You All Know Me. T WEEK THU., FRIL, SAT and long experi- insure satisfactory \ ‘MORE EXCELLENT WAY’ " AT FOX’S THEATER A picture of unbounded heart {n- terest and supreme appeal is, “The More Excellent Way,” .the feature of the Fox program for taday' and to- morrow. The fact that the star of ‘the production {s that most popular of all moving' picture actresses, Anita Stewart, who is supported by Charles Richman, a dramatic actor of much nete, is sufficient to indicate a mighty good piece of work. This picture, which is Miss Stewart's latest Vita- sraph release, is a powerful five part blue-ribbon drama telling the strange soul-story of Chrissie. Two men lover her—one a man of forty, who ‘was a great operator of the stock ex. change, distinguished, and capable; the other a weakling, & youth af high birth and winning pereonality, but.a slave to whiskey. Her heart chooses the boy but duty and honor intervene and she marries the man of iron will and self control. Then comes the crash and disillusionment, and she re- pents. How the:light of realization plerces her path, and how she saw the weakness of the boy and her own _ 'eWs* For ~ fickleness in contrast with the sin- cerity of her husband maekes a won- derfully dramatic photo-play, blended with a combination of strong qualities that carry an abundance of super- interest and convictich. It is without doubt one of Miss Stewart's greatest productions. Other features on the same program will include the Flor- ence Rose Fashions, showing a few distinct novelties in ladies’ costumes; a new Fox, comedy. “Six Cylinder Courtship,” in which Tom Mix stars; and a good two-reel Vitagraph subject, “Love’s Sunset.” \ Great interest in local military -circles is felt in the coming of the great flve-part super-patriotic feature, “The Eagle's Wings.” This picture, which comes’'to Fox's for Friday and Saturday of this week, is to be pre- sented under the auepices of the New Britain recruiting offices, in an effort to ralse the required number of re- cruits necessary to bring the local companies up to war strength. Mayor Quigley has expressed his deep in- terest in the undertaking, and will de- liver an address in a persanal appeal for recruits during the evening. Other speakers will be present, and the New Britain Home Guard is ex- pected td occupy a block of seats as the guests of the management. “The Eagle’s Winds” is a‘'massive picture of five reels, spectacular and patriotic, which brings a thundering message of warning and preparedness. Theatergoers WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, —and Women Readers SAVED CHILD FROM COCCHPS CLUTCHES: Neighbor Saw Him Lare Daughter | o Basement : New York, June 20.—The police learned yesterday that Philippa Mu- real, a 15-year-old girl, had been res- cued by her mother, Mme. Mureal from the clutches of Alfredo Cocchi in the .basement of his motorcycle shop at 127th and Manhattan streets in Sep- tember of last year, five months before 17-year-old Ruth Cruger was killed and buried there.' | He had lured the girl there on the pretext of showing her how a motor might be attached to her bicycle. Mme. Mureal, who then lived at 111 Manhattan street, directly across from Cocchi shops saw her daughter go down into the basement with Cocchi, ran downstairs from her apartment and entered the basement as the girl was struggling to escape from Cocchi, ‘who had one hand on her throat, the other about her waist. Mme. Mureal tore the girl away, and to avoid no- toriety moved out of the neighborhood instead of reporting the incident. Be- fore that date Cocchi had coaxed the girl to go motorecyle riding with him, and had sought to tempt h‘( with promises of champagne. \ District Attorney John T. Dooling questioned another fourteen-year-old girl living in the neighborhood, who had been induced by Cocchi to ride with him on his motorcycle. Evidence was found that he had made advances to most of the pretty girls who lived near his shop, or who phssed it fre- quently. Investigation into the past of Cocchi showed that his reputation as a dan- ger to young girls had been known in the other neighborhobds in which he had motorcycle shops before he moved to his last addross. When he had & shop in 1914 and 1915 at 227 West Eighty-third street, Mrs. Cocchi complained to the landlopd, P. J. Mul- cahy of 2286 Broadway, that Cocchi’ was continually with young girls, and that he usually met them at Columbus \. Circle. Cocchi lessed tlie entire prem- SIDE TALKS Nature’s I have a friend who considers that environment and not heredity is the' determinant factor in the formation of character. He came to me the other day tri- amphant ‘with an {llustration of his point. Two sisters who had:._been adopted as children, one. into a de- sirable environment, the other into a rather -undesirable one, have turned out utterly differently. “There,” he says, ‘‘you can’t deny that environment made the differ- ence in them.” 3 I Don’t Know and He Doesn’t Either. I can't deny it, but I do deny that he can affirm it ‘The difference may have been due | to. environment and then again it may not. r 1 can point to half a dozen cases where two sisters or brothers with the same environment.and also the same heredity have turned out Very differently. Can’t you? ‘We were talking of a woman we had recently’ met. She is very wel} bred and very intellectual. Her en- emies call her “high brow. Some- one said, “¥ve heard that her sister WOMAN NOW IN PERFECT HEALTH What Came From Reading a Pinkham Adver- tisement. aSi Sl E e pe s i have made me well | ’H{g‘t‘u“"””llli”“ lland beaithy.

Pinkbam Medicine (¢ confidential) if sy 1 s A Chemsitry. is entirely different, very freel easy, almost coarse.” . ‘Why Should Two Sisters Be Utterly Different? “But why should she be?” said someone else. ‘“They had the same parents and the same upbringing.” And no one seemd to be able to answer. Of course there arg several awers. A One is that some single factor in theh_- upbringing may have been very different. For instance either sister may have had some friend who ex- erted a powerful influence. Another is that the,two women had married very different men (but of course they were probably already different to_have attracted and been attractd by such different types). ‘Another, and I think the most co- gent answer,—Is that nature given the same materials is perfectly cap- able of mixing them to produce en- tirely different result in ehlrlfter Just as well as features. \ How Often Nature Produces These Varied Results. Look about you and see how often she does it. { Two striking examples spring to my mind. First a daughter who has been everything to her widowed mother and a son who has been ut- terly selfish and conscienceless; sec- ond two sisters, one very domestic and feminine, the other just the op- posite, : Surely nature is a wonderful chem- ist and no study in the world could be more Interesting than that of her compounds. VENTILATING FANS KEEPS THEATER COOL and an- A modern. ventilating sym{, keep- ing the air in the theater changing constantly, makes Keeney's inviting to | summer ‘“movie” patrons and as a re- sult warm weather makes but little in- road on the attendance. The theater is at all times cool and comfortable and is an inviting retreat from the heat of the summer. Tonights program will include among the photoplay features, Las- ky's “The Fortunes of Fif,” with Mar- guerite Clark playing the leading role. There will be a new episode in ‘“The Mysteries of the Double Cross.” The headliner for the last three days will be Blanche Sweet in “Those Without 8in,” while on Friday and Saturday only the latest chapters in “The Ne- glected Wife,”! Pathe’s new serial, will be shown. C. M.

Cocchi told others in the building | that it was a toolroom, but tenants lin the building $aid yesterday that there was considerable mystery as to his use of it. Cocchi's shop there was on the ground floor with no. basement beneath it, P. J. Mulcahy said yes- ‘erday that no request had been made by the police for excavating under Cocchi’'s old shop, which is now a ird store, but that he was willing to bave it done if the police would re- store it.

Gron Biscr S REVELATIONS By ADELE "Why Madge Compromised 'wlth Her Conscience of an Unbecoming Hat. “Have you any preference in shape or color?” ‘The soft-vaiced saleswoman in the millinery department repeated the question befora I-realised thht: she was speaking to me. “Blue, and with a brim,” I re- turned mechanically, and as she left us Mrs, Durkee bent toward me with & worried look. s “I believe you're 1l she said. You act s0 queer, and your face hasn’t a(bit of color. Don’t you want to go into the rest room for a while? They have a nurse there, you know.” I roused myself with an effort. This was not the way to keep Mrs. Durkee from suspecting that I had received a shock. I resalved to'put down with an iron hand all my miser- able conjectures concerning the pres- énce of Dicky and “Edith,” the girl from Virginia, in the suit section from which I had just come and all my tortured remembrance of my hus- band’s voice ordering ‘“‘something stunning in & blue and white effect which will suit this lady” until .I should be alone. ! “Nonsense!” I returned, and men- tally shaok myself together. ‘“Don’t you think the hats are pretty this seagon? They had such horrible monstrosities last year.” Mrs. Durkee, evidently relieved by my manner, turned her attention to the hats. Her comments upon them ‘were 80 naive that they helped to keep my attention turned away from my own misery, and presently the grate- ful saleswoman reappeared, in her hands & hat which justified Mrs. Dur- kee’s intuition as to the girl's judg- ment. A “Perfect” Hat. “Oh-h!" Mrs, Durkee gave a little squeal of delight as the saleswoman'’s woft, deft fingers placed the hat upon my head at just the right angle. “That hat was made for you.” “I thought it would suit her face,” the saleswoman said modestly, and yet with a certain surety in her own judgment for which I liked her. And indeed the hat was about the prettiest thing in millinery I had ever seen. I was of the sailor shape which is most becoming to me, ‘and, while its crown was of a fine blue straw, its brim was of the soft chiffon which makes modern summer hats so dainty and so perishable. Its only trimming ‘was around the very top of the crown, a wreath of exquisitely shaped and tinted coraflowers. The hat suited me. Thers was no doubt about that, and as I looked at my own reflection in the mirror/a faint glow of color came - into my cheeka. Like & Widow.” ‘“What is the price?” I asked. “Forty dollars,” the girl replied. “It is one of our most expensive Parls models.” “Please take it off,” I sald. far too expensive for me.” The girl reluctantly put her hands on the hat, but Mrs. Durkee's ex- clamation stopped her. “Don’t you dare tell her to take off that hat,” she said explosively to me, with the freedom born of her long friendship with us. “It just exactly suits you. I never saw » hat fit a Tace #o well, and as for ypur sot belng able to afford it—well, that is to 1augh, as Alf says, when you considér “It is OF A WIFE GARRISON 2 § what Dicky earns, And you know how fastidious he is.

The modest income which I received from my club lectures did not warrant such an expenditure. So I turned an inflexible face toward her and said firm “I am sorry, Mrs. Durkee, but T can't afford the hat, although it is the most beautiful thing I ever saw. Show me something not so expensive, please,” to the saleswoman. Mrs, Durkes pouted, but made no further protest, and I finally pur- chased a rather striking black and white hat for a decidedly modest sum. “You'll look like a widow in that,” Mrs. Durkee commented caustically. Just in time I kept my lips from uttering the retort that was in my T feel like one.” Menu for Tomorrow BREAKFAST, Stewed Prunes Creamed - Dried Beef Flannel Cakes Coftee LUNCH .
