It also carrlesl a most pleasing romance of a coun- try town. “Saddie Woodis,” the! postmiktress at Brookline, Mass., and “Jae Westcott,”” the star twirler on the Harvard college nins are beset by the evll intrigues of foes. ‘‘Dave Har- rigan,” a sort of unscrupuleus chap, wheedles ““‘Saddie’s” brother and in. volves him and ‘the postmistress as ‘well by robbing the post office. Then the post office building is fired and the robbery remains a mystery. The viilanous work of the plotter, how- | ever, goes for naught.

SPLENDID PROGRAM | AT FOX'S SUNDAY | “Ldttle this A most interesting and entertaining program of motion picture atractions is affered at Fox’s tomorrow night. Charlie Chaplin, he with the funny feet and e¢qually funny hat and man- nerisms, will be shown in his latest endeavor which eclipses in comedy situations any of his comedies in which he has appeared for the Essanay producers. For spontan. eous laughter the Chaplin caomedies are incomparable, and they: elways carry in their story enough hilarity to suffice the most-critical of grouch- es. Tomorrow night's attraction is in one reel, but enough good stuff is) injected ‘ipto the thousand feet of film to make twa or three reels. Besides the latest Chaplin com- edy, the four part Kalem drama, “The Invisible Power,” with a cast of film celebrities will also be shown. The story is a most dramatic and thrilling -one, dealing as it doés with will be | preciation of the season’s engagement. | F inches ,.agu wid‘: for . the " (9869 Child’s Low Belted Coat, 4 to 8 years.

It shows clearly the possibil- ities of influencing the actions of an- other peérson by thought suggestion, and the action of the play carries the spectator through a series of thrilling escapades that are tensely dramatic and highly entertaining. Several single reels will augment the program, and Fox patrons will do well to come early and be comfort- ably seated.

Mrs. Carter ap- peared as Maryland Calvert and her portrayal is as good as when she cre- ated the role a deocade ago, in the original stage production. The play is produced upon an elaborate scale and when Mrs. Carter appeared in the scene where she swings through the air, suspended from the clapper of the bell in the high church belfry, the audiences at both performances vesterday were thrown into a state “BY THE SEA” COMEDY AT LYCEUM SUNDAY Charlie Chaplin, the funniest man who ever faced a camera without breaking it, will be featured at the Sunday evening concert at the Ly- ceum in “By the Sea,” his latest com- edy.

The thrilling action of this produe- tion relates the story most vividly. Far other subjects the manage- ment has selected the Vitagraph presentation of “Whose Husband.” SEVERAL BIG PARTS IN NEXT POLI PLAY The Hartford Poli week will present Players next “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.” This remarkable play has been successful and the secret of its success lies in the fact that its story plays on the heart strings while fhe’characters are not of the overdrawn kind so frequently seen on the. stage. 'Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” is a comedy in every sense of the word and it is a comedy that can be witnessed several times without becoming monotonous. There are several really big parts in the play, Hiram being ane, Mrs, Wiggs another, Miss Hazey a third, Lovey Mary a fourth and to the others ‘are given froles which stand out promi- nently. Harry Hollingsworth will be Hiram Stebbins, a character that pre- sents the papular leading man in a new light. Those who have seen the play know the nature of the part and they will relish the eppertunity of seeing Mr. Hollingsworth as Hiram. Thase who have never seen the play may rely upon the statement that they have a genuine treat in store for them. Mr. Hollingsworth has un- bounded opportunities for the intro- duction of fun and comedy and he may be relied upon to give the part a notable characterization. Miss Skirvin will be Lovey Mary, a delight- ful girlish character, for which the popular leading lady is admirably equipped, with the dash and vim so noticeable in her work and her ad- mirers may lock for a masterly por. trayal of the rele. Miss Dalton will be Mrs. Wiggs and Madeline Moore returns to the cast in the role of Miss Hazey, one of the big character parts. Miss Lestina, Mr. Seabury, Mr. Phil- lipc, Mr. Ellis, Mr. McQuarrie, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Fagan, Mr. Dower and the ather favorites have congenial roles. 7868 is cut in { FINE CIRCUS TEAM KEENEY HEADLINER| Included in the list of performers, rvho will close their engagements in | New Britain tonight, are the Wil- lards, a circus team, which for the past two summers has been a big icature of the Barnum Bailey shows. ‘these balancing wizards have been in vaudeville since early in the winter and this week #hey are furnishing the { headliner at Keeney's. They have heen attracting attention for several Guys and have shawn themselves to | be magnets of great drawinz power, | tiguring by box office methods of cal- i culation. Their act is a series of | vensations and its spectacular char. acter has made it the talk of the city. Seated in varjous positions at heights ranging frem four to thirty feet, these clever people balance them- sclves on the rear legs of chairs while the audience looks on with abated breath. Their work is extremely haz- ardous and thelr tricks are accom- plpished with great difficulty. There are a number of other acts on this week's bill that are well worth seeing. Keeney's is offering a «whow for which the management has to make no apologies. In fact it is one about which boasting is excusable, Competing with the Willards for first honors is the Colanial trio, a com- bination of talented singers. There ie much in this act that commends it to a discriminating audience. It makes a special hit with music lovers as the singing is something far out of i the ordinary. While the trio ren- ders papular and classical numbers, giving a good mixture of each, it is with the old fashion ballads that it makes the Dbest impression. The singing of “The Last Rose of Sum- mer” by Miss Ida Butler, the soprano soloist, is ane of the most pleasing things that has been done here in & long time. Two classy song and dance num- bers are furnigched by Bernard and { DeHaven and Bernie and Herman. In | both acts some lively patter as well !

At the back | where the flounce’s edges do not join, a narrow strip of the black skirt shows all the way to the lower edgoe of a tall girdle in satin, veiled wilh the lace forming the bodice. Like so many of the afternoon gowns recent- 1y sént over from Paris, this costume has a bodice whose deep V front con- trasts with a high back, finished with flaring collar. The full-length without gathers into the arm eyes, they broaden below them and fall | way from the elbows in ripples. The all-black hat to be worn with this = gown, although rather small, gains an appearance of wmize from two huge loops of satin ribbon domihating its left side and from three lace and tulle ruffies edging ita brim and droppin far over the face.
