THE LADY IN 49,
NEXT AT LYCEUM

'The Lady in 10" is the offering
selected by Director Perrin for the
Lyceum Musical Stock company next
week. Mr.. Perrin believes he has the
funniest musical comedy released for
stock in this vehicle and is certain
! he will need the "standing room only
! sign.
The plot is woven around Rev. J.
Smith and John Smith. who is not so
reverend. In fact, John Is somewhat
| of a sport and believes in the old
adage that life is short and therefore
gaiety should be the particular quest
Of every individual. Rev. MI Smith
engages a suite of rooms In an apart
ment house, tells his wife where they
are located and informs her he will
join her later. By a queer coinci-
dence John Smith and his wife oc-
cupy a suite in the same building.
The minister's wife gets into John
Smiths apartment and then the
| trouble begins. John Smiths wife
has gone to the country for two
weeks and John is out seeing that
the lights along Broadway lose none
of their lustre. A young woman falls
to the pavement and John takes her
home in a taxi cab. He returns to
good morning to the sky line and finds
the wife of Rev. Smith there. In
few minutes the young women John
assisted home arrived and presents
him with his wallet which had
slipped from his pocket. Then Mrs.
John Smith comes home from the
agricultural regions and the plot
thickens when she finds two women
n 1otn
diploma from a correspondence school
goes detecting and detects that the
young women is head of band of
crooks John Smiths old college
chum drops In for a visit, recognizes
the female crook and warns her away
from his old friend under penalty of
being exposed. The Hawkshaw i'm

as being in league with the crooks
Just as If there were not trouble
enough, In comes John Smiths uncle,
who had promised to leave his
nephew a million if said nephew
would not allow his feet to- stray from
the paths Of righteousness and lone
someness. Then the real Mrs. Smith
and the Rev. Mr.. Smith appear on
the scene.
The plot is not Strengthened out

presented this evening, tomorrow

the last time.
Director Perrin announces that the
company will con clude it's visit to New
Britain after next week unless the
patronage increases. Thus far the
receipts have not been up to what
was anticipated and it will be neces-
sary for the company to bid adieu to
the Hardware City unless more inter
est is shown by the public.

AS long as Janet had her interest

the tenement commissioner, she could
refuse Roy Nicolls munif1cent offer to
become directress of his magazine,
with some show Of reason. Although
she told herself that Walt had moth

offer her, she knew that Walt would
feel that he was battling for her
against great odds-against Roy Nj
coll and all he could offer. But she
did not want her husband distracted
from his work by any such thought.
Her first; and last concern was that
Walt should have every chance to de-

had refused Roy Nicolrs offer and
tried to forget it.
But now that her work with David
Temple had come to an end, the sit

able dilemma, pressing for solution.
Walt at once announced that he had
applied for his old position with the
advertising agency.
You take it easy for while and
rest up, now that you've got the
chance, he said. I'm going to be
moneymaker for both of us. Old man
Haines will take me back with a
shout of joy and a raise. He told me
so.' .:

What Can Mrs. Allis' Scheme
Really Be?


Really Be?
My brain, worked swiftly when
Mrs. Allis asked me to come in and
drink a cup Of tea with her after her
return to the Cosgrove farmhouse
from New York. That there was
something ore to her invitation than
what appeared upon the surface I
was sure.
I knew that she disliked me. Only
that morning I had overheard her say
that she had a score to settle with
me, and the aversion T felt toward her
was intensified by the knowledge I
possess unknown to
her-of her scheme to purloin the
valuable paintings in the Cosgrove
parlor.
She was not asking me to drink tea
with her from any desire for my

motive might be I felt I ought to try
to discover it. I felt foolishly elated

"Good!' Mrs Allis returned, smil-

room opposite mine, leaving her door
ajar. I closed mine, and going swiftly
into Dicky's room, told him Of Mrs.
Allis' invitation. ~ etI

his lips with the palm Of my hand.

at the ceiling for a long minute. 1t

Phillips Brooks was usually the
