LAST CHANCE TO SEE
 MELODRAMA TONIGHT

Tonight offers the last opportunity to see the one great melodrama of the season, 'Tess of the Storm Country'' which has held forth for the past week at the Lyceum theater Miss Julie Hcrne has scored her one biggest hit in this drama from the pen of Rupert Hughes who has written so many stage successes. Tess is a wonderful character creation in that she is so different from the common ordinary run of stage characters. Tess is a little mountain girl with lots of vim and dash and with no leaning at all toward the conventional things of life. In fact, Tess is out of the regu- lar order of things She does not care what people think or say about her. she does as she pleases, as her conscience dictates and even assumes the sins of others so that they might be free from gOssipy society.
 Alfred Cross as the youthful min ister in Tess of the storm COuntry' is at his best. There is one scene in which he particularly shines, the last act when he leads a full fledged con- gregation ina1the singing of an old fashioned hymn. It is worth going miles to see this one big hit in Tess  of the Storm Country" There are lot of local thespians scattered in this act to make up the congregation. J. Irving White is given a part that calls for the best in this actor who has ren- dered so many excellent impersona- tionS before New. Britain audiences. This week he is seen as the cruel hearted rich man, the landowner who wants to drive the poor fisher folk from his domain and deprive them Of their only method of securing a living.
 Next week the Alfred Cross players will put on the one big sensational comedy of the past decade, "Otficer 666." which ran for more than year on Broadway. The entire company will have a chance to display powers of versatility for 'Officer 6 66' calls for many things It is unique in that 1t is one of the few plays of the present era whose entire action takes place within six hours.

FRENCH FOLLY GIRLS IN HARTFORD, MONDAY

."Tho French Folly Girls" who will be at the Grand theater, Hartford, all next week form a spectacular musl- cal comedy organization rather than the old type of burlesque shows. It IS said that Jake GOldenberg, the pro- ducer. has expended over $1o, 1000 to produce the two-act musical comedy, Madame Who Are YOu?" Both in electrical and mechanical effects some thing out of the ordinary has been accomplished. Danny Murphy, Fox and Stewart, Ed. Jerome and Billie Morrison have leading roles. Dolly Morrissey and Helen Van Buren have been entrusted with the prima donna roles Alma Fielding is the charming soubrette and added inter est will be taken in her appearance at the Grand because of the fact that two weeks ago she was married to Frederick C. Honeyman, a Hartford young man who was until recently employed in a Hartford bank.
 The girls of the chorus are of beauty type which causes the audi ences to wonder where they were all discovered. The costumes worn by them are costly and beautiful. A high mark has been set for the staging and lavish display and the show is said to be one of the big features of the Columbia Amusement cOmpany's bur lesQue output. The comedy element is strong and the music is of a high order of excellence. All the way through. "The French Folly Girls" offer an exceptional entertainment.

 .Dr. Petit was not in his office. but the office girl promised to deliver nv message as soon as he should come in.
 The hour of waiting that followed was strenuous one. With the tact lessness which seemed to be chara C. terlstlc of the woman, my mother in-laW's nurse proceeded at once With her plan of rearranging the furniture in the sick room, so that a couch might be put in for her com fort
 "Oh, MT. Graham!' She approach ed my husband with her flashing smile. "Won't you please help me move this dresser out in the living room? Then We can put the couch in the bedroom"

 Then the interruption came. one which made me smile invoiuntarily although I was much worried as to the effect of so much excitement upon the sick woman.

 Good. Now listen to me If you or Richard want me to take any medicine before the doctor comes, yOu'll have to give it to me. I will not be annoyed With this person any longer. Take her out and keep her out. Margaret you can take care of me"
 Through my pity for the nurse my UlSmaN at the responsibility thus anew thrust upon me, ran a little thread of triumph. My husbands s mo other had demanded a trained nurse putting aside my services as of no account, and here she was putting herself back voluntarily under my care!

Why Dicky's Mother Changed Her
 Mind.

Ih1nu.
 When my mother-in-law demanded that pr. Petit be brought to her at once, I do not think her nurse un- derstood the real significance of the request
 l realized at once that the first thing the elder Mrs. Graham would dc upon seeing the physician would be to demand that the nurse be sent away and another one engaged. AL though l realized that the woman would have brought the unpleasant ness upon her own head by her ar bitrary manner and her ill-breeding, yet 1 could not help feeling sorry for her.
 Either she had no inkling of my mother-in laws meaning, or she was what Dicky would call game" for she bent over the bed again with a sugary smile
 'Yes, yes, we will send for the doctor as soon as he comes in. He is rot at his office. now"
 "Margaret,' My mother-in- laws voice held it's old arbitrary ring, al though it was so weak. "Is that true?'
 I averted my eyes from the nurses flushed face as I answered. To my mind there was little choice between her ill-breeding and that of her patient.
 ''Dr. Petit is out on his rounds now" I said quietly. II will call his office and ask that he come here as soon as he gets in.''

 The nurse followed me from the room and touched my arm.
 'It will not be necessary to tele- phone the doctor,' she said. "She will have forgotten all about it by the time she wakes up.''
 You don't know her. I re- sponded, averting my eyes from the real uneasinesS I read in hers. 'If ] do not do what she wishes she will not only be very angry, but will be- come unduly excited. something Dr. Petit warned us against on account of her heart"

CONVICTED KOREAN GETS
STAY OF HIS SENTENCE
Lawyer May Move For New Trial
In Murder Case

Sentence on You Chill Yong, convict
ed of second degree murder by jury
in Judge Ashford 5 court last week
was stayed yesterday when his lawyer,
Charles =. Davis, filed a motion in ar
rest of judgement. The motion will be
heard by Judge Ashford at nine
o'clock next Saturday morning.
Attorney Davis will probably move
for new trial, on the ground that
Yong g conviction was improper. Davis
claims that he produced two witnesses
who testified that the dead man, and
not the man who is accused with his
murder, fired the fatal shot or shots
According to his lawyer, Yong called
on his so-called stepfather-in-law,
there being then in court a suit for the
annulment of the marriage of Yong
and the mans young stcpdaughter
The parent received his visitor with
revolver. He fred once, Yong pro-
ducing in court pair of trousers with
socalled powder marks. The shot
missed the visitor. who then grappled
with the man with the gun. In the
scuffle another shot was fired-presum,
ably the fatal one. Then Yong wrested
the revolver from his assailant' 3 hand
and threw it to the floor, where it
went off third time. This is Yong 5
story, which his lawyer believes is the
truth.
