The musical numbers were splendidly rendered. Miss Emsy 1 Alton, who heads the singers this week, was presented with a huge bouquet of flowers during the evening and ‘tae regular members of the com- pany were given pleasant receptior as they appeared. Mr. Birch was made the recipient of much applause for his fine character work. The | settings were beautiful, the final scene showing the yacht Yvonne at night with: the ever famous Coney Island in the distance being very pretty. This is the cast of the play: Lulu, an actress and dancer (Ed- ward’s sweetheart)....Emsy Alton Catherine, Edward’s housekeeper (Phillippe’s wife) .Adelaide Hibbard Phillippe, janitor (husband of Catherine) . x «..L. J. Fuller Edward Sherry, a New York man about town, a nephew of Theophilus Sherry....Alfred Cross Leonard Gomez, son of the presi- dent of Venezuela...Frafk Wright Pepita, Leonard’s sweetheart ceee +.+.s.Lois Bolton Yvonne ‘Sherry, the convent girl (niece of Theophilus Sherry)... Bradie b ke ..Emily Callaway Theophilus Sherry, a millionaire - connoisseur of Gre#k art Hector, head steward on the yacht “Yvonne” .. Fred Sutton Millionaire Enthusiasts in Aesthetic Dancing. There isn’'t any plot to the comedy except that Edward Sherry palms off his housekeeper as his wife to the intense annoyance of that lady’s hus- band and also represents Leonard | Gomez and Lulu as his children, all for the purpose of deceiving nis uncle, Theophilus Sherry, who comes on a visit with Yvonne Sherry, a convent girl very innocent and with no knowl- edge of the world or its customs. The cemedy - is purely musical, in which mostly all the company participate in solos, the music being decidedly catchy, particularly “Every Little Movement,” which was hummed by the audience as the orchestra played. Miss Alton, who made. her initial ap- pearance in New Britain last evening, sings very well and was graceful in her dances and so was Miss Callaway, who splendidly played the demure convent girl and who was especially good in her tipsy song, for which she was generously encored. Mr. Cross, Mr, Wright and Mr. Fuller were good as always in thelr respective parts and. Miss Bolton was as lively as a cricket as “Pepita,” who did not like to see her lover receive so much at- tention from ‘“Lulu.” Mrs. Hibbard Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY MANTON 8571-A Two-Piece Skirt, 24 to 34 waist.

MARGARET SKIRVIN PLEASES AT POLI'S It is doubtful if another play will be found that will so completely ex- hibit the personality and ability of Margaret Skirvin, leading woman of the Poli Stock company, as ‘“Maggie Pepper,” presented at Poli's Hartford was just as good as she could be in her green gown and a bow of the same color in her 'hair, and Mr. Birch was very clever as “Theophilus.” The performance was Vvery good all through, the chorus acceptable, the encores numerous and the big audi- ence was delighted, Natlve eggs 27c doz. —advt, “THE BEAUTY SHOP” Russell Bry PARSONS’ THIS WEEK Raymond Hitchcock and his famous aggregation of fun-makers, frivolous, frolicking beauty chorus of Hartford on Friday and Saturday, with a matinee Saturday.

Welba Lestina, as Ethel argen, to whom Joe Holbrook was engaged and with whom he broke the engagement, was convincing and earn- est, and Roy Phillips, as Jake Boths- child, the Jewish tailor, provoked frequent bursts of laughter by his ex- cellent comedy.

TROUPE OF DANCERS GOOD AT KEENEY’S Probably one of the prettiest, as well as entertaining acts that Keeney patrons have seen this season, is playing at the theater this week. It s provided by the Royal Cabaret company, a troupe of dancers of ex- ceptional ability The four tango whirlwinds introduced in the act are remarkably clever. They display the latest ballroom numbers in pleasing fashion and also do some fancy danc- ing that is of a high order. The troupe carries an orchestra of four pieces and the musical features of the act are of high merit. The scenery and electrical effects are the most elaborate ever seen here. No expense wa pared in staging the act the scenic accessories enhance value greatly. | Nine Jolly Juveniles, bevy of voung girls, whose ages range from ten to sixteen years, present an in- teresting number.

It seems as if the passerby cast the shadow of his personality on his friend’s face and if you 100k quickly encugh, in that tiny moment after the friend has passed out of sight and before the expression has ' dled you can see the effect that personality has For instance, as I sit in the trolley car I see the woman opposite bow to someone who passes down the aisle out of sight The woman opposite mie does not know that anyone is watching her and so she is utterly unself- corscious and the expression that lingers on her face after the friend has passed tells me, to some extent, what she thinks of the friend. The Smile That Lingers, Perhaps the smile with which che greeted her lingers on. It is a ples ant smile, almost tender, and thus I know that the friend who passed was someone who could inspire such genuine liking. Sometimes the smile does not linger an instant. It is a mere contrac- tion of the mouth and does not touch the eyes (the seat of real =miles) It snaps on and off as if it were worked by a switch and its vwner were economical of smile eleciricity. Then one knows that one of two things is true. Either the acquaintanceship is so formal as to require onty that kind of an acknowledgment or the person to whom it is given is not really liked The Pat-Oneself-on-the-Back Smile. Sometimes the smile of greeting passes into a sort of self-congratulatory smile. Now and then I surprise this kind of a smile on a man’s face after he has greeted a woman and I suspect that he is reflecting on how deeply <he admires him. Or perhaps the pat-oneself-on-the-back smile is on a woman's face after she has greeted some other woman. Then it probably means pleasure at recognition from some social superior Ioxpression is the index of the soul. Controlled expression but not the unself-conscious expression. That is why I like to such glimpses and try to understand and translate them. Questions and Answers. Question—When a couple are going to be married who should buy the household furniture, the man or the woman? Reply—I believe the formal rule is that the woman buys the linen, the man the furniture. As a matter of fact the average young couple gather their furniture from the four corners of the world. The girl's family often cives her the bedroom furniture she has had at home and the groom’s family contribute what thew can spart. Then of course there are the wedding Presents. As a girl once told me with surprising frankness: “I didn’t care about having all these people but you know we need the wedding presents 1o help furnish.” Question—My children bring home their books to study in tne fourth ond fifth grades.
