The wild and wooly west will comse into_its own at Keenevs this week, the management of the popular vaud- eville house, having billed the great cowpunching novelty for the head- line attraction. This number was to have been given last week but a change in the plans was made neces- sary .and it was decided to present it for the next six days with added fea- tures. There will be twenty people in the act, which is said to be the most expensive specialty on the book- ing agent’'s list. It is a unique turn and ip the cities where it has already been presented it has scored a signal triumaph. There are many spectacu- lar features to the attraction and it is bound to please the most exacting theatergoers. The other specialties on the menu are above the averige in merit. The News for Theatre Goe Women With Limited Girls With More Time Than Practical S Two skirts for-eaeh street suit and twa waists for each indoor costume constitute a practical method of get- ting the meost satisfaction out of a limited wardrobe. ‘With this theory well worked out, a woman with good taste will be able at all times to pre- sent an immaculate appearance on the street, while a pretty house frock can be made to do duty as a dressy afterneon costume, if the additional waist is a more or less elabarate one. In these days of separate skirts of plaids, chgtks and stripes the extra managment has gone to big expensc in making up the program and if it does not come up to expectations. it will not be due to lack of effort or a shortening of coat. In fact it is the most expensive show that has been offered here in a year, and the book- | ing agents predict that it will be a big box office winner. i *“The Inspector,” a dramatic play- let, usually ‘occupying the headline position where it plays, will be num- béred among the supporting acts this yweek. It is to be given by Gladys Hopttown, an actress of national rep- ,utation, assisted by a company of || capable people. The sketch iw said to ftmunees ) N, WAR PICTURES ces: 10c and 25¢. log.

Robbins circus, which will visit] hers on Friday, May 21 is a slide for life by Dare Devil Devoe, who bai- ances on top of his head and slides down a long wire from a trapeze to the ground. The act has never be- fore been seen with any other cireus in this country. = The act has béen secured at great expense by Mr. Reob- bins, ‘but.is only ome of many um usual things which will be seen with the circus when it comeés here. : Hillary Long, who walks down his 'head is another star whose act is not duplicate Th show has been greatly enldrged and impraved .this yvear, The parade, Which takes place every morning at 10 o'cloek, has many new features, the menagerie has been nearly doubled in size, and the pro- gram of acts provided by a big group of stars of the canvas dome, and ‘& score of bright fun makers keeps the audience interested for a straight two hours. Prior to both the afternopn and evening performances there will be concerts by the band, which has been a feature of the shaw for many years. Visiters each morning to Miss Ry- an's shop, 79 Pratt street, Hartford, are shown new styles in the daimty white and colored voile dresses for summer. In all-white she has . tho most exquisite models from the sim- ple little voile frocks for morning \wear and the veranda up to the lovely Gleorgette crepes fit for a bride. The range covers graduation dresses to ac- commodate all purses—advt. skirt for the suit can be of a different fabric, keeping the skirt matching the coat for more farmal wear and the 0da skift for runabout purposes, Green and blue checks and plaids can be worn with coats of plain blue or Breen serge ‘or tafféta, and combi- nations of black and white are és- pecially fashionable with little black Jackets. The two-skirt plan pre- vents one from ever being caught with an unwearable suit when the single skirt must be cleaned and pressed before it is presentable. Taffeta skirts, trimmed with deep bands of fine serge, offer a novel means ' of carrying out the two-skirt theory, and) such skirts are fashionable worn with a jacket of either material. Just the reverse' of the two-skirt plan should be carried out in the mat- ter of indoor dressing, as it is the upper part of a hbuse dress that first shows spots and signs of wear. Just now fashion in especially kind to the v’oman Whe must bring variety into her wardrobe by the use of separate waists. Se many of the jumpers, sleeveless basques and unlined blouses within the possibilities of the low- priced home seamstress that the two- waist plan for indoor dressées need not be a large item of expense. Remnants can aften be utilized for simple sleeveless waists, with elon- gated fronts, crossing at the front and then carried to the back and loosely knotted. This method. reduces cut- ting and fitting to a minimum, while it enables the wearer to regulate the neck line and the finish of the front to suit all circumstances. All edges may be corded or bound, unless a lit. tle handwork in the form of a hem caught with chain stitching is pre- ferred. Withaut sleeves, devoid of neck finighing or front closing, one of these overblouses should not take more than af half Way in the mak- ing, and 1t will completely transform the plain net or chiffon blouse ovér which it is worn, Many girls with mare time than money are making for themselves un- derwaists of lawn. to which are at- tached long, wide armhold sleeves of transparent crepe or /chiffon. Black, cream or sand color are the maost practical shades, as they wofk well into almost any color ' combination. Carried out in black, such an under- waist can be warn equally well with a plain blue serge dress, ane of black end white voile, or a semi-.evening frock of black. The combinatien of heavy and light weight washable fabrics, such as linen and organdie, or ratine and cotton voile, opéns a field for many inter- esting experiments which will result n the maximum effect for the min_ imum of 'time and expense. The joining of walsts #dnd skirt this sea- Bon presents no difficulties, as a sash or girdle is an attractive detail of al- most eévery costume. } .

The play when produced not so very long Ago was a huge success, and thé screen story contains all the elements that made the stage production such 4 decided success. The stellar rale {is taken care af by William Elliot, the character of the wayward youth, whose downward path is caused by wine and women, a role that calls for well sustained acting in long and difficult scenes which is excellently handled by him. Pick Seymour is fortunate in hav- ling a good father and a gcod girl for a sweetheart. Money is coming to him, but tempted by wine and wom- en on the great white way of New York he falls down badly. He goes to Paris where he goes from bad to iworse and later is accus€d of mur- der. His father and sweetheart re. main loyal to him and he is proved innocent of the crime. He sees the home. The action of the story is strong and intensely dramatic and the scene of the duel between two womeén on the market place in Paris where they struggle with flashing kifives is a most realistic bit of work, Augmenting the interesting pro- gram is the latest chapter of that fas- cinating serial “The Black Box” writ- ten by E. Phillips Oppénheim, and to- day’s Pathe News depicting in vivid and realistic scemes the latest views from the theater of war and the most important and most recent happen- ings our own country over. FORBES-ROBERTSON PARSONS’ THIS WEEK The “New York Sun” motion pic- tures of the European war will be shown at the Parsons’ theater, Hart. ford ,the first half of this week, with daily matinee, at popular prices. Fif- teen men braved the dangers of the conflict to get these views, which have more than 100 subjects and cover more than 7,000 feet of film. Neo adequate idea can be obtained of the horrors of the great war now being waged in Europe unless one can have brought before him the actual scenes of destruction and pillage, which these pictures adequately show. Theé views will be explained by g lec- turer. | Forbes-Robertson, the celebrated English actor, will be at the Parsons the last half of the week, appearing Thursday and Saturday evenings in “Passing of the Third Floor Back,” Friday evening in 'The Light That Failed” and Saturday afternoon in ‘“Hamlet.” LA TENA'S CIRCUS SHOWS TOMORROW La Tera's big wild animal circus will give two perforniances in this city on Tuesday, May 18, The show .is bright and clean and ovorflowing with genuine. arts of Wworth-while quality and is pleasing {to young and old alike, with its ex-! cgllent program of novel numbers, more than one of which will do credit ; fto & much more pretentious . show.
