country. has there been offered the public such a realistic and absorbing exhibition as is the Wild West. It Is this simplicity and accuracy that lends to Col Cody's wonderful aggre- gation the charm which has en- thralled the many millions who have witnessed the scenes in the Wild West arena.
 The battle of Summit Springs. the great railroad hold-up. the home pictures of ranch life. the stage coach attack and rescue are the principal features: with these may be men, tioned the cowboy fun and bucking bronchos, the cavalry evolutions. the zouaves and many other items on the extensive program.
 Col Cody is not an ordinary show man, but an educator in history. and he presents living pictures that will long remain in the minds eye of those who are fortunate enough to study and understand the realistic lessons taught by the performance. The only paint and tinsel you see is on the Indians who appear in war paint and feathers. just as they did when the great west was a hot. de- batable ground for the savage and the white man All else is real. sim pie and historically correct.

CAT YALE" 1"

The college songs that are aunounc-
 ed to be sung in the new college play,
 At YaIe,' which will be seen at
 Polls tomorrow evening, will be
 enough to insure its success if there
 was nothing more exciting and stir
 ring in the play. Eight picked voices
 have been rehearsing these songs all
 summer. The songs were chosen by
 Mir Gilmore while at Yaie, and pie
 ture the student life there more clear ly and more strikingly than any other feature could possibly do. In addition to these eight good men, Mir Gilmore himself sings very taking song in the first act, and his leading lady sings another in the last act. h. termisslons between the various acts are filled with music, so that this new college play might be termed q con tinuous performance from the first curtain to the last. Those who have seen the play describe it as the most stirring college drama that has been witnessed on the American stage. The production is made by Jules Murry in the most sumptuous manner. Prices 9. 50, 75 and S1. Seats are now on sale. Tel. 10S4.

There is a fascinating combine of IT, rfs.stible fun, natural character dress ing and powerful dramtic situations in "A Romance of Coon Hollow" Popular prices.
 MRS wARREN'S PROFESSION"
 There are portions of this dra- matic production of Shaw's which could we'll be eliminated In the name of morality and purity, and it Is no wonder that women's organizations throughout the country protest against the play. It is a story at which the demi-monde might we'll giggle and grow enthusiastic. but it must bring a blush of shame to the cheeks of even not too sanctimoni- ous maiden. As 10 the enactment of the roles, the cast last evening was a splendid one in every respect. It served to introduce to those who were present as capable a young actress. in the person of Miss Blanca West, as has appeared on the local stage in many seasons. She was cast in the difiieult role of Miss Vfvie Warren, and throughout all her scenes she portrayed the part excep- we'll. In fact. she attained most of the honors of the produc- ton and her work will assuredTy merit something better in the dra- matic line later. Sharing the iaureIs with her was a Waterbury boy. Frv-H Ing Lancaster. in the character of Rev Samuel Gardner. Equally good was Louis Albion In the part of Sir George Crofts. portions of his work being of the star order. Virginia Drew Prescott in the part of Mrs Warren filled the role aeceptably.

DO NOT NEED TO
TALK INTO TELEPHONE
Robert Rexdale Engaged in Scientific
Research With View to Doing
Away With the Mouthpiece.

Friends of Robert ReXdale. the poet
and supreme secretary of the Frater-
nal Tribunes, became aware Saturday
afternoon that Mr.. ReXdale is engaged
in scientific research that may result
in an invention that will revolutionize
telephone mechanism. Just how far
he has carried out the idea is not Civ
en- out, but in the course of his expert
ments it became necessary Saturday
afternoon to make test of principe
involved, and to do this Mr.. ReXdale
appealed to a few of his friends. There
is a possibility that he will put into
practical form the principles he has
developed. In such case a telephone
instrument without a mouthpiece will
be the result. The absence of tht
mouthpiece would not affect the trans
mission of soundS except that in speak
ing into the phone one would not fin
it necessary to place the lips within 6
considerable distance of the instru
ment, and in fact it would be unneces
sary to speak in the direction of the
| telephone. Yet the change woulC
make possible the exclusion of al
sounds except the speakers words
/ from the transmitting mechanism.

the war in Central America, and diplo-
