THE FOX' NEXT PLAY
 AT LYCEUM THEATER

''The Fox will be the next attrac- ton at the Lyceum and patrons are reminded that only six performances will be given. Matinees will be given on Thursday, Friday and Saturday af- ternoons, the only three days on which The Fox will be given. It is there fore, advisable to phone or call early to have the reservations made Per sons having season reservations ap- plying to the first three days of the week Will confer favor by arrang- ing for their seats for other perform ances at an early date.
 The Fox is a wonderful play, be- ing one of the "Raffles'' order. The author, Lee Arthur, has been a sue cessful writer. He gave the stage "The Auctioneer' and other good plays The title given the play is the name applied by police author lties to most skillful safe-cracker, who had piled his work so we'll that police had never knowingly laid eyes on him. Criminal operations seem almost to be a fad with the fox. Peter Delaney, the fox, resolves in the later years of his life to reform and se cures from his sen, a multi-mlliOn aire, ample means with which to live. The dull responsibility resting on old Peter alm Ost Overcomes him. Occa- sionally he goes to visit his son, Roger Delaney, who despises the father and openly treats him with discourtesy. The wages of sin are wildly DOT trayed By the Lyceum Players it will be given as. perfect presentation it ever had.
 ''The Stranger which is being given this week, merits capacity attendance at all performances on account of the clever presentation.

Then the entire audience is invited to go on the stage and be presented to Miss Skirvin and MT. Ellis.
 The presentation that the players are giving of Margaret Mayo's comedy hit, Baby Mine" is adding to their popularity, for this delightful farce is, in many respects, one of the laugh ing hits of the century.

"HOITY TOITY" IS
 A BIG KEENEY HIT

Brimful of mirth-provoking situa tions, a dialogue that is rich in hum or and an interspersed repertOry of popular songs, "Hoity Toity," this weeks offering of the Fields Stock company, which is serving as Keen ey's headiner, is without question one of the best musical comedies that has been given in New Britain in long time "Hoity Toity" is a nonsensical Weber and Fields piece. It has no real plot and solves no serious prob- lems. Nevertheless it is most enter taining and the patrons of the play house seem to enjoy it. The Fields acquit themselves creditably and ex- tract all the humor that was injected in the piece by the authors. The work of Harry Jackson, who is doing duty as the Hebrew comedian of the com pany, is deserving of special praise. Harry is an extremely funny char acter actor and he contributes much of the fun while the act holds forth The Four Shaws, including Mother Shaw, who plays the part of the near bride, is daily winning approval. The audience is particularly impresse' with Annette Shaw, the clever con- medicine, who is appearing in +'2r soubrette role. The chorus sings and dances in most acceptable fashion.
 Next to the headliner, the Two Sandies will be found in popular opinion. This clever team of enter tainers sing. dance and entertain with bagpipe selections, all their numbers having a Scotch flavor that is most agreeable.
 Pauline Carr and Baby Pauline con- tinue to find favor for their singing Miss Carr makes distinct hit with the ballad, You're Always Welcome at My House. while the juvenile member of the team gets round of applause for My Croony Melody"
 Tho Three Alimos do a nun Der of difficult feats while Clark and Will son, operatic singers, make a hit with their burlesque, The Shopping Tour'' They have good singing voices and have made a happy selec- tion of songs.
 The Pathe Weekly will be num- bered among the Keeneyscope fea- lures this evening.

William Hodge, who made "The who is now enjoying such pronounced new popularity in his latest chaacter creation of young Jim Whitman, in ''The Road to Happiness" is to be seen here at the Parsons theatCr, Hartford, tonight and for the balance of the week with Saturday matinee.
 Hodge is unique in his personality and dramatic art. He has the typical Yankee physique and features, the voice that can be made so admira ply to reproduce the slow drawl and cool accents of the Yankee or Hoosier speech, and that keen and shrewd in dividuality which gets across the foot lights in the most fascinating manner It was the late James A. Herne who discovered" the peculiar talent of the inimitable Hodge and specially se- lected him to create the role of Free man Whitm arsh in Sag Harbor" He followed this up in Edward Kidder's Sky Farm,' as the ludicrous Stephen Fully, the boy who threw fits. Then came his odd Captain Hummer in George Ade's, Peggy From Paris" His next signal achievem ent was as M.

Pike in Booth Tarkington's Man From Home" Hodge won fame and fortune as Pike and starred in the play for six consecutive years.

Is your house gown individual? Is ii in harmony with your environment Most important, is it suited to your type of comeliness? The house gown should be taken with more serious ness than many women have learned to devote to it. It may be as pictures que as one cares to have it and still be within the limits of conven- tionality.
 When the house gown first began to acquire sway in the fashionable ward robe the large woman refused to wear it. It's many hounces, ruff1es and rib bons did not become her. and she knew it. Nevertheless, she regarded half enviously, half admiringly the slender ones who f1uttered about draw ing rooms in frilly creations which would have been dinner dresses had their necks been lower and their sleeves shorter.
 Copied Marble Drapcries.
 Then one determined, statuesque beauty clamored so preserveringly for "scmething which would be frilly without being silly" that her dress maker copied a marble lady's drape- ries There was the long tunic, caught together at the armtops and again at the hips and dropping loosely from the shoulders. Graceful and eminently becoming it was, and conventional enough for an artists studio, but not modest enough for a modern drawing room. So an underslip, with sleeves and a slightly cut out neck, was added and To, "Junos' house gown became an affair of picturesque-yet Withal mod dest-beauty, besides which the frivolous one of her petite sister sank into insignifiance.
 From this idea house gown models have never strayed far. Sleeves vary m length and in shape, and so do trains, but the loose folds starting near the shoulders prevail, and every lovely long line is emphasized. White

The dress that has become too shabby or out of fashion to wear, should not take closet space. If you have not an old trunk in the attic in which the dress can repose in a made up shape, rip it up and neatly fold the pieces in a roll and put them into a drawer. There will come a future time when the material will be just the thing you need.

Mail Savings Plan
Open to Every One
Patrons of Offices in Rural Dis
tricts Will Benefit by New
Order by Burleson

Every person in the United
States ten years old or over may
open an account in a postal saw
ings bank after June 1, accord
ing to an instructive leafet on
the Postal Savings System just
issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extern
sion of the service will be made
possible by permitting persons
living in communities so sparse
ly settled as not to justify the
designation of their local post
offices as regular postal savings
banks to open accounts by mail.
Under the plan adopted by
the Postmaster General for
opening accounts by mail an in
tending depositor, residing
where there is no regularly des-
ignated postal savings bank, will
apply to his local postmaster
who will see that necessary iden-
LITIGATION data is prepared and
forwarded to a nearby post Of
flee authorized to accept de-
posits. The intending depositor
will then be given permission to
forward his first and subsequent
deposits by money order or reg
istered mail direct to the post
master at the banking point for
which receipts or certificates will
be issued. He may withdraw all
or any part of his postal saw
ings by mail and on demand to-
gether with any interest that
may be due him.
The new leafiet points out that
any person ten years old or over
may open an account in his or
her own name; that an account
may be opened by a married
woman free from any control or
interference by her husband;
that post office officials are for
hidden to disclose to any person,
except the depositor, the amount
of any deposits; that withdraw
ais may be made without previ-
Gus notice; and that the Gov
eminent guarantees to repay all
deposits on demand with accrued
interest.
Postal savings receipts have
broken all records the past year.
During the eight months prior
to April LIST there was a net
gain in deposits of $19,000,OOO
as against a gain of $8,0O0,OOO
for the same months the year
before. Thousands of new ac-
counts have been opened and the
millions made up largely of hid
den savings have been turned
back into the channels of trade
Just at time when there was
pressing demand for every dol
lar.
