DIPLOMACY' COMES
 BACK TO LYCEUM
Drama We'll Given by Members of

"DIPLOMACY"

pitfalls and errors, is seen at his best. very little to do but does that little well. It is Miss Virginia Perry who has the really difficult role in the play, the scheming, spying Countess Zicka. Miss Perry plays her part in an exceptionally clever manner. She might be bit more dramatic in the closing scene, in the real climax of the play.
 The minor parts of the play are in capable hands. Harry K. Hamilton plays two of these parts, Victor Bee- croft is seen as an attache of the em bassy .and Miss Irene Antel has a slow moving comedy part from which she extracts few laughs. Orrin Burke as the pompous, pugnatious Baron Stein is all the part calls for, bom- bastic overbearing diplomat. Miss Ruth Miner is very good as French maid.
 The settings are exceptionally good. Especially the second and third acts. It is doubtful if there has ever been a more magnificent scene at the Ly- ceum than the apartments of Henry Beauclerc. Then again the apartment fo the Marquise de Rio Fares is we'll appointed. To Mr. Naylor must go great deal of credit for carefully stag ing this play which marks the jubilee celebration of the Lyceum. The gowns of the leading ladies, too, are worthy of mention. Miss Perry dis plays some creations that are well worthy of Parisian setting. Miss Dow in the opening act wears an evening dress that hearkens back to the good old days when styles were more wonderful, if anything, than they are today. Miss Dorothea Antel wears 9, gown that will immediately create envy in the very noblest of feminine hearts. Altogether, Diplomacy" Is revived to the queens taste. The fare well week for 'Tom'' Lynch at the 1vceum is at one and the same time din1onoatic and dramatic.

DAMP, CHANGING WEATHER
Brings Its Toll of Sickness to New
 Britain People.

Chilly damp. changing weather is hard on the kidneys.
 Even more irritating are colds, grip and pneumonia;
 They congest the kidneys;
 They bring backache and disordered kidney action.
 For weak kidneys use tested rem edy. j.
 New Britain people recommend Doan'S Kidney Pills.
 Mrs. J. Young, 95 Elm St., New Bri- tain, says; 'I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for bachache, which seems to come on from 8 cold. They have al- ways given me relief I think they are a good medicine and that is why I recommend them to others"

through a very serious illness and who is in love with him. Dora, however, discovers that the Count is married. She then falls in love with Julian, he with her, and the tables are turned.
 The Countess Zicka who is a spy in the service of the Russian govern ment adds to the complications that follow thick and fast throughout the play. On the wedding night of Julian she steals from his portmanteau set of plans of Notifications at Con- stantinople. Before that she has suc- ceeded in having Count Orloff arrest ed upon a visit to Russia. This she does through securing information from Dora. The Count upon his re- turn tells Julian and his brother Henry how Dora has betrayed him, she being the only one who knew of his intended visit. The result. Ju- lian believes his wife a spy and a thief, and his mother-in-la law, the Mar quise de Rio Fares, an accomplice.
 It remains for the clever diplomat, Henry Beauclerc, to bring about a happy ending to the play. He unravels the mystery that surrounds Dora,
  CT by clever ruse in which the Countess zicka is trapped into a con- fession and the Baron Stein, her ac- complice, is stripped of his arrogance.
 Patrons of the Lyceum were intro duced to new member of the Naylor players last night in the person of Sn1ythe Wallace who played the lead ing male role, Julian Beauclerc. MT. Wallace was exceedingly good in the part, one~that calls for intense acting every minute of the time. Playing opposite him in the leading ingenue role is Miss Dorothea Antel as Dora. This week is by far the best oppor- tunity Miss Antel has had to really display her histrionic ability. She plays a very good Dora. As her mother, the clever woman of the world, the Marquise de Rio Fare, Miss Margie Dow is exceptionally good. Philip Quin as the astute diplomat, Henry Beauclerc, who saves his youthful brother Julian from many

 After twenty-five years "Diplo- macy has lost none of it's charm. It was the first play ever staged at the Lyeeum by T. J. Lynch who this week gives up active management of the theater. Last night it played to an audience some of whom witnessed t here when Rose Coghlan was in her prime. The Walter Naylor play CTS have struck their gait in the old crama by Nictorien Sardou.
 The story of Diplomacy is so well known as scarcely to need elaborate treatment. Its four acts are filled with dramatic situations. The Mar quis de Rio Fares and her charming Daughter "Dora'' are living in Monte Carlo. They are sore pressed finan- cially. They are seeking an outlet from their indebtedness when the young Captain Julian Beauclerc hap diplomatic corps and very wealthy. The mother has designs upon him for her daughter. There is an obstacle in the person of Count Orloff a Rus sian agent, with whom Dora is in love Also another in the Countess Zicka who has nursed Captain Julian

Louis the Fourteenth was a large.

of France when he was years of age,
went thru life with both feet on the
accelerator and succeeded in dying a
natural death Several efforts were
made. il is said, to shorten his life,
but he eyaded them all and passed
away with a triumphant look.
For a number of years after he be
came king Louis was not ahle to do
.much Of any reigning. as he was con-
fined 10 the kindergarten. hence his
another reigned for him. She proved
.one OF the best reigners France ever
had. but when Louis became of age he
mounted the throne and kept both feet
On the top ruug until compelled to let

type of the French courtier. having the
,svelte, rakish bow legs OF the period
and wearing a thick, sorrel wig which
ne would take off on retiring for the
nigh, ard hang on one of the bed
posts.
Louis the Fourteenths reign was
marked by a series Of high priced wars
with everybody on the continent oil
Europe who owned any real estate. he
was always trying to subdue somebody
who was willing to lead quiet, peace
,ful life. and one day he tackled the
little country of Holland. with so much
success that he and his army had to
swim out ofthe country when William
of Orange punctured the dykes. Louis
also fought England for years. but did
mot accomplish anything except to add
a few stories TO the public debt. In
