BRODRIB & WHEELER 138 Hallinan Building £ VQF FLYING KEELERS AT KEENEY'S THIS WEEK Acrobats ‘and aerials, who have been on “big time” all winter, are among the members of the troupe of Flying Keelers, an aggregation which is to be numbered among the spe. cial attractions on the bill at Keeney's The act is said to be one of the most sensational tumbling specialties on the vaudeville stage and critics in metropolitan ° cities have praised it highly. On the trapeze and bars, the Keelers are said to be without peers. They are noted par- ticularly for their daring and their best features are spectacular whirls and dives. The management has been advised .by the booking agents that the attraction is one of special merit. If “it approaches the rating given by the New York offices it will, no doubt, cause a furore in this city. Another week of Fields and Fields and their Hoity Toity girls is prom- ised the patrens of the playhouse. This pair of comedians and their clever supporters are now on. the fourth week of their second engage- ment in New Britain. They have reached & high place in the affections of lacal theatergoers, who have en- joved tremendously their ridiculous but funny antics and their original humor. An entirely new show has been provided for them for this week. It is said to be the most amusing comedy in which they have appeared. Van and Davis will be seen in a light, but entertaining song and dance specialty. They are /(first class vau- deville artists and their act should be exceedingly popular. The Mabel Morgan troupe of oper- atic singers and Spanish dancers is also expected to be a big number. The entire show is built for sum- mer entertainment. The attractions are af “seasonable” charaeter. The Pathe Daily as well as, the Hearst-Selig review will be on the motion picture program night. Other good pictures will also be shown. On Thursday and Friday, Francis X. Bushman, the idol of the motion pic- ture devotees, Wwill be seen in the jeading role in ‘‘Graustark,” ‘a pic. turization of the fazgous novel of the same name. COHAN'’S BRIGHTEST FARCE AT POLI'S Hartford ‘theatergoers méver fail to take especial notice when a George M. Cohan play in announced for local production, which makes it reasonably sure that the coming week at Poli’s theater will be one of unusual interest for. Mr. Cohan’s brightest farce with music, “The Little Millionaire,” is the attraction in which the Pol Players wil be seen. Mr. Cohan scored a tre- mendous hit with this play and local playgoers have a\mxed the stamp of approval upon it.' It 18 now presented for the first time in stock and for the first time at popular prices. ‘‘The Lit- tle Millionaire” was originally a near- musical comédy, a chorus, but = Mr. Cohan, shortly after the play was pro- duced, came to the conclusion that a chorus interrupted the farce itself and he withdréw the chorus, and it is in this form that the Poli Players will present it this week. The story is one of romance; double romance if you please, bécause there are two love steries running through- out the play. The Players are well equipped to present ‘‘The Little Mil- lionaire” MrgHollingsworth will be seen in' the lous: role of Mr. Costi- gan, while Eugene Desmond will be young Spooner. ,The part of Spooner, sr.,, will be portrayed by Ben Mac- Quarrie. Miss Skirvin will be Goldie Gray and Miss Lestina will be Mrs. Prescott, Goldie's aunt. Mr. Seabury will have opportunities for theé intro- duction of comedy in the role of the policeman, and others in the play in- clude Maurice Dower, Miss Dalton and Miss Moore. The play will be adequately mounted. There will be matinees and evening performances daily throughout the week and the regular scale of popular price will prevail. BEN GREET PLAYERS GIVE BENEFIT AFFAIR The Ben Greet Woodland Players will -appear on Wednesday next on the grounds of the Hartford Golf club at Hartford, for the benefit of the Red Cross. The performances of this company are given with all the beauty and simplicity sv in keeping with a sylvan setting and everywhere the novelty of the presentation has added much to the pleusure and in- terest felt in the productions. The plays to bé given here have been se- lected espcially for their fitness to cut-of-door presentation and nothing lovelier can be imagined than plays of the great master being ®iven in nature's settings for which so many of his plays were originally written. The night effect on the woodland stage is weirdly beautiful. The lights and shadows on the trees in the back- ground produce an almost unreal aspect, so fantastic are the shadows cast on the scene, The grounds of the Hartford Golf club will furnish a most attractive setting for the plays, which will be Shakespeare’s comedies: “As You Like It” and “Midsummer Night's Dream.” The former will be given at § o'clock in the afternoon and the latter at 8:30 in the evening. Should the weather prove unpleasant, how- ever, complete arrangements have been, made for the performances in Foot Guard hall, and if this alterna- tive is made 1necessary. notice will he sent to the Tlerald on Wednesday morning, so that ali holders of tickets may get the information by applying to us. > 4 Tickets are now on sale at the store of Sedgwick & Casey at 139 Asylum street, Hartford and as a large num- ber of seats have already been sold, we would advise all who wish to see the plays to secure tickets as early as possible. :All seats are reserved by number and precisely the same seat- ing plan will be observed, whether the plays ar egiven at the club grounds or. in Foot Guard hall.

PINKUS Eresight Spectalist and Optician, ! problem ‘What is Woman Able to Do?” Asked Now Instead of “What is She Suitable For?” Mrs, Alice Duer Miller Thus Sums Up the Advance Which Feminism Has Made in Changing Attitude Toward Recognjtion That Women Are People. ' ‘ What is it suitable for a woman to do’'? That used to be the questiin which was asked when occasion arose. Now they ask, ‘What is shé able to do?" " Apd thus Mrs Alice Duser Miller summed up the advance which feminism has made. And then she deéfined féminism. “Feminism is the effort to téest séx limitation. The object of this test is to determine which limitations are true and which are false, and to do away with the ‘false.” She further explained, “Feminism would not force any woman to do anything. It does not presume to assert that she should, ought, or has the right to do anything. It merely allows her to find eut for herself.’ For nearly two years Mrs. Miller has been asking, “Are Women Peo- ple?” in the woman's pages of the Sunday Tribune. She has delighted a host of people with the sparks of her keen satire, which are at the same time so dighified and so incon- trovertibly logical that they never evoke opposition. Well-Turnéd Phrase, “Are Women People?” came out | Saturday in book form. And in it Mrs. Miller is epigrammatic, pithy and mathematically logical as she constitutionally must be. She is ant to commence an interview with an' epigram feministic, and then, passing- from pinnacle to pinnacle, drag her listeners and readers with her until they realize that movements, emo- tions and results are to be achieved through words, and that after all the 'only solution for a problem is a well-turned phrase. One asks her, vaguely or indefinite- lv, to talk on woman and the war; She arises from her séat and, saunt- ering over to the old-fashioned man- tel of her old-fashioned living room with a tread that is a little too mo- dern to be what the movelists des- cribe as pantherine, leans her elbow on the marble slab. She is very tall and slender, humorous and aristo- she asks, in her rather deep voice. “War, you know, has never had the prestige among women that it has had among men.” And therewith she raised war and man’s regard for it to an intellectual status. The firm ground of emotionalism was swept Vviolently from undeér one's feet, and one was left to regard In bewilderment the spectacle of a’ fa- tion calmly and sesthetically select- ing warfare as a modus vivendi. Women Can Fight. “Women can fight, T suppose, but it is rather a pity to waste them in that fashion, 1 should imagine.” Merely a of mathematics. “Are Women People?” is, after all, merely a mathematical stunt also, 'albeit a very entrancing one. Mrs. Miller, it may be stated, is at heart a mathema- tician when she is not a feminist and a suffragist, or rather while she is the latter, for it is said an artist never loses himself in philistinism. She was graduated from Barnard college with a scholarship in mathematics, and several flattering offers to con- tinue in her chosen work. And since then shé has been studying the pro- sTess of wormanhood, adding and sub- tracting and multiplying while the less optimistic have thought division necessary. She commenced her pres- ent book as a sort of first aid to suffrage speakers, desiring merely to point out to them and to any others who might be interested in the contra- dictions, the inconsistencies and the absurdities which are rife on the woman question. This, too, was more or 1éss a question of mathematies, with working rules laid down by her wide study of the question, “The one big step in the vindication cf woman as a member of the genus ‘man’ was the granting of education to her. In early New Emgland days she was often allowed to receive pri- wary education for two hours, during a period when her learning would not interfere with that of the boys. So the kind-hearted professor would im- part learning to her from five until seven in the morning. Later it be- came impossible to withnold from her 41l knowledge, and she becamie part of the school system. But she was harassed throughout by the fear of knowing too much and becoming un- womanly, and was retarded and cheated of the desire to learn by this | psychological prohibition. Ideal of Triue Féminity. “But now, since we know that Florence Nightingole, who at her time was considered to be the boldest, most unwemanly of faminines, is in reality our ideal of true feminity, we know that standards, about womeén as about everything else, are transitory. No one now talks of the unfeminine character of a woman's desire to ac- | cemplish. He merely argues that she cannot do it. Therefore, while she tas most educativé rights, she is still debarred from professional institu- tions. Harvard and Columbia, for example, will not admit her to their | law coursés. She may not be a physician, according to certain other institutions. All that she nas to now | is to prove herself capable, and the | last argument of the anti-feminists will automatically disappear. “Shé has her greatest obstacles to overcome in the legal world, In two- thirds of the states, for example, she is not legally a parent. Her husband may be quite foolish, and being so may decide to send his son to a spot | for which e is patently unsuited. But . "“OVER THE WIRE” By DOROTHY CLARKE.

Potent Legal Advance. “A very potent legal advance which she made was when the property law was passed. That gave her the right to own her property. And even that was passd because the fathers did not trust the sons-in-law, not because they thought independence was at all necessary to the female. In most states a woman may have her own earnings. But there are still a few in which her husband may g0 to her employer and claim her salary.” Mrs. Miller then spoke of the dis- trust which women still have for one another, and found it easily explain- able, and now almost ready to disap- pear. The first cause is that women aren't at all acquainted wita one an- other, For example, the camaraderie that exists between men is found as a rule only in one class of women. You know, originally it was thought desrable to send youths to college where they might form . delightful friendships. But women were segre- gated and forcibly preveénted from knowing one another, lest they be- come less efficient mothers. Women are just beginning to awaken to taeir own reality. But Sex Competition. “The second cause is really a sur- vival. Feor it is but sex competition. Men are apt to be severer toward their own business rivals than to a man in another trade or profession. And formerly women had only one profession. They were all hitter riv- als. Now there are others, and taey will regard each other approximately as men regard one another.” 4 Mrs. Miller smiled then. “Some wo~ men try to point out the superiority of women to men. But that is be-. cause they feel that man is a widow- er who hag a large group of children to take care of. He will not ecall in ‘nis sister to help, and is doing his job very badly. Naturally she thinks he is stupid and stubborn. Man is now really in that state, for economic con- ditions have forced the wife out of the field as a helper and have thrust nine-tenths of the care of the home on the shoulders of the man. He must be persuaded that he needs help. And he is proving malleabie. He is learning that women are really people.” . | BUILDER OF BRIDGES ATTRACTION AT FOX'S Today ushers in at Fox's another program of gigantic entertaining qual- ities in the presentation of C.
