Cabaret BY RUTH ' NEW BRITAIN CAMERON e The Spot Cash Customer A letter friend has an interesting problem to present. “You seem to be able to grasp and explain so many puzzling situations,” she writes, “I wish you would study the following and answer if possible. ‘Why 1s it that when merchants from the highest to the lowest are yelling about slow collections that anyone who pays spot casn is treated with the utmost contempt. Go into any department store, buy something and charge it and the clerks will fall over themselves to wait on you. To be sure you may have only paid twen- ty-five dollars on a hundred dollar bill, this month, but then you charge it, while the customer who goes in and pays spot cash is treated with scant courtesy. ‘When you want credit you can’t get it. “Also why this I know of a wo- men who has been buylng coal from one concern for three years, buying in ton lots and paying cash for every ton. This winter something happen- ed that she didn’'t have the eight dol- lars on Monday but would have on Friday. She went down to the peo- ple and asked for credit for a few days for half a ton. Well, they were very sorry but you know—the tele- phone rang. Very pleasantly the merchant answered it, “why certain- 1y Mrs. Blank. Two tons? Gladly.” And the order was given for Mrs. Blank to receive two tons that morn- ing. Yet She Owed Over a Hundred Dol- lars. “Now Mrs, Cash knew Mrs. Blank and had been told by her that she owed these same people over one hundred dollars, that the account had been running along for two years, and that someday she'd get it cleaned up. “I wish you'd start something in your paper by asking answers to this very puzzling question from merchants or otherwise, why they encourage people to run up as big bills as possible and yet think the man who pays cash is all right only when he has the cash to pay?” The Only Fair Way. In the meantime it may interest my letter friend to kpow that some merchants are beginning to value the cash customer more highly. I saw an article the other day urging that he be treated with more considera- tion. Also there is a plan on foot in certain citles to favor cash customer by charging a slightly higher rate for goods that are charged. In one city, A believe, they are trying out the three price system, (a) the lowest, for the customer who pays cash and carries his goods home, (b) for the customer who either has a charge ac- count or delivery service, ' (c) the highest, for the customer who has both. Here’s hoping it works for it cer- tainly seems the only fair way. RANGERS HOLD BANQUET. sand Bank Boys Eat, Drink and Make Merry at Hotel Nelson. An affair destined to go down in the history of the Rangers club as the most successful, was held at the Hotel Nelson Saturday when twenty-seven of the members in good participated in the annual standing, banquet. From information available, it is said that everybody had, a “wonderful night.”” The festivities were opened by taking of a flashlight photo. Miquel Haugh in the role of toast- master, attained. a perfect batting average. One of the best things oc- curing during the evening was the brief talk of Mique's on, “My Trips to the Swamp Road in Kensington.” Jimmy Clark favored the assemblage with his beautiful rendition, “Cleaning Up.” JOIN terest. terest. terest. & terest.

Meehan, NAZIMOVA IN “WAR BRIDES” AT KEENEY’S The feature film for the holiday season at Keeney's is Nazimova in “War Brides.” Herbert Brenan pre- sents this to New Britain theater- goers with the promise that it is the very same thing that Broadway is getting. Alan Dale, New York’s fa- mous dramatic critic says: “There is nothing on Broadway that can begin to compare with ‘War Brides."” Mr. Dale’s opinion should be enough to convince the theatergoer that a treat is in store for him. Today being New Year's, a special five-part drama has been booked for today only Lucile Lee Stewart, a favorite in New Britain, will be seen tonight only. Judging from the amount of applause handed out to Lucile the management will do well to keep the film a few days longer. Running for applause honors the first part of this week is the ever popular Marguerite Clark in “Mice and Men.” Grace Darmond is hold- ing down honors in “The Shielding Shadow.” The Universal serial “Liberty” is another added attraction. “ROSELAND GIRLS” OPEN AT GRAND “Blutch” Cooper’s “The Roseland Girls,” which will be the attraction at the Grand theater all this week, comes to Hartford with a record of achievement.

This is a particularly humorous play, constructed around a case of mistaken identity in which Rev. J. Smith and John Smith, neighbors, are the central figures. The clergvman, his namesake, their re- spectives wives, a female crook, John Smith’s college chum and a funny de- tective keep the pot of mirth boiling for three acts. | Peal White will be one of the new | omen Readers SOPRANO SOLOIST AT FOX’S THEATER Fox’'s theater was crowded at both performances last night and the high class music both vocal and jnstru- mental added greatly to the enjoy- ment of the feature photoplays. NMiss Rose De Rosler, an excellent =so- prano, rendered, ‘“Marie, My Own Marie” and for an encore sang “I Hear You Calling Me.” Miss De Ros- ier possesses a charming voice and has a manner that is delightfully re- freshing. She made a fine impres- sion on her first New Britain au- dience and it is announced that she will appear at every performance: during the week both matinee and night. Tonight and tomorrow Douglas Tairbanks tops the bill at Fox's in the Triangle Fine Arts production “American Aristocracy.” Mr. Fairs banks's breezy and engaging person- ality has never shown to better ad- vantage than in “American Aristo- cracy,” his latest production. The fourth episode of the exciting mili- tary serial “Pearl of the Army” with fea~ tures on the Monday and Tuesday program. The (Five ents to Everybody) matinees at Fox's are daily growing in popularity and new features are being constantly added to the show. Last Saturday the children were ad- mitted to the matinee for flve cents and the little folks took advantage of the reduced price and flocked to Fox's. This Saturday matinee price to children will be continued through- out the season. The first show at night is at seven o’clock. m'enu for Tomorrow Ji Breakfast Fruit Sugar and Cream Fried Potatoes Hot Rolls Coffee Cereal Lunch Cold Roast Beef Nun's Teast Cocon Dinner Corn and Potato Soup Brolled Steak Mashed Potatlces If Rev.

While he is out Mrs. J. Smith gets into his apartment. The meeting of the Smiths and the efforts to explain away circumstantial evidence provide unus- ual merriment for the audience. This may be the farewell perfor- mance of the Lyceum Musical Stock company. If ‘the patronage is small Director Perrin will consider it nec- essary to leave New Britain. On the other hand, if the patronage is heavy the company may remain. Stewed Tomatces Apple and Nut Salad Rire with Apricots Ccfiee - Corn and Tomato Soup—Puteanned corn throughk the food chupper.

A STORY YOU CAN ER | BEGIN AT ANY TIMRB Her Side---and His How Cora and David T~mple Solved Their Marital Probleow By ZOE BECKLEX Walt’s Ordeal Begins The morning mail brought two let- ters for the Stedmans. The bulky en- velope for Walt, with the imprint of the theatrical producer to whom he had sent his latest play, told a story which did not need opening of the envelope to confirm. Silently Walt took out his rejected manuscript and put it into a fresh envelope for an- other journey. Janet's letter, from Roy Nicoll. “I thought the best way of having you meet the heads of the depart- ments of our magazine and some of the moneyed men associated with me would be a little dinner. You and I were to have a conference tonight. Let us have instead this get-together. Walt, of course, is most cordially in- vited. The party would be incom- plete without him.” It w to he at Roy Nicoll’s sump- tuous bachelor home. Janet felt a pang at having to put the matter to Walt at such a mom- ent—or at any time. She handed him Roy’s letter without a word. Walt read it in silence, and Janet saw a ripple pass over his face, as though he were setting his teeth for an inevitable ordeal. She realized how cruelly the situation gripped him. He could no more evade the dinner to her than he could avert the whole situation. In the minds of all there it would he clear why he stayed away, if he did. His absence there would speak all the more damningly of the gap between his and Janet's progress toward visible success. “Of course, I'll go,” he said quietly, and went into his room. That night when they got into their evening clothes, which so belied their mood, Janet went to him suddenly and putting her arms about him, said: “0ld pal, you know—don't you?— that between you and me nothing matters, but that you are mine and T am yours! Nothing—nothing! Do you understand?” He smiled down at her, patting her hands. “Of course I do, & mere note, Wwas dear.” But she knew that in his heaft doubt lived. As a woman she felt the present, tho immediate, more vivid- ly, saw it with fuller dectail. Sha knew that siie loved nim and felt a passion of assurance that she wouid go on loving him in spite of anylhing life did to either of them. As a man, however, Walt saw the future mora clearly, precisely because his vislon was less obscured with the intensi and the swarm of detail of the pre ent. Therefore he sensed more keen- ly all that lay behind Roy Nicoll's de- sign in offering Janet her splendid chance, and saw bette} than she the dangers ahead. There were nearly a score of men and women at Roy Nicoll's dinner party. They were known to the pub- lic as capitalist, editor, writer, or in one way and another as successful— all but Walt. Janet now belonged with them. Roy Nicoll’ put it in a little speech of introduction to the toast , he had called on them to drink. “Most of you are distinguished be- cause you are so different from the mass of humans, So is Mrs. Stedman different from the common rum. Bw she is also distinguished becanse s} is so like the great mass of wom‘R of today—the women not of yeser- day, but of today and of tomorOW: the women who work for a Wing: the women who have io leave thelr anclent shelter of home and 40 out into the world for life and livlihood, She knows the hearts of thes, thefr thoughts, their tastes, their ‘eactions. That is why “Woman" wiy-lean 8o heavily upon her judmvm[\lp’on her decisions. ‘With Mrs, Steauan’ close co-operation, I hope to m FWom- an” the leader in its fiefl. As editor of “Woman", therefore; she is one ot you—a woman on whose word will hang notable results. 7 invited you to salute Mrs. Stedman as one whose foot is in step with, DProgress, both person and as the world sees it! And T ask your good wishes for both o us on the enterprise we are laun: ing!” is the company stood up and, an- swered the toast no one el Walt, And Janet dared
