IICEIM THEATER.

That melOdramaS, when well con- structed and possessing the interest that attaches to well told story have always been among the most popular plays is well known to every one who has even a cursOry acQuaint- ance with the history of the stage Even in these times when the theater has suffered by reason of the de- Nelopment of many auxiliary avenues of amusement and entertainment. this type of play has retained it's grip on the interest of the public. An eN- ample of this form of dramatic writ ing and one that is said to have in large measure and proper propor- tions the qualities of mystery. sus- pense and notion is had in the play this week at the Lyceum For the Man She Loved" Never before in the history of New Britain have the critics been so lavish in their praise of a play given by any stock organ ization, excerpts from which are printed in the advertisement of the Lyceum in today's issue of New Brit ain newspapers. Indications are that the house will be sold out for the balance of the week. Although Thurs day night is going strong there are Sllll chOlce seats leIt TOT that even ing. While the story has for it's theme the fact that 'the woman pays it is not based on sex problems but is a stirring, gripping narrative of an episode in the life of Mary Bal lard, a thoroughly lovable character whose sacrifices for the man she loves give title to the drama. Mystery and suspense are skillfully made use of in the development of the plot and there is an infusion of comedy that serves as a leaveh to the serious phases of the play.

 Newton, Mass. But it wasn't the fault of inc mana ger, director and brains of the outfit. The matter was with the outfit itself, An auburn haired little boy with a touch of the idealist in his eyes had drilled the company of Thespians- drilled them for five weeks They had been all right at the dress rehear rsal that morning, but noW-gosh hang lt!-they were all wrong this particu- lar afternoon. They refused to act; they stood like sticks. Shades of the actors strike! That historic period had nothing on them. But it was practically hopeless. But there was one person in the audience who was trlend, and who might be called a silent partner, in that she understood the great and brave efforts that the young manager, director, star and pralns ot the outfit was making. W nile the storm of protest relative to the demanding back of the filthy lucre was going on, this person quiet " called the maid who had been si- lently watching the performance from the pantry window and bade her to go and get a gallon of ice cream. M Meanwhile, the curtain had been lowered and there was a hurried conference behind the scenes. What could be done? The silent partner suddenly appeared in the Wings-they were couple of carpets, but, hang ing on the line, they served as wings Stepping before the curtain, she an nounced that ice cream would be served at the close of the act. Nun: sed! The third act was played sue cessfully,, theA youthful star carrying the beautiful heroine across thes ravine to safety. Trem endors ap- plause followed the fall of the eur tain at the end of the act. Then came the ice cream. One dish?" Nay, two and three dishes we're devourel by that hungry multitude, and be- tween glilps there were shouts of:
 This is some shoW-iec cream and everything!"
 And when the final act was over there was unanimous opinion that the show was the best CT secn in that backward for many moons; that the star vas regular actor, and that his mother Was the greateHt lady "Wh&t ever iVed."
 There you have the famous first appearance of our leading man, who, we think, too,. is a regular actor George Wellington leading man of. the I4yceum Players. s. ...e.--..

He has supported David Warfield and Louis Mann on the stage as leading man. He doesn't get much time for pleas ure while studying many lines each week, but says that, when he gets st chance, he likes a game of tennis. Of one thing we are Sure-hc is a truly democratic person. He has al- ways been a leader in whatever parts he has played, and we hope he will continue to be a leading man in his DrofeSSior

 Well, I'm sure it is nothing to me-" said my mother-in-l law, her nose in the air and an expression of the most extreme hauteur upon her face "T felt that I had been unjust to the girl and wished to rectify it; but, upon second thought, I do not think l will ever refer to the subject.

 With which sweeping broadside against the guests I had chosen, she regally dismissed the subject and me by turning her chair nearer the Win dow and picking up magazine.
 But I was much relieved as I has tened out of the room. I had actually feared, because of Mother Graham's S wonderfully softened behavior, that she might be threatened with illness. I said to myself, however, with a little twisted smile, that I did not believe she was in any imminent danger of dying because of her amiability.

 MARY
New Britain herald., 1919-10-15

In tho kitchen of her own home Sister Mary cooks daiy for a family of four adults. She brought to her kitchen an understanding of the chemistry of cooking, gained from study of domestic science in a state university. Consequently the advice she offers is a happy combination of theory and practice. Every recipe she gives is her own, first tried out and served at her family table.
 The problem of keeping vegetables in quantities in a furnace heated eel lar I find most difficult
 There is no doubt but it pays to buy potatoes, onions, apples and pears by the bushel, and squash and cabbage by the dozen. All of these, with the exception of onions and cabbage, must be stored in a dry, dark, cool place.
 l use an upstairs closet opening off a back room. This room is for the most part, unheated. I line packing boxes with heavy paper to keep the dirt from the potatoes off the floor. The squash is put on shelves and the apples and pears left in baskets.
 The danger of freezing can be talk
 
 the room and allowing enough heat to go in every day to keep the tenn perature even. A big pan of water kept in the closet makes the air suf- ficiently damp to prevent the potatoes from Shriveling.
 Of course the quantities stored must be determined by the needs of the family and the room for storage. There is one corner in our cellar that escapes the furnace heat and in it I put onions and cabbage for they keep better in a rather damp place. , This upstairs arrangement is as convenient as the cellar for the back stairs lead directly from the kitchen to the room with the closet.

CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC
Happy and ENhiIsrstins Mental Spirit
Has Good Effect on People, De.
clare Medical Observers.

Close observers in the ranks Of the
medical profession have noted one very
interesting fact concerning the Christ
mas seasOn-that It generally has a
good tonic effect upon their patients.
In explanation Of this the London
Lancet says that since Christmas has
come to be regarded as a time for
good cheer, a universal feeling Of con-
tentment and happiness is engendered
at this time Of joyousness, routine is
for a while relieved, a certain fresh
ness is given to the daily round. dlf-
ferenees OF opinion are sunk, and a
charitable spirit prevails. Is II. by
the way, hoping for too much that the
season Of good fellowship should leave
some lasting effect upon the manners
and methods OF ALI
II may not be easy to trace exactly
why this sense OF exhilaratiOn and
well-belng comes with the advent OF
Christmas, for the psychological fac
tors concerned are not simple. But
the main point Is that the mental state
does everybody good, and the annual
festivity is just as excellent an lnsti-
tuition as the prescription OF the physi-
clan which gives tone and vlgOr to the
struggle In life's race. There Is no
need nowadays, thanks TO the good
sense Of the people and the counsels
of their medical advisers. to moralize
about the evils Of a stupid indulgence
ia feed, alcohol and tobacco on fes-
tive occasion such as the present.
Practically everybody realizes the
great physiological advantages Of be-
Ing wise on a merry occasion and the
disadvantages Of being a fool
Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins.
and they act sensibly accordingly; and
30 far from It being u crime to make
the season festive by enjoying, on a
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts of life, some decided
good IS done to both the mental and
physical health OF the Individual.
The festive season may, therefore,
)e welcomed which brings cheer TO
which induces the generous

)hyslcal functions OF the community

its business and It's wOr-
les for a time, to start again re-
reshed and ready for "the trivial
