TO GIVE "THE ROSARY"

If there is more powerful play than The Rosary" in the repertoire of modern stock companies it is yet to be found. Produced in Chicago few years back it's success was won derful, touring companies were then formed and it toured from one end of this big country to another, it's next step was to Australia where it's success became a matter of history, South Africa, India, China and Japan were it's next countries in which to triumph, then to England where there are now, no less than three companies touring, under the man. agement of Jessie Millward, the we'll known Adelphia theater, London leading woman, whose appearance in this country as the leading woman of Charles Frohman's Empire Theater Go. of New York, is so well remem- bered Strange that it should re- main unknown to New Britainites till the enterprise of Manager Cormican makes it's production here a pOssibil- ity, tonight it's presentation will be another proof of this young managers promise to the patrons of the Ly
 Ceum to play only the best of the more serious plays, classed as drama it does not lack in comedy as there are two pairs of young lovers in the play who supply comedy of an un- usual kind. All the favorites will appear in roles to their liking and the cast will be augmented by the appearance with the company tonight of J. Burke Morgan and William Evarts, a leading man of reputation and a very clever com edian. Miss Rochte, who made such an impress sion last week in Fair and Warmer" will be a surprise this week in a very unusual comedy role. Miss Sake re- turns to the cast and this week plays opposite Mir. Cormican as a pair of Irish lovers with some very striking comedy scenes. Miss Van Waldron

FOX'S THEATER.

Madame Traverse, the talented Fox star, is the attraction at Fox's tonight in Rose of the West,' Charlie Chap lin and four acts of vaudeville are also offered.
 Rose of the Vest is an intense photoplay, revealing in full measure the unusual ability of this star, who can handle elemental emotion with great power. The scene of this Fox drama is in the Canadian northwest. An unhappy wife believes her brutal husband dead and is about to remarry and take her daughter within the bor- ders of civilization, when the husband reappears. The play contains many scenes of similar intensity and the thrills are abundant. Miss Traverse holds her audience spellbound throughout. In the supporting cast are Thomas Santschi, Frank Leigh

and Minna Provost, real Indian, who enacts an Indian role. Excellent pho- tography adds much to the enjoyment of Rose of the West.'
 Charlie Chaplin in "Shanghaied' '' without a doubt his funniest two reel comedy, provides numerous laughs, his antics while serving as cooks as- sistant in the ships galley, his trou- bles serving the ravenous crew while undergoing the agonies of sea-sick- ness, his philosophical acceptance of the numberless clouts he receives from all hands and his ludicrous efforts at revenge, all make for 30 minutes of real enjoyment. The latest Pathe News a Harold Lloyd comedy and the Topics of the Day complete the film program.
 Fox's vaudeville consists of Saun- ders, the cartoonist; Betty Harris, a very pleasing songster; Mack and Mack, a couple of old time black face comedians, and Sam Howard in a comedy sketch were all we'll received

MAE MURRAY AT THE PALACE

MAE M UfRA4 Al THE PALACE.
 Avoid the appearance of evil as the evil itself. This is the message Mae Murray wants to drive home to young girls in The Scarlet Shadow" her newest photoplay production, which will be shown at the Palace theater tonight, Tuesday and We'd nesday. She is seen as Elna Evans, continually cloistered from the world by maiden aunt who maintained that because of an alleged "scarlet strain' in the life of the girls mother Elna was not able to meet the tempt ations of the world. Elna sneaks out of window one night to go to a movie show with a romantic college boy. They have a perfectly splendid time winding up with ice cream sodas at the village drug store. Then Elna has a hard time getting back into her room. The lad crawls in and helps her over the ledge; then enters Auntie, who jumps at conclusions and thinks the worst, finding a man in Elna's room. The long g-looked-for scarlet strain" has cropped out, she thinks. After trying to force the young collegian to marry Elna, the
  and the whole course of the young girls life is changed. Thus Ena blameless and innocent, is made to suffer because of circumstantial evi- dence and the appearance of evil. The action following makes up mighty interesting photodrama
 Other photoplay features are Marie Walcamp in a new episode of "The Red Glove" and a screaming L-KO Komedy.
 The vaudeville bill the first three days consists of excellent entertain ment and includes The Three Wal seys, McNally and Ashton and Myrtle, Jess and Art
 Charlie Chaplin, in his first million- dollar comedy, "A Dogs Life" will be shown again at the Palace theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

THE C LOUD.
Lively Beach, Thursday

Lively Beach, Thursday. Joan my dear:
 l wonder if you know the dsap- pointment mood? In anticipation, the thing you are about to do seem s the One Perfect Thing in the World to do. The time is right, the place is right. There is the Man. And yet the thing you do is disappointm ent and when it is over there is an ache in your soul. Your world has dark ened and chilled.
 That is what happened at the Sunset Point excursion. We set out all gloriously. Captain Wallis had d touch of even greater distinction In his white f1annels and blue coat than in his uniform. And I looked my best. My hair had what you used to call that furnished look" (Heaven knows 1 wore out both arms brushing itD And my hat was nicely balanced between cute and daring. My suit was right. My boots were right. And didn't hurt. The folks on the porch exchanged glances as we went down the shore path straight into the western sun. My heart sang
 Tell me about your home town" he said, when we had reached the Point and found delightful spot that smelt of salt and hot sun on grassy dunes, the people you know and what you did and why you came to New York to earn your living. And about your boarding house and the fat-footed clerk who is a cynic."
 I talked and talked. And he lis tened, watching me in that studying way of his, and smiling often.
 'You're a-Wonderful kid" he said once, leaning closer to my shoulder q suppose a woman of sixty would thrill at being called a wonderful kid, wouldn't she, Joanie2)
 Neither wonderful nor a kid! But before you take it back" I bantered tell me why you think so.''
 "Oh, because"
 Come now, that's no reason for Captain in the Army; that's a wom- ans reason"
 Well, then, you're different; that's one of the wonderful things. You have real enthusiasms. And a healthy viewpoint. And you earn your way. And you're not a self f-seeker-Oh, that reminds me. You said today on the boat that you had an axe to grind. What is it?"
 Do I have to tell?" I heavy tragedied.
 Absolutely" he nodded vigor- ously.
 Hist, then, Capting!" Some inn pulse made me draw him a teeny bit toward me, and with my lips almost against his ear I whispered:
 I'm trying to worm the secret orders from you!'
 For a, feeting moment he pressed his cheek against my lips, closing his eyes and drawing a deep quick breath. But instantly he sat back again, looking quietly at me as before.
 "Spy!" he said. Now tell me your real axe or I'll have you shot at sum- rise"
 "Oh-just this" 1 waved my hand toward the sea and the distant inn "And-this." I waved it gain toward himself, though somehow my playful ness was oozing, my spirits beginning to droop.
