A STORY YOU CAN BEGIN AT ANY 1IME Her Side---and His | How Cora and David Temple Solved Their By ZOE BECKLEY The Coming Ordeal a report he had read for the fourth time without seeming to get one word of it through his head. What was the matter? Why did the simple, lucid analysis before him, which he had himself drawn up, make no impression on his understanding? No, there was noth- ing wrong with the report. He was reading proof sheets of it which had been gone over and checked up by hig assistants as clear and correct. The trouble must be with him. The sound of something falling in Cora’s room brought him to his feet upstanding and on a run for her roo He found her quietly sewing on some tiny garments. “What was it? What was that sound?” he asked breathlessly. “That? Oh, a chair tipped over, Why, what's the matter, Davey, you look as though you had seen a ghost? Why, you funniness,” she laughed, suddenly realiizng, “you weren’t frightened for me, were you? David laughed sheepishly, kissed her and went back to his work without explaining. There was no need for it. His condition spoke for itself. His every nerve was now fensed and on guard for Cora even when he was not conscious of it. That was why he could not get his mind to stay with his conscious of it. That was why he could not get his mind to stay with his work; why he could not get his own clear report through his head, Like something released from the sea's bed and slowly rising to the surface had been growing on David the consciousness that Cora was ap- proaching her fight for life—her own life and the life of another to come. From all the welter of news that stared up unheeded from the pages of newspapers there would leap at him some obscurely placed item of a wom- Marital Problems David put dov “PRINCE OF PILSEN” AT LYCEUM FRIDAY Music lovers will welcome the popular musical com- edy, “The Prince, of Pilsen,” when it comes to the Lyceum on Friday night. “The Prince of Pilsen” is always a favorite. The fame of its melodies is now world wide. ~The music pub- lishers report that over a million copies have been sold of the favorite songs including “The Tale of the Seca Shell” “Heidelberg,” “Pictures in Smoke,” “Keep It Dark,” “The Song of uninterrupted success in the coun- the Violet.”” After the first two yvears of uninterruted success in this coun- ry, nearly a year of which was taken up with the remarkable and mem- orable run at the Broadway theater, New York, the musical comedy was sent to London for a run at ths Shaftesbury theater. Since then it has continued to be a great favorite with the English public as it has been on this side of the ocean. It has had two seasons in South Africa, and wi also produced successfully in Ger- many, France and Australia. The members of the present or- ganization have been chosen with thy single idea of providing the best performance possible. Charles Horne, a comedian of distinctly individual methods, will be seen as Hans Was- ner, the German brewer, and it is the concensus of critical opinion that his impersonation is as masterpiece of comic characterization. Estella Birney is the wily and roguish widow to whom the jolly brewer finally capitulates. Others who will be seen in roles of prominence are Ed- ward T. Mora, Irene Duke, Dorothy Delmore, George Myers and Frank MacEwan. The City Girls, Sea Shell Girls, Bathing Girls and Golf Girls, together with the Heidelberg students are said to make one of the hand- somest and best singing choruses on the American stage. There will be a speclally augmented orchestra.

George Stone and Etta Pillard, who last sea- son appeared here in a show of an- other name, are favorites in Hartford, an who did not come back from the ordeal of motherhood. War, the race for presidency of his country, epidemics, the laudation of his own work in the editorial columns—all these went by unheeded by him while he read over and over the meager account of that world-old tragedy—a woman death in the effort to give life. Now, too, woudl come back to him the few cases of the same catas tophe he had heard of through other channels. He had heard of few such, but now they seemed to have multiplied terribly in number. Cora was facing the same fight. Nor was there anything he could do to shield her from the onslaught of the furies which were so certain to ravage her with their tortures and which might even destroy her. He went back to her room on some pretext and found her as he had left—quietly sewing. She smiled as he came in. How could she be so much at peace, joyful even, in a quiet, profound way? Could she know what was before her? Of course she knew. And yet she could look up and smile quizzicaly at him. e felt awe in the presence of such cour- age. His fears for her did not diminish, but her smile of courage gave him something of the temper with which to await the inevitable. ‘Was it worth the great chance? Nothing on earth could make up to him the loss of her. There, the vague and vet so oppressing weight of the unknown tomorrow for Cora was haunting him again! Cora looked up at him between stitches at the downy bit of materiai she was shaping into a ludicrously small sleeve. She knew what was go- ing on in David’s mind. She felt an inexplicable sense of protection both coming from him and still more due from her. She knew so infinitely more than he at this moment, though what it was she knew she counld not tell. Only she was conscious of an instinctive mother wisdom that told her just what was troubling the big child before her and just how to dispel the phantom. “Come here, son,” she sald smiling, putting down the sewing, obeyed and sat down on a cushion she moved to her feet. “Now I want your opinion on how this will fit the young lady. So concentrate your mind, please, to the best of your ability and give me your best judgment.” “Lady?” echoed David. “No such thing. It is to be a gentleman’s weskit!” he protested, Cora shook her head firmly. ‘‘A lady's smock,” she insisted, “A gentleman's weskit,” David persisted. Davida Paying Debts With Money ‘ of her humbler days. In short, she: tried to pay all her debts of friend- ship and service with money. You Can’t Pay All Your Dcbts With Money. | And you can’t do that without hurt- | ing yourself and your friendships. 1 In a time of bereavement, a cer-| tain friend did much for her. She said, “I will never forget it.” Yet when the other woman had a great grief to face what did she do? | She sent her handsome flowers but she didn’t go near her because “I| never know what to say.” | She Thought She Was Being Generous. Again she had a friend who had' a rather humble little home in a somewhat out-of-the-way place. She | entertained this friend at her own Money is a wonderful—and some- fearful—thing. There are many fine things that you can do with money and some things not fine that money can do with you. Money is power. The right kind of people often do much good with power, but it takes a strong charac- ter to have a great deal of power without being hurt by it. Once upon a time I knew a dear lady who was much beloved by many people. She was always interested in other people’s interests, and she was always eager to do gracious things for others. Her means were | limited so she could not give away a great deal of money, but she gave | generously of what she had, and in addition of self and service. ie Was Still Generous—With Money. Gradually the wheel of fortune turned and lifted this woman into a position of comfort if not of afflu- ence. And she was still generous with mone She was constantly giving handsome gifts to her friends| But imperceptibly, gradually—as all changes in fiber take place—she be- came less generous with her gifts of self and service. She didn’t trouble to be interested in other people's interests, she didn't put herself out to perform little se: She lost the keen sympathies times a s0 ater. When the friend offered what she could afford in return, the hos- pitality of her own little home, this woman would not accept it. “You live so far away,” she would say, “Come to dinner and the theater with us.” She thought she was being very generous. She @id not realize that by refusing to accept the other’s hos- pitality she was spoiling their friend- ship. You can’t truly pay all your debts with money. Beware how you try to! vices. home, at restaurants and at the the- and their reappearance will certainly be greeted with approval. “Ragdoll of Ragland” is their vehicle this sea- son. The plot is unique, introducing Stone as a rag doll that has been the toy of Twinkle Tootsie, the role as- sumed by Miss Pillard. The plot is one that offers almost unlimited ops portunities for rare and bewitching melodies and the dancing of Miss Pil- lard is famed the country over. Not least attractive in the production is the dancing of the Brownies and the characteristic ensembles of Phoebe Snow and her “‘Snowgirls.” Summed up in a few words, “Ragdoll of Rag- land” would do justice to the best burlesque stage in the land- The offering will be seen at the Grand twice daily all the week.

Walthall, “The Birth of a Nation” star, and which will be the Triangle attraction at Fox's today and tomorrow. It is “our best people” who are pictured in this masterpiece, but they are not pictured with any sugaring of the pill. “Our most prominent citizen” has made his way ! and his fortune at the expense of another’s reputation. He is living a lie and his whole social reputation rests on the maintanance of that lie. But the falsity of the whole situation weaves its inevitable tangle in the lives that touch his, and the tangle grows until the lie is destroyved. Truth and justice are the real pillars of society That is the theme of this play, but it is a real play, not a preachment. The touch of genius is there in the very simplicity and di- rectness of the thing. In addition to ithe above the Paramount will present their noted Japanese star Sessue Hay- akawa in “The Honorable Friend.” In this feature Hayakawa is seen as the young Japanese gardner working for a wealthy and unscrupulous curio dealer. The old man is desirous of a bride and sends the young man’s picture as his own to Japan. the girl arrives, Hayakawa is to meet her and be his wife. He is later however, that she is to be taken away from his and is to become the wife of the old man. How the matter finally adjusted and united is presented in an unusual and most dramatic manner. The Key- stone Players will present Mack Swain in “Madcap Ambrose” and the Par- amount will offer their newspaper of the screen, The Pictograph.

REVELATIONSOF A WIFE By ADELE GARRIGCN g :,How Katie Was for Her Wedding. | | There was a reflection of the pleas- | uTe I had felt in getting ready for my | own wedding in the help I was able | to gve Katie in her simple prepara- [ tions. Katie’s volatile nature bubbled into almost constant smiling chatter as she flew about the house, hurrying through with her housework that she might find time to work upon her simple trousseau. | I had presented her with the ma- | terials for her wedding gown, and, indeed, had provided practically all of her outfit. I had suggested to the girl that she be married in the pretty | little blue coat suit I had provided {for the short, inexpensive trip which she and Jim were to take, and for which Dicky had provided the funds. But Katie’s face had fallen and her expressive lower lip had trembled when I had spoken of it. “Oh, dear Missls Graham,” she had | said maurnfully: ‘“You so goot to me I want to do joost vot you say, but I not feel married to Jim one bit if I no have me white dress and wreath and veil like girls in my country.” Of course, I capltulated at once. It would have been a harder heart than mine that could have resisted her eyes and her tremulous smile, and Katie and I had spent a day in the New York shops which was highly satis- | factory to Katie if rather discourag- |ing to the remnant of the money I | had saved from my Lotus Study club | salary. I had carefully kept that money separate from that given me by Dicky. It was a foolish feeling, perhaps, but it seemed more mine because I had earned it. Out of it each week I | conscientiously paid Katie's wages, {and put the rest in a checking ac- count, sa that I could draw any of it at any time for any little expenditure for which I did not feel like taking the housekeeping money. But I did not begrudge spending it on Katle. It was only because of her faithful, efficient service that I was able to earn this money for myself. 1 felt so much relief at the knowledge that Katie's marriage was not to de- prive me of her services that I would gladly have spent twice the amount I did upon her. Why Katie Smiled. Dicky’s mother at first was slightly incensed at what she termed my “‘criminal generosity” to the girl. But efter I had carefully explained to her that it was my own money, not Dicky’s, that I was spending she felt better. And when Katie, announcing her intention of “making everything nice and clean” before she went away, went through the house like an indus- trious whirlwind sweeping, scauring, washing windows Mother Graham perceptibly thawed toward her, “The girl really seems to have a sense of gratitude,” she sald as she watched her one day, and shortly af- terward found her sewing upon some of Katie's things. “That girl ought to. have some sheets and pillow cases and towels,” she said. “Hasn't she any idea of what she will need at all?” “I will speaek to her about it, I re- turned quietly, and when I had an opportunity I broached the subject to Katie. She listened respectfully to what I had to say, but seemed to be struggling with a desire to laugh. ‘When I finished she could not repress a giggle. “You Jjoost walt ten minutes” she said enigmatically. “Dot all time I need to feex everything.” She left the room abruptly, and I hear her running up the stairs to her room I could not understand what she meant and when in a few moments she came back again, her face aglow, I wondered vaguely at the “Ready” cause of her pleasure, “You plees get old vomans and Misses Graham,” she said. “How many times must I tel] you, Katie, that you must not call Mr. Graham’s mother ‘old woman,’ I returned as sternly as I could. “Oh, I so sorry, I forget Katle said penitently. again.” I found out early in my experiences with Katie that trying to change any of her little ways was like trying to punch a feather bed. There was never any permanence in the )¢ But I did not continue the subject, and In another five minutes Mother Graham and I were standing in Katie’s room, simply overwhelmed with astonishment at the treasures of needlework Katie had spread on her bed. again,” “I not do it The Wonder Chest. Sheets, pillow cases, spreads, towels, tablecloths and napkins, all were there, of linen, coarse, it is true, yet of good quality, and all wonder- fully embroidered, some in colors, some in plain white, with queer foreign looking designs. “Oh. Kate, how wonderful!” I ex- clamed, while Mother Graham’s eyes sleamed with the interest of any good needleworker in handiwork strange to her. “Where did you get them?” ‘Some my moder, my grandmoder, my vot you call it, moder of my grandmoder—" Katle paused uncer- tainly. “Great-grandmother,” I suggested. “Dot’s it,” Katie said in a relleved tone, then hurried on. “All dose vimmens dey make so much stuff ven dey get married, and den ven each one dies de next one gets fit. My great-grandmoder she dead, but my grandmoder and my moder dey gif me lots wen I start for America, say dot all far my wedding.” Her voice choked on the last words, and to my horror she threw her apron over her head and began to sob violently. “Plain hysterical,” my mather-in- law sald in a disgusted tone. “Maybe jou can get her out of it. If you can’t, call me. Cold water generally will do the trick.” She stalked out of the room, and I, with a mental malediction upon her heartlessness, went up to the girl and put my arms around her. “Katie, dear,” I sald gently, “tell me what is the matter.” NEW SCREEN STAR TO APPEAR AT KEENEY'S Florence La Badie, a newcomer as a screen star, is to make her initial bow before Keeney patrons tonight when she appears on the bill in the big Universal feature, “The Fugitive.” The piece is a thriller and one of the most dramatic attractions which has been produced by the Universal peo- ple in many weeks and it is bound to win favor with the “first nighter: Carter DeHaven will present another episode in the Timothy Dobbs’ serial and there will be several ngle and two part film Harry Fox and Grace Darling in “Beatrice Fairfax” {s promised for ‘Wednesday and Thursday and on Fri- day and Saturday there will be the second episode in “The Scarlet Run- ner,” the new Vitagraph serial which began last week.
