CRANE A BIG HIT
 IN POLL PROGRAM

James Crane, the leading man of the Poli Players, Hartford. is adding greatly to his already marked local popularity this week by reason of his fine presentation of the title role in "In Walked Jimmy" the comedy in which the Players are appearing this week. The story of the play centers about Jimmy (Mr. Crane) and his ability to make people laugh when they had cried before. Aided by an almost unlimited gift of pure Ameri- can bluffs he makes a business that is financially dead, a live, thriving enterprise. Jimmy enters the town on the same day that a train is held up and robbed. He refuses informa- ton about himself. He enters the Cinderella Shoe company's factory Just about as the proprietor, an elderly man, is to shoot himself be- cause he is a business failure. Jimmy induces him to wait until the morrow before carrying out his act and at once proceeds to bring sun light into the office. A young stenO- grapher falls in love with Jimmy and Ee with her. A nephew of the pro- prietor loves the girl and is naturally disappointed when Jimmy becomes the faVor1te. He endeavors to fasten the train robbery upon Jimmy and the latter, to save the stenographer's brother, consents to be arrested and the faith of the townspeople in him is shaken, but it all ends satisfactorily. Enid May Jackson as the steno- grapher, also wins the affection of her audience by her sympathetic work and the other favorites are seen in congenial roles.
 Tn walked Jimmy will be seen each afternoon and evening through cut the week.

REVELATIONSOF WIFE

there would be no time after we had eaten. l dreaded hurrying away as ii was.
 By the time we had gathered at the luncheon table, I was so nervous I could hardly sit still. Mrs. Graham, I shall have to put you to bed instead of allowing you to go to the club if you do not eat something. Whats the use of having trained nurse in the house if she cannot exercise little authority?" Miss Sonnot smiled at me across the luncheon table. But although I smiled bravely back at her, I could not swallow anything, absurd as it seemed.
 Dicky laughed dsagrceably. Its enough to make anybody lose appe- tlte, to go out washing" r. Go out Washing?' queried his mother sharply. What do you n-can?'
 A little shiver of disgust ran over me. I knew the speech on Dicky's lips. He had said ;t before Xvi dently he quite fancied it as a scath- ing witticism.
 "Launder clothes, or launder brains, what's the difference? Both Madge ana the laun0reSS are working be- cause they think they have to have more money than their husbands can make for them"
 l bit my lips to keep back the bitter retort I felt trembling on them Miss Sonnot's eyes were fixed on her plate, but I knew her downcast face held the sympathy for me she could not openly express.
 Then from the last lips in the world from whom l expected sympathy came a triumphant call of defiant en- cOuragement.
 Richard, I am ashamed of you" My mother-in-law's voice held all the whitening contempt from which I had frequently shrunk. Margaret is perfectly justified in doing this work You ought to be proud she is able to dc it, instead of ridiculing her"

Miss Julie Herne, the popular leading lady of the Alfred Cross Players, who has scored so many tri- umphs in straight character work dur ing the season that is nov drawing to close, surprises her many friends by the manner in which she renders a song, in company With Mir. Sheffield. The song is entitled, Teach Me How to Love-" The many people who have been patrons of the Lyceum for these many months were amazed at the richness of Miss Herne's voicc. IL had not been generally known that she could sing so well. There are many other surprises in the show at the Ly- ceum, a show that far excels any other ever put on by the Alfred Cross Players

Yes, he's good looking, but he's queer. Mabel says she doesn't think he's quite all there," a woman said to me the other day in reference to a young man who has recently come into the eighborhood.
 What makes you think that?'
 "Oh I don't know exactly. She says he's been at her house with his sister, and he acts funny, talks in fits and starts, and doesn't always answer when he is spoken to-"
 That conversation took place a few days ago. Today I discovered that the young man in question is not only "all there but is an unusually we'll educated and brilliant person. He is doubtless at least as much "there' as his critic. The trouble is that he is slightly deaf This makes him ner- vOus in his manner and easily ac- counts for his not always answering when spoken to.
 It seems to me that people are altogether too quick to decide that this person or that is not quite all there.
 Whenever I hear that sentence pronounced, I challenge it with What makes you think SOP"
 The answers I get are interesting. Sometimes I get no concrete evidence at all She says queer things" is my only satisfacti
 Again I am told, i've seen him sit in the front window with his hands in his lap doing absolutely nothing for an hour or more" People do sit and think sometimes. Are thoughts

"He's Queer"

the power that changes and molds the world-nothing?
 If a person outrages conventions he is always in danger of being called "queer". And the step from that to "He isn't all there" is very short.
 Not to be wholly governed by con- ventions may be the sign of a brain above instead of below the average. Some conventions are based on right, others on expediency, others on habit, many are utterly foolish and futile. Such man might call his censors mot all there" with quite as much reason as they have to apply that stricture to him. He is different from them-well, so are they different from him.
 Conventionality someone has said, is that which decrees a man shall not wear a rose behind his ear man might wear a rose behind his ear and be perfectly sane, but his chances of being thought so would be small.
 To the attention of the persons who are inclined to call everyone who varies from their pattern, insane, wish to call the definition of the the word:
 Such a mental condition as, either from the existence of delusion or from incapacity to distinguish be- tween right and wrong with regard to any matter under action, does away with individual sponsibility."
 Suppose you consider whether you could prove that of a man before you start a rumor so seriously affecting his standing in the community.
