They are spec- tacular productions of the, Klein quality. In “Madam Sherry,” the next attrac- tion at the Lyceum, the most gorgeays bill of the season is offered. Beau- tiful music and a fine story is heard. The plat of the piece is much more interesting and logical than the aver- age musical entertainment, and is, therefore, well worth setting forth. The | hero is Edward Sherry, a young stu- dent, who derives his income from an eccentric uncle. The uncle, Theo- philus, has urged Edward to marry and | the latter, in a foolish moment when he desired an extra remittance, wrote | to the uncle that he had married. | This brought the desired check, and sc the young man decided to increase his income by inventing a family. The wealthy relative was advised that two children had blessed the marriage. But this ruse worked too well. The uncle was overwhelmed with | desire ! to see his grandniece and grand- nephew, and so he comes to Edward’s studio. ’ Edward learns of the surprise visit | just in time to arrange with his house- keeper, Kate Woods Fiske, to pose as his wife at the rate of $1 a day. But the housekeeper is already married and her husband, William Evarts, who does not understand the conditions of looms into the plot | from time to time, causing general Having aciuired a wife for a few days, Edward’'s next care is to get two children. Befare he succeeds in his search the uncle arrives. The only thing to do is to press into service the first people who are Lulu and her sweetheart, Leonard.

The inmates of New York correc- tional institutions may nave another chance. Those who are handicapped mentally or physically— and most of them are—may be rehabilitated and made fit for the struggle of life. That the state should forsake its old pri- son ideal of punishment for itne more humane point of view, that of re- formation, is the aim of the Hoff-Mills bill, which is being pushed by - the Woman's Municipal League, and which is to be voted on soon at Albany. The bill provides for a parole poard, whose ! vltimate end will be the rehabilitation of the inmates of the penitentiary and workhouse. Prisons Filled With the Young. “Our prisons and correctional insti- tutions. are filled with mere boys and girls,” explained Mrs. Henry A. Stim- son, president of the Woman's Munci- pal League.. ‘The greater proportion of the inmates are under thirty yvears or age. And at present they are all housed together, the old offenders-and these young ones who are new to crime. They have had so little training most | of them that they are not capable of earning a living. And then, too, many of them suffer from drug habits and from dangerous diseases. I ‘““Under the new system provided for | by the parole bill these individuals w1ill be segregated and put into proper ciassification. The hardened offenders, | for instances, will be put together in | one institution, the younger ones in another. All of those suffering from tuberculosis will be seperated from the , others, that they may receive proper ireatment. The drug users will be sent to a hospital where they may be treated. Those’ who have had trade training will be placed together, and ' those who have had none will be plac- | c¢d where they may recelve instruction. | The feeble-minded, of course, will be segregated from the others. “Under our present %system - the workhouse is an absolutely futile in- stitution,”' Mrs. Stimson declared. “A penal institution should be reforma- | tive, deterrent, and punitive. And the | workhouse has none of these virtues. “The inmates are tnere for such short sentences it is impossible to help them in any w: They are not there long enough to be cured of disease or of drug habits, nor long enough to be taught anything. Consequently, they are turned out in the world again a little worse off than when they enter- | ed the institution, and, of course, they reappear. The institutions losé juris- diction over these people for just time enough to prevent carrying on orderly work. Finger print records kept since | September, 1911, show that over thir- | ty per cent had been committed three | times or more in that time. “You can imagine how expensive to the communtily are these recurrent | commitments. It means more expense to the police department, to the courts, to the institutions themselves. “The Natural Law,” a gripping three-act drama of today, by Charles Sumner, will be the attraction at the Parsons theater, in Hartford, Mon- day evening, beginning a three-day engagement, which will include a With Nance O’Neil, Theda Bara and William E.

Leffler and Bratton. The story has to do prin- | cipally with three characters, Dr. Ralph Webster, Ruth Stanley and | Jack Bowling. Ruth is an artist of promising worth, who upon the death i of her father finds herself in need of that strength of character and sound judgment possessed by Doctor Webster, an old friend of her family. They become engaged and the wed- | ding is to take place in a few montas, | or as soon as Webster returns from ! a business trip to the west. During | his absence Ruth becomes acquaint- ed with Jack Bowling. Webster re- | turns to be confronted with a situa- tion demanding all the employment of his will power in his desire for the complete happiness of Ruth. The cast includes Howard Hall, Carl Eckstrom, Otto Kruger, Austin Webb, Helen Holmes, Teresa Maxwell Conover and Maggle Hallowell Fisher. Raymond Hitchcock, = everybody’s ! favorite, the man of the subterranean , voice and otherwise comic personality, | will be at Parsons’ next Friday and ; Saturday, with a Saturday matinee. Mr. Hitchcock has a new vehicle upon which to disport his engaging pres- ; ence this season. It is called ‘The | Beauty Shop,” a musical comedy from a triumvirate of pens yielded by Channing Pollock, Rennold Wolf and Charles Gebest. Mr, Hitchcock has | been presenting ‘“The Beauty Shop” 'in New York and reports from that city as to the play’s merits are most favorable. The play ran for many months at the Astor theater on Broadway. Cohan & Harris, Hitch- | cock’s managers, have surrounded him with a fine company, which in- and dancing artists.

This means that the individual will be car- ed for until he is cured of disease or of liquor or drug habits, and until he “Under the parole system there will | | is able to be self-supporting. Then he is released but remains under the supervision of the board of parole. The board will help the former inmates get work, and will keep in touch | with them.” the who Stimson, official According to Mrs. stony-hearted prison ' wishes to see the former inmate go wrong and forced to return to prison Goesn’t exist. ‘“Most prison officials want to see the inmates make good ! after they are released ,and they want tc help them get work. Under the present system, she stat- !, ed the penitentiary and workhouse of- fer no inducement to the inmates to discipline and medical authority. ‘‘As a result he now makes no progress in self-gov- ernment. There is little reason why a prisoner should be good in prison. But under the parole system he has every inducement toward working to better himself. i “From the standpoint of public health, too, the system outlined in the Hoff-Mills bell is infinitely better than our present one. Now a magis- trate must state the number of da or months a prisoner must spend in the workhouse or penitentiary. He six months. But record shows that about | half of the inmates suffer from habit- ' forming drugs, and the physiclans say that a year’s treatment is necessary to overcome this evil. Now most sen- tences are too short to do any good. “Under the proposed pian the phsi- cians must certify how long the indi- vidual should be under treatment, and it is not necessary for the magistrate to give a definite sentence. Most of the women in institutions controlled : by the present board or correction—— eighty-five per cent of them to be ex- act—are suffering from contagious blood diseases dangerous to public health, and many of the men from an | equally dangerous disease. TUnder | this law they may be held until they are no longer dangerous.” , Would Save City Millions. Mrs, Stimson took pains to show that the proposed board of parole would not cost a great amount of money, and that in the end it would be a means of saving the city millions of dollars.

The other three members will be appointed by the mayor. “This bill will enable the depart- ment of correction to become ultimate- 1y self-supporting, and will permit the development of definite trades and occupations.” Mrs. Stimson explained. “As Miss Davis has already pointed out, it will render unnecessary the construction of a new Tombs prison or an enlargement of the present con- gestion of the Tombs. It is shockingly overcrowded. When I visited it not long ago I saw eleven women in cells designed for four. Under the propos- ed Dplan this congestion could be re- du_('ed immediately. Then, too, it would reiieve the crowded calendars of the magistrates, the courts, and arrest the prresent increase of police work, And the inmates of institution can be uti- lized for the rehabilitation of the erection of new buildings. In this way the prisoners can earn their mainte- nance cost.”, Prevention Rather Than Punish- ment New Ideal. Another result of establishing the beard of parole would be the economic handing of probatien work. It would permit time for the study of the rec- ords and environment of persons com- niitted to the various institutions. “‘Correctional institutions will become laboratories for the study and preven- tion of crime,” Mrs, sSumson ex. rlained. “This kind of development is al- ready employed in the best correction- ' al institutions both here und abroad. W= women of the Municipal League are very eager for this bill to pass. It Seems to us one of the grmost impor- tance. Tt is time for tH¥ state to real- ize a greater, more fundamental re- sppnsibllity——lhat of the prevention of crime rather than punishment.” CHAPLIN COMEDIES AT FOX’S SUNDAY A motion picture Program of gigan- tic proportions is offered at Fox's for tomorrow night. The multiple reel feature is “One Wonderful Night” in which Francis X. Bushman, winner of the Ladies’ World hero prize and an all star cast of Essaney favorites and featured. It all happened in one wonderful night. The lives of a girl and a man were completely changed and made more happy than ever be- fore. The story is of the gripping and pulsating sort, quick in action and story, the theme carries us through a series of thrilling episodes that will be immensely enjoyed and with Mr. Bushman playing stellar character. Fox patrons are assured of a finished as well as artistic production. Not content with only this big and much in demand attraction, the ment have also arranged for the show- ing of the latest release of the two real Chaplin comedies now being made by the Fssaney studios. Charlies Chaplin, the blue dispeller and grouch chaser will be seen in “The Cham- pion” the latest release, and thirty minutes of joy and hilarity is in store for the Sunday night patrons. Sey- eral single reels will augment the progrgm to the customary perform- ance. Ernest F.

Mr. Boyd received a copy of the ‘song from his brother, who ls in the British army, and recognizing its merit, he decided to use it in his act. The song made a big hit with the audience last evening and several en- cores were demanded. Mr. Boyd be- leves that the number bids fair to succeed “Tipperary” as the battle song of the allies. This song is but one of the numerous features of the , Boyds' act. These people are clever | entertainers and their act goes big every day. They sing well, play a variety of Scotch and Irish instru- ments in pleasing fashion and dance entertainingly. Keeney's offer this week several big acts. Every turn on the bill has con- siderable merit and local vaudeville lovers who have not been to the the- ater this week should be in the audi- ence tonight, when the entertainers close their engagements here. Conspicuous among the turns is the specialty presented by Bud Snyder, a clever cyclist, and his laugh-provok- ing associates, This act is original and is excrutiatingly funny. There is a laugh every second and the fun ! continues from the beginning to the end. . The Great Chiyo furnishes some spectacular balancing and juggling | stunts, Two Girls In Cork do a lively ! bit of dancing and, some creditable singing, interpolating some entertain- ing patter, and The Farrells offer a , diversified singing and dancing spe- cialty. The management has arranged a | ! splendid picture program for tonight and an entertainment of the highest | class is promised. “MAGGIE PEPPER” IS A NOTED PLAY Tt is not often that a stock theater can offer its patrons for the first time in a city a play which has at- tained a great success in the metro- politan cities and on the road, yet Manager James Thatcher of Poll’s Hartford theater has succeeded in securing for its first presentation on any stage in Hartford, Rose Stahl's great success, ‘‘Maggie Pepper.” Either one of two facts would insure the popularity of this play. One is that Miss Stahl appeared in it with great success and the other is that it is the work of Charles Klein, the noted playwright. Mr, Klein has woven a heart inter- est about the central character of this remarkable play. He selected a de- acter and it is a common, ordinary, everyday girl that meets with almost her battle single-handed. producing department will provide an adequate mounting for the play, all | of the scenic and electrical effects having been especially conceived for the play.
