‘when dipped ‘chopped candied -treated upon whole family of summer parel in the | THE HILLS” AT POLI'S Thousands and thousands of people read the popular novel, “Thé Shep- herd of the Hills,’ when it was first presented to the public and the same interest was manifested in the dramatization when it was first pro- dyced. It is with pardonable pride, therefore, that the management of Poli’s Hartford theater announces “The Shepherd of the Hills” as the week’s attraction in which the Poli Players will appear. This mountain story will give Dudley Ayrés, who has fairly leaped into popular faver, an ex- ! cellent ' opportunity.to present a role for . which he is admirably equipped. Possessing, the qualities which made the leading role ar appealing and sym- pathetic one, -he is regsonably sure to offer a fine presentation of the unique character. Mr. Ayres has hecome pop- ular with the theatergoers of Hartford as was predicted when it was first an- nounced. that. he was to assume the leads of the Players. In “In Wyoming" in which the Players appeal all next week, opening August 9, Mr. Ayres will bhave one of the roles in which he is declared to be at his best. Miss Skirvin, too, is well suited to her abil- ity and her hundreds of admirers will doubtless be pleaséd tosee her so well cast. The other favorites will play strong dramatic roles, the entire list of speaking parts calling for an un- usual amount of work and thus pre- .senting them all in prominent char- acters. The play will be suitably mounted and staged and under the stage] direction of Hal Briggs is sure to be properly presented. Seats for the week are on sale. . ANITA STEWART IN “THE GODDESS“—FOX’S This is acting—to swing from the wild passions of primitive, animal in- stincts to the'chiidish innocence and pathetic quaintness of a simple, un- sophistichtde mind; from the majetic mien of the princess of power to the pleafing loveliness of the rasged, beggar lady of the plains. This is Anita Stewart in “The Goddess,” ‘the serial beautiful which is seen 4t Fox's every Monday and Tuesday: Today ushers in the second episode of this most remarkable serial motion pic- ture story that has captivated mil- lions of theatergoers throughout the country, and judging from the com- mernt heard about town it has jumped into immediate favor with the New | Britain theatergoers since the showing of the opening episode last Monday and Tuesday. If you are not follow- ing “The Goddess” you are missing a treat of your life. Join the army every Monday and Tuesday, follow them to Fox's and see Anita Stewart—Celestia __“Goddess’—in her myriad personal- ity, with the smooth, sweeping ges with the saintly beauty that makes Celestia so truly the Goddess in form, { manner and very individuality. Every Monday and Tuesday is double attrac- tion-day at this popular resort, being a program full ~of entertaining fea- tures. Besides the second episode of “The Goddess” the Shuberts present Clara Kimball Young, the interna- tional favorite in “Marrying Money,” based upon the stage play of the same title, and a better_vehicle for the ex- ploitation of the mirth-provoking “talents of this young star could scarce- 1y be found. There ig something pecu- larly infectious about Miss Young’s smile, and you will énjoy every bit ‘of the complications and humorous mis- understandings that arise in the course of the story. 'The heroine is shown as a_create of volatile moods, coquettish and resourceful, and the dainty Clara ‘makes her a very lifelike and attrac- tive creation.. The Pathe News with ‘its current events and another comedy will augment the exceéllent offering for today and tomorrow. European Women May Learn Lesson From Daughters of Our “Dixieland” Grandniece of General Lee Says Real Settlement of World War Depends Upon Democracy of Fe- A ¥ e Haur, war willt in mi 4§ was the Améj New York | after the e position a valyable lesson to do.” For it was the Southern wom- an who ‘made xgconstruction in her beriddled land so difficult; it was they who held fast to Southern tradition, who 'clung to aristocracy, who pre-| served rancor and hatred and blocked democracy, new life and progress. Men and commerce {n the South were democratic, but their wives and then homes were entirely opposed to the aew order.” This ig the opinion of Miss Beity Lee, grandniece of General Robert E. Lee, cousia of the oratorical Patrick Henry and, according to her state- ment, “Southern to the backbone and completely Northernized.” By way of a living she is a professional en- tertainer among smart people and ‘headed for the musical comedy stage ~—not the indolent, éver-engaged Southern girl of yesterday. Reconstruction Period. “Yes,” she repeated, ‘“the Southern ‘women are responsible for just that slowness and hopelessness in the up- building of the South that has been closé on to failure ao often. But, oh, they are changing vastly now. This 1y the reconstruction period ' for'. the Southern woman. And yvet she hasn't been commercialized. ‘“Her men have worshipped her.

But they often don't get it, for Southern men have the idea that women are a thing apart from ordinary life, and they treat them ac- | cordingly, talking about. the moon and eyes and things like that.” i “Are the Southern men so able to influence their women that they can talk about the moon no matter how | much the ladies may hate lunar con- versation ?” Man Rules House, ‘“Indeed, yes. The Southern man rules the house. Believe me, he does,” repeated Betty Lee with emphasis. “And, you see, he’s more capable ‘o than his wife would be. He knows how to deal with. sityations better than she does, because—well becausc he deals with them, I suppose. But Ishe. as I say, must just be sweet and seréne. At least, she uséd to be sweet and serene; now she's up and doing a great deal more. 4 “The Northern girl thinks she can’t learn anything from the girl in the South, though she admits that the Southern girl can glean all sorts -of pointers from her. But if the girl up here would just acquire somé of the Southern girl’s gentleness and refine- ment and beautiful courtesy she would gain a lot. If I had a daughter, she must be a beautiful doll. Suffrage Working Miracles. “But the hew Southern girl has tak- en her place, the girl who is coming North to school, who spends her suin- mers campaigning for suffrage, who enters business and professins in coid, heartless New York. But really, the woman’s clubs are dolng wonders down South; suffrage is working mir- acles. The girls are seeing that new life and activity are worth more than all their aristocratic society and ola families put together. They are see~ ing that red blood is quite more fun than blue blood.” She gigled softly. ear me, though, how horrified 1s the generation of managing mammas. I, tor instance, a stagey person—hor- tors!

I'd like to sleep and lie in the hammock and read and wéar my old clothes, and not have to put myself out to talk tb any one if 1 didn’t want to.” “Well, you're a strang girl. When I was your age, 1 would have beén delighted to go and spend the day with my cousins.” “When you were my age, you weren’'t working in an office.” “I was helping my mother with housework for a family of eight, and I was mighty glad when I could get a rest like that.” The girl shrugged her shoulders wearily and weént back to her maga- zime. Théy hdd come to an impasse, that mother and deughter, an im- passe they had often faced before, an impésse made up of inability on the part of each to comprehend the other’s viewpoint. . A Visit The Ideal Recrcation To The Mother. The mother, weary of the round of housework and the monotony of four walls, looked upon a visit where one's eyes would meet with different surroundings and one would eat someone else’s cooking and talk with be- loved relations as a wanderful rest. The daughter, mentailly and physically jaded, from strenuous days at the office, looked upon a visit with the inevitable exdctions of visiting the smiles, the interest in other people’s affairs, the accommodating of ong's self to other people’s hours, the obligatory enjoyment of other people's pleasures, the meeting of new people, as sométhing requiring an intensely abharrent effort. % Only someone who has had both experiences can sympathize with both. Husbands And Wives Also Have This Difficulty. 3 It is this same impasse on either side of which husbands and wi often stand—the monotony-wearied wife wondering why the hi doesn’t want to go out somewhere, and the over-tired husband wonderifg why his wife isn’'t content to rest in the peace and freedom of home. That i8 one way in which the oman who has worked makes the ter wifé. She can understand her husband's lofiging for camplete rel tion as the women who has not had that experience never can. Of course, it is not right for thé office worker to slump down completely. Sometimes the effort to meet people and get a change scene and thought brings its own reward of ultimate restedress. But, the other hand her mental weariness, her shrinking from the exactions of society should be respected by those whose own tasks and state of m are différent. 4 WE GIVE ROYAL GOLD TRABING STAMPS——ASK FOR THEM . .’AN;NUAL MIDSUMMER - SALE | = SPINACH a I Solid Packed Cans.
