Then she suddenly added, in a high-pitched tone: “But, what's th' big idea, holdin’ this talk- fest here? I f'r one, propose that we attend tp th' business we came here for!" She addressed herself more directly to her father. *Th' next thing on th' program, it seems to me,” she said, after the manner of a speaker at a women's political meeting, “is for Tony to consult his brother-in-law as he sug- gested, put your proposal up to him, and fix matters for a meeting of you all!” Arrangements were quickly made for & meeting that evening. Follow- ing this the trio made their way out by the same route that Mike and Tony had used upon entering. One of Pat 8weeney's ‘‘byes” was waiting for him in a flivver parked a few rods below “The Devil's Luck.” ‘This was the conveyance that would 1ake Pat back to town. ‘While the automobile which went to make up the Sweeney entourage number fixe, big and little, includ- ing Mike's roadster, a $15,000 lim- ousine, two sedans and the flivver coupe, it was the last named that Pat Sweeney loved the best. It was his boast that his *“Sooky Ann” possessed “th” legs o' Nancy Hanks,” the “heart of Maud 8.” and the shape of “a Broadway Pelican.” Sooky was a Go-getter and a Bring- ~r-back. Bhe never balked, she never talked—and you never walked with Sooky! Mike hated Booky, loathed her as only & woman can loathe another woman. For in Mike's eyes Sooky | gauntlets and was inserting her little |body underneath and behind the big | |steering wheel, with its glittering what-not. He stretched out a 75- degree angle in the cushioned seat at her side, and pulled shut the door. There was a roar that almost lift- ed the hair from his head and fairly |shook his unshakable conscience from its moorings, and then a sud- [den start that snagped his head | 'back with & jerk, They were on | their way! | Rocks and trees along the road- side merged into an indistinguish- | |able blur. The roar gradually died | down to a throbbing, pulsating purr, |but @ purr that seemed of itself to be a thing of life, vital, breathing, | | thrilling, all-powertul life! It seemed | almost to communicate and identitfy | itself with the life in his own body, | to be a part of him! His glance shifted to the girl un- | der the wheel. Her face was white, the lines of the mouth tense. To his | excited fancy she seemed to be the | |living embodiment of Indomitablec | Purpose, of Sure Intent! | He remembeged the “calling down she had given the “Sooky Thing," | | the look in her eyes, and it suddenly | occurred to him to wonder if such | a thing could be (?)

So men have laughed down |through the ages at what they | deemed Woman's absurdities, eccen- tricities and idfosyncrasics.

Rose |Coghlan appeared in Sardou’s “Dip- lomacy” on that eventful night of |February 21, 1983, and one of the imost fashionable audiences which |ever attended a theatrical perform- |ance in this city witnessed her pro- |duction and pronounced 1t! the best which had been seen here in a num- i ber of years. | Until the opening of this play- house the old Opera House of the late W. W. Hanna, which 1s now the Palace theater, was the only theater in the city, and many a notable pro- duction had been staged there, but This theater was built by a eorpor- ation, the directors of which were H. E. Russell, Jr., Andrew Corbin, F. H. Allia, F. N. Stanley, J. A. Traut, T. 8. Bishop, and A. J. Sloper. The original managers were J. Claude Gilbert and T. J. Lynch, who held the lease for ten years and brought here the best that there was !in the theatrical world. An idea of the many nationally-prominent stars who appeared at the theater under their management may be gleaned from the fact that the following played hers in one brief season (1903:) General Tom Thumb, Dig- by Bell, Eva Tanguay, Henry Miller, Willlam 8. Hart, Mildred Holland, Alden Bass, Frank Keenan, John Drew, Lionel Barrymore, Joseph Jefterson, Chauncey Olcott, and leo Ditrichstein. No season. was {complete without at least one ap- pearance of “Uncle Tom's Cabin” {and “Quincy Adams Bawyer,” while the best stock companies played en- | gagements here and the first motion | picture “views” were shown in the |Lyceum.

Judge Edward Pritchard remained firm in his declaration that he wit- nessed removal of the toad from the sealed crypt and that he watched it slowly “come to life.” was supported by other witnesses summoned as workmen rdzing an old courthouse here approached the cornerstone in which a horned toad was said to have been placed in | July, 1897.

Ladies hand- somely gowned occupied the boxes with their escorts and in the audi- torium and first balcony were seated many of the most prominent people {in town.” | In describing the theater, the Herald stated, “To look at the ex- |terior of the Russwin Lyceum one would never think of the beauty and | The | exquisite finish of the interior. outside walls are very plain but as ‘vou open one of the three large v | @oors in front you step into the vesti- T Lule with its matted floor and beau- [tifully painted ceiling.

Mr. O’Connor was formerly connected | with the stage and was a great | |theatergoer as well. He was a |member of a quartette which hap- ipened to be in New Britain a few days before the opening. The four | were at the bar in the Kusswin hotel and struck up a song. The contrac- | tor building the theater suggested | |that they go into the Lyceum and | |try out the acoustics. They did so, | |and sang several numbers to the de- | 1light of the workmen and a number !of other persons who heard of what | was going on and rushed in. The | lincident was enlarged upon in the | | press and called the “informal open- | 'ing” and Mr. Lynch, Mr. O'Connor | |says, was “wild” when he learned | of it. | ;Gex'mafiy Glad “Dawn” Cannot Be Exhibited |the the cornerstone had not been tam- pered with, brought an aimost unanimous opinion from prominent zoologists that such a thing was ‘im- possible.” “Absolutely Impossible.” Dr. William M. Mann, director of National Zoological Park at Washington, D. C. branded the claim was “absolutely impossible.” “A horned toad, which, as a mat- ter of fact is not & toad at all but a variety of lizard, is a surface creature and could live only a short time without air or food,” said Dr. Mann. Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator | of the New York rzoological gardens, described this specie of toad as ex- tremely delicate, and shut in with- out air, would live only a short time, He believed that it could live three or four months without food. Live Centur; In taKing cognizance of the west Texas tradition that such reptiles can hibernate for a century, Dr, Dit- mars said this story probably ori- ginated when toads were found in rocks after blasting. He explained that the toad creeps into crevicem in rocks, but that air is always avail. able, ‘While skeptical persons accepted Berlin, Feb, 21.—(#)—News that a license has been refused to the film | German newspapers and political circles generally.
