MUSICAL COMEDY -
s. ON KEENEY'S BILL

Headed by THE Maids Of the sea-"
a big musical comedy. the bill at
Keeney's this week is strong and well
diversified and takes form as one OF
the best shows that has been given
here in many weeks. The first night
ers" were particularlXs-.M well pleased
with the chief attraction There are
sixteen people in this number. The
collection includes some clever conf
edians, pretty girls, who can sing and
dance, and entertainers that are eS-
ceptionally capable. It is a high class
act, is we'll dressed and modernly
staged, and it should give satisfac-
ton all week. Vaudeville patrons
seldom have an opportunity Of en-
1oying@a musical attraction of L. this
aaSt1bre and the efforts Of the mana ge-
ra1ent to get the turn here is greatly
appreciated. 4 .....
Contrasting with the headliner is
the dramatic sketch His Last Race
presented by Ellsey Ottke and COM

GOOD PLAY AT POLLS

If any one has ever doubted the
power of Ready Money" that doubt
will be dispelled by going to Poli's'
theater this week to see the Poltsss
Hartford Players in the play with that
title. The thought brought out Blythe
play is that tere isn't much in this
world that doesn't come on wings to
the man who can flash a big roll4of
bills. It is shown, however, that the
things which are attracted by wealth
only remain as long as wealth is there

We find that this appalling crime

the Germans had discharged another

the German embassy at Washington:
please communicate the following
to the state department: i
rThe. German government desires
to express it deepest sympathy at the
loss of lives on board, the Lusitania.
The responsibility rests, however, with
the British government which, though
its plans of starving the civilian popu-

l. In spite of the German offer to
stop the submarine war in case the
starvation plan was given up, British
merchant vessels are being generally
armed with guns and have repeatedly
tried to ram submarines, SO that pre-
vious search was impossible. Il
They cannot, therefore. be treated
