For weeks p: the appreciation of the theater-going bublic has risen higher and 'higher every week. The approval given by those who have seen the play this week is most enthusiastically voiced. “I never before saw such a wonder- ful play. “It is the b thing the Players have done yet.” “We must be sure that motaer es the play this week. She will enjoy it so mych.” These are some of the expressions overheard as patrons have left after seeing the show. “The Big Idea” is a most distinc- tive novelty and should be seen to be fully appreciated. The play is of such excellence that it is worth can- celling other engagements in order to witness it. The management is offering a Broadway attraction b Broadway actors and at popular prices, Failure to see it as given at the Lyceum this week will be a lost opportunity. There will be a matinee performance orn Thursday afternoon. The Lyceum was crowded last cvening and the standing room only sign wag hung out early. A theater party of ninety-five persons who par- ticipated in or were friends of those connected with the Red Mill was pres- ent and occupied a specially reserved block in the orchestra. The manage- ment 'nas another big treat in store for its patrons. Watch this space for the announcement of the big show next week. PROFESSOR HARMON APPLAUDED, FOX'S! Judging from the applause given Professor Harmon on his two recitals Monday and last evening, Fox patrons thoroughly enjoyed this new innova- tion, and much credit must be given Professor Harmon for his delicate and sympathetic touch, which puts him on a pinnacle of musical success that will be hard to reach by those who will follow him. Tonight Professor Har- man will change his selections with the change of the motion picture por- tion of the program, and he promises some surprises. Today ushers in 4he eighth and very latest chapter of the much read serial story “The ploits of Elaine.” This chapter deals with the “Hidden Voice,” as published in last Sunday’s American. “The Clutch- ing Hand” still proceeds with his das- tardly work, and Craig Kennedy, the invincible detective is hot on his trail and he shows his true worth in this episode that is a veritable thriller. The big multiple attraction is the first screen presentation of Digby Bell. in “The Education of Mr. Pipp,” an American comedy taken from Chas. Dana Gibson’s famous pen and ink story of that name. The story of “Tha Education of Mr. Pipp” is a comedy drama written around a Pittsburg family whose members are trying to break into society through the million dollars obtained by their father sel- ling his iron business to the steel trust. They move to New York, en- deavor to break into society, and the mother in her ambition engages a bogus French nobleman to teach her- self and her daughters the French language. It is a most interesting ag well as entertaining feature chock full of laugh provoking situations and Digby Bell does the best work of his varied career in this production. Ern- est Jores, the Fox organist has select- ed a suitable and well arranged mus- ical program for the accompaniment of the big attraction. Safety First.

WITH STRAIGHT UPPER EDGE. OR WITHOUT PEPLUM WITH | The garment that can be quickly and easily made and is at the same time dainty and attractive appeals to every woman who makes her own clothes. The main portion of this corset cover is cut all in one piece and, since the upper edge is straight, it is e:.pccla[ly well adapted to flouncing. There are only under-arm seams and the closing is made at the center front by means of _buttons and button-holes. It can be “finished at the waist line with a peplum and belt or with a belt only as preferred. In the illustration, it is'made of embroid- ered flouncin; The armhole edges are T S T e o T e G belt is covered with beading and ribbon. In the small back view, the corset cover is shown made of nainsook trimmed with Valenciennes lace insertion and edging and finished at the waist line with a belt of beading and ribbon. [ For the medium size, the corset cover will require 134 yards of material 36 or 44 Inches wide; or, 134 yards of flouncing 15 inches wide with I yard of insertion, 115 yards of edging, 3¢ yard of beading and %% yard of plain material 36 inches wide for the peplum.

Perhaps you dislike insects . It will be too bad if you do, because nearly every milliner will try to sell you a hat on which is perched a huge bug, whose horned body is brilliantly colored and whose wings are neutral toned. Do not try to dislodge the creature from the brim edge upon which it apparently has just alighted, because it his been firmly sewed there. The chances are that vou will see it first upon the newest models in sail- ors. The sailor of the coming season has a moderately broad, slightly de- pressed brim and a reasonably hign crown. Encircling that crown is a ribbed ribbon, and on the front edge of the brim the insect is perched. The smartest of these mew sailors are in two shades, and the leading combina- tion is tan and aquamarine. The tan appears in the taffeta covering of the shape and in the wings of the huge bug, while the blue-ribbed ribbon banding the crown matches the shade of the straw facing of the brim and the body of the insect permanently perched upon its edge. Unless the leghorn hat for the sea- son at Bermuda has a scalloped elged brim, it is not smart as it should be. If there is anything more fetching among hats than a leghorn with a vel- vet-piped scalloped brim, few women have seen it. And nothing could be simpler, unle: perhaps, it is the wreath of flowers encircling the crown’s base. Very tiny flowers they are, and they join demurely under tiny black velvet bows. The use of the little black velvet bow is the revival of an old, old fashion. Teghorn Must Have Scalloped Edge. A leghorn hat which sailed for Ber- meda last week in the trunk of a New York girl has a brim edge of eight shallow scallops, black velvet bound. The base of the crown is merely out- lined, because the short strands of spring flowers wreathing it are small- er than any which nature makes, and their pale tones are emphasized by the tiny black velvet bows joining their ends. Fancy this hat above a white voile flowered frock! Straw and taffeta hats are very smart. Nearly always the brim is of straw, while the crown, or perhaps only its top, is of silk. But it is the top which chiefly matters for that is the portion which mostly shows since the brim rolls high against it at one side | Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY{MANTON 7555 House Jacket with Peplum, 34 to 42 bust. WITH ELBOW CR LONG SLEEVES. A well fitting, becoming house jacket is what every woman desires. This one is exceptionally attractive. It is finished with a smooth fitting peplum that does away with all bulk over the hips and in- cludes separate sleeves of moderate size that can be finished below the elbows or at the wrists. Whether the jacket is worn over an odd skirt or made with a skirt to match, it is most satisfactory. Added to its other advantages, it is very simple, re?umng very little time for the making. In the illustration, the collar is scalloped and that finish is alw ays pretty, but piped edges and bands of contrasting material -are equally in vogue. There arc only front and back portions to the and the front edges are finished with hems. The peplum is made in three sc tions and a belt connects it with thc blouse portion. Whatever the length of | the sleeves, they are gathered and joined to bands. For the medium size, the jacket will re- quire 3% yards of material 27, 23§ yards 36 or 124 yards 44 inches wide. The pau.ern 7555 is cut in sizes for a 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inch bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fash- Ln Department of this paper, on receipt f ten ceats.

Under a clus- ter of flowers the depressed portion of the crown is sewed in place; and the flowers are the only touch of bright- ness about these small shapes, which | 5 | are changed daily and only first run usually are in trotteur shades—black, tete-de-negre, brown or perhaps war- ship gray, like a model of that tone whose taffeta crown is pinioned at the left side with a bright pink rose clus- ter. The Transparent, Broad Black Hat. Gauze crepe makes stunning spe- cimen of the broad brimmed black hat. These hats are made of two lay ers’'of the gauze, and between the s tions coverng the brim, bachelor but- tons are clustered flatiy at interva Other flowers may be thus used, pro- viding they can be flattened without losing symmetry of bachelor blue is most effective. This rather low crown and slightly de- pressed brim shape is at its happiest in white gauze crepe, because between the two layers the flattened flowers show as soft toned color spots of rath- er indefinite outline. One of the charming conservative models, with wide, gracefully curved brims, moderately high crowns and a simple sufficiency of trimming. It is of white, with a black velvet band, and roses set in black velvet rosettes. Another of Tippe's madels is eccen- tric. Tts uncompromising smallness of shape makes the boldness of bird perched on the bright straw top all the more appar- ent. Tn coloring, too, the effect is un- expected, for while the bird and crown’s top are in red the band and brim are in dark blue. Were it not for the fact that straw clings so closely to the head, the small hat borne along on its enormous black satin bows, might be carried completely away. the NO MATERIAL CBANGE, Washington, Feb. 17.—The United States, President Wilson said yesterday received no confirma has ion or re- ports had addressed the powers on restoring order in Mexico.

The act is built along lines suggested in the old school room specialties but its many novel features make it practically new turn, and the audience likes it. There is plenty of wholesome amusement in the piece and the musical program is one that should find favor all week. The company is made up of some clever people and they present a most entertaining turn. The song num- bers go big every day and encores are demanded at every performance. The Fields brothers continue a big attraction. They are presenting as | a special feature of this week's pro- gram “Dutch Justice,” an amusing version of “The Sapho Trial,” in which Weber and Fields were so suc- cessful on the legitimate stage. The Fields are remarkably clever Ger-~ man comedians. In fact in spects they resemble their illustrious brother, Lew Fields. They ar ‘ported by a company of entertainers of a high order. including Harry Jackson and the Three Shaws. Their act is a veritable scream from rt to finish .and the audience enjoys a continuous laugh while they hold forth. There is no musical act on the vaudeville stage that has entertain- ing qualities superior to those of the number in which the Four Kleises are appearing. This quartet plays a va- riety of brass instruments in pleasing style. The two children in the turn are talented musicians and they fur- nish good part of the entertain- ment.
