"WITHIN THE LAW" =, / WELL GIVEN AT POLIS

The Poli Players outplayed them selves last night at Polls theater, Hartford in Bayard Veillers With in the Law" giving a performance that, except in several small details, was almost perfect, and in all the many curtain calls at the ends of the acts, there wererno smiles, no bows, no taking of hands as in the ordinary curtain call, but a continual tion of the part taken in the act. Marguerite Skirvin was as much Mary Turner as she faced the audience af- ter the act as she was during the act
 The play opens in the office of Ed ward Glider, a department store own CT in New York. Mary Turner, a shop girl, has just been sentenced to prison for three years fora theft which she did not commit. She is brought in, and after pleading in vain with Glider to raise the wages of his girl employees, prophecies that, when she has served her term, she will pay him for what he has done to her. The second act displays Mary in her apartments, four years later a crook living within the law f1eecing unsuspecting and yet never breaking the law. Several other clever crooks are introduced. Mary has met Rich ard Glider, the department store owners son, and he has fallen in love with her. He marries her, not knowing what she is. This is where Mary begins to pay the debt which she owes her husbands father. But she is unable to continue; a succession of events in the next two acts cause her to fall in love with her husband, and this love she finally acknowledges. A melodrama of the better sort-of the best sort-the play is. For stock company-even for a company which is not stock-it was extremely well done. Congratulations are cer- tainly in order.
 In one of the boxes of the theater was H. P. Maxim. the inventor of the silencer used in the play, with a party which included Mrs. Maxim Hayden Flames of Cleveland, formerly of this city; Mrs. T. B. Chapman and Miss Priscilla Chapman.

1. A single piece of material is not to be regarded as the nucleus for a skirts drapery. Often the silk or satin is cut into several strips and separately applied, and were one not assured by a reliable modiste that these sections are draperies, they might be mistaken for nounces of unusual shape and placing. The placing is par tlcularly puzzling. One is not accus toned to seeing a so-called drapery starting at the Empire waist line only few inches below the armp1ts- Of bodice. Yet this is what happens to a black tulle dance frock whose draperies consist of a double tunic, or twin f1ounces, of the pleated transpar- ency, deeply scalloped at the lower edges. The shorter tunic, starting under a girdle of silk roses, drops to below the hips, while the longer one falls to the knees and upon a full, round skirt of white lace, whose de- sign is jet bead outlined. This is breaking the silhouette with a ven- geance, and in a way not to be &C., ccmplished by the former scheme of using draperies as a single piece of material.
 But it is among the silk frocks that
 
 dency to depart from the path of con- ventionality Here the draperies are placed as are f1ounces, but not actual " shaped like them, because a either side of the figure they are markedly longer than at front and back yet at the same time are a trif1e caught up. This sort of treatment creates havoc with the line between waist and feet and yet, oddly enough, it becomes many women who firmly be- lieved that the only possible skirt for them was the one going the straight and narrow way A fetching example of the oddly shaped double drapery IS a model whose hounces of old blue faille have a fascinating way of point ing deeply at either side, albeit a trif1ing ripping because caught up. Each of these four points is finished with a tassel not too small to be over- locked. The founces drape a skirt of

"Kreutzer Sonata" l"
Wea Ter.

I have written that which will live in the hearts of men because what l have set down is penned from my heart"
 With these words Count Leo Tol- stoi, eccentric and lovable genius, and implacable enemy of sham and hypocrisy laid down his pen as he finished the last sheet of "Kreutzer Sonata" His words were prophetic. In the work which William Fox has plcturized for the screen, featuring Nance O'Neil and a great cast which will be shown at MT. Fox's local the ater next Friday and Saturday. It is a story that thrills, and pulsates with great currents of life. It is unsur- passed in dramatic intensity and forms a mighty symphony of human passions and emotions. Count Leo Tolstoi stands out in literary history as one of the most commanding figures of modern letters
 'kreutzer Sonata" and Anna Kar- enlnI are unquestionably his most Virile and effective works. Each has been translated into every Ian- Suage of the civilized globe and both have created discussion and comment for their extraordinary power wher- ever they have been read or acted.

Cruthers 'The Three of Us" in play form, toured the world to great success for many years, and is 8 stirring romance of the gold regions, where the stern law of every man for himself quickly separates the weak from the strong. In conjunction with The Three of Us" the eleventh epi- sode of ''The Exploits of Elaine dealing with The Hour of Three" will also be shown making tomorrow and Thursday as is customary, a double attraction day. This episode is cer- tainly thriller teeming with action and suspense, and it will in all prob ability be voted the best yet. Perry Bennett buys Elaine a wrist watch Another purchaser then moves to the counter and demands a watch identi- cal with the one just sold Bennett He is served, and exits with the watch in his possession. The purchaser of the second watch makes his way quickly to the abode of the master criminal, to which he affixes a small needle treated with a virulent poison and so governed by the works of the watch that at any designated time it will shoot forth and prove the doom of the Wearer.

Apron DraperieS for Skirts Are
 Back Again But Were Expected
They Lie Flatly Against the Skirt and Preserve Long Lnes-Pletty for Southern Wear for
 Garden Parties

black Chantilly in two sections, the uppermost closely gathered to ruffIe and stand out from the very scanty lower one. Of matching faille is a sleeveless bodice gathered at the sides to form a curiously pointed basque
 while at center of back and front it barely reaches the waist line: It goes cn above a black Chantilly blouse
 whose tight, long sleeves, finished with the narrOWest of silk cuffs con- trast quaintly with peasant, frill- finished neck under-run in absurdly infantile fashion, with a blue faille ribbon.
 Apron draperies for skirts are back again, but they were not unexpected, for there were hints of them last summer, A great many of them are now to be seen, but none are of the tablier type. Of all the new draperies, these aprons do most to preserve long lines, for they lie flatly against the skirt, and for some distance below the hips, restrain it's flare. On one of those ensnaring frocks of lowered taffeta-this time in plum color and hlue-the apron drapery would be a perfect diamond in shape, were not it's fourth point squared off where it is fitted to the waist band. The op- posite point all but touches the hem of the untrimmed underdreess, while the remaining two extend half across the sides, about at the knees. A mar row frill in blue tulle outlining the apron is repeated on the surplice bodice, whose long, closely fitted sleeves are of thetransparency. If you are not at present wearing one of these lowered taffetas in Florida or Southern California, this model is a good one for the garden party frock which you will need next summer.

GREAT JUGGLER ON
 KEENEYS PROGRAM

Among the interesting features of 1 the show at Keeneys' this week is the 1 act of the Great Chiyo, the famous l Japanese balancer and foot juggler. l This clever little fellow has some l mighty interesting feats in his re- pertoire and his act made hit with l the first nighters. Chiyo is a new ! arrival in this country and it is i through good work on the part of Ambassad dor Gerard that he is now performing. With other members of his race as well as English, French and Russian subjects, Chiyo was made a prisoner of war in Berlin, Germany, some three months ago. , He was performing in the German | capital at the time and his protests that he had no intention of fighting
 against the kaiser's forces availed him
 not. The little Jap says that while
 the Germans are extremely kind, their treatment of the prisoners of war could be improved. The food served to him was Chiyos principal cause
 for complaint He told a Herald man today that the menu consisted of
 coffee for breakfast, potato soup for
 dinner and a paste made from flour
 and water for supper He was one
 of the most pleased men on the con- tinent, he says, when the American
 ambassad dor, who is looking out for the interest of the allies in the Ger
 man capital, secured his release.
 The bill this week is without
 headliner. Not that the acts are of
 mediocre worth and undeserving of
 such distinction but owing to the
 fact that all numbers are\ of such
 high merit that it would be difficult
 to single out one for special position
 One of the most entertaining num-
 bers is that which presents The
 Three Boyds. These are versatile en-
 tertainers of the first rank They do
 some good singing. play a variety of
 Irish and Scotch musical instruments
 and do some clever dancing.
 The Two Girls in Cork offer
 novelty that has some very pleasing
 features. They give good limitations
 of minstrel men, sing acceptably and ! show class as opponents of the danc- ing art. Bud Snyder and company offer a
 comedy bicycle act that is above the
 ordinary. Bud does some great stunts on wheels. His cycle jumping is one of the most sensational fea- lures of an act of this kind that has been seen heer in a long time
 The Farrels do some up-to-date dancing and sing pleasingly.

THE THREE OF US"

Marie Doro, that celebrated and popular star and one of the most charming actresses on the stage to- day, makes her debut in motion pie lures in this film.
 The theme of the play is both re- freshing and absorbing in it's originc aHlF. The unfolding of it's plot de- Nelops one of the most delightful loVe stories that the stage has pro- Nloed. The selection of Miss Doro TOT the role of Carlotta could not be improved upon. Her wonderful dark eyes and delicate beauty are indeed suHlclent to upset the dignified Sir Marcus. The entire supporting cast is exceptionally well chosen and make .iis picture screen offering long to ne remembered. This film will be sEoWn today only with several comedies to augment good evenings enjoyment.
