"DUTCH LOVE" IS
 KEENEY SKETCH

Dutch Love" is the title of very novel musical sketch, presented by Van Holland and Southern as the headline attraction this week at Kee- ney's. The piece is offered with ella boratc scenic effects and some unique stage business. It Is a distinct novel; ty and lovers of the variety cannot help but be attracted by it. The cou- pie appearing in the act are singers of marked ability. Their rendition of 'The South Sea" and Tango in the Sky" is exceptionally pleasing. A burlesquo on the musical comedy High links" Is one of the amusing features of the act. The balloon as- tension is another part that gave con siderable pleasure to the first night CTS"
 Alvarado's animal circus is another feature of this weeks show that is sure to make a big hit. It is an anil mai act that is different and it's new ness helps greatly in making it sue cessful. In the troupe which Prof. Alvarado has collected for exhibition are seven goats, two monkeys, three dogs and d cat. All the animals per form together and they do a number of difficult things that are most inter- esting. The beer-drinking baboon Is the leader of the aggregation. He Is probably one of the best educated an imals appearing before tho public. He displays almost human intelligence and seemingly does everything that can be done by person except talk.
 The Imperial Four. famous Rus sian dancers. open the show. They are eXiles from their own country on account of the war, having won great success in European music halls, prior to the opening of hostil- ties.

Garden party frocks of dainticst description have been launched for the approa ching summer. Already a few of these frocks have been ad- nlired at Palm Beach, Aiken and the White Sulphur Springs, while others arc on their way to California. For many girls who ostensibly go to see the Panama Exposition intend to take part in the festivities at the va riCus fashionable colonies along the Pacific coast. In that land of reputed perpetual sunshine, the net garden nrty frock will accord perfectly with the landscape, for it's garnishings are ribbons delicately hued.
 Blue and lemon colored faced ribbon of inch width Is lavishly applied to a model in embroidered Brussels net. The under slip of accordion pleated null is yelled from the waist by three fiCunces of net each one slightly deeper than the one above it. All are deeply Scalloped but the edge of the second enc only is defined by a thick quilting of blue and lemon ribbon.

that to be presented at Fox's com mencing with tomorrow's matinee in the five-act photoplay "Thc Call of the North with none other than the original star of the play. Robert Edeson playing the role of Ned Stewart. A strong cast supports the famous star. the photography is eX- cellent the action intense and interest compelling, while the scenes for this well known drama were actually taken in the far Northwest where snow and ice cover the fields and forests as far as the eye can travel. forming settings and backgrounds of natures own that could never hope to be reproduced upon tho marrow confines of mere stage, no matter how large it may bo. Robert Edeson in "The Call of the North" will un- doubtedly be the talk of the town after the first performance and those who havo read the book or seen the play can best appreciate the possibil- ities of the hoto-drama.
 Besides this gripping and tense drama the latest chapter of '"The Exploits of Elaine" will also be shown, and Fox patrons will be treat ed to one of the best offerings of the season.
 Today's attractions arc strictly re- fined and entertaining and offer two hours of excellent diversion. The Shuberts present, Mary Miles Minter, Percy Hilton and Will Archie in 'The Fairy and the Waif' Il comedy drama in five acts that is most amusing with it's delightful story appealing to the grownups as well as to kiddies. To- days "Black Box" serial is full of action and tense moments. and is the best chapter offered in this great de- tective story. With the two above mentioned attractions today's "Pathe News" is also shown, which depicts the most recent views from the thea ter of war, as well as the most impor- tant happenings our own country over.

JOUR NEW MINISTER
 GOES WELL AT POLTS

TO sec the Hartford PoI Players this week in "Our New Minister" is a very restful experience. For nei- ther the play nor tho acting require any mental effort on the part of the audience. The play is d comedy with a touch of melodrama, the scene laid in New England and the characters representing people as they are sup posed to be. Some of the comedy is really delightful and some of the mel oGrama really thrilling. The com aination of the two makes 8 play that is good.
 The plot turns about a theft in the village of Hardscra bble for which the wrong man is convicted. He returns from a three-year prison sentence in the first act and is vindica oed in the last act. A new minister also ap- pears in the first act. He does not live up to the ideal minister as the people of the village consider one. In other words. he has advanced ideas

 the whale, does not disapprove o' l dancing and pays more attention to the new than to the old testament. lie l falls in love with the daughter ot

lures the New York youth. These two, with tho three actors who take the part of village characters, F. Matthews as the postmaster, R. F.. Pagan as Curtis Holton, the village agnostic, and Hal Briggs as Obediah Burton, the man with settled opin- ions, do some of the best acting in the play. Ada Dalton is more like the real village gossip in this play than she was in a former one in which sho took the SamC part.
 Harry Hollingsworth takes the part of the new minister, who turns the life of l1ardsCrabblc into the channels of real Christianity and away from tho sham Christianity which ruled under his predecessor. the old minis ter, who is Maurice Dower. Ben Mac Quarrie is the village squire and the real thief, and Lem Ransom the re- turned convict. The part of his daughter Nance, is taken by Marguer- ite Skirvin. Welba Lestina is Ester Strong, tho new minister's sister.

Forcing Flowers in tho House.
(New York Tribune.)

Of the ornamental shrubs about the home grounds, perhaps the easiest to force and the one with jolliest bloom is the forsythia, or golden bell. The lilac may be forced in this way, too, but it is of more sensitive nature and does not always respond to this treatment. The Persian lilacs do better, though they require more warmth and light.
 If you would believe in the mir acles of nature, place in a tumbler of water d twig from the horsechest- nut tree which has at its tip huge sticky bud. As the days go by sec the bud spread wide open, the tender little leaves folded tight within grad ually increase their wrinkles. become larger and larger. until they are the full grown leaves, then the little flower bud timorously sends forth it's blossoning shoot. Occasionally we may be greeted by a truly marvellous flower of the horsechestnut, and all from one bud in a tumbler of water.

It is doubtful if there is any feature the Spring more interesting than the con bination of the Empire waist line wit the wide skirt. Here is frock adapted te small women and to young girls which shows that feature and also a bolcre that is essentially youthful in effect, gen. orally becoming and altogether attractive. Here the bolero and the skirt are made of pretty lowered taffcta of the new chiffon sort and the blouse is of crepe de chine, but one can think of many ways in which the design could be copied. Ii seems per fectly adapted to the lovely embroidered cotton crepcs and cotton voiles which are shown in such enticing variety; it would be beautiful made up in any ono of the seasons silk crepes, it is charming in taffeta and would be extremely hand. some made of the fashionable faille or cf soft poplia.

Girl in the Taxi,' Produced at Lyceum,
 Is a Great Big Laugh

It was a number of years ago that "The girl in the Taxi was first pro- duced on the Lyceum stage, so long in fact that those who saw it then can see it again with all the pleasure they experienced at that time ana those who have never witnessed a per formance of this farce comedy really have a treat in store for themselVes for it is funny and as presented pE tue JIyceum stock company 1t IS well acted and has all the accessories necessary for 8 first class production. The niece Is at the Lyceum this week. nnening there last evening with a large audience and If laughter and applause are any criterion of it's feelings it was thoroughly appreciative. This is the cast:
 Mariette, maid to Mrs. Stewart ....
 ............ Lols Bolton C1ara, stewart, wife of John Stew
 art ....... Adelaide Hubbard Walter Watson, friend of the
 family ......... Adrian $. Perrin ochn Stewart, banker, president of
 the $. P. C. A. Frank Wright Bertie Stewart, His Son ......
 ........ Alfred Cross Mary Peters, niece Ruth Prie Percy Peters her husband .......
 wyrIey Birch Frederick Smith, perfume manu-
 facturer. of Red Bank, N. J.
 l.. J. Fuller Mignon, his wife. "The Girl in the
 Taxi ............. Emily Galloway Mile. Irma, a vaudeville artiste ....
 ................. Magic Hamilton Rosie. her friend, chorus lady
 Belle Flower Alexis, head waiter at Churchiils
 F. M. Leeonard Emile. one of his assistants
 ................. Jack Fargo Dr. Paul ............ Jim Connor Mike. a policeman ..... Jim Connor
 Like all such pieces the plot is built upon extravagant lines. Tn this case John Stewart Is man who stands well in his community and his son Bertie, who is idoliZed by his mother, likes the white lights and meets "Mignon,' the wife of Fred crick Smith. a perfume manufacturer, who belongs to the New York state militia, and while he is in camp she gees to a leading restaurant and makes a night of it.. Bertie is her companion on In1S OCCdSlOn, HIS ldlHcE meets another woman at the same place and Percy Peters, who pretends he is i'll, is also 0 visitor to the same restaurant for the same purpose. They all meet, to the great astonish- ment Of each other and to cap the climax the soldier puts in an appear ance and there is such a miXup that the audience becomes convulsed with laughter. The play is brimful of similar scenes and taken as q whole it makes an entertainment with one laugh following another from the rise until the fall of the curtain.
 Mr. Wright plays Stewart, MT. Cross is Bertie and MT. Birch, Peters, and it would be difficult to pick a flaw in their work, while MT. Fuller does equally we'll as the perfume manufacturer and the soldier, who Is really wicked when he has on his uniform. Miss Galloway plays Mignon with much spirit. dresses In fashion and sings a catchy song in the res taurant. Mrs. Hubbard also dresses well and acts with dignity and has an abiding faith In her family. The re- mainder of the cast does we'll, par ticularly Miss Bolton. The perform ance Is one of the best given by the company.
