Throughout, the piece is abundant with the atm mOsphere of the campus. Miss Barriscale is seen in the title role, and it is declared to be one of the most ingratiating characterize tions she has ever attributed to the screen. Charlie Ray is cast in the part of John Sophomore" Adams the serious minded young student who falls in love with "Jane". The Para mount offering to this program will be the Pallas photoplay "The In- trigue" featuring beautiful Lenore Ulrich. sThis is an enlightening and interesting screen story of the schem- ing, spying and counter-spying that Is going on among the warning na- tions of Europe. That the charac- ters might be correctly portrayed players of established ability, who were natives of the states now at war, were selected. Interwoven with this world wide scheming and plot ting is shown the strange and facin- ating love story of a beautiful Count ess and a young American. The bal ance of this excellent entertainment will offer the Keystone players in two thousand feet of laughs, entitled Bombs and featuring Charles Mur- ray and the Paramount Burton Holmes TraVelogue

CHAPLIN FILM IS
 KEENEY''S BEST BET

Keeney patrons continue to get considera ble amusement from the antics of Charlie Chaplin in his latest comedy success, "Behind the Screen, '' the photoplay headliner at the thea ter this week. The piece is proba bly, the funniest com bination of Chaplin oddities made since the comedian be- came a Mutual star and the two long reels are nothing more than 2 series of laughs with but little in ternission between any of them. It shows that Chaplin has lost none of bis skill as a gloom chaser and dur ing the time he piroutes around the screen there is not a dull moment for the audience.
 There are a lot of other good things at Kecneys this week and large crowds gre attracted to the theater daily b% them. Besides the Chaplin linn there are some good Universal screen offerings which will be aug mented tonight and tomorrow by the V1taGr2Gh mile-a- minute serial, "The ScaTAet Runner.' in which Earle Williams is playing so successfully.

LYCEUM SINGERS
 WINNING THEIR WAY

With the Lyceum Musical Stock
 company off to flying start, as has ! been shown during the week by the enthusiasm and generous applause of
 the audiences, it is expected that ever greater success awaits the manage ment next week. New Britain has al- ways been skeptical regarding it's amusements and the audiences this week have not been large, on the whole. But what they have lacked in size has been offset by the effect the company has produced. With this weeks audiences heralding the com pany as the ''best ever' the future should be assured. *s&. *#
 The Time, the Place and the Girl' will be produced tomorrow afternoon and evening for the last time and those who wish to hear and see this excellent musical comedy should se- cure their tickets early. Miss Georgia Campbell, Miss Leone Courtney George Bogues, William Meehan, Wal ter Wills and Ralph Sipperly, arc leaders of high caliber as their work during the week has shown, while tho other members of the company have given all the cooperation necessary to furnish an entertainment of merit The musical numbers of "The Time, the Place and the Girl'' are unsur-
 passed in the annals of musical com- edy's history for their sweetness Well 1 rendered by the members of the Ly- 1 ceum company, they have lost none of their charm.
 "Alma, Where Do You Liver" an other musical comedy teeming with fun, will be presented next week.

However for Am erican consumption it has all been rewritten by George V. Hobart and in the adaptation of the original book and in the composition of the seventeen lyrics, Mr. Hobart has eliminated all of the objectionable features of the play. retaining only enough of the story to build the series of farcical complications which gave the piece it's vogue for record runs in New York.

 Alma is a fascinating French mil-I liner, who is induced to lure an un- sophisticated boy to propose to her in order to make him lose fortune of four million francs that has been left to him with the provision that he does not make love to or propose to a woman before certain date, and as a violation of the. wishes of the deceased gives the fortune to others, they in turn, become vastly interest ed in seeing the young man lose his inheritance. However, the best laid plans miscarry when Alma falls Tn love with Pierre saves his fortune and finally married him. after the time limit in the will has expired. It is a pretty and romantic story, complf- cated with most amusing situations, bright dialogue and some of the most catchy music that has been heard in many years.
