LYCEUM THEATER.

When "A Stitch in Time,' now in it's fourth big day at New Britain's fashionable Lyceum theater, was be- ing given it's premier star run at the Fulton theater, New York, it enjoyed the unique distinction of being the first play ever presented in full in a hospital.
 The event took place at what is known as Debarkation Hospital No. 8, in New York City, on a Saturday eve- ming, immediately upon the arrival in that city of the first shipload of wounded soldiers from France. The performance was given without seen cry, but the audience of 5000 boys in khaki, hundreds of whom had to be wheeled or carried from their wards to the big amphitheater, gave it the most wonderful reception ever ac- corded a play.
 The favorite Lyceum Players are presenting "A Stitch in Time' with all of the elaborate scenic equipme ent which the hospital lacked, and their work is creating fully as much en- thusiasm among the playgoers of New Britain.
 Tn the delightful role of winsonl e little Phoebe Ann, Miss Margaret Leonar's work stands out as some of the best of her notable career. She makes of the real scrub- girl a real fesh-and- blood heroine, one who wins her way, through sheer personality, into the favor of playgoers, and 1 whose art is, indeed, superb. All of the other chara cters are de- 1 lightfully portrayed in the usual fin- [ ished manner of the talented Lyceum Players. Back of it all, Manager Mason has provided a costly and elaborate production, fully qualified to rank with that which was present. ed at the Fulton theater when the play was first offered 10 the public. But four more performances remain tonight, Friday night and Saturday matinee and night.

Back Stage

The curtain had just gone down on the matinee performance of "A Stitch in Time" at the Lyceum theater yes
 terday afternoon. Miss Margaret Leonard, leading woman of the Ly
 ceum Players, bright-eyed and smil- ing greeted us as we were introduced by Mr. Mason, director of the play CTS We had come to interview her. We were invited into her dressing room, MPre, in the warm glow of a cluster of electric lights that sur rounded a mirror, we sat and talked for , minutes or more. It was a cold, chilly day outside-in fact, it had been so all day long-and the cluster of lights had a certain warmth a about them that was comforting and inviting. And then, there was also the warmth of Miss Leonard's gra- Cious smile. And of her what will we say? Lots. We will begin with Boston, the hub of the universe, for that is where Miss Leonard spent those happy days of childhood. She was not born there, to be sure Elmira, N. Y. was where she first saw the light-but the New England city was where she wore her hair long, her dresses short, where she recited history and hated 'rithmetic, loved to play and dance and spend a day in the salt waters of Revere Beach, where she learned to swim and dive like a mermaid. She is Boston bred, surely. ] Later, when she had grown up to be a tall slender girl, she at tended a Quaker school in Provi- dence, R. L. where she received the usual training in vogue at "prep" schools and continued her taste for dancing and her love for the water. Why shouldn't she? There was a wonderful swimming pool at the school, The girls often gave dances and parties among themselves and

Cheyenne Harry appealed to the sheriff of a neighboring county, but was told that it was not in his prov ince. Yet the two counties sure made some hit with each other when the fair daughter of the Penkerton sheriff charm ed the rancher. She made him quit his trusty iron when it was m ost needed, but he stuck to his promise only until pandem onium broke loose, when the six-shooter again graced the person of Cheyenne Harry. A Whirl- wind of action then ensues, with the champion of Western drama-Harry Carey-playing the role of the abused rancher, and he sure makes things rattle with the true old Western zip.
 The ninth chapter of The Great Gamble,' a ripping Sunshine Comedy and the latest issue of Pathe News are also on the program.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's a Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Apply
 With a Hair Brush

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-d date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A we'll known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

 Stock is the greatest school in the
 world, she thinks; and, although she
 hopes some day to play Broadway,
 nevertheless she feels her years in stock have been really great ones for
 her work. We asked her if she had
 ever done anything else and she said
 that aside from her musical comedy work and a season with Douglas fined her work to stock. It was while she was playing in Canada that she learned how to skate and this was added to the dancing. Of all of the exercises that she likes when she is not acting or rehearsing-and it tired she is-dancing is it. If she could dance for an hour after a days work, she would be happy. After so much mental strain in the enactment of a difficult role, she likes this much physical recreation. What is her comedienne or an em otionalist? She is the former; at least, she admitted that she liked to play comedy roles comedy, however, of the drawing room, comedy such as one would as- sociate with "Jawn' Drew or Grace George. Does she like motoring? We'll say so. Does she hate anything or anybody? Only two things-lemon pie and cats. Thus ends our interview.
