Tinsel Threaded Net Tunic.
If it's design is not too heavy there
is nothing smarter with which to save

of being all black than a fine net tunic

the best models lately launched by a

er full round skirt trimmed with a tier
of three cordings. Yelling this slip
to the knees is a loose tunic in finest
black maline bordered with gold. But
its design is delicate, and the tinsel
thread is rather dull. The only other
touch of color about the costume is q
girdle of gold beading definitely de-

Gently imported are in black satin and

sashes These strips Of WILDLY colored
satin, however. are yelled by the
transparent fabric of a full length
tunic, SO that tn cir effect is far from
striking. One of the best among these
semi elaborate or restaurant dinner
gowns is a black charmeuse whose
full skirt, irregularly Topped under at
the hem, shows glimpses of a silver
embroidered net petticoat. Threads
of silver mingle family with the en-
broideries of its girdle, and
they show even less ohtrusiye

clothes would not describe this model
as an all black gown. Yet it's silver

RURAL COMEDY AT
POLLS NEXT WEEK

No play of the present stock sea-
son has proved such a distinct novelty
at Polls Hartford theater, Is The
Big Idea" the Cohan and Harris play
in which the Poll Players are appear
ing this week. the unusual produC-
ton holding the undivided attention
of those in the audience from the
rise of the curtain until the finale.
The watching of the construction or
a play from the time that the thought
of the story enters the playwrights
mind until the end is seldom wit
messed on the stage. The working out
of the plot and the incidents which
come up to make it more thrilling
is unique and the large audiences
which are witnessing the production
are captivated by its originality. The
Players are scoring a decided success
in the play all of the favorites having
congenial roles.
An old favoritc returns next Mon
day when the Players open a week $
engagement in Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch,'' a rural comedy that
is said to contain more laughs than
any other rural play ever written.
Those who are familiar with Mrs.
Wigs, Miss Hazey, Hiram. Mary and
the others in the cast will doubtless
welcome the return of this old sue
cess which never seems to loose its
grip upon the public. The story is
we'll known. how the kind and gentle
Mrs. Wigs. herself burdened with
life's cares and worries. assists every
one i'm the neighborhood to have n
good time in life's journey and how
Miss Hazey has her love affair that
furnishes fun aplenty. The incidental
story is absorbing but the chief inter-
est lies in the characters and their
lives.

"ROBIN HOOD is

comic opera by Messrs de Koven and
Smith, will be the offering at the
Parsons theater, Hartford, on Satur-
day matinee and night
This opera will be presented by the
de Koven Opera company, an organl-
zation composed of grand opera sing
ers. In this notable cast of vocal
artists, first mention should be given
to Ivy Scott, the charming young
Australian prima donna, who made
such a success at the Century Grand
Opera in New York. Miss Scott pos
sesses a remarkable lyric soprano
voice of dramatic quality, and sings
the role of Maid Marian with an
artistic beauty worthy of the highest
praise. The title role will be sung
by Harold Blake, whose fine tenor
voice is admirably suited to the part.
r. J. Mccarthy, who originated the
part of the crying general in The
Merry Widow will play the part of
Frlar Tuck. Mr.. McCarthy's per-
Torrance of the lovable old monk is
said to be a classic.
Cora Tracy will be the Alan-a-Dale
and her rich contralto adds a new
beauty to Mr.. de Koven's best known
song. 80, Promise Me-" Another re-
cruit from grand opera is James
Stevens of the Chicago Opera COM

COLONIAL TRIO IS
PLAYING AT KEENEY'S

From a musical standpoint, the act
OF the Colonial Trio, now playing at
keeneys, is probably the best attrac-
ton that has been on, the program of
the popular vaudeville house this sea-
son. 1t is most entertaining spe-
cialty and all music lovers in the city
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see it. The members are
talented singers and they offer a pro-
gram of popular and classical airs
that is of excellent quality. Chief
among the soloists is Miss Ida Butler,
a vaudeville singer of national repu-
tation. Miss Butler has a beautiful
soprano voice and it's wide range and
f1eXibilty, as we'll as its velvety tones,
is amply shown in her rendition of
THE Last Rose of Summer 1t is
we'll worth the price of admission Just
to hear this solo. Miss Butler is lib
eraly applauded every night, the
Keeney audiences showing full appre-
citation of her ability. The act is
well dressed and the colonial re-
gala with which the members are
adorned enhances their appearance.
Singing his own compositions as
we'll as those of other we'll known
writer's of popular songs, Bernie
Grossman of the team of Bernie and
Herman, makes a favorable impress
sion on the audiences. Bernie is not
only a song writer of skill, but is a
singer as we'll He gives an enter
tanning rendition of several hits His
partner is q clever pianist and is also
a dancer of ability.
Another song and dance act that
goes well is the contribution of Ber-
nard and De Haven They present Il
travesty on the Boy Scouts, interpo
lating some songs, and finishing with
a dancing number that is above the
average.
The Marines do some classy jug
Cling and the Wizards give an cXhibi-
ton of chair balancing, the equal of
which has not been seen here.
Numbered among the pictures to-
night will be the Pathe weekly, which
will have some interesting scenes from

NOTED SINGERS FOR

The Catholic Choral Union is most
enth usiastic in announcing the conf
ing of Carl Schlegel and Herbert Z.
Stedman for the baritone and tenor
solo work of the concert May g.
Mr.. Schlegel comes for a return Ell
gagement, and those who heard him
in the solo work of Dubois Seven
Last Words of Christ" two years ago
will remember his commanding per-
sonality and able rendition of his
part. He is member of the Metro
politain Opera company, of New York,
and he has appeared very successful
ly as Peter in Hansel and Gretel. His
engagement with the Catholic Choral
Union proceeds an engagement to tour
with the Russian Symphony orchestra

concert tenor, who is at present a
member of the quartet of the Asy-
lum Hill Congregational church under
the direction of +. T.. Laubin, organist,

ton sreets his coming.

At times that color is of an exceed

"HEART OF MARYLAND"
AT FOX'S TOMORROW

Mrs. Leslie Carter in her former
stage success, The Heart of Mary
land" which comes to FoX's tomorrow
and Saturday will give the motion
picture fans of this city an oppor-
tunity of seeing this great emotion
al actress in her first big successful
screen production. The Heart OF
Maryland' was made into motion-pic-
lures from the original stage manu-
script by David Belasco, and although
fairly we'll known, the story is given
here in brief: Maryland Calvert at
the beginning of the Civil war, en-
deavors to prevail upon her sweet
heart Alan Kendrick, to cast his lot
with the Southern cause. Kendrlck
feels his duty impels him toward the
North, and acts accordingly. Colonel
Thorpe, q rival of Hendricks for
Maryiands hand, joins the Confeder-
ate army General Kendrick, Alan's
father, resigns his commission in the
Union army and assumes command OF
a Southern Brigade. A year later,
Alan is captured within the Confeder-
ate lines wearing a Confederate coat
over his Union uniform. He is tried
by court marshal, with his father
presiding, and is condemned to die.
Maryland procures note to General
Kendrick, asking for q stay Of execu-
ton, but General Kcndrick has been
killed in battle and Colonel Thorpe,
Alans bittercst enemy, is in command.
Kendrick is a prisoner in the tower
Of an old church upon the main floor
of which Thorpe makes his head
quarters. Maryland appeals to Thorpe
for clemency without result, and dur
ing a violent scene she renders
Thorpe unconscious and aids her
sweetheart to escape. Kendrick re-
covering, bids the Waterman ring the
bell of the church and warn the
guards. Maryland makes her way to
the belfry. grabs the clapper Of the
bell. and the motion of the bell swings
her far out. Alan makes his esca pc
and Maryland is about to be shot for
aiding a prisoner when word comes
from General Lee removing Thorpe
and all ends happily.
