This will be the biggest dramatic production ever offered in New Britain and is of such high order of merit that it deserves capacity attendance throughout the week. The Three Twins is one of the most enjoyable musical comedy productions of the stage, and it will be presented this week with addi- tional actors for speaking parts and a chorus of sixteen people. The ad- vance sales are very large and indi- cate capacity houses and also suggest the necessity of securing seats early.
 Miss Galloway will sing "Cuddle Up 8 Little Closer" and Little Girl Up There" and Miss Bolton will sing and dance the "Yama Yama Man" num- Der. Mir. Birch will give the Dr. Hartman "Specialist' song. One of the big hits of the production will be Boo Hoo, Tee Hee" by Miss Bolton and Mrs. Hubbard.

Wright will sing 'Ever Since She Told She Loved Me I've Been Nut" MT. Perrin and Miss Flower will sing Little Miss Up to Date." The electric swing num- Der finale at the end of the first act is one of the most pleasing novelties yet shown here.
 '@The Three Twins contains ample story element to mako it interesting and easy to follow. The bright com edy and the musical numbers are con- tributions to the success of the at traction. As 1t will be lavishly cos tuned and in settings of a delightful atmosphere "The Three Twins" will be pleasing to the eye.

The other comedy is The Home Breakers" a two reel Keystone comedy with a howl and scream in every scene of its two thousand feet With the above two mentioned come edy attractions Fox patrons are as- sured of a laughing treat of the sea son.
 Besides the above today's Pathe News depicting in concise and in detail the latest as well as the most impor- tant news our own country over the past week, as well as the latest news from the theatre Of war also be shown.

PLAYLET
 IS ON KEENEY'S BILL

"A Trip Down the River" one of vaudeville's best musical playlets, has been secured by the management of Keeney's for the headline attraction at the local playhous this week and if the advance notices sent by the book ing agents are at all descriptive of the act it should prove one of the biggest numbers that has played here in year. The piece has been on big time" for months and it was through a bit of good luck that Keeneys New York agents managed to get it for New Britain. There are ten people in the company which will present it. Most of them are young ladies, all tal- ented musical comedy entertainers with good records in legitimate pro- auctions. The men in the cast are singers and comedians of ability.
 The piece is said to be extremely funny and musical numbers are excep- tionally good. The act will be given with the lavish scenic accessories that were used in the metropolitan thea ters.
 Two years ago Gene Gomez, the popular female impersonater, made his New Britain debut. During his stay here he was regarded as one of lue pSSI dlLIdSLlOuS IlldL hSCIlSy hdu secured in months and he drew ca pacity audiences to the theater every day. Genes work has improved won- derfully since that time and he is now rated as a rival of Julian Eltinge for leadership in their line. The manage ment of Keeney's has secured him for this week. The performers popular ity has increased to such an extent since he played here before that this week he will draw more than twice the salary paid him on his initial appearance in this city. .....
 Another act that is expected to be winner Is "The Police Chief grip ping dramatic playlet that has been finding favor in the larger cities. It will be presented by 8 company of capable people.
 Two other high class acts will be given.
 The Hearst-Selig weekly will be the feature of the movie" program to- night.

Without doubt, the short coat is to be a tavorite for the Spring and Summer. This one Is made in Eton style and can be buttoned up at the neck and left straight at the lower edge and trimmed with braid to suggest the military idea, or, Cut out to form big scallops at the lower edge and rolled open at the neck to give quite different result. In either case, however, the garment is as simple as it is smart and so easy to make that it comes easily within the scope of the home dressmaker. The fronts are fitted by means of darts, but there arc only shoulder and under-arm seams. The sleeves arc of the regulation two-piecc sort.

A HUMAN STORY IS
 TOLD IN POLL PLAY

A human story, vibrating with real life, is told by William Anthony Me- Guire in "The Divorce Question" in which the Poli Players appear twice daily this week in Hartford. The play is replete with many dramatic situations that are tense and, although some might be inclined to say, as others have, that the play is daring in its presentation of the subject, many ministers have from their pull pits, commended the play. The play CTS will give Mir. NcGuire's play a capable presentation. The company's personnel lauds itself admirably to this play and the patrons expect a notable achievement. There are sev- eral forceful roles in the play and all of the favorites will be seen in the cast.
 This is the first time that '"rhe Divorce Question has been presented on any stage in Hartford, despite the fact that it has been 8 big success, having played one engagement at Me Vicker's Thcater in Chicago for 125 performances. Everywhere 1t has played it has been warmly received, not because it is a sensational play and the fact that it treats of an every day theme. There was a souvenir matinee this afternoon and photo graphs of the players will be given on Thursday afternoon.
