From the first curtain to the last the audience is kept in a state of hilariousness. It just cannot be helped. One must laugh at the antics of the seven participants in the comedy. No gainsaying this, you must see “Twin Beds” to appreciate the sheer joy of it. Its charm is lost in the telling. And yet it is but the simple story of three couples,—Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Signor and Signora Monti, and Mr. and Mrs. Larkin,—who live in the same fashionable apartment house, but on different floors. Through a mistake on the part of the Signor there is developed a sudden neighbor- liness between the three couples which id, “I have persuaded .real mothers to adopt clothing for their ce of swathing them ges, according to the jm. - One little girl came pne day to say that her to make any change clothing. ‘I'm sorry, , ‘but you can’t come to _that's so,’ and the child for it was Wer turn d undress the baby doll hg day she came back to ¥ mother had consented to ht best.

Too much neighborliness. Virginia Fairfax covered herself with honors as the wife of Signor Monti. . As a slang artist Miss Fair- fax has few, if any, equals. Except for a poor carrying voice, which was difficult to understand on this side of the footlights, Katherine Daly fur- nished some delightful comedy as the wife of Harry Hawkins. And Harry himself was well taken care of by Hamilton Mott, . R. M. D’Angelo had no difficulty in being cast for the part of Signor Monti. He seemingly was made to order, and the house last night appreciated this fact, for every move of the Signor ' brought forth spasms of laughter. Margaret M. Al- len played the part of Amanda Davis who later turned out to be the wife of Andrew Larkin. The part of Mr. Larkin, one of the participants in the apartment house mix-up, was played admirably well by Thomas H. Mann- ing. Mrs. Manning took the part of Norah. 2 ¥ In all “Twin Beds” is a delightful, clean comedy. It is replete with happy situations and snappy, witty lines. “THE ARGYLE CASE” AT POLI'S THEATER The tenseness of the scenes in “The Argyle Case,” liobert Hilliard's great success, in which the Poli Players are appearing this week at Poli’s thea- ter, Hartford, make it one of the most absorbing plays of the present day- The story would be robbed of much of its interest if told in advance but those who have seen it:deciare it to be one of the most absorbing that the Poli Players have presented. The characters are all strong, the ilines are snappy and the whole story one that holds the undivided interest of those in the audience from its start to the .very finalee Robert Hilliard made one of the notable suc- cesses of his career in this remark- able play, playing the role of the great detective with charm and Mr. Hollingsworth, the popular leading man of the Players, is likewise giv- ing it a masterly presentation. Mr. Hilliard put the part on level than that of the average stage detective and Mr. Hollingsworth is holding it to the high standard which Mr. Hilliard created. Miss Billy Long is convincing in her strong role ani is adding to her local popularity. In the big scenes of the play she adds force through her accomplished act- ing and much of the success of this week’s production is /due to her ex- cellent work. The other members of the company are well cast and all help in making ‘‘The Argyle Case,” a notable production and one that ranks with the best successes of ths present company’'s career in Hartford. | Next week the Players will be scen in “The House of a Thousand Can- dles,” one of the current successc It tells an absorbing story and hax a most pleasing ending.

But as picturized by Mr. William Fox, it is seen in a new form. Apoiph D’Ennery, the wuthor of this world- famous drama, would hardly recog- nize his play as produced for the screen so vital and virile a thing has it become through the skilled direc- tion of Herbert Rrenon and the won- derful effects of studied camera work and production. With Mr, Brenon himself as Pierre and Theda Bara and. Jean Sothern as the two sisters, the cast of principals could hardiy be stronger. Few there are who 1o not know the story of “The Two Or- phans” but it so universally appeal- ing that it will bear retelling briefly. Henrietta (Theda Bara) and Louise (Jean Sothern) are two or- phans. Henrietta is vividly beautiful and Louise, while equally fair to look upon, is blind. On the death of their parents in a French Province, they are sent to Paris where an uncle has promised to provide for.them- On their arrival in the Capitol, Henrietla who has attractec the eye of the ras- cally Marquis De Presles is abducted by his orders. Lcuise falls into hands of Mother Frochard, a professional beggar. Mother Frochard has two sons, Jacques, a swaggering hand- some daredevil, too proud to work, and Pierre, a hunch-back who earns an honest living as a knife-grinder. In the squalid collar that the Fro- chards call”home Louise is terrified by the unwelcored attentions paid to her by Jacques. Pierre on the other hand does all in his power to protect the blind whaif. Meanwhile Henrietta, has been taken to the Marquis’ chateaa. Frightened by her experiences and half mad with apprehension, she appeals to the as- sembled guests, one of whom, Che~ now, 8755 Six Gored Skirt, 24 to 36 waist, Here is a new six gored skirt.

Househ_?ld lywes Serge dresses in which part of the dress is of silk are much more at- tractive than those of serge alone, and equally suitable for general wear. Silk jersey waists are of bright colors—rase, garnet, light green, royal purple, French blue, and so on. As a rule they are of a military char- acter. An adjustable dress of black vel- vet can be wern for afternoon or eve- ning—simply remove the lace edging, the corsage and fill in neck and sleeves with a satin guimpe.

POLPSTHEATER R Y v SIDE @ RUTH Luck “There is no such thing as luck,” I heard a New Thought lecturer de- clare the other evening. Like Grizel of “Sentimental Tommy"” fame, who rocked her arms in church because she couldn’t get up and contradict the minister when she though he was wrong, I writhed ir my chair. For of all the high-sounding, empty-meaning fallacies that creep into the beautiful New Thought philosophy none irritates me like the idea that there is no such thing as luck. What is luck, anyway? Well, according to the dictionary, it is Can anyone stand up and say that chance dosen't play some part everyone's life? hance. in Wasn't This “Bad Luck”? Take an absolutely simple example. I was finishing up some errands in a hurry the other day. Three times I arrived at an elevator shaft Jjust ‘as the eclevator had started up, and had to wait two or three minutes. That delay made me just miss a trollev: the trolley I did catch was de- layed two or three minutes by a stalled auto; and I reached the station just in time to see my train roll out. Now wasn't that a string of chances running against me? Was I in any way to blame? Could even the most ardent believer in no such thing as luck blame those accidents on any defect of character? I defy him. They were just chance—simon pure chance. Of Course Bad Luck Is An Overworked Excuse. Mind you, I do not deny that luck is a much abused word. blame many things on luck that are due to their own carlessness, inac- curacy and what not. A neighbor of mine told me last year that she “never had any luck with seeds.” This spring she happened to be with me when I was planting my seeds. The directions bade me to cover the seeds with loose earth and then press it down with a board. I was hunting for a board when the neighbor who never has any luck with seeds drop- ped over. ‘“Dear me,” she said, “I never bother over them like that.” And then I understood her lack of luck. Again,, the man who grumbles his neighbor’s “luck” in getting some excellent position into which said neighbor has really worked and fought his way is certainly abusing the word. But that does not mean there isn't any luck in business, Don’'t Go To The Other Extreme. Because some people blame things to luck that are really their own fault is no excuse for going to the cther extreme and shouting that there is no such thing as luck. ‘I have a hazy idea that once when I was young and foolish I wrote gemething along that line myself, because it sounded well and was easy to illustrate with examples of people who call their follies bad luck. If 1 Gid and some faithful readédr friend happened to remember that talk, People There is! will he please consider that I have evacuated that position and not try e O “QVER THE WIRE” to attack me with my own words.

Good-bye. “A Texas Steer,” the popular wes- tern comedy, produced by the Lubin company, will be the special photo- play attraction at Keeney’s tonight and tomorrow. It is a Big Four feature and the management expects it will draw a capacity house this evening when it will be shown in this city for the first time. In the comedy, Tyrone Power plays the leading role. He is supported by a comany of screen actors of recognized ability. When the piece was played before the camera, every attention was given to detail and a tremendous amount was cxpended in its production. In the cities where it has been presented it scored a pronounced hit and enter- prising managers throughout the en- tire country are bidding high to land for their respective playhouses. Another big feature for tonight will be ‘Niobe,” featuring Hazel Dawn, one of the most popular mem- Liers of the Famous Players company. The Pathe animated newspaper will 2lso be shown. For Friday and Saturday, the head- liner will be: “Help Wanted.” 1In its dramatized form, this piece was a big success and it had a big Tun on the legitimate stage. s Numbered among the vaudeville acts this week is Dunninger, the cele- brated eonjurer. This performer is widely known as an illusionist, his cabinet mysteries having = attracted the attention of scientists throughout the entire country. Others on the bhill are Dixon and Murphy in “High Finance,” and Haynes and Baldwin, presenting a song and conversatioal | number that is very interesting. Fine! Short Sea Trips Old Point Comfort, Va.
