Drug- ., and at lead- cert Given By Catholic Choral Union at Lyceum The fourth annual concert of the Catholic Choral union was given in the Lyceum last evening and the repu- tation of this fine organization for | excellance in entertainments was ful- ly upheld. The audience as usual | was a large one and represented to a marked degree that portion of tho city’s population that is interested in music. The chorus had been well drilled by Professor Irederick I PROY. F. F. HARMON. Harmon, organist at St. Mary’s church, and it responded beautifully to“ev: swing of his baton; the veices were artisically hlended and the.action per- fect. This was best seen in its num- ber, “Little Cotton Dolly,” called for exaction, variation and pre cision and the response was excellent. The program was in two parts, tha first being a sort of a mediey and the second *“Mozart’'s Twelfth Mass,” which was beautifully sung. The soloists of the evening were Miss Rena Lazelle, soprano; Miss Margaret Carney, contralto; H. .. Stedman, tenor; Carl Schlegel, bari- tone. Mr. Stedman, who comes from & i ews for Theatre Goers and Wo Cream Tones Are to Be the Craze of Fashionable Women This Season Cream tones are to be the during the coming summer.

Bands of fleet, starting at the neck- i end of the shoulders, cross on the bust and run under the arms to meet low at the back, where %y simulate a ! hodice on the blouse, ynose plainly set-in sleeves stop at the elbows under: i bands of puffing. Viewed from the rear, these short sléeves are contra- dicted by a collar so high that its upper edge comes well above the hair- line, while its lower limit comes several inches below the mneck’s line.

Gathered to thé waistband of the ekirt is a hip-deep tufle flounce swhich overlaps a second flounce drop- ping halfway to the knees at front. At the sides both flounces begin to lengthen, but so gradually that their difference at the back is nmot particu- larly marked. This drooping effect is repeated by a sash in tilleul and black moire starting at front, on the waists normal line, but dropping on the eides and joining at the hips’ basc over the skirt's back. Forming the sole garnishing of the bodice is a wide | collar in lace, shirred and dropping to a deep point at front and back, and applied to outline a slightly rounded neck. Lace is applied to the sleeves to produce a pointed efrect, where they stop at the elbows, again repeat- ing the peculiar drooping characteris- tic of the model. . Filet lace .appears so frequently among the new creationg that whoever has any of it rem#ining from other Cays will.do well to utilize it now. The lovely mesh, deepiy creamed, trims a model in batiste whose salient feature is a polonaise with ing collar covering the back and sides of the neck. The lace trims the collar, provides the deep cuffs, the Liadice over which the polonaise opens and th¢ band which encircles it about the hips. déep, scallop-edged bordering for the long over garment and as a flounce on the side-pleated skirt.

Mr. Bchlegel, who comes from the Metra- politan opera house in New York, was the last of the soloists in the first part and gave his numbers with re- markably good effect. The solo nuni- bers in the second part of the program were rendered with the same skill while the chorus did its work splen- didly. The Lyceum orchestra which was increaged in numbers for the oc- cagion pleyved well. Edward J. Foloy and Miss Caroline Young were the ac companiests on the piano.

Others have joined in the suggestion. and Mr. Mantell has iaken the matter under serious con- sideration.

One of the greatest comedy suc- cesses of a decade will be seen ut | Poli's Hartford theater all week when the Poli Players present “Ready Money,” the international triumph by James Montgomery. This play, which ran for many months in New York. a little of its success to the fact that it is absolutely clean and wholesome in theme and tfreatment; pessesses a consistent story of graphic and ab- sorbing heart interest and that its de- 1 lightfully involved factors of love and i modern romance, make for a play of decided interest to women, while men are held spellbound in witnessing the efforts of the hero te achieve large and immediate wealth—ready money. This is no mercenary ambition, but gimply as a means to overcome the objections of a prospective mother-in- law' again ‘the intended marriage of her daughter to a poor man. In the first act Stephen Baird, the hero, appears dead broke on New { Years’ Eve. He has an undeveloped Bolg mine out west. An extraordinary event now happens in the appearance of one Ives, a man of plausible speech and manners, who induces Stephen to accept $20,000 in counterfeit bills, not for circulation, but to show his friends that he has plenty of money. From this point there is a constant series of surpriging incidents, which carries the anditors well night at beiling point to the final curtain. Tncidentally, the wine turns out a success and Stephen and Ives escape the efforts of the United States secret. service agenis who \were after them as suspected holders of counterfeit money. How- ever, Stephen wins his bride and everything ends happil: PREPARING FOX'S THEATER FOR SUMMER Elaborate preparations are being made by the management of Fox's towards giving the patrons comfort- able environments during the coming warm days. Exelusive of the most modern ventilating system in the the- ater an abundance of oscillating fans jare being installed and it is expected these fans will help materially in keping the air well eirculated and in- and comfortable. 1t is the intention of the management to continue the the i market even during the summer | months, ‘and keeping in mind at all times the comfort of the patrons this extra expens of installing the fans has been incurred. The program for today and tomer- row is a most delightful and pleas- ing anec.

Reatriz Michelena re- membered here for her excellent work in “Mignon” and other productions is excellently cast in this photo-play and her supporting company is a very cap- i able one. In conjunction with “The Poverty Flat” the latest chapter of “The Black Box,” that fascinating serlal story by B, Phillips Oppenheim and The Pathe News will also be shown.

If & were rude to heér now, then 1T might nave some réason for shame, but no can humiliate me but myself.” As 1 listened.I thought of something I redd in a magazine the other day: “I'm ridiculous in this way, Jane,” (said the strange boarder), “I'm a lot interested in what I 'da myself but 1 can't some way get interested in what other people do to me. I can’t make it seem to myself that it's very much my affair, you see. Seems to me that's their affair.” e I do not believe there is any great truth of which we losé gight more easily than this—that the things that really count in our lives are the things we do ourselves and not the things that ethers do to us. No Ome Can Hurt You But Yourselfl. If I were a minister I think I should preach a sermon just aboyt once in so often on the text: “Neot that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man, which cometh out of the mouth.” No one can humiliate you but yourself. No one can reaily hurt you but yourself, \ We are used 1o thinking of the things that happén te us, the things that others do or =&y to us as the big things of life, but after all they are not. Tt is only the ‘things we do onrselves that really count, Too Proud to Have Pride, People will sometimes keep up a quarrel even when they know they are wrong because it would seem a Intk of pride to give in. The truer pgide would be to acknowledge the wrong -and thereby purge one’s soul of the stain of an unacknowledged wrong, Once, long ago, 1 came upon a little girl sitting on « doorstep crying. “What's the matter, little girl; has some one hurt you?” I asked. “Oh, no,” she gasped painfully, "I hurt myself.” “You fell down?” The Inside Hurt Worse Than the Outside, “No,” through fresh sobs, I was cross to mother and new it huris inside.” Dear little philesopher-—she spoke more wisely than she knew, No one can really hurt you but yourself. When we start to blame our weakness and compromises, our fallures to “keep at eve the faith of morn” upon circumstances, let's stop a moment and think of what a man once sald under the strain of greater irinls than we are likely to ever know! “It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishment the scroil, i I am the master of iy fate, I am the captain of my soul.” but that | the slow season for theatrical enter- | prises and to keep up the attendance of the ordinary must FIVE BIG ACTS ARE i ON KEENEY’S BILL |joméning ont i The Keeney management believes it - is doing this amd capacity houses are expected to prevail all week, Be- sides the strong vaudeville bill some i “extras’” have been secured for the | motion picture part of the entertain- | ment. The Keeneyscope program therefore, gives promise of being ex- ceptionally good. One of the extra vaudeviile attrae- tions is ““The Maids of the Sea.” This |is =aid to be the biggest novelty in- troduced in vaudeville this year. It has been a pronounced success in the metropolitan cities, where it has been presented, and it should find big favor here, The Billy B, Johnson trio, colered entertainers, who claim to lead their race in the field of variety entertajn- ment, are also expected to be Mg drawing eards, They have a clasay act with some comedy surprises that are sure to extract the laughs, Wales and Dunning, a pair of up- to-the.minute comedians, will make n notable contribution to the program and Herman and Rice, o team of song and dance specialists, should also be favorites.
