GRIPPING DRAMA ON
 LYCEUM STAGE NEXT

But one more opportunity to see the Walter Naylor Players in Douglas Fairbanks sparkling comedy "A to see. Ralph Brown in action don't nniss this last chance.
 Little Peggy O'Moore.' the Walter Naylor Players next production will be featured by the Antel sisters who have just returned from their moth er's bedside. Daniel Murphy, tho principal male character finds him. self bitterly attacked by political enemies, who even charge him with dishonesty. He resents 1t only that 1t may not have the effect of hurting the people that he loves. through him. How he takes his own life into his own hands to stop a run on g. bank and quiet a mob that is more like wild animals how he Is shot down while he ia trying to bring order out of disorder, and how he finally wins the love of Perry O'Moore. forms a story of absorbing interest which lends itself especially we'll to stage production. There are chances to laugh at good comedy. there are chances to sit up and grip the arm of your orchestra chair during tense situations and there are opportuni- ties to exert your guessing faculties wondering how it is all coming out.
 Sunday evening E. H. Sothern will appear in his best photoplay 'The Man of Mystery.' Don't fail to see this magnificent feature.

FAIRBANKS STAMPS
 OUT A REVOLUTION

'"The Americana" in which Douglas Fairbanks will be seen at Fox's thea :. ter Monday and Tuesday is a play of stirring adventure in q South Ameri- can country, upset by revolution. Fairbanks of course is the center of things. He appears as Blaze Der ringer, the play having been made
 from the novel of that name by Flu gene F. Lyle. Jr. Blaxe goes to the
 Republic of Paragonia to represent
 some American Mining interests. The
 principal reason why he undertakes
 the commission is that he has had
 glimpse in New York of the beauti- fIl daughter of the president of Par agonia Ind is exceedingly desirous of Ter further acquaintance. On his arrival in the country he finds the president in jail, tho prime minister in hiding and the company's ohces demolished. There remains of the office staff only one survivor, a negro porter, who has spent most of his time since the political upheaval in a cellar. Joining forces with this lone survivor Blaze sets about es- tablishing conditions of peace, right ing the wrongs of the imprisoned of- flcials and generally bringing about a state of affairs where he can do bus- iness for his company and marry the girl of his choice. A pitched battle with four Paragonian athletes who endeavor to squelch him is one of the interesting features of the picture. The Americana" is said to be one of the best plays from 8 standpoint of dramatic action, that Fairbanks has vet had, besides afIording him . full opportunity for the exercise of his unique talents. The closing chapter of 'sPearl of the Army with Pearl White will be an added feature on the Monday and Tuesday program at Fox'S

SlkHONY ORCHESTRA TO CONCLUDE SEASON

Ine last concert of the season by the Boston Symphony orchestra under pr. Karl Muck will be given in Par sons theater, Hartford, Monday even- Ing, March 26th. In response to the many requests which have been made to him Dr. Muck is giving at this concert Wagner program, thus end- Ing the season in the same way he old the season of 1915-1916. The Wagner concert the orchestra gave a year ago was one of the most brilliant and successful events of the musical season and at least as much may be promised for the coming concert
 The program with one exception will be entirely different from that which was given last spring, the ex- ception being the prelude to 'Iohen- grin" which will be repeated. An im- portant feature of the concert will be the performance of excerpts from the great Ring from ''Sieg- fried" and 'Gotterdammerung" that have been arranged for full orchestra. The selections themselves are played exactly as Wagner wrote them but the connecting links were made by the great Wagnerian conductor, Hans Richter. They display two of the most thrilling episodes of 'The Ring" Sicgfried's Passage. to Brunnhilde. from the last act of 'Siegfried" and his departure. and journey down the Rhine, from the first act of "Gotter- dammerung."
 The program in it's entirety calls for the overture to "Rienzzi.' the prelude to "Lohengrin," the introduc- ton and Bacchanale from the first act of the Paris version of Tam hauser;" the prelude to Die Meis- tsrsinger:" the prelude to Tristan and Isolde' and the selections from "Siegfried" and "Gotterdammerung.'

What Dr. Petit Said, to Nladge.

What Dr. Petit Said to Madge. Dicky stopped his wild rush along the floor of Madison Square Garden so suddenly that expected to see him take a header over the man nearest him. His face held so chaotic a mixture of emotions that almost laughed outright. Relief, chagrin. be- wilderment, rage, all were reflected In his face and eyes. For a moment he stood perfectly motionless, glaring up ct me where sat in the small balcony with Dr. Petit. Then he snapped his
 fingers with g gesture that knew
 meant the beginning of one of his un- controllable rages, and, turning on his
 heel, disappeared in the crowd.
 For a moment could hardly be-
 lieve my eyes. It surely was in-
 credible that Dicky, after summarily
 leaving me in a mob such as that which swirled around Madison Square Garden on the night of the presidents speech there. should resent my being
 under the protection of Dr. Petit.
 Common sense ought to have told him that I must have met Dr. Petit by accident in the crowd; common decency ought to have made him grateful that had found some one to QkVtSCI u10 the C6EItUI0 VI u0AA VA tho crowd after he had left my side to rescue a girl he knew from the danger of being killed.
 But had lived with Dicky' long enough to realize that when he was in the grip ofone of his unreasonable fits of temper nothing else mattered. I reasoned that as soon as he had seen to the safety of the girl he had rescued that he had begun a search for me. That he had been wild with anxiety I could tell from his attitude as he rushed around the auditorium below. The reaction of finding me, safe and apparently very we'll content in the company of pr. Pettit-of whom he always had been unreason- ably jealous-had been too much for his always uncertain temper.
 ssNor Do Care"
 I cast a sidelong glance at pr. Pettit, wondering if he had recog- nized Dicky. By a certain grim tightening of his lips realized that he must have done so. It was g. long minute before he spoke, and he had LII the appearance of 8 man trying to control himself. I knew what was passing through his mind as well as he had spoken his thoughts aloud. l had long suspected that the young

The Automobile Menace.
BY a. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Copyright, 1879

Here is a tragic fact to whieh l
would call the attention of every man
and woman who drives an automobile
According to the latest available sta
tistics, 3,97S persons were killed by au-
tomobiles in single year in the regis
tration area of the United States.
The previous year only 2,S26 SUI
fered death from this cause. In one
year, that is to say, the automobile
death rate rose from 4.3 per hundred
thousand population to 50, an increase
of 81 per cent.
Had there been but seventy-five more
deaths in the year of the larger total,
automobile accidents in the reglstra-
tion area would have cost as many lives
as accidents with street cars, subway
trains, elevated trains, bicycles and all
horse-drawn vehicles combined.
These figures relate to the years ~
