After completing one of the most successful weeks possible, in the line of excellence in attractions, the ly- ceum theater will open tonight with another list of pictures that should prove attra active to it's legion of pa irons Then to follow up the open ing wedge. other pictures of more than ordinary activeness will be given, so that this theater, with a high standard reputation to keep Up with, promises to go right along out distancing all rivals.
 Sunday night, always a, big night at the Lyceum, will bring a number of ttractions of first water. Mar garita Fischer, a charming actress of excellent reputation in the art, will be featured in "The Girl Who Couldn' t Grow Up.' a dainty story with a dainty star. This will be, however, only one of a long list of attractions. Others will include the Lyceum Weekly, showing happenings of recent occurrence throughout the world, Keystone comedy, and other attrac~ tiOns.
 Almost every day someone asks, When is Charlie Ray coming back?" and to each query the reply is given, that as soon as possible, this most popular young man will be returned in a good vehicle. Now with a great degree of pride the management is able to announce that the big fellow will again greet his friends, in his lat est and his accredited best, His Mothers Boy" Ray is a different sort of character than the average screen star. Beauty experts say he is not handsome, and his friends like wise admit that Adonis had something on him.
 But there seems to be something or other in his manner that acts like 8 magnet. He draws people to him, and they stay his friends as soon as they see him. That is for his per sonality. Then there is his ability as an actor. There is not a more nat ural actor now before the public than this same Charlie Ray. Take him in a fight scene. He lets the other fel- low do his share of pounding. and never cleans up an army with a single blow. He gets mad; yes, he gets real mad, and he lets everybody know it without throwing his face into spasmS.
 And when he gets to the love part. Just listen to the girls sitting behind you when his fellow starts the soft stuff, and you will understand that he is an artist at it. His Mothers Son" is a different sort of picture with a real story, excellently pre- scented. Monday. Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week will bring this big feature. Wait for it. Alice Howell in comedy, and several others will be presented.

GAY LORD QUEX"
 AT PARSONS THEATER

John Drew and Margaret Ellington will be seen at Parsons theater this evening in Pinero's charming comedy, The Gay Lord Quex'' It is one of the real treats of the theatrical sea- son and should be seen by lovers of good acting.
 For once a "crook-play" has been fitted on a new last and for once such a piece has been written with clear talent for more than the ele- mentary procedures of the theater- De Luxe Annie,' to be seen at Par sons theater for the first three days next week, with a cast headed by Miss Jane Grey. Arthur Hammerstein produced the play, which was drama tized by Edward Clark with a dis tinct touch of originality and a keen sense of effective method on the stage. The play unfolds the singular case of Annie, who is unquestionably a swim dler and an expert one, but so seem- ingly in variance to her natural in- stincts, will and environment MT. IIammerstein will send the original New York cast which includes, be- sides Miss Grey: George Anderson, Mary Hall, Thurlow Bergen, Minnie Milne, Albert Pruning, Percy Police, Ernest Anderson, Jack MacBride, Russell Davis, Robert Smiley and oth- CTS to Hartford.

'PARENTAGE,' PICTURE
 AT FOX'S SUNDAY

'Parentage," the big special seven- reel thought film that open for a three day run at Foxs theater tomor- row night is destined to make the silent drama more popular than ever before, for it strikes an entirely new note, and besides being a masterpiece of dramatic art, it embodies an inn portant moral in the most impres- sive way possible The subject treated is as old as creation, is without ques- tlon, the most vital, because it affects every man, woman and child in the universe. It is the most important topic in every household, and has been ever since men began to be born. For centuries it has occupied the ex- aited place, and it will continue to re- main there as long as we have the e"rth, the sky and the sea. At first it might appear that "Parentage" is d 'preaChy' production. But it is not; On the other hand, it is one of the most dramatic entertainments shown on the screen since motion pie ture cameras were invented. It is a story which shows the effects of par ents' lives upon their children. There is no unnatural attempt to obtain thrills or sensa tions, and no far fetched straining for effects The theme is beautiful, and the story sur rounding it is one that might have been taken from your own household. It is truth, without any attempt to exaggerate and there are moments when the audience will laugh heartily and others when eyes that are dry as the great Sahara will be moved to tears. It touches a responsive note in the human breast of every soul that knows the meaning of divine affection, and that is most of us. 'Parentage" is a beautiful story dealing with fatherhood, motherhood, and child hood and it deals with such vital problems in home life, and it presents an array of questions that will startle the onlooker at their comprehensive ness. Several pointed and vital ques- tiOns are asked in "Parentage," as for example, Do you tell your sons the vital truths of life, or let them learn them where they may?", Your daughter-do you know her friends?", "Unwelcome at birth, has a child a fair chance in Hfe?' It is a. clean and forcefuI picture, one which every par ent must see, and which any child can and should see. Prices will not be advanced.

SIDE \ TALKS
Do Every Bit You Can
BY RUTH OAA1KRoE

no one in the war in whom I am in- terested. Why should I?'
 Suppose Her Husband Dies.
 Again the same friend urged an other woman to make dressings and received this astonishing reply: Ts have given my husband. I think ] have done my bit Suppose fel want of surgical dressings her hus- band dies?
 Yesterday I heard, I am doing my bit when I pay the higher prices
 And besides all these are many women who still follow the even tenor of their way. For them no war exists
 My letter friend is certainly right.
 And we've got to make up for these women, you and I who want to look back when the war is over and know we played an honorable part in the greatest making of history the world began.
 We've got to all get together and do not just our bit-but every bit we can.
 Make It Our New War Cry.
 How would that be for new war cry?
 Since her letter brought the futility of "do your bit'' home to me I have been seeking a new phrase and that is the best that comes to me.
 If you can't, start this one going, say it to your neighbors, to your parishioners, to your customers, to your patients,-according to your work in life.
 And don't only say it, live it.
New Britain herald., 1918-01-12

Phrases, like everything else in the world, have their day of usefulness and then cease to be. Sometimes, however, the empty phrase unfortu- nately outlasts it's usefulness.
 A reader friend suggests that this is the way with that phrase which in the last few months has probably been uttered some billions of times Do Your Bit.
 That phrase" she says, was well enough perhaps some months ago but it is far from being well enough now. Too many indolent Or selfish or unthinkable people are settling .aback with a sigh of content and say ing I have done my bit
 Not Because It Was 8 Mite, Because
 1t Was Her All.
 The men in training camp or al- ready in France are giving their all. How can we rest content with our bit? The widows mite was not com mended because it was a mite but be- cause that mite was her all.
 Tt is only when we come to realize that every little counts, but that only little does not count enough, that we shall begin to do our full share as a nation and shall have definitely set our feet on the road to peace.
 "Of course there are many noble men and women who are making heroic efforts, but there is also a large class whose lack of responsi- bility is almost unbelievable
 "A friend of mine urged a woman of abundant leisure to help in some way. Her answer was, Why I have

If you join the 'I Won't Shiver club' and wear one of these long knitted and serge coats, a warm and stylish combination, you can laugh at zero weather. The cloth part of the coat is blue serge and the rest is hand knitted in brown. For warmth there are few garments that can match it. The long collar can be brought up and muffled about the neck and face.
