According to the best available, Fred Irwin’s Big Show, which is seen at the Grand Theater all week, is a show, with a supstan- ial plot. This, in itself, is some- what out of the ordinary for bur- esque, which generally depends en- irely on its musical hits, dancing, sets and comedy work.

She held out her hand as the said whimsically, 1 think you unfriendly. Good night.” “Till our next talk,” AT Te Mistakes of one sort or another are an inevitable part of daily living. “The only people who make no mis- takes are dead people,” says Wayland. “I saw a man last week who has not made a mistake for four thousand years. He was a dummy in the Egyptian department of the Museum.” And one of the most valuable men who ever lived, namely Gladstone, confesses, “No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.” The Only Way to Defeat Failure. The only way to defeat failure is to make of it a rung on the ladder of success. And the only way to do this, as we have often been told, is not to make the same mistake twice. We hear that warning frequently, and it is an excellent one. But there is another which is just as necessary Don't be afraid of making the same mistake, that you fly off on a tan- gent and make the opposite mistake. I have some friends who bought house a few They Bought in a Hurry. They had to move from the apart- ment they were occupying: they saw this house, they liked some things about it .

The Pendul um Swings and so, without making any systemat- ic search, without looking at the house more than two or three times, without weighing the future, they bought the house. Subsequently they discovered the house was too small for growing family, too far from the | primary school, and without suffi- cient grounds for the children to play in (all facts they might easily have realized before buying.) . So They Are Making the Opposite Mistake Now they want to move again, and they are so obsessed by fear of mak- ing the mistake of being in too much of a hurry again, that they cannot de- cide at all.

The setting for the first act is a roof garden and there are five scenes in the second act, all beauti- ful and said to be typical of an Ori- | ental and Hawaiian atmosphere. The | cast is a large one, including such persons as Emmet Guilfoyle, Joe Rouland, Hilda Bertin, Jeon Leon- ard and Virginia Irwin. A hig fea- ture is provided in the presentation with this show of the Nat Nazzarro Troupe, whose remarkable acrobatic work was one of the sensations of the Winter Garden Show in New York. There Is an unusually pretty chorus and the musical excellence of the show is one of its chief charms. “Songs of Yesterday” in the finale { of the first act an offering al- ways highly pra ningham, Corn beef hashed and mixed with cold boiled potatoes, then baked in a loaf in the oven, makes a good lunch dish, MASONIC CHOIR thing is in readiness for the big musical concert to be given under the auspices of the Masonic Temple corporation of this city, by the Ma- sonic Choir of Waterbury, assisted by Miss Grace Kerns of New York, to- morrow evening at Fox's theater. The committee assures every one that they will hear one of the best concerts ever given in New Britain. There were 200 fifty cent placed on sale at Crowell's and Fox's theater Saturday evening.

It.is an antidote for that blue feeling and can make dull slink into a corner and evaporate.

Miss Campbell is one of the sweetest vo- calists New Britain has ever heard and her work in “Alma” will be cer- tain to please. Then tfere is Walter Wills, the “‘pretzel man,” the enemy of sadness and personal representative of gladnss. Mr. Wills made a decided hit last week with his India rubber dancing. He is the human elastic it there ever was one. Elasticity is his middle name. ITn “Alma” he has plen- ty of opportunity to repeat his per- formanc of last week with a few added surprises.

SIR BEERBOHM TREE ON THE FOX SCREEN One of England’s greatest present- day actors and one of America’s most successful present-day authors con- tribute their joint efforts toward the making of “The Old Folks at Home,” the Triangle drama to be presented at Fox's today and temorrow. The choice of this vehicle for the screen appearance of Sir Herbert was madc after going over the material on hand with a fine tooth comb. The choice was well made, for the part of John Coburn ,rugged and stern, a father of the old school. who needs to see his son in direct peril in order to realize his duty to the boy, is one re- markably adapted to hoth the person- ality and art of the veteran actor. The theme of the play is parental love, and the story gives the star and the lead- ing members of his supporting cast opportunities for excellent emotional work. In addition to the above the Paramount osco Photopl featuring V' “His Father's Son,” an Martin, Miss Martin is very beautiful and wonderfully at- f hoop- tractive in the crinolines and skirts of the south “‘befo’ de wah,” but 35 the charming little girl has to “make good” as a boy and the hearts of all are with her in the interesting course that she takes, makes this an interesting @nd appealing photo- drama.

Dicky’s clothg T laid to one side, preparatory to putting it in his own room. T hoped that by thus ignoring Dicky’s raillery and affecting to be busy he might forgot my unlucky speech concerning Mrs. Allis. But my hope w spoke again, and this note had gone from his volce. “Look here Madge,” he said gr: “be mighty careful you don’t to any one else what you have just told me. You know how obstinate you are when you get on one of your theories, Going off on a tangent like this, with a ridiculous accusation against a woman about whom you know noth- ing, 1s dangerous business.” “It is not a foolish accusation,” T returned coldly, “‘but a true one, as T shall prove to you before our week is out. I shall hint my suspicions to any one e I am not anxious to make a fool of myself.” “No? Is that so?” Dicky drawled in mock astonishment that made my fingers itch to slap him. ‘“Just going to be a little Sherlock Holmes all by herself, isn’t she? Well! well! well! what disguise do you think you will adopt?” T turned my back upon him un- compromisingly, and went on with the arranging of my belongings, A Bet Made, Dicky laughed softly, then, up behind me, drew my head | toward him and kissed me, | “Did her bad, matter of fact hus- band spoil all her romantic dedu tions?” he asked, with his against mine. “Well, he won’t another word. Go on and prove that the man who stole Charlie Ross lurking around here, for all I car just so you don't tell anybody else about it.” I wanted to draw away from to take refuge in cold silence, for felt that he had been unjust in his ridicule. But I knew that resenting an apology of Dicky’s—for ‘that was what the caress and soothing words amounted to—would be like tinder to wk of his anger. Therefore T rested passively in his arms, and said demurel “1 surely shall not tell any one else, but I'd like to make a wager with you that the end of the week will prove I am right in my suspicion.” Dicky whirled me around, then held me off with a quizzical look with which admiration was mingled. “Well, if yowre mnot a sporting proposition " he said. “T'll just you on that. What odds shall T give you?”’ “None,” T responded promptly. “We'll make it a dinner at Vanusetts.” “Done Dicky said, and then, stretchimg his arms up, he gave a pro- digious yawn. “T don’t believe T was | ever so tired in my life”” he said, } “I'm not going to put these things s fruitless.
