THE RAMBLER ROSE
FULL BLOWN COMEDY

Just why it was called THE Ram
bier Rose" no one, not even the
authors, will perhaps ever know: but,
suffice it to say, the musical comedy
of the same name which is now play
ing at Parsons theater in Hartford
has all the fragrance OF a ram bier
rose-without the rambling.
The simple reason this particular
show is appealing might be named Off
hand. It is a double reason-Julia
Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorn.
The thorn in the last name, by the
way, is not in any way used to offset
the rambler rose. Whoever put the
thorn in Joseph's name did him an
injustice AS to the real rose, Miss
Sanderson's reputation is too we'll
known to need further poetic effusion,
She and her MIN ble-witted companion
are worth all the money any man
would have to pay to get by the box
Office, war tax included.
THE Rambler Rose will play
three more performances at Parsons
before rambling on its way. If it's re-
ceptions in other places are as good
as that afforded it last evening there
is no fear for it's success. 1t has a
modest little plot, not enough to hurt
IL, ana IL possesses SeNe1dl AlIl16 HUI
odies which invite to whisling after
the show.
Aside from Miss Sanderson and Mr..
Cawthorn the work of John Colds
worthy and Miss Ada Meade stood out
I'm contrast to that of An excellent
company. George e. Mack. as an &C.
centric millionaire, was also worthy of
mention.
The three scenes Of 1.-The Rambler
Rose are we'll appointed. They lead
q merry chase from a girls boarding
school to an artists studio in Paris
and from there to a sporty village
Somewhere in France" Even in a
blizzard THE Rambler Rose" is worth
trip to Hartford.

LILLIAN Underwood came back into

behind her, and both faces showed

had been under while Supervising the
exodus Of Anna Berg, the nurse, who
for weeks had been masquerading in

crime had recognized her. and Lillian
had at once suspected the woman of
being a Prussian spy set to watch her
home because Of Lif1ian,s connection
with the government secret service, a
connection jealousy guarded, but OF
which the woman or her employers
must have received an inkling.
But while Lilllan's face had lost

JACK PICKFORD ON
SCREEN AT LYCEUM

Jack Pickford, who, through his
excellent work since joining the mo-
ton picture ranks has won a high
place in the film world and has be-
come one of the greatest juvenile
actors in the business, has completed
another feature that is better than
any of his previous work. Louise
Huff, the pretty young actress who
has been with him on his upward
travel, is also seen in this production
and proves a worthy teammate. The
Varmint," from the pen of Owen
Johnson, author of several college
stories, is the vehicle this time, and
gives the popular team excellent OPP
portunities for their peculiar style
OF acting
No longer is he obliged to be her
aided as "Mary's Brother; he makes
his way as just Jack Pickford, one
OF the greatest young actors in the
motion picture business. The Var
mint" shows the young fellow at his
best and shows Miss Huff in a very
acceptable role. The popular pic
ture with the popular stars will be
at the popular theater, the Lyceun1,
today and tomorrow. What better
ombination can be imagined?
On the same program will be the
Lyceum Weekly, with all thes latest
war news and news Of the world of
general interest. These pictures, parts
of which are taken from the different
army cantonments and scenes from
the various European war fronts have.
