Frank Craven, J. c. Mathews and Slaine Mills
 Miss Grace. George will be seen Thursday evening in her new play, a three-act comedy entitled "A Wom- ans Way" The novelty of the play comes in it's treatment of the. old di- vorce question. It tells how a young wife wins back her husband after she has apparently lost him to rich and fascinating widow. It might be en- titled comedy of common sense for the wife announces to her husband when discussing the scandal, "She is a Woman-and I am a woman-you are man. If Icannot hold you I do not want you. We will invite her here and see." Miss George, as Marion Stanton, the young wife, it is claimed accomplishes the best work of her ar- tistfc career. Frank Worthing is again her leading man, and is most happily cast as the husband.
 
 Girls" the most vivacious and au- dacious of Clyde Fftch's comedies, will be presented by the original New York ings, and Saturday matinee. The com pany that presents the play here is the same as appeared in the 225 perfor- mances in New York, and is composed of such well known players as Charles Cherry, Florence Reed, Amy Ricard, Ruth May cliffe, Zelda Sears, Herbert Standing, John Cumberland and oth- CTS.

THE THEATRES
POL.I's

Manager Poli offers to his patrons this week a headline attraction of un- usual merit. Joseph Hart's Bathing Girls" the newest musical scene and costume novelty created by that emin- ent vaudeville producer With ten charming girls, six elaborate scenes, lots of catchy music and startling lighting effects. sThe Bathing Girls" constitutes one of the most elaborate attempts yet made by MT. Hart. In leading parts will appear Will Phil brick and Pearl Hunt, late musical comedy stars. A chorus of pretty and vivacious girls make the six big song numbers each and every one a. distinct hit A sensation is introduc- ed in the production in the great surf scene, wherein the bathing girls attir- ed in their beach costumes splash merrily about in the foam crested waves Patrons of Polls, this week, wills appreciate to the fullest this mag nificent production.
 Charles Leonard Fletcher, Americas foremost impersonator, will be feat ure of great attractiveness. MT Fletcher has complete and artistic repertoire gained in some five trips around the world. He does to perfec- ton the famous '.At the Telephone" skit, that made famous Charles War ner the English actor, who committed suicide last Friday in New York. Some Of thei other best things on this weeks bill will be The Empire Comedy Four, that funny quartet; Ott, Nelson & Stedman in Phil Otis scream, Nearly Doctor" Anne Blancke & Co.,, pre- senting the New York success s'Freck1es;'' Rose Wentworth introduc- ing her famous white circus horse in a novelty ring act; Tom Bateman, the dancing sailor boy, and the best in motion pictures on the Electrograph.

He had no doubt that Johnson would be willing to sign the agreement, and he did not believe that Jeffries would feel he could af- ford to neglect such opportunity for fortune.
 Pittsburg, Feb. 15.-Barney Dreyfuss and Owner Charles Murphy of the Chi cagO team have locked horns-rather typewriters. They had a row and the Pittsburg magnate went at the Chica- go man hard by mail. To this Murphy has sent the following reply by wire to Dreyfuss.
 Secretary Thomas has just read to me your letter in reply to mine. It was received at the hospital, where am at the bedside of my wife, who is in critical condition. I am sincerely sorry for my impu1sive letter to you in regard to the schedule and I hope you will forgive me. I also hope that our meeting here next week will be peaceful, as the public is tired of these wrangles.''
 This may prove the most startling week baseball has ever witnessed, If the National League situation has not been sized up the wrong way. The old league will furnish all the fire works at the big Chicago pow-wow. At least one bitter battle will be fought out when Harry Pulliam and c. Webb Murphy face each other. And indirectly something else is bound to spill. Murphy is going to force a revelation in the now famous New York bribery scandal.
 It has leaked out that Pulliam has lined up his club presidents against this same clarion-voiced Charlie Mur- phy. The owner of the Cubs is said to be 'in bad with all the other league magnates. This is but natural. He won three consecutive pennants. But the fact that Pulliam has intimat- ed that he holds proof that the Cub management pared the appropriations due visiting clubs last year has them all by the ears.

BISHOP BREWSTER'S
 LENTEN MANIFEST

Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brewster. D. D., Episcopal bishop of the diocese of Connecticut. has issued Lenten pro- clamation. as follows:
 Again Lent comes to us win it's opportunities. Let us not drift through the season passively or in a vague ainlessness. Let us make definite re- solve and effort, and honestly endeavor that our Lent shall be not merely negative. but a season or positive real ity. It is the season of penitence It's keynote is that daily prayer for new and contrite hearts, and 1t means that by finding and facing our sins. and by confession of sins. we may obtain.
 That perfect pardon which is per- feet peace.' Repentance ought to mean for us forsaking of sin and coming home to God. Lent ought to be a time of more prayer and communion With God.
 Lent is a season of fasting and self denial This denial ought to be not merely negative, but positive in motive and purpose, the going with out which shall mean some positive gain. It may we'll be that in some matter. great or small. denial shall mean a certain deliverance and eman- cipation Thus may denial be means to the freedom for which Christ set us free. The discipline of Lent might mean for one a transfer of the power of habit from the wrong to the right side of character. so that one may be that much the stronger in self-control, or strength for duty. or effective power over life.
 ''Let our Lent. however. be not self centered and circumscribed.. Let it be positive in taking us beyond any petty limits. The call of Lent is not merely to us individually; it is call collec- lively, to the whole body of the Church, as we are reminded by the selection of Holy Scripture for the Epistle on Ash Wednesday: Call a solemn assembly: gather the people, The call is to a corporate observance, and to a corporate as well as personal repentance. Lent must not be without regard to the great congregation and the Church. The coming home to God ought to mean entrance anew into the Church's household ways.
 May Lent have it's import of reality for us as a Diocese! May it mean, throughout our congregations. more appreciation of our Common Prayer and the privilege of Holy Communion, a renewed loyalty to Christ and His Church, new sense of broth erhood for Christ's sake and deeper convictions regarding service to our fellow-men in His Name"

SMITHS.

In the good romantic play so thor oughly identified in the Irish type, there is always a naturalness, sim- plicity and a heart interest that not only appeals to an Irishman; but to all theatre-goers, irrespective of nation ality, that admires true romantic drama, interspersed with natural wit, singing, dancing, and bright dialogue. Come Back to Erin which will be the attraction this evening, with Chas E. Mack, the popular and handsome young Irish comedian and Irish piper with an ideal company of players, and an elaborate scenic production, IS an attraction of kind that cannot fail to please the most conservative thea tre-goer.
 Tomorrow evening, Wm. A. Brady will present the evergreen rustic idyi Way Down East" which has that indefinable something which makes success. In some way, as few other ploys can, 1t goes hold of the people and draws them back again and again. All the accessories seen here in the past continue to be important factors toward making the production one of the. m0Bt complete en tour. The cast is still headed by Miss Phoebe Davis.
 Olga Nethersole will make her ap- pearance for the first time in this city in an American play, written by an American author and supported by an entire American cast, when she ap- pears Wednesday evening in William J. Hurlbut's second and most pro- nounced success, "The Writing on the Wall" The story deals with young New York society matron of the pres ent period, and tells of conditions that exist in every great American city at the present time. Miss Nethersole's present role differentiates from many of the characters she has portrayed in the past, and a woman less of the great artist would have found it inn
 possible to make the necessary great change required by her present char acter both in method and conception. For the first time in her artistic ca reer she has, pursuant of her future policy, surrounded herself with all Am erican players, including two of our best known leading men, Robert T. Haines and William Morris. Other well-known players in the cast are Miss Beverly Sitgreaves, Miss Ade laide Nowak, Miss Florence Hackett

TRY TO BREAK HATTERS' STRIKE Twelve Experts and Twelve Learners Start at South
 NOrwalk Shops.
Imported From Philadel- phia, Were Unable to Get Boarding Place and Were Taken In By Shop Own Trimming Machines Installed.
Special from United Press.)

Especial from United PressD
 South Norwalk. Feb 15.-The first attempt to break the matters strike by the importation of non- union labor was made to-day by the firm of Crofut & Knapp, the largest manufacturers in this city. Twelve expert trimmers from Philadelphia started in work when the shops opened to-day and un- der their instruction twelve beginners were placed to learn the trade. In addition to the trimmers two trim ming machines were installed and these are in charge of two experts also from Philadelphia. Trimming ma chimes were unknown in this section before the strike as the Union men would not permit their installation.
 When the little body of trimmers, many of them women arrived last night from Philadelphia, they went at once to the Hotel Clifford. The union men. however. had already been in- formed of their coming and all the pressure of this powerful organization was at once brought to bear on all the hotel keepers with the result that they were unable to secure lodgings at any of the hostelries. Applications were then made at several private boarding houses but with the same result. The "No Room sign was out all over the town and the manufacturers were f1n- ally obliged to take the twelve strike brakers into their own homes for the night.
 A mass meeting was held here yes terday under the auspices of the Gen. tral Labor Union and was largely at tended. Dr. c. s. Mcfarland. pastor of the First Congregational church de- livered an address on union labor and l. S-s @f :. labor leaders. Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison. A resolution to this effect was adopted by the entire gathering. Address were also made by Judge John H. Light and c. J. Donahue of the Central Union of the state.
