FOX'S THEATER HAS
 DAMAGED GOODS"

An audience that packed Foxs the ater to the doors, witnessed the first presentation of Damaged Goods" this afternoon, and the manner in which Richard Bennett's picturzation of the drama was received indicates successful run in this city.
 The attendants at the presentations ot photo dramas at the theater during the season, have been afforded oppor- tunltles of witnessing some of the best productions of the silent drama but IL IS the consensus of opinion that the Dill selected for tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening, will surpass any ot it's previous attempts. There Is something different in Damaged Goods,' than what is DOT traNed in most of the motion picture dramat1zations of the present day, parents especially are taught the ex- cellent results obtained by the mode of clean living.
 MT. Bennett assumes the leading role as George Dupont and his work merits all the praise that is forthcom- ing the part. Miss Adrienne Morrl- son, Maude Hilton and Louis Renni- son are scoring a hit in the parts all 1oted them.
 In connect;CE with he f"2:u;e. two reel comedy and a single reel drama are shown, making up one of the strongest bills ever offered local moving picture lovers.

Untruthful People

How easy it is to understand how scandals, and untrue reports of one sort or another start!
 A friend of mine was married re- gently to a man whom none of her friends knew. The wedding was pri vate and naturally her friends are now very anxious to know what the man is like.
 Someone brought up the topic the other day and one of her friends said: I'm crazy to see her and I sug- eested going out to call, but Lucy didn't seem bit cordial. I think it's awfully queer. Do you suppose she doesn't want Us to meet him ?''
 The Explanation Was Simple.
 "Why, Gertrude" spoke up an other woman, how can you suggest that? The reason Lucy doesn't want Us to come out yet is because she lives so far out. You know she told us both the other day that she was afraid we wouldn't feel repaid if we came just for the day and that as soon as she gets her guest-room fixed up, she wants us to come out and spend the night"
 Before the vigorous breath of this explanation the insinuation of Do you suppose she doesn't want us to meet hm?' was thoroughly Withered. Eut suppose the second woman had not been there to deliver that ex- planation, what then? Cant you ina zine into what ugly monster of rUmor that accusation might have grown? It would be only step from Do you suppose she doesn't want us to meet him? ?" to "She doesn't seem

MRS. ALFRED CROSS
 TO PLAY AT LYCEUM

Through the courtesy of tho man
 ascnent of the Poli Players in Hort
 ford Mrs. Alfred Cross, wife of inc
 popular leading man at the Lvce,m
 will appear here all next week in
 "The Two Orphans Mrs. Crnss
 whose stage name is Florence Hart
 Will be cast in one of the principle roles, ot the famous old play which will
 De revived at the Lyceum under tba direction of Kendall Weston. If ,.,s with great difficulty that Mrs. Cross was lured away from the Poli plav- CTS for this one week. She has hoon playing the important roles in all ,5,e productlons in Hartford and the po1i people were loath to let her away even for this brief period.
 The Two Orphans" in which ,r,o Alfred Cross players will be seen all next week is perhaps one of the most famous dramas ever written. Ii WAS in vogue in this country more tl,o, thirty years ago when Kate Claxton was ln her prime. The play that will be seen at the Lyccum is known as the Kate ClaNtOn version and adher,s strictly to the interpretation given this wonderful work by the famous actress of by-gOnc generation. There are seven pOrtentiOuS scenes in the production and the cast is made uD of nine female characters and sixteen male. Because of heavy augmentation that is necessitated actresses and ac- tors from New York had to be signed up. It is this same necessity that gives New Britain people an oDpor- tunity to see Mrs. Cross play one of the principal roles in this great drtl- ma.
 While rehcarsals arc going on for The Two Orphans,' the play of the present week, Tho Yellow Ticket" continues to be tho faVoritc topic of conversation where men gather. Be- cause of the very timeliness of it all, the plot of this play has found a great appeal with those who have been reading of conditions in Russia. The story of Marya Varenl<a, the pa thetic little Jewish girl who is so treated by the secret ser vice men of the CzarS domain strikes a sympathetic chord in everyone's heart Miss Julie. Herne is rendering an admirable portrait of the little Jewess Alfred Cross is experiencing one of his most successful weeks as the newspaper correspondent who goes from America to Russia to study conditions, and there falls in love

DUSTIN FARNUM HAS

Tn casting about for a vehicle for oustln Farnum's appearance as g. scfeen star, the Famous Players com
 pa'iE selected from a long list of plaNs and novels, "'The Gentleman rom Indlana,' big stage success ol two years ago. The wisdom of the producers in their choice has been demonstrated by the perturbation as shoWn in metropolitan centers since It's release. It is one of the best film releases of the season. It is clever " Written and the many splendid dramatic features make it a scenario that makes a deep impression. Mr. Farnum Is supported by an excellent company. His associates were chos- en from a big field of candidates, the expense entailed in connection with MT. Farnum's engagement, making it necessary that no detail be over looked in staging the piece before the camera and as a consequence the pick of the profession was at the disposal of the company. The picture is one well worth seeing. It will be at Keeney's tonight and tomorrow head lining a program of high class pho tOplays and vaudeville.
 There is much to be said of the vaudeville bill. Gardiner's spectacu- lar fantasy, ''Over and Under,'' is the feature attraction. It is a cleverly ar ranged sketch with scenic accessories that are most elaborate. Examples of expert stage craft are given during the act, some ingenious mechanical con trivances being introduced in the story.
 T1erney and company offer a series of fancy dances that make favor able impression and Couch and Larned play variety of string instru- ments entertaininglY.

 phony concerts in Hartford, pr. Muck
 has consented to mako for the last
 concert in tho season in Hartford, a
 Wagner program. This concert will
 be given in Parsons theatcr, Monday

 pr. Muck is admittedly one or the greatest, if not tnC greatest authority on Wagncrs music now living. From 1901 until 1914 he conducted all of the performances of "Parsifal' in Bayrcuth. During his long tenure as general music director of the Royal Opera in Berlin, most of the import ant Wagner work fell to him.

 The pieces he will play will be the overture to The Flying Dutchman;" a Siegfrcd Idyll; the introduction to Act 3, "Dancc Of tho Apprentices" entrance of the Mastcrsingors, and Homage from Hans Sachs Gall from the third acD from Die Mcistcrsing- CTS of Nurcmbcre"; the prelude tu 'Lohengrin"; the Good Friday Magic from "Parsifal" and the overture to "Tannhauser.'

 Not a Lie But An Untruth. Rose telephoned that she was up lot in the night with the baby" one of my housemates told me the other day.
 "Why, that's funny" said l. "she told me that the baby was better and slept all night"
 Well, now I think of it, she didn't exactly say that she was ub with the baby, but she said she didn't get much sleep because she didn't get home from the dance until o'clock"
 "Oh yes said my informant, "I guess that's what she did mean. I'm glad the baby is better"
 That's another example of the way facts become transformed as they rass from mouth to mouth Tn this case there was no unkind insinuation and no harm done. I quote it merely because it shows the way in which we translate and add to facts, incor- pcrate the translation or the addition with the original fact, and pass it on as a part thereof
 I know that either of these women would be mortified to be told that she was not truthful. But surely no one who garblcs and misinterprets what has been said to her is truthful in the very strictest sense of the word.
