 Did They Leave Their Brains Behind
 Them?
 Someone has said that judging from the architecture of the period just after the Civil war, one would think the architects of the United States left their brains instead of thcir bodies on the battlefield. One might well think the same of the cabinet-makers.
 Nevertheless, there are some good pieces that are worth keeping for heirlooms. Our children may not think so much of them, even as our fathers did not think so much of the mahogany we prize, but our grandchildren will surely bless us.
 We all have ancestors, many of us are going to be ancestors. Practi- Cally all of us think more of the for mer fact than the latter probably be- cause no one cares much to think of the world going cheerfully on without him.
 What Kind of Ancestors Are We?
 But have we no obligations as an- ceSCOrS! We are graCeIul IO our aU' v cestors for the heirlooms and the traditions they have left us. Will those to whom we are to be ancestors have reason to be grateful to us?
 To pass from black walnut (which was only the hook on which l wanted to hang my reminder that we are as well as have ancestors-though it seems to have grown disproportion-, ately large for hoOk) to less world ly considerations:
 Consider whether we ought not to be more in the habit of seeking honor from our descendants than from our ancestors; thinking it better to be nobly remembered than nobly born.' -RusEin.

"CARMEN" BURLESOUE
 NEW CHAPLIN FILM

mat the management of Keeney's Is alive to the wants of the patrons of the theater is evidenced from the en- terprlse shown in contracting for the screen appearance here on May 15 16 and 17 of Charlie Chaplin in his lat est comedy, Carmen" as played in burlesque. The latest release of the famous star is offered to theaters at a, price almo exhorbitant owing to the new contract made with the funny &C., tor, which necessitates a tremendous advance in the rental charges, and in practically every city where "Carmen'' has been shown there has been a substantial jump in the admission price. Not so at Keeney's, however The management of this theater will show the big comedy without adding even nickel to the regular admis- sion charges. The popularity of the comedian would make an advance permissible without criticism from the public and crowded houses would be the rule anyway. Neverth eless the tickets will sell at the regular prices while the picture is on the program.
 The management has also contract ed for the @ew Hearst serial, "The Mysteries of Myra' which will be shown in 15 episodes. This film is said to be even bigger than "The Strange Case of Mary Page" and many of the larger picture houses throughout the country have arranged to show it to the'r patrons.
 Topping the photoplay program to- night will be Charles Kent and Murie] Ostriche in Kennedy Square" and Frank Daniels in MT. Jack, the Hash Singer"
 Saturday, the feature film will be- "Once a Thief played by Bryant Washburn, Nell Craig and other Es- sanay stars.

merous tale of how two lads who were as near to starving, in Chicago, as lads can be without turning up their toes in Potter's Field, met each other by the grotesque chance of trying to hold each other up on Clark street bridge. Each fourished a weapon in his desperation, but each was possessed of a sence of humor so that when the joint confessions were made that these were their first feeble attempts at crime, and that they were merely trying not to die of hunger, they fell to and made com- mon cause of getting, first, a square meal and second, a fortune. Getting @ meal was not so difficult, but the fortune came harder. They had a little luck at the beginning, but be- fore they had gone much farther, thep had were in every kind of trouble in the world, including being in love. Just as they would decide that they had touched rock bottom, and that disaster had shot her bolt, another layer would fall from under them and another mountain of tribulatiOn would follow in. Every wild scramble to emerge from the mess entangled them further. At last, when jail was just six jumrs ahead, a brilliant foo1ery saved them, and they lived happily ever after

[ minent in tthe excellent supportir.g g company are Jack Dean, Horace B. Carpenter and Camille AstOr.
 Although many photodramas have been written around plots dealing with the doings of royalty and myth;- cal kingdoms Bullets and Brown Eyes in which Bessie BarriScale is starred, is declared to have set new standard for this kind of pro- duction. Though this attraction is said to be replete with thrills and tra- gedy of battle, the author has laid stress on the fact that it is a romance. and in the prepearing of the script, did so with the idea of making the love story paramount. With Miss Barriscalo ever in mind, the author has written a sympathetic role in which she ap- pears as the heroine of many stirring adventures
 The comedy portion of the program will be ably handled by Fred Mace and the Keystone aggregation of fun makers in "The Village Vampire" an excruciatingly funny farce burlesquc on Kiplings 'The Vampire' The Burton Holmes Travels will take the audience through a delightful trip that should be immensely enjoyed

DlRlNM HOT WAITER IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMPLEXION Says we can't help but look better and fee! better
 after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fer mentations and poisonous toxins be- fore it is absorbed into the blood Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incOm- bustile material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alim entary organs a cer- tain amount of indigestible material which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow ot healthy bloom in your cheeks. to see your skin get clearer and clear er you are told to drink every morn ing upon arising, a glass Of hot Wa ter with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste mater ial and toxins from the stomach, liv- CT, kidneys, and bowels, this cleans ing sweetening and purifying the en- tire alim entary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid com plexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath. others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acids ston1- acn or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced re- suits in one or two weeks
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses. purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside Or gans. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more i'm DOrtant than outside cleanliness, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.

4'TALK OF NEW YORK"
 AT LYCEUM MONDAY

George M. Cohan's successful mus ica1- comedy, "The Talk of New York, !" will be presented next week at the Lyceum by the Alfred Cross players. This important announcement was made last night by Manager Lynch and MT. Cross who have decided to give the people of New Britain one of the most pretentious productions ever put on in this city. The comedy is the sequel to the famous Forty five Minutes From Broadway" which first made George M. Conan a decided fixture as a writer of musical con- edies. The famous character Kid" Burns was first introduced in that play and because of his slang and quaint expressions became a favorite the. nation over. In "The Talk of New York;" Kid Burns is carried further along in his eventful life he is polished and presented in a differ ent atmosphere with f1ashy clothes but with the same characteristics that marked him in the New Rochelle com- edy. Alfred Cross will play Kid" Burns. Those who have seen Mr. Cross before in musical comedy know the ability of this versatile actor. There are few men on the stage today who possess so many accomplishm ents as Alfred Cross and there seems to be no limit to what he can do. He is clever pianist, sings we'll, and acts superbly. Associated with him in next weeks production will be many people of stage land who are we'll known in this city, who have appeared here before.
 Perhaps one of the best musical comedy stars who ever played before a New Britain audience is young Philip Sheffield. It Is not generally known that for twelve years of his theatrical career MT. Sheffield devoted all of his efforts to this form of en- tertainment He has figured in some of the biggestsmusicaI comedy success es that were ever put on Broadway. His singing voice suffered a setback last year and for the much needed rest he joined forces with those who present the drama. This is his first year in stock. Now that the Alfred Cross players have decided to delve into the land of music MT. Sheffield should find a greater outlet for his abilities. He will add materially to the success of the production by his singing and dancing. And there are plenty of songs in this production to give each and every member of the company something to do. Further more, all the songs possess that lilt- ing melody that is so associated with George M. Cohan. Tn order that everyone may have an opportunity to get seats at next weeks play and be- cause of the great number of reser- vations that are expected to be made, Manager Lynch announces that seats will go on sale Monday night for the entire week.

 "33 Washington Square,
 May Irwin will bring her comedy, "33 Washington Square, to the Par- sons Theater the first half of next week, with a Wednesday matinee. It is unquestionably the best play Miss Irwin has ever had. It was drama tized from the novel by Leroy Scott and the stage direction was under the able care of William Collier, who was an associate of Miss Irwin with the late Augustin Daly.
 Miss Irwin has decided to please her friends by yielding to the insisternt demand that she sing again. She has not done so for several seasons, but In "33 Washington Square she will be heard in several new numbers of Erwinesque character. They are: "Araby'', Irwin Berlin's latest; "Pic- ture Me Down Home in Tennessee i've Been Floating Down the Old Green River and My Old Kentucky Home. Miss Irwin will bring with her the entire New York production and cast.

A friend of mine is very proud of the half dozen pieces of mahogany which have come down to her from her grandfather and great-grandfath- CT.
 The other day when I was calling cused herself to answer. When shH came back to me she explained that she had been making arrangements to sell some furniture, among other things, a black walnut bed9tead that had belonged to her parents.
 Don't you think your grandchil- dren will be sorry some day that you sold that?" I asked. Just as you can never get over the fact that your grandmother traded that pineapple bedstead for some new kitchen Ware?"
 But, this is that hideous black walnut, she said.
 She Probably Called Her Mothers
 Furniture Hideous
 "Yes," said I, and probably your grandmother called the pineapple bedstead that hideous old mahogany thing.''
 The black walnut bed of which she spoke is a plain, massive thing with really good lines I don't doubt that there will come a day when it will be valuable.
 Black walnut at the present time is almost impossible to get. The black walnut as a tree is practically extinct. It will be many years be- fore we get another growth of it.
 Consequently the antique dealer is beginning to collect black walnut furniture. This docs not mean that all black walnut furniture is, or ever will be, valuable. Too much of it
