POWDER PUFF _REVUE—LYCEUM The Powder Puff Revue, a clean, clever and-classy little company that drew capacity houses at the Com- munity theater in Merlden al] last week, opened pa week's engagement at_the Lyceum this afternoon. The members of the cast and chofus are all capable performers, are nicely costumed and their songs, dances and jokes are free from suggestiveness. This company presents an entirely different brand of entertainment from any that has heretofore appeared here, and among the specialties are a number of attractive song hits and a clog dancing exhibition of merit, The show fitself is a rollicking com- edy from start to finish, The bill will be completely changed on Thurs- day. The picture showing the first half of the week is really an animated de- tective story from the pen of A. Conan Doyle, the great Inglish mys- tery writer and creator of Sherlock Holmes. The picture, “The Hound of the Baskervilles,”” is regarded as one of Dovle's greatest detective stories. The leading character is, ob- viously, Sherlock Holmes, and the methods adopted by this clever sleuth in unraveling the uncanny and baf- fling mystery that as presented in the opening chapter compel the work=- ing,out of a most elaborate plot.

Owing to the theater being rented by the Lions' club for the Orpheus concert on Thursday night, those who plan to see the last half week show will have to attend on either Friday or Saturday. The picture then will be Charles (Buck) Jones in “The Foot- light Ranger.” The title of “The Man Who Played God"” is somewhat misleading, though it is not a misnomer. Arliss, as a fa- mous musician who, suddenly becomes deaf, loses interest in )ife, becomes a cynic and finally contemplates suicide, is brought to his senses when he finds that other people have troubles too, It is then that his whole manner changes. ' Instead of a ‘“crab,” he be- comes a benefactor and philanthro- pist and in so doing essays the role of God in that he tries to ljft the bur- _ dens of others, Only a very few birds have extgfnal éars like those of mammals.
