IHEDA BARA IN
 TIER DOUBLE LIFE

The attraction for tomorrow and Thursday at the Fox theater will be
 Her Double Life," a masterfilm pro- auction from the MT. William Fox stu d1os, featuring the famous woman of the screen, Theda Bara. This is the story Of a woman who deliberately takes the place of another, she be- l1eves dead, and is called to account after she has fallen in love with the man who has befriended her, which makes Theda Bara's new play one of exceptionally gripping heart-interest. Miss Bara plays the part of Mary Doone, who begins life at a disadvan- tage, as a child of the slums. She works her way to a high position in London sOciety-then comes the dis covery, and all is over. The support ing cast in this feature is of all star calibre, and includes the greatest of all screen williams, Stuart Holmes. The other attractions for these two days include the ninth chapter of Glorias Romance, featuring Billie Burke, the Pathe Weekly, See America First" travel films and the George Ovey comedy entitled "The Rookie" Quite a few people were disappointed at not being able to see "Under Cover," at FOX's yesterday, due to a mix-up by the express office. Manager Melarkey had another film shipped out of Bos- ton yesterday afternoon and positively states that the feature is at his thea ter now and will be shown both after noon anl evening. He wishes to apOl- Ogize to those who were disappointed but there was absolutely no way of getting either copy of the film. The first copy was shipped out of Boston CNo4, ceived early yesterday morning. It was expected at any minute yesterday, but was not finally received until this morning.

"SOME BABY" AND

play that is called Some Baby Comes to the Lyceum next week. It's just the kind of farcical thing To make you laugh and shriek. There's a, funny old professor, A thinking man and student, Tho some O the things you sec him q o Will strike you as imprudent.
 For, having discovered a medicine - This busy old delving sage, That will bring to all the bloom of
 youth
 And annihilate old age. He tries it out on all around, Even his own good daughter, Even then he finds his offspring Is not what he had thought her. His remedy upsets everything, It muddles his sister and friend, Creates many sad complications That seem without an end. And then you laugh and laugh again Forgetting your every care, As you see the many tangles That surround him everywhere. Tor, if ever a play was written With the single object of fun, By all means go to see this farce for truly, it is the one. It's bright and clean and snappy There's never a moment drags, After the Elixir's discovered And about it the Professor brags There's a lot of jolly actors To bring out each atom of mirth, And to their credit, be it said They act for all they are worth.

CHAPLIN AMONG US
 AGAIN FOR A WEEK

Charlie Chaplin made another pro- nounced hit with Keeney patrons last evening when he shuffled around the screen in his latest comedy success, "The Count" The picture is to be a feature of the program during the en- tire week and it is expected that it will prove an excellent drawing card It will be shown every afternoon and evening. Chaplin's popularity is any thing but on the decrease, judging from the enthusiasm shown last eve- ming.
 Because of the appearance of the eccentric little comedian, the balance of the bill, however, has not been neglected. There are some high class photop1ays for every day during the week. Tonight Garter DeEaven will be seen in From the Rogue's Gal lery." Another contribution to to- nights program will be a comedy, "The Right Car But the Wrong Berth" By Conscience's Eye," with Majorie Ellison, Is also billed for this evening.
 Wednesday Dorothy Davenport will be seen in "Black Friday and there will be another episode in the "Bea- tr1ce Fairfax" series. Mary Fuller takes the lead on Thursday in a Gold Seal feature, Loves Masquerade" while on Friday the feature will be l Myrtle Gonzales in Miss Blossom" Harry Myers in "The Latest in Vam- p1res'' Is announced for Saturday. The Devils Review, a fascinating musical comedy playlet in which number of pretty girls figure, tops the vaudeville program. It is a most en- tertaining act.

 And She Only Meant To Be Helpful.
 Of course, she meant to be very helpful, and equally, of course, she succeeded in setting her mother in- law on edge. The latter couldn't con- ceal her feelings and the daughter in-law felt hurt and resentful that her well-meant helpfulness should not be better received.
 If this woman had had half as much capableness and twice as much tact she and everyone about her would have been happier.
 Rightness, no matter how we'll founded, if not held in check by tact, becomes positiveness and arouses an- tagonism.
 It Doesn't Cost Anything to Say 'I Think People who always say Such and such a thing is so," and never "I thing such and such a thing is so" are never popular.
 Suppose you do know a thing, does it do any harm to soften your state ment by an 'I think'? When people find out how wise you are they will only honor you the more for not being self-assertive. How many people would win love instead of antagonism if they could only learn to use tact and to say 'T think" now and then

10TH CENTURY MAIDS
 AT GRAND THIS WEEK

The 2Oth Century Maids company opened weeks engagement at the Grand theater, Hartford, last evening, and Is bound to prove one of the most popular troupes that has ap- peared at the playhouse this season, if the applause that followed the work of the company last evening is accepted as a criterion. Heading the company is James Barton, known by the stage nom-de-guerre as Box Car Bennle," & role which fits him like a glove and affording him plenty of opportunities to display that orig inal brand of mirth provoking comedy which has made him famous in sea- sons gone by. Assisting the head liner are James Howell and Arthur Young @ corking good pair of rum ming mates for "Bennie."
 The production of the company is in two acts entitled "The Aviator" There are many fine points about the show, but one that strikes the fancy of the audience is the work of Jules La Barbe and Airline Donaire in pantomine entitled, La Valse Rouge"
 The feminine lead role is carried by Miss Drena Mack who does her work with a finish Few opportunities for acting are afforded Miss Mack, but the program gives her plenty of chance to display her pleasing voice in rendering several song hits. The characteristic effort to reach difficult notes noticeable with so many burl- esque queens is entirely absent in the work of Miss Mack
 There Is nothing elaborate about the scenery of the show, but what Is minus in this. respect is made up in the brand of entertainment dispensed. The members of the chorus measure up to those of other companies, and when the occasion requires for pretty costumes the company displays them. The show is one that will no doubt please all.
