HELLO JAPAN' TOPS
 BILL AT LYCEUM

Scores of people were turned away 1 from the doors of the Lyceum theater last evening at the second perform ance of the new program, and at the third show of the day there was so little extra room left for late corners that it was not worth mentioning. The matinee performance was productive of a nearly capacity audience, so that yesterday with three shows brought
 one of the largest totals for a day in several weeks.
 Today there will be three more
 shows, with the matinee starting at 2:15, the first evening show at
 o'clock and the second evening show
 at about 9 o'clock. This schedule was found absolutely necessary by the mana cement because since announce ment was made of the makeup of the program there have been insistent de ,, mands for reservations, which can not be made, and assurance has been requested that there will be seats at certain times, which cannot be grati- fled.
 There are no reserved seats at the Lyceum and everyone must take l chance, so with the big show the
 
 the week, an attempt is being made to let as many people as possible de rive the benefit. Saturdays show will be continuous. As for the show itself, no words of praise can be too high. The vaudeville bill is a top notcher, every one of the three acts being of high calbre. Opening the bill are Bollinger. Reynolds x com pany in a comedy wire walking. and bnovelty act. The "and company ap- pears towards the end in the person of little girl who proves one of the greatest little comedians the theater has had in a long time.
 Fox & Mayo, two youths with 8 kind, brought encores at the close of their offering. Both are talented in more than one line, Fox being singer and comedian, and Mayo pianist and female impersOnator. The l headliner is Hello Japan" a musical l offering with beautiful scenery and d ! good company. Seven charming girls, 1 two English comedians and a Straight man comprise the cast l the lines are good and the music tune i ful.
 William S, Hart in the picture fea-
 ture, Evolves of the Rail' lived up to l his past record and kept his estab- 1 lished reputation at high water mark. 1 Hart's vehicle on this occasion is one of his best, and the picture winds up a bill that is flawless. Remember the advancement of hours.

ELATI0NS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

she had never put it baldly into words before.
 "It isn't safe The sinister signi- meant words rang in my ears almost constantly during the days following my return, days in which l kept rath- CT closely to my room trying to rest after my exciting experiences, and t0 determine whether or not I would conf1de in my mother-in-law. Did Lillian fear Dicky's garrullty merely or was there another reason for her injunction to keep him in ignorance of my work?
 At this point in my mental conjec- lures 1 always shItdderingly hid my face in my hands, remorsefully ban ished any further travel along that line of thought. I might believe my husband careless, garruIous, "unsta blo as water but I must hold fast my
 belief in his honor and loyalty. Any other way madness lay
 Madge Waits and Waits It was almost a week before I cam to a decision--a week of mental tor ture that shall not soon forget But l saw clearly before the end of it that if I attempted any other work for my country someone in my home must know the reason for my absences. Katie and William were out of the question: Cousin Agatha absolutely impossible; Dicky barred because of Lillian's prohibition. There remained only my mother-in-law. I knew her strength of will enough to be sure she would keep my secret, if only she gave me her word to do so But how to break through the barrier of icy dig nity which she held between us was a grave problem.
 On one thing I was determined. | would allow Cousin Agatha no knowl- edge of any interview between my mother-in-law and myself. I laid my plans as carefully as any Machiavel- lian plotter. Cousin Agatha adhered rigidly to her daily "constitutiona1," a walk which she took In all sorts of weather. Katie had told me that in Cousin Agathas absence she had in- structlons to sit within hearing of Mother Graham's S room.
 But she never call" Katie said. "She different now vot she used to be. Den she yell all time, Katie, qveeck, Katie Now she never say nottings. tink dot old vomans not live mooch already yet
 I didn't reprove the girl for her un- couth language. My heart was too heavy at her prophecy. And as day after day during Cousin Agathas s ab- sences I sat With Katie, waiting for the summons which I meant to an- swer instead of my little maid, the fear grew upon me that her prophetic words perhaps were words that would come true.

so LONG LETTY' A
 CONTINUOUS LAUGH

Charlotte Greenwood and her star co-assistants dropped in at Parsons thearN', Hartford. last evening for a three days visit with "So Long I-etty.' It is barely possible that someone, somewhere at some time wrote a more humorous show, but if such is the case he has succeeded in keeping it a deep military secret
 ''So Long Lctty'' is series of giggles and laughs. It played Hart ford on previous occasions but de- spite this fact was accorded a warm reception by an audience that nearly filled the theater.
 Besides Miss Greenwood. others in the cast who help to oil the wheels of joy are May Boloy, Sidney Grant Manning and an all-star gathering From first to last ''So Long Lefty" i~ g. winner, as is testified to by it's wonderful record on the road. Catchy musical numbers and dances help to make time fly moro quickly even than pushing the hands of the clock ahead an hour.
 Scenic effects and costumes, com- blned with a clever chorus, afford d show mother father and the children should not miss. In reference to children attending, it can be said that there is not an objectionable line from curtain to curtain.
 "SO Long Lefty" will be shown again tonight, tomorrow afternoon end tomorrow night.

 DIRECTION WILLIAM FOX .
DAUGHTER OF FRANCE
 FEATURE AT FOX'S

A stirring war play, one whose ac- tion ccnters on the front lines m France, Is shown at Fox's today and tomorrow. "A Daughter of France" is a William Fox production and in it the beautiful Virginia Pearson is starred. Do American girls differ in patriotic spirit from French girls :? That is a question that will be dis cuSscd by everyone who sees Virginia Pearson in "A Daughter of France" The girl in the picture gets caught in the Whirl of the armies fighting in France. She sees all the inhumanity jof the battling Germans and feels the sting of the indignities that are being heaped upon women everywhere in the occupied territory. Yet she falls in love with an officer who is prOfesSedly fighting for the German cause and against hcr beloved France
 The solution of such a situation lends itself to highly dramatic work Of course, this girl never for an in stant loses her affection for France never for a moment gives aid and conl- fort to the enemy. She is always fighting for her country-and finally wins. There is a big surprise at the end so that neither the girl or France is sullied by the odd romance she has Deen I party 10. IllOSe WnO witness the picture will have their patriotism vastly strengthened and be enter tained at the same time.
 A bunch of cowboys who once saw Carol Holloway in the saddle voted she was the best horsewoman they ever met up with" She makes good that reputation in Episode No. 12 of Vengeance and the Woman" when she rides breakneck across a plateau and sends her horse over the edge into q river 30 feet below. This periIous and amazing horseback leap is viv- idly shown on the screen and is one of the big thrills of Episode No. F.
 The Camp Devens pictures caused much interest, as many of the audi ence picked out a son, brother sweetheart on the screen yesterday, which made this picture have per sonal touch to many. Billie West, in The Slave,' Mutt and Jeff and the Pathe News make up an entertaining yet patriotic bill.

''The melancholy days have come the saddest of the year Bryant.
 Tn the midst of a rainy, blustery, shivery. miserable March day, that quotation popped into my head and revealed to me a state of mind which l have long harbored without fully recognizing it.
 '"The melancholy days, the saddest Of the year." are not October and NoNem ber to me Gas they were to the poet) but March and April.
 March and April Arc Unsatisfactory
 Months.
 Take in the first place the physi- cal aspect of those months. l think March is far more apt to be dreery than it's p1ement-November and October much more certain to be al turing than April. There is an un- satisfactoriness about March and April either for work or play. They are not suitable for either winter or summer sports: they arc not even specially good for walking. There is the spring lassitude in the air and most probably a spring muddiness under foot. October is par excel lence the month for walking, either for walking trips or for tramps through the home country. Some of the richest memories of my life are long. happy walks through October woods. April is supposed to be the time when the Red Gods call one out Cr the open road, but I always hear their call most plainly in October. Spring Rather Than Autumn Accents
 the Passing of Youth.
 In the second place, October and November do not, for some reason, fill me with a sense of the passing cf youth, so much as March and A pril.
 October and November suggest age, but they suggest it in a beautiful, comforting way. They are the months of mellowness and fruition. They are heautiful they are peaceful, they are satisfying. They are harmonious part of the orderly progression of life. They do not make me resent the inevitable coming of the quieter years; they make me more ready to understand and acquiesce.
