Wweek. Everyone was letter perfect in lines, thorough in “business’” and the play was given with commendabie #klll. The piece approaches the melo- dramatic and is built on such my terious lines that it is not until near the final curtain that it is known who blew the safe and stole its contents This is the week's cast: oc Mary Sparks ... ..

Leonard The play is in three acts, the scenes are laid in the home of Roger Delaney in New Jersey and the time occupied is less than one day. Delaney is a rich man, his wife is ambitious and they want their daughter to marry someone of business standing but she is in love with a young lawyer whom the parents dislike. Peter Delaney, Roger’s father, is a sort of a pen- sioner on him and visits him at stated intervals for money, during which he shows a fondness for liquor, but still greater affection for his granddaugh- jensed Pinafore.

Roger Delaney has not alway been honest in his business dealin and as a result John Lisle, who is in love with Kate, is employed to obtain a return of the money. He secures the evidence and while a guest at the Delaney home he places the envelope in a safe which is blown open and Tobbed. Detectives are employed on' the job but no light is thrown upon the situation until Red Cleary makes an investigation and finds it to be the work of “The Fox,” who proves to be Peter ‘Delaney, father of Roger, and a reformed burglar. It turns out that the old man was induced to com- mit the robbery so that the evidence collected by Lisle could not be used against his son but he forced the latter to make good the money wrongfully taken and to withdraw all opposition to the marriage of the daughter with young Lisle. L. J. Fuller was the “Fox" and a gcod one, playing the part with great care and thoroughness, while the character of the son was in the hands of Mr. Wright, who .in his annoyance over the various troubles that he en- countered was sarcastically humorous and always technically correct in his work. Mr. Cross was cast as the voung lawyer and was precise, shrewd and forcible. Miss Callaway played Kate Delaney nicely and Mrs. Hibbard was the airy mother and stunning in appearance. The other characters were carefully impersonated and the play can be well said to have had a splendid presentation. BIG ADVANCE SALE FOR NEXT POLI SHOW With a moral lesson that has re- ceived commendation, “The Blindness of Virtue,” in which the Poli Players in Hartford will appear all next week, occupies a unique position among theatrical praductions. With a rec- ord of having caused more public comment that any other play of its of modern times, “The Blind- s of Virtue” has perhaps been wit- ed by more people during its stage history than any other play. Cosmo Hamilton has been lauded for his pla, That it teaches a lesson is an ad- mission of hundreds. At no time during the stock history at Poli's has there been. such a big advance sale of seats as there has already been, for “The Blindness of Virtue,” and this indicates that there will be a capacity audience at each of the twelve performances during the | week. The current attraction is “The Squaw Man,” and the players are scoring a decided success in Edward Milton Royle's western drama. This play tells a story that is not new to theatergoers, but the excellent pres- entation given it by the players makes it a notable stock achievement. All of the various parts—and it takes a big cast to present the play—are care- fully drawn and presented. The stage mountings are appropriate, and the whole piece is staged in a man. ner unusual for stack companies. The third “Get Acquainted” mat- inee yesterday afternoon was espe- cially popular.

The arrow itself starts on the seam, running from collar to arm eve, and its head rests upon the corre- sponding shoulderblade. By this means the arm eye is very definitely indicated and a narrow effect pro- duced. This appearance of slenderness is quite frequently repeated at the back, where a pair of arrows, starting at the waist line, point str: ht upward. When these four arrows, two at the shoulders and two at the wa embroidered on the back of a j s narrow effect is almost extreme and oddly in contrast with the lower portion of the garment, which nearly always has considerable flare, Arrows Are Double Headed. Particularly good among tae vance models for spring is a gray cover. The back of the jacket is distinguished by a quartet of large arrows pointing down from the shoul- ders and up from the waist Tt shows, however, a novel phase of the embroidery in that the lower pair of arrows are double headed. Of course, those extra heads have a mission to perform—tae mission of holding the materfial where it is pleated at the belt line. This makes a fan flare at either side, which clearly em- phasizes the small waist effect, which is a feature of many a spring gar- ment. From the front no one would ever suspect the gray covert—from Callot, by the way—of carrying arrows. Broad straps of the material, start- ing from the shoulders, cross below the bust upon a closely fitted waist- coat, and from where they cross are trimmed with closely placed, long buttonholes, tipped with small but- tons of gray horn. This novel style of trimming is repeated from the wrists almost to the elbows on the backs of the closely fitted sleev In view of the tendency toward flare in skirts, the japon of this (allot suit is a surprise. Most of the material is in an overdre: whica stands in wide, irregular folds awa from the narrowest of underskirts—an under- skirt, by the way, which scarcely shows. The contrast of the wide skirt and the narrow shoulders is al- most a shock. Rows of Arrows Best Trimming. Rows of small arrows make the smartest sort of trimming for a spring tailor made. No better way exi for indicating the limits of the yok at the base of the nips. But the yoke is not necessarily all encirclin in fact, it rarely is so, for the new skirts show a tendency to run straight from waist to feet at the center of back and front and to break their course by a voke at the sides only. ‘What better for this purpose than a row of closely set, down pointing ar- TOWs? To narrow the appearance at the back, a row of longer arrows, start- ing at the belt, may partly fill in the space between the side yokes. Thais is the sole trimming of a skirt be- longing to a tailored suit of darkest blue cheviot serge. Although one might expect to find ‘down pointing arrows on the jacket, in this case they go crosswise. At the waist line they cover the shirring stitches, which cause the jacket to ripple about the hips. The jacket fits closely to the figure, and would be too severe but for the flat lying, widely turned back collar of white satin. i Miss Ryan would like to dispose of the few winter coats she has left at | her shop, 79 Pratt St., Hartford and has marked several of the smart) street coats of soft, warm materials | at $10, also one handsome matelasse afternoon coat at the same price that was $45, and a few others at half price. There are some splendid bar- gains among them for they are coats that will be as good another season, not being extreme styles.—advt. Cucumber pickles are made in the following way: Wash the cucumbers clean and lay them in a crock or jar. Dissolve fine cooking salt in boiling water, making it quite strong, and pour over the cucumbers while it hot. Cover and let stand twenty-four hours, then pour off the brine and put the cucumbers in the pickle jar with layers of mixed spices between, and pour over them enough vinegar brought to the boiling point to cover. In a few days they will be ready to eat. Tickets PIERCE’'S MU A Wonderful Evening of Musical Melody !

Alvora makes up in splendid feminine form and to all appearances he is a dainty comedienne when he makes his bow before the footlights. The de- ception is carried out tarough his en- tire act and it is not until after his final. number whén he removes his wig that the audience has the slight- est idea that it has been viewing an impersonator. The young man is a remarkably clever toe dancer and there is grace in his every movement. His clothes add much to ‘his success Alvora has a most extensive ward- robe which contains a number of Parisian gowns of the latest models. He also uses a pretty scene which tly enhances his work. arren and Ardizoni are the real hits of the show. This pair of sing- ers brings down moie applause every night than any other turn on the bill and they are compelled to respond frequently with encores, a privilege seldom given to vaudeville teams ap- pearing here. Miss Warren's singing is of a particularly high order. It is her work that makes the act a win- ner, although her partner renders 11 assistance, Aboard Ship” the Fields company has one of the most ceptable musical offerings that it ha presented since its advent in this city.

There are few who enter into their music with the fervid enthusiasm and the communicating ardor that the Welsh tenor does, few who so impart the whole significance of what they <ing intelligently or make it all, great and small alike, scem so in- | tensely alive."—The Times. “Mr. Williams was at his best yes- terday, and his best is something very good. His voice was in perfect con- and his production of tone a lesson in the art. His command of breath was noteworthy and his phras- ing was guided by fastidious judg- ment It is a joy to hear a man sing in such a manly, straightforward and natural style.”—The Sun. “Tenors from Italy, Germany, France and Ireland have recently made their appeals for the esteem of New York's music-loving public, but it 18 doubtful if any of these are more deserving than is Wales' contribution to the list of competitors. Yester- day afternoon at Aeolian hall, Evan Williams, the celebrated Welsh tenor, sang to a crowded house. Mr. Wil- liams has proved himself a cultured and talented musician, and his art possesses the inexpressible charm of a nightingale’s song or the dulcet warble of a thrush.”—The American. “Tt is a pleasure to record the great success of Evan Williams, at ‘his re- cital in Aeolian hall yesterday after- noon. His is a fine organ and ves- terday it was under perfect control. He began with a group of Handel, which he sang beautifully. Then fol- lowed three charming songs by Protheroe. When Mr. Williams sings as he did yesterday there are few artists before the public who can equal him. His voice is glorious, and he knows how to use It, and he has temperament.”’-—Evening Post. Williams is going to come to Hart- ford with Witherspoon, the Metro- politan opera basso, and Seigel, the violinist, next Tuesday, at Foot Guard hall.

The scenes of the play are laid in and around a | lonely frontier army post in the old | Indian days, and in order that the vi- | vid atmosphere of plece be retained to the fullest extent the entire com- pany was sent to Fort Assinaboine, Montana. There amidst the rugged western scenery, with real cavalry troopers, and with real Indians the scenes of this virile military drama were enacted for the camera. Robert Edeson who has been secured to play the lead is universally known to the | theater-going public as the star of many Broadway successes, and a¢ Lieutenant Hawksworth, Mr. Edeson has a part well fitted to his exception- al ability, and the dashing manly courage with which the young officer meets the many difficulties and dan- gers that confront him make a way for him into the hearts of the specta- tor.
