The piece has been recast for the New York run, with H. 3. Warner as the star, and among the players in prominent roles supporting Mr. Warner are Flora Sheffield, Fred- erick Perry, H. Cooper Cliffe, John , Mande Truax, Grant Mills, John Stokes, Philip Lord, John Lyons, Aillene Loeb and Virginia T.ee Moore all names that have been associated with many of the most important productions ever staged in this country. ence” will be presented in Hartford at Parsons' theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. ’ BORDONI AT PARSONS Tt certainly ought to be a thrilling piece of news to the fair sex among the theatergoers of New Britain when they hear that Irene Bordeni, EXHIBITION of | Local and Foreign' LANDSCAPES ALBERT BYRON McCUTCHEON and | HILDA ANDEBSON At Morans Musle Store Exhibitioh Opened from Oct. 21ist | to Nov. 4th New Britain ELKS FROLIC Le Bal Tabarin Hartford TUES.

Topping the vaudeville show is “The Six Sheiks of Araby" who offer “An Arablan Fantasy.” 1t presents a glimpse of a far-off land that teems with beauty and ro- mance, In fact with a slight streteh 6f one's imagination it is easy for the Six Shelks to carry one to thelr native land. Thelr per- formance is quite modern. The cast consists of five men and a girl, the men constituting a jazz band with one of their number, a small | youth, being an acrobatic dancer second to none. The girl is a sing- er and sings the kind of songs that are as popular on the,Nile as on Broadway. Other acts include the return engagement of “The Four Horsemen,” who made such a big hat what will be liked again; Cham- | berlain and Earte offer “Tomorrow | at Two,” an excuse for the singing of bright songs and talk: Bell and Naples are character comedians and | offer “Taka Da Flowers” an ex-| pression that causes plenty of | laughter whenever used; The Gen- aro Girls are tije acme of flexibility and offer a series of gymnastic stunts that show them real flexible. | The old-time ball game—those | thrilling and colorful contests of more than 20 years ago—are one | of the big features of Emory John- son’s picture, ife's Greatest Game.” This is the sixth big at- | traction which this young genius | has made for F. B. 0. and it bids fair to step his name up still an- | other notch in that limited and select list of dircctors who never turn out a flop. “Life's Greatest Game” is a big, ipping melodrama with baseball as its background and atmosphere. Fashioned along the lines of the famous old sporting melodramas which made Drury Lane famous, “Life’'s Greatest Game” yet strikes a note different from that phenom- | inal old line of stage successes. The | cast features Johnny Walker and it will bep resented for four days be- ginning Sunday night. There will be three continuous shows dally duripg the week.
