FAREWELL WEEK AT LYCETM.

.
 Today begins farewell week at the l.yceum, that is for the vaudeville part of the program. The vaudeville bill selected for the first half of the week will consist of five big Keith star acts, all directly from the Keith circuit and each one positively guar anteed to make a Init with patrons
 The star act will be the greatest
 risley act in vaudeville presented by the Seven Bracks. This act has
 played every big time house in the
 country and promises to become the
 talk of New Britain. Without a
 doubt this offering will prove to be one of the best acts that anyone in New Britain ever saw or ever will see. The other acts include Harry Goulson, the comedy man who keeps 1 audiences in a continual howl from his entrance the stage until he ! makes his exit; Grindel and Esther, l a clever comedy team, Burke and 1 Betty, another comedy couple that ] do nothing but. entertain and also l The Eduards in a comedy shadow graph act.
 To balance this great vaudeville | bill the Lyceum is presenting as the l feature picture, Cecil E. De Miles , new picture, Don't Change Your Husband". Jeanie Macpherson is the l author and she has woven a tale of 1 really beautiful character, and into 1 the warp and wool has introduced | thread of Oriental mysticism that is 1 distinctly bizarre and at the same 1 time effective. That it isn't good l idea to change husbands without 1 genuine consideration, which cannot l be a thing of a moment, is. the ad- | vice of the picture. Gloria Swanson 1 is the leading feminine figure and her | work is said to be exquisite, while l she is certainly one of the most 1 beautiful women on the screen to- 1 day. Elliott Dexter and Lewis Cody
 play the leading male roles and do ] so with real artistry. For a picture 1 out of the ordinary in every respect, | Don't Change Your Husband' can 1 be strongly recommended.

role of Kent Hollis, a young man from the east. When he arrives in the west the bad element make the mistake of taking him for a tenderfOOt and try out all the old tricks on him. Much to their surprise and chagrin, how ever, Kent proves wise to every one of the gags and before he is through with them he has> shown a, trick or two ot ms own that fairly StartleS them out of their several skins. Kents task Tn the west proves difficult
 Among other things he has to fight the cattle rustlers who caused the death of his father, wage war on those who would stop him from publishing the truth in his newspaper and pro- tect the girl from the advances of the chief villain. Quite a big assignment for one man, but safe to say that Kent acqults himself with great glory before The Coming of the Law is hnlShed Tom Mix's riding never has been eQualled on the screen. He does usual things in an unusual way and in addition is always doing unusual things that bring a thrill and hearty applause. No other actor has had the nerve to enact his western stunts.

jumping from one cliff to another on horseback, diving through roofs etc always risking the bones of both him self and his mount. Another Sunshine comedy is also offered on today's bill. It is called a Lady Bell Hops Se cret' and is fully as funny as "The House of Terrible Scandals" which proved such a laugh provoker on last weeks bill. The story is that of a girl who works as a bell hop in a ho- tel. Her sweetheart has knowledge of the location of six million dollars in gold hidden in a sand pit. The gold is recovered by the villain, who escapes in an airplane and drops from the parachute into an open cage of lions. From then on the action travels at mile a minute gait. The latest Pathe News and the Screen Monolcg and four acts of Fox vaudeville complete the show.
