Miss Callaway’s ‘‘Jack and “‘Jill” song is one of the popular mus- ical hits of the attraction and Miss Bolton’s song and dance is a popular feature. = Mrs. Hibbard has written an extra verse for her number and it will be given at the Saturday per- formances. The players are making their plans for the summer engagements but they are not so far matured as to be ready for announcement just at this time. Because tha advance sale has been so large for the performance this evening and the final presentations on Saturday thre is still an opportunity for a large number to witness the per- formances of this very popular at- traction..

Its wonderful appeal to all Christianity is so great that not only have the public récognized its worth but have time and again discussed it with | their clergymen. The latter have appreciated the qualities of the || have. THE INSPIRATION. i production, and since the first presen- tation ‘of it at the Longacre theate: New York, several hundred: clergy men, who became interested through their congregation, have witnessed it. Those who have seen it seem eager to recommend it to others and if one ' wonders why this motion picture pro- | duction should be so honored, will fing the-answer by seeing it either to- or tomofrow at Fox's. “Hypocrites” is a beautifully pre- sented film story staged for most part out of doors in wondeérful leafy wood- land. ' The plece portrays “Youth"” ‘holding up the mirror and revealing the immorality, vanity, and deceit that hypocrites cover with cloaks of char- #ty, modesty, religion and love. Over mountain and dale, through forests and across rivers the faithful hero pursues “Truth,” seeking to see the reflections in her mirror. The lovely allegorical figure of - “Truth” is dazzling and daring, floating througn the film like ‘an elusive dream, hold- ing high her mirror which reveals some astounding facts. ‘“Hypocrites™ will be shown twice this evening, first time at 7:30 and the formance at 9:15. Doors this even- ing will open the usual time at 6:30 and the first performafice will com- mence at 6:45, and tomorrow running continuously from 1:30 to 10:30. Sev- 4 eral single reel comedies will’augment the interesting. program. .

Next week the players will dffer one of the best of the present day cemte- dies, “Ready Money,” n delightful niixture of Tromance, comedy, melo- drama and farce.. James Montgomery wrote the play and . it was presented in Hartford two years o to large audiences. Next week isthe first time that it has been presented lvcally at pepular ‘prices.. The story of “Ready Money™” is decidedly novel and materials have tiken a _place n summer. &hns. ta combined with' black ‘a trim and pretty frock, | hinese _parasols or embroid- dre among the season’s equally entertaining.

The blues employed are chiefly 6f pale tone, since dullshades do net accord with the dainty furnishings and deco- rations of: the dressing room. Then,-| too a great thany women who wonuld not dream of wearing certain delicats tones in cqnvenient garb, have no hes- itancy about agepting them \for gar- ments of a character so personal as is a peignoir. And blue is first favorite with the average woman, even though to some complexions it is unkind. Delicate azure is the shade of a pel- gnolr entirely of chiffon, and trimmed in novel fashion with morning glory sprays and satin ribbon. The flowers head a knee deep lace flounce on a filmy skirt, which they separate from a bodice whose'upper edge runs under the armpits. - Crossing the bust is a Jblue satin wide ribbon, which at back drops over the, hips: to-recross, as a bow, on the skirt’s front,’and finaily joins low at the baeék. 3 “Alice,” most alluring of medern blues, is combined with old rese in a peignoir whose salient fedture is a short boxlike jacket, apparently de- signed to break the long llnes of a garment whose silhouefte is ‘usually attenuated. =This deliberate break is emphasized by a frill in old rose chifs fon édging the jackeét’s lower edge, a tone ‘repeated in an, underdress in crepe meteor. trimmed with a beading edged’ fine box -pleating.

So wide is the long strip of Jace employed that while one edge | furnishes a finish for the neck, run- ning to a V-pointed decolletage just above the bust line, the opposite edse finishes the sleeves formed by merely catching the lace together at the el- bows. Between the walstline and the bust the edges of the lace length are lightly caught together, and the coat- like' garment naturally slopes toward the sides, to end far below the knees. The back, hanging straight, makes an uninterrupted lineé from the neck. ¥qually good would this model be in Wwhite, with lavender or pink. ‘While blue is so unusually promin- ent among peignoir models, pink is by no means neglected. Difficult to resist is a, model in shell-hued satin and white chiffon. The silken slip, sleeveless-and of square decelletage, falls straight from the shouldérs to the carpet, which it swéeps in grace- ful, if not cleanly, fashion, but at the waistline it is loosely drawn in with self-toned satin ribbons, tying. at front. Over this robe is tacked a loose flowing,” sacquelike, full length gar- ment in white chiffon cloth, a-jour bordered, and provided with ecclesias- unexpected break n this line ‘is pro- duced by a pannier drapery in bluo chiffon edged with an old rose ruffle.
