In conjunction with the pres- entation ‘of ‘“‘Adelaide.” Mr. Bisp- ham and his company of actor-musi- cians will offer a miscellaneous con- cert called ‘“The Rehearsal.” Henri Barron, the distinguished Russian tenor, who will appear with Bispham, ‘was the first to sing Puccini’s opera, “The Girl of the Golden West,” in Bnglish.

Weigle the staff pho- tographer of the Chicago Tribune has astonished the world with his wonder- ful pictures of the present war. From a moving picture standpoint and for general interest they cut shine any- thing that the public has already seen in that line. These pictures will be seen in this city at the Lyceum theater on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. They are shown here direct from their New York exhibition at the 44th street theater where they have drawn thousands of people dur- ing the past weeks so great have been the crowds that on several occasions the police have been commissioned to keep order on the wating lines which sometimes extend for over a quarter of a mile in length. During the presentation of these pictures, which is of six reels duration, the onlooker visits the battlefields of many celebrated encounters. Mr. Ed- win F. Weigle spent eight days with the Germans and Austrians in th_e French battle lines. Then from His Excellency Field Marshall Von Schley- er 'he secured permission to go to the Galacian battle lines. En route he stopped at Vienna, where he saw train loads of wounded coming from' the battlefields. He was Tarnow when the Teutons broke through the Russian lines and ‘during Mhe battle stood in the trenches which the Teutcn troops had occupied for three to five months. He accompanied the Austrian army on their wonéerful {mniles from ' Tarnow to i which was covered in tw ! and he accompanied the victorious | mous fortress of Pryzemysl, All these incidents are vividly depicted no the | screen during the presentation of | {hese pictures.

Savage's pro- tion of the dramatic spectacle verywoman,” which will be _ dis- | closed at the Lyceum Friday evening, { October 29th stands alone. No other { manager would have attempted to | present with a traveling organization a ) spectacle so massive. Not a feature i which was used with this production | during its two years' run in New York has been eliminated. In addition to the large number of people required to work the” mechanical and electri- cal effects of the production, an en. tire symphony orchestra is carried by | the company. The music, which was | composed by George Whiteficld Chad- wick, dean of the New England Con- servatory of Music, of Boston, re- quires an intelligent and careful rendering to bring out all its beauties and only skilled musicians, after weeks of strenuous rehearsals, ars competent to play it. The organiza- tion is equipped with two car loads of scenery and mechanical effects. The company includes a grand opera and a musical comedy chorus, in addition to the large dramatic ensemble, “Everywoman" is, in fact, com- mingling of the more attractive fea- tures -of opera, musical comedy and drama. While it amuses and furnishes entertainment which may be under- stood and enjoyed by anyone, it also promulgates a moral lesson of ines- timable value. Mothers, upon seeing the play, have brought their daugh- ters to it to impress upon them a les~ son they could not otherwise impart. Clergymen of all creeds and beliefs have found food for reflection in it and have endorsed it in most emphatic terms. TIn London it met with as en- thusiastic a reception as it has had in this country Seats at Crowell's. POLI PLAYERS IN MAM'ZELLE FASHION A musical production that will not only hold the attention of the audi- ences by its interesting plot, and snap- py, tuneful musical numbers, but will ions, will be “Mam’Zelle Fashion,” This show will be presented at the Poli’s theater twice daily, this week. A chorus of Hartford beauties has been added to the regular company. There will be specialties throughout the play, which evolves around the | efforts of Mam'Zelle Fashion to pe- | come a comic opera star. How she is | aided by a friend who wants to make the wife of an elderly unloved man, ingenue, Miss Fayette Perry, carry the title role. ‘‘Miss Perry vivacious and very pretty. Also she | dances and sings in a most charming way. Her violent love making to old Tupper, and the resultant when Tupper’'s wife -discovers her hubby in the arms of the French mil- liner, provide much of the comedy for the piece. Miss Perry's $500 Chinese poodle will have a part in this week's production, too. The great fashion parade will be interesting, with the latest fall and winter styles on living { models, parading out over the heads of the audiences. The show will be staged in three acts and seven scenes. | Women attending today’'s matinee will i be_given boxes of Samoset choco- will my when they marched into the fa-| reveal the very latest word in fash- | | jealous, is interesting.

Madge! What do you mean? - You are not afraid of me, are you?” Dicky's voice, half-anxious, half- indignant, came through my locked door As I heard it, [ felt ashamed of the panic of fear which had caused me to rush into my bedroom and | barricade my door, when I saw Dicky, half-intoxicated, come toward me. But if my fright was lessening, my anger was increasing. Dicky had rushed off to Lillian Gale's affair be- cause of a quarrel we had had over our household finances. I had not expected his return until nearly morning. But shortly after midnight he and Harry Underwood, Lillian’s husband, had driven up in a taxicab. Harry had remained downstairs, but Dicky had come up in an almost maudlin conlition, to beg me to re- turn with them to the party. The very sight of a drunken man has al- the croésed the room toward me, and I realized that he was going to em- brace me, I fled in unreasoning terror to my room I stood silent and trembling be- hind my door, while Dicky stormed and entreated outside. “Let me in, Madge,” he command- ed. “I'm not going to hurt you, but I'm your husband. I want to talk to you, and I'm not going to do through any door.” I do not know whether disgust or anger was the stronger feeling with me. This certainly was a new phase of my marriage, this parleying with a drunken husband. “Just Open the Door.” “I shall not let you in.” My tone was icy. “Nor shall I talk to you while you are in the condition you are in now. Please go away."” “What d've mean. What con- dition?” Dicky’s volce was surprised and injured. “What's the matter with my condition. TI'q like to know?" He paused, evidently expecting a reply, but I was resolved to speak to him only if it seemed a necessity. He waited for a moment, then a sudden thought appeared strike him, and he exclaimed: “I know what's the think I'm drunk. Now Madge, you're mistaken. Everybody else at the party except Lil and Harry and me are drunk. And Lil and Harry they're just a little upset, but I am all right. See here, I'll tell you what to do. You just open this door and smell my breath. You wouldn’t think I was drunk if you could smell my breath Jjust once.” The absurdity of this proposal, when the whole room from which I had. fled seemed pervaded with the odor of spirits, appeared to strike even Dicky’s muddled understanding, for he finshed his appeal with a distinct chuckle. “Good thing she didn’t cover that bet,” he half-whispered to himself as I still remained silent. I wondered what crazy proposal he | would utter next. Evidently he ap- peared to be thinking things out. I heard him wandering about the room, his stick striking against the chairs and tables as he unsteadily passed between them. Finally he came back to my door again, and struck it a violent blow. Good-bye, Little Cross Girl. “See here, my lady,” he said harsh- ly. “I'm not going to do any ‘Bought and Paid For’ stunt here, breaking in my wife's locked door, but I want to know rignt now, are you going back to Lil's with Harry and me or not " “I certainly am not’ I made my words as emphatic as possible. “Go back yourslf, or go to-bed,- or ‘-do ~smetimg™ “bestde~~ stamding —-outsite to matter, you REVELATIONS( By ADELE GARRISON ways terrified me, so that when Dicky | it ; F A WIFE that door making a nuisance of your- self” The thought came to me that my voice and words were much the same as a fishwife might use to her erring spouse. Truly, life with Dicky was | not conducive to the preserving of j life's little refinements, 1 braced myself for one of explosions of temper, but enough, none came. Evidently liquor made Dicky good-natured instead of ugly. He did not reply for & minute or two. Then he drew a long §igh. “That’s what a man gets for trying i to be a good fellow,” he said mourn- fully. “Feel awful sorry for little wife sitting alone, leave nice lively | party to come after her, get door {slammed in my face. That's fine, | that ig. ‘Guess I'll do this again. Yes? No?” What I'll ever say to old Harry,” he went on, “and that taxi driver, | whee'— ee! tha taxi driver, he'll have a nice little fortune by the time he gets through with us.” He walked to the door of the living room and I heard him open it. Then his volce came back loud and clear | across the two rooms: i ‘Good-bye, little croes girl I'm go. |ing to have a real jag by the time I see you again.” Katiec Comes to Comfort. The door closed, but I did not open mine. 1 did rot know what notion he would take next He migat come Even as Y Out of three articles ordered, deliveryman had brought [left one behinad scolding about it. “I should make them send it right up now,” said the visiting lady, ly. “You're sure you ordered it?" “Yes,” sald the housewife, soften- ing, “but I don’t think Ill do that. That would probaly send it, but it would mean an extra trip for the deliveryman and it's a quarter of six now. It may have been the order clerk’s mistake and it's too bad to make the delivery clerk suffer. I can get along without the salad dressing tonight. TI'll tell them in the morn- ing and ask them to be more careful.” What made her have so much for- bearance? you may be wondering. She Has Sympathetic Imagination- Well, the is one of those people with the rare gift of sympathetic im- agination. She sometimes makes mistakes her- self and she likes to be treated ler- fently, and when others inconven- ience her by mistakes she has enough sympathetic imagination to remember that they feel just as she does, and tc control her natural impulse to blame them and make them suffer On another occasion she admitted to me that if she received too much change or w undercharged for an | article, or v in any similar way advantaged by a clerk’s mistake she | always went drawing the attention of the manager iried to fix the mattor | up. “Aside from the honesty end of | it,” she explains, ‘“clerks are some- | times docked for mistakes, and I wouldn’t want to gain at the expense the two and The housewife was sharp- Fd Qu Dicky's curiously s o g POMBEIAN OLIVE OIL ALWAYS FRESH: PURE -SWEET AWARDED GOLD MEDAL SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION Underwpod with him. table and bed really was the childish back and bring 1 pushed the back in their y heartily ashamed terror that had made me push them against the door—and lay down to wait for whatever tht morning would bring me. $ But I was not to remain uncomfosly er, however. The door had closed after Dicky but a few minutes when a timid knock sounded on my door, and I heard Katle's excited voice ‘Oh, Miss Graham, dear Misses Graham, are you all right?” ‘Quite all right, thank you, Why are you out of bed?" “Oh! please, Missis Graham, come¥ out here where I can see you. I so scared for fear you scared at Meestery Graham. I shake in my bed. Please come out here.” Katie's voice held a threat of tears that I did not care to disregard. 1 had enough scenes for one night. I unlocked my door and came out, to be seized by Katle's warm hands. “Oh, 1 so glad you all right,” sh exclaimed, evidently reassured by m} appearance. I so 'frald you scared of Meester Graham.
