The players . - have cau;ht the spirit of the action and take a'keen enjoyment®out ‘of the tuneful music and fine comedy. The dance numbers are being successfully ‘practiced. The success of the com- pany in its productions ‘lies largely in the enthusiasm with which . the company enters.into their characters and the Lyceum Players are so tal- ented that they produce all kinds of | plays 'to the, complete sasisfaction of | the' patrons. 'As next week will l)ei Trade in New Britain Week the op- portunity is presented to show ap- preciation of the work of this fine company' Get your tickets early.

The burlesque on ‘The “Hscape” 'and the novelty parquet visit of the entire.company at the ena of the 'second act are proving popu- lar features. There will'be a matinee Saturday'afternoon. v . FINE PICTURE BILL AT LYCEUM SUNDAY The management of the Lyceum offers another all-star programme of motion picture features for Sunday. evening. In this programme the pa- trons are assured of first run pictures such as were shown last Sunday eve- ning and drew a capacity attendance. Francis. Bushman, that popular ro- mantic screen artist, willsbe'seen. in a gleat three reel sensation entitled “Black and White in the Glare of the Lights.” This series of photo-drama is just now being completed for the first runs on Sunday evening. The fact | that it is an Essanay production is | guarantee that it is the last word in motion picture making. Another great three reel run that i entire home up to this 'Fashion Now Calls for Bla(‘k The modern home of the tempera- mental woman is swathed in black, One threads upoh black carpets, the hand draws aside black ' araperies; bLlack table linen sets off the rlate; black satin sheets ure milady’s bed chamber; black silk jamas, embroidered in purple, are thrown over the ebony footpoard; and if not already on the verge of tears | the (visitor may rock in a black up- holstered rocker while the eyes r(‘sty uvpon the only cheerful note, which is to be found in the gold tracery on the | Llack wall paper.

The plain black moire is used to throw into relief beautiful panels with a vivid peacock resting on a branch surrounded by roses and | vellow and lavender wistaria. The | moulding that goes with the panel is gold, or follows one of tne peacock shades. The ceiling is tinted in like cclor. These panels are hand printed, anrd are, without doubt, the most unique offerings of wall paperdom. The peacock patterns is on a plain black background. On a moire back- ground there are bunches of shaded roses and lavender flower sprays, out- lined by a distinet plaid of blue morn- ing glories and vines. A plain black background has an Arras embroidery pattern in conven- tionalized fringed dahlias and gourds, | in pink, lavender and ola plue, on the branching vines. A Chinese lantern pattern on a well covered black back- ground has the gay colored lantern swinging in the gray lattice 'mid pink | iotus blossoms, gay poppies, asters, | purple orchids, cherry blossoms and | lobelia blooms. is offered is the sensational production of “The Enemies.” The elements of thrilling action are powerfully brought out in this picture and it contains a well connected story. The Vitagraph company produced it. For comedy there will be shown two big reels. “His Night Out” is a series of ineci- dents following in rapid succession and provokes roars of laughters. An- other great laugh-maker is offered in the series entitled “In His Boarding House.” The comedies are Biograph productions. The Lyceum is the place to see the plctures, GREAT ADELPHIA KEENEY'S BIG CARD Standing in the orchestra pit in full view of the audience, The Great Adel- phia performs his famous $10,000 mystery at every performance at Keeney's this week. His act is the most sensational that 'has been seen here in a long time and it makes a big hit every day. He has a serles of tricks that baffle the patrons of the theater, several of whom have at- tempted to expose. him in response to his invitation. His disappearing canary trick is undoubtedly one of the most clever that has been used by any magician appearing in this city. It has been the talk of the town for days. Another act that is meeting with general favor is the song and dance specialty presented by Billy Johnson's cabarét troupe. There are eight young people in this aggregation. Every one of them is a singer and dancer of abllity. A program of the latest song hits and several up-to- date dances are introduced during the act, Two clever comediennes are the Langweed sisters, They have a novel act and it is decidedly entertaining. The comedy features of the act are of a high order. Spectacular acrobatic feats, intro- duced by the Loge troupe, prove to be another big feature of this week's show. This collection of tumblers do & number of astounding tricks. Jack Marks, the diminutive English comedian, has a monologue that is very amusing. An entertaining motion picture pro- gram is promised for tonight. ' HORLICK’S | The Original MALTED MILK Unloess you say “HORLICK'’S” m a Substitute, The Chinese Chippendale is in Per- | sian coloring on a plain black ground, the trellises done in fawn color, en- twined with purple wistarfa. On a Cead hlack the famous Adams design is carried out'in gold. The familiar | disks, oblongs and Phoenix figures are intertwined with the conventional tiower vine shown so often in inlaid woodwork. A gorgeous pattern, designed for hall use, is on a plain black back- ground, with a gold conventionalized | forestry design. A large peacock stands on the square post, of a castle wall, deer are grazing around its base, | trees at the side form with their | Lranches and trunks the shadowy | circle that completes the design, which repeats itself about every four feet. ! A magple and poppy design in black DIVORCE QUESTION NEXT WEEK AT POLI’S’ i | | | | The advance sale of seats for the remaining performances of “Polly of the Circus,” in which the Hartford Poli Players are appearing this week, | indicates a continuance of the ca- | pacity audiences which have been at- tending tais play twice daily. The | novel features which Manager Thatch- | er has introduced have proven \-m’y' popular and have caused no end of | comment about the city and the ! lobby display has proven one of the most unique that Hartford theater- | goers have ever seen. 1 tional play, “The Divorce | Question,” in which the players ap- pear next week, has caused more ser- mons to be preached than any other play of modern times. The theme of the play is an argument against di- vorce laws, as they exist today, the main idea being that the next gener: tion must be considered in laws en- acted by the present generation. The story of the play shows the pathetic side of life wherein divorce has been adopted as the legal means of mar ing again and wherein two children are sacrificed to the selfishness of the new moral code. The depths to which they fall seems more terrible when the minister produces statistics {to show that they are but two of more than a million and a half peo- ple who are placed in similar jeopardy by the same cause, The remorse of the parents upon seeing tie result of their actions also becomes pitiful but their selfish idea of life prevents them | from undoing what they have donc until, when almost too late, they sec | the enormity of their ense and | through the efforts of the priest strive | to save the remnants of their flesh and blood. “What becomes of the children” is answered in “The DI- vorce Question” Poli theater- | goers will for first time just ) what it mcuans. | and | bird | in black, | the plam blouse is frilled only at the lower | back ground, but the model is a good one Modern Home of Temperamental Woman Is Now Swathed in Black Carpets, Draperies, Table Linen, Bed Sheets and Even Black Upholstered Rockers. on . a white ground is quite cheerful by comparison The rests upon the vines, and drowsy poppies, some drooping, in bud and some in full blossom, a particularly graceful pattern Lirds are frequent enough, and in different positions to rive though the pattern is one and not a repeat.

William Far- num, remembered here for his most rtistic work in “The Gilded Fool,” Samson” and “The Spoilers” plays the leading character of Philip Mor- row and upported by a cast of screen sta never bhefore seen to- gether in any production. The story deals with Philip Morrow, a wealthy young planter, of Morrow’s Rest, has grown to man- hood, in the belief that the blood in his veins is the most aristocratic in the South. He is happy in the love { of Georgiana Byrd, the belle of his ! native state. Rich, young. and | power politically. his cup of happiness seems to be filled to overflowing. Cliff Noyes, whiskey of the fiery tured for negro consumption, per- suades Morrow to run for governor. During the campaign one of Philips negroes is lynched, in spite of Mor- row efforts to save him from the law. The incidest makes a deep im- pression on Morrow's mind, his election to the govermorship decides to sign a prohibition bill which would mean the ruin of Noyes' busj- ness.
