F'OX'S VAUDEVILLE IS
 PLEASING, PICTURE TOO

The vaudeville arranged by the management at FoX's the last half of the week is proving quite entertain ing to the patrons and the feature act. Harry Brooks and company, in a comedy sketch entitled "The Minstrel Show" is aslaugh provoker of the first water. Harrison and Wells have a syncopated song and dance number that is jazzy and full of pep, while Muller and Kramer are a couple of comedy singers and takers. Leland CT and Milo, Milo being a monkey of some merit, round out the program, while the big picture, "Reputation," thoroughly satisfies the ost discrimin- ating movie fan. The Fox News, Mutt and Jeff and a comedy reel fill in well.
 Than Reputation" Priscilla Dean never had a better vehicle in which to show her ability as an actress of both the emotional and sentimental type. Playing the role of mother and daughter, she changes her characteri- Zaton with ffnnesse and portrays each role as it was intended.

 Thin sandwiches made of brown bread and. butter make a most ac- ceptable accompaniment to aspara- gus salad. The salad itself is so delictely favored that a highly sea- soned cheese accompaniment would kill the salad.

AUTHOR OF "POLLYANNA"
 RELATES ANECDOTE. Glad Girl'' Story By the Lorne FL

wyn Players. Mrs. Eleanor H. Porter, upon whose Glad stories was based the popular "Pollyanna," which will be ! presented at the Lyceum theater ! next week with Katherine Bauer in the title role, recently related a very I interesting. anecdote, when she was called upon to make an address upon what the character of Polly Sanna had done for people. She primarily apologized for not I being able to make an address, pro- i testing modestly that when she had l anything to say. or rather when she l thought she had anything to say : which is quite another matter some | times-she usually put it on paper ! and attempted to find some publisher | rash enough to print it. However, her | little talk divulged the fact that "Pollyanna' had a great deal to an
 swer for. especially as to the con- tents of missionary barrels. For instancA," she said, "A friend of mine i'm Massach usetts has told
 me that a lady of her church, wealthy yet somewhat miserly and not at all literary. called her up on the tele=

 time over any book that is not any good
 She was assured that the story was harmless and might even be read with some pleasure. A week later.
 the ladies of the church were packing missionary barrel. when to their great surprise. there appeared the wealthy lady (who never gave any thing) bringing a purple velvet bon net as her donation.
 "T just couldn't help it. she an- nounced. when I think of that poor 'Pollyanna' with those awful things
 to wear. just have to. It is a per fectly good bonnet. It's my second best
 "So you see what Pollyanna is responsible for in that case. T have hoped since hearing the story, that purple was becoming to the complexion of that minister's wife.
 But all of this, of course, is mere ly froth and bubble. Away down deep in my heart is a very great joy and a more great wonder-that this little Glad Girl in book and drama and in pictures. should have found so many young and old-rich and poor-admirers."
 The I.orne Elwyn Players have for
 their summer engagement at the Lyceum, such favorite stock per formers as Clarence R. Chase, Miss
 Flora Frost, and Miss Emily Fuller, direct from a Broadway production, closing last week. and the lovers of the spoken drama can be assured of the best that can be had for New Britain.

 He looked at me astounded. I re- gained my poise, casting about wildly in my mind for a suita ble apology.

 The sound of gay voices approach ing us made me look up quickly Dieky and Miss Foster were coming toward us. They must have strolled but the shortest possible distance be- fore returning. I found myself won dering whether it were Dicky or the girl who had suggested the return.
