PLAY AT LYCEUM
 DESERVES LONG RUN

It is to be deplored that the Alfred Cross Players are not going to remain in New Britain at least one week more, and that during that time they could present again the same play that is rounding out the season here, His Dream Girl" For, if such a thing took place, His Dream Girf' would be thoroughly polished in the way that it would be a real play of New Britain life. For this reason: Ever since the opening night of this week the members of the stock com pany at the Lyceum having been add ing here and there to the play until they have some touch of wit on almost every local institution. Now that the lines have been completely over hauled, and every performance Is a little different from the previous one, the play should be able to run all through next week. But it cannot. Tn players, for the most part are, signed up for other work.
 Alfred Cross is meeting with great success as a pianist. Few people in the city, outside his imm ediate circle of friends, knew that the popular leading man of the company was capable of playing some of the most
 
 masters. Yet, Alfred Cross is one of the most accomplished pianists in the land of stagedom. Philip Sheffield had previously given an example of what he could do with the ''iVOries, and this week he is left alone to himself in the matter of singing one of the funniest songs that has been heard here in some time. It is called Some Little Bug Will Get You If You Don't Watch Out,'' and is a sort of safety first plea to those who must eat In downtown restaurants and lunch rooms, far away from where they cook things Hike mother used to make'' Miss Julie Herne, too, is charming this week in a plaint, sim pie, sweet little ballad. "Auf Weiden- sehn,' a very appropriate song for a farewell of any kind. Miss Winifred Wellington and Frank Wright add to the musical end of the performance.

THE STORY OF THE
 ROSARY AT POLrS

The final performances of Back Home," the delightful southern play in the which the Hartford Poli Play CTS are scoring a decided hit this week, will be presented at Polls the- ater today and tomorrow, With mat inees both days. This remarkable play is based on Irwin Cobb's intensely hu- man southern stories of Judge Priest which have been dramatized by Bay ard Neiller, the author of within the Law and other equally successful plays The famous jury scene is per haps one of the most notable of it's kind that has been presented on the Poli stage and it develops some situ- ations that are absolutely unique dra- matically. The PoE favorites have unusually appropriate roles.
 Next weeks attraction is ''The Story of the Rosary" a massive melodra- matic production that has no con- nection with any other play nor with The motion picture of somewhat slm- liar name. The big dramatic pro- duction teens with real life, presents nhases of human existence that are seldom presented on the stage ana withal treats with supJect that IS now uppermost in the mind Of all people of the world-war. No play ever written presents the terrors or battle and the heart-rendlng home scenes in connection with it. AL though Written before the European war, it's author, as oneNcrit1c has said, might have written it yesterday for he has presented facts that were un- dreamed of two years ago ana yet are realities today. The brotherhood or man and the demand for respect for women form it's basis and 1t develops a story of intense human interest. The play will be presented twice daily throughout the week. Seats are on sale at the box office.

PARSONS THEATER

Take a bevy of pretty girls, sea- son with soul-compelling waltzes, sprinkle in a dashing lieutenant, pretty dancing girl and a princess with whom the lieutenant is not in love, for seasoning add drinking gar den scene, stir well, set on the stage to cool-and there you have an Os- car Strauss opera. These are the principal ingredients to "A Waltz Dream" which is being sung in Par sons theater Hartford this week. Of course, there are other ingredients, such as the father of the princess who is a bit of a sport himself despite his unthatched head and several other characters whose aid is necessary to carrying the plot to "a happy ending.
 In the Opera Players, MT. Parsons has made very popular selection to entertain his patrons for the sum- mer. The cast is well balanced, the singing is very good and the stage settings are equally as acceptable.
 Florence Webber is clever, cap able songstress and her work in "A Waltz Dream leaves so room for crit icism. In addition to her clear, strong soprano, she is, possessed of a
 
 cates a niche in the hearts of the audience. James Hornberger has pleasing tenor voice and fits well in- to the cast as the lieutenant who falls in love with every pretty Vienesse girl he meets. AS the father, Roger Gray has an opportunity to do some excellent work and he lives up to his contract. Lillian CrOsman, the prin- cess is also heard to advantage. Os- borne Clemson is another whose work should not be passed over lightly while Francis Boyle makes the ceil- ing ring with his wonderful basso. Lillian Ludlow makes an adorable lit tie "Fif," whose pretty dancing is equalled only by her capacity for food
 There are a, number of hypnotizing song hits-Strauss waltzes-in the opera, the kind the audience hum as it is leaving the theater after a pleas ant evening.
 Next week the Opera Players will offer 'The Chocolate Soldier" which should make even a greater impress sion than "A Waltz Dream"

FREE OPERATIONS.
Encourage Enlistment in Uncle Sam's
 Sea Army.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 26.-To help along the cause of preparedness by increasing the number of enlistments in the army, navy and marine corps, surgeons at the Jefferson hospital, this city, have announced that they will remove, through minor operations, and without charge for their services, disqualifying defects in applicants that can be remedied by the use of the knife.
 Many men are rejected at the re- cruiting station who might be saved to the service through a simple surgical operation, the Jefferson doctors have found.
 Last week they removed enlarged tonsils from one and hammer toes from another rejected applicant of the United States marine corps, and both these men will be enlisted when the wounds heal.

The Cause-AII

A dentist friend of mine has recent ly become convinced that hidden ab- scesses at the roots of teeth are the source of most human ills
 He tells lurid tales of rheumatism. neuralgia, blindness and even insan- 1ty caused by the poison poured into the system from these hidden plague spots. If you mention any ailment from pain in your toe to a head ache he suggests that you have your teeth examined
 NOT IS this, as you might think, caused by a desire for business. That Is not possible, because he doe not possesses the apparatus fohr the x-ray examination.
 He Blames Bad Teeth For Every III.
 No, it is merely that he has become so impressed by the important part that teeth do play in the general health that he has lost his sense of perspective and proportion. He knows that almost any symptom could be caused by diseased teeth and he gets the idea that almost every symptom is so caused.
 It is interesting and rather anus ing to look back and see how often the cause Of all human ills has been discovered.
 Of course you remember when lack of fresh air was seized upon as the cauSe-all.
 And then, again, it was adenoids or oVergrOWn tOnSils that could be held accountable for any Sluggishness, physical or mental.
 The Oculist Says Eyc-Strain Causes
 BaCkachc
 Listen to the oculist and he will tell you that half the time indigestion or
New Britain herald., 1916-05-26

backache or general lassitude are nothing but symptoms of eye-strain.
 Again we are told that we will nev- CT need to worry about our health if we will only chew every mouthful of food forty or fifty times.
 Coffee was the cause of all ills, ac- cording to relative of mine She was addicted to health fads and every time we visited her insisted on impos- ing them upon us. After the anti coffee spasm passed, drinking water at meals became her bete-noir, and I can still remember the discomfort I suffered from being denied the two or three glasses to which I was accus- toned. Both Arc Wrong and Both Are Right.
 Whats. the answer to it all?
 They can't all be right; are they wrcng?
 No; they are all some right and some wrong.
 They each have a good idea but they lose their sense of perspective over it.
 Every extreme represents some bit of truth. The wise man extracta the bit of truth without going to the extreme.
 In other words, the wise way is not to be a faddist about anything. but to look after all the big essentials of health, to get as much fresh air as possible, to chew ones food properly. to drink enough water, at meals if one wishes, but not to wash down un- cheWed food with it, to keep ones in- testincs healthy, to get sleep enough. to look after teeth and eyes, to trace any warning symptom to it's source.
 And last but not least, not to think too much about the whole matter.

MINING NEWS
FROM YAvAPA|

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 9.-The
Home Run group of gold mines on
Groom Creek have been taken over R.
J. Palmer, Nevada operator, and
work of unwatering the shaft and
opening up the old property will be-
gin at once. The Home Run mine pro-
duced over $4,000 in gold alone during
six months in 1904 when it was owned
by Douglas, Lacey and company of
New York. The shaft on the property
is down 500 feet and about 1000 feet of
development work has been done.
Contract for the running of a 100
foot tunnel at the Sink to Rise mine
in Copper basin has been let to John
Anderson. Chalcopyrite ore has been
discovered at a depth Of 80 feet from
the surface, running from three to ten
per cent copper.
Sinking of the main shaft Of the Com
mercial mine from the 470 level to a
depth Of 600 feet is to begin at once.
Eighty tons Of ore are being shipped
daily to the Clarkdale smelter, and the
the ore reserves are said to be suffi-
cient to maintain this output for
to come.
