I propose to have ours a two-part home.’ Janet looked interested. ‘“‘What will it be like?” she asked. “You're keen on having us be as nearly as possible as we were before we married. Fine!” said Walt. “Before marriage I had a room of my own. Well, T have not given it up asyet—and I shall not.” “Walt Stedman, what do you mean?” Janet said with a touch of anxiety. “What's your idea? You haven't tired of me in two short weeks have you?” Without wasting words on the dcontrary. emonstration Walt assured her to the “But you may get tired of me occ “Then each of us will need a private cyclone cellar.

Then his manner changed and he spoke earnestly. “But I'm serious about keeping bachelor bedroom Janet. Here's the idea.

Well our marriage is going to be different. shall have two roofs to our home.” It was a dangerous speech to make. But Janet was hlessed with that rare gift—comon sense. So she felt only a little hurt. “Of course, if you feel the need of a place to run away to hide from Tnol sionally—and I of you” he said. We Of course T don't feel the need of it Adorablé Goose!" he cried glee- fully, hugging her “Neither do I feel the need of the thirty-seven cents or so I have tucked away in my sock for ainy day. But the feeling that it is there to draw on if need be cnables me to work with such pep that T don’t expect to need that thirty_seven cents. And if you know and I know that I have a room and you have a flat to run away to it will keep me from beating vou and you from horsewhipping me. See?” “A feeling is not worth paying a needless rent for,” Janet “You have a room of your own for Drivacy in our own flat.” “A feeling is worth paying for If it’s worth anything at all. And one is lucky if money will pay for it,” Walt said seriously. “If the few dollars a week it costs me to keep my room at Mme, Berger's will save me 1,000,- 000th of 1 per cent, of our marital happiness I'll pay the rent if I have to cut out sleep to carn it. A room in the same flat, no matter how urivate, doesn’t take the place of a retreat under a separate roof. Janet, T ask you as a sensible, practical, straight thinking woman—who despises, as I do, roman fiction when it masquerades for truth—do you think it possible that we shall never have a single quarrcl as lcng as we live?' “I do not,” Janet said thoughtfully. “We are human “Well, when we quarrel we sha'n't do it!” Walt said. “When we feel ‘words’ coming on I shall run away—not to my room in the same flat, where you will follow me and say them hard words anyway, but to 3 solitary castle, third floor, at Mme.

Tha (offering comes with an unqualified ap+ yroval - of metropolitan pr: and public as being the best musical pre- | ontation of the season. A Victor Herbert score can always be depended upon for complete enjoyment. While | Mr. Blossom's book and lyeics have never yet failed in their mission. The story of the opera relates the flirta- tions of Princess Patrice di Montaldo, 2n Irish girl who has married an { Ttalian nobleman. By her friends she is called Pat, for short. At a house party on Long Island she is brought in contact with Anthony Schmalz, an crly millionaire, who is about to rry Grace Holbrook. Grace is not in love with Schmalz, but his money will bring relief to the depleted iry of her uncle, with whom she The husband of the princess | drifted from his ardent love | joaking of carlier days, and to teach {him a much needed lesson as well as break off the engagement existing be- tween Grace and Schmalz, she induces Rob Darrow, a sort of adventurer, to lend his help.

The prince is made ! witdly jealous while Schmalz is plan- ring an elopement with the princess. | Everything ends happily, however, as it should in all comic operas, and each and every couple are peacefully reunited at the end of the play. Among the twenty numbers in Victor Herbert's score, are such popular songs as “Allies,” “Make Him Guess,” “T'd Like to Be a Quitter, But T Find T' Hard to Quit,” “Love Is Best of AllL” “For Better or for Worse,” “Neaopolitan Love Song,”” *“I Wish T Was an Island in an Ocean of Girls,” “All for You,” ‘In a Little World for Two,” and “Two Laughing Irish In addition to Miss Welch the cast of principals will include, Effie Tiye, William Dawson, Carl Stoll, Frank Rose, George O’Donnell, Ray- mond Ellis, Tots Marks, Ethel Den- rison and Ben Hendricks.

Y~ - ol I and Juliet,’ ’as a photoplay, is with- out doubt one of the greatest ever presented on the screen. The settings are true to life. One can almost imagine they are in the ancient city of Verona, when they see the sol- diers, armor bedecked, dashing through the streets of this medieval city. The quarrels between the Cap- ulets and Montagues are well staged. To a moving picture audience the chief point of interest centers in the work of the most sinister villainess of the screen, Theda Bara, who has es- sayed her first Shakesperian role. By her emotional acting she dominates the play so completely that it might aptly be named “The Tragedy of Juliet.” It is the tragedy and not the romance of the story that she em- Phasizes ang it is in the later stages of the play that she is most effective. Harry Hilliard, as Romeo, gives a credible account of himself. Other Fox favorites in the cast are Walter Law, Glen Waite, John Webb Dillon and the child favorites, Jane and Catherine Lee. The balance of the program at this house was made up on “Gloria’s Romance,” Billie Burke, the Pathe Weekly, “For a Cave Man,” a cub comedy, and the “See America First” travel film. This entire pro- gram will be repeated today and the performance will be continuous from 2 to 11. Manager Melarkey wishes to impress upon the minds of his patrons the necessity of getting to the early show, which begins around 6:30, on account of the tremendous crowd that is always on hand for the later per- formance.
