MUSICAL COMEDY
 ATLYCEUM THURSDAY

One of the brightest and snappiest musical comedies that will be seen here this year will be presented at the Lyceum next Thursday night when Coutts and Tennis present their universal success, When Dreams Come True"
 This fascinating musical comedy of romance and youth is staged in three acts with twenty-five tuneful song hits from the pen of Silvio Hein, who is responsible for many of Marie Cahill's greatest successes.
 The play tells of the adventures of a wealthy young New Workers spry young offspring, who becomes in volved with one of the dancers at a popular music hall in Paris. His aI- loWance being cut off by his angry parents on account of this escapade, , he is compelled to return home in i the steerage. In the first cabin there is young woman whom he falls in 1 love with at first sight, but, of course. i finds it impossible to meet her until 1 both arrive in New York. At this point smuggling plot makes it's ap- pearance, in which both the young man and his fair charmer become inn mediately involved, and from which many amusing complications ensue.
 The chorus, composed principally of pretty girls who can sing, dance and wear gowns fetchingly, is one of the features of the performance. Seat sale will open at CrowelTs tonight

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE

 Harry Underwood's quick, firm sten sounded on the stairs Tn another mo- ment he was in the room, followed closely by Betty
 Regardless of the staring servants, of prudence, of decorum, I sprang at him, clutched his coat with both hands and shook him, crying hoarse- ly:

 As they hurried out of the room, Harry Underwood took my hands down gently, and holding them in his own, with a chiValric reverence. ut tcrly foreign to the Harry Underwood l had known, said, quietly: "Of course you shall see him.

FRANCIS BUSHMAN IN
 BIG FILM ATTRACTION

Francis x. Bushman, who has per haps greater hold on the country's photoplay lovers than any other star of the film Armament, is scheduled to appear on the screen at Keeneys to- night in the Essanay drama, "A Brothers Loyalty" billed as the head line attraction. Bushman is the mat inee-idol type of player and countless film devotees fairly worship at his shrine. Pictures in which he plays the lead are eagerly sought by en- terprising managers who realize his drawing powers and the Bushman films are widely circulated as a con- sequence.
 "A Brothers Loyalty' is declared to be one of the best Essanay produc- tions which has been released in weeks. It has big dramatic possibil- ities and it affords good chances to other stars in the cast as well as MT. Bushman.
 Another attractive offering for to- night is the latest episode in the Who's Guilty series, played by Anna Nelson and Tom Moore. This serial is proving exceedingly popular.
 In addition to the special features there will be the usual Universal re- leases and a good vaudeville program.

FRIEND MARTHA" AT
 LYCEUM TOMORROW

A more than ordinary treat is prom ised New Britain people when "Friend Martha" comes to town. Who is Friend Martha? To be sure, she is the dainty little Quaker maiden who will be seen in the play of that name at the Lyceum theater on tomorrow evening. "Friend Martha" is the new play by Edward PepIe that is anxiously being awaited on Broadway and that will be seen tEere soon after it's opening here. For "Friend Mar t.ha" is the newest success by the au- thor of ''The Prince Chap" "'"The Lit tlest Rebel" "A Pair of Sixea," and many another play of American life that is equally as straightforward, wholesome and clean.
 Like all his other plays, Edward Peple made of "Friend Martha" a play based on a characteristic phase of American life, even if it is not as well known today as it was a hun dred years ago. Friend Martha is a little Quakeress with the soul of a bird that struggles to be free of it's gripping cage. She is forced by her hard, uncompromising father to mar ry lean elder in the Quaker church, who has been married twice or thrice before. But she summons all her courage to defy her stern parent and marry the choice of her heart.
 The little play is not all drab and gray as the Quaker's life, for it sparkles and bubbles throughout with delightful, wholesome humor. a rap bling comedy that delights and ap- peals to every lover of the clean and wholesome in the drama.
 The title role is to be played by the charming Miss Oza Waldrop, and the cast includes such well known favorites as Charles A. Stevenson, Ed ward Emery, Reginald Denny, Mabel Murt, Walter Walker, Ida Mule, Gladys Fairbanks, Jack Rafael, and Walter Howe

MILLION DOLLAR
 DOLLS" AT GRAND

Manager D. D. Scullen of the Grand
 theater, Hartford announces for this
 week the only appearance in this city
 for this season of the Theatrical Oper-
 ating companys big attraction, the
 "$1, 10000 Do1ls," who came this af-
 ternoon for a weeks stay. The per-
 formante savors largely of big Broadway musical show, having. all the elements of one, and presented by company of competent artists with that legitimate comedian, Lew Hilton, at the head. Surrounding him are Alice Lazar, the Winsome in genue; Slim KelIam, Q comedian of pron1incrce; Bob Ferns, another com edian of merit; Betty Powers, who can sing and dance and act vivacious- ly; Grace Seymour, soubrette; Arthur Lawson and others. A beauty show is provided in the chorus, composed of twenty-eight young girls who were selected not only for their beauty but for their abilities as singers and dancers as well.
 The management has provided many gorgeous costume changes, while the settings are the work of eminent ar lists. Notably beautiful is that of the second act, showing a reproduction of the gambling palace at Monte Carlo, said to be one of the most magnificent examples of the prodigality of bur lesque managers to spend money. It is in this scene that one of the most situations of the program is exploited. A group of fashionably dressed women play a game of poker, while the comedians do the rest It is provocative of much laughter.
 Tn the olio prominent feature is Savo, the juggler, who does some things quite out of the ordinary.

Why Do We Care?

 I have a neighbOr whose mother in-laW lives next door to her. She Disapproves Of. Lying Down In
 The Morning.
 "She watches everything I do," says my neighbOr. Som etimes work in my garden before I do my housewOrk and I know she thinks that's awful. She doesn't believe in spending so much time on flowers. And sometimes I lie in the hammock for a few minutes in the middle of the forenoon. And she thinks that's terribly lazy. It really makes me miserable to have her criticizing me"
 Now this woman hasn't a particle of affection for her mOther-in-laW (which I can well understand. B~t why then should she let her opinion of her make her life miserable?
 To be influenced to self -betterment by the opinion of others is a very wise thing.
 To let the opinions of others annoy and harass you when you know you are doing what is right and best is very foolish.
 Especially when you don't care a continental for those who hold the opinions.

 Why do we bother so about what people, for whom we don't care continental, think of us? Why do we accept their invitations lest they will think it strange if we don't?
 Why do we wear ourselves out in cleaning our houses lest they find something to criticize?
 Why do we worry lest they put misconstructions on some action?
 Why Give Them Power Over Our
 Happiness?
 What difference does it make if they do? We don't care about them, why should we hand them, on sil- yer platter as it were, this power over our actions and our happiness?
 Every time I find myself doing this I am exasperated.
 There is a woman who sometimes comes to see me whom I like but little And yet, just because l think she is a frst-class housekeeper I make more to-do in putting my house

EBRATION WAS A SUCCESS

The Tenth Anniversary celehra-
tiOn, given the 2Sth- -29th and 3Oth
Of September in cOmmemOratiOn Of
the decade just completed by Mo-
bridge was a fine wholesome affair.
The many forms Of amuseme ent
were more than appreciated by
the many visitors who were here
those three days. The barbecue;
the races: the picture shows; the
base ball games n d foot ball
games; the balloon ascension and
other folms Of amusement were
highly enjoyed.
There was only one event that
was marred by accident and that
was the destruction of the balloon
by fire on the last day of the cele-
bratiOn.
Mink De Ronda and his pretty
wife, took their severe loss like
good fellows. De Ronda, while
regretting the severe loss Of the
balloon, held no spleen against
those who were assisting in hold
ing the big bag down while being
filled for the flight.
The weather man was sure good
to Mobridge, during those three
days as the weather was ideal. 1t
couldn't Lave been better.

an honest judge must apply the
law as he thinks it is, not as he
thinks it ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to Eim
for political advice something
about the record Of Mr.. Hughes
as Governor. Read what the Leg
islative Labor News. the official
organ of the New York Fedora
tion of Labor, said editorally when
Mr. Hughes left the Governors
chair at Albany for his place on
the supreme court. Here it is:
Now that Gov. Hughes has re
tired from politics and ascended to
a place on the highest judicial
tribunal in the world, the fact can
be acknowledged without hurting
anybOdy's political .cOrns that he
was the greatest friend of labor
laws that ever occupied the Gov
ernOr's chair at Albany. During
the two terms he has signed fifty
six labor laws among them the best
ever enacted in this or any state.
He also urged the enactment
OF labor laws in his messages to
the Legislature, even going so far
as to place the demand for a labor
law in one of his messages to an
extra session Of the Legislature.
Only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted IN this state since its cree.
ton in l777-in 1873 years. One.
third of these. exceeding in quality
