GREAT WAR PICTURES
 AT LYCEUM TONIGHT

Vivid and breathlessly interesting shown at the Lyceum this evening and Sunday afternoon and evening. These pictures are presented by the Herald through a special arrangement with the New York Sun, tell thrilling story. They depict war in all it's phases, showing it's pomp, it's horror, it's pathos and even its grim humor. There are pictures of big gun i'll ac- tion, of soldiers on the firing line, of dying men receiving the last rites of the church, of civilians fleeing before the advancing armies, of Zeppe1ins preparing to drop death from the clouds, of battleships raining destruc- tion on the foe and of cities in ruins. The men who secured these pictures were intrepid beyond belief. They could only have been obtained by men prepared to face every peril and ready to endure every hardship.
 The new pictures are much more complete than those shown in this city earlier in the winter. They en- brace wider range of subjects and form a much more comprehensive pictorial history of the great war up to the present time.
 Battle scenes in France and Bell giurn, photographs from the eastern front, picture of the Sultan of Turkey en1 barking for a review of his naval forces and the landing of Cana diafls troops on French shores are some of the subjects and still others are an armored train in the act of bombarding a village and the blowing up of a bridge in the path of German invaders.
 There is 8 grand review of the the Genman armies by their War Lord and an actual battle scene in which German company surrounded in a wood, displays a white flag in token of submission.
 All the pictures are remarxa ply clear, considering the circumstances under which they were taken, and some of them are marvels of realistic photography. The men who made them were often actually under fire.
 The moving pictures camera has shown us a continent in arms. It has followed the soldiers to their trenches and has gone with them into battle. It has shown us men lifted beyond them selves by the call of patriotism and has shown them transfigured by the glamor of the fight. It has shown history in the making and has made a record that is of the greatest pos- sible contemporary interest and that that will be of incalculable historical value in the years to come.
 New Britain people are given privilege in the presentation of these war pictures of which they should avail themselves.

LA TENA'S CIRCUS
 HERE NEXT TUESDAY

About the best circus that has amused Gardner patrons in years, La Tena's wild animal circus played to well filled tent at the Conant street grounds yesterday afternoon and evening and the big crowds were thoroughly satisfied that they had gotten their moneys worth
 There were 24 big acts, all of which found favor. There were pony drills, performing lions. trained seals, ele- plants, acrobats, performing bears. bareback rides and wire walkers, and they all deserved the applause that was accorded them
 The elephants, as Is usually the case, were objects of interest and the tricks that they performed with wal ter. Allen and two assistants showed remarkable intelligence. Capt Wes- Iey's seals were a novelty. Another act which furnished thrills
 was by Captain Hagen, who put five lions through numerous stunts, not without danger. One of the beasts 1 had spring that carried him to the top of the cage.

COHAN PLAY AT
 POLFS NEXT WEEK

It is predicted that the Seven Keys to Balpate'' will unlock the doors al Polls Hartford theater all next week to one of the briskest and-since this is a George M. Cohan play-bulliest bang-up stage entertainments that has come to Hartford in long time. It will be acted by the Poli Players.
 Earl Derr Biggers, novelist, who wrote Seven Key to Baldpate'' in it's original form, was wise young man when he temepered his own stage-crafting, inclinations and said. 'Let George Do It. For, with all due respect to MT. Bigger's gift for de- .lineating character and inventing .sit- nations, George has done it.
 The story of Seven Keys To Bald pate'' follows the good old rule of melodrama to center the interest of the audience upon some subject, in this case package of $200,000 in bills of the denomination of $1,O00, upon which the fate of all the char acters depends. Then the audience fol- lows the movement of 5 the package through a series of incidents, much of which are amusing, as the package wanders from the crooks pocket to the safe; thence to the pocket of the hero, back to another crook, from him once more to the hero, thence to the herione, thence to the villainess. thence to the chief of police, passing by way of the hermit into a grate of fire.s There is much gun play. merlin ination, rc-incrimination, capture and escape, by the way, and the charac- ters are understood to be delight.

With Lace Ruffled PetticOatS Have
 Come Lacing Fastenings for Bodices
Rose Centered Ribbon Bows Joining Fronts of Bodice Suggest Lacing Scheme Novel As Well
 As it Is Pretty

With the revival of the lowered silk, the lace-ruffled petticoats and the rose garland trimmings which contribute so materially to the deyel- cpment of modern picture gowns have come facing fastenings for bodices. Buttons, however elaborate, are too modern and hooks ar etoo practical, but long cords in silk. tinsel or ribbon are both useful and ornamental, and, tccause of the liberties which may be taken with them, give picture sque appearance to a bodice which might otherwise look commonplace.
 A case in point is sleeveless affair in black velvet which is saved from Inediocrity by the heavy white silk cordings which, twined about double row of fancy, disks, fasten it's fronts from where they cross triffle below the bust to scant inch below the waist line. This bodice has wrist long narrow sleeves. a sharply pointed yolk and tall collar with turned back front points. all of lace whose creamy tone precisely matches that or a skirt in heavy faille patterned with roses Of a deep pink shade. The skirts several straight widths are gathered to waist land all around-save for the width of the bodice's facing decorated front, where it opens over petticoat tiered with four lace hounces of uniform depth.
 That this model shows 8 mixture of two distinct periods matters not at all. it's effect is picturesque, and inci- dentally it greatly becomes the young woman whose favorate afternoon house gown it is. The same young woman has figure perfectly adapted to the carrying of picture frocks, and 9 face which looks it's loveliest when shaded by a picture hat. Presumably she knows this for her trousseau includes a garden partly frock of the type worn, Ky shepherdesses who reside on fans. It's puffy manner in pink and blue taffeta starts under a closely fitted bodice fastened from it's frill-edged

HERDS OF BUFFALO,
 .FOX'S SUNDAY FILM

"In the Days of the Thundering Herd" the Sehg frontier drama Of l'49, drama of love. adventure on 1 the western prairies is the big attrac- ton at Fox's tomorrow night. Dur ing the action. of the story herds of beasts aid in material way to- create the atmosphere of the photo-play. Tn the Days of the Thundering Herd'' is one of the most historically interesting motion-pictures ever pro- duced. The scenes were filmed on the great ranch of ''Pawnee BilP' in Oklahoma where over seven hundred Pawnee Indains maintain their tep- pes and where one of the biggest herds of buffalo now existing, roam without restriction. The scenes arc laid during the days of '49 when the intrepid frontiersman battled with the Indians for supremacy and when the scalp of man, woman or child of the white race was the token of an In dian bravery and right to be called a man. The Indians sWarned over the western prairies, their principal food being the meat of the buffalo of which there were a large number. Thousands of frontiersmen made precarious livelihood by hunting the buffalo, and among these buffalo hunters were William +. Cody (Buf- falo BilD, Major Gordon W. Liliie Pawnee BilD, etc. In those days buffalo pelt was worth about $1, and after skinning the carcass and re- moving the tongue the rest of the meat was left to fed the vultures and coy otes. For swift moking action, thrills hair-breath escapes with story that is tensely interesting, this production has no peer and should be a good attraction for the delecta- tion of the legion of the Sunday night Fox patrons. Several single reel comedies and dramas will augment the program.
 Nance O'Neil the empress of stormy emotion under the direction of the William Fox forces is offered in Princes Romanoff,' based on Sar- doil's Fedora" will be shown for the last times tonight and all Fox pat rons should avail themselves of tho opportunity of seeing it.

Pastry brushes and grease brushes
should be washed and rinsed as soon
as they are used, and put to dry. Old
tablecloths should be cut into squares
and hemmed to use over the table or

EvER-WELC0ME PUMPKIN PIE
No improvements Have Been Made On
Cooking Methods Used by Our
Grandmothero.

Our grandmothers often baked their
pumpkin pies in square biscuit tins,
and always with a scalloped rim.
While their pumpkins came without
exception straight from the field-the
heaviest golden sphere they could com.
passive Of today are in many cases
forced to use the canned pumpkin,
and excellently good it is. If fortunate
enough, however, to get the genuine
pumpkin, it seems more "Thanksgiv-
ing" to follow grandmother's example
from the start. In this case having
caught your pumpkins small sweet
sugar one preferred-wash, cut up
without peeling, scrape out all the
woody fiber, then put over the fire
on the back of the stove. Add just q
little water to keep it from sticking
on the bottom, cover closely and steam
gently for six or eight hours. At the
end of this time the pumpkin pulp
should be thoroughly cooked in its own
Juices. Take up, cool a little, then pull
of the skin with a sharp knife. Press
through sieve and let it stand over
night in a press so as to remove the
superfluous liquid. When ready to
bake, measure the pulp and to every
five cupfuls allow one teaspoonful Of
salt. half a grated nutmeg, a table,
spoonful of mace, two teasponfuls Of
ginger and large cupful Of sugar.
Beat four eggs and stir into the pump.
kin pulp, together with four cupfuls Of
sweet milk and half cupful Of cream.
Beat we'll and taste to see If it is
sweet enough. Turn into plates lined
with good pastry and bake three-quar-
ters of an hour until firm in the cen.
ter and a rich, golden brown. Serve
with good American cheese.
