DAUGHTERS OF RICH," LYCEUsf

Daughters of the Rich,"T now showing at the Lyceum theater, is one of the most lavishly staged film dramas ever brought to this city and as a drama it even surpasses Rich Mems Wives" and Poor Mems Wives" to both of which 1t is a sequel. The story is replete with melodramatic action of the higher class. Intriguing characters lead to Russia, France and the Orient, pro- viding scenes of unusual beauty, gor- geous costuming and thriling action. Not only is this picture filled with ac- ton, but also it's human appeal offers to all classes high grade entertain ment. -...
 For the first three days of next week Mary of the Movies" Is to be shown. This is a startling and realis- tic expose of life at Hollywood, the motion picture center of the world and in various parts more than 40 stars of filmdom take part. The plot revolves around Mary, the little country grill. who goes to Hollywood to seek fame and fortuneNin the mov- ies. How she succeeds, after many trials. tribulations and temptations, and what she finds at the end of her rainbow makes a charming story.

The Way Mother Graham Planned
 Her Campaign

 Check and mate. l made the men, { tai comment gleefully at the bewil- dered and defeated look which came into my mother-in-law's eyes at Ma z mics" quiet dictum, My mother says if people don't like my name I must come home"
 That her mother had said nothing of the kind I was very sure. But l was also certain that the maternal-- and d-paternal instructions had been .to seize any plausible opportunity to get away without our suspecting their reluctance to have any member Of their family away from home at this particular time. And the girl, with { feline qnickness, had seized upon { Mother Graham's sighting reference to the English diminutive she had ac- squired, as convenient pretext for going home
 I knew there was but one thing which prevented my irascible moth er-in-law from dismissing the girl with promptness and hauteur, This was the necessityr,to her mind--of house cleaning before the arrival of IlB JbTd1lHWdittSse1ETHt llrUuti t'N'y possible pair of hands. and the Knowledge compelled her tongue to partial acquiescence.

 Mother Graham is Vexed 8sa There Is something about my moth- er-in-law, when she is in lofty mood, calculated to aue1l the most recalci- trant person. But I do not think the girl from across the road was in the least overawed by her. She stood perfectly still for a long minute after listening to Mother Graham's direc- tions, palpably weighing the compara- tive merits of going or staying. Final ly, with d little shrug, she turned to Mrs. Ticer.
 All right, I'll go with you" she said, and I wondered if I had imag- ined a faint stressing of the pro- snoun.
 Mother Graham answered my men, tal question in the affirmative as soon as the door closed after Mrs. Ticer and the sullen Mamie.
 "Dif you hear the impudence of that animal?" she demanded, with look at Katherine and me, which called for instant agreement. II had all could do to keep from boxing her ears and sending her home.

When Mir Bear reached home without his son. Mrs. Bear was amazed.
 Why Ephraina." she cried. What brings you back? And where's Cuff fy? Have you left him alone in the woods?"
 Now, don't worry about Cuffy,' '' said Mir. Bear. Hes in a safe place. He won't stray off. l know just where to find him. I've come to get his sister and take her into the woods too. The child ought to be learning things, like her brother. I'm going to teach her while I'm teaching him"
 That will be fine, Ephraim!" Mrs. Bear exclaimed I'm glad to see that you are taking such an interest in our youngsters at last. It has seemed to me that you left me to do everything for them. But l see that I have been mistaken. No doubt you have meant to do your share in bringing them up. Frob- ably you didn't realize that they were old enough to begin to be taught woodcrsft"
 That's it." said Mir. Bear. That's exactly it. Today l intend 10 give them a lesson in rabbit hunting"

 Both she and Mrs. Ellington were rushed by Stanely Roberts to the Flower Hospital a few moments after he found them.
 Mrs. Ellington regafned conscious ness in about an hour. She said they were motoring at a moderate speed for pleasure when something broke and Mrs. Prescott lost control of the car.
 Both women were paralyzed with fright and neither had time to say anything, reported Mrs. Ellington, before the car catapulted down a slight emhankment and into a tele- graph pole.
 Mrs. Ellington knew nothing more until she awoke in the Flower Hos pitaI. Mrs. Prescott has not yet re- covered consciousness.
 Both women are among the most popular in the smart set Of Albany. Mrs. Prescott came here bride a few months ago and she has already made many friends.

PALACE THEATER.

Mary Miles Winters. latest Para mount picture, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" was given its open ing showings at the Palace theater last evening. The picture is clean. wholesome entertainment from start to finish. The story is laid in the Kentucky and Tennessee mountains and deals with family feud.
 The hit of the vaudeville show is Montana, attired in pure white cow boy rig, and he offers banjo playing the like of which has never been heard here before. Darling and West were well received yesterday with their comedy talk and songs; Saxon and Griffin gathered many laughs and plenty of applause with their excellent singing and comedy skit, and Morrell's Dogs show re- markable training and intelligence.

POLL PLAYERS FEATURE
 IN A LAUGHABLE FARCE
Frank ofcHugli, As souse, and Frances Williams as a Boob" Maid
 Carry Co. to Another Success.

SeSAsJ w so tAhAONASA eN-~S~AN1' (By The Herald ReviewerJ.
 If there are parts that stand out above others as difficult ones to por- tray without over-d doing them, in farce or comedy drama, they are those of a .'boob'' character and a drunk, yet the Poli Players at the Palace in Hartford this week handle these difficult parts in a way that is excruciatingly funny, yet never over done. Frank McHugh, the popular juvenile. carries off the honors as Jack Reynolds, youthful son of the idle rich who always has a little jag on. He plays his part most con- vincingly and gets the most out of every comedy line without going bit too far. Victoria Montgomery, as Aunt Mathilda. very prim and proper but who is induced to take a little drink and thereby gets little bun on'' handles her part with delicate humor and acts with skill. The boob" part is played by Frances Williams who is Lily, hotel maid, certainly looks the part of "nobody home and succeeds in acting it, to the amusement of the audience. Without these three characters the play, "The Unkissed Bride" would fall flat. With them, it is a scream ing farce that can be recommended to any who seek light but entertain ing amusement.
 The story concerns one Fred For rest, a young speculator, played by Arthur Howard. who goes broke just as he is about to wed. In order to make his uncle. played by Harold Kennedy, believe that he is married and entitled to $100,000 check promised as wedding present, he induces a pretty young stenographer to pose as his fiancee and go through fake wedding ceremony. Of course his pal, Jack Reynolds, gets drunk and mixes things up to such an ex- tent that instead of fake minister he sends a real one and the couple actually are married, though they do not find it out until they come to the conclusion that they really were made for each other. The intermediate scenes are a riot of fun and the repartee is a scream, while the antics of the actors and actresses, especially in the very proper bedroom scene, are certainly laugh provoking. AS the little stenographer Mary Ann Dent Ter is certainly charming and as a calculating vampire, Ruth Thomas, the pretty little blonde member of the cast who this week appears as bru- nette, is all to the good, Edwin Vail, the director, has a minor role of the clergyman and Jay Ray is a police office who eventually wins the "un- kissed bride" who. strange to say, is none other than the boob maid, Lily. William Blake, the Company's heavy" has a small part but does it in his usual finished way. All in | all, the show this week is one of the best summer plays yet presented, | light enough not to strain the mind l and funny enough to amuse. It | should prove 9 good drawing card. Next week tho company presents | The Girl in the Limousine
