REMARKABLE OLD
 STAGE COACH, POLTS

Perhaps the most remarkable old stage coach in all Connecticut is the one which is being used this week in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," the pastoral play in which the Poli Play CTS are appearing While the exact age of this anticipated buss is not known it is at least 100 years old and there are many evidences that It is nearly 150. The coach is the pro- perty of Paul c. >Ney of Hartford and Farmington and it's appearance on the stage has caused widespread interest and comment. The coach has been seen on the street with little Rebecca' s trunk on board and this too has caused much comment as to the age of the old wagon. It is, in reality, older than the one which the original producers of "Rebecca of Sunny brook Farm" used and which they secured in Maine.
 This afternoon one of the seasons s largest matinee performances was given at the Poli theater, the entire conpanv receiving the patrons inn mediately after the performance.
 The announcement that Manager Thatcher will present the Players in "A1ias Jimmy Valentine" next week has already awakened great interest among the local playgoers who are seats thus far in advance.

EMMA TRENTINI IS
 COMING TO PARSONS

Many correspondents have returned from the scene of the European con- fiict but James F. J. Archibald, war correspondent who will give an illus I trated talk at the Parsons theater,
 Hartford, tonight, is the first one to return who has followed exclusively
 the German and Austrian forces since the first month of the conflict. To
 some persons it might seem to be a detriment to have been only on one side, but no one but a veteran war correspondent or military man can
 realize the great benefit that a per son derives from confining himself exclusively to one side. MT. Arch ibald's graphic description of the enormous fighting machine now in ac- ton is doubly interesting because it is supplemented by really wonderful
 photographs taken by himself.
 Emma Trentini, the bewitching lit tie prima donna who, as a light opera star, has eclipsed the record she made in grand opera has new operetta this season. "The Peasant Girl" in which she will be seen at the Parsons theater, Friday and Saturday.
 AS an indication of the quality of
 the company supporting her-the names of Francis J. Boyle, Ethel Houston and Ernest Hare are to be noted. Two young singers of whom great things are predicted, Lefty Yorke and John Charles Thomas are leaders in the cast. And best of all Clifton Crawford comes as CO., star with Trcntini to lead in the fun making.
