COHAN PLAY
 LYCEUM NEXT WEEK

By a special arrangement with George Cohan the management of the Lyceum is able to present the Play CTS in another typical Conanesuue musical comedy during the coming week. Little Johnny Jones" is the attraction selected for presentation at this time and the theatergoers will hail the announcement of this se- lection with great pleasure. Already a number of theater parties are being made up for attendance during the week. The presentation of musical comedies has so pleased the patrons of the Lyceum that large crowds have been turned away at performances on account of the sale of all the sttings. It is therefore advisable to secure seats early and for performances early in the week:
 Little Johnny Jones' contains the brightest of the Cohan comedy and the features of Conan originality which mark his shows different from anything ever given to the American stage. The music is the popular, catchy kind that is so very pleasing l to the ear. Little Johnny Jones' cells q good story in a clever way. The 1 popular favorites of the company will l De heard in solo numbers and sup l ported With a large chorus, secured
 for this production. Some original 1 dance number will be introduced dur | ing the action of the comedy.
 "The Girl in the Taxi is one of the hits of the season. The peppery com
 edy and farce complications con-
 tribute to make it one of the most en- ! joyable of attractions. There has ] also been introduced some cabaret
 features which add to the enjoyment.
 On Sunday evening the manage
 ment presents another of it's grand
 motion picture reviews. introducing ! some of the most popular of the 1 screen stars in the program of eight ! reels of feature films.

Ways of Building and Harmonizing
 and Disgusting the Telephone Box Closet Is Best Arrangemen Where There Are No "Ex tensions"-It May Be Furnished With
 Chairs and Settees.

8 switchboard for unless there be a great many such extensions the in- coming message may be switched to the proper extension by the maid who answers the telephone.
 The rules of the telephone compan- ies allow a cord of considerable length
 generally five or six feet-from the box to the receiver, and this makes possible many arrangem ents where 1t is desirable to conceal the wooden box which contains the Telephones mo- chanism. The requirem of diff ferent households are very seldom twice the same. and the placing of tel ephones in different positions involves some very interesting arrangements. In one instance an antique sedan chair which forms one of the adornfnents of a boudoir has been adapted to form the most useful of telephone booths. The interior is covered with French brocade and the telephone box is hidden beneath the seat, an1 from this old chair, in which French noblewoman of the eighteenth century might have been carried to the court of Louis XVI, an American woman converses with friends any number of miles away.
 Very often it is desired to place the teleph one in the library, where both the receiver and telephone box may be concealed without interfering with the telephones usefulness. A space at one end of a book shelf may be used for holding the receiver, which may be hidden by the drapery with which book shelves are frequently hung and the box may be concealed behind row of books The walls of libraries are frequently panelled with wood. and behind one panel there may be shallow closet within the wall where both box and receiver may be placed.
 In 8 bedroom it is well to place the receiver upon the little table near the bedsid and the telephone box may hc concealed behind the draperies or valances with which beds are very frs quently hung. In one instance both the box and the receiver itself are plac"l within the That box" or tiny cup board-like space with which chiffon iers are sometimes provided.

"CLEMENCEAU CASE"
 BY DUMAS AT FOX'S

Alexandre Dumas is the author of "The Clemenceau Case" which will be shown at Fox's commencing with to- morrow matinee. "The Clcmenceau Case" is, as Dumas himself said "n work that thrashes society with a living whip" In it, he continued. "I have tried to paint in the most vivid colors possible the lengths to which a woman of the pantherish nature Of Iza will go when her instincts lead her. The character of Pierre Glenn enceau is based upon real life. | hay, described in detail some scenes for which I have been unjustly criticised but my reasons for doing so were to disclose the three vices whicth were to ruin first Pierre and then IzB namely, imm odesty, ingratitude and sensuality. Iza, at the beginning of the book, is q women who is unfaithful ia mind only, but nevertheless she is un- faithful. Each one of the pages that I have penned and you have read has detached itself from me as if it were q particle of the event.; which I huvo narrated. I have tried to show that there is a Divine Being who pun ishes indulgence and rewards the good and the true. If I have sue ceeded in pointing out this in Tho Clemenceau Case" l shall have gained my end An all star cast of Fox favorites gives excellent and capable support to Miss Theda Bara. "Tne Vampire Woman" and Fox patrons will be accorded motion picture treat they will not so soon forget.

William Gillette's
 Private Secretary" Produced by Tabs

1t was T. A. B. night at the Lyceurl last evening when this popular organ ization gave it's annual dramatic per formance, the vehicle this year beinG William Gillette's "The Private Sec
 retary' in three acts, which has been regarded as one of the best of stage comedies. The cast had some new faces this time but the work of each and all indicated study and there was a conscientious effort all through to bring out the salient points of the piece and to emphasize the abundance Of comedy with which the play abounds. The plot is easily under stood. MT. Cattermole comes on a visit to his nephew. Douglas Cater mole, desires him to SOW his wild oats and the latter being averse to that proposition induces Rev. Robert Spalding, who has been employed as ''The Private Secretary" to imper- sonate him and it is the various pre- dicam ments into which. the reverend gentleman finds himself that creates the greater part of the comedy. Ire Marshland family is also introduced and so are the two young debutantes, Mrs. Stead and Miss Ashford, who Is interested in spiritua1ism, also Sidney Gibson, a tailor who has con- siderable difficulty in collecting d bill from young Cattermole.
 The male parts in the play were we'll carried out, much character being imparted to the part of the clergyman by James Kitson and considerable irascibility was given to the part of Cattermole by R. B. Mclaughlin, while James Bonney was very good as the tailor. Miss Anna G. O'Brien and Miss Ruth Burkarth were the debutantes, very prettily gowned, Vii vacious in manner and as lively as two crickets. Miss Margaret O'Leary played two characters and her work howcd careful training, naturalness and an entire freedom from affectatiousness. The audience seemd to be we'll pleased and was very generous in it's evidence of commendation. This was the cast: Douglas Cattermole G. A. Collins Mrs. Stead. . .....

The tucked blouse is always a dainty nnd pretty one. This model is finished with hems on the front edges and inciden. tally, with a novel collar. 1t is high with h flaring portion attached, but since thi4 Haring portion is separate, 1t always can be omitted and the plain collar can
 be rolled open as shown in tho
 small view. Here the blouse is made
 of crepe de chine and is finished only with
 little plaited ruffling, but the blouse
 affords an excellent opportunity for
 needlework on the plain spaces between the edges and the tucks and the little en,. broidery will of course add to the effect. Blouses of this kind are made from a

 the voiles are found in infinite variety,
 they allow ample opportunity for choice. Sand color Is being much used for wear with the tailored suits whenever the Colof harmonizes, but white Is always in good taste always correct.

With the telephone one of the most widely used of all household utilities there have come all manner of clever and ingenious methods of ar ranging for it's installation. The tclc- phone demands a treatment which is highly practical. and the necessity of so arranging it that it's benefits may be enjoyed without interfering with the tasteful arrangement of the house may well be studied.
 In most homes the telephone is with out "extensions" into the different parts of the house, and the most suc- cessful method of placing it would be to plan a telephone closet. The closet may even be large enough to be called a telephone Toom.>It may be tastefully furnished with chairs and settees, and the receiver may rest upon table or desk, and the wooden box which contains the necessary apparatus, or mechanism, be concealed beneath or behind the desk or the table. Here there should be the pencils and mem- oranda pads needful for the correct receiving and recording of messa geS.
 The chief advantage of placing the telephone in such a closet or room is not only that it may be used with all possible privacy, but also because it is sometimes quite difficult to carry on Q conversation over the telephone if other conversation is going on near by. It is awkward to have to request Q pause in the conversation or stop in the music and to have to resume telephone conversation in the strained silence which ensues. With the tele- phone in a wholly separate room one may close the door and be very near ly as close to the friend speaking ss though no space intervened. Where there is no separate closet or room 1 available for the purpose the next best method of placing the telephone would be in an upper hall. in cor ner beneath the stairway or in some other place sufficiently near the cen l ter of household life to be convenient and yet sufficiently removed to be 1 practical.
 Many homes are equipped with a number of extensions to different parts | of the house, or to different depart 1 ments of the estate if the home be in 1 the country. This need not necessitate

FRANKIE FAY IS
 LIKED AT KEENEY'S

Among the features of the show at keeney's this week, the act of Frankie Fay, the popular comedienne, stands out conspIcuously. While Frankie is but lone entertainer. her work is of such a high standard that 1t ranks with the special attractions and seem- ingly pleases the patrons as much as any of the big numbers. Miss Fay is an inimitable singer and leicester. She is bubbling over with good na- ture and her personality radiates all over the house. She captivates her audience at every performance and proves to be one of the biggest ap- plause getters on the bill. Her char acter Representations are spIendidly done and her singing makes a most favorable impression. Little acts such az that which she presents are some- times far more entertaining than the big and expensive numbers for which the managers of vaudeville theaters are constantly searching the field.
 Alvarados line of batter which flows constantly during the per- torrance of his goats and other animals Is an important factor in the success Of his act. Alvarado is an original entertainer. He has a style that n peculiar and 1t newness makes it popular. His animals are we'll trained and they give a performance that is most interesting. There are num- Der of amusing features in this act.
 Van Holland and Southern have a musical sketch which they designate as Dutch Love-" It is staged In elaborate fashion. The scenery is ex- ceptlonally pretty and the effects are extra ordinary. The pair have good singing voices and they are heard 10 advantage in a number of popular song hits.
 The dancing of the Imperial Four is we'll worth seeing. This quartet is made up of Russian entertainers. who are exiled from their own coun- try on account of the war. They in- troduce several sensational numbers that arc new and they go big with the audience.
 The Cop and the Messenger is tho title of very entertaining little com edy sketch presented by Scott and Raynor.

This play ere ated much interest on it's premier per formances here at that time because the producers saw fit to withhold the nature of the story until those In the audience heard it. and it is matter of local theatrical history that they were agreeably surprised. It is novel play in it's construction and its story is as unique. It Is mighty in- teresting and it's development is eagerly followed. The mere fact that George M. Cohan and Sam Harris are associated with the production of this play is sufficient to arouse widespread interest locally in the play for thou sands of local playgoers have come to affix the stamp of approval on any play that these popular producers offer.

NEW BELASCO PLAY
 PARSONS NEXT WEEK

'"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,' Eugene Walters dramatiZation of John Fox Jr's. widely read story of the same name, was presented at the Parsons theater in Hartford this afternoon and will be presented again this evening. It is a play that has met with tremendous success wherever 1t has appeared. The play shows the brilliant dramatist, Eugene Walter, at his best. and MT. Walter followed the scenes as they were laid in the original story by MT Fox, with fidelity, though he has written new play rather than confined himself to a dramatiZation in its strictest sense. The delightful character of June has been emphasized and those who fol- lowed the story of her love for the engineer and met her jealous cousin Dave, the rough yet sincere and af- fectionate father, Judd Tolliver; the simple humorous Uncle Billy Bean; the primitive Ole Hun, with her pipe of clay; the strong and manly Hale, and the gentle Berkley will revel In the vistualization of the stage charac- ters and the picture of the moun- taineer's household, which are all, strikingly impressive by the mobility and breadth of their portrayal.
 Peg O. My Heart"
 Peg O My Heart" which returns to Parsons on Friday and Saturday. with matinee, is comedy of charm. The story deals with Peg, the daugh- ter of an improvident but lovable Irishman and an aristocratc English woman on whom her relatives turned their backs when she set out to Amer ica with the husband of her choice. By the will of one of Pegs uncles who repentcd on his deathbed his un- kindness toward his sister, the little Irish American maiden is brought to England to be properly reared at the expense of his estates. Peg is received into the family of an aunt, not from love. but for the sake of the money, that her care and instruction brings.
 New BcIasco Play.
 For the first time in his memorable career David Belasco will present a play in Hartford. when on Monday evening. April 26. The Love Thought will open at the Parsons theater.

Associated with Miss Boecher will be David Powell, a successful young actor. who this season came very much into popular favor in New York. in two different plays. The performances of "The Love Thought" under the personal supervision of Mir.
