MOVIES AND VARIETY
 ON KEENEY'S BILL

Juvenile performers of rare ability are the children of Mir. and Mrs. Westman, who figure prominently this week in Keeney's show The young sters are a precocious set and there is an ease and naturalness about their acting that makes them appear thor oughly at home on the stage. They are appearing with their parents in the comedy sketch, '"rhe Troubles ,of Joy,' which is one of this weeks most popular features. Both Mir. Westman and his pretty wife are clever entertainers and their chil- dren seem to have inherited much of their talent. Together the members of the family make fine company of comedians and they certainly keep their audience in excellent humor.
 Another number that is extremely popular with the audience Is the con- cert by Calvarinrs band. Lovers of music are particularly we'll pleased with this turn and the band has ttI respond with repeated encores every evening. Calvarinis impersonation .hf The Great Creatore leaves little to be desired in the way of mimicry. Ulis young Italian giving a wonderful de- lineation of the famous characttdJ. in the musical world
 Princess" Jockey McDtbwell's mathematical dog, does a number of unexpected things during the course of the. act in which she is appearing. Besides doing many of the tracks in- variably incorporated in animal srecialtes she displays marked tal- ent in mathematics, adding. subtract ing and dividing without receiving any cues from her owner.
 Lewis and Farron in a song and conversational sketch and Stanley and Charlotte. acrobatic comedians, make up the balance of the vaudeville pro- gram.

THE DRUG TERROR
 THRILLING FILM

Proclaimed the greatest motion picture ever produced, The Drug Terror" presented through the So- ciological Research Film Corpora ton and shown in cooperation with Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt's national campaign will be seen for the first time in New Britain at FoN's today and tomorrow. Great interest has already been shown toward the show ing of this film in New Britain, and with the added publicity given it by the introduction of bill into the leg islature only day before yesterday by Senator Klett making much harder thing for the sale of drugs without a prescription, the attention of New Britain social workers and the general public is centered on this big and powerful production which has been endorsed by the press and pulpit. Shakespeare said, That men should put an enemy into their mouths to steal away their brains
 and the entire production can be summed up in just these few words. The story is gripping and wonderful ly interesting. tense and highly dra- matte with overpowcring situations climax follows climax until the finale is reached and then one of the greatest lessons that has ever been prsonted on the screen Is shown. Ada Patterson, the foremost woman jour nalist in America and prominent so- cial worker says that If the present throng of victims might have seen the array of truths flung upon the screen with convincing force, there would never have been any army for us to sicken at, and deplore with heart deep pity, while Dr. Charles Fl.

"WIDOW BY PROXY"
 DOES WELL AT LYCEUM

Only three more performances of
 "Widow by Proxy" remain to be | given by the Iyceum Players at the Lyceum. Advance sales for the per- formance this evening and those of Saturday afternoon and night indi- cate the attendance of large audi ences and reflect the popularity of the offering. The comedy is 1rresIst- able and the large audiences present
 at the performances have enjoyed 1t
 immensely. The costumes worn arc
 especially attractive
 . Card organizations have filed their
 names with the management. signify
 ing their intention to take advantage of the generous offer of four box seats as g prize for the winners at sittings Of the club. The offer Is now open and will continue for some time. Those who have not already given notice of intention to avail themselves of the offer should do so immediately.
 Edmund Breese, who is so we'll known on account of his presentation of -~' Richard Brewster in Charles hletn's greatest play, 'Thc Third Degree" was one of tho chief cop tributors to the success of The Mas ter Mind," which tho management has secured by special arrangement, owing to the fact that this attraction Is one which is still under specific reservation restrictions and not avail able to all stock companies. Since Daniel Frohman saw the company composing the players in their presen- tation a few weeks ago producers and authors have made it possible to se- cure the best Of attractions for New Britain. The management has several of the best plays selected for presen- tetion and dramatic treats are in store for the patrons. These attractions are secured at very large expense.
 Shakespearian students will have an opportunity on Sunday evening of see ing Julius Ceaser' in pictures at the Lyceum. The producing cast is of the best and the great tragedy is worked out in detail so that none of the i'm portant features are neglected. Critics say it IS a splendid picture.

Some one" had been saying things about the popular songs They were not nice things at all, so we went to Mme. Olive Fremstad, she being an expert and a lovely person, to bespeak some encouraging words for our par Tor tilts. But she pronounced still more horrid anathen,as upon them, so horrid, indeed. that we felt inn pelled to print them, and here they are:
 American popular music is but an- other evidence of the frantic and 1n- sensate hunt for pleasure that mot1- yates city life. 1t is one of the many expressions of 8 devasting unthink- ingness on the part of intelligent peo- pie. And pandering to this is leer- ing commercialism.
 Words and Music Vicious
 The popular music that is so bland ly introduced into drawing rooms, that is so guilelessly sung by oA1I daughters, is vicious. The words arc evil And the music, which to some extent interprets the words, is still more immoral. The songs are sen sual, and they appeal to audiences who frequent music halls, restaurants and dance halls for that very reason. They are searching for excitement and stimulation, and find It. in tho foolish yet suggestive words in the insidious rhythm of the la'.vst rags.
 ''The reason for this telTlfying love of indecent and even -aninteresting music is easy to find," d9clared Mme. F'remstad in subdued e'1asperation as she settled back in he,r' seat during a recent rehearsal at Ga ryegie hall, New York. People do not want to think

who think that they want the wrong kind of thing. They do not want filth. They have been brought up in an en- vironment that makes them imagine they do.
 Doesn't this warm you, this mus ic?" asked Mme. Fremstad, listening to the closing strains of q symphony. And the people who cry out in joy for the other stuff would want this if they only were taught to.
 'I am no preacher, no moralst. feel that these people have been de- luded. 1 do not cry out against them or the comm ercialism which naturally gives them what they want. But I would have them taught to think, to know that the real things of life do not come easily. Let them hear good music when they are young, and they will eschew the other unspeakable stuff.
 Tn Germany tiny children are talk en to hear good music. They would not stand for this so-called popular music. And there, too, good music is cheap. It is too expensive here. It entails sacrifice, and people will not sacrifice for pleasure when they can have a substitute.
 America has few folksongs. They must arise from knowledge, and knowledge means sorrow, real sorrow. The negroes have folksongs, because they are the. songs of their slavery, the outcome of their walls, their prayers and their hopes. A few iso- lated communities in the United States have given us folksongs, spots in the west and in the north.
 Cities Cannot Give Rise to Follsongs.
 But the cities, with their frenzy, their worse than precocity, cannot give rise to a folksong. They can but eXude the vice in which and for which they were conceived. The germ of real thought, of an honest emo- tion is necessary, and who would think of searching for these and such poisonous weeds as flourish under tho name of popular song
 But then. I wonder, since no kind words came from Mime. Fremstad we will have to interview our office boy Surely he who carols will give us a brief for the street song of today.
