Lois Bolton John Brooks Station Master ....... The piece derives it name from the fact that the scenes are laid in New Rochelle, which is a forty-five min- ute ride on the cars from Broadway and it is claimed that the publicity given the little town as a result of | this musical comedy has attracted | many New Yorkers there, they com- muting every day to and from the big city. Mary says that there are nice people living in New Rochelle but that they are not home much and that she would not mind living there her- self but that she wouldn’'t want 1o eat there. There isn't much of a plot to the piece but what there is tells of the death of a rich man in New Rochelle, who, it was thought, was going to leave all his property to his housemaid, Mary Jane Jenkins, but no will was found and Tom Ben- nett came in for the property as heir- at-law. Mrs. Purdy a resident of the town knew the old man well, played pinochle with him and never ceased to mourn for him, usually to the an- noyance of those about her. Bennett employed Kid Burns, an ex-prize fighter, to act as his secretary and he fell in love with Mary. He had| none of the fine clothes necessary for such a position as his and was presented with a couple of suits which had belonged to the deceased million- aire. In the meantime Daniel Cronin had designs on the property and in- cidentally on Mary until he found she | did not inherit the estate. While searching the pockets of the clothes he wore on one occasion. Burns found the will where the old man had secreted it and Mary became the real owner of the property. The piece is written to amuse more than anything else and it does this in full measure. There is much catchy music and such songs as ‘‘Forty-five Minutes From Broadway,” ‘“The Pop- ular Millionaire,” “Mary’s a Grand Old Name,” and “So Long Mary,” are ren- dered which serve to introduce Miss Callaway and Mr. Cross as singers, they being accompanied by a chorus from New York which was brought on for the week's production. Miss Callaway’s interpretation of Mary does not suffer in comparison with that of Fay Templeton who has been recog- " News for Theatre Goers ahd Women R lGreat Possibilities of Tomato Sauce in Preparing Decorative Dishes Furnishes An Attractive Color and Should Have Chopped Onion, Bay Leaf, Minced Parsley, Cloves, Pep- percorns; Salt and Sugar. The hostess should make the most of the possibilities of tomato jelly in preparing decorative dishes. It fur- nishes an attractive and appropriate color for these occasions, and the pro- cess of making is simple and inex- pensive. ‘Where a bright red but opaque jelly is desired, press cooked mixtare through a sieve just fine enough to hold the seeds. A less opaque and lighter colored jelly is obtainable by allowing the mixture to drop through cheesecloth. This is desirable where anything is to be moulded in thé mix- ture, as objects show to better ad- vantage in a less opaque jelly. For three cups of canned tomatoes allow one small onion chopped, a bhay leaf, a tablespoonful of minced par- sley, six cloves, six peppercorns, three- quarters of a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of sugar. Drain one-half cup of liquid from the tomatoes, and in this soak one-half box of gelatine. Put the other ingredients to boil, and at the end of fifteen minutes stir in the - softened gelatine, and, when strained, the mixture is ready to mould in any desired form. To Garnish the Hors d’GEuvres. To use as a garnish or with other hors d’ceuvres, pour the mixture into a shallow dish previously rinsed in cold water. When thoroughly set, in blocks and pile around a platter of cold meat, each block decorated with a half teaspoonful of mayonnaise. With fish salad serve individual portions of mayonnaise or tartar sauce in a small mould of the red jelly, the center of the mould being removed to form a little cup. If it is to be used with assorted hors d’ceuvres, the jelly may be made a lit- tle more piquant by the addition of tarragon vinegar or a few drops of tabasco. While the mixture is stiffen- ing press in, at intervals, sardines, oysters poached in their own liquor or slices of hard boiled egg. Stamp out in shapes to include one embedded ob- cut | ject in each portion. Ior a party on Washington’'s birthday use a shield cr star cutter and insert a paper aigrette or red, white and blue in each. A salad especially suited to Wash- ington’s birthday is easily arranged by shaping tomato jelly into little balls the size of che es, using a vegetable scoop. Take strong sprays of parsley having two or three stems. Strip off stem in one of the imitation cherries. Place two or three of these clusters on individual portions of lettuce and serve with thin mayonnaise. An apropriate salad to serve any of the patriotic holidays is one in which white is combined with the red jell The salad plate should be blue or white with red, white and blue lace paper doily. Poached oysters thin strips, of celery or white aspara- gus tips are excellent in combination with tomato jelly, and carry out the desired color scheme. Patriotic Salads. Oyster salad with tomato jelly should be prepared as near the timc of serving as possible. Poach small their own liquor, and chill. Coat the inside of mould with a thin layer of ovsters. This makes showing when jelly is reversed on Tving plate. Garnish with larger poached oysters and drop a dot thick tomato catsup on each oyster. To make celery and tomato. jelly fold into the stiffening jelly a cupful of matchlike strips of crisp white cel- ery and use similar strips for decor- ating the mould. Serve with mayon- naise strewn with stars and stamped with pimento. An individual salad especially suited for Washington’s birthday consists of tomato jelly moulded in after dinner coffee cups. Decorate the top of each little mound of jelly with the curved end cut from the white of a hard boiled egg, and stick in the top of this an attractive fashioned dark blue plate. MANY POPULAR ACTS ON KEENEY’S BILL “Curse ou Jack Dalton,” a novel travesty on the “movies” which had a big run in New York and is now on its initial road tour, is one of the popular acts at Keeney's this week. It is presented by Jack Bornholt, who for years played successful parts in “legitimate” productions and if the reception given him by ‘“first night- ers” is to he counted as important, he is assured 'of a very pleasing week. Mr. Bornholt appears as a part of a ‘“movie” four-act drama. He plays the principal role in the piece him. self, the pictures supplying the other characters. There is remarkable unity about the work and one won- ders at times whether the whole bus- iness is done on the screen ar by liv- ing performers before them. From a standpoint of novelty alone the acts stand out conspicuously and it should find favor wherever it is given. Character impersonations of George Washington, McKinley, the Kaiser and other notables, living and dead, as well as creatures of the immagination nized as one of the great comediennes of the stage. Miss Callaway plays it more happily, seemingly enjoying-the epigrams which so pleases the audi- ence; her comedy is good and she in- jects enough vivacity into it to make it a clever piece of work. Mr. Cross made a very good Kid Burns, his dic lect was well drawn and adhered so strictly to the demands of the char- acter as to make a decidedly good im- pression. Mrs. Hibbard created many laughs with her sorrow for poor old Mr. Castleton who was such a good man but who neglected to pay her $3.50 which he owed her. Mr. Birch Mr. Wright, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Sutton, Natalie Perry and Miss Bolton, all have good parts and contribute tow- ards the success of the piece. NEW BRIGADIER GENERAL, Paris, Feb. 23.—Colonel Marchand of Fashoda fame has been promoted to the rank of brigadier general. He retired from the army some time ago, but offered his services at the out- break of hostilities and was appointed a colonel, the rank he held upon his retirement. He has distinguished himself several times upon the fleld. SCENIC TODAY “The Girl of the Golden West” in 5 reels. “MASTER KEY” Series 11th. “THE SPEED KING” 2 reels—and comedies.

Braham is now in vau- deville giving character studies and he is very successful. His work is cleverly done and last night's au- dience liked it immensely. ‘The Geeser,” a burlesque on the famous Japanese opera, “The Geyser," is the offering this week of the Fields Brothers Stack company, who still the headline atgraction. This company has been at Keeney's for seven weeks and it is now more pop- ular than at any time since its ad- vent in this city. The Fields and their associates are giving a most amusing piece this week. There is a laugh in every line of the dialogue and the company has big opportuni- ties to show its worth. Both Nat and Sol Fields show up well and Harry Jackson also takes advan- tage of the chances given him. The song numbers are up to the min_ ute. Harry I.e Vall, an aerial acrobat and poser, opens the show. Harry does some good tricks on the rings and his work wins cansiderable ap- plause. are POLI PATRONS LIKE “JIMMY VALENTINE” “Jimmy Valentine”” got across last night in Hartford. The Poli Stock company is a good one. Without be- ing old fashioned, it has enough of the old fashioned spirit to put over a melodrama in true melodramatic fa- shion. All the thrills were there and who cared if some of the situa- tions scemed a trifle overdone? The production, which will be at Poli’s all this week, is an excellent one. The staging is perfect. Harry Hollingsworth as ILee Randall, alias Jimmy Valentine, was as good a Jim- my as we have seen in a long time. His acting in the scene with Doyle in ! the bank was a good piece of work. John Flls, as Detective Doyle, was as thoroughly de- testable as any detective villain, and s0 extraordinarily good. himself disliked by the audience. he was only surpassed by Ben McQuarrie as the warden of Sing Sing. Of the galaxy of crooks that pursued their gradually straightening way through the play, the laurels are divided be- tween Roy Phillips, for his rendition of Jimmie's pal, Red Jocelyn, anad Hal Briggs as Dick, the Rat, a sneak thief. R. J. Fagan, as a forger and Forrest Seabury, as an old offender, should not be overlooked because of the Jess sensational parts which they played. Their work was good sound stuff. The woman of the cast were per- haps a bit unconvincing. This is be- cause they play a very small part in the story. It is a man’s play, to start with, but if there is a weakness in it, it is in the character of Rose Lane, the heroine. Marguerite Skirvin did her best to make an unconvincing part convincing. For this she deserve! much credit, but the heroine's part in this play is too obviously a mere prop for the best actress in the worla to do much with it. “Jimmy Valentine” is to be fol- lowed next week by another good old melodrama—older far than “Jimmy Valentine,” but of the same whole~ some sort—Augusta J. Evans’ “St. El- mo,” that romantic near-tragedy of southern ante-bellum life that stirred the emotions of three genera- tions. LEW FIELDS, IN “OLD DUTCH,” FOX'S | One of the funniest multiple reel comedies ever presented locally was shown yesterday at Fox's, the popular motion picture resort in the premier screen presentation of Lew Fields in “Old Dutch.” A capable cast of Shubert principals give excellent support to Lew Fields, prominent among them being Vi n Martin re- membered here for her excellent work in “The Wishing Ring,” George Has- sell, Charles Judels and Chester Barnett. Lew Fields proves himself to be a worthy addition to the of the silent drama. Situations are capably handled, and there is not a trick known to the profession that Lew Tields does not take advantage of, and in which he injects that orig- inal comedy bits that are veritable howls. This production will be shown tonight for the last time, angmented by “The Pathe News” that much read periodical depicting all impor- tant happenings our own country over as well as the latest views from the theater of war., Sevcrai single reel comedies are also slated to be shown. A feature film production that is noted for its sensationalism and dramatic interest comes tomorrow and Thursday in the showing of “Ma- non Lescaut,” Abe Prebost's immortal story of love and adventure. In this production that has played only in the higher priced theaters the incom- parable “Cavalieri,”” the world’s most famous beauty and Lucien Muratore, the great Irench tenor and Lyrie actor are featured. “Manon Lescaut” is picturized in six sterling acts, 300 people and 300 superb scenes includ- ing noblemen, prison guards, soldie peasants, servants, lords, ladies of the court, etc., and it follows closely he story of the book and opera of he samec name. Besides “Manon Lescaut,” the ninth and latest chap- ter of “The Exploits of Elaine” the ‘serijll story that you are following | each week will also be shown. the leaves and insert the end of each ' POV dered 1 tract, i on | with oysters from three to five minutes in | of | a tiny American flag.

MILITARY SHOW COMING TO FOX'S At a time when this country is thinking of the terrible conditions that are existing in Europe, it should interest all to sce how battles were fought in the third century, B. C.. In “Cabiria,” which is to be shown at the Fox theater, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night there are many battles which for ferocity and des- peration thrill the beholders with mingled awe and horror. There is the destruction of the Roman fleet, which is realistic beyond description. The hips are burned to the water's edge, sinking one after another and death is dealt out unsparingly. Hannibal's crossing of the Alps is wonderfully impressive as a military achievement. This operation is said to be one of the greatest of all times. It is interesting to contemplate tha enormous material he availed him- self in that memorable attempt to penetrate the very heart of the Rou- an Empire. Men and animals were sacrificed in large numbers crossing ten thousand soldiers. ‘abiria” is the most beautiful specimen of motion photography ever produced. Regarding merely as a work of art it is alone worthy of inspection irre- spective of its dramatic and spectac- ular propertics. Parts of the film are made stereoscopic, that is to say, they have all the appearance and solidity and relief of the original subject. They i look real, so real that they have depth and solidity to a degree heretofore not shown in motion pictures. “THE VIRGINIAN" AT SCENIC THEATER In jts original dramatic form, “The of the Golden West,” was writ- ten by David Belasco, the wizard of the theatrical world, and was pre- sented under his management for many thousands of performances. It is now, for the first time, ta be seen on the een, presented by ] Lask sociation with Mr. Great crowds ited the Scenic yes- terday to see this play depicted on the reen. It will be given again today, afternoon and evening. Besides ‘‘The Girl of the Golden West,” there will be the Keystone comedy and the Mutual Program, four reels. Manager Halliby s these are all good pictures and rons to the Scenic will be greatly pleased with the entire program. To- morrow and Wednesday ‘“The Virgin- ian” will be shown.
