Interesting in every detail is Frederick Lonsdale's comedy in three acts, "The Last of Mrs. Chey- ney," with Ina Claire which began a three day engagement at Parsons theater, Hartford, last evening. AL though it is classified as a "crook play" there are no thugs, no shoot ing, no blood spilled. The mere thought of blood in such correct English homes such as are shown would be abhorrent. It wouldn't do at all, y know-that's the kind of a. play it is.
 The cast Is excellent In it's support of Miss Claire. It achieves the ideal of serious stage folks by effecting a complete illusion in the minds of the audience-making it believe that it is actually gazing upon life as it is instead of scenes created on a stage.
 "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" is re- plete with droll witticisms. smart repartee and epigrams. The con- versation is sometimes frank but never descends to vulgarity. It tells the story of crooks who have en- meshed q society group only to be exposed before they attain their end.
 Miss Claire carries off the honors as Mrs. Cheyney" Roland Young provides clever characterization of Sir Arthur Dilling," a sophisticated bachelor. notorious chiefly for his conquests among the fair sex. James Dale is the perfect butler, although when he is not in uniform he is one of Scotland Yards most elusive enemies. Lionel Pape and Herbert Funston are two characters without which no English comedy would be complete-each in his own field is a thoroughgoing blunderer. Con- stance Pelissier and Winifred Har- ris are at home In the roles of wom- en of high social standing. In fact the entire cast is distinguished by it's perfection.
 The play is staged by Winchell smith and the setting by James Reynolds are worthy of mention.
 The audience last night was the largest of the seasons first perform ances and was generous in its ap- preciation of the talent of the actors.
 The Last of Mrs. Cheyney" will be shown tonight, tomorrow matinee and tomorrow night.

THE SENSITIVE CHILD

One thing that most people do to
the representative child is to make
him more sensitive. Some children are
naturally sensitive thru sickness or
because of some physical deformity.
David, who was somewhat frail,
was one of a family having three
other boys, all very strong. David's
mother wanted little girl and so
she proceeded to make one of David.
She bought him little pink slippers
instead of shoes, in defiance of the
fact that he lived in the country; pro-
hibited him from going anywhere
alone and cautioned him so much that
he became afraid of horses, cows and
dogs; and she continued calling him
names even after he started to school.
He was so babied by his probably
well-meaning mother and SO leased
by his brothers that he grew super
sensitive and very unlike the other
boys. He became self-conscious when
looked at or spoken to and was frail
and thin from too much confinement
in the house. His mother should have
allowed him to "run" as she did her
other boys and then David would have
been as normal and healthy a lad as
each of them turned out to be-,
I knew another child, Donald, who
grew quiet and unconfding when with

ago. They did not intend to be un-
kind, but they did discourage any at
tempt at conversation that he offered
so that he finally came to the table,
gulped down his food, asked to be
excused and fastened away to play
with outside companions. Donald is
grown up now but he still has the
habit of eating dinner, at home prac-
tically in silence; when he goes out,
he proves excellent company. Every
member of family should have his

THE CHRISTIAN REVIVAL,

The meetings started with a fair
sized audience last Sunday evening.
The sermon was about "The Crazy
jew" The evangelist said that the
Jews did the craziest thing any peo-
pie ever did. when they said to Plate
when he desired to release Jesus:
Let His (Jesus) blood be upon us
and our children for ever" The speak
er said God certainly granted in full,
that request of the Jews and in his
wrath He scattered them to the four
corners OF the earth and made them
a hiss and a by-word.
There were three persons who re-
sponded to the invitation of the
evangelist to those who wished to
come forward and take fellowship
with the church.
Tuesday the sermon theme was
Gods Monuments" An outline upon
the blackboard had been prepared bv
the preacher in which the various ag-
es and their monuments were dis
cribed.
1t is surprising to see how quickly
the children are learning the books
of the Bible. The evangelist is Of
fering prize to the child that can
say them in the shortest length of !!
time. It's sport to hear the chaps con-
test. Many interesting questions. such
as what is the Second Death ."
"Will Unbaptized Children be Saved"
what is the objectionable SIM"
etc. have been put in the question
box.
The revival will continue all next
week. The sermon theme for Friday
night viii be "No Room but a Stable"
Sunday evening another blackboard
sermon will be given, the subject
to be DESTINY" During this sermon
the speaker promises to tell the adj
vantages of child born of Christian
over child born of unbe-
levers. Also the story of the man
who died at. the church door.

DALLAS NIGHT WATCHMEN
MUST FOLLOW NOSES"
Trained to Smell Out Fires and
Watch for Stoves and Lights
Left Burning.
By the Associat.d Pres.

By the Associated Press
DALLAS, Tex, January 27-The
nose of the night Waterman knows its
business. Guardians of the night in
Dallas have become such proficient
"sniffers" that an educated nose is a
prerequisite for their job.
In brief period they "smelled out"
ana prevented numerous fires from
gas stoves left burning by careless
cooks, crossed wires, burning cigar
stubs and smoldering rubbish
A woman has been responsible for
much OF this training. Mrs. George
A. Smith, who aids her husband In
the management of an extensive night
Waterman service, imbued the hun.
dred nocturnal guardians employed by
the company with the idea of follow
ing their noses"
These men go forth into the night
passing like shadows through the
dark alleys, peering into hidden hooks
"noslng' about where thief or fire
may be lying in wait TO steal a mans
life or his property. Walking into a
building from the fresh air, they are
quick TO detect smoke.
The Watchmen keep alert: especially
| Tor restaurant gas stoves left lighted
! by thoughtless cooks. Laundry chutes
OF hotels cause many fires. The
watchman's nose Is particularly train
ed to catch the odor Of burning insu.
lation from crossed wires. Electric
motors left running in factories are
another menace.
