This is a Cohan & Har- ris production® and their stamp of ap- proval on it is one of the hest guar antees of its excellence, “The Idea” is an attraction of such | order that even now interest and please the theatrical patrons of New York and Brookivn. Tweo companies are playing it in those cities. The play is a distinctive novelty and .quite out of the ordinary line of plays. The plot is original in its conception and the unfurling of + keeps the audience mystified through out the entire recital. “The Idea” is the joint work of ot sl Thomas, author of “The Rainbow, and Clayton Hamilton, author of how plays shouldn’t be written. The story is original in its conception and t presentation on such unique lines appeals to the play- { goers. Such a radical departure has leen made in it that it will be better appreciated by being seen without an inkling of what it is about. Backed up as it is by stamp of approval of the dramatic critics and the guaran- tee of the Lyceum management, ca- pacity houses throughout the week are sure to be the order. The pass ex- change privilege introduced last week will be available for the Monday and Tuesday evening performances only, and* only for those who present the passes at the advance sale at Crowell's drug store and complying with the condition calling for the purchase of a ticket. WILTON LACKAYE AT FOX’'S THEATER it continues to A program of excellent entertain- ing qualities is in store for the Fox patrons today and tomorrow in three big -individual features. Tonight in- augurates the policy of presenting a, well known organist in a series of recitals that will introduce New Eng- land’s most finished artists. Pro- fessor Frederick F. Harmon com- mences his engagement this evening at 8:30 o’clock, and will render the following program: Introduction to third act of “Lohengrin” by Wagner, Melodie in D by Callaerts and “March in B Flat” by Victor Hammeral, giv- ing the patrons a well arranged and selected musical program. The sec- is the presentation of Wilton Lackaye, the well known Broadway star, in “The Children of the Ghetto,” a filve part masterpiece dramatized from Israel Zangwill's materwork, Probably the greatest feature ever attempted in any the- | ater is the selection of Hebraic Chants of Biblical times on the mammoth organ played appropriately and in conjunctions with many scenes in the above production by the new organ- ist, Ernest F. Jores. [n this pro- Guction, Wilton Lackaye is cast in the principal part, that of ‘“Reb Shemuel,” a character that will live as long as llterature or the drama exists. Mr. Lackaye brings to the role pre-eminent ability, a reputation as the greatest character actor on the stage, and a depth of emotional ap- peal and human understanding that will warm the coldest heart. The story is woven about the life of Rabhbi Samuel Jacobs, a sternly re- ligious old patriarch, who insists that the customs of his: forefathers be ob- served by his grown up son and daughter. The first blow falls when his son leaves home to become an ac- tor; still other sorrows are in store for the patriarch when his daughter marries a man forbidden to her ac- cording to the Rabbinical law. The third and big laughing hit is the showing of harlie Chaplin, that funny comedian, in another two part funny comedy. Today’'s Pathe News will also be shown.

Flowers and candy were the first departures from the fragile paper val- entines of years ago, and gradually the range of appropriate gifts has in- creased until now the possibilities of Valentine’s Day which came yester- day but which is being observed to- day are alxpost unlimited. Whatever the gift is, particular at- tention should be paid to the exterior of the package. The wrapping should not only be dainty and attractive, but designed to suggest the idea of a val- entine. White paper with fancy red seals, or red paper with white seals, is a suitable wrapping. Gummed seals in the form of cupids, bows and arrows and hearts are practical as well as or- namental, and there are many at- tractive ribbons of gauze showing the desired colorings. The present fancy is to let white predominate, rather than red. A white gauze ribbon, with a line of bright red on each selvage, tied in a many looped bow and trust through witha scarlet pasteboard arrow, is an ideal fastening fo a package containing a valentine | gift. The ends of the ribbon may be trimmed with little red hearts, that dangle over the white paper wrapping. Artificial’ Flowers for the Limousine. The vogue of artificial flowers offers many suggestions for the practical val- entine giver. A few perfect carnations or roses, of fibre will be appreciated by’ the woman who dislikes the odor of fresh flowers in her limousine, and no “posy bouquets” for personal Flowering bulbs are also a good choice for a valentine present, and where the bulbs are embedded in pebbles the se- { lection of an attractive dish will pro- enjoyment of the blossoms. Whether of zlass, pottery or metal, such a holder makes the gift of a flowering bulb un- usvally ecceptable, ; Candy may also be presented in such { a container as to make the gift some- thing of lasting value. Among such novelties are receptacles of quaintly decorated china which remind one of cld time tureens and vegetable dishes in miniature form. There are also bowls and low, broad vases of glass painted in odd colorings, which can be filied with the bonbons of one’s choice. Lace paper of the old time valentine i type should be tucked in as a, covering, and the package is ready for wrappings appropriate to the occasion. Shallow trays, suited for solding but one layer of-candy, also make acceptable holders rangement. be cut to fit the surface of the layer of candy. Over this goes a lace paper dcily with embossed red hearts, and the whole should be tied with white and red gauze ribons. A Valentine Powder Box. A simple powder box for the toilet table is easily made, and will prove a practical valentine gift. Select an irexpensive long-stemmed glass, with shallow, spreading bowl.

By omitting the puff such a glass re- ceptacle could be used for buttons, studs and other small articles. A lingerie pillow in the form of a heart is a favorite vanentine gift for an invalid or the occupants of the nur- sery. One pillow of that shape has an embroidered heart in the center, with- in which are the initials of the recipi- ent.

Henderson Bland and Jack McGraw. The war talk to be given by James F. J. Archibald, war correspondent at the Parsons theater on Thursday night will have an especial value and interest to the general public because a goodly portion of it is devoted to the operations in Galicia and the en- tire eastern line of campaign from the Austro-Hungarian and German sides.

The Fields have made a most fa- vorable impression since coming to this city and the news of their de- cision to remain here another week will - be well received through the city. Another act that will make a deep impression the Four Musical Kieises. These talented musicians are usually billed as headliners and their coming to this city in any other capacity is a tri- bute to the cleverness of the local management.
