of high calibre. Abe Leavitt heads the host of entertainers and with him is that ever popular laugh provoker, John Barry whose funnyisms have long been famous among theatergoers. Barry is an eccentric comedian. Among the other principals and spe- cialty entertainers are Billy. Evans, Mack, Eddie Mack, Vincent Ducey, the famous Barbary coast dancers, eight English dancing beauties, eight buck and wing dancers and thirty lady musicians.
 One of the strongest features of the organization is the chorus of careful ly selected musical" girls. Every member of the chorus is a competent solo musician. In the finale of the first act, the girls take part in a grand military drill, in which each member of the chorus plays upon a brass or reed instrument, creating a fanfare of melody that is very re- markable.
 Manager Moe Messing of the Grand went to Boston last week to see this show and on his return pronounced it a worthy production in every re- spect. Patrons of the Grand are asked to remember that New Year s week is always a big week and they should procure their tickets in ad- vance as the public is already buying briskly for the engagement and ca pacity houses are looked for.

THE RAVEN" AND
 "SOLD" AT KEENEYS

No more fascinating, no more tragic and no more compelling photo play than '"The Raven,' picturization of Edgar Allen Poe's mastkrpieca has ever been shown in this city. A large audience was thrilled by it's powerful dramatic features and the lesson 1t sends home at Keeney's last evening It made a remarkable impression and Judging from the advertising it re- ceived today, another capacity house will witness it tonight when it will be shown for the last time in New Britain. The picture is in six parts. Playing the leading roles are Henry B. Walthall and Warda Howard.
 Another big feature for tonight, and tomorrow; as we'll, will be the sensa- tional emotional drama. Sold" as acted by the popular actress, Pauline Frederick. Billie Reeves will be seen in his latest comedy, ''No Smoking" which incidentally will be shown on Christmas Day.
 On the vaudeville bill are W. B. Callum and company in "A Night With the Poets." one of the best en- tertainments ever given here. Libby, Blondell and company offer amusi.. cal comedy in miniature form and the Flying Ringlings do some specta- cular trapeZe work.

Wait Awhile

ure of time and nervous energy. But
 if I wait awhile and then try again, more than make up the time l have lost in the greater facility that fol- lows that fresh start.
 A woman who does bookkeeping tells me that she knows of no better cure for long column of figures that refuse to add correctly or balance that consistently comes out wrong than to put the whole thing aside for a few minutes, calm down, and then try again.
 Let the Child Alone Awhile. .
 Sometimes when you cannot make child do something you want done
 it is better not to push your point too hard. Wait awhile and try again. The irritation and antagon- ism which has flared up in that little brain may have died down, and you
 will certainly be able to command your own voice and temper better. That is of course just one of the many manifestations of tact that one
 must learn to show in dealing with children. Indeed, isn't that just what | the wait-awhile-and-tr -try-again method | always is-tact tact in dealing with | others when others enter into the case ] tact in dealing with yourself and in- | animate objects when they are the | factors in the difficulty. And believe me, one needs tact in dealing with | yourself and inanimate objects when they are the factors in the difficulty And believe me, one needs tact in 1 dealing with oneself just as much as | with anyone else.

RUTH BYRON, A 
 PRETTY ACTRESS

Sweet, pretty Ruth Byron has been engaged to play the second business in the Alfred Cross company, which opens Christmas afternoon at the Ly- ceum theater.
 Miss Byron will play "Amy Cart wright in Under Cover" and have an opportunity to show her emotional qualities in the detective scene. Pos sessed of a pretty figure, a luxurious head of natural blonde hair and un- questioned talent as an actress, and a singer, it is easy to realize how she has filled such fine engagements as she has in the operatic spectac1es, 'The Wizard of Oz,' and it "It Hap pened at Nordland." Both full of songs and dances, she made a hit. Afterwards Miss Byron went into the serious business and assumed many principal roles in stock companies at both Cleveland and Detroit. More beautiful gowns will be exhibited by this charming little lady and femin- inc patrons will have their fill

 "I didn't get her." she said.
 They didn' answer?"
 "No, but they gave me the wrong number twice"
 Why didn't you get the chief and insist on getting the right number ?" I asked impatiently.
 She Got the Wrong Number Twice.
 Well, my dear" she said serenely, T didn't think it was really worth while. When they get upset and take to giving me wrong numbers, in- stead of persisting and getting worked up, as find I'm apt to do, I wait awhile and try again. Usually I get it right off then"
 "I wait awhile and try again. isn't that pretty good philosophy. Not only for telephone troubles, but for many other occasions when things seem determined to go wrong ?

The Graduate
 Entering the World

As the members of a college or high se1aoo1 graduating class line up on the platform, it is q hard guess to tell which will be the big business and professional successes of ten years hence. Even the professors who know the young people thoroughly ares often nnystiffed.
 In a good many eases a certain de- gree of business success is assured at the start through personal pulls Many young men have fathers or uT- cles or brothers in large concerns. A handsome desk and comfortable salary Is assigned the nedgehng of the fam fly eaa soon as he acquires his degree. He may become a faithful and meth od1cal worker But he is rarely the one who pushes his concern into big ger fields
 The success attained by many com paratvely obscure fellows is a wonder both to their teachers and associates They may have had no social graces and no facility in book work But somewhere back in their make up was a certain bull dog tenacity. that knows not the word stfail'' They hang on and hang on. until the gates of opportunity open. weary of their
