LYCEUM, LABOR DAY On Labor day, with a matinee and night performance, the Russwin Lyceum will begin its regular fall and winter season with a new ?omedy drama in four acts, “My Lady's Gar- ter,” a dramatization of ° Jacques Futrelle’s widely-read novel by Mr. Lee Morrison. The action of the play, lowing the theme of the S SR I e closely fol- book, is anti-marriage for artists were applied | to the art world in general, it would be tu the detriment of art. ““And great artists have found this to be true.-Oh, no, there would be no need for hypocricy on their part. They wouldn’t need to pretend to be hap- pily married if they weren’t; they wouldn’t have to feign love for their children; for divorce is no disgrace and people even rather enjoy the spicy bits about their stars. Sarah Bernhardt is such a true artist, such a by woman—remember how proud she was, and still is, of her soup Kitch- en i Paris 'way back in other war days, in the early stage of her career? And we can't cast the slur on the at- tainments of Terry, Nordica, Schu- mann-Heink, Louis Homer, Gadski, and hundreds of others who have con- tributed so much not only to the en- joyment and enlightenment of a too dull sad world, but aiso to the domes- tic success of their own lives. All these women and others have proven them- selves not only great artists but de- voie¢ mothers and experts at domestic science. No Easy Task. “I don’t say that being a woman is easy. I don’t say that being the sort of wife who helps her husband to suc- cess and whose own personality is ovirshadowed by the lives of her fam- ily is not the most selfish and thank- less job in the world. But at that it's only awfully difficult for the woman of mediocre attainment and yet she must do it, for there's no other job. We can’t have drones any #ore than we can have hoboes. So, you see, the big woman can do it because she is bis—ahnd the ordinary woman because she’s little and must. “And now,” she was hurrying away to a rehearsal, answering the beckon- ing fingers of six or seven men who had been standing around for the full twerty minutes, “I'm sorry I have to run. But, dear me, when you have MISS MINNA GOMBEL, Leading Lady With “My Lady’s Gar- | ter” Co. at Lyceum. plentifully interspersed with dramatic situations. A wealthy New Yorker, who goes to almost any extremes in the collecting of antiques and art ob- jects; his daughter, a wild untamed creature who has her own ideas in the matter of matrimony; an English detective, of the Scotland Yard va- riety; an American detective, more blunt and less polite than his Eng- lish colleague; a notorious gentleman thief, known as The Hawk, and a young American of a decidedly ad- venturous spirit are the central figures in the fifteen characters that are in- volved in the plot. From the British Museum has been stolen the Countess of Salisbury’s gar- ter, an extremely valuable jewelled relic, which figured centuries ago in an historically romantic episode out of which was born Britain's highest and most coveted order of chivalry, the Order of the Garter. The wealthy art collector has purchased the stolen five ‘Twin Beds' ‘to make up every day—well, talk .about the life of a housemaid!” “OVER THE WIRE” {again stolen by The i Miss Elsie Glynn. garter from a ‘“fence,” but ' seeing trouble brewing for himself, decides to get rid of it. He places it on the mantle of a deserted house and noti- fies the police, but, just before they arrive at the designated place, it is Hawk, who, closely pursued by ‘the detective, eludes them in the grounds surround- ing the house of the garter's late pos- sessor, whose daughter, on that night, is about to elope with a young poet, the son of her father’s most hated business rival. The poet, found prowling about under the window which was to be an important factor in the elopement, is pounced upon by the sleuths, who search him and find in his possession valuable jewels, in- tended as wedding gifts for his bride. He is immediately placed under ar- rest. Many complications follow, amplified by the appearance later at the summer home of the young men, both fitting: the description of The Hawk, both surrounded by an air of mystery and equally tireless in i their efforts to win her. The cast includes Robert Dempster, Paul Everton, Wallace Worsley, Cecil Owen, Albert' Sackett, Louis Kimball, Robert Rogers, Harry Staf- ! ford, Louis Thiel, Harry Scarborough, i Leslie Hunt, Clyde Veaux, Miss Minna Gombel, Miss Louise Mackintosh and Seats now selling at Crowell’s. “THE,MIRACLE MAN” By DOROTHY CLARKE Well, at last Ruth is all ready. .....

BY POLI PLAYERS The opening of the winter season &t Poli's Theater next Monday after- noon brings to that theater one of George M. Cohan’s most recent as well as successful plays, “The Miracle Man”” It was on Monday, Septem- ber 5, 1914, that this play was first presented and, as usual, Mr. Cohan made the first production in Hartford Local playgoers well remember what a very decided success was scored by the play. The story of the play is based on the Frank Packard's story of the same title, and it is absorbing and intensely interesting from start tc finish. At the outset we see the “Miracle Man,” an elderly gentleman who possesses unusual powers to heal people of the community in which he lives. A trio of crooks ar- rive to capitalize the healing powers of the old patriarch, two “fake” in- dividuals being brought along for the purpose of being healed. By an unusual series of circumstances, ‘he crooks are attracted to the old man and even the leader of the gang is himself won over at the finish. The Poli Players will undoubtedly give the story an excellent in portrayal, for the characters lend themselves admirably to the various members of the com- pany. During the week the management will present a chest of silver to pat- trons of the theater who succeed in gathering in the largest number of seat coupons. There is already a widespread interest in the contest be- cause of the excellence of the sil- ver- On Tuesday afternoon there will be another of the popular stage recep- ter Goers and Women Readers tions. Miss MacAllister has become very popular during her engagement here with local theatergoers, and there are hundreds who will welconie the opportunity of meeting her per- scnally at the reception. Refresh- ments will be served as usual. The benefit concert Sunday evening brings, as the feature photoplay, White Sister.”” There will be a Chaplin comedy, and a dozen other ree!s Oof comedies and dramas, mak- ing a program as big as it is good. There is no admission charge but a. silver collection will be taken at the door, the proceeds to he devoted to local charitable work.

BESSIE BARRISDALE AT KEENEY'S THEATER a | Bessie Barrisdale, the well-known i actress will be featured for the last time at Keeney's theater this eve- ning in “The Rose of the Rancho.” This pretty little romance in five acts takes place in the wooly wild west. The scenes are very beau- tiful- and the life on the ranch is shown in a very vivid manner. Miss Barrisdale is assisted by a score of other good actors. Five first run general films will augment the picture s‘how, A set of dishes consisting of 42 pieces will be given away for the last time this evening. The three stellar vaudeville acts which have performed here all this week much to the satisfaction of the patrons of the theater will close their acts this evening.

And then we go to school in the school Wwe absorb the iesson that things that of experience work themselves out and gradually without our planning, or in spite of it, are somctimes just as satisfactory as those we plan.
