NOTED PLAYS COMING
 TO PARSONS THEATER

Mrs. Patrick CampbelTs appearance in "Pygmalion," most unique com- edy by G. Bernard Shaw in which she will be seen at the Parsons Theater
 on Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee, is the result, as usual, of MT.
 Shaw's careful systematic methods of work. As a dramatic critic, MT. Shaw
 has been admiring Mrs. Patrick
 Campbelrs art for many years. Shaw's
 brilliantly scathing criticisms of th,
 English plays and players are we'll
 known. Those who think the things
 I say severe or even malicious should
 see things I do not say' he retorted.
 But MT. Shaw's criticisms of Mrs.
 Patrick Campbell have been as mo-
 ticeably kind as clever. Her grace
 of movement and personal charm
 and striking beauty have always
 drawn from him the highest praise.
 Manager A. H. Woods has spared
 no expense in providing his star,
 Julian Eltinge, with a suitable vehicle
 this season. He enlisted the services of Charles Klein to write the play and the manuscript of Cousin Lucy" was delivered to Eltinge in New York few days before the author started back to England on the ill-fated Lusi- tania. Jerome Kern was called upon to provide the music. Kern's tunes are known, whistled and sung wher- ] ever musical comedy is played. In 1 the matter of production. MT. Woods 1 gave the scenic artist carte blanche, | and the luxuriousness of the fittings l and decorations has called forth the 1 highest praise from all who have seen l them Then MT. Woods set about l to engage a cast of players to sup ] port Eltinge with the result that the 1 program shows the company is prac- 1 tically one of stars. Among these
 might be mentioned Dallas Welford, l Jane Oaker, and Mrs. Stuart Robson, 1 Julian Eltinge and Cousin Lucy" will | appear at the Parsons Theater on } Christmas Day for two performances.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
 FOR KEENEY PATRONS

Ina Claire and Carlyle Blackwell, two of the country's best known screen stars, play important roles in ''Puppet Crown,' the feature of the photoplay program at keeneY's Friday and Saturday. This is one of the pig attractions of the week and the man. agement believes it will attract large audiences on both days.
 Tonight's feature will be Marguerite Clark in "Seven Sisters" the great New York Lyceum hit. The play in it's pictured form made most fla vorable impression last evening. It is a big thing for movie presenta- tion and the wealth of detail which attends it has been looked after skill fully by the producers
 The Posing Warriors and George and Girtie Dupree, singers and danc- CTS are the vaudeville favOrites this week.
 The keeney management is plan ming to distribute useful presents among it's patrons during Christmas week There will be some articles of value given away as Xmas reminders to the Keeney fans at every perfor- nance during the week.

 had gotten my package of gifts ready a week beforehand to be sure they would be on time," she said. The family to whom I send them are the only people with whom I ex- change gifts. They didn't send mine until the day before Christmas, and I got them three days after. I SUD- pose it was silly of me to mind, but everybody about me was having Christmas gifts on Christmas Day and I wanted mine then"
 Christmas Gift Not a December 2Sth
 Gift.
 A Christmas gift takes part of its savor from being a Christmas gift not a December 2Sth gift. Of course there are occasions when unexpected delays will make you tardy in spite of con- scientious efforts to be on time. but there arc many people who are hab- itually careless about getting their presents off. I know one mother whose daughter lives in a city some two hun dred miles away. "Iucy's gifts have not come yet" she told me last Christmas, they always come from three days to a week late. She never starts them until the day before Christmas and last year it was the day after.''
 There are times when carelessness

Christmas Thoughts

borders mighty close on selfishness, I should say this (and similar cases) belonged to that class.
 The Unexpected Christmas Gift
 "Every year I give one unexpected Christmas gift a friend said to me the other day: that is, I give to some person who isn't on my regular list, someone to whom I have never given before and never shall again. I try to pick out some person who hasn't much of the unexpected in his or her life. It's not always a very poor person, you know but someone with a rather drab, monotonous existence, who will be able to appreciate the ex- citement and stimulus of that bit of the unexpected.
 I like that idea, don't you? { We All Have Yeaning For the Un-
 expected.
 We all have yearning for the un- expectedly pleasant thing to happen now and then. A pleasure or a gift takes on double value from being en- tirely unlocked for. Who hasn't sat at the window and watched an ex- press team approaching, and, know ing that he had nothing he could req sonably expect, nevertheless chung to the fantastic hope that the team would stop and the expressman would come rushing up the steps and deliver some fascinating bundle at the door?
 We are grateful for the routine gifts, of course, the more or less ex- pected gifts, but it is the one unex- pected out-of-th e-routine remem- brance that warns the cookies or our hearts and gives that longed-for touch of piquancy to our existence.

I'll make it to match her new green velvet suit, about fourteen inches long and ten inches wide, sew them up to form a bag, leaving it open a little down each side and gathering 1t together at the base, ending it with a long green silk tassel A few inches up, I shall sew on a band of Chinese embroidery bor- dered by a narrow band of skunk fur For lining, here is bright blue or lemon yellow silk. The top of the bag is sewed over two large Chinese bracelets of imitation jade and held together by strap Of velvet which snaps into place; the sewing of this is covered by a jade ornament.
