The incomparable Walter Hamp- den opened a three-day engagement| at Parsons' theater in Harjford last night in a performanee of “Macbeth,” | the °Shakespearean masterpiece, which was presented in a most mas-| terly manner by an exceptionally| capable supporting company. The play followed closely the hook | as written by Shakespeare and there- | fore comes in for very little criti-| cism. There are perhaps many of | the present géneration who do not| care for this type of play and kind| of entertainment but for those that| do it is a rare treat to see \\'al':r: Hampden portray the characters as| made by the old English author. i The dramatic acting of Mr. Hamp- | den is, without a doubt, the most su- | perb seen on the Hartford stage dur-| ing the course of a season. The great | actor makes his audience see, feel| and even become a part of the play.| His supreme dramatic ability is shown in the banquet scene after he has heen told that Banquo has been killed | as he had ordered. He cgnnot sup,| he cannot sit still, he cannot enjoy | the company of his guests for on his mind all of the time Macbeth men-| tally pictures Banquo who should by! right be seated at the table. - The fa-| cial expressions, the vivid conception of Macbeth, the madman as he saw| the ghost of his dead friend, filled | the spectators with awe. | Mary* Hall as Lady Macbeth, the| shrewd and designing wife who was even more courageous than her hus- band, the warrior and even coward, gave a performance worthy of only‘ the most favorable comment.

Miss Hall and Mr. Hampden did their best acting of the evening in the| scene which directly followed the| murder of Duncah when they entered individually from the dismal bedroom Macbeth ecarrying the two daggers| also covered with blood and both ex pressing the fear that someone might | enter, see and disclose their wicked deed.

The third dress shows an oddly cut front panel with the jabot drapery at one side. e Gossip’s Corner Brilliant Colors At a recent smart dance at the Ritz Carlton it was noticed that prac- tically all the guests wore vivid colors. Orange, flamingo, red, sap- phire blue and jade green costumes made a brilliant kaleidoscope of color. Hemlines The uneven hemline is still feat- ured on youthful frocks of chiffon and lace. These frocks are delight- fully youthful, but quite opposed to flapperism. Hemstitching Hemstitching is seen on many sport and afternoon frocks of crepe de chine and volle. Irequently it is the ¢nly trimming, Lace and Beads A _gown of Alice blue georgette is trimmed with rows of narrow valen- ciennes lace, outlined with rows of sapphire.colored beads. Styles in Ginghams Gingham gowns are embellished with cross-stitch embroidery and narrow edgings and frills of organdie. The colors are as brilllant or subdued as, one desires. - Summer Furs Summer furs are going to be light colored, 'tis whispered. Platinum fox and white ermine are being groomed for style leaders. Mountain Haze Mountain haze is the name of new and very fashionable cotor. It is somewhere between orchid and pink, and is particularly effective in silken fabries. a Good Manners A hurried, indistinct intrdduction almost always causes embarrassment. Names should be pronounced distinct- Iy. For the persons Infroduced, naturalnesg is the right form. Brev- ity and clearness in the introduction and a note of sincerity on the part of those presented to one another gives by far the best effect. Marriage A La Mode We got our custom of throwing rice at weddings from the Chinese. «The old Romans threw nuts and sweets. In Secotland it is customary to throw small oatmeal cakes. Throwing frul, expecially figs, is the corresponding ceremony in southern Furope, while in Greece the breaking and ecattering of a pomegranate is the favorite symbol. LARGEST LIFE BOAT Biggest Craft in World Will Have Cabin and Motor Drive London, Feb, 2.--The largest life- boat in the world, which will be mo- tor driven and contain a cabin, is being built for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s station at Mer- sey. She will be 60 feet long, fitted with two engimes, and have a radius of action of more than a hundred miles. In the fleet of 238 vessels owned by the institute and distributed over their coastal stations,’ there are now 38 motor boats. SIS, SESS— GOLD BEARING CLAY.

Entirely different from “Oh Baby," this show runs the gamut of lhe' lighter emotions. Charlje Abbot, the | funniest man ever seen on the Lyceum stage, is especially comical. Tn one special scene where he intrudes in the Kehdive of Egypt's harem he is remarkably clever, and as a presiding judge in the Reno divorce court his burlesque is inimitable. There are ten separate scenes in this show, ing in a California orange gro featuring the song “California.” famous drunk dance is exploited in a| ‘romedy scene, “Looking for Cellars,” and in the next sketch the beauty! chorus appears as bathing girls a la Mack Sennett.

The result has been a flood of angry letters to the press, backed up by the energetic protest of the Phil- atelic society. The postmaster, how- ever, has not been deterred, and he is flooding the market with more re- susclated old issues.
