SEASON CLOSES AT
 LYCEUM TONIGHT

There must be an end to all things, atrical season at the Lyceum theater where the Alfred Cross players have held forth for more than twenty four weeks. playing an extensive repertoire ranging from series drama to light and airy musical comedy. The play that has graced the boards at the old
 is aimed to stay the tears Of parting win the smiles of good cheer. His Dream Girl'' is a connection of mirth and melody, of sunshine and laugh ter of wit and humOr.
 Alfred Cross and the members of his company have injected into this comedy many local hits, recalling many of the favorite spots in and around New Britain. This is ore of the reasons the play is "goine big"
 has done such great business dur ing the past week. There are many
 who would return to see it a second time were it to be put on next week. But, alas, the end of the season is here. and the players must soon be on the1r way tO pastures new.
 Philip Sheffield has the song hit Of
 the show, a funny, philosophical, fan
 tasy, entitled, Some Little Bug Will
 Get You," and each and every per- formance he has been compelled to render at least five various versions of this strain. The words are inn mense. There are other songs in the show, of course, but the others are far different from the one MT. Sheffield uses as a medium of en- tertainment. There is a pretty little ballad by Frank Wright, a dainty number by Miss Wellington and MT. Wright, and the most appropriate of

furnishes the basis of the story or the play. Although "The Story of the Rosary was written before any one ever dreamed that the European war would occur, one critic has said that it might have been written yesterday because it faithfully pictures scenes that although originally were the dreamings of the author, are today actualities in many European coun- tries.
 The story is one that holds the au- dience almost breathless for the sit nations come in rapid succession and love proves stronger than treachery in the finale. The Poli Players are we'll equipped to present this remark able play Because an unusually large cast is necessary to present The Story of the Rosary" the man agement announces the addition of two well known players, John Dilson and Jerry Broderick, former mem- bers of the POli company at New Ha- ven. Seats for the week are on sale at the box office. There will be two performances daily.

ADVANCE GUARD OF
 CIRCUS HERE TODAY

Advertising car No. l of Cook & Wilson's greatest wild animal circus is in the city today and small army of bilIposters and other advertising men are busy covering walls and win dows with gaily colored pictorial pa per, and otherwise spreading the glad tidings that this notably big show is to exhibit in New Britain, June l.
 Although the Cook & Wilson show is one of the newest among the pig American circuses, it has already ere ated widespread interest and It's repu- 'auon as the largest and most com plete exhibition of it's kind in the ohl'ea States is growing by leaps and pouhuS' Primarily the Cook & Will son snow IS an exhibition of remark ably trained forest-bred wild beasts,

and in it's particular field is said to be without a rival. In addition to the trained animal displays however, there is offered what is declared by compe- tent critics to be one Of the high est class and most novel arenic exhibi- tlons ever given by an American cir- GUS. The combination of these two distinctive forms of entertainment en- sure, it is announced a performance that is without dull moment from beginning to end
 Tn the Cook & Wilson show especial stress Is laid upon the fact that, with out exception, the caged animals util- lZed m the performance are forest ooil ana pred. In the trained animal exhibitions hitherto seen in the united States the displays have almost universally been given with animals porn in captivity and lacking the fire and ferocity natural to the real jungle beasts. This has made the perform ances tame and uninteresting and cre- ated a sense of disappointment among the spectators. In the Cook & Will son exhibitions, it is announced, the contrary IS the fact. Although the audlehce IS absolutely protected owing to the structural strength of the Sioe'' 7'oNi e"Aela Tn which the wild animal displays are given. the per romance IS a succession of thrills. and the crowds are alternately astonished
 by the trained cleverness of the faro-

What chameleons we all are How we do reflect our surroundings in our manner and.attitude towards life! In different surroundings we act differ ently, talk differently and even think in a different key,-in short, become different people.

PROHIBITION lP[KS
new TRADE AREAS
Dominion Distillers May Turn Atten-
ton to Fuel Alcohol; Prospective
Market for Drinks.

Washington, July AIN a report
from Consul-Generai Frederick Nj.
Ryder of Winnipeg, Canada, that Of
ficer says:
In view of the fact that the West
ern provinces have adopted prohibi-
ton, the question naturally arises rs
to what will become of some of the
extensive breweries and distilling
plants in Canada. A former princi-
pal of Regina College suggests that
these plants be equipped for the man
ufacture of commercial alcohol. The
project is put forward by one who is
by profession an analytical chemist,
and has given much thought to the
possible uses to which these plants
might be put after prohibition be-
comes effective. He has also suggest
ed vinegar production, picking, cam
ming and cold storage.
in discussing alcohol as a fuel, he
states that the worlds supply of
gasoline is limited and unrenewable,
and, therefore, with the increased use
|of the automobile and other forms OF
the gasoline engine, the price must
rise. A British chemists opinion that
posterity will have to turn to alcohol
as fuel Is quoted"
In another report, Consul Felix S.
~ JohhSOH, Oh kingston. OntaflU,
Canada, makes this comment:
The going into effect of Ontario's
prohibition law on September 1S,
1915. should open up new field for
n alcoholic drinks and afford
American manufacturers an oppor-
tunity to bid for this trade. Accord
ing to the terms OF the new act all
bars and liquor stores shall close on
September Is. and remain closed un-
til the year OF 1919, when a vote will
decide whether these conditions shall
continue or not.
AT the present writing the only
American soft drink extensively ad-
vertised and sold Is grape juice. car
ried by all grocers. soda fountains
and druggists. There are many non
alcoholic beverages that could be In
troduced and sold at a profit. especi-
ally now with the large number OF
tourists visiting Kingston. the many
thousands of soldiers encamped on
the outskirts OF the city. and the ar
rira! of the owners OF the hundreds
OF summer cottages in the neighbor-
hood. AS the act will not become
operative for three months. this will
give Americans time to study the re-
quirements OF the people and to In
terest local dealers In these goods.
