It three acts with the scenes laid in | Homeville, N. Y. Harum is a | banker in a small way, but also a hotsetrader and it is the latter busi- | ness he likes the besi, while his gen- | uine manner in dealing in horse flesh | might lead one to think that he was | not always on thelevel but he was in | reality a good man with a tender recollection of his little boy who died | at an early age. David, however, did | trick Deacon Perkins into buying a | balky horse and one of the scenes shows the deacon in a rainstorm, the horse standing in the roadway refus- ing to move and he belaboring him | with a whip. Then there is the poor widow who is being driven to the wall by a skinflint who held the mortgage on her home; the school teacher who had been reared in luxury, but who | came to Homeville to earn her living | and be independent, the bank offi- | cials and David’s housekeeper, Aunt Polly. Then there was also the bank, | the balky horse, the barns, grounds | and all those things which give a play atmosphere and make it go well. | Mr. Cross plays Harum in much’ the saine manner as does W. H. Crane who has appeaxed in the title role a | great many times. The character is | different from those Mr. Cross has | been playing, but he mevertheless in- terprets the horse trader very well and shows that beneath the seeming- ly harsh exterior he has a tender heart and is not only honest in every- ; thing but horse trading, but is sym- pathetic and generous. Miss way is the school teacher and R given a hand when she appeared in the opening act. She has made many friends since coming to Britain that her entrance in a play is eagerly awaited., She was excel- | lent in the part and so was Mrs. Hib- | pard as the housekeeper. Miss Bol- ton plays an aged widow this week and well too, and it seems so strange | to see the always lighthearted ingenue | in black, her gray hair peeping from i beneath her hat, her skirt trailing on the stage and in tears instead of laugh- | ter which has generally been her por- | tion since joining the company. Mr. Wright, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Mullin, Mr. Birch, Mr. Sutton, Mr. Ennis and Mr. Leonard were all good in their respective parts and the performance on a whole was very satisfactory. OPERATIC SOPRANO PLEASES AT KEENEY'S| | ! One of the salient features of the | show at Keeney's this week is the work of Lucille Savoy, a dainty oper- | atic soprano, who introduces an inno- vation in the shape of original Par- jsian art posing. She is gifted = with ures AGHT p Parts. VER’S PLAY. hpe Comedy E. 5¢ AND 10c. SON —— Hartford morrow Night. Vednesday) pert Present LEGEN | French Actor, in JHANCES” 5¢c to $1.50; Mat. pn sale.

She represents a most artistic study of visual beauty. A spe- cial set of slides are used to throw the pictures on the screen with Miss Savoy shapely and beautiful, the sub- jects around which the reproductions are worked in the most beautiful col- ors. Probably her best pose is that of a mermaid. Pose after pose was re- ceived with awe by the ‘“first night- ers,” but when Miss Savoy appeared as the beautiful mermaid the audi- ence burst forth in applause of ap- preciation that was most flattering. She possesses a sweet voice which she used in a pleasant manner in the p es. The act is refined from the rise to the fall of thé curtain and the charming Lucille deserves all the good things that can be said of her. “The Parson and the Burglar,” is the title of an extremely interesting dramatic playlet, which introduces to New Britain theatergoers Joseph Al- deman, the popular actor. Mr. Alde- man has ben a successful entertainer for many years and in the vehicle he is mow using he is adding many laurels to his already large collection. In the | and where the | | new W i is in |, | of the late- m Theater | where Formerly a Single Tab Fastened a Jacket Now e There is a Row of Them—New Box Coat Very Attractive. Which shall have place on the new costume for spring, the tab the turret? Of course, it is permissible | to have both, but to use one or the detail makes The charm or others as a distinctive the suit look about the tab is that it may go in any direction, wheras the turret goes up or down, but generally is inverted from the position which it takes architecturally. Tabs appear on the jacket of the t suits at various unexpected places. In former season a single tab s to be found fastening a jacket at its throat, bust or walst. Now it is| not unusual to find a row of them clos- ing a coat from top to hottom, and where one tab formerly sufficed for a sleeve’s wrist a line of them now ex- tends almost to the elbow. Fetching Box Coat from Paris, outlining a jacket’s fronts, give the garment as much ornamentation as it needs, especially if it is one of those new box coats, scarcely covering the waist line, which go so perfectly with the flarring side pleated skirts. Quite themost appeal- ing of the taffeta suis among the late importations from Paris has one of these fascinating skirts, topped by a box coat, whose tab-closed front deco- rative scheme is repeated between the wrists and the elbows on the close- 1y fitted sleeves. Those sleeves are set into low- dropped arm eyves belonging, however, only to the coat’s side sections, which are joined to its back and front by smarter. These fastenings, y Will do toward brea neck, turns backward as a single square. Under the ears the same plan is followed, but beneath the chin the fronts turn away as triangu- lar rever: Turrets on a Green Covert Suit. What turrets—the inverted sort— ing the monotony of a jacket is amazing. Take that familiar model beloved by women who long to ook slender, the hip-length | coat, and slit its basque fronts into ! turrets, beginning at the waist. The result is long lines that make for a slender effect, emphasized by a stitched outline. Callot has adopted | this method in a recently launched model of dark green covert. The coat | is fitted under each arm by three | darts, running to the top of a tri- angular tab at the waist line. But these tabs start half way from the center of a straight back, which is considerably longer than the front. The fronts, closing under low-rolled revers, meet at the waist beneath a double tab-fastened half belt, below which start a pair of broad turrets. The only buttons on this coat are purely ornamental, since they appear as rows of green horn disks, defining the front edges of the side sections of the basque, while the only buttonholes Lelong to a row of buttons on the overlapped left front of the skirt. De- spite the presence of these buttons and slits, the skirt fastens under the overlapped seams at the center of the bac Tt is not full, as skirts go this spring, nor does it look scant, al- theugh its shallow gathers are at the nape of the overlapping seams slanting inward from the shoulders to the waist. On its taffeta model the tab idea is fcllowed in the collar, which, across the sides only. But it is precisely the skirt to wear with the turreted jacket, and one which discriminating women will like. him immensely. He is supported by some capable people. Introducing “Cold, Cold Winter,"” “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Sol- der” and ‘“Twentieth Century Rag,” the Fields Brothers' stock company make its appearance in ‘“The Girl Be- hind the Counter,” a condensed ver- sion of the musical comedy in which Weber and Fields scored one of the biggest hits. The musical program this week is particularly good. The comedy roles are in the capable hands of the Fields brothers and Harr. Jackson, the latter again delineating the Hebrew character. The act should go all during the entire week. The Nelson trio does some interest- | ing stunts on the trapeze, interspersing the acrobatic features with some songs and comedy. The Hearst-Selig weekly shown again this evening. “ST ELMO” WELL GIVEN AT POLI'S will be The perennial favorite, “St. Elmo,’ d on the novel by Augusta Evans | on, is presented this week at | Hartford theater, by the Poli Players with a great deal of skill con- sidering the difticulty of the parts as ayed before an audience in the actress of late-V Tt takes merit to portr heroine and to pre in such a way that it does not become ludicrous through too close a repre- sentation. Yet Marguerite Skirvin, in te part of }2dna Earl, the blacksmith's Qaughter, accomplishes this. To the super-sophisticated matinee girl of the present day the sweet young thing ctorian period whose knowledge of the world was supposed to be represented mostly by the minus sign, is apt to seem humorous. But Miss skirvin, through her naivete, her careful handling of ‘the declamatory parts and her skill, generally is not overdoing the emotionalism of her lices, carries her audience with her through a difficult part and a part which, in some hands, would be the height of humor through its absurd characterization. The parts are well taken. Harry Hollingsworth, as St. Elmo Murray, | the cynic redeemed by the country girl; and Welba Lestina, as Agnes Powell, his cousin, both handle their parts well, particularly the difficult emotional roles. Eveta Francis, as Tabitha, chews gum most delightfully. Forrest Seabury, this time as the darkey servant, is very funny and withal very convincing. Ben MacQuarrie portrays the late- Victorian minister well. Even late- Victorian ministers, however, did not pronounce ‘“duty” “chuty.” The other | parts are well taken, although the ! seconds in the duel seem to take it as an awful matter of course. Go don Leight, who is Roy Phillips, is a very good disappointed lover. i LOCAL TALENT GIVE GOOD SHOW AT FOX'S | an “The made in New Britain” min- | strel act presented by the Y. M. C. A. | minstrels last evening at Fox’s brought to the public notice some local talent that was immensely pleasing. New Britain can boast of having a body of amateur minstrel boys that will compare with any in Connecticut, and the large audience that gathered at Fox's last night to hear them, en- joyed their singing and puns to a marked degree, the boys injecting the role of the parson he is at his best and as such the audience last night liked l spirit of good cheer and fun in the | traction frivolity of the evening’s entertain- ment. The boys are under the di- rection of Philip Molander, to whom much credit is due for the careful handling of the vocal numbers, and his piano accompaniment is deserv. ing of the highest praise. The fol- lowing is a list of those who appeared last evening: Charles Cook, inter- locutor, W. Johnson, J. Blair, J. Ber- tini and H. Jackson, ends, with F. W. Henderson, H. Molander, J. Holm- berg, H. Hoagland. C. Kallgren, R. Campbell, W. Sleath, W. Plude, D. Eliason, W. Klambt and C. Relay, making up the balance of the well organized troupe. The minstrel first part will also be shown tonight for the last time. ““The Daughter of dramatized from the play same name that scored so heavily when presented on Broadway not so very long ago, dealing with the eter- nal struggle between mass and cl and the self-redemption of a man whose God is money was aslo im- mensely enjoyed as the feature at. of the photo-play portion of as well a the two-reel abounding in howls and screams and the Pathe Weekly which showed the recent views from the' theater of war and some import- ant happenings our own country ove ] For tomorrow and Thursday Olga Petrova, the brilliant dramatic zm~! tress, will be seen in the dramatic | sensation, ‘‘The Tigress” as well as the latest chapter of the “Exploi of Elaine,” the serial that you enjoy seeing. the People,” of the the Keystone program, comedy SOME FINE PICTURES AT SCENIC THEATER Manager Hallaby of the Scenic the- ater has arranged a program for day for his patrons the equal of which will be very difficult to find.

In conjunction with ‘“The Dancinz Girl” a two part picture “In the Twi- light,” will be shown, and to bring out a full evening's enjoyment a Keystone comedy, “A Dark Lover's Play,” has been secured. The words “Keystone comedy” are sufficient to evoke laugh- ter and might alone be used as a headliner.

The blouse itself is just a plain one with high neck. The over-portion suggests the bolero idea that is especially adapted to lace or other bordered ma terials. The seams of this over-portion can be sewed in with the blouse to i one garment, or the over portion can be finished scparately and worn or omitted as occasion requires. The high turnc over collar with V-shaped neck is esscr tially smart in combination with the lon sleeves.
