If anybody ' wishes' an infallibie recipe for taking the Tomance out of life, I can recommend washing a pile of dishes which have been left over from the day' before, especially || i there be among them a number of pots and pans. Restoring irder to a “badly oluttered room Iis another glamour destroyer, but theo ‘| firset prize, I stoutly affirm, goes to the dishes. An especially aggravating ocollec- tion of romance shatterers awaited me the morning after our visit to the theater, and my encounter with Lil- lan Gale. The night before, when Dicky had gone away from the apartment in anger after our quarrel over the An- gora, I had sat brooding instead of Coing up my dinner work. Then when he had rushed in with the' theater tickets there had been no time to do ‘| more than hastily cover the food. “Ready?” “Oh, Not» The dining table still hela the un- eaten dessert, while the kitchen was unspeakably dreary with its piles. of sofled dishes. As we rented .a fur- nished apartment, the kitchen equip- ment was the rather scanty one that goes with such plapes. I had not yet added to it, and I found myself un- able to get breakfast 'until- I had washed the cookingiutensils from the night before. o Dicky likes a hearty breakfast, too. I cannot give him coffee and fruit, my morning meal the year round. He is 8 healthy animal, for which I am thankful, but I' ‘could have wished him less ravenous upon:this particular morning. I slipped out of bed early, mindful of Dicky's wish to get to the studio as soon as possible, tubbed and dressed- rapidly, and had just put the tea kettle on the gas stove wheh Dicky appeared at the door, Isn't breakfast ready?” was injured. “Re&dy!"

It's the best fun in play form that that wizard Cohan has yet written and its presentation here at the Lyceum tonight is awaited with much interest. “SINNERS” COMING TO LYCEUM THEATER ‘“Sinners,” by Owen Davis, the splendid Willlam A. Brady, Ltd., pro- duction that will be seen at the Ly- ceum next Thursday, October 7, is a play which teaches a lesson that should serve as a warning against the temptations of a great city and with- out in any sense of the word being a problem play, it can do a world of good to the girl who has a brain with which to think. It depends on no single strong scene as all are strong scenes, but rather upon its excellent plot and even interest. It is not fic- tion, ‘but a story from life, telling of the adventures of a young New Hng- land girl who goes to New York in search of work, and falling to obtaja employment falls in with a set of free and easy livers through her acquaint- ance with one of them, a girl from her own home town whom she meets in the street. In “Sinners” though one sees the seamy side of life in great American cities, one need not fear to bring either wife or sweetheart, as every situation is handled with the utmost delicacy, so that only the good stands out and gemains in the mind. One leaves the play with the unusual sat- Isfaction of having witnessed some- thing well done and worth while. The play is in four acts; the first being In a New York apartment, the home of Mary :Horton's friend, the other three acts in a little New Eng- land village where Mary’'s dear old mother lives. DARING ACROBATS ,PERFORM AT KEENEY'S Spectacular gymnastic feats, in- cluding clever hand and head balanc- ing, form an important feature of the act of Richards and Brandt, a pair of equilibrists, who are appearing at Keeney's this week. Their specialty is attracting considerable attention .and is getting the bulk of the ap- plause from the audience every day. The men are remarkable physical specimens, are aglle and skillful and their work measures up to that of any acrobats who have performed in fusion here. Just look at this kit- chen! If I can get breakfast ready ir less than an hour I'll be lucky.” “See You at Luncheon.” “An hour!” Dicky’'s tone, was tragic. “With my head all full of that cover, and my hands itching to get at/those sketches before I forgot how these people looked, you ask me to cool my heéls for an hour! I can’t do it, that's all. Never mind break- fast for me. I'll get something at that hash house near the studio. Stuff isn’t half bad, if you don’t have to go against it more than once a month.” I suppose I ought to have been properly impressed by this speech, and have evinced deep sympathy for the prospective victim of hash house food. Dicky’s tonme was plaintive and resigned, as if, detérmined to be a martyr, he would do the job thor- oughly. But I knew that the hash house was not his only resource. On his way to the studio he had to pass a very excellent little restaurant which made a specialty of breakfasts. There really was no reason the world why he should not get a meal there, when things were so upset at the apartment. I saw Dicky was a epolled child, and that he expected his wife to do a flying leap every time he happened to be in a hurry, regardless of whether it was convenient or neces- sary or not. I resolved to do a little hvsband training for my future com- fort. “I think that is a most ecxcellent idea,” I said cordially. “Then I can get this place cleared up in time to get you a nice luncheon. But you iknow you do not need to go to that ‘What's the mat- two blocks hash house, Dicky. ter with Clark’s cafe, down ?"" But Dicky's mood was perverse. “Any of them will do, I suppose,” he grumbled, “but if there is one thing I detest it is eating breakfast in a restaurant. I've done it so many years I'm sick of it. When we went to housekeeping I thought I never would have to do it again.” Dicky strode out of the kitchen and I turned back to the dishes, deter- mined to make the most of the stand I had taken, cost what it might. this city. The act is well worth see- ing. y Two other good numbers on the bill are Taber and Claire in an en- tertaining' singing and dancing num- ber and Lavine and Inman, who pre- sent the clever rural comedy sketch, “Sally’s Visit.” Two big photo-pla} features will be contributed tonight by the Kea- neyscope. The Selig special, ‘“House of a Thousand Candles” will be a wonderful picturization of the = cel- ebrated novel and it makes a splen- did “movie” feature. Another good attraction on the program is ‘“Fan- chon the Cricket,” in which Mary Pickford is starred. Bach of these require six long reels. It will be a big “movie” night at Keeney’s and the capacity of the * oream eolor laece with a house will no doubt be taxed early. “OVER THE WIRE” By DOROTHY CLARKE I'm so sorry you had to miss the first dance of the season ...........

The di- ! rector of this photo-play knew him when he was a bouncer in the fright- ful dive in which he refers in “My Mamie Rose”from which the William Fox screen play ‘“The Regencration’ was made and which play upoa the stage was Arnold Daly’s greatest suc- cess. Glance at this epitome of his life and wonder: 1864—Born in Catherine street, New York. Orphaned in his infancy and adopted by a childless couple. 1870—Became a newsboy in the gang of which Timothy D. Sullivan was the leader and learned to fight for himself in the New, York streets. 1880—A ‘“Beer-slinger” in a tough Bowery dive and a pugilst of more than local fame. His brutality made bim famous even in competition with the most brutal of fighters. 1894—DMet the little school teacher through protecting her from insult, who taught him to read and write and made a man of him. 1896—Left the dives l Fads and Fashions Light Havana brown is one of the good winter colors. where he A grate many flowers are secen on fluffy evening dresses. Fur bands and ribbon combine to form a novel trimming. Self-covered buttons are used both for silk and clcth frocks, " Some coats have full sleeves gath- ered into little bands of fur. Pointed velvet bells are seen on some of the new full coats. Gray krimmer makes a charming border to a sreen cloth coat. Gray is a popular shade. (It is combined with black or drak blue. Tufts of tulle and tiny roses are , used tc decorate debutantes’ gowns. Revers of dark cloth coats are often lined with ivory-white satin.

Sable fur is good used with al- most any of the fashionable colors— green, dark blue or Bordeaux. Narrow bands of velvet caught with a small plume at the side makes a becoming coiffuro for evening. The heavy old-fashioned silk known as gros 4e Londres often ap- pears as a skirt with a velvet coat.

Today's attractions are most de- lightful ones. “The Great Ruby,” the famous Drury Lane success, bristling with sensations and teeming with | action 'holds headline position. This photo-drama is replete with stirring situations and the spectators are held | on the very edge of expectation during ! the unfolding of the great story. Tho | second chapter of “Neal of the Navy,” which introduces “Brute Man,” is tensely interesting and those who are following this great American serial story will find plenty of food for deep thought. A Chaplin comedy, which is a veritable blues dispeller, today's Pathe News with its current events that are always interesting fill out the balance of the photo-play por- tion of the program. The Stradelli Four, exceptional vocal artists, have a splendid program of numbers blend- ing the operatic selections with the semi-popular so that they surely please lovers of both.
