This important announcement made last night by Manager and Mr. Cross who have declded to give the people of New Britain one of the most pretentious productions ever put on in this city. The comedy is the sequel to the famous “Forty- five Minutes From Broadway,” which first made George M. Cohan a decided fixture as a writer of musical com- edles. The famous character “Kid” Burns' was first introduced in that play amd because of his slang and quaint expressions became a favorite the.nation over. In “The Talk of New York” “Kid” Burns is carried further along in his eventful life, he is polished and presented in a differ- ent atmosphere with flashy clothes, but with the same characteristics that marked him in the New Rochelle com- edy. Alfred Cross will play *Kid” Burns. Those who have seen Mr. Cross before in musical comedy know the ability of this versatile acto There.are few men on the stage today who possess so many accomplishments as Alfred Cross and there secems to be no limit to what he can do. He is a clever pilanist, sings well, and acts superbly. Associated with him in next week’s production will be many people of stage land who are well known in this city, who have appeared here before. Perhaps one of the best musical comedy stars who ever played before | a New Britain audience is young Philip Sheffield. It is not generally | known that for twelve years of his | theatrical career Mr. Sheffield devoted | all of his efforts to this form of on- tertainment. He has figured in some | of the biggestamusical comedy success- | es that were ever put on Broadway. | His singing voice suffered a set-back last year and for the much needed rest he joined forces with those who present the drama. This is his first | vear in stock. Now tHat the Alfred Cross players have decided to delve | into the land of music Mr. Sheflield shoula find a greater outlet for his‘ abilities. He will add materlally to the success of the production by his singing and dancing. And there are plenty of songs in this production to glve each and every member of the company something to do. Further more, all the songs pos that Iilt- was Lynch es MEN’'S HATS $2.00 l | AND SAY “CHARGE IT” AR WEEKLY Dress Up the Entire Family It can be done Women and Children, and suit your convenience. time to pay. mammoth stocks of correct apparel for Men, you may pay the bill in Weekly Payments to We offer you the BEST at every price—and a long from our MEN’S SUITS $§1 AN U2 Dresses MEN’S SHOES $3.50 UP.

The latest release of the famous star-is offered to theaters at a price almost.exhorbitant, owing to the new contract made with the funny ac- tor, which necessitates a tremendous advance in the rental charges, and 1 practically every city where “Carmen’ has been shown there has been a substantial jump in the admission price. Not so at Keeney's, however. | The management of this theater will| show the blg comedy without adding even a nickel to the regular admis- slon charges. The popularity of the comedian would make an advance permissible without criticism from the public and crowded houses would be | the rule anyway. Nevertheless the tickets will sell at the regular prices while the picture is on the program. The management has also contract- ed for the ™ew Hearst serial, “The Mysterfes of Myra” which will be shown in 15 episodes. This film is said to be even bigger than “The Strange Case of Mary Page” and many of the larger picture houses throughout the | country have arranged to show it to! the'r patrons. Topping the photoplay program to- night will be Charles Kent and Murlel Ostriche in “Kennedy Square” and | Frank Daniels in *“Mr. Jack, the Hash Slinger.” Saturday, the feature film will be, “Once a Thief” played by Bryant Washburn, Nell Craig and other Hs- sanay stars. MAY IRWIN COMING TO PARSONS’ THEATER | | | | } Winchell Smith and John E. Haz- zard have written a play that is full of life, has a gripping story and with- all breathes the doctrine of happine It is called “Like Mother Made”, and during the run of the comedy at the Parsons Theater this week it is fur- nishing clean amusement for thou- sands of people. “Like Mother Made’ which is now in its second week, is sure to prove one of the metropolitan successes of next season, and local | playgoers are lucky that they have had a chance to see it first. Needless to say the producers have furnished a competent company of players, many of whom are familiar to regular pa- jtrons of tne qrama in Hartford.

Although many photodramas ha heen written around plots dealing with the doings of royalty ang myth cal kingdoms “Bullets and Brown Eyes” in which Bessie Barriscale is starred, is declared to have set a new standard for this kind of pro- duction. Though this attraction fis said to be replete with thrills and tra gedy of battle, the author has laid stress on the fact that it is a romanec: and in the prepearing of the script, did | so with the idea of making the love | story paramount.
