dle. The squaw commits suicide at this point and leaves Wyn- negate free to return to his old station in England with his boy, where he marries his old sweetheart.

ROBERT HILLIARD'S Voted by all who witnessed the private showing at the million dollar Strand theater, New York, a few days ago as the most sensational and mag- nificent production of the season, “A Fool There Was," by Porter Emerson Browne, and an adaptation from Rudyard Kipling’s “Vampire,” will hold the stellar position on the mo- tion picture program for today and tomorrow. “A Fool There Was,” in play form, was Robert Hilliard's greatest success, and now comes the photo-play which is destined to be a greater hit than the legitimate stage production. This sensational play, one of the most successful of the country, and for many yvears the starring vehicie of Robert Hilliard, has been convert- turn rapidly until the mixture begins | little water | !stir in half a cupful of English wal- | GREAT PLAY AT FOX'S ed into a supremely vivid and start- | ling photo-play by the Willlam Fox forces. Edward Jose, former lead- ing man with Sarah Bernhardt, por- trays in a masterly manner the “Fool,” who forsakes family and friends for a soulless, sensual crea- ture in the guise of a beautiful wom- an. Theda Bara, leading woman at the Theater Antoine, Paris, has been cast as the “Vampire,” one of the most fascinating, though revolting female characters ever created. Miss Bara’s interpretation is remarkable for intense dramatic realism, while Tier wonderfully seductive beauty serves to enhance the illusion created by her art, Her gowns in this pro- duction were designed by the leading costumers of her native Paris. Mable Frenyear, Victor Benoit, May Allison, Clifford Bruce and little Runa Hodges, the clever child actress, to- gether with many other players of reputation and ability, form a sup- porting company such ag has seldom been gathered for a single production. To enhance the beauty of the story and play, a new innovation will be offered in conjunction with the photo- drama, and is one that has never be- fore been seen at any of the theaters through the east. Several excellent comedies will augment the program.

Last summer I was the cause and the object of one of the most amus- ing breaks 1 ever witnessed. 1 was staying at a little country inn and had used (or abused) the freedom of my surroundings to be just as ther- oughly and comfortaby diisreputable in appearance as I chose One evening, however, I was to meet friends and for this occasion dressed up in a city frock and went down to supper.
