THE POLL PLAYERS In
IN THE BIG IDEA

Comedy, broad farce, tragedy and
drama are all cleverly intermingled
in THE Big Idea" the Cohan & Harris
success in which the Hartford Poll
Players appear all this week. opening
with tOday's matinee at which dainty
souvenirs will be distributed
This play has been unusually sue
cessful because of its novel theme and
ITS unique twists from beginning to
end. Imagine. if you VIII, ii young
man about to commit suicide that his
father may collect $4,000 life insur-
ance and make good his embezzle-
ment from the bank and then being
saved by girl who induces him tn
write story of his experience that nc
may get the same amount of money
Tor his manuscript Thus tragedy is
turned into comedy And comedy is
turned into farce when they deliver
their manuscript to a theatrical man
ager to have it produced in play form.
And even to the very end the idea Of
novelty is carried out. ~ They leave
their story unfinished until their in
tervleT, with the producer. IF they
dispose of the play to him they pro-
pose to make the ending a comedy
but if he refuses it the young man de-
cides there is no other course than for
him to commit the suicide he original
" planned and thus turn the play into
tragedy. But the manager accepts
and it ends as a comedy.
A bit of melodrama is introduced at
the opening when the son learns that
his father has embezzled $4,000 from
the bank, of which he is president.
The son determines to take his life
and is on the point of doing so when
the girl enters upon the scent. Hart
ford theatergoers saw THE Big Idea"
last fall at the higher scale of prices
when Cohan & Harris produced 1t
under the title of Wanted, $22.
After closing it's local engagement its
title was changed to THE Big Idea"
ard under that title it was presented
in New York the following week,
here it scored a success.

Said Lillian Lorain to Mrs. Carter
(NeW ! ork Review.

Lillian Lorraine certainly has the
courage of her convictions and, as
she told Mrs. Leslie Carter behind the
scenes at the Colonial Theatcr last
week that she (Miss Loraine) was a
warm baby, too she is entitled to
belief.
1t seems that the fair Lillian was
somewhat peeyed over the fact that
the Queen of the Emotional Drama
occupied two dressing rooms on the
ground floor, while she had to walk
up and downstairs to a retreat on the
second tier.
Mrs. Carter is d stickler in matters
of 'etiquette' and is strong for main
tanning her dignity as d dramatic
star. One of her requirements Of tn @
management of the E. F. Keith thea
tiers is that she must be provided with
two star dressing rooms, and she sees
that she gets them.
Miss Lorraine went to the Titan
haired actress and declared herself on
the subject in this manner:
See her. Mrs. Carter, [ do not see
why YOU should have two dressing
rooms on the first floor while | have
only one up above. l would like to
have you know that l am a warm
baby too

Just What to Have for Dessert
Perplexes Many Housekeepers
Many Requirements Are Met By Old Fashioned Junket
Which Is Approved BY Physicians
Simply Made.

Just what to have for dessert that
will be inexpensive. nutritious. easily
prepared and not harmful for the
children is what long has been per-
picking the average housekeeper,
Most of these requirements are met
III the old-fashioned junket, which Is
rot only approved by physicians. but
which may not be prepared in SO
many different ways that it Is hardly
recognized in its plain, everyday form.
So simply is it made that a failure
is we'll nigh impossible. and as one pint
of milk will make sufficient for three
CT four persons it certainly cannot be
classed among the expensive table lux
uries. The junket tablets for making
this delicacy came in small wooden
boxes and may be purchased at almost
any grocery shop Directions for MAX
ing the more simply varieties are in
closed with each package. but for
those housekeepers who are unfamiliar
with the formula it is here repeated.
Plain Junket.
Take one quart of rich milk. add
three tablespoonfuls of sugar and one
teaspoonful of any preferred f1avoring.
Warm the ingredients until the milk
is just tepid and stir until the sugar is
dissolved. Great care must be taken
not to overhead the milk. Have in
readiness one junket tablet that has
been thoroughly crushed and dissolved
in one tablespoonful of cold water.
Pour the junket mixture into the tepid
milk and stir quickly for a few sec
ends; then pour into sherbet glasses
or one large dish: Let it stand undis-
turbed in a warm room until firm. and
remove carefully without Earring to a
cold place until ready to serve.
The following receipts are given for
the making of various other tempting
iunket desserts:

giving each individual the full product
of his toll of Drawn or brain. 1t is
to this end that all the beneficient
social forces of our day are trend
ing.
Regulated competition is unques-
tionably better than irresponsible and
uncontrolled competition. Moreover,
by the slow, sure means of exper-
fence, federal and state control of bus
mess is becoming at once more elastic
and more effective. But no perfect
ing of the mechanism of such control
can ever overcome the inherent linn

social and economic justice.
las President Wilson has indicated,
the time is ripe for cooperation
that is not exclusive or oppressive,
but rather inclusive and beneficient,
founded on the principle of the open
door, and dispensing its profits among
all who participate in it's activities &C

WILSON IS
ADVISED TO
STAND PAT
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, July THE prelim-
mary negotiations entered into with
Ambassador Gerard by Germany for
the purpose of ascertaining the mini
mum concessions which can be made
in response to the last American note
caused some members of the cabinet
to write to President Wilson advising
him to stand pat on the position he
has taken, lest more trouble should
arise later through weakening.
Germany has submitted to the Unit
ed States through Ambassador Gerard
in Berlin tentative draft of its reply
to the note of June 3, which asked for
assurance that American rights on the
high seas would not be further violat-
ed by German submarine commanders.
After careful examination of the con-
tents of the proposed note as outlined
by Ambassador Gerard, which comedies
with Berlin Press dispatches of the
last few days, high officials are prac-
tically agreed that the United States
cannot without sacrificing important
neutral rights express its approval of
the German proposals in their present
form.
The draft was shown to Ambassador
Gerard with the idea of eliciting from
him an expression of opinion and he
promptly asked for instructions from
Washington as to whether the United
States could make concessions. Pres
ident Wilson has been advised of the
situation and the impression obtained
Tuesday night was that the American
government probably would instruct
its ambassador within day or two to
decline to express any view until after
the formal reply is delivered to him.
Just what Germany proposed has not
been officially divulged. Secretary
Lansing Tuesday took the position that
it would not be proper for him to dis
close Germany's position as informally
reported by Mr.. Girard without author
ization from the Berlin government.
