She is an exceedingly clever woman, \as her past record | shows, and should meet with success in the Hardware City. Leona Court- ney, a winsome miss, is a dancing in- genue of no little fame. Belle Flower, whose voice is far ahove the average in quality and tone, is also numbered among the company, the management is pleased to announce. Lillian Brown ‘was an excellent choice because of her daneing and singing ability. Walter Wills is well known in the- atrcal circles through his connection with such companies ag “‘Stoop, L.ook and Listen” and George Pogues’ repu- tation was established by his work in ‘“Madam Sherry,” “Alma’ and “Spring Maid.” Other men in the company are Willlam Meehan, Ralph Sipperly, Franklyn Smith, Lae Daly, Joseph Lang and Stanley Dale. Andrean S. Perrin, under whose direction the shows will be produced, says he is confident he will be able to give New Britain the best of musi- cal comedies. The company is now rehearsing “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” which will open next Monday for a week: A splendld matinee will be given on Friday, December 1. BACK TO GRANDMA’S DAY FOR OUR STYLE MATINEE TOGS.

Anne Baxter (Miss Suratt) marries against her will. Later she finds that the man she had really loved is living happily with his own wife and she decided to break up the quiet and peace of their home. She tries to make the husband suspicious of his wife, but her efforts in this direction meet with failure. Her di- {rect attack on the husband’s heart meets with more success. The re- sults of these tactics bring ultimate unhappiness to this beautiful woman, and she only destroys the peace. and quiet of her own hearth. The char- acter of the woman as portrayed by Valeska Suratt has all the fire and vivid power of real life. In addi- tion to the above the nineteenth chapter of ‘“Gloria’s Romance,” fea- turing Billie Burke will be shown. This chapter is entitled “Her Vow Fulfilled,” and shows how Gloria at last unravels the perplexing mystery surrounding the murder of her flan- cee. The balance of the program will cffer the Pathe Weekly, with the last current news events for all parts of the world, the Cub comedy “Nearly a H featuring N Burns and America o OPERATIC STARS POPULAR-AT KEENEY’S Music lovers of the city are daily becoming more enthusiastic over the act of the Marco trio, Italian opera singers of unquestioned talent, who are numbered among the entertain- ers at Keeney’s this week. People interested in opera and classical se- lections are particularly pleased as the trio has in its repertoire, a number cf pieces from the big musical pro- ductions in addition to selections that have been made popular in recitals. They offer solos and numbers sung in trio and bring down the house at the conclusion of each selection. Fun is fast and furious while The Jay Circus is in progress. The act is a burlesque on the circus and it affords splendid chances to the com- pany to get in its comic features. The act goes big every night and it has received much favorable notice throughout the city, Frank Wilbur and company intro- duge many novel jugsling feats that interest the audience. John McKenna wins favor for his recitations ‘‘The Face of the Barroom Floor,” = at- iracting special attention. “Beatrice Fairfax” will be the leading film tonight. New chapters in this great newspaper production are promised for this evening and to- morrow. Friday and Saturday the leader will be “The Scarlet Runner,” the Vitagraph's great serial in which Earle Willlams is appearing. JOE HURTIG'S SHOW AT GRAND THEATER Frank Harcourt is co-starring with Billy oster this season in “The Bow- ery Burlesquers,” the splendid show at the Grand theater, all this week. The entire company is “going big” and the attractions is getting the crowds. The chorus is made up of twenty-four girls who ‘“put over” their numbers in first class style. Chas.. Jansen, a principal, is a Hartford boy, being born and raised on Russell street in this city. He left Hartford to join the Campbell's Nightingales and has alwa played in burlesque. The book of “The Bowery Burlesqu- ers” is made up of clean, snappy jokes from the pen of Frank Hatch. It is replete with bright lines and dialogue. There are pretty costumes and stage settings of an elaborate or- der. The two act comedy presented is entitled “At Lobster Beach.” There | are several good vaudeville specialties | throughout the action of the play. The production represents a large ex- penditure of money and is considered one of Joe Hurtig’s best. - | ers and Women Reade LOCAJ.

How Sut” I knew he was in the rarest good humor. It was an appellation playfully given to me by Dicky in the days of our courtship when he had nat yet dared to call me “Madge,” and wished to say something besides the formal “Miss Spencer.” It was a silly little name, eavally silly was the “Brother Bill;”” which at that time he had laughingly given himself.

The House Ts We started down toward the tiny station, which was the only building in sight. Ahead of us tripped the slight figure of the dark woman with the wonderful eyes, Who had sat in front of us on the train, and had given Dicky so marked a look of approval as to annoy me.

But it was the blue-eyed one that answered with a return query. “Are you Mr. Graham?" ) “Yes,” Dicky returned, impatientl “Well, Mr, Halpin telephoned this morning to see If mother could take| you.

In order that his ability might be displayed at its best at the coming concert, a special program of selected numbers has™ been arranged, among them the cele- brated concerto Bruch in G minor which will be with piano accompani- ment. Conductor Robert H. Prutting has worked zealously to make the inaugu- ration of the 1916-17 season a pro- nounced success. Seventy members will comprise the orchestra and the * program will include Beethoven's Eighth Symphony which is known as the “Little Symphony,” but is consid- ered by 'most musical lovers as the composer's best effort. Other num- bers will be Weber's “Invitation to the Dance,” and Halvarson's, “Tri- umphal Entry of the Bolars.” The afternoon performance will commence at 2:30 o’clock and the evening at 8:15 o'clock.
