MASQUE OF LIFE ANITA STEWART] 7--GIGANTIC ACTS--7 SEE IT SURE! TOMORROW REVELATIONS How Madge Champloned Lillian Against Mrs. Durkee. At the crash of the glass from the impact of the bullet fired by some un- known marauder, Dicky reached up quickly, switched off ‘the electric light which had betrayed our position to the person outside, and with his other arm swept me into the living room, where the curtains were so heavy that it was impossible far any one outside to locate the position of those within the room. “Are you hurt, Madge,” he demand- ed anxiously, looking me,over careful- 1v, while Robert Savarin and the Durkees rushed anxiously over to us. From the stairs came the sound of footsteps, Lillian’s groping her way hurriedly down, guided only by the dim light from the hall above. And Katie's shrill scream, mingled with Jim’s deeper exclamation from the kitchen signalled their excited rush into the living room. ,'Not a bit!” I gasped. ‘“Are you I had hard work getting the words out, far my lips were stiff. My knees were trembling also, so that T sat down as quickly as I could in the nearest chair. But fortunately I was able to disguise my nervousness so that in the confusion no one noticed it. “Me! oh, sure! I'm mortally wound- ed,” Dicky returned, trying to laugh, but making rather a dismal failure of it. “Dicky! stop that, and tell me exact- ly what happened,” demanded Lillian, who had come into the room. I saw with a little thrill of pleasure that it was the old Lillian back again, the imperious brainy woman, who, when- ever there was need for her, domin- ated the situation. “Don’'t know exactly,” weturned Dicky, wha, I have learned, generally masks intense nervousness or appre- hension with flippancy. ‘Here is the scenario. Wife and I talking peace- fully in hall. Shadows silhouetted on glass of hall door. Suddenly crash of glass, pistol shot, bullet goes behind Madge into wall. Person outside prab- ably bad shot.” & ‘‘How Do You Know?” “I wouldn’t be too sure of that,” re- turned Lillian quietly. “It's rather a difficult matter to fire at shadows. But don’t you think, you men woauld better slip out the back door and make sure that the woman isn't still lurking somewhere about? I'm pretty sure she isn’t, she probably beat it as soon as she fired the pistol, but it won’t do any harm to satisfy your- selves.” The four men Robert Savarin, Alfred Durkee, my husband and Jim, Jooked rather sheepishly at each other and then hastened out to search the grounds. I knew that they were all a bit chagrined that they had waited to have the way to action pointed out by a woman, and I suspected that Dicky was at least a bit irritated also, and wondered secretly if Lillian, farce- ful and brilllant as she was, might not at times carry her propensity . for managing things a bit too far. It was a certainty that one of the men would have thought of the necessity of searching the grounds before very long, and it appeared to me far the moment that it would have been better if Lilllan had waited for their sug- gestion. I think Mrs. Durkee shared my feel- ing to an even greater degree, for there was a touch of asperity in her manner as she turned to Lillian. ,'How do you know it was a woman who fired the shot?” she demanded. A wave of campunction for my criti- cal thought of my .friend rolled over me as I saw Lillian start and flush in embarrassment at Mrs. Durkee’s tone. ‘With her quick perception she saw at once the Teason for the other woman’s disapproval, and I knew her well enough to recognize the humiliation that came to her with the suspicion N OF A WIF that she had been tao officious in send- ing the men out doors. After all, T said to myself, there is but one Lillian Underwood in the world, and there have been so many situations which she was forced to dominate because there Was no one else to do it, that she might surely be forgiven for a little excess of authority under the stress of excitement. Robert Savarin Speaks. She Was standing by the lounge where I sat, and I put up my hand and drew her down beside me as I an- swered Mrs. Durkee for her. “It was a woman's face that little Marion saw looking in upon her, and there is a woman who has a griev- ance against me and has threatened me Wwith revenge.” Lillian tightened her grasp upon my hand, and I knew she‘understood my unexpressed championship, “A woman threatened you! perfectly thrilling! When? Yau must tell me about it!" 1 was in a quandary. I did not feel like relating Mr. Savarin’s private af- fairs to Mrs. Durkee, and yet this thing had happened while she was my guest and I had to give her some ex- planation. I was cattishly feminine enough to Wish to tell her just a¥little as posstble, for while I had mentally criticised Lilllan myself I was incon- sistent enough to resent Mrs. Durkee's antagonistic attitude toward her. “While we were in the Catskills,” T compromised, ‘“a woman who was staying at the Cosgrove farmhouse with us tried to steel the collection of Mr. Savarin’s paintings owned by his sister, Mrs. Cosgrove. I happened to overhear her plan and was able to thwart her in her design. So she naturally felt very bitter toward me, and threatened revenge.” “But how do you know it was she?" Mrs. Durkee persiged. “You have my permission to tell the real story. Mrs. Graham,” said the deep voice of Robert Savarin from the doorway, and a little malicious gleam of feminine triumph in the eyes of Mrs. Durkee showed that she under- stood and relished my discomfiture.

And of how few people can you say t! It is astonishing to me to see how many promises are not only broken, but meant to be broken in the busi- ness world. I Thought Business Men Were Squarer Than Women, I always knew there were crooks in business but I had an idea that among honest business men much more square dealing and straight forward- ness than women are used to would be found. But as I see more of busi- ness I.find that there are a host of business men who would want to fight you if you called them dishonest and Vet you are constantly making prom- ises which they are not, and know they are not, going to keep. A man I know has been building a house. He expected to be in it at a A month later I met “What Man After Man Failed Him. “Nothing,” he said, “That's the trouble. Man after man has promised SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON A Sign for Your Door. me faithfully to come to work or to deliver goods on a certain day, and has failed me. Some of them were not to blame but others never meant to do what they sald. I'm out of pa- tience with them. If they can’t do a thing they can’t, but they might have the decency to say so.” Now when a man makes a promise and something comes up unexpectedly that makes it impossible for him to keep it one understands and forgives him. (Though one keeps one's high- est respect and admiration for the man who overcomes such impossibili- ties). ‘What Else is a Broken Promise. But when a man makes a promise, and with no justification of changed conditions, does not keep it I think that man deserves to be called a short and ugly term. For what else is a promise that one does not intend to keep but a lie? I should think a reputation for be- ing faithful to one’'s promises would be a business asset worth much gold. “We never broke a promise yet,”— wouldn't ghat be an impressive sign for a business man to hang over his door. No charge for the suggestion. If anyone has the right to adopt it he may have it and more than welcome. I'm glad there are such men in the world. ~—— OPERA PLAYERS WIN FAVOR AT KEENEY’S Keeney patrons have an opportuni- ty to enjoy some real opera this week, E. Morrew and company, who formerly played in “Cavaleri Rusti- cana”, belng booked for the entire week in a program of selections from high class musical shows. They made a ost favorable impression on Mon- day’s audiences and judging from the advertising given them by ‘“first nighters” they will be popular all week. The photoplay program tonight will be topped by the Lasky picturization of the novel, “The Cost of Hatred”, with Kathlyn Williams and Theodore Roberts in the leading roles. Wed- nesday and Thursday there will be a new episode in “The Voice on the ‘Wire” and on Friday and Saturday the thirteenth chapter in ‘“The Neg- lected Wife” will be a part of the pro- gram. During the last three days of the week the film feature will be an adaptation of F. Hopkinson Smith's great story, ‘“The Tides of Barnegat'’, Blanche Sweet leading the company. HARLAN A HIT AT LYCEUM THEATER The people of New Britain surely appreciated the management of the Lyceum’'s effort to show the city’s popular leading man of the Lyceum Players in a 5-re¢l feature photoplay, ‘“Cheerful Givers.” Mr. Harlan sup- ports Bessie Love in this picture and he proved to his admirers in New Britain that he is just as clever in the silent drama as on the talking stage. This evening is the last chance for his friends to see him. On the same bill is the Lyceum Weekly, showing current events of the day. “The Secret Kingdom,” A “Black Cat” story and many others. The Lyceum offers a complete change of program tomorrow, headed by Amer- ica’s most popular comedian, Ralph Herz, in a mysterious comedy, ‘“The Mystery of Number 47" and as the Lyceum is noted for using the best there is in photoplays you can be assured the balance of the program will live up to its reputation of qual- ity and quantity. Next week Friday and Saturday the Lyceum shows everybody's favorite, Wm. S. Hart in “Wolf Larry.” No advance in prices. Also the coolest theater in town. LAST SHOWING OF “MASQUE OF LIFE” One more opportunity will be given to New Britain theatergoers to wit- ness the film marvel of the age, “The Masque of Life.” The motion plc- | ture that has created more comment in this city than any other entertain- ment ever brought here will have its final showing at Fox’s tonight. In- tensely realistic, full of thrills, and made up of some of the most won- derful color-photography conceiv- able, this picture has been the source of astonishment and unique enter- tainment to the thousands that have already been fortunate enough to have seen it and is destined to re- main in their memories as the pic- ture beautiful and unusual. Although “The Masque of Life” is essentially spectacular and sensational, there is never-the-less a strong story running through it, the tale of a powerful love that was temporarily thwarted by a throne. Evelyn, ‘the charming heroine of the piece, takes her life in her hands all through the picture, performing deeds of unheard-of dar- ing with a carelessness that makes a spectator gasp for breath. Her battle with the infuriated chimpanzee at the top of a 360 foot chimney, for the possession of a stolen infant stands alone in the annals of mo- tion picture achievement. Although replete with thrills, the ‘“Masque of Life” has many beautiful scenes, of one of which in particular, special mention should be made. This is the allegorical pantomine, in which the entire Corps de Ballet of the La Scala Opera house in Milan executes many highly artistic dances. The cost of production of the picture is estimated at over a half million dollars. Tomorrow’s feature will be the latest and best release of that daint- jest of all screen favorites, Anita Stewart, in “The Message of the Mouse.” It tells in a thoroughly en- tertaining way, of love, romance, and political intrigue, and Miss Stewart is given remarkable opportunity for the display of newly cultivated talents. Among the other feature's will be a new Stingaree picture, a two-reel Fox comedy, and the latest edition of the American News Weekly.
