MUSICAL COMEDY
 GOOD AT KEENEY'S

Sol and Nat Fields, Harry Jackson, The Three Shaws and other enter tainers who make up the Field Brothers Stock company, which is furnishing musical comedy each week as q special attraction at Keen ey's, will be seen in "Hoity Toity" for the last time tonight, a new piece having been selected for next weeks presentation. The play used this week is a Weber and Fields production and it has been attracting wide attention and drawing capacity houses every day. It is an extremely funny bunch of nonsense and the audience likes it. The Fields are congenially cast in roles of German funmakers. They get plenty out humor out of their lines and inject plenty of spice into their work. The Three Shaws entertain in pleasing fashion, Harry Jackson makes some important comedy con- tributions and the members of the chorus acquit themselves creditably.
 Much pleasure is derived by the patrons from the act of the Two San dies. This pair of Scotch comedians and singers will win approval where ever they go. They are clever fun makers and are gifted with musical talent to a marked degree.
 Dainty Pauline Carr and Baby Carr will be remembered for some time by the admirers they are making this week. They are the most popular people on the program. They offer but a simple song speciality but the quality is of such a grade that it is regarded as one of the best numbers on the program.
 The Alimos have an acrobatic spe- cialty that pleases and Clark and Wilson in their operatic burlesQue. ''The Shopping Tour" work sufficiently we'll to give them assurance of enough engagem to keep them busy.
 "Broncho Billy" will be seen tonight in one of the principal feature pie lures on the Keeneyscope program.

LEW DOCKSTADER IN
 DAN" FOX THEATER

Fox patrons will again be accord cd a motion picture treat tomorrow night in the screen presentation of Americas foremost minstrel man, Lew Dockstader in a five-act photo- dramatzation of Civil War days en- titled "Dan,' by Hal Reid. Lew Dockstader is known from coast to coast, having toured the country with
 his big minstrel troupe and he is acknowledged to be the worlds greatest blacl1face comedian, and this screen story is the first and only mo- tion picture in which he appeared. ''Dan' is stirring tale of the Civil war days, made up in five big and powerful acts and two hundred and fifteen thrilling scenes vivid and req listic, it carries with it the proverbial punch that stamps it as a strong and
 highly interesting as well as educa-
 tional production. Three excellent rip-roaring comedies augment the program and with the ever popular
 organ recitals two hours of refined,
 pleasing and diversified entertainment
 is in store for the patrons Sunday
 evening.
 The William Fox production extra ordinary "A Fool There Was" is meetlnS W1tn great oueteoS dlu IS voted by those who have seen it. as one of the best and most sensational
 motion picture productions of the sea son. Theda Bara as the "Vampire." is excellent, while Edward Jose portrays in a masterly manner The Fool who forsakes family and friends for the soulless creature. The support ing company are all seasoned stars and Baby Runa Hodges. the clever l child actress. is most admirable and clever. Tonight is the last time this production will be shown.

SUPERB CAST FOR
 SQUAW MAN, AT POLTS

The popularity of western dramas when they really carry the western atmosphere-has long previously proven their worth and has been ap- preciated by local playgoers, so the return of "The Squaw Man" at Polls theater, Hartford next week will doubtless be welcomed by many peo- ple Since William Faversham scored such hit in this play and Dustin Farnum followed with equal success. The Squaw Man has been consid- cred one of the most typical of west ern dramas. It's star is intense, true to life and realistic ana typical.
 MT Hollingsworth will be seen in the name part, Miss Skirvin as the English girl and Miss Moore as the squaw. The other parts will have excellent portrayals. John Ellis will play big Bill the part he played in London when the Lieb1er4 company sent The Squaw Man" to England and the continent. There Lewis Wal Ter played the part created by William Faversham. Forrest Seabury, in the part of Tab-y-wana, speaks the gen. uine Ute language. Little Inez Sea bury plays the child. Little Hal which character she played with MT. Faver- sham but recently.
 On Monday souvenirs will be given to ladies attending the matinee and on Thursday the third "get acquaint- ed" matinee will be held, at which Mr. Hollingsworth and Miss Lestina will receive. There will be matinees and evening performances throughout the week.

Smart Trottem Suit of Coming
 Spring Is to Have Scrin| It Will Be No More Than Sleeved Bolero-y feta and Black Velvet Suit Has Been Or1
 By Debutante.

The smart trotteur suit of the spring is to have so scrimped a coat that it will be no more than sleeved bolnro. We must be grate- ful for the sleeves, however, which in most cases cover the wrists.
 This is not a promise that they will invariably warm the wrists. for a new type of sleeve is appearing, a "bell' variety, which begins its spreading career above the elbow. Another of its type ''bells'' from the shoulder and stops q trifie below the elbow. You will need long gloves to eke out the sleeves of the spring coatee.
 Occasionally 8 scrimped coat will have fronts joined over the chest. Be- low that joining the fronts will be shaved away to the side seams and above it cut out to the shoulders. Plenty of collar there will be, how ever, so that if your chest is exposed your neck will be covered part way around and sometimes even at the front.

"FANTASMA' WILL BE
 AT LYCEUM SUNDAY

"FantaSma.' Stupendous spectaCu- lar production of the Hanlons' great est pantomme, will be shown in five reel picture at the Lyceum Sun day evening. Those who saw the wonderful performances of the Han lon brothers can appreciate the won derful opportunities for fine pie ture. Those who were not so for tunate as to see them should not neg lect the opportunity to see the pie 1 ture. 1t presents a chance of see ing amazing illusions and tricks which made this attraction most popular The Sunday evening concert should tax the Lyceum to it's capacity. Make it a point to be one of those pres cnt.
 Patrons are reminded that the Players will appear only three days during the coming week in The Fox" This attraction opens with a matinee on Thursday afternoon and there will be two performances daily. It sug gests the necessity of making reser- vations early and those who have reg Ular sittings at performances for the first three days should pick their seats for other presentations. After the initial performance in Chicago, pre- ceding the long run in that city the Chicago Evening Post prophetically said: The Fox pleased a large au- dience greatly and if applause means anything it will be with ns for some tine." The Chicago American said: " The Fox made a big hit before a big crowd at the Lyric"
 The final opportunity to witness The Stranger which has been so popular this week, will be this even ing. Lovers of strong dramatic work with a. fine intermingling of comedy should see this fine play.
