"MARY'S ANKLE" AT
 PARSONS A HIT.

There is a wealth of original fun
 in "Mary's Ankle" the clever farce
 comedy by May Fully, which A. H.
 Woods will present at Parsons thea
 ter tonight and the balance of the
 week with matinee Saturday, with the
 original New York cast, "Mary's Ankle," comes directly from the Bi-
 jon theater, New York, where it has just completed an engagement of three months, and where it was pro- claimed one of the cleverest farces in years.
 The New Years attraction at Par. sons theater will be Fl. H. Frazee's newest farce hit, "A Queens" opening next Monday night and continuing until Wednesday night, including New Years Day and Wednesday mat frees. A Queens" is announced by Mr. Frazee as the funniest farce seen in years." The production will be given in Hartford after a. three weeks tour starting at Atlantic City. It was written by Emil Nyitray, who also wrote He Comes Up Smiling" and "The Typhoon." It has three acts and three new and unusually elaborate sets of scenery. Many we'll known farceurs are included in the company.

Cohan and Harris will pre- sent new comedy entitled The Teacher of Goshen Hollow" from the pen of Harry James Smith, with Miss Mary Ryan in the principal role, as- sisted by Curtis Cooksey and a spe- cially chosen cast.

IDLE WIVES" IS
 BOOKED FOR FOX'S

A play with a message and mis- sion, and a play that teaches lesson to all classes is ''Idle Wives" a star tling eight-part moving picture df life which will come to Fox's theater for three days starting Sunday. It is, among other things, preachment on discontent. To wives who are dis contented, to husbands and wives who are drifting apart, to those who are in comfortable circumstances, but who are envious of those whose for tune is greater, and to the working man and woman, Idle Wives exer- cises a powerful appeal. The play was designed by its author, James Oppenheim, to show that discomfort is the principal cause which results in misunderstanding and leads to the divorce mills and to the downfall of young girls. Young men whose methods of living are a menace to the communities in which they live will find much for their benefit in the picture, while headstrong girls, who think that their mothers are old fashioned and too minded to properly interpret the attentions of a certain class of young fellows, will see something that will wake them up. A prominent New York dra- matic critic has called "Idle Wives a second Intolerance" for 1t Is pre- dicted that its effect will be as far reaching and decisive as was that of the other big films. ''Idle Wives'' aims to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and there are some revelations about tho men and women of so-called high so- ciety," and their manner of living.
 is is said ''the devil finds work for idle hands" and when woman who has been accustomed to having something to occupy her mind suddenly finds herself in the very lap of luxury. without tho ne. cessity of lifting hand from morn ing until night. the devil is pretty sure to get busy. for he has fertile soil to cultivate. And the ruins he wreaks, tho seeds of sorrow that he sows, are the miserable conoeuuences of 1t all. are ably and badly presented in ''Idle Wives" It Is a picture that will, at times make you laugh: it may even make you weep. once or twice. But one thing is certain: it will make you think hard. and think
 of some things that you've never
 bothered much about before.

GRANDMA NEVER LET
 HER HAIR GET GRAY
glossy with common garden Sage and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture though, at home is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use prep aration, improved by the addition of other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time. By morning all gray hair disappears. and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark ened, glossy and luxuriant.
 Gray, faded hair, though no dis grace, is a sign of old age. and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is a delightful toi- let requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga- tion or prevention of disease.

1 rest of civilization, now holds the center of the worlds stage, the spot light full upon it, and everyone of
 reading age is watching open-mouthed to see just what will come out of the almost impenetrable confusion that seems to have cast itself about the country, like great cloak
 Ever since Car Nicholas was over throwH, his throne taken from him, and forced into exile, Russia has un- dergone a period of great anxiety for the entire universe. The past of that big country has been revealed, the cloud of doubt somewhat lifted, and now it's interior is being peered into. What is the cause of existing conditions? Who is to blame? What has Nicholas real power been? Has he been the true ruler or was he merely the puppet in the hands of oth- CTS, stronger than he, more powerful and with greater influence?
 All these questions have arisen, and now they are to be answered in part, with the best historical references to aid in the task. The character Ras- putin, whose name has been linked with Russia's, is to be shown to the world, the route he took in climbing into the most influential post in the country's government is to be- traced, and the story is to be given to this coutry through the greatest medium, the motion pictures. Thus the Ey-' ceum theater management announces that "Rasputin, The Black Monk" a massive production revealing the in- side story Of Russia is to be the feat ure of It's program today, Friday and Saturday.
 Seven of flmdom's greatest actors and actresses play the leading roles Montagu Love, June Elvidge,- Arthur Ashley, Henry Hull, Julia Dean, Irv- ing Cummings, and Hubert Wilke bearing the bulk of the work. Oth- CTS in the supporting cast have been picked for their ability In this great film, the story of the black monks rise into power Is told, and how his influence is exerted even in the great war that is now holding the world in it's grasp is traced. The most dan- gerous, despicable character in Rus sia, and yet an interesting and impor- tant character, is this monk. Keren- sky, the man of the hour and other leading characters in Russia's situ- ation play their parts in this picture. Everyone who desires to understand the real facts in the present world situation will want to see it. It is too good to miss.
 On the program these three days will also be the Keystone comedy, Ly- ceum Weekly, and other subjects. The real motion picture-treat the rest of the week is at the Lyceum. Remem- Der that, and take heed.

Have you heard of ;'"The Other Fellow Movement" yet?
 Of course you have heard of the Conservation movement. l doubt 1T there is anyone in the country who has not. When I went the other day through a remote country district. I saw a conservation card in alm ost every window. And equally of course you are trying to do your bit, trying to help tho nation and her allies (and incidentally conserve your own re- sources) by saving whatever you can in your own household.
 But the Other Fellows Movement asks you to go one step further. Being the Keeper of Your Brothers

 It wants you in the words of it's instigator ito look about you for op- portunities to save that which belongs to your neighbor and the stranger you have not even seen.'

 That is true, they charge enough to cover those losses. But that is not the point. The individuals loss is the nation's loss.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Where Is the Note Dicky Was to
 Write?
By ADELE GARRISON

Where Is the Note Dicky Was to Write? It wasn't until had hung up the receiver after talking to Mrs. Durkee that l wondered if Dicky could pos ! sibiy have an engagement for the evening. e5, # The thought made me hurry to the dining room, where Dicky was finger ing over a belated breakfast. Only the day before he had finished an inn portant piece of work which had kept him unusually busy. for several days. It was always his custom after such a spurt of work to take it easy" as he expressed it, for a, time, and he had declared his intention the night before of not going to his studio in the city until the afternoon. Mrs. Durkee and Alfred arc com- ing over tonight"
 thought it wiser to make the statement first instead of asking him whether or not he intended to spend the evening at home.
 '"The deuce they are!'' Dicky turned abruptly from his omelet and frowned blackly at me. "Did the thought ever strike your alleged brain that 1t might be we'll to find out whether, would be home before is- suing invitations to the neighbors for the evening? Or perhaps you don't care whether I am home or not"
 ''Nice Performance!''
 If it were not so irritating, Dicky's childish petulance would be amusing. But was not in a particular jocular mood.
 T haven't issued any invitations to the neighbors,' I answered jelly. Mrs. Durkee called me up and asked me if we were to be at home this evening. She said she and Alfred wished to come over because Alfred is going to Plattsbrug soon and wishes to see us all before he goes. Under those cir cumstances I was injudicious enough to propose oysters and a rarebit. But, of course. it will only take minute to phone her that I was mistaken about your being home"
 I turned away and went swiftly out of the door and into the reception hall in an alcove of which the tele- phone was situated. I had taken the receiver down before Dicky reached me. snatched 1t out of my hand and replaced it on the hook. ... /
 What the devil is the matter with you, anyway" he stormed.
 II am not aware that there is any thing amies with me- I returned cooily. s'rs s.,s.r., -s.
 Well. there isl" he retorted. "You
