It makes a wonderful photo-play and it was favorably received by a large crowd last evening. The romance is de- picted in most interesting fashion on the screen. It was acted before the camera by a splendid company, headed by Alice Dovey, the popular comedienne. Three vaudeville acts that are up to the minute are also among the the Keeney attractions this week. Jack Lenox and Marie Stewart give an en- tertainment that is above the ordinary. They are banjoists of uncommon skill and they offer a repertoire that is diversified and most pleasing. The Tadescas do a number of stunts on bicycles that are new to local theater goes. The comedy features of their act are also bright and entertaining. Character songs form the the princi- pal feature of the popular specialty in which the Emanon trio appears. The New Britain engagement of the acts will close tonight, For Monday, the management an- nounces “Wildflower,” with Mar- guerite Clark as the feature of the Keeneyscope program. Wednesday and Thursday, Fritzie Scheff will be seen in “Pretty Mrs. Smith” and Fri- day and Saturday John Barrymore will again be the, principal attraction. He will appear in the part of “The Man from Mexico.” “AN ALIEN,” A BIG HIT AT FOX'S George Beban, the character actor, last night appeared at Fox’s and achieved an unqualified success. The vehicle is an adaptation of his popular vaudeville sketch, “The Sign of the Rose,” under the name of “An Alein,” which deals "with the misfortunes of an Italian whose only child has been killed by an auto and when he goes to buy a rose to place upon her grave is charged with the kidnapping of the daughter of the man whose auto plunged him into grief. . Mr. Baban’'s characterization was naturally simple and appealing, the film scene in the tenement between the Italian and his daughter being ex- tremely well done, and the sobs heard in-the audienee bore eloguent testi- \mony to the'effective manner in which the play was acted. The star is ably supported by Blanche Schwed, as Rosa; Thelma Salter, as Dorothy, with the balance of the cast made up of Edward Gillespie, Andrea Lynee and Edith McBride. The program consisted of two parts and an intermission, during which time Ernest F. Jores, the theater or- ganist, and John Crean, pianist, ren- dered a selection from “Sari,” playing together in a most. delightful manner. Then Miss Bertha Weber, vaudeville's young find, rendered some vocal se- lections, among them being “Garden of My Heart,” ““A Little Love a Little Kiss” and a popular melody that was a real treat. Miss Weber has an ex- cellent future before her and it will not be very long before her voice bring her before a metropolitan audi- ence. During the action of the play, which is replete with many wonderful scenes, the most noteworthy of them being a Santa Claus scene, Mr. Jores rendered a Christmas carole written by a local composer, Elise Traut. . #An Alien” will be repeated this evening at 6 and at 9 p. m, and to- morrow night at 8 p. m., and New Britain theatergoers will do well not to miss this treat in motion pictures. “THE CALLING OF DAN MATTHEWS” AT POLI'S The Sunday evening benefit concert at Poli’s theater is featured by the appearance of ‘‘S8hore Acres,” James A. Hearn’s wel known play which has been-one of the most popular stage plays ever presented in this country. There will also be a Charley Chaplin feature on the program, and many other single reel comedies and dramas. A silver collection will be taken at the door, the proceeds to be devoted to local charitable work. Next Week the players will be seen in the companion play of ‘“The Shep- herd of the Hills,” entitled “The Call- ing of Dan Matthews,”” a production based on the book by Harold Bell ‘Wright. pleased with the production of “The Shepherd of the Hills.” Dan Matthews is the central character of the play next week. This role will be taken by Dudley Ayres, who makes his final appearance with the Poli Players next week. Mr. Ayres scored a hit in the leading role of ““The Shepherd of the Hills” Inasmuch as his role is similar in "“The Calling of Dan Matthews,” his admirers may anticipate another sterling characterization. The man- agement considers itself fortunate in being able to secure the play for pres- entation so soon after its companion play, Next Tuesday afternoon there will be a get-acquainted matinee, aa which Mr. Ayres will be present to meet the patrons of the theater- On Monday, August 23, Harry Hollingsworth will return from his vacation and the fol- lowing day he will be present at the 1 get-acquainted matinee, Poli patrons were immensely (A. R. R. in New York Tribune.) In our own families there's gener- ally a lot of undisposed-of treasury stock that ought to be “divided” up, but which is too often scattered, wast- ed or allowed to evaporate mno one knows how. Unused, untouched, un- observed, it has accumulated during the years, instead of disappearing gradually as we had expected. Those who should have applied for a block ; haven't thought of it, or have been sat- isfied with what they had, or, worst of all, have been aching for it secretly and haven’t plucked up courage to ask for it. Old Bob’s Story. 0ld Bob was talking to me about it the other night. We were both smok- ing away in his cozy little den in his cozy little home. I knew him in the office as a quiet, taciturn, very digni- fied chap. That's why all the fellows call him Old Bob, because he isn’t really old—not more than forty-five at tie outside. I'd been quite astonished to see what an affectionate cuss he was in his own home—excessively so, and I had been joshing him pleasantly about it. He was quite serious for a couple of minutes and smoked up to cover his embarrassment. A Passe Bachelor. “I guess T'll tell you a story about that,” he began. ‘“Not because it's a .wildly exciting tale, but because I'd like you and every young man I know to avoid my mistake or experience. You know, I didn’t marry until I was thirty-eight. Every mother’s daugh- ter had given me up as hopeless, and I ‘was getting to the point where I'd be invited as a third. It didn’t much matter if I was an extra man at some informal function; or they would pair me off with the elderly widows or passe damsels, and I was the bachelor uncle of more kiddies than I could re- member. ‘“One day my sister Edith uncon- sciously let the reason for it all slip out. ‘You're such a dear Old Bobs,” she said to me pleasantly from her comfortable armchair across the room. I had agreed to take on my shoulders the burden of entertaining her visit- ing young sister-in-law whose fiance had been unable to come down for the | week-end. ‘There’s nobody else I could trust, but every one knows that you wouldn't flirt with the most heavenly girl that ever walked. No man would ever be jealous of you.’ Jarred at Last! ““Somehow that got on my nerves. Here I was, almost thirty-eight, decent i enough to look at, fairly intelligent, and I was already labelled as a man | safe enough for an engaged girl to play with. They all had me down as the kind of nice old bachelor who brought little nephews toys and petted the little girls but wouldn’t kiss a young lady on a bet. “The worst of it was that i partly true. I was known as blooded’ and ‘undemonstrative’ ever { since I could remember. The real | truth, however, was that I was and , {am the most affectionate sort of in- | dividual anybody could want. But we i children had been ‘brought up in a | cool, sensible New England home. We it was ‘cold Will | never kissed each other except when i we were about to depart on a long ! journey. We never called each other ! affectionate names unless we were | { very sick and dissolution seemed im- | minent! Of course, visiting relatives | from far off were affectionately fussed i over, and I remember I overheard my | mother speaking affectionately to a i small nephew. But though I often | yearned to say an affectionate word to mother, or kiss and caress her, I | couldn’t. She might think I planned going away, or that I was not quite { well, or I gave myself some excuse, 1 although T realize today that perhaps | she was aching for demonstrations of affection as much as I was. Love Accumulates. “You'd think that repression | through years and years would crush emotions like that. But it doesn’t. It simply accumulates, and grows even if buried under a mountain of other in- terests and responsibilities. At thirty eight I realized that here I wit | what I called a large block of undi posed of treasury stock of affections that ought to be properly outstanding. My sister Edith’s words that day were like an explosion, which sent my placid acceptance of myself and things fly- ing, and showed me the light. I d termined to kick my old prejudices and traditions overboard, late though it was, and great as the effort might be.” | 0ld Bob smoked thoughtfully for a while and grinned. “I didn't waste a day after I made up my mind. That | engaged sister-in-law of Edith's looked as good to me as any girl I knew. I used all of the romantic ammunition I had ever heard about, but never had the nerve to use. In two months she agreed with me that she had never loved the man she was engaged to, and decided she ought to mary me. And we've lived happily ever after, and my | wife thinks I'm more demonstratively affectionate than any man she ever saw! - Evil of Repression. { “What gets me nowadays is that I know many men of forty or so—some married, some not—who are in exactly the same position I was in. They were raised in a home where: everybody helped each other and thought the world of each other, but would have died before they could have been af- fectionate in everyday life. Or some of the married men have sensible, practical wives who think that mar- | and clean. i is too good to throw away. | They claim that only half as much riage is the end of romance and that | flirtiness and demonstraticns of afféc- Demonstrate Your Love and Let It Bloom; Aloofness Proves Losing Game at End |- Affection Is a Treasury Stock That Needs to Be Invested to Earn Worthwhile Dividends — Witness One Man’s Experience. tion are silly between married people With children. You see, women ex- press their affectionate emotions to and through their children every sin- gle day. Men don’t have that chance, | and we're just as keen for affection at forty as at twenty—sometimes more | 80, because in earlier years we've been too occupied with business cares to keep up the Young Lochinvar-Romeo- | King Arthur effect at home. Lots of | times it's a man’s own fault that he has a lot of love treasury stock undis- | poed of when he’s forty, but that doesn’t alter the hurt of it when he finds it out. Sometimes he blames his wife, if he’s married; and you hear of a divorce and a remarriage to a sweet young thing half his age, who's as playful as a kitten and hasn’'t an idea in her head. That's the way some men try to make up for their loss. “But there’s only one right way— and that is to keep your love stock outstanding. Marry early and keep on being playful and affectionate and the emotions flowing, and vou'll never be a dried-up, boresome old married man, or, what's worst, a ‘safe’ old bach.” HouSehold Notes If Japanese Janterns have a little silver sand put in the bottom to give weight, there will be little danger of the whole thing catching fire, as the candle is held firmly in position. A delicious dessert can be made from odds and ends of fruit cut and mixed together. Oranges, bananas and a little pineapple are good, and you may even put in strawberries. Wild fiowers can be transplanted successfully if caré is taken to put them in places with about the same exposure and character as they were in before. It is well to move a great deal of the natural soil with the roots. If the face burns and feels harsh it should' not be washed with water, but cleans with cold cream, wiped with ‘a soft cloth and sponged with a mild solution of benzoin and alcohol. A milky jug should always be rinsed | in cold water before being washed in hot. If the hot water is used first the ‘curd becomes set and the sur- face is not so easily cleansed. Take vegetables out of the water the moment they are sufficiently cooked.

If almonds are put into cold water and allowed to come just to the boil- ing point, they blanch easily. Plunge in cold water as soon as the skins are taken off, then they will not change color.
