FOX'S THEATER.

The eXciteme ent around the Fox the ater yesterday would give one the i'm pression that President Wilson or Gen eral Pershing was visiting the theater. While neither of the famous persons were in our city the Fox management had something that created the great est interest imaginable. This is a brand Of high class vaudeville new to this city and a feature production that has never been equaled here. The pie ture, "The Prussian Cur" an eight part mammoth production just put out by William Fox, is everything that one could wish flor, thrills, action, soldiers in action and a story of the most vital interest, the cause of the present war. Everyone is urged to see it, as another picture will probably never come to New Britain of this variety. Patrons are urged to come early and those who can are requested to see the show in the afternoon as seats are certain to be at a premium in the evening. Man ager Mcdonald displayed the skill of a practical and experienced theater manager in bringing four real big acts for his opening entertainment. Such vaudeville as is seen at FOX'S is new

 rbanks makes this picture one p cticaIly alone in it's class. In the h ae of aristocratic persons of W .lth in New York, there is more or lt trouble, due to petty jealousies, ql rreIs and bickerings and the like, b, when MT. Fix-It' enters and pl ctica1ly expounds his theory of
 h. ,piness, which consists in making
 ot ,ers happy, the real trouble begins. TT s comedy play is said to be an ex client antidote for the blues. It Is ! society play in which many beau tiff Il women appear and exquisite
 to cites are displayed. Many novel
 su prises are promised, not the least
 of which is desperate battle with
 ga lgsters and several sensational
 F7s lrbanksian stunts. A better and
 more entertaining vaudeville program co id not be presented to the public
 of New Britain than the one which

The greatest interest centered around
 Reslsta, the mite of a girl who weighs only 98 pounds yet cannot be lifted. Many of New Britain's strong men have promised to attend the per- forn1ance tonight determined to lift her, but this girl only laughs and says Show me" When she is carried high above the stage by a rope and pulley by three men and then forces herself to the floor disregarding the efforts of the men she certainly as- tonishes everyone.
 Continuous applause marked the showing of ''The Prussian Cur' and 1t Is safe to say that many days will pass before a picture Of this stamp Is seen here again. The marines in ac- tion and an abundance of patriotic scenes, General Pershing, General Foch, etc., all make up 3, picture that cannot be surpassed at this time. Other short subjects were seen in ad- dition to "The Prussian Cur

Because It's for One Thing Only, and New Britain People Appreciate It.
 Nothing can be good for everything.

 Mrs. A. W. Plumb, 82 Elm St, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have given good satisfaction whenever I have used them. The pain across my back and shoulders has caused considerable annoyance.

 Opening the vaudeville part of the program was Charles Ledegar, an amusing acrobat who does variety of stunts on a bounding rope. Laughs of the most substantial sort greeted his offering. Following this came Ger trude Rose, a delightful little com edienne who has an abundance Of "pep" and introduces the latest song hits from Broadway. The entertaining qualities of Perkof and Gray were quickly recognized by the capacity au- dience and these two young people bring forth plenty of laughs with the splendid brand of comedy they have.

REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
Why Lillian Told Madge That Harry
 Might Gail While She Was Away.

Lillian saved me the humiliation Of answering Jack concerning the possi~ bility of Dicky's presence at the Wed- ding the next day.
 Tt will be a toss-up whether or not he can come," she said, with just tho right amount of careless knowledge tn her tone. You people haven't any idea how one of those illustrat ton stunts ties you down. However, we'll wire to the Dicky-bird right away and find out. Shall I do 1t, Madge, as I'm siving the party?"
 "Oh, surely," I repliedf blessing her for her forethought.
 l had premoniti0n that Diclly would refuse to come to the wedding, knew that Lillian shared my misgiv- ings, and was purposely saving me the humiliation of sending an invita- ton to my husband which he was practically sure not to accept.
 That's settled then," Lillian turned to Katherine. /
 "How long will it take you to dress?" she said. I'll phone for taxi as sooon as I send the wire to Dicly. You and I are going shopping Madge will look after things here"
 I think we all three grasped her meaning at the same instant We knew that Katherine's purse wouldn't admit of anything save the most meagre of hurried trousseaux. That Lillian, with the generous impulses which are always hers, meant to sup ply all deficiencies was perfectly pat ent. Jacks forehead contracted into 9 frowh, and there was protest in Katherines also, a protest however, mingled With an irrepressibIe girlish joy at the unexpected prospect of dainty things.
 Lillian saw the frown, protest and longing, and disposed them all with

EVERY MAN HAS HIS STAR
Influence for Good Luck Cones Only
With Use Of cein, 10 AZ Com
munleation, French Say.

A superstition the Americans have
been taught to respect is that Of the
coin and the star. The French say
that every man has his star, but he
can't secure its influence for good
luck unless he uses a coin to put him
IN communication with it. observes q
Paris correspondent. If the proper
coin is used the star can be called
ON to exercise its protecting virtue.
and once this has been established
there is no reason for the fortunate
soldier TO worry further. The ques-
tion in the minds Of the Americans
Is whether American coin will have
any influence with the stars.
American soldiers have discovered.
however, that the most popular Gus
tom with the French is that Of rub
bing wine or brandy behind the ears.
To many Americans this NAV seem
an uncalled-for waste Of good French
drink, but the French soldiers be-
lieve implicitly in the practice.
The proper time TO perform this
action, according to the French. is
just before going into battle, when
the wine is passed around to brace
the nerves Of the soldiers. No mat
ter how careful the dispenser of the
wine or brandy is, there are always
a few drops dripping from TIE con.
tainer. II is these that the soldiers
are anxious to catch. They hold
their hands underneath and when
the drops Of wine or brandy fall Oh
them they quickly rub the fluid be-
hind their ears. But few Of them
ever rub it on their tongues.
