NTIST Ik Building. 1 News for T hgdtre Go ers and Women Readers MUCH INTEREST IN NEXT LYCEUM PLAY The great metropolitan success, “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway,” will be 'presented by the Lyceum Plu)jers at the Lyceum during the coming week, with a special matinee on Washington's birthday, Monday. This most popular Cohan & Harris success will ‘have its finest production at the hands of the players than at any time since it became available to stock companies. It is an attraction _of such stupendousness that it is only rarely attempted by permanent stock companies. During the next week when it is given here the complete character requirements will be met to the very last detail. A special chorus from New York has been engaged and the theater orchestra will be aug- mented for the occasion. “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway” is a play with music and in giving it to the stage George M. Cohan, the Yankee Doodle boy, gave it more strictly dramatic work than anything he wrote up to that time. The scene of the play-is laid at New Rochelle and the plot deals with the humorous side of suburban life. The delightful song, “So Long Mary,” is well brought out when Mary Jane Jenkins, a mald in the palatial home of a millionaire, leaves after the death of her friend, quite disappointed because she was presumed to be the heiress. The mil- lionaire’s nephew gets the estate and. being a ‘sporty chap, he proceeds tc burn up some of the fortune. He finds the will and conceals it, during which time there is a rapid succes- sion of amusing complications and dramatic situations. Finally he re- veals it to Mary, who destroys it to retain his love. The interest in the play will be well maintained. “The Big Idea,” which is being pre- sented this week, proves to be the most satisfactory play of the season and capacity houses have been the rule throughout the week. It is an exceptional play, distinetly novel in its plot and tells a story of fine in- terest. There will be a matinee Sat- urday. afternoon, On Sunday evening the manage- ment offers a fine series of special fea- ture pictures to its patrons. - Eight reels of classical pictures will' be shown. ‘‘Stop Thief,” a five reel fea- ture, will be .in the list. IMMORTAL STORY IN FOX PICTURF Another notable production of th motion picture worid and one that | sure to draw the usual overflow audi ence that one is accustomed to set ing at Fox’'s is announced at this pop ular playhouse for today and tomor row, when the celebrated duo, Ma> Figman and Lolita Roberston will b« seen in “The Hoosier Schoolmaster.’ This immortal story tells of the twc parties which have forever been bat- tling for social supremacy, The party of the future and thé party of the past. An everyday story of plain peo- ple invested with a deep human inter- est which is common to all subjects that deal with men and women. The production is sprinkled plentifully with laughable situations interspersed with thrilling situations that will be enjoyed by both young and old. Max Figman and Lolita Robertson will be remembered for their excellent work in “The Man on the Box,” shown at this theater not so very long ago, and their work in today’s production give them better and greater opportunities for their versatility. Mr. Figman will be seen in the part of Ralph Harstook, the schoolmaster with a 'nigh gense of moral obligations, who drifted into Hoosier town in the early days of that state, and successfully demon- strated that “larnin” was a Kkeener edged tool than “lickin,” while Miss Robertson will be presented in the character of the girl who was bound out as a servant in the ‘“Means” household, with the balance of the cast doing some real excellent work. Several single reel comedies of first run calibre, meaning those of the very best, and Fox patrons are in store for a great comedy treat for the com- ing two days. Professor Harmon will change his overtures today, and those who have enjoyed his capable hand- ling of the mammoth organ the early part of the week will he learing him again in several new and difficult selections, * it may be incidentally mentioned today that Fox patrons have a real at for them Sunday night in the .

Dakota and Oregon permit payment for room and board for pu- pils in homes convenient to schools not exceed the cost of transportation. As to the means of transportation the bulletin says: “‘Sentiment seems to favor the school wagon where proper- ly managed; vet while the wagon is fur- nished, many children are transported by steam railroads, electric cars, au- tomobiles and even by gasoline launches.” Competent drivers are essential in any Pplan for transportation, acs cording to the bulletin. The char- acter of the driver is so important that state legislation in some in- stances, for example Wisconsin, re- quires that “each driver contracted with must be of excellent moral char- acter, trustworthy and responsible, and must furnish a safe team with suitable conveyance.” The kind of the wagons used is regarded as so important that many states purchase their own wagons and hire only drivers and teams. “The best wagons,” declares the bul- | iletin, “are those where the driver sits | inside with the children, and where there are glass sides instead of cur- tains.”” In cold weather rugs, and lap ropes are used, and sometimes the wagons are heated by means of oil stoves, The cost per pupil for transporta- | tion, as given by the bulletin, ranges from ten to eighteen cents per day. The average expense for 'the school year is about $23 per pupil. “THE PRINCE PARTY” PHOTOPLAY AT GRAND “The Prince Party,” a two part photo play, with Francis X, Bush- man in the leading role, will be among the at the Grand this evening.

BIG CROOK DRAMA NEXT WEEK AT POLI'S Saturday’s but four performances of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” re- maining of the week’s engagement, theatergoers are reminded that there are but very few remaining seats, the house being practically sold out for btoth performances turday. This remarkable play of rural New Eng- land life has had a notable success at the hands of the Hartford Poli Players. Next week sees another big favorite, “Alias Jimmy Valentine.” Judging from the large number of reservations which have already been made it will be another banner week the Poli stock company. The With all over this country has placed it among the leading ‘‘crook” dramas on the American stage at the present t'me. The intensity of the story, the various charac- ters and the gripping situations which develop during the presentation of the play make it one that strikes at the heart and compels attention and interest. Harry Hollingsworth again assumes a role in which his rare ac- complishments as a dramatic actor will have full play. Miss Bkirvin will be Rose Lane, the daughter of the Lanker who plays such an important part in the reformation of “Jimmy.” Manager Thatcher announces that there will be souvenirs for the ladies at the matinee on Thursday when the first of a series of beautifully colored litho protographs of the Players will be distributed.
