SOME GOOD FILMS
 AT FOX'S THEATER

The Price of Treachery," or The Lighthouse Keepers Daughter" a wonderfully realistic production of life on the deep showing tremen- dous storm at sea, the blowing up of a larger schooner, and the heroic rescue of the captain and the cook from the troublesome waters will be shown at Foxs theater today as the big feature attraction. he story is full of heart interest and sentiment and deals with the oldest son of re- spected family who takes upon him. self a crime committed by his young CT brother and is driven from home by his implacable father. He be- comes captain of the schooner liar land," which founders and blows up during the heavy gale, but he and the cook are rescued in thrilling scene by the lighthouse keeper and his daughter The younger brother hav- ing previously met this attractive maiden, tries to abduct her, but the plan is foiled and he pays the pen alty of his foolhardiness with his life. The oldest son falls in love with the girl and after a strenuous courtship marries her. This produc- tion is clearly and intelligently told in five wonderful reels. Another feature and one that will be i'm
 mensely enjoyed, is Her Ragged Knight" featuring Miss Florence Law
 renee, the popular screen star.
 The balance of the motion picture l program consists of The Polo Champ ions'' with Max Ascher the inimita ble
 comedian playing a very funny role

$25, GOO PHOTO PLAY
 AT KEENEY'S TODAY

Today and tomorrow will be the biggest days of the week at Keeney's theater because of the popular $25,- 900 prize photo play. "The Perils of Pauline" These pictures proved to be so popular that the management has arranged for the local playhouse to keep each release for two days.
 The act that is attracting the most attention this week is the offering of Revolving Collins, a roller skater of exceptional ability. This is the first appearance of MT. Collins in New Britain since roller skating became the craze, and everybody in the audi ence joined in and gave generous ap- plause. The tricks ssin this produc- tion differ widely from the general run of those indulged in by stage en- of the offering.
 The act of thousand laughs would characterize exactly the musical sketch of Fenner and Fox, two clever New York musical comedy artists Such song hits as Beautiful Eggs and "Lovable Child" are sung by these two character singers to perfec- tion, and it is not until large reper- tore or songs are sung that the SlnS- CTS are allowed to go off the stage.
 The Funny Films show the assem blaze just how boxing should be done Mrs. Finn has at her command the famous punches of most of the pres ent day prize fighters. The different tricks of fighting are placed at the disposal of the audience, and they show their appreciation by applauding loudly whenever an especially good Diff is recorded on MT. Finn's jaw The act is we'll worth seeing for those pugilistically inclined.
 The Colonial Opera Four is the musical act of the bill, and it is in. deed seldom that such an act Is in troduced in summer vaudeville. Four select pieces from Italian opera are sung in perfect time with Keeney's eight piece orchestra. This mixed quartet have everything their owr way when it comes to American songs also. This fact was demonstrated

BOlerO- Coatee Costume
 Is Not Wrap But Bodice
It Is New and Very Chic-A Tafeta Coatee Is Charm ingly Original When Worn With Transparent
 Frock-Doube Ruffes for Tall Girl.

Low curved at center of back and front, the neck of this coatce is f1n- ished with a narrow batiste collar lying almost fiatly upon the silk. It is inconspicuous and the style of the costume isHleft to the coatee or to its accompanying white velour hat, whose crown is covered with white pansies of heroic size.
 Taffeta Coatee With Sheer Frock.
 Charmingly original is taffeta coatee which is most alluring when worn with a transparent frock. The model, which came to New York last week, has an(indefinitely draped skirt and long sleeves in bluet chif- fon. They match the shade of a taffeta coatee, whose cut-in-one, very wide elbow sleeves are drawn up to the shoulders and there caught un- der a black velvet bow.
 The fronts of the jacket running into short tabs, crossed and but toned at the waist line, show a little of the chiffon underblouse. 1t car- ries the narrowest of collars in silk, extending fiatly from the shoulders to the bust, but standing straight out from the neck's nape.
 Tulle Overdress and Peplum.
 Tulle of intense coloring is em- ployed in the development of some of the new costumes whose coatees are in plain silk or in shot taffeta matching a foundation skirt which scarcely shows. The tulle, thickly pleated, forms long overdress or a wide f1ounce, overlapped by a mar rower one. At times the coatee covers the waist line; again it is girdled, and not infrequently it is ex- tended over the hips. Occasionally a peplum in pleated tulle is added. Sleeves in tulle often have deep cuffs of the silk, trimmed with ball but tons, but they are also seen cut off at the elbow and narrow frill fn- ished.
 Tulle lends itself admirably to the fashioning of the narrow frills, which are taking the place of broad, trans parent collars. They are scant inch and half broad and top fin- ished with tiny flat edging, fine as a spiders web.

Household Notes

Lambs liver, which is very deli cate and not as much used as 1t deserves to be, is delicious minced and served on toast.
 If white potatoes are inclined to turn black when being boiled, add 8 few drops of vinegar to the water they are boiled in.
 Always use ammonia water in- stead of soap when cleaning white paint. It has the advantage of not dulling the surafce.
 An orange or grape fruit that has been cut in halves and left can be kept from drying if fastened to- gether with skewer. v
 Fish will be crisp and brown if 1t is thoroughly dried on both sides, then dipped in fine cornmeal and plunged into boiling fat.
 Cheese may be kept soft and good for long time if wrapped in a cloth wrung out of vinegar and then a
 A frying basket should be warmed in the oven before being put into hot fat. It will thus not reduce the temperature of the fat.
