THE CIRCUS 20, 30, Goc, |LYCEUM PLAYERS | IN COHAN SUCCESS The Lyceum Players will open the weelk's engagement this evening in George Cohan’s great success: *The Man Who Owns Broadway.” The fine music and bright comedy are the Cohan kind—a kind that many have tried to imitate but the public has Giscerned as wanting in the Cohan touch. Raymond Hitcheock scored his most successful tour in this attrac- | tion. Every evening this week, and ! Tuesda. Thursday and Saturday af- ! ternoons, the Players will be greeted with capacity audiences. The popu- larity of the attraction s well known and the ability of the players to pro- duce musical comedy has been well demonstrated. This week Miss Call- way has a very popular number in “I'm in Love With One of the Stars.” Miss Bolton and Mr. Birch will be heard in “I’ll go the Route for You,” and they will dance. Mr. Cross, in the title role, will sing “I'm the Man Who Owns Broadway.” Mr. Wright will | sing “Love Will Make or. Break 2 Man.” The chorus numbers are especially good and the dances are | very attractive. The management lins secured a chorus of twelve from New York to participate in the pre- sentation. The chorus will introduce a distinct Parisian novelty by appear- ing in'a number wearg Wwigs to match their costumes. The settings for this production are very attractive and the staging will be complete in all its details. In this production the management is offer- ing one og the biggest hits of years and if the patrons show by attendance this week as they have in two previous musical attractions that this is the kind of attractions that is wanted ar- rangements will be made to give them more frequently. SMELL OF SAWDUST IS ON THE POLI PLAY “The real smell of the sawdust” is an old circus expression that show- men have used for vears in describing a tent show and that same expresion aptly deseribed “Polly of the Circus” the Margaret Mayo comedy drama in which the Poli Players appear all this week in Hartford with the usual matinees and evening performances daily. Manager Thatcher has preserved all the pretentiousness of the circus fea- tures .and has conceived several novelties 'of his own which will be shown. The lobby of the theater will resemble the “paths” through the tents of a circus so; patrons will, as Rev. “Billy” Sunday might say, “hit the sawdust trail when they enter | the | the theater. The cages ~with “snimals” will be there and all of these features will be free to all. The barker will not be absent nor will a freak or two to add to the naturalness of the scene and create the proper at- mosphere which should prevail before the curtain rises on the first act. The story of the play is a familiar one. Miss Skirvin will, of course, play the name part and those who have come to admire her art, anticl- pate an exceptionally pleasing pre- sentation of the role twhich has been such a dramatic success. Mr. Hol- lingsworth will play the mmister ard again his friends look for another de- lightful character reading by the popular leading man. WILLIAM HODGE AT PARSONS’ TONIGHT One of the most delightful treats of the present theatrical season was the recent engagement at the Parsons theater, Hartford of William Hodge in “The Road to Happlness.” So pro- nounced was the enjoyment of the big audiences then that the management has worked hard to secure a return visit of this unique star In this de- lightful “comedy of cheerfulness.” It will be seen in Hartford tonight and Tuesday and those playgoers who raigsed its charm and merriment on the previous occasion will surely avail themselves of this forthcoming chance to travel this real path of sunshine end smiles with the inimitable Hodge along this footlight “Road to Happi- ness,"” There are some vocations where it is impossible to make good if your netion were always guided, first of ail, hy anxiety for your personal safety. This is illustrated by scenes photo- graphed within ‘a few feect of the biggest guns of the latest naught firing “salvos.”” However serenc and maljestic these mighty im- plements look when silent, they in- spire » profound awe ana fear when standing alongside of them at the moment when they hur! their pon- derous shells for miles and miles. 1 The peril is intensified when It is re- memberad that if a delicate little spring broko in the mechanism; or if the rifle barrel refused to accommo- date a shell; or if a trunnton became rusted; or if a weak powder bag broke scattering a grain or two of powder; or if there is a “flare back,” 1 a “miss fire” or “hang fire;"” he nor anyone else would live to tell the tale in pietures or any other way. But it was only by venturing where others “fear to tread” that many of the scenes could be photographed which will be presented by Lyman H. Howe at Parsons on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, showing for the first time in naval history, the complete repro- duction of life in our new navy in every phase. 1 13§ yds. 44, for jacket and trouser: or eatre Walking Costumes of Ideal Type To Be Seen Upon Streets This Spring They Are of Frock Style Which éo As One Piece, But Look Like Jacket and Skirt — Former Jaunty and Appealing, With erately the arrival of spring’s mod- simultancously streets mild will walking days, upon the ideal suits which o there appear costumes of an type. These are the frock on as one piece, but nearly always look like a jacket and skirt. The Jjackets are jaunty and appealing, and usually carry the embroidery, stitchery or braid used to make the costume elaborate But rarely is this garnishing in startling contrast. On a marine blue frock the red embroidery will be in the darkest tone of that color, the stitchery in dullest silver or the braided design in black. So few as to be remarkable are the suit frocks carrying self-toned braids. In fact these are secen chiefly among the advance models in whites, in biscuits and pale grays, and in certain sandy shades—those guiltless of a greenish hue—which have survived last winter's craze. In sand colored gabardine Drecoll has launched a frock suit caleulated to induce any girl to reconsider her hasty taboo of that overworked shade. Bolcro Embrojdered With Braid and Buttons, Its bolero, heavily embroidered with floss and braid in self-tone, separates over a deeply pointed, hip long waist- coat carrying a double row of tiniest buttons in white. Gabardine covered buttons of goodly size trim but do not make a pretence of fastening the jacket. and slightly smaller replicas of these buttons are on the narrow sleeves fitted to arm-eyes whose tops are overlapped by elaborately em- broidered revers of so broad and Square a type that they dominate the fronts of the bolero. The back extends below the waist line into a solidly embroidered long- pointed postillion, dropping flatly upon a skirt whose front and sides only are covered with an overdress. This section, full gathered under the deeply pbinted walstcoat of the hodice, is exceptionally flaring, and at its edge Is trimmed with rows of fine braid- ing. At front center it covers the hem of the underdress, but at the sides is several inches shorter, looking though it intended to become still more short across the back, whereas it simply runs into the seams of that gore. A girdle with embroidered short ends, loosely knotted at the left e, and a tall stock in satin give the French “black’” touch to this costume. and cleverly applied to a frock suit, give to it an air of distinction wholly out of proportation to the amount of glistening material used. The simpler the costume the more effective are these touches they are too insignifi- cant to be called trimmings. Almost severe in its plainness is a model in darkest blue silk gabardine. square necked bodice is shirred at the waist line and edged at front and | one quart of sifted flour and one-haif | abomt excessively wide arm-eves with | of a teaspoonful of the narrowest of satin match the vest. The blousing bolero is crgssed at the back of the neck by a turnecd-over tall white satin collar, from whose corners depend tiny tassels in silver. Rhinestone centered. silver huttons fasten the life side of a crush girdle in satin partly drawn of a circular skirt. whose deep hem pipings to in chiffon is headed with a side pleat- | ed satin band. Another band of chiffon, edged top and bottom with narrow side pleated satin bands ap- plied near knees shortens the effect of the skirt and break its monotony of line. Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY§{MANTON 8612 Boy's Suit, 4 to 8 years. Boys’ suits are_unusually attractive this Spring, for while they are essentially boy-like, they are so treated that they are relieved of over-severity and give' some- thing of the picturesque effect that is so prevalent in this season’s fashions. Here 1s one with jacket, trousers and blouse. In the picture, the jacket and the trousers are made of serge and the blouse is made of fine white lawn, but such a suit can be made of linen or of galatea or from cotton poplin to be adapted to every day wear and to warm weather, it can be made from the heavy silks for the more dressy occasions, or from white serge, and the like to be admirable for every day Spring n The blouse pre- ferably will be made of a soft w. able material. It is finished with rolled-over collar and with cuffs that are turned up over the sleeves of the L;\ckc: and the edges of the jacket are uttoned into piace beneath those of the bax plait.

In this production she has a role that presénts a win- ning personality in no less harmon- ious surroundings. “Pet” is a young woman capable of Kissing a man or a baby with equal frankness. But for all her lack of sophistication she has dependable femininc instincts that lead her to dislike her quite impossi- ble aunt with whom she is forced to live.

HARTFORD’S MOST SIMPLY SAY" HELPFUL STORE “CHARGE IT. 687-695 MAIN STREET, ; HARTFORD An Egotistical Tale I'm going to be very egotistical and tell you a story about myself today. P The reason I do it is because I think it may also be a story about your- self and as it has a happy ending which I've reached and you may not have, it may make you read your story with a more optimistic eye. Four months ago today I went to the place which was to be my home for the winter. Homesickness, the Seasickness of the Heart, ' I don't think I was ever more unhappy in my life. In the first place I svas homesick and anyone who has ever had that seasickness of the heart knows how it makes yvour blood feel like dishwater and your heart like something rather heavier than lead, In the second place my new home presented problems which the homesickness helped make me mentally unable to face. I was on the-verge of tears about half the time and over the verge about a quarter. ‘ I didn’t see way I ever came and never would have stayed if I hadn': had to. Five months looked like an eternity to me, T used to turn over the leaves on the calendar and look longingly at the month marked April and wonder if it would ever come, and positively ache with longing to have the power to tear the intervening months off the calendar and out of my life, I would certainly have given a year of my life for that power. Just Between You and Me. That-was four months ago. To-day 1 am getting ready to leave my winter home., Am I as wildly happy as I thought I would be when I looked anead on the calendar No, reader friend, I'll confess to you some- thing I wouldn’t tell to all my perssonal friends. I'm agtually rather sorry. ¥ It all came about very gradually, the disappearance of the homesick- ness, the adjustment of the problems, the forgetting of the calendar, and the growth of happiness. I scarcely realized it had happened until I found myself looking forward to what I once longed for and looking for- ward to it without zest, Four months ago if’ anyone had told me I would feel would have laughed at him, Yet it would have been true. Perhaps you, reader friend, would laugh at anyone who told you you would gradually come to find happiness in the conditions that now de- press you. Your case is different you say? Ah, my friend; I once thought mine was, several feel unexpected physically amd this way I Questions and Answers, Question: There arc people T know who do not pay bilhs, dressmakers’ bills, ete., vet will give to church, to Belgians, to all sorts of charities, and yet evade the law #£o as not to pay their honest debts.
