THE RED WIDOW"
 BEST SHOW YET"

An extra large cast has been en- gagged by Director Adrian Perrin of the Russwin Lyceum Musical Stock company for next week when "The Red Widow'' will be shown for the first time in New Britain In many respects the play should be unusually good. Walter Wills, leading comedian With the Lyceum company, has scored big successes with a road company in 'The Red Widow.' This is the show that first brought Raymond Hitch cock, the premier comedian, into prominence and when he left it for another comedy the rights were se- cured by MT. Wills, who took it on the road. Miss Georgia Campbell, George Bogues and Ralph Sipperly
 have also been with "The Red Wid- ow' and 1t was hardly necessary for them to rehearse their roles this week.
 The lines were written by Charming Pollock and Rennold Wolfe and the music by Charles Gebest. It is In three acts with the scenes laid in
 London and Petrograd. "The. Red
 Nidow' is associated with a band of Nihilists and the complications into which MT. Butts, an American corset salesman, succeeds in entangling himself through her scheming, forms the basis for the story. The manage | ment has gone to extra expense for | costumes and will present a chorus of seventeen members. An idea of the size of the cast can be obtained from the fact that there are eighteen speaking parts. The musical numbers | total seventeen, the song hits being ! 1T Love Love- and "I Shall Never Look at a Pretty Girl Again.
 Arthur Downing of New York has l been secured by Mr. Perrin as musi- cal director for the company to re- 1 place the present incum bent
 | Alma Where Do You Live ?" will be presented by the company for the ] last time at S:15 o'clock tonight.

The Question of Rights

All troubles between people come from one person overriding the rights of another." was the creed which Walt and Janet adopted as their | guide of what to avoid. Both or them were passionately jealous of their 1 freedom and fundamental rights as l individuals: and each Of them scrupu- l lously recognized the others rights to l decide on matters ot Lurely personal l concern.
 1 By calling Dr. Marsh for Janet in | the face of her determination not 1 to see a doctor. Walt knew that he 1 had violated the first and most inn portant article of agreement between Janet and himself. She was so furi - ous at this that when pr. Marsh had left she turned on Walt.
 What right had you to force me to see @ doctor. she cried, her cheeks flaming "It is my place. and mine alone, to say whether I shall do this or that about my health!"
 "As a matter of pure theory, your health Is largely m,ne. too," Walt said quietly. If you were suffering from a contagious illness your rights would not include exposing me to the disease. If you break down, I shall
 
 being disturbed. so I take this pre- caution of calling the doctor in time. Are you convinced from what he says that you must take a rest from your work? ?''
 Dr. Marsh had put the case much more emphatically than Walt was doing.
 Mrs. Stedman, it has taken you months to break down your nerves as yo uhave,' he said after thorough examination of Janet. to which she submitted only because she detested making a scene in his presence. 'If you don't stop at once-tomorrow, and go away for a rest, it will take you a year to undo the damage you have done your nerve tissue"
 The knowledge that Walt had been right all along and she wrong added to the disturbance she felt at the reali- zation of the truth of her condition and made her all the more savage in

 Her face became grave. "Goodness yes!" she said, almost the worst we
 ever had" What on earth do you people ever find to quarrel about?" asked Molly. He Couldn't Remember. "Well, let me see," said the Most Recently Welded Man.

This is never to happen again." she cried furiously. "I never allowed my own father to tyrannize over me he respected my rights as a free hu- man being too much to try it. l shall certainly not let you do it. II shall be glad to let you do the proper thing of your own accord in a situation such as this" Walt said quietly, 'provided you do the proper thing. Now the very next thing to do is to ring up David Temple and tell him that the doctor has ordered you to take rest at once-and that you're going, to do it."
 1T shall do no such thing!" Janet cried.
 Walt put his hat and coat on.
 "Where are you going?" she asked in alarm.
 ITO see David Temple" Walt said quietly. Tt might be a little more di- rect for you to tell him that you're going on little vacation. But since you don't intend to do it yourself, am 'aNiiis IL on 1nNSel1 tC dO so.
 Janet stared at him helplessly. So long as he treated her on terms of equality she felt more than able to cope with him in this deadlock But this calm seizure by him of the whole situation, his quiet disregard of her rights his elemental man attitude toward her suddenly cr,lmplcd her re- slstance. In her nervous condition she began to cry.
 She almost won by the very manner of her surrender. Walt was so moved by the sight of his plucky mate In tears that he nearly gave in. But an instinctive wisdom whispered to him to give her all the comfort he could, but no yielding. Suddenly, without so much as a sniff of warning. she cuddled up to him and. kissing him, said through her tears:
 I'm so glad I have you to do things for me. dear. What am I to do next?"

 They Were Both Sure a Principle Was
 Involved "Yes," said the Most Recently Welded Man, 1T have that same feel ing myself"
 Of course, we all laughed and they, being young people rich in that blessed possession, a sense of humor- ous perspective, laughed too. To quarrel about a principle. and not to remember three months after ward what the principle was! Typi- cal, isn't it? They could rememb Der the fool 1 things they flung at each other after | they got started. Yes, because these l were the things that hurt The Unlxind Things You Drag In.

 Yes, that's just like you, always thinking of yourself first" said she
 Maybe I am," says he, "but I'd like to know who you were thinking of l when" etc.
 There are the things that leave the wounds.
 If two young people would make ur their minds not to drag miserable miscellanies of this sort into their arguments, how much more often ar guments would remain arguments and not degenerate into quarrels.
