situation is apt to be slow, by rea-
sen of the fact that one big rotary

another on the Rio Grande Southern

NEW CHAPLIN
 RELEASE FOR HERE

The Essanay companys first Chap lin release, a burlesque on "Carmen" since the famous comedian affixed his signature to the remarkable contract under which he is now appearing be- fore the camera, will be shown at keeneyS theater the first three days of next week. By paying a fancy price the management has secured this film for New Britain admirers of the funny little fellow and it will be shown every afternoon and evening during the three days without a cent advance in the regular admission price. Else where the price of tickets was doubled during the period the picture was on the program. The advance was neces- sitated by the high cost of the Chaplin releases. Nevertheless the Keeney management has decided to stand a loss that the patrons of the popular playhouse might be among the first to see Chaplin under an ESsanay ban. her. The burlesque on Carmen re. quireS four reels for production. It is said to be tho funniest thing the comedian has presented and local the- ater-goers are anticipating q great deal of amusement when it is thrown on the Keeney screen.
 Tonight there will be three big dra- matic features, including a Vitagraph blue ribboner, and two comedies, in one of which Frank Daniels, the cele- brated musical comedy star, will be seen.
 The leading film is Joseph kilgour in the great society drama, ''The Writing on the Wall" In this pro- duction MT. Kilgour is supported by a coteric of Vitagraph plays of recog- nized ability. The Lubin drama, Play thing of the Gods', also promises to be interesting. Then there will be the three-part comedy, The Great Smash and the Daniels film, 'Mr. Jack, Doctor By Proxy
 This weeks vaudeville is up to the Keeney standard of general excel fence and it has been highly praised during the week.

MANY NOVELTIES AT
 LYCEUM NEXT WEEK

Frank Wright, the son-in-Iaw of Mrs. Adelaide Hibbard the popular actress of the Alfred Cross players, who left the company for a sOjourn in Syracuse will be one of the additions to the cast at the Lyceum next week in The Little Millionaire'' the show that promises to surpass all the previous efforts of the company this season.
 Alfred Cross, Miss Julie Herne. Miss Florence Hart, Philip Sheffield. Miss Winifred Wellington, and Thomas Senna will have the principal parts. with Philip Sheffield carrying the title role. For this once MT. Cross will be seen in a character that does not per- init of the full gamut of his ability. but which will serve as a means to give him much needed rest. After a strenuous season, memOrIzlng many leading parts, he is in need of a let-up
 At that his work next week will be no
 easy matter, as he must sing few
 songs and appear throughout the play.
 Philip Sheffield, ever since it became
 known that he can Out-rlVal Charlie
 Chaplin, the quaint ''mOvie' comedian has been beseiged with letters and tel ephOne messages requesting him tC present this character Monday night if only for few moments. If the re. quests keep coming in MT. Sheffield
 may have to put on specially. As il is, he has been requested to sing songs aside from the regular numbers in the play. as he has done throughout this week in The Talk of New York;. Ii is probable that one of these songs will be an operatic hit from one o1 the present musical comedy successes ] on Broadway.
