"ROAD TO HAPPINESS"
 PARSONS, NEXT WEEK

The announcement that the Punch and Judy theater of New York is go- ing to send its company to give the first American performance of The Clever Ones" at the Parsons Theater, Hartford, Monday and Tuesday calls attention once more to the distinguish ed English playwright Alfred Santro. He will best be remembered by his plays: The Walls of Jerico," John Glayde's Honor" The Price of Money" "A Maker of Men," The Per plexed Husband" all of which have added to the enjoyment of the stage in this country In his list of pub lished writings are The Cave of H. fusion" Women in Love- Eight Studies in Sentiment" The Foolish Virgins" translation of Maeterlinck's Wisdom and Destiny" Life of the Bee" and other works of the great German author.
 Sutro was born in London in 1863 and educated in Brussels.
 The youth of Abraham Lincoln is said to have inspired the creating of William Hoccs new character of Jim Whitman In "7he Road to Happiness. " the play in which that former fam ous Man from Home" has been sue ing such q sucCess this season in Boston and in which he is to be seen at Parsons Theater next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Like Honest Abe" in his carly days as a carpcn- ter and rail-splitter. studying law by the pine knots, young Whitman Is a village jack-of-all trades and carpen- ter and would-bo lawyer He has the same spirit of Yankee grit and he lief in the future that characterized Lincoln and also Tiucoln'tz curious minGnne of droll humor with deep wisdom. Hodge hmse1f declares that while playing this role of Jim Whitman he always has the youthful Lincoln in his minds eye.

LUNCH SERVED AT
 POLTS SOCIAL EVENT

The very large advance sale of seats for today's matinee at Polls was ample evidence that the "Get-Ac- quainted" matineeS, introduced by Manager James Thatcher, are to be- come very popular. This afternoon witnessed the first of these theatrical social events, as they might be called. Miss Madeline Moore, the dainty in- genue of the Poli Players, and Roy Phillips, the juvenile, are the two who received today. As soon as the mat inee was over all the ladies in the audience were invited to so upon the stage where Miss Moore and Phillips were pleased to see them and be- come personally acquainted. To make the party a congenial one, Manager Thatcher arranged with a local caterer to furnish a luncheon.
 The current production, ''The War rens of Virginia" is being well re- ceived by large audiences. The clever 1y woven comedy lines relieve the story of it's intensity and yet the basic idea cannot be lost sight of. Miss Marguerite Skirvin, the new leading lady, is scoring an individual hit and the other members have very prom inent parts.
 Next weeks attraction is Baby Mine," the international comedy hit which was written by Margaret Mayo and which ran for over year in New York.

Tl-z1 c

Probably one Of the greatest com edy successes from the legitim3ts stage visualized into five reels of mo- ton pictures is "Brewster's Millions," the Jesse l.. Lasky production now being shown at Foxs with Edward Abeles playing the character of Monty Brewster the same role he portrayed in the stage drama. The pho o-play follows the novel to it's minutest ge- tail and scenes that the stage succeS1 could only suggest are clearly ana Nividly portrayed on the screen. Time and expense have not been con- sidered in the producing of this film, and taken as a whole it is one of tho best screen stories presented at this popular theater for some time. Be- sides this excellent attraction the fourth chapter of "Thc Exploits of Elaine" the Hearst Pathe serial mos ton picture story was also shown. "The ClutchinR Hand" furnishes new thrill In this chapter of "The Frozen Sage" most modern bur- glar proof safe is opened by means ol a strange and wonderful method right before the eyes of the speca- tors and Craig Kennedy discovered that liquid air was stored in it by an aceomplico Of the super-criminal, The Clutching Hand" This new series with Pearl White and Arnold Daily playing the leads is certainlY arousing a perfect fever of interest with everybody asking who is her When and how will he be caught And still The ClutchinR Hand" goes through his dastardly work, neither seen nor heard and even the great Craig Kennedy cannot bring him to justice.
