These plctures are presented by the Herald through a special arrangement with the New York Sun, tell a thrilling story. They depict war in all its phases, showing its pomp, its horror, its pathos and even its grim humor. There are pictures of big gun in ac- tion, of soldiers on the firing line, of ! dying men recelving the last rites of the church, of civilians fleeing before the ddvancing armies, of Zeppelins | preparing to drop death from the | clouds, of battleships raining destruc- tion on the foe and of cities in ruins. The men who secured these pictures were intrepid beyond belief. They could only have been obtained by men prepared to face every peril and ready to endure every hardship. The new pictures are much more complete than those shown in this city earlier in ‘the winter. They em- brace a wider range of subjects and form a‘much more comprehensive pictorial history of the great avar up to the present time. : Battle scenes .in France and - Bel- gium, photographs from the eastern front, a picture of the Sultan of Turkey embarking for a review of his naval forces and the landing of Cana- dians. troops on French shores are some of the subjects and still others are an armored train in-the act of | bombarding a village and the blowing up of a bridge in the path of German invaders. There 'is a grand reyiew of the the Genman armies by their War Lord and an actual battle sceme in which a German company, surrounded in a i wood, displays a white flag in token of ! submission. All the pictures are remarkably clear, considering the circumstances under which they were taken, and @ | some of them are marvels of realistic photography. The men who made them were often actually under fire. The moving pictures camlera has shown us a continent in arms. It has followed the soldiers to their trenches and has gone with them into battle.

The show well merits the patronage of vaudeville devotees. It is a well bal- anced bill and there is enough novelty in its make-up to give it the right tone for an up-to-date variety show. The acts are light and entertaining and they win the approval of dis- gLiminating theater-goers. e principal attraction is furnishea@ by thg Bannoéns, an aggregation of Indian ®ub swingers, who are num- bered amd the leadeds of their art. They give a B, exhibition of their | skill. They are superiof to any club Jugglers ever -appearing in this c and their act finds great favor Tt is well worth the price of admission.

Rain or Shine: ‘THE GRAND' STREET LA TENA’S CIRCUS 18i HERE NEXT TUESDAY | * About the best circus that ‘has amused Gardner patrons in years, La Tena’s wild animal circus played to a well filled tent at the Conant street | grounds yesterday aftérnoon and evening and the big crowds were thoroughly satisfied that they had gotten their money’s worth. There were 24 big acts, all of which found faver. There were pony drills, performing lons, traimed seals, ele- phants, acrobats, performing bears, bareback rides and wire walkers, and they all deserved the applause that was accorded them. The elephants, as is usually the ease, wére objects of interest and the tricks that they performed with Wal- ter Allen and two assistants showed remarkable intelligence. Capt Wes- ley’s seals were a novelty, Another act which furnished thrills was by Captain Haggen, who put five lions through numerous stunts, not without danger. One of the beasts o'elock, -and Evening il\lfly 21 and Come Lacing Suggest Lacing Sch With the revival of the flowered silk, the lace-ruffled petticoats and the rose garland trimmings -which contribute so materially to the devél- cpment of modern picture gowns have come lacing fastenings for bodices. Ruttons, however elaborate, are too miodern and hooks ar etoo practical, but long cords in silk, tinsel or ribbon are both useful and ornamental, and, Pecause of the liberities which may be taken with them, give u picture- sque appearance to.a bodice which might otherwise look commonplace. A case in point is a sieeveless affair in black .vélvet which Is saved from lnfdiocrit;’ by the heavy white silk cordings which, twined about a double row of faney, disks, fasten its fronts from where they cross a triffle helow the bust to a scant inch below the waist line.

The same young woman has a figure perfectly adapted to the carrying of picture frocks, and a face which looks its loveliest when shaded by a picture hat.

Rose-centered ribbon bows joining the fromts of a bodice suggest a lacing scheme as novel as it is pretty. The Yodice belongs to a pink and white Gance frock shewing farious novel features in addition to the bow lacings.

COHAN PLAY AT " POLI'S NEXT WEEK Tt is predicted that the ‘Seven Keys to Balpate” will unlock the doors at Poli’s Hartford theater all next week to one of the briskest and—since this is a George M, Cohan play—bulliest, bang-up stage entertainments that has come to 'Hartford in a long timd. It will be acted by the Poli Players. Farl Derr Biggers, novelist, ‘who wrote ‘Séeven Key to Baldpate” in its original form, was a wise young man when he temepered his own stage-crafting, inclinations and said, “Let Geerge Do It,” For, with all due respect to Mr. Bigger's gift for de- lineating- character and inventing sit- uations, Géorge has done it. The story of “Seven Keys To Bald- pate” follows the good old rule of melodrama to center the interest of the audience upon seme subject, in this case a package of $200,000 in bills of the denomination of $1,000, upon which the fate of all the char- acters depends. Then the audience fol- lows the movement of -the package through a serles of incidents, much of which are gmusing, as the package wanders from the crook’s pocket to the safe; thence to the pocket of the hero, back to amnother crook, him once more to the hero, thence to the herione, thence to the villainess. thence to the chief of police, passing by way of the hermit into a grate of fire, s There is much gun play, incrim- ination, re-incrimination, capture and escape, by the way, and the charac- ters are understood to be a delight. ! W. R. C. PREPARING FOR SONG RECITALS . The Woman's Relief Corps is pre- paring for sang recitals to be given in Eleciric hall, 88 West Main street, ¥riday and turday of next week, Wilmont Goodwin, the noted baritenc and assisting ar- tists, will render an exceptionaily good program.

A l “In the Days of the Thundering Herd," thp'Sellg frontier drama of '49, a drama of love, adventure on! the western prairies is the big attrac- tion at Fox's tomorrow night. Dur- ing the agtion of the story herds of buffalo pass to and fro, and these beasts aid in material way to:createi the atmosphere of the photo-play. “In the Days of the Thundering Herd” is one of the most historically interesting ‘motion-pictures ever pro- duced. The scenes were filmed on the great ranch of “Pawnee Bill” in Oklahoma where over seven hundred Pawnee Indains maintain their tep- pes and where one of the biggest herds of buffalo now existing, roam without restriction. The scenes arc laid during the dayd of '49 when the intrépid frontiersman battied with the { Indians for supremacy and when the scalp of man, woman or child of the | white race wah the token of an In- dian bravery and right to be called |a man. The Indians swarmed over the western prairies, their principal food being the meat of the buffalo of { which there were a large number. Thousands of frontiersmen made 4 precarious livelihood by hunting the | buffalo, and among these buffalo ! hunters were Willlam F. Cody (Buf- falo Bill), Major Gordon W. Lillie | (Pawnee BilD, etc. . In those days a ! buffale pelt was worth about $1, and } after skinning the carcass and re- | moving the tongue the rest of the meat was left to fed the vultures and coyotes. Far swift moking action, | thrills hair-breath escapes with a ! story that is temsely interesting, this production has no peer and should ! be a good attraction for the delecta- tion of the legioh af the Sunday night Fox patrons. Several single reel comedies and dramas will augment ,the program. ! Nance O’Neil, the empress of stormy emotion under the direction of the William Fax forces is offered in “Princess Romanoff’” based on Sar- dou’s “Fedora” will be shown for the lagt times tonight and all Fox pat- rons should avail. themselves of the opportunity of seeing it. i 1 Miss Ryan received at least a half dozen new models in waists yesterday at her shop, 79 Pratt street, Hartford.

Becoming turbans, = are trimmed with high bows of tulle. In Paris at present the tailored suit is almost de rigueéur. The military effect has not been ignored in the new models. ‘The fluffy short-skirited evening frogks are yery charming. Scalloped borders are used to fin- ish short skirts and little boleros. Striped voiles and nlll_u are as great favorites” as floweréd silks. Skirt hems of the new full dreases are often stiffened with horsehair. So far no fabric has taken the place of linen for summer dresses. There are numberless combinations of satin and straw in millinery. Slesves of afternoon and evening frocks may be of any length desired. Dinner and theatér dresses are at- tractively made of sprigged taffetas. There is still a trace of the Russian influence in many of the new cos. tumes. Undermusgling are so sheér that they are more like cobwebs than eam- bries. B Gray tulle and silver lace is one of the prettiest combinations for even- The prettiest trimming for big Leg- horn hats is Leouis XV wreaths of tiny flowers. Wings are poised on the crowns of turbans in a manner which gives hejght to the hat. Occasionally the bodice of an evening frock is laced at the back in the old-fashioned manner. Black net dréssés are charming fashioned with flounces, the flounces being edged with jet fringe. Tong taffeta coats with short waists and full skirts are very attrac- tive over lingerie dresses. The charming ¥ress of the mo- ment is the one that seems to have been made with the least effort. e S, . Evening petticoats have their up- per halves of pink crépe dé chine, with many layers of pink net far the lower half. White chiffon waists are worn with black taffeta skirts. The 'I'B.Ilts have flaring tails and are worn over the skirt. Tassels are used to trim various parts of the gown, but the most in. teresting use of them is to hang them on a net petticoat and allew them to dangle below the skirt. Collar and bishop sleeves of black net are charming in a blouse of white satin, The wrists are finished with flaring picot edged frills, Long avercoats are an important item in the fashionably dressed wom- an’s wardrobeé, and covert or tafféta may be used for them. Turn out on a ;| Reading Advertisements Wkhat tremendously interesting things advertisements are! I know: of people who lay aside a magazine or a newspaper as finished when they have read the storics or the news, They treat the pages of advertising as if they were blank pages. What spendthrifts of interest and amusement they are! There was a time when I used to be as cxtravagant, and then ene evening I had to spend four lours in a railway station with one news- paper and one half read magazine as my sole literature. 1 read them both » literally from cover to cover, and learned a lesson in intengive caultivation in reading which will stay with me the rest of my life, Advertisements are chock-full of both interest and (nstruction get the right angle on ‘them.

Can’t you feel the probable story behind the advertisement for tw rooms for a man and baby girl “in a respectable home where care can be given the chila?” .
