I love these little authentic glimpses into people’s lives, these little visits behind the scenes. They interest me more than the magazine that lies unopened on my lap. 1 suppose that will seem a startling statement to some people. They will say, “What terribly bad taste to eavesdrop like that and then to tell about it so frankly as if it were noth- ing to be ashamed of!" T've Had It Out With That's just why I tell about it frankly because 1 don't think it is I've had it out with myself and I think it is permiss- able to listen to what people say in perfectly audible tones in public places. It's just like glancing in a window as you pass by when the curtains have been left up in the evening. Of course if you went up to that windsw and peered in, that would be unforgivable. And so it would if you eavesdropped to conversations. But listening to a conversation carried on in a public place is not eavesdropping to my way of thinking. And Mr. Webster Agrees With Me. Nor to the thinking of so distin- guished a person as Mr. Webster. “To eavesdrop,” he says, “means to lurk under the eaves of a house near a window, or door, to overhear pri- vate conversation, hence to listen se- cretly.” Now be overheard on the car that risk.

MARGUERITE CLARK’S BIG DRAMATIC FILM “Out Of The Drifts,” the best vehi- cle ever provided for Marguerite Clark’s screen appearance, is to be lone of the photoplay features for the balance of the wee The manage- men{ has booked it as a Paramount release and it is expected that it will make a most. favorable impression on the patrons. It is a drama of tense interest and it affords Miss Clark ard vy which supports her big While the picture above noted is nominally the headliner, the real big | screen offering of week is a $300,- 000 fllxn attraction, “T.ess Than the Dust,” with the famous Mary Pick- ford playing the lead. The picture has been shown all during the ! and it has been drawing big audiences to the theater. N Pickford seen i at her best in the play, which is staged in most elaborate fashion. Theater-goers are also turning out strong to welcome Corse Payton, j their idol a decade ago, who is ap- pearing this week in the dramatic playlet, “Don’'t Weaken.” Although exhibiting less hair on his head than he dlsp!a\'cd in the days when his popularity was at its zenith Payton has stood the ravages of time well and he is still the same debonalr. dashing hero who captivated/the hearts of the matinee patrons in the nineties and was elected king of the profession by the gallery gods. Pavton in his skit is supported by Edna May Spaoner, William Slider and Hay Elwood, all of whom have been prominent stock and road companies. Keeney's offers two other good acts in addition to the headliner. in week into } | February, SILVER JUBILEE AT LYGEUM NEXT WEEK “Dlp]omacy,” to Be Revived at Local - Theater It was on the twenty-first day of 1892, that the Russwin Ly- ceum formally opened its doors to the theatergoers of New Britain.

This is some- thing unusual/ as Mr. Gillette never lets the manuscript of his plays get in- to the possession of others. On account of his many pleasant associations in New Britain, however, and the regard he holds for Mr. Naylor, the distin- guished American actor has broken a rule this once. More than that, the managerial offices of Mr. Gillette have presented Mr. Naylor with a copy of the original program which shows the cast that originally put on “Diplom- acy”, one of the greatest dramatic or- ganizations of the past century. Fur- ther than this, Manager Lynch., h; preserved one of the first programs vrinted for the local theater and the names of the cast are thereon printed. This roster will be reproduced on the souvenir program which the Naylor players intena to get out for the occa- sion. No pains will be spared by the Wal- ter Naylor players to make next week one worthy the event which is to be celebrated, the Silver Jubilee of the Lyceu! Manager Lynch is co-operat- ing with the players. The house: will be tastefully decorated. An augment- ed orchestra will play at all perfor- mances, and other special attractions are contemplated. Because of the in- terest which will be manifested in this, the greatest of all weeks at the Lyce- um, special arrangements will be made at the Lyceum and at Crowell’'s Drug store to take care of the great advance l sale of seats expected.

It will be shown for the last time tonight." In the star part of “Arthur Dimmesdale,” Stuart Holmes is at his best and Mr. Holmes is sup- ported by a remarkable cast of play- ers. Among those who merit special mention are Mary Martin in the part of “Hester Prynne” and Kittens Reich- ert, the child who plays “Pearl.” The Bushman-Bayne serial, “The Great Secret’ is more exciting than ever. If Francis X. Bushman engages in many more fights as he does in this chapter, he won't lgst the run of the feature. It's the general verdist that the Iox comedy, “There’'s Many a Fool.” is the best one yet released. On Friday and Saturday Mrs. Ver- non Castle will appear in the second cpisode of “Patria’. There is no mis- taking the impression Mrs. Castle made at Fox's last week and the hun- dreds who =aw her in a seeming dash to death as the racing car smashed through the gates and crossed the track the fraction of a second ahead of the train will testify that there s plently of sensation and daring in “Pa- tria.” Miss Clara Triangle star, and Saturda Williams, the charming will be on the Friday program with the five act drama, “Three of Many,” the new Vogue comedy, the Heart-Pathe’ news and funny Hughie Mack in the Viti- graph comedy “Hash and Havoc.” Sunday night Lionel Barrymore in “The End of the Tour,” Charlie Chap- lin in “Easy Street” and Mrs, Vernon Castle will vie for the headline hon- ors on one of the finest feature pro- grams of the 'season. The show runs continuous on Saturday and on ac- count of the added features in the Sunday night program, the first show will start promptly’at 5 o'clock. — T - e — T Cp 2005 3 News for T heater - Goers and Women Reaa’ers _”‘—1 AMERICAN CHICLE COMPANY Reg.U.5.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Dicky Said “Madge, You're the Bulliest Scout in the World!"” when I desire Dicky's involuntary frown finished my explanation of my e more of the mystesous elderly millionaire, Robert Gordon, daunted me for an instant. Then the convic- tion flashed upon me that it was not anything concerning Robert Gordon which had displeased him, but my in- advertent mention of Jack Bickett, my brother-cousin, of whom Dicky had been so madly jealous when we were first married. I had told Dicky that Robert Gor- don, the dearest friend of my dead mother and my father, who was both unknown and worse than dead ta me, was the only link, excepting Jack Bickett, connecting me to my child- hood. It was almost the first time Jack's name had crossed my lips Dicky’s hearing since my brothe cousin had sailed for France to play his little part in the great war. From Mrs, Stewart, the dear old landlady of the boarding house where Jack and my mother and I had spent so many peaceful years, I had heard of Jack's immunity so far from wounds, although he had renounced his allegiance to the United States in order to get back into the trench fighting. But I had never had any word directly from Jack. He had told me that he would not write to me because of Dicky’s jealousy, that if 1 ever needéed him to let Mrs. Stewart know. My life had been so full of excite- ment—indeed, I had come so near to tragedy—Iin the episodes h Grace Draper that the image of Jack, my brather-cousin, the nearest relative I had in the world, had faded into the background of my life.’ When I had thought about Jack at all T had hoped that Dicky's jealousy of him had vanished with his absence, but Dicky's frown told me that my hope was futile. Dicky made a manful effort, how- ever, to restrain his little exhibition of feeling. When he spoke there was no trace of irritation in his voice. «It Ts Unjust.” “Just rid your mind of one idea at once,” he said with decision. “You will not displease me by seeing Mr. Gordon. I can understand your long- the thick of | your father, and the old chap may be i able to give you some trace of him. I'd like to ask him out here, but I think we would better wait until mather calms down, don't you?” “Oh, most assuredl 1 returned, although my heart was filled with ‘a Tierce resentment that I should be unable to offer this old friend of my mother’s the hospitality of my home, on account of an old waman/s tan- trums: Dicky “I know looked at me keenly. what you're thinking, " he said wistfully, agree with you, it is unjust. But if mother stays in our home at all we will have to expect these exhibitions once in a while. She has always had them. When I was a boy ey terror- ized me. and now for years she has had that heart affection so that I do not dare to ¢ her too far. “If ever Harriet and Edwin come l)\ll\ from the hospital in France the ! problem will be solved, for mother will, of course, go back to them. Harrict is so devoted to Edwin, so busy wiih his work that she lets mother run the house, and that, of course, suits the mater to a ‘T. “But if mother becomes | reasonable, too un- makes life too unpleasant for vou, I'm not going to wait for Harriet to get back,” he continued. “I'm going to fit up a little apartment for her, get somebody to stay iwith her, and make her live Dby herself. I'm not going to have your Ilife spoiled by her unreasonableness.” I felt my heart leap with joy at the picture his words brought to my mind. To have Dicky all to myself, with no critical witn of our sorroy and our quar- rels, to be free—it was all T could do not to put my arms around my hus- band’s neck and murmur my. happi- ness at hjs proposition. But T knew I must not accept his offer, at least not unless things got much worse than they were. So T put my hand against his lps, “Nice Frilly Name—" “Hush, dear! T am not going to listen to you if you talk like that. There must be no thought of any other home for your mother than ours until her daughter comes back. pose she were alone in an apartment ing to find out anything you can about and anything should happen to her joys and our| “and I' there all by herself! forgive myself! “No, we must put up with things as they are. I have noticeed that if I let your mother alone, leave her much to | herself when she gets these—these— ruffled-spells, she gets over them more quickl, “Nice frilly name you've got for a temper fit,” Dicky laughed, he tightened the clasp of about me. “Do you know you're the scout in the world?”” he demanded. ‘L know I don’t always act as if I thought so, but just remember ‘them’s me real sentiments.’” And now, whenever you wish T'll arrange a little dinner down- town for Mr, Gordon. What do you think about inviting the Underwoods, too? They could entertain me while vou're talking over your family his- | tory “That would be very nice,” I agreed, but T had an inward dread of talking to Robert Gordon with the maliclous eves of Harry Underwood upon me. Indeed, I felt intuitively that if ever the mysterious elderly millionaire who had persistently haunted me until he found out my identity were to reveal the history of his friendship for my mother to me it would be when no other ears, not even Dicky's, were listening. “STEP LIVELY GIRLS” AT GRAND THEATER I could never his arms The Virginia reel is one of the clever features of the ‘Step Lively, Girls,’ the show this week at the Grand theater. Shorty (Rich) McAllister, Harry T. Shannon, Dick Knowles and Fred Dotson are in charge of the com- edy*department. The way wax fizures are whirled through intricate dance numbetrs in one of the scenes of the first act is enough to create laughs, but there are plenty of other clever situn- tions during tie course of the enter- tainment, and there is a chorus of good looking girls. Tillie Cox, Mae White | and Maudie Heath are featured among the women of the show.
