L4 OF THE CABBAGE oo “News T “FIFTY'MILES FROM | BOSTON” AT LYCEUM Phe Lyceum Players have been seen at the Lyceum this season in attrac- tions, each one better than the one preceding it, and the best of all is the closing bill “Fifty Miles from Boston” which is now playing. Beau- tifully staged and costumes especial- Iy attractive it is unanimously agreed to be the best offering of the entire season, A very large cast is in- troduced in the production and it is interspersed with popular musical numbers and dances which contri- bute in adding to the excellence. The seats for the remaining perfor- mances to he given @re now on sale and there is an especially lively de- mand for tickets. The widespread sat- jsfaction itself accounts for the de- mand. Excellent sittings are to be the tain their tickets at once. There is an interest in thé per- formances of the last week of the season that marks the closing of an engagement especially appealing to the theatergoers. This first. scene and the setting in the last act of “Fifty Miles From Boston” arc es- pecially attractly COMEDY PLAYLET IS ON KEENEY'’S BILL ) \ While “The Fashion Shop,” Kee- ney’s special attraction this week, is of course the big feature of the show there are other numbers on the pro- gram that are deserving of consider- able praise. Perhaps the most meritorious of these is “The New Stenographer,” the comedy playlet presented by Manuel Alexander and company. This is a splendidly written piece. It has a good plot, affording many opportun- ities for humorous situations, the dialogue is sparkling and the style most pleasing. The audience likes this 'specialty ‘as much perhaps as anything on the bill, not excluding The Fashion Shop and the company presenting it receives a liberal share of the applause every day. Mr. Alexander is an actor of consummate skill and he does much with 'the character which he delineates in the piece. He is supported by some clever people and the combination is one of unusual strength for vaude- ville sketches. There is something very appealing about the act of Mlle, Tuttle and her trained parrots. This is a novelty of merit. It finds favor with the pa- trons of the theater and is well re- ceived every day. The.birds in the act are remarkably well educated. They ‘are trailned to talk Seemingly with ‘almost human intelligence and the results are astonishing. The Fashion Shop continues talk of .the town, It js New Britain's first theatrical fashion display and the idea apparently meets with gen- eral approval. The styles are ex- hibited by sixteen handseme young women led by Mabel Gray, a noted beauty. ' The latest creations of the modiste and milliner’s art are shown. The whole makes an exceedingly pretty picture even to those not es- pecially interested in the decrees of Dame Fashion. Other acts that are finding favor évery day are Virginia Carlton, the California Nightingale; Whitley and Bell, singers and comedians and The Kings, clever musicians. The Pathe weekly will be num- j bered among the pictures tonight. “DIPLOMACY” AT PARSONS’ TOMORROW the ‘William Gillette, Miss Blanche Bates and Miss Marle Doro, appear- ing in Charles Frohman’s tri-star re- vivai of Victorien Sardou's ‘Diplo- macy,” are announced to be seen at the Parsoms theater, Hartford, Friday and Saturday evenings, and Saturday afternoon. The arrival of ary one of Mr. Frohman’s stars during the the- atrical year is an event of interest, but the coming of three at once is something of a remarkable occasion. Added importance is attached to the association of these three players, since it marks the return to the stage of Mr. Gillette after a retirement of four years. Mr. Gillette’'s last ap- pearances were in revivals of his “Secret Service,” “The Private Secre» tary” and “Sherlock Holmes"” in 1910, The assocation of the trio also brings about the return to America of Miss Doro after a lengthy season in Lon- don. In the British metropolis she was seen in the same role. ‘“Dora,” the heroine, she is to play here. Her final English triumph came when she was ‘‘commanded” to appear in “Diplomacy’” before the king and queen at Windsor. Miss Bates is credited with having score one of the most emphatic successes of her ca- reer as Countess Zicka, the role giv- ing her ample opportunities for the display of those forceful and artistic capabilities to which she owes her fame, “Diplomacy” is a splendid vehicle for the three stars, since each has individual opportunity in roles of even and equal importance, Robert B. Mantell will be seen dur- ing his next week's engagement at the Parsons theater in u performance of “HYPOCRITES” WILL BE AT FOX'S TOMORROW “Hypocrites” is a symbolical play ' which presents a strong appeal to each and every individual, and like all morality plays with a purpose are well received by the theater-going public. Hypocrites will be shown at Fox's tomorrow and Saturday, Judging from all reports Fox patrons will do well to come early, be com- { fortably seated as overflowing crowds are expected at all of the mances. The prologue of the picture is pre- sented in the story of a monk who struggles his way to conception of ‘‘Truth” of a monastery. “Truth” perfor- a This conception he carves out in the form of a marble statue of a woman, which ' he is permitted by the abbott of the monastry to exhibit to ‘the people upon a holiday. Before a gatheéring of the whole people from king to beggar and cripples, upon the common the statue is unveiled and arouses the indignation and horror of the crowd, which first attacks and kills the monk and afterward stones the statue and | , young monk seeking and medieaval | in the midst | of : { the medieval which seems to disappear from their midst and is next seen entering the gates of the Garden of Truth, The second scene of the photo- play places the story of a soul's search for the truth in a modern setting, with the earnest young pas- , tor preaching to his congregation a ' gcorching denunciation of “Hypoc- risy” amd ‘meeting in them the game indifference and scorn of “The Naked Truth” that the monk met. Exhausted and heart-broken, the voung minister sinks into uncon- sciousness, wherein, in a vision, he sees himself in the person of ' the ? neaching heights. where dwells “Truth” and bringing her back to his people. To group after group, in politics, so- clety, the home, “Truth” holds up her mirror and revéals facts as they are, only to meet the same indiffer- ence. In the end the pastor dies of a broken heart, accompanied as in picture, by the pure voung girl and “Mary Magdalene.” Children under sixteen years of age will not be permitted during the two day showing of ‘Hypoerites.” Lionel Barrymore in ‘“The Curious Conduct of Judge LeGarde” and the latest chapter “Exploits of Elainé” will be shown for the last times tonight. Children’s Toys Found in the Shop Known as the Land of Make-Believe Golden Haired Girl in Charge of Pretty Studio Shop Will Explain Al About Them to Her Cus- tomers, This isn't, the real name for the pretty studio shop presidéd over by the golden haired "girl whose life is de- voted to the devising of conmiforts for children. But because of the charimr- ing atmospheré of chidhood that pre- vails here, this name will do even bet- ter than the original. ‘When one steps within the portal of this land of make-believe one natur- ally looks for the children, for there are toys on little low chairs, wonder- ful Jack Horner pies on the tables, and a'whole row of fascinating dolls is perched upon the back of the sofa Jjust as if children a moment since had been playing school with them. And the golden haired gril will tell you that they are really the most wonder- ful members of the indestructible family, cloth dolls with painted heads and wonders of wonders! they are jointed, a thing heretofore unknown to Ragdolldom. She explains that these dolls are rather expensive, but they are designed.and made by a real artist, which makes them much more valuable than the ordinary ones. For birthdays there is the most fascinatng little apron with ‘pockets, which are filled with treasures untold, and overalls whose pockéts fairly bulge with things dear to the heart of a boy. In a prettily decorated band- box there are two rainy-day bean bags, made in an entirely new way. For a soap-bubble party for two “King John,” Tuesday evening “Macbeth” will be given, followed on the Wednesday matinee with “The Merchant of Ven- ice’”; Thursday night, “Othello’ Friday night, “King Lear”; Saturday matinee “Romeo and Juliet,” ana Saturday evening, “Richard III” will complete the engagement. This repertoire is the most difficult as well as the most extensive that has been presented by any American actor since the days of Edwin Booth, and Mr. Mantell's success in the inter- pretation of these great roles has led to his recognition by veterapn critics all over the country whose memory extends back to the days of the old tragedians as the foremest actor now on the New World stage. Out of deferences to Forbes-Rob- ertson, the distinguished foreign actor who is to appear here shortly, Robert Mantell will not include “Hamlet™ in his repertory at Parsons theater next week, Forbes-Robertson is to play a half-week’s engagement at the same theater, following Mr. Mantell, and “Hamlet” is one of the thre plays in his repertory.

Tor the nursery door there is \the policeman door “porter,” and many familiar story book figures that are most appropriate to stand guard against slamming doors. “Fluff” is a fascinating toy to hang from baby's bugg top. “And,” the golden haired girl explains, “there are a number of pretty baby conveniences which one might say were really for grown-ups.” Bath sets, for instance, include a fine crash blanket, towels and wash cloths with pink or blue binding for baby; then there is the clothes line with tiny pins for drying clothes be- fore the radiator or before the fire. A beach bag, both for little folks and grown-ups, is made of cretonne and is fully fitted with comb brush, glass, a mending outfit and powder box. Pure lard, 1lc Ib. Russell Bres. —advt.

RURAL PLAYS ARE POPULAR AT POLI'S The extreme popularity of rural‘ plays is again cvidenced this week at Poli's Hartford theater where the Poli Players are presenting, before large and apppeciative audlences, the classic “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” a play that has proven to be oné, of the most amusing plays of its kinds that the stage has ever seen. Manager Thatcher has written song entitled “Lovely Mary,” a number that he has dedicated to the character of Mary in the play, and it is being sung | at each performance by Hddie Ma- honey and his son, scoring a big hit. The song has already a wide circula- tion, like the other song successes that Manager Thatcher has written, A slight change in the matter of souvenirs is announced heginning next week and continuing until further notice. Mondays will continue to be souvenir matinees at. which useful souvenirs will be distributed to all women atfending the matinee. Here- tofore souvenir photos of the Poli Plafiers have been distributed on Thursday afternoon, and the complete list has been distributed. As there were many other regular patrons who desired to'receive the photos, Manager Thatcher has decided to continue the series, giving them out on Tuesday | afternoon. Manager Thatcher has 4 surprise in store for the Thursday patrons, start- ing in a weeck or two.

Most of the money %he saves in this way she spends upon her homec. Her furniture is the most costly in the neighberhoad, her china is ex. quisite and her beautifully embroidered linen is of the finest. Now, my neighbor also has a neighbor. This woman lives in a small house very simply furnished, but she keeps a helper. My neighbor cannot understand this. “I should think she would want to fix up her house,” she says, “even if she did have to work a little harde, The maid’s board emd wages and what she wastes must cost her ten dol- lars a week. Just think, if she went without a maid for a yéar she could furnish that house decently.” . How Much More Wisely She Would Use It. And my neighbor sighs with the unresigned heiplessness of those who could spend other people’s money so much more wisely if they were al- lowed to do so. A day or two later my neighbor's neighbor, she of the small houss and plain furniture, is talking about her neighbor at an afternoon lea af, which the latter had the misfortune not to be present. “My dear,” T hear her saying to the woman at her right, “how Mrs. M. be willing to slave over that house from morning until night? She never has time for anything else. T should think she'd rather havea 1itt1é less expensive furniture and =ome time to enjoy life,” If T had Her Money. “Or some better looking clothes,” says the other woman who is known for the simplicity of her table and the elaboraténess of her tailets, If ! had her money. * ¢ *" s Owing to a shift in the alignment of forces I am deprived of the pleasure of knowing how she would spend her neighbor’'s money, butd can guess. And so it goes. I have quoted others because that's easler than quoting myself, but I often catch myself saying, “I should think she'd spend less for,” ete I fancy there are few indoor sports more universally enjoyed than criticising one’s neighbor for the way he spends his money and cxplaing ing how much more wisely you could spend it.
