News for Theatre Goers and Wo men Readers MADAME SHERRY,” AT wreeumnext veek| Daily Fashion Talks | A Menu for Tomorrow “Madam Sherry” will be the attrac- tion during the coming week at the Lyceum. The announcement of the enthusiasm and the greatest week in the history of the Lyceum is expected. | In the musical comedy a few weeks 880 the Players showed their ability | in such a play and having so well | demonstrated their talent the man- agement yielded to numerous requests for the presentation of “Madam Sherry,” A largely augmented cast will assist the players in staging this profluction and, as in all attractions, the management will present it with all the requirements for a metropoli- tan engagement. A specially picked chorus will take part in the chorus numbers and there will be additions in the character 'roles. In costumes and scenic effects “Madam Sherry” is one of the most attractive of the stage. Several the- ater parties are being arranged and the management will be greatly aided ; if the arrangements are made in ad- vance so that the accommodations can be made for the camfort and convenience of the party. To miss this attraction will be a disappoint- ment as the opportunity of seeing it so well produced at popular prices such as prevail at the theater may never be experienced again. ““Madam Sherry” has a most enter- taining plot and is full of the most delightful comedy. The “hero”” finds “near-matrimony” a profitable adventure and the audience enjoys it as a laugh provoker. ‘When -the “hero’” springs a ‘ready-made” fam. ily on his credulous uncle he “starts | something.” ~The music is the catchy sort. “Every Little. Movement” and BY MAYiMANTON choice of this attraction has aroused | other songs; sung are popular selec- tions that the public never tires of hearing. The dances are good. “Broadway Jones” will be present- ed Saturday afternaon. Large au- datences enjoy this attraction and find the players excellently cast. 1 PATHE WEEKLY AT | KEENEY’S TONIGHT | i Latest developments in the great Huropean war will be given in plc- torial fashion in the Pathe Weekly, the feature of the motion picture pro- gram tonight at Keeney’s. The press | material sent here fot this week’s re- | view indicates that it will be one of the most interesting series of pictures ! taken in the fighting zone that has been seen by local people. Scenes from the regions in which the great | battles are in progress were caught by the Pathe photographers and they | will be incorporated in the reel which | Keeney’s will feature tonight. There | are some interesting features not con- | nected with the war in the review this : week and the opportunity to see them ; should not be missed. ! Reviewing the ball room dances! that have been introduced in society and on the stage during the past two years, a pair of clever young en- tertainers, styled on the program as Two Girls in Cork, are winning con- | siderable applause at every perform- ! ance. They use snatches-of many of the latest terpsichorean creations, going through the maneuvers of the | many intricate numbers in most graceful fashion. The young ladies also sing entertainingly and besides use some patter that is really amus- ing. The Great Chiyo does some remark- able balancing and foot juggling. Chiya is a celebrated Japanese per- former. He does many wonderful things and makes his act one of the most popular on the bill Bud Snyder and his associates fea- ture thrilling feats on bicycles. Bud’s cycle jumping and acrobatic riding are sensational numbers and they are appreciated by the audience. The singing and dancing of Farrells is of a high order. i i i the The sloping shoulders and Berthas I of Victorian days are here again.

Such a night gown as this one can b¢ utilized for almost every material tha{ is used for such garments. It is very attractive and dainty made from simple batiste or lawn, and- it becomes really luxurious when it is made from crépe d¢ chine. It is perfectly adapted to the | cotton crépe materials that so many {-women like, and if a very warm and cosy gown is wanted for cold nights, the mode can be utilized for the light weight flan- ‘The V-shapec neck means comfort without exposure | and the sleeves can be made in any length that is desired, consequently the one model seems adapted to all seasons. Here however, it is made of batiste. The fronts of the yoke are tucked and trimmed with banding and below the yoke tha own is cut just full enough for real com+ ort. sleeves are finished with bands, but the short sleeves are to be left loose. For the medium size will be required 434 yds. of material 36 in. wide, 4 yds. 44, and 134 yds. of insertion, 133 yds. of ruffling. § g The pattern No. 8577 is cut in three sizes, small 34 or 36, medium 38 or 40, 42 or 44 bust measure.

Empire styles not alone are exceedingly mart, they are almost always oming to girlish figures. This dress can te made of serge as it is in the illus- ration, or from linen, from éponge, or tom other washable material, or 'if pmething still handsomer is wanted, it an be made from poplin or from silk, ;nd in whatever way it is treated, it gives ixtremely smart lines and the newest nes as well. For the simple dress, pockets yill be desirable, but if an afternoons rock of silk is wanted, they would be imitted. There is a three-piece skirt and i perfectly plain blouse that are joined by means of a belt. The high military tollar makes a feature of the Spring, but ater we will want the square neck Ind shorter sleeves, and the suggestion h the small view is a good one for wash- tble materials. Since the frock is closed vith buttons and buttonholes for its intire length, it is one of the sjmplgst | yossible to wash and iron. The trimming | ) contrasting material cut into bands ! iad arranged under the front edges is a ! pood one, but any finish adapted to the material can be used. Braid or banding tould be applied over the front edges or, tou hen serge or gabardine is used, a nar- tower design braided in soutachewould be retty. For washable material, scalloped 2dges would give a good effect. Z For the 16 year size will be required 5 yds. of material 27 in. wide, 3% yds. 36, 14 yds. 44, with 14 yds. any width to { krim with straight bands as illustrated. !

This time, however, the two garments are more | intimately assoclated, as the under one is permanently attached to the upper, is quite as long and frankly shows itself. It is an acknowledged detail of the mise-enscene, so to speak. It is extravagantly fragile, this at- tached petticoat of net, lace or chiffon which peeps from beneath the kem of the sombre-hued, slashed satin skirt. Were it not of a different color it would scarcely be noticed, but it is usually strong in contrast. A Worth creation whose marquisette | veiled bodice is fashioned to a great extent from a black and gold fille ribbon partly brocaded in colors has a box pleated black satin skirt with pet- ticoat of green pleated chiffon. Slashes Reveal Petticoat of Gauze and Gilt. The skirt of another model in black i satiin actually flaunts its petticoat— an affair of black net piped with gold cleth. Shaped to fit smoothly about the hips, this skirt abruptly acquires ful- ness apove the knee, and that width increases to such an amazing extent that the leeway provided at the ankles by slashing it, front and back, into a pair of piping-outlined deep scallops was unnecessary. Nevertheless, it is a clever trimming scheme, for the piped interstices reveal the bright-edged gauzy petticoat most fascinatingly. Ceming or going, it can be distinctly scen, Peticoats permanently. attached to white frocks are even more alluring than when allied with costumes of sombre bue. Moreover, they show themselves more frankl, A case in point is the petticoat of a white taf- feta frock whose skirt is tiered with three turreted flounces reyeal mere- Jy the silk of the overlapped section, but the lower one shows a net petti. coat in white, embroidered with quil gray and gold to correspond with the bayadere sash and the sleeveless jac- ket which are distinctive features of a costume lately gone to join its owner at Bermuda, Treasured Real Lace Brought Forth, ‘White lace petticoats are plentiful. ! And the quality of their mesh is not a matter of doubt. It is genuine. ‘Women do not hesitate to use long- treasured flounces for the lower half of the petticoat to be permanently at- tached to the creamy charmeuse after- noon gown. For they need a touch of frivolity, these tall-collared, long- sleeved gowns, and it is a pleasure to see their indefinitely .draped skirts part near the ankles to show a petti- coat of filmy lace., There is one sort of lace petticoat which should only be adopted by the woman of Tenagra statuette type of figure. It goes under a house gown in white charmeuse whose skirt is-point-slashed from the feet to the knees. Of course this pet- ticoat might veil layers ¥f net or chiffon, but at the sacrifice of its fragile appearance.

The minimum wage question now being agitated sa widely is one of the important themes selected by the dra- matist as the basic material of his play. There is a story of a poor shop-girl who is sent to prison for a crime she does not commit. After her release and a vain endeavor to obtain decent employment, she be- comes the ‘“brains’” of a gang of ‘“crooks” and as their leader carries .on various schemes by which she ob- | tains enormous sums of money, man- | aging always to keep within the pale 1of the law, and snapping her fingers in the face of the police department. One of these ‘“crooks’ comes into possession of a revolver silenced with a Maxim patent mute—this ingenious and terrible weapon wreaks silent havoc throughout the play and be- comes an object of pivotal interest in the theme. How Mary gets her revenge and how in the end “Joe Gar- son,” the bad man—whom everyone loves—is brought to justice, how In- spector Burke closes the talons of the law around the main characters, | and what finally happens to Mary and j her confederates, excites the interest }and curiosity of every theater goer. { i Watch Y¢ See that it leads to tle Store” where you cal fresh Connecticut eggs for : en.

The scenery is by Unitt & Wickes of the Lyceum theater, New York, and the production has been staged by Wil liam J. Wilson, famous for the last five years as general stage director of the New York Hippodrome. A large company appears in the play; the character of the sea rover, “Wolf" Larsen, being impersonated by that sterling actor Charles Dalton of “Sign of the Cross’ fame.
