At one place during h trip she encountered a disastrous story “The washout. On their return to the place | to take the picture, it was found the road and bridge had been replaced and it was thought another would have to be secured. During the night prior to their departure, an- other cloudburst came and washed the bridge away again. The next day they were able to secure the ne exactly it happened ori- ginally. Booked as the as added attraction, charming Dorothy Gish, supported by Owen Moore, the husband of Mary Pickford, will be seen in “Little Mee- na’s Romance,” a love affair between a poor little Dutch girl and a baron salesman of patent clothes-wringers. which carries the audience through a series of most magnificent situ tions, both amusing and entertaining. The Paramount Pictograph, with its treatment on better babies and other educational features and “His TLast Laugh,” a roaring and thrilling two- reel Keystone comedy, frame an evening’s entertainment, that should please every lover of the silent art. AT PARSONS' THEATER Oscar Strauss's tuneful opera bouffe “The Chocolate Soldier” will be the offering of the Opera Players at Par- sons’ theater Hartford this week, and it should prove even more popular than the two delightful operas that have precided it during the present summer season. “The Chocolate Sol- dier” not only has a story that is effervescent with comedy, but it set to a musical score declared many to be the best that the “waltz king” has ever composed for tha light opera stage.

Hr. Huff has been specially en- gaged to sing the part of Lieutenant Bumerli, the funny Swiss soldier, who has an old and plcturesque adven- ture with three Bulgarian women while escaping from the enemy. Mr. | Boyle, of course, will be the pompous Captain Maskakroff, fierce of appear- ance and awe-inspiring in action. Tlorence Webber will sing the prima donng, rofe of Nadina Popoff, wha falls in love with the Swiss soldier; Lillian Ludlow will be Mascha, Roger Gray will play Colonel Popoff, James Hornberger will be the vain-glorious Alevius Aurelia. “THE STORY OF THE ROSARY” AT POLI'S The first performance of “The Story of the Rosary” the Poll Players took place at Poli's theater, Hartord this afternoon. In the “Stor of the Rosary” the audiences be treated to a full mcasure of mel- odrama, but it is the sore of melo- drama that s the best and the brand that holds an audience spellbound from start to finish. War furnishes the basis of the story of the play and war is in the air everywhere at pr ent.
