LYCEUM PLAYERS
 PRESENT THE FOX

"Tho Fox which opened this af- terhoon at the Lyceum, will be re- peated afternoon and evening for the balance of the week. In presenting g this attraction the management is SlVlng one of the strongest bills of the season. The cool, crafty actions of Peter Dclaney.'' whose skill in safe-cracking won for him the unique distinction of The Fox is one of the most interesting cnara ct CTS of the stage. The Fox is of much the same order as "Raffles'' and plays of the kind. The gripping, tense action of the piece takes a firm hold and the story is followed with close at tention
 The mana cement of the Lyceum is determined to convince more of the theatergoers of New Britain and vii cinity that the performances in the first part of the week are equally as good as the presentations during the latter part of the week. The plan which has been adopted to accom- plish this is through the issuance of q special ticket. A limited number of pass tickets have been issued and when presented by a person holding a paid reserve seat the pass will be exchanged at the advance sale at CrOWell's drug store for a reserved seat. The passes may be exchanged for performances on Monday or Tues day nights only. Pass tickets may be obtained at the theater or by sending in a stamped envelope with the address of the party desiring the pass plainly written. The policy of the management is to produce only the high class Broadway attra ctions and the new plan adopted will serve to convince the public the purpose is being accomplished.

Not often Is such a simple frock as this ne made SO effective. It consists of just straight skirt with plain short wasted ,ody portion. On the figure, lowered ,atiste Is used, and simple little dress esults that can be utilized for every day occasions. In the back view, founcing makes the skirt and fine sheer material he body portion. The neck has been left ,quare, and sleeves short, and the dress quite dressy enough for party wear. For the plain frock, any simple childlike material is appropriate, lawn, batiste, toile or the fine cotton crepes, and there s gingham for still sturdier wear and .hallis also Is good. For the dressy little rock can be used either founcing or some inc material with hem-stitched edge or trimmed edge. The beading at the high kaist-ine through which ribbon is passed makes pretty finish.

MUCH TALKED OF
 PLAY, NEXT AT POLlS

Taking for his story, a subject that is absolutely crying for discussion in every enlightened home, Cosmo Ham ilton the playwright, drives home lesson in The Blindness of Nirtue,' ill which the Poli Players in Hartford will be seen twice daily all next week. Daring and sensa tional though it is, it is a play that has created more dis cussion than any of the present day productions and although it's moral is one that every mother should heed, it tells in straightforward manner a lesson that needs the recital. It is a, powerful indictment of the modern fashion to fortify them in the neces- sary struggle against the evils and vices of the world.
 This week the Players are adding to their popularity through their pre- sentation of the Edward Milton Royle drama of the western lands, The SuuaW Man." The interesting story, the unique and typical situations as well as the comedy lines all combine to make the story gripping in it's in- tcrest and enterta ming.
 MT. Hollingsw orth and Miss Lestina received al this afternoons "get ac- quainted" matinee and it was largely attended, both players being popular and the event itself already estab- lished.

THEATERGOERS LIKE
 KEENEYS PROGRAM

Few singing specialties playing in New Britain receive the endorsement of theatergoers in as unqualified a manner as it is given to Warren and ArdiZoni, a pair of former musical comedy favorites, who are prominent among the talent at keeney's this week. Their turn is without question one of the best song specialties given in duo in this city in years. They are finished singers and their solos and duets are rendered in a way that demands recognition The audience is deeply appreciative and is free in expressing it's approval. While Ar dizoni is a talented baritone and his singing leaves but little to be de- sired, it is the work of Miss Warren that makes the act ''go so big This young lady has peculiar voice of remarkable range. It is sweet and resonant and it's t1exibility is ever present. In the duet, Last Night Was the End of the World,' it's tones are heard to best advantage. This number is admirably rendered and at every performance the singers receive several curtain calls.
 The comedy of the Fields brothers
 
 Der of the mirth provoking trium- verate, seems to continue satisfying to the Keeney patrons and the third week of the engagement of their com pany finds their popularity lncreas- ing. They are appearing with their company of musical comedy favorites in Aboard Ship,' condensed version of the big success of Weber and Fields. There are several good songs in the act and each is rendered in pleasing style.
 Mile Camile's dog circus is easily the most elaborate animal act that has ever played here. Not only IS the scenery and stage accessories of eX- pensiye style, but everything used is right up to the minute. The dogs are clever little animals and they dis play remarkable intelligence in the several stunts they perform
 The Great Alvora, female imperson- ator, has some fetching costumes and unusual dancing ability. His act is exceptionally we'll staged. An enter taining comedy sketch by Bowen and Bowen makes up the balance of the vaudeville program.
