All the principal features of this attraction are incorporated in the vaudeville act and “first nighters” ex pressed the opinion that the results are all that could be expected. The piece iz brimful of humor and the many fine situations are splendidly handled by the comedians and their supporters. afternoon make | Zoing to be one of the biggest hits of | It has a snap to it that| is | I ing ? for New York’s Many Sick Children Miss Rhena Anita Pugsley, Kindergartner, Has Kindly Their Woes—She Is E.

She wondered at th sadne of a2 home which would cause a s -old invalid to prefer to it a public hospital ward. But I wondered by what Miss Rhena Anita Pugsley made a homesick timid and pain-racked child forget everything but the fun he was going to miss if he had to go home for the holid A glance around the room, long, se- vere, filled with beds, was a partial ex- planation of the phenomenon. For on the walls were long freizes of red cloth on which were pasted paper animals fiowers and other cheery and intere objects. And on the low, white covered table, with eight tiny chairs arcund, were books pasted with bright- 1y colored flowers that the children had made. And most striking of all was the manner in which the children who were able to be up gathered about Miss Rhena and clamored for a game. Miss Rhena quickly complied, setting down her load of wvariously hued and shaped cardboards, and they all played ! “Mulberry Bush.” "Round and 'round they hopped, laughing in squeaky lit- tle voices. And most joyvous was the stif youngster who was probably never to leave the ward.

She visited the children’s wards I (Doris in h don't Rhena chap ke who art is The Fields continue to make merry ar German comedians and the parts they*have in this week’s bill give them big:' chances to display their versatility as well as character delineators. Harry Jackson, the Hebrew fun- maker, has an important part in the piece and he plays it admirably. The Three Shaws as usual, contribute much towards the success of the play and the members of the chorus also acquit themselves with credit. The Great Alvora, a female imper- sonator of much ability, does a clever bit of dancing. Alvora has but re- cently returned from Furope, where he had been playing for many months. He brought with him a number of Parisian gowns that won the envy of the women in last night’s audience. ‘Warren and Ardizoni appear to ad- vantage in an operatic spectalty. They have good singing voices and they harmonize well. Ardizoni in “The Ragpicker” won great favor from “first nighters.” In this num- Dher he impersonates Caruso. RBowen and Brwen have a sketch and Mlle. Camille presents a dog circus that is so far ahead of other canine specialties seen here that it can hardly be placed in the same classification. The several little animals used in the act are well educated and they exhibit rare intelli- gence. lively ““THE SQUAW MAN” IS GOOD AT POLTI'S That delicate little romance of the west, “The Squaw Man,” is the effort of the new Poli Players in Hartford this week, and their production of it vesterday was, in many respects, stock work of unusual worth. The piece is highly creditable for the various elements that enter into it. There are good opportunities for comedy, there is the sigh and sob in- terest, there is also a tendency to melodrama but it never gets away from solid, clean and wholesome drama. Marguerite Skirvin as Diana, the wife of Henry Wyngate, earl of Ker- hill | is very beautiful and charming. She has been popular from her first appearance with the Poli Payers but this week should increase her hold on the public. And Harry Hollingsworth in the role of Captain Wyngate, afterwards Jim Carston, works well with the charming voung leading woman. He is very manly and very much under restraint in his love for Diana. The other members of the cast arc very well suited in the parts entrusted to them. Ada Dalton is dignified and aristocratic in bearing as l.ady Eliza- beth Wyngate. Welba Lestina is thor- oughly competent as Tady Mabel Wyngate, a role not rich in possibili- ties. Harry Wischer provides some very good work as the Bishop of Exe- ter and Roy Phillips as Sir John Ap- plegate, is satisfactory.. Ben MacQuarrie has big opportuni- ties as Henry Wyngate, but at best the character is a disagreeable one Forrest Seabury as Tab-y-wans, peiace chi of the Utes, makes u stolid, impressive character and pretty Madeline Moore as Nat-U-Ritch, his daughter, gives a good account of her- self. The other members of the com- pany-are utilized as cowboys and other characters and each and one contributes his share to the sful production. eve suce- ce Don’t spoil 21 meals to =ave 3 or 4 cents.

Each time she was filled with a greater regret and with a stronger resolve to remedy matters as he had found them. And the result is the installation of Miss Pugsley in the children’s wards at bellevue hos- rital Miss Pugstey conducts in wards a kindergarten, both for children who are in bed and those who are up and convalescing. She has been a public school kindergart- ner, and Miss Curtis had infinite faith in her capacity to flll an entirely new position and blaze the way in a new occupation. There have been kinder- gartens for healthy children and for cripples and defectives. But what has happened to sick children in hos- pitals? They have never rebelled—that is. to the outside world—so the world just thought their lot was a natural one. They felt that the child was sick. And of course it hated the hos- pital. Sick children are fretful, and hospitals are uncomfortable, and that was all there was to it. But Miss Curtis saw a great deal more to it. She saw that the children were un- utterably lonely. They had no inner life to solace their inactivity. And thiey were so homesick. Their parents came to see them perhaps' twice a week, And after they these the went the wards were bedlam. The children threw themselves about and wailed and velled for their mothers. The nurses regretted, but what was there to do® The children made themseclves fever- ish and ill after the brief moments of happiness, but nothing could be done about it. And after the excite- ment had worn off they just 1t around, or lay around und waited, too listless and miserable to move. They had nothing to do. They had nothing to thing about. They had no- body to think with them and make them forget the bleak walls, and no- body to pet them.

Of course, it is all based on the kindergarten tem of teaching, but it must be highly modified and amplified.” Miss Pugsley and her able young assistant, Miss ‘Ruth Campbell, are the most cheery and popular mem- bers of the entire institution. *“Why," exclaimed one of the nurses, hugging Miss Rhena, “I don’t know what we should do without them. Neither do the children. When people know of this they will realize what splendid opportunity has long been neglected.” Overexcited, 'HOUSEHOLD NOTES Mix cream cheese with chili sauce and serve on lettuce salad for a relish.
