NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 14\, N, ¥y e 1917. . Bessie Barriscale ‘« ORR ; mMTRUNELLE IN GHOST OF ‘ oLD MORROW” | FARNUM WELCOMED BACK BY FOX CROWD | It was a jovous welcome, greeted Dustin Farnum last night when he returned from his long, dreary absence frqm New Britain movies. And its certain that he has been in the minds of his admirers all the time he was away, for the first appearance of his name upon the screen was the signal for an outburst of applause such as is seldom given to a motion-picture performer. In “Durand of the Bad Lands,” Farnum takes us back a few years to .the time when the West was wild and wolly, and shows us the life and ad- ventures of a ‘regular” bad man. There are a number of unusually clever characters in the picture, in- cluding a revival-preacher who acts as nurseto the three children that Durand, the bandit, has adopted. Maude, a comedy mule, and Mucilage, an obliging cow, play rather promi- nent parts in the production, and do it well. As for the story itself, it is, in parts, slightly:reminiscent of “The Virginian,” but in many points is superior, particularly as far as orig- inallity s concerned. Charlie Chaplin makes his weekly visit to Fox's in “The Bank,” and is as laughable as ever. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, in ‘“Tootsie,” almost rival Charli¢ for first honors in the fun-producing department. ‘A most interesting issue of the Ford weekly, showing in detail the making and blowing of expensive cut glass is also on the program. Tomorrow’s feature will be the queen of styles and beauty, Valeska Suratt, in her latest picture, “Wife Number Two.” FROHMAN FEATURE that House O’Hits HIT AT KEENEY'S First nighters at Keeney’s were en- thusiastic over the latest Frohman offering, “The Valentine Girl,” the feature of the photoplay program for the first half of the current week. Their reports should attract large crowds to the theater tonight and to- morrow night. Marguerite Clark, styled as America’s most popular screen star, plays the leading role in the piece. P The feature for the last three days of the week will be the Lasky pro- duction, “The Girl at Home,” Vivian Martin and Jack Pickford playing the leads. Tomorrow and Thursday there will be a new chapter in “The Voice on the Wire” serial while on Friday and Saturday ‘“The Neglected Wife” will be continued. “BAUBS OF BLUE RIDGE” AT LYCEUM Bessie Barriscale in “Baubs of Blue Ridge” at the Lyceum, was a distinct ‘surprise to those who saw it yesterday. She has always appeared in “society” roles, but “Baub” is a departure from her past character- izations. She is a care free girl of the mountains, amid its beautiful scenery and traditions. A Black Cat story, entitled “Our Boys” proved to be a second feature. The action takes place in a country school, and many chuckled as the story proceeded to depict many achool tricks of which they probably joined in years ago. THEATER HARTFORD Tel C. 1026. ALL WEEK .

James E. “Blutch” is known from coast to coast for the well-balanced troupes which he has collected from season to season, and this year’s company is no exception to the rule. Patrons of the Grand are well ac- quainted with the ability of Mr. Ward and little need be said of his work, which is up to its first-class standard. Harry Coleman is the runner-up for honors with the star. Stella Wood is again the leader for the females, and Stella still retains the ‘“pep” of past seasons. Other girls meriting appre- ciation for their efforts are Elsie Bos- tel, Esther Delauer and Evelyn Bur- nett. Hunter, Chick and Hunter, a singing trio, are compelled to work overtime due to the *“hand” given their singing numbers. As would be expected the costumes are bright, new and neat, and the scenery is adéquate. Several changes have been made by tne theater own- ers this season, the ushers this season being girls. At the outset, the sea- son’of 1917-18 has every indication of establishing new records.

Mrs. Allis—for hers was the slen- der, veiled figure that had accosted me—slipped away and was lost in the crowd almost before I realized what it was she had said to me. Rabert Savarin was assisting me into the taxi when the woman who once had been his wife darted to my other side and murmured her mocking message in my ear. I felt his hand tremble violently against my arm, and I put down my own agitation with a Tesolute hand, that I might the better calm his. “Please don’‘t mind her,” I said in a low tone. “You see, she isn't real- ly dangerous; she's simply trying to annoy and frighten me.” “What’s the matter?” Mrs. Durkee shrilled anxigusly from her seat in the taxi. “Nothing,” her son rejoined short- ly. “Let’s get out of this,” he added in a low tone to Mr. Savarin . The artist nodded, and in another minute the taxi door had closed upon us and the curlous, speculative face of the starter had been left behind. “Wasn’t that awful—'" Mrs Durkee began, then stopped so suddenly that I knew her son had found. some silent method of conveying to her the inadvisability of saying anything con- cerning the strange woman. “Isn’t this the most awful old taxi?"” she said in the next breath, and I smiled to myself in the darkness at the delicious naivete of the little woman. The note of pride in ‘her ‘voice revealed the 'fact that she be-| lieved herself to be a past mistress of diplomacy in having sa quickly changed her words to ones so in- nocuous. I was grateful to her, too, for the bit of unconscious humor steadied me, enabled me to tass the conversa- tional ball back to her. “She Is So Original.” “It is rather uncomfortable,” 1 agreed, ‘‘but we’ll be on the avenue soon, and then we shan’t mind it.” “I wonder what Mrs. Underwood will have for dinner tonight? babbled Mrs. Durkee, who is always childish- ly interested in food. ‘She gives the mast wonderful dinners!” she turned her face toward Robert Savarin. “And they are so unlike the usual thing Menu for Tomorrow BREAKFAST Plumbs Cereal with Milk Hashed Green Peppers Toast Coffee. .LUNCH Corn Fritters Baker Potatoes Blackberry Roly Poly .

Pinkham'’s Vegetable Com- pound is a dependable root and herh medicine. It has made a place for itself among the great mass of people, because thousands of sick women have tried it and proved that it will accompuish all that is claimed for it. Nothing unfavorable can honestly be said about it. It does not contain in- jurious drugs. It is a root and herb remedy founded upor a physician’s prescription, and is manufactured for a specific purpose. That it accom- plishes this purpose is proved by thousands and thousands of convinc- ing testimonials.—advt. ’ Househol The nutritive value of food may be increaised or destroyed, according as it Is well cooked or otherwise. The good cores and parings of ap- ples used for canning should be saved and cooked to make apple juice. Notes Sea moss made into blanc-mange with milk and flavored ‘with peach leaves is both delicious and nutritious. A cake will beat up more quickly if the butter and sugar are left to stand for a half hour before beating. ‘When boiling meat such as mutton or fowl any surplis broth may be canned in sterilized jars to use later. People who have to use trolley straps much should use gloves even in the summer with the idea of avoid- ing a few extra germs. ‘When pastry is left over after mak- ing a pie make tiny tarts and fill with ‘here every one else does. I never know what to expect when I go there. She is so original. No one else would dare do the things she does.” There was genuine admiration in the little woman's voice, and 1 knew that she meant no hint of disparage- ment of Lillian in her last words. But Robert Savarin evidently remembered Mrs. Durkee's cattishness toward Mras, Underwood at the time the pistol shot crashed through our window and Lillian took charged of things. His vaice was icily incisive as he replied: “Probably because no one else could do them so well.” I heard Mrs. Durkee give a little gasp of surprise. / “O-0-h!" she said, prolonging the word, and there was more than sur- prise in the utterance. I saw that in a flash the 1little woman had grasped the fact that Robert Savarin was in lave with Lillian, and I was sincerely sorry, for I knéw that she wouldn’t look upon the affair with the sympathy I had for Mr. Savarin and Lillian. The Second Taxl, Alfred Durkee came to the rescue of the situation. “I hope that Dicky-bird can get there tonight,” he sald cordially—I had explained Dicky's absence by re- peating, Verbatum the tanatlizing message he had sent to me, but I had done it in such a manner that I flat- tered myself neither of the Durkees suspected anything amiss. I was con- vinced, hawever, that Robert Savarin understood the situation perfectly. I'm sure he’ll be there if it be a possible thing,” I returned’ truthfully enough, for, I kyew. that no matter how angry Dicky \might be at me, he would think twice before spoiling Lillian’s dinner by a last-minute ab- sence. “Well, we will find out soon,’”! young Durkee returned, e are.” The taxi drew up in front of the old-fashioned house, two floors of which Lillian had transformed into pretty “for -a mast original and wonderfully com- fortable home, and We all alighted.

Then put on a few drops of turpentine and roll it up. Leave it rolled for about fifteen minutes, .then wash out with, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry in the sun. A new method of removing ink stains on linen is as follows: Cut a ripe tomato in half and rub the ink stain vigorously with the tomato. The stain will disappear when the linen is washed. To clean chiffon, allow it to stand in a weak solution of cold, soapy wa- ter a few minutes, aftéer which shake it up and down without rubbing. Rinse well, dry and iron with a mod- eratelly hot iron. Rain spots on cloth can be removed if you will wring a soft towel out of water and lay it over the garment, then iron with a warm iron. If this process is repeated all over the gar- ment, the stains will disappéar and the garment will be proof against future rain spots. ‘When you make bread, put 2 quan- tity of flour in the bread pan and set the sponge in the middle of it.

To mend a zinc pail, take putty, put a small piece on the inside and a large piece on the outside of the pail over the hole. Press well together and place in the open air until per- fectly dry. The pail will then hold water as good as new. To remove mud stains on black dresses, rub a raw potato on the marks. For others, wash the spots with water in which has been dis- solved a little carbonate of soda. ‘When rubbing any material, always put a pad of linen undemg&th ———————— Theatergoers and Women Readers e e e AGRICULTURE DEPA RTMENT TEACHES HOUSEWIV ES ART OF CANNING In this picture may be seen a de- monstration in canning in Washington under the direction of Miss Ransome, assistant to Miss Mary Thurston, demonstrating agent of the depart- ment of agriculture.

The monument is sixty feet square at the base and sixty feet high. Through a change in the line, built for the purpose of eliminating wun- necessary mileage and cutting down the grade, the Ames monument was left standing alone nearly five miles from the new tracks. ~The ames monument shown in the cut, with a picture of Oakes Ames, is unique among monuments. It stands on one of the most lofty eminences ever chosen for such a pur- pose and commemorates the name of the men whose constructive genius carried the first railway over the Rocky mountains, a feat whigh at the time held the admiration of the world. » OITY EMPLOYES RAISE CROPS.

I want to say that they work fine, always curing the attacks that usual- ly come on as the result of over- work. I am either on my feet con= stantly or sitting in a ¢ramped posi-ws tion and I think that had something to dogwith it. My back has become so lame that I have hardly been able to bend over and it has pained me so constantly, even after retiring that I had little rest. During .an attack when I got up mornings, I was sore and stiff across my back and the pains didn’t let up at all until I had worked several hours. I get Doan’s Kidney Pills at the first sign of thew trouble now. Before I use a box, the pains are all gone and my back is strong again.” 60c, at all dealers.
