Three characters mect her | under as many different designations. The trio of fellows go out to make a' night of it and meet in a famous Proadway restaurant, where they are surprised by “Mignon’s” husband. The complications arising from this unex- pected meeting furnish the laughs for the evening. After the series of di- | verting circumstances the complica- | tions are straightened out by the ar-| rival of the colonel, who is in search of his wife. His arrival creates con- | strenation and there is much hiding ; behind screens, in closets and other convenient places. The colonel, though peppery, is a.good sort and the matters are finally straightened out. CHARLIE CHAPLIN AT LYCEUM SUNDAY Sunday evening Charlie Chaplin, who has someone laughing all the! time, will be featured in the great two-reel production of “The Tramp” | at the Lyceum. From the rise of the sun to the setting thereof, in all carners of the earth, Charlie Chap-; lin is making people laugh. His lat- est picture, “The Tramp,” is the greatest mirthmaker of all in whicn | he has appeared, which is saying a| good deal, for he has been kept busy | since coming into the ascendant. Now | at the zenith of his popularity he is| at his best and the picture offered to | the patrons of this playhouse is the] finest ever. Kssanay photo artists’ have caught him in some of his most | enjoyable stunts. A very refined and artistic praduc- tion of “The Return of Maurice Don-! nelly” is one of the features of the! program. This is a Vitagraph pic-, ture, presenting some of the bright-; est of the Vitagraph galaxy of stars. | Jts settings are very attractive and lends charm to the very clever and realistic story being presented. “An Opal Ring,”. another Essanay production, tells ‘the story of super. stition attendant on opal stones. For fun-making purposes anather Biograph plcture “Just a Lark,” is of- fered. CLUB JUGGLING IS GOOD AT KEENEY’S Remarkable Indian club juggling is one of the big features of the Keeney show this week and vaudeville lovers who have not visited the popular playhouse should be in the audience in- night when the exhibition is given for the last time. The act introduces to New Britain people the Mabel Fonda troupe of jugglers. Their work | is of a very high character. They are i being favorably recelved at every performance and they win as much applause as any of the performers. The headliner is a musical comedy, | “A Trip Down the Harbor,” presented i by Jack Noble and Willie Landers, | assisted by a chorus of seven young ladies. It is a well arranged act, the musical numbers are good and the | comedy is very funny. The tabloid i has some meritorious qualities and it is appreciated by the audience. The Lavarnies and their dog “Honey' have a musical offering that measures up to any act of its Kind. They present both vocal and instru- mental numbers, the novel harmonica selections proving a splendid feature. Skillful acting makes ‘The Great Question,” Charles 1. McDonald’'s aramatic sketch, a most acceptable attraction. Mr. McDonald is an actor of exceptional ability and his support is of quality calibre. 'The company has a forceful vehicle in the sketch it is now using and much entertain- ment is derived from it. Gene Gomez continues to deceive the audience with his female imper- sonations.

Many of those who painfull need the assistance of the charitable organizations meant especially for them cannot take advantage of this assistance b they luck the edu- cation and familiarity with affairs to find out about them and use them.

My washerwoman was a Widew who was trying to keep of three small children together by transforming a thgusand ments or so a weck into clean ohes, Pennies come slowly and out of the wash tub; dollars are milestones. One morning my woman who is us 1y as cheerful as if she weren’t trying to drive away a very vicious wolf with no better weapon than a wooden washboard, appeared looking rather downhearted.
