The face of Mrs. Gorman, Grace Draper’s sister, was ashen with fear as she confronted Lillian Underwood and me in the hallway of the old | Brennan house at Marvin, Her ap- pearance was the one thing needful to convince me that something terrible had happened to Dicky, who, with Harry Underwoad, had failed to re- turn from the city to keep an engage- ment with us. Lillian and T had heard her flying feet from the room where we sat wait- ing for whatever the night might bring forth. Lillian reached the door | first. As she opened it, and the wom- | an almost fell into the room, Lilllan | caught her by the shoulder and | steadied her. It was was not until I saw Lillian looking in a puzzled man- | per from Mrs. Gorman to me, that I reallzed that she had no idea who the visitor was. L But Mrs, Gorman waited for na for- malitics. She cast one swift glance at | Lillian, then shook off her 1d and | started toward She red my | wrist wih a grip as of iron, and thrust a folded sheet of note paper into my hand. “Look at that,” she scrcamed at me, “and tell me if if you know any- | thing about it. Where is my sister Grace?” Lilllan reached out a steady hand past me and took the paper. “Mrs, Graham is very nervaus and i much upset,” she s s 1 infer, you are Miss Draper's sister, T know as much about the sit- vation as Mrs. Graham does, and you me. Foe's Defeat. They never forget that defea might huve come their w - and knowing how bitter it would have been, they do all they can to soften it for othors. g They even try not to be too clous because they know that is a maddening condescension too much graciousness. As to a taunt or a sneer, they would no more be guilty of that than of striking a wounded man or a crip- ple. Our books of eitquette deal the “do’s” and “don’t's, of form manner, Br ihes about with and I do not know which is the more shameful, a poor winner or a poor loser. b I think a book dealing with the “do’s” and “don't’s” of heart etiquette might well be written. 7 (= o i o NG AMERICA VS. EUROPE . ON FOX'S SCREEN The mercilessness of the feudal sys- ] tem and the probable reason why the noble families of Europe have retained their power and prominence through many generations is well set forth in the motto of the ducal house of Buritz, in the Morosco-Paramount photoplay “An International 1 riage,” featuring Rita Jolivet, whic! one of the attractions at Fox's today and tomorrow. The ducal boast em- blazoned on their armor candidly ex- presses, “What we want, that we take.” The handsome young duke in following this slogan of his lineage runs into greater trouble than he an- t\cxpatc= with a yeung American who FESTIVAL 1) MARY PICKFORD Famous Plasers-Paramount also loves the same beautiful Ameri- can girl. As “Florence Brent” Rita Jolivet is a most attractive and charm- ing heroine. In addition to the above the Triangle Plays will present W. S. Hart in the $100,000 Ince masterpiece, “The Captive God.”” HRver since he entered the motlon picture fold Thomas H. Ince bent his efforts to- | ward the production of a drama like “The Captive God.” He has preferred to pass untouched that period of the world’s history which contains some of the most interesting and unusual romances ever written. With his cus- tomary care Ince has incorporated a great amount of detall into this sub- ject, and the result is a great spec- tacle-romance. Its scenes are rich with the picturesqueness that abounds in Aztec country, and its action is tense with dramatic situations. It is sald that Hart's portrayal in the Jeading role has rendered another fascinating performance that will es- tablish him still more firmly in pop- ular favor. The Keystone comedy, “Never Again,” featuring Willle Col- lier, and the Burton-Holmes Travel- ogue, will make up the balance of this program, with a performance on Sat- urday that will be continuous from 2 to 11 p. m. Something unusual in the motion picture business, “Tickets in advance” is the result of the an- nouncement of “Fox’s Photoply Fes- tival” for next week.

This treat is promised the New Britain public when Edward Pe- ple’'s new play of Quaker life, “Friend Martha,” will be seen here at the Ly- ceum theater on Tuesday evening next. It is a play that will wring from blase theater-goers their last honest tear #nd hearty laugh, that will de- light the young and old alike. It will bring back youth where youth has long since fled, and send a message that ls wholesome and beautiful in its promise to the immature. In short, “Friend Martha” is a play school girl and grandmother alike, containing, none the less, enough real, sparkling joyous comedy to delight the heart of father and the boys “Friend Martha' reveals the story of a charming Quaker girl who had spirit enough to defy the stern dictum of her father and bestow her heart upon a gallant youth from the out- side world. Tt is a tale of the tri- umph of love, and its redemption of the hard-hearted, fanatical father. The play will ‘be seer. here with & Broadway cast of exceptional merit. The leading role s in the hands of dainty Oza Waldrop, and other roles will be played by such excellent play- ers as Charles A.
