LYRIC.

Music hath charms etc., but no one need be a savage to be charmed by the music in what comprises Oliver Morosco's famous musical comedy, So Long Letty,'' now being presented by the Poi Players at the Lyric the atre. twice daily. The music is de- Gghtful and the dances are both snappy and original. In addition to the regular company several vaude- vile artists assist in improving the production, making it one of the best seen at this popular playhouse since the advent Of 'Oh Boy,'' which scored so decided a hit.
 Miss Mary Ann Dentler shines brighter than ever. Her pleasing per sonality captured th2 audience imme- diately. and her rendition of the title role is the equal if not the superior of the original as portrayed by Char lotte Greenwood. Arthur Chatterdon as Henry Miller is at his best, as is Mabel Griffith, Florence Hill and Jack McGrath. Arthur Griffen is a scream when he appears in a bath ing suit as the life saver. Maxwell Driscoll has an unimportant part but Ihes assists wonderfully in making the production a suoeass. The ohaxaz~ i~

MINIATURE OF
 CONEY ISLAND
 NOW AT CASINO

A miniature Coney Island, Savin Rock and Walnut Beach combined, was placed on view at Casino when the Salvation Army opened it's ba- zaar. There was a large attendance and the many pretty Salvation Las sies did a thriving business in war souvenirs and other articles useful and ornamental
 The hall was pretti1y decorated with bunting, banners and flags and the lassies with their familiar cos tunes were very busy and successful in disposing of their goods and add ing many Q dollar and dime to their building fund.
 The booth containing souvenirs of France and it's Allies were one of the principal attractions and many genuine souvenirs were sold.
 Other booths contained: dolls, bas- kets of fruit, cartons of cigarettes, five pound packages of sugar, fancy work, blankets, statuettes, and toilet articles.
 There are many side shows con- taining freaks. A fortune teller is there who will disclose your future, for a contribution to the building fund, or you n-ay pick the winner of the pony race, if you are lucky.

MANUF LECTURERS
 SEND LETTER TO
 CONN.,. SENATORS

Hartford, Jan. 7-Action by the Executive Committee of the. Manu- facturers' Association of Connecticut commenting Senators Brandegee and Mclean for their action in sustaining the provisions of the Cummins rail- road bill intended to prevent railroad strikes was announced by B. Kent Hubbard, president, at the Association offices yesterday. MT. Hubbard made public the letters sent to the Con necticut Senator's and announced that scopies had also been sent to each Con necticut member of the House. with an expression of the hope that they also will support the Cummins pro- visions
 The letter sent to Senators Brande- gee and Mclean was as follows:
 ''The Executive Committee, of this association, at its meeting held Jan uary 3, requested me to inform you that your recent action in voting against the effort to eliminate from the Cummfns railroad bill the provi- sions regarding labor, has the hearty approval, we are sure, not only of the
 members of this association, but of the citizens of Connecticut generally. It seems to us beyond dispute that the public welfare absolutely requires that the people of the United States | be adequately protected against in terruption of railroad transportation by reason of labor disputes, whatever their character. It is to be hoped that the urgent necessities in the situ- ation will be as clearly recognized by the House of Representatives as it has been by a substantial majority of the Senate"

PARK

Comm encing Thursday matinee Al Reeves and his big Beauty Show will be on the program at the Park thea ire. It seems as if there is consid- erable activity displayed in making the Reeves week a most phenomen- al one, at least box office indications point to crowded houses throughout the engagement. Not only the popu- larity of Reeves himself, but also the fact that Harry Marks Stewart and Harry s. Le Van have been engaged as principal com medians, lends dou- ble value to the welI-arranged en- tertainment. There are also a great many others who will come to great est advantage in the happy farce which serves as vehicle for the ex- ploitation of the seven-act farce. The beautiful Ruth Hayward, direct from the Keith Circuit of Vaudeville Thea tres, where she has been a featured attraction for seven years; the dain- ty Ada Morse, sensational toe dancer; Florence Wilkfnson; the Darling Sis ters; your old pal, always welcome Al, with his twenty7four new beau ties, all from the farm; and as extra features the Big Four, Drury, Stan hope, Brown and Pickett, without a doubt the best quartette on the American stage, and Kathryn Pearl, the highest salaried prima donna in burlesque, will entertain on a lavish scale
 The chorus of the Reeves show is an attraction by itself, the girlies be- ing exceedingly pretty and their shapely forms will offer bewitching picture when they appear in the many poses, which serve to be living reproductions of famous paintings
 The new Reeves offering consists of seven-act farce, the locale for the particular scenes being 'sThe Gown Shop" Summing and "The Grand Ball Room in the Reeves Man sion." George M. Conan has given MT. Reeves permission to include his popular American Ragtime" and three musical numbers of his show. which will serve to add greatly to the attractiveness of this part of the per- formance.

Critics, c1ergymen, school teachers and other thousand of picture goers the world over have clamored for bet ter pictures and for stories that are clean, wholesome and simple. In Goldyn's new Mabel Normand's pro duction, "Jinx,'' their wishes have been fulfilled.

 In this production Tom Moore. is seen as the type of wooer that popu- lar opinion has named it's favorite His adventures in Cupid's realm are frequent and merry, and just spicy enough to bring out the humo ous side of his entanglements when his several sweethearts are brought to- gether.
 The action of the picture is quick and spirited, and so well does the star enact his part that sympathy swings wholly to Lord Quez when he gets into difficulties He has ar agonizing time trying to prove his sincerity and reformation to his prom iSoi hri6o in hn fa of ing circumstances, but his efforts are rewarded and all ends happily
 Supporting MT. Moore in ''The Gay Lord Quex'' are such favorites as Gloria Hope, Naomi Childers and Hazel Daly and Sidney Ainsworth

 The idea was immediately taken up by a number of her friends and now it looks as though there will be a rage of fur toques in the theatri- cal circle where she travels. Old muffs are being renovated, and re- vamped for purposes of head gear, and strange as it may seem, the girls are proving to be apt furriers.

 With the combination of Geraldine Farrar, in Flame of the Desert and the noted musicians, the program at Polls for the last day of the present bill is an exceptional one. In addition there are four remarkably clever vaudeville acts and a very funny comedy, Up In Ah's Place.
