No attraction yet offered by them h accomplished the succe: that has. Providing the brightest scintillating comedy of distinctive Cohan style, a laugh is every utterance. Thae catchy music of “Mary Is a Grand Old Name,” Long Mary” and “Forty-five Minutes from Broadway” is interpolated and it adds to the charm of the entertain- ment, The dances which are also included serve to glve an added in- terest. It is almost impossible to find one who has witnessed the performances given thus far who has not been sreatly pleased. The universal com- ment has been that the production is far the best that the Players hav given, Thursday afternoon there will be a matinee performance. Elks’ night will be observed this evening. Members of the lodge and the friends will be present. The theater <will be draped with a pleasing blend- ' ing of the lodge colors. On last even- ing, when the Chamber of Commerce showed by their attendance in large numbers their endorsement and ap- proval of the munagement and the Players, the .decorations were hand- somely draped flags and seals of the city. Excellent seats are still to be had and may be reserved by tele- phoning to 1369. POLI PLAY DRAWING LARGE AUDIENCES The sensational success which has attended “Alias Jimmy Valentine” is| due, in no small measure, to the-real | characters about whom - Paul Arm- strong wove the story of the reclaim- ing of a safe cracker and through him of his pals. Jimmy Valentine, the]| character in the play had been crack- ing safes because he had learned | nothing else. - When the chance came | to him to leave prison and “go | straight,” he grabbed it. And he made good. The play is being witnessed by large audiences daily and the Poli Players | are scoring individual hits in their presentation of it. Mlanager Thatcher announces that tomorrow -afternoon | will be souvenir day and that colored tures of Harry Hollingsworth, the | leading man, will be distributed to each woman attending. These pic- tures will be contained in covers| which will serve as a binder for the photos of the other favorites which will be distributed later. . The dainty net dresses at Miss Ryan’s, 79 Pratt street, Hartford, are so pretty and so moderate in price that many are buying them not only for dances now but for the affairs in connection with graduation for which they are so appropriate, and for gen- eral summer wear. They begin at $20 and run up into bigger money for the elegant models for dressy day wear. —advt. s T T e “REMEMBER” Here is your only and last opportunity of secing the colossal spectacle that has startled the. world.

Paris, sartorially considér- eq, is working full blast, with Amer- ica as an inspiration for its labors, for, say these people, it is only Amer- icans who buy clothes now. The French do not, nor, surely, do the English. Russians cannot, and Ger- mans—would not. There seems, from the reports of these buyers, to be a predominance of the 1830-'42 fashions, with tight fitting bodice, and zouave flare below, of the Empire effests and more especially of the 1856 full skirted modes. All skirts will be very full and exceedingly short, sometimes reaching ten inches from the ground. The popular colors will be navy blue, beige and soldat blue for street wear. But here is an intercsting differ- ence expressed as to the details of the happenings in the fashion world. A. 12, Harrison of Stein and Blaine, traces to American designers certain changes which have been noticable in Paris modes. “America has exercised a great influbnce, naturally, as it is only for Americans that the suits and gowns have been created,” said Mr. Harrison. “I think our Fashion Fete this win- ter had an influence on French fash- ions, One can see it in the designs of several of the Paris customers. The new-tailleur coat which they are show- ing is but a reproduction of what was originally an American fashiom. Straight effects, and the short coat with the hip fulnes: And tben the prevading air of simplicity. All the suits are simple.” Evening Wear Elaborate. In dresses there is none of this sim- plicity. “Much lace, and much tulle and even muslin, for evening dresses,” explained Morris Weingarten, trying to be calm during the inspection of the custom house offical. ‘“Dresses all in the 1856 style, with many lace ruffles, floating out; the bodice cut square, tending to round. The three-piece suit will be very popular. Some. of them will have the princess dress, with a little bolero jacket. Others wil have longer coats—generally about twelve inches below the waist. “The jackets will be Empire. They ripple from the high waist to full me- dium length. Faille silk, peau de soie, changeable faille and wool and silk gabardine are used in ‘these suits. T could see no influence of American fashion.” The Millitaric Mode Not Lasting. The militarie, that much mooted question, seems still to hang in bal- ance. Mr. Harrison has seen and has purchased some of the military orea- Navy Blue and Biege Are New tions. “The houses in Paris do make them. But I rather thought that was more out of patriotism than actual dic- tation of mode. It seemed more to give an atmosphere to patriotism, which was cheering than to show what women should wear. Nor do I think that American women will take to this fashion. Combinations of blues and reds, bright buttons, abrupt hard lines | and elaborate braiding will not appeal to our women. Naturally the militaire has had its effect. One sees it in the small mili- tary collars, stiff and short, which so many of the suits have. One sees it | in the popular colors, the soldat bleu, khaki and navy blue, which is often combined with buff. The length of the tailleur coat is anything you like it. It may be so short that it is merely an Eton jacket. all just to the hips, with gored fulness. It may extend fifteen inches below the waist, or even beyond the 'skirt's hem. “The militaire is one of 4he few styles which is made for the more ma- tured woman,” explained one ldoy | who had many exciting adventures in- side the lines. “When I looked at cos- tume upon costume, and found them all charming and all exceedingiy | vouthful, T asked myself, ‘What will | the middle aged woman wea But she takes more to the militar lleur thap does the younger woman. The military coat is more often long than | short. And it seems as if the braiding | and the buttons over the bust and the firm lines were more becoming to her than to the young girl. _ ““Dresses are charming. One can see little difference in them which is due to war times. They are not less cheor- ful, th.e_v are not more subdued or con- servative and they are not less color- ful. Black, however, is to be worn very much. h Much lace, chantillies and so forth, will be found in numerous ruffles. Clouds of tulle fall about the figure. | White and gold, combined with blacle satin skirts is charming. Very many ! gowns will display sequins and glitt as brilliantly as did last season’s, ex- cept that the ‘majority of the gowns will be even wider as to skirt than heretofore. ¥ull and billowing, fainty couding with tulle, the brightness of the underskirt, these gowns are youth- ful and graceful. The shortness of the skirts saves them from any ungainli- ness which the great width might otherwise impart. “A few of the gownsare draped. They twine and cling and lengthen in- to trains for this is distinctively the Callot type, which Callot will not give up. Otherwise the gowns are youth- ful, rich enough in variety to afford every woman opportunity for individ- uality, and charmingly colorful. BRAHAM GOOD AS AN IMPERSONATOR Impersonating McKinley, Washing- ten, the Kaiser and other living and dead, Braham, a character entertainer, appearing at this week is presenting an act that is meeting with general approval. His work is of a high standard and it merits the praise it is receiving. Braham is a comedian of national reputation. For years he played im- portant roles under W. H. Crane and since entering vaudeville he has also been highly successful. The act he is now presenting interesting. His facial expression s something to marvel at. He mimics great men, whose faces are familiar to the entire civilized world and his impersonations are so well done that the audience at times is deceived. “The Geeser,” the vehicle used this week by the Fields Brothers Stock company, is easily the most preten- tious number that these popular en- tertainers have used since beginning their long engagement in this city. It is a travesty on ‘“The Geyser,” the celebrated Japanese musical comedy. The same characters are used but are burlesqued, giving the principals big opportunities to play on the risibilities of the audience. Nat Fields as Li Hung Chang is cast most satisfactor- ily. He made a Dutch Chinaman out of this character with a most gratify- ing ecffect. His brother, Sol, is also well cast.

Lina Caval- ieri supported by Lucien Muratore the great French tenor and lyric ac- tor are featured in “Manon Lescaut” a superb production picturized from Abbe Prevost's immortal story of love and adventure produced in six sterling acts and three hundred scenes. The story of ‘“Manon kescaut” has been read the world over, and probably New Britain theatergoers who visit New York have seen it produced at the Metropolitan Opera House = score having been written by no other personage than Jules Massenet ihe popular French composer. As an add- ed feature with the attraction original score of the opera has been secured by the Fox theater organist, Ernest ¥. Jores, and he will play the entire and original music as given by the composer. Besides this wonderful and artistic rhoto-play production the ninth and latest chapter of the “Exploits of Elaine” will also be shown. Todays chapter deals with “The Death Ray" a new plot against the lives of Elaine and Craig Kennedy by the “Clutching Hand” and the way the great detec- | tive uses all his skill to save this pret- ty girl and himself makes interesting scenes. Several single reel comedies are al- 50 on today’s program. The season's classic is due Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. One performance will be given both Friday afternoon and evening, continuous on Saturday and one performance on Sunday night.

The doctor ordered her a hospital as she could not rec proper care in her boarding house She lived some distance from the nearest hospital and to have an ambulance would cost her fifteen dollars. She not absolutely poverty-stricken that is she was not a five dollar-a-week girl, perhaps she made fifteen dollars a week, but even on that it isn’t particularly easy to save and fear of the many expenses of illness made her look carefully to her hoard Besides, she was saving for her trousseau. So instead of taking the am- bulance she drove to the station, took train and then drove to the hqs- pital, The extra exertion was the last st w. She I& on the dangerous list And she needn’t have been, the doctor sa if she could have brought in comfortably. They Didn’t Know and There Was No One to Tell Them. Now here's the point. In the city this time there must have a dozen people who would have been glad to put their automobiles service of this girl for a few hours, if they had only known the need they didn’t know and there was no one to tell them That's the kernel of the whole matter. They would have been willing. But they &dn’'t know. And there was no one to tell them. The world gs full of such miserable little needn’t have been tragedies. And what's mote poignant, vour little neighborhood and little meighborhood are full of them. tell Lutle incidest you a 1« was a been been at the But at my Bringing the Lift and the Need Together. Now my idea of the get-together bureau is this, 'a committeee which people who have things they would give if the need arose-—time, the occasional services of a machine, old magazines, a tumbler of jelly the loan of a library, flowers, the loan of a music machine—in short anythiag no matter how small or how large, could register their willingness to give To that same committee the people who needed something bring their need, and the get-together bureau would put them in with sach other just the way the telephone girl thrusts in a plug and completes a call Perhaps the best part of it all Is that nitely in either class for all time. One might another. For instance a woman might register tumbler of jelly to an invalid occasionaliy and some day have a convalescent child for whom to find an occasional empty in someone's offer the services his auto and some day find and ask the bureau for someone to read to him or made pudding. with could touch defi- need one would put himself give one thing and her willingness the same woman she might the machine man himself and to send no send mig burea i k home- ask Or a Jonely him a seat For day A Big C1 House Kindness. it all putting just be not re- not charity fence the for kindnesses of all gorts Woman's club to take it up or denominational friends side the just plain as the giver one cipient on the other, clearing house Why couldn’t it done?
