 RussWin Theater Tonight

Tonight will be "Welcome Night" at the Lyceum and the attraction will be "Our New Minister This play Is one of the greatest rural comedies ever presented and according to the number of requests Director Naylor has received for it, it will be the popu- lar offering of the season. It ranks With such successes as Way Down Hast" and "The Old Homestead.'
 The Naylor Players are especially capable of putting on the production. Philip Quin will have the part of Darius Startle, the sworn and paid protector of the community of Hard- scrabble" This is quite transition from his role in Diplomacy" but he has proved his versatility on other occasions. Ralph Murphy will be seen as "Skeezicks." Smythe Wallace, the new member of the company, will have the title role and Virginia Perry will play opposite him.
 { George Levitt, Inc, assumes the management of the theater tonight and a rousing welcome should be the rule. The new management promises the latest Broadway productions and many other changes which are sure to meet with the patrons approval.
 The first change of which noticewin be taken is that hereafter all advance sale and reservations of seats will be made at the box office exclusively, and to accommodate the public it will be open all day.

HIP HIP HOORAY
 GIRLS"-WH-E-E-E-E !!

Every year burlesque brings to the front one new artist whose work is so distinctive that he or she IS pronounced the find of the season. The honor of making this find this year belongs to 'The Hip, Hip, Hoo- ray Girls" who will be seen at the Grand theater, Hartford, all this week. The artist in question is Miss Helen Vreeland. Miss Vreeland's beauty, her magnetic personality and the splendid quality of her voice have not. only proved the wisdom of his judgment, but have already written the young woman's name high among the recognized artists of burlesque. Edward Jordan, who was associated with Miss Vreeland in her cabaret work at Hartford, is also a member of ''The Hip, Hip, Hooray Girls cast and lis also the possessor of a re- markably good voice.

The Thought That Came.

When my rush of blessed, relieving tears was at last over raised my face to Dicky's, put my arms around his neck and kissed him.
 You are so good to me, sweet heart" I whispered, "and I am not going to bother you any more. I am all right now''
 Bother mel" Dicky's tone was eloquent, his kiss more so. "Now lie still, I'll be back in minute.'
 He was as good as his word, bring ing with him a basin of cool water and a soft linen cloth With which he bathed my face, then lowering the light he resumed his seat by the bed.
 ''Try to sleep if you can," he said. I tried to obey his injunction, but I could not. I could see the hands of my little bedroom clock and after the longest quarter of an hour I had ever known I turned restlessly on my pill low.
 "Its no use, Dicky," said, 1T can- not go to sleep. I would rather talk Tell me, did Mrs. Stewards voice sound as if she were much upset? She is an old woman, you know, and she was very fond of Jack"
 Dicky hesitated ,and curious in tent expression came into his eyes.
 "Yes, I think she was pretty we'll broken up,' he answered, 'but the thing about which she seemed most anxious was that you should not lose any time in attending to the property your cousin left. I believe he wrote you concerning his disposition of it before he sailed"
 looked up startled. Dicky's words brought something to my mind that had completely forgotten. I was the heiress to all that Jack possessed, not great wealth, it is true, but enough to insure me a modest competence for the rest of my life.

The character Miss Bara plays in this wonderfully staged William Fox production out rivals all previous 'vampire'' roles. It is a characterization that will go down in screen history. To James w.

It Works! Try It Tells how to loosen sore, tender corn so 1t lifts
 out without pain. .. .,

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dis pensing freezone, the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
 Ask at any pharmacy for a quar- ter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callous.
 You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out with out pain. It is sticky substance which dries when applied and never inf1ames or even irritates the adjoin- ing tissue.
 This discovery will prevent thous- ands of deaths annually from lock- jaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting cOrnS.
