EOX'S THEATER


 Theda Bara in 'tThe Sirens Song and the third episode of "The Tigers Trail" are the attractions at F0x's tonight.
 Foxs will offer an unusual double feature program tomorrow evening, with Earle Williams, in "A Gentle man of Quality' and the Paramount Special production, '"The Rose of the Rancho" adapted from the famous play of the same name. In, "A Gentle man of Quality,' Earle Williams ap- pears in a dual role with mystery the predominating element of the plot Mr. Williams portrays John Ashton, who after a quarrel with his guardian in London, makes his way to New York. As he walks along the street he is clutched by a man obviously a servant, who addresses him as Lord Hertford and his master. Hardly knowing whether he or the servant is suffering from some mental alteration, he agrees to accompany the servant home. And he runs into a delicious mystery which rapidly un- folds itself. "A Gentleman of Qual- ity' is full of intense dramatic mo- ments and laughable incidents and is worked out to unusual climax. The Rose of the Rancho" is a dra- matic siX-reel play, of old Mexico and the Texan border, strong in action and with plenty of thrills and adven- ture.
 Monday brings a number of attrac- tjonS at EoX's. chief among these being he return of the New Britain favorite. George Walsh, in his latest Fox comedy, Help. Help. Police" This was written by Irving McDon- ald, former manager of Fox's, New Britain, and it is claimed by film critics to be the best Walsh picture since his famous Pride of New York" Help! Help Police,' is an amusing love story, involving both the parents of the young people and 1 the police. There are a merger of safety razor interests, a society crook and an abundance of thrilling action woven into the scenario and the pie ture is produced with the dash and abandon of a raiding expedition against the Huns. Tn Help. Help!
 Police." George Walsh. delights in doing some devil may. care, breath less stunts and then inviting his aud : fence to join with him in laughing l at the incident. Another of those 1 funny screen mOnologues, the latest 1 Pathe News, and a Keystone comedy, 1 complete the film program, Fox s 1 vaudeville will be headlined by the 1 famous jazz band of the 27th division. l the biggest soldier act in vaudeville 1 and reported also to be one of the 1 biggest hits in New Yorks theatrical i history. The 27th division jazz band | had the city of Londoners, all whist | ling after it's first concert in England's s
 capitol and the Parsians thought so 1 well of them that they gave a series of eight concerts in one week in the 1 famous city. The 27th division jazz
 band was the first to play for tho peace conference and were person 1 ally endorsed by Premier Clemencea1l 1 and President Wilson. Other vaudN~ l vile acts will complete the bill

For the table there is no more generous season than that which late May and June brings, rich in fruits and vegetables and crowning the year with it's variety and dclCacy of color and flavor of food.
 In fruits, June brings strawberries, cherries, Currants, early apples in fresh fruits, and good fresh pineap- ples in abundance. Prunes and rais- ins, our winter standbys, should not be wholly neglected for they contain valuable iron. For grown folks the meat allowance may be cut to a quarter of a pound a day, or even less, and the children need no meat at all. Each child should have at least one quart of milk day and one egg in some form, instead of meat.
 Here are menus for week in June:
 Sunday.
 Breakfast-Sliced fresh pineapple, fried cornmeal mush, honey, coffee Dinner-Rhubarb sherbet. hot boil ed ham with glazed carrots and on ions, creamed peas French endives, with French dressing and hard boiled egg, strawberry shortcake, coffee.
 Supper-PotatO and cucumber sal ad, brown bread sandwiches, cookies, iced tea
 Monday.
 Breakfast-Fresh apple sauce, cream of wheat with milk, toast, cOf- fee.
