Sunday Night's Show Pauline Frederick is too well known to local movie lovers to need any introduction and in “Two Kinds of Women,” here tomorrow night, she is at her best. That inimitable female comedian, Doris May, in “Up and At 'Em,” is delightful. As the pampered pet of a wealthy fathes she bribe’s the chauffeur when re- fused the use of the car, and in dis- guise goes to ride. A stranger hails her as a taxi-driver and she accepts the challenge only to discover that her passenger is a robber. She tries to escape, but is compelled to accompany the crooks, and then it is that she gets “‘up and at 'em” and things hap- pen fast and furious. Hoyt's Here Oct. 16. Beginning on Monday, October 16, and continuing for at least two weeks, Hoyt's Revue will hold the stage at Fox's with a new chorus and an en- tirely new program of tabloid bur- lesque and miniature musical come- dies. Lew Brems is again with the company as Hebrew comedian and other members of the cast are said to be equally capable in their parts. Clyde Cook in "“Eskimo Pie” will be shown next week. Good Vawdeville, Too. In addition to showing a fine run of photoplays, Fox's is showing- high class vaudeville, four acts being changed on Mondays and Thursdays. With the change next Thursday, Tom Mix in “Do and Dare” will be the movie feature. This presents Mix in an entirely new role. He first appears as a city chap, but when aroused to action starts things going in true Mix fashion. Tonight concludes the local show- ing of Norma Talmadge in “The New Moon.” MANY CHANGES IN HOYT’S REVIEW CAS Popular Musical Aggregation Return- ing To New Britain For Their Third Consecutive Season. There will be many changes in the lineup of principals and chorus peo- ple of the Hoyt Musical Revue when it opens its New Britain engagement at the local Fox theater on Monday, October 16. This will make the third consecutive season that this attrac- tion has played in New Britain al- though at other times it has been booked at the Lyceum. Many theatergoers, who care for this form of entertainment will per- haps regret that Felix Martin, the able Irish comedian is no longer with the company. Mr. Martin is on the road this season in a company of his own. Jack Sheehan, juvenile with the show at its last appearance in this city, was recently seen at Parsons’ theater in Hartford with the “Up In the Clouds” musical comedy show. Mr. Sheehan is well remembered by New Britain people as a peppy pur- veyor of popular songs. Miss Bonnie Rossly, a singing come- dienne, who was with the Hoyt at- traction for several seasons was in New Britain a few weeks ago renew- ing old acquaintances. This year Miss Rossly is playing with an attraction on the Shubert vaudeville circuit and when in New Britain was appearing at'the Shubert Grand theater in Hartford. Frankie O'Nefll is another member of the Hoyt show to fold up his tent and leave. He was recently seen at the Fox theater on West Main street in a vaudeville oftering with his brother. Lew Brems, the capable Jewish comedian, is still with the Hoyt at- traction and was in town last Sunday night visiting many of his local friends. The Hoyt show is playing in Bristol at present. Much Rheumatism This is rheumatism weather, and Clark & Brainerd are having a large demand for Rheuma, the one remedy for this disease they sell with guar- antee of money back if it fails. SLEEPY-TIME TALES esdome s FATTY COON MORE OF HIS DYENTURES WHY THE DUCKS MISSED THEIR MORNING DIP, Fatty Coon hadn't had his break- fast. He always liked a hearty meal before he turned In for his day's sleep. And now he was wondering where he could find something good to eat. “I know what I'll do,” he sald to himself suddenly. “I'll go over to Far- mer Green's duck-pond. They'll be letting the ducks out before long. I'll hide beside the pond and weloome the ducks when they come for their morning swim."” 8o he hurried out of Cedar Swamp and across the meadow. At the duck pond he crouched down in the tall grass that grew upon the bank and waited, He waited a long time—or so it seemed to him. Yet he didn’t hear a single quack. He knew that the ducks couldn’t be on their way to the pond, for they were a noisy crew, al- ways talking, talking, talking. At lagt Fatty rose and peered to- ward tHe barnyard. He saw no ducks anywhere.# But he did catch sight of a long sharp nose sticking up out of the grass not far away. “Tommy Fox!" he exclaimed un- der his breath. And then, “What are you doing here?" he cried. Tommy Fox leaped into the air and looked all around, and sniffed. Then he spled Fatty. And he smiled slyly as he replied, “I've come to watch the ducks enjoying their morning swim.” “Then if 1 were you, I'd go around to the farther side of the pond,” Fat- ty suggested. “The ducks will enter the water here ‘and swim across the pond. You'll get a better view of them over there, because they'll be swimming towards you instead of away from you."” “I thank you kindly for your ad- vice,” Tommy Fox answered. But he never moved a single step, sinking low in the grass again, leaving only the tp of his nose to show. ““He means to have a duck for his breakfast, too," Fatty Coon grumbled. “‘Well, there ought to be enough for both of us, if he doesn’t scare 'em.” Soon a quack-quack-quack sound- ed from the barnyard. “They're out!" Fatty exclaimed, under his breath. “The ducks are out. They'll be here in a few minutes.” Louder and louder grew the chatter “Worse'~ ¥attg told hum each fime. with & groan of the talkative ducks as they came waddling toward the pond. Again Fatty raised himself up on his hind legs. “I'm going to grab the big one,” he muttered. “The others are too small I'll let Tommy Fox have one of those.” Now, oddly enough, at that very moment Tommy Fox was saying the same thing. Little dreaming who lay hidden be- side the pond, the nolsy ducks hur- ried forward for their morning dip. A broad path led from the barnyard to the duck-pond. Close up to the edge of it on one side crept Fatty Coon. Right up to the opposite side of the path stole Tommy Fox. And when at last the leader of the ducks— the big one—reached the spot that was exactly between the two hungry watchers, they both jumped. They jumped at the same instant. A great clamor then broke out. The big duck ducked and wheeled and went rushing back through the flock, squawking at the top of her voice. And all her mates began to flap their short wings and run for the barnyard, making such aa uproad that old dog Spot, over on the farmhouse doorstep, began to bark. Back on the bapk of the pond the fur was flying. For Tommy Fox and Fatty Coon had met right where the big duck had stood but a moment be- fore. They met with mouths wide open, to seize the duck. But when their paws snapped they found they were holding each other. For a minute or two there was a terrible battle. And then Fatty and Tommy rolled over and over down the bank, to land in the pond with a great splash. It was a crisp fall morning and the water was icy cold. The two fighters stopped instantly. They let go of each other, scrambled ashore, and ran off. Tommy Fox hurried toward the woods. Fatty Coon headed for Cedar Swamp. And each of them said to himself: “It's a pity that chap is so greedy. This is what comes of his always try- ing to grab the biggest one.” (Copyright 1912 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service.) i Gossip’s Corner Ann The smartest earrings are of an- tique metal and semi-precious stones rather than brilllant materfals and costly gems.

Long Tassels. Very long tassels are a feature of this winter's styles. Many have gone further than a yard in length and reach from walist to hem.

Blistered Fabrics Blistered and. matelasse fabrics are developed in gold and silver cloths and combine beautifully with thin crepes or laces for evening frocks. Berlin Man’s Play, Put In Movies, Is Coming “A Tailor-Made Man,"” featured in the movies, with Charles Ray in the leading role, will be shown at an ear- ly date at Fox's theater, but is of es- pecial interest to New Britain people inasmuch as it is from the pen of the late Harry James Smith of Berlin. Mr. Smith, who did Red Cross work during the war and died in that serv- ice following serious injuries, was well known in this city where he spent his boyhood days. With his family, he later moved to Berlin where his moth- er now resides. Mr. Smith was one of the best known and most successful of the younger playwrights and his “A Tail- or-Made Man'" was but one of his successes. WALTER HAMPDEN AT PARSONS' HARTFORD When Walter Hampden first ap- peared as Hamlet in New York, his reception by both press and public was indeed phenomenal. He was im- mediately recognized as a new light on the theatrical horizon, and hailed by the majority of critics as “the greatest living Hamlet.” It was ob- served that he was an actor of unique attainments and aided in the deline- ation of what is perhaps the most difficult of great roles, by a magnifi- cent voice, flexible and expressive fea- tures, a supple grace of hody and a compelling power of interpretation. His success established a new record for consecutive performances of the Prince of Denmark that has not been equalled by any one save Edwin Booth. One other significant thing about Hampden is that he puts Wil- |Jlam Shakespeare in a new period, making his plays thrilling, human and entertaining. Hampden although an American- a graduate of Harvard—had his early training on the English stage with Frank Benson, who has been knight- ed for his services to dramatic art and is now Sir Frank Benson, pro- duced everything Shakespeare wrote in dramatic form except “Titus An- dronfous” and “Troilus and Cressida" Hampden went abroad to study mu- sic in Paris, but switched to drama in England and played more than 70 roles with Benson's company.
