Another Wonder Picture ! ! “THE CLODHOPPER” With CHARLES RAY NOTE:—HelIsin a Class By Himself REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON How Jack Discloses to Madge the Oause of Katherine’s Worry. I suppose there must have been something in my face which enabled Dr. Pettit's quick intuition to grasp the fact that the name of the South American country to which he in- tended going meant something mo- mentous to me. He looked at me intently for a mo- ment, then spoke slowly. “Am I mistaken in supposing'that by some strange chance I might be bfe to help you down thers instead of up here?” Before my eyes flashed disconnect- ed phrases from my father’s letter and discussed but a few moments before. Believe I am in such grave dan- ger of death—never before have I felt the sinister menace that seems to surround me—a new influence, one that I believe to be directed against me personally—feel its invisible meshes slowly olosing—" It seemed lke a direct interposi- tion of Providence that this man, who as a physician would have ac- cess to many circles and to many places closed to the average person, and who, I knew, was anxious to serve me, was going to the very place where I needed help most. It would be a dangerous mission. There seemed something basely sel- fish to me in taking advantage of the strong feeling I knew the young physician had for me to send him into danger. Then, too, his service, even if he eacaped unscatched, would put me under a most tremendous obligation to him. Something drew my glance across the room to where Dicky was stand- ing engaged in conversation with Mrs, Watrous. I could see that he was giving her but indifferent attention, and that he was in reality watching me closely. As his eyes caught mine, I saw flash In them the old look of jealous rage which the sight of Dr. Pettit in conversation with me always brought. Had I the right to accept’ a dan- gerous service from & man of whom my husband was jealous? ‘Until Then—"" And yet—my father, an old man, ‘was in deadly danger. The piteous heart cry In his letter rang in my ears, “My dearest wish to spend my last days near you, my darling.” With a sudden swift decision, I turned to the man at my side: “When have you decided to go?” “In two weeks.” “Until then, where will you be?"” “I shall keep my office until the very last day.’ His volce betrayed his rising excitement at my questions. I rose from my chair with an effect of casualness, and as he rose also, spoke conventionally, yet with an un- dertone of meaning. “I shall try to see you before you go. I must go to Miss Sonnot now.” He bowed formally, and as I made my way to Katherine’s side, I eased my conscience with the reflection that I really had committed myself to nothing yet. I could make my de- cision when I had time to look on all sides of the question. Katherine glanced up at me with an attempt at brightness that would have deceived & casual acquaintance, but whieh I knew only masked her real feeling. Jack stood beside her, and 1 saw by the pressure of his lips and the uncompromising set of his jaw that he was in no pleasant mood. I felt a sudden hot resentment against him for 'making Katherine suffer, a distaste for the confidence he had promised to give me earlier in the evening. “Katherine, dear,” I said softly, you're looking tired. Can’t you come out with us for a few days and get 1,000 NOVELUTIES AT THE BIG ONNECTICU FAIR RAND CIRCUIT RACES Charter O0ak Park, Hartford--Sept. 3, 4,5, 6,7 OPENS LABOR DAY Host of Free Attractions, Half-Mile Midway, Auto Show, Spec- tacular Night Fireworks Displays, Big Agricultural and Farm Ex- hibits, Cattle Show, Bces and Honey, Woman's Work. $50,000 IN PURSES AND PREMIUMS.

We could drive around by your boarding place tonight and you could pick up the things you need.” “Oh, how I'd love to!” she ex- claimed, her face really lighting up as’she spoke. “But I couldn’t pos- sibly come tonight. Tomorrow and the next day there are things I pos- itively must attend to for the unit.” Why Katherine Flushed. ‘“‘Bother the unit!"* I said inelegant- ly. “You work like a slave. I've a notion to have Dicky write to his brother-in-law, Dr. Braithwaite, and protest. Surely he didn’t intend that bhis work should take every waking moment of your time!” Katherine flushed painfully with an intenseness that did not seem to me ‘warranted. I saw her gilance invol- untarily at Jack, and in the glance there was a sort of mental shrinking which astonished me. But the next moment the clue to the whole affair was put in my hands. With a sardonic half-laugh Jack turned to me. “You evidently have yet to dis- cover, Madge, that everything in Miss Sonnot’s life is subordinate to Dr. Braithwaites wishes.

In this new Triangle play by Monte M. Kat- terjohn, in which he is presented as star by Thomas H. Ince, he shows his versatility as a dancer by “stepping” his way to success in a Broadway musical revue. The scenes of the play are laid on a New England farm and in New York city. Many elaborate settings are used to represent the cab- arets and the gay restaurants that go to make up New York’'s night life. Some of the most interesting sceness are sald to take place in a theater where a musical revue is being pro- duced. Ray as the country bumpkin makes the hit of the show. Among those supporting him in the large cast are Margery Wilson. Lydia Knott, Charles French and Thomas Guise. He teaches you how to laugh and to dance ‘“The Clodhopper Glide.” BIG DOUBLE FEATURE IS FOX’S OFFERING Today is the day that brings in that big double-feature, fourteen-reel show to Fox's. Theda Bara, the immortal pportrayer of dramatic roles, returns by popular demand in one of her greatest and most successful charac- terizations, the gripping five-reel pic- ture, “Her Double Life.” Miss Bara’s work in this masterpiece of the Fox studios is worthy of especial commendation, as her part requires to a certain extent, the assumption of two entirely different personalities, but those familiar with her long rec- ord of noteworthy achievements can take this as .meaning merely an ex- tra opportunity for her to show those wonderful qualities that have made her the most prominent screen act- ress of the day. But the wonders of the present Fox program do not stop there.” As an extra added feature thére has been engaged the latest Vit- agraph Blue-ribbon feature. “Richard the Brazen,” in which are starred the capable combination, Alice Joyce and Harry Morey. Morey has an in- teresting part in this picture, that of and American milionaire with noth- ing whatever to do and plenty of time to do it in, and when involved in a business transaction in which the destinles of a certain little lady are mixed, he is mistaken for someone else, he brazenly accepts the situ- ation and carries the deal through to a successful, though quite unexpected conclusion. An exciting episode of the further adventures of that pop- ular villain, Stingaree, and a funny Fox comedy, rapid-fire and con- vulsing, are also on this big fourteen- reel special program. DAVE MARION AT THE GRAND THEATER Dave Marion’s Own Show is mak- ing a big hit at the Grand. News- paper critics as well as the thousands of patrons who have already enjoyed the show, agree that it is the best edition of the Dave Marion show that has ever viisted Hartford. Mr. Marion presents an entirely new show this vear, although of course he retains his famous characterization of ‘“Snuf- fy” the cabman. The costumes, scenery, lyrics and music are all from the pen of Marion. Urban, the fa- mous scenic painter, created the beautiful scenic effects. There are fifteen changes of scenerv during the actlon of the show, which is one of the most pretentious and expensive on the Columbia Amusement Com- ppany’s wheel this season. In addi- tion to Dave Marion, there ie a com- pany of 100 people, including twenty- five of the prettiest chorus girls to be found anvwhere. —— SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Hashing Up the Guest Not long ago I was & guest at a little week-end house party, at which one of the chief indoor diversions was discussing and making fun of the guests of the previous week. It was amusing, in a way, for our hosts were clever mimics and good satirists. They could pick people to pieces to perfection. One couldn’t help laughing. But even while ong laughed a cold shiver ran up one’s ‘back-—a shiver of premonition as to what would happen next week when someone else was the audience. Did Our Grandmothers Do It. I think this habit of talking over guests in front of other guests is one of the unfortunate tricks that people nowadays permit themselves aH too often. Perhaps our grandmothers did, too. I don’t know. I prefer to think that they didn’'t and for that matter that our grandchildren won't. T hope it's just a passing phase of bad manners. I wish we talked guests over much less, even in the privacy of our im- mediate families. It is sométimes a temptation when one has carried the guest’'s bag to the train and picked up the guest room and drawn a sigh, | halt of regret at his going, half of relief at the inevitable let down, to serve him up at the next meal for conversational sauce. Takes the Bloom Off Hospitality. In a way there is nothing wrong about it if one guards one’s tongue and says nothing untruthful or need- lessly unkind. And yet I don’t like it. Tt takes the bloom off the flower of hospitality. In some families the habit of crit- icism of outsiders, guests apd others, is second nature. The children grow up in this atmosphere of sharp, caustic criticsms, sometimes witty sometimes not. And I call it a very unhealthy atmosphere. Of course human nature is the most interesting thing in the world. To me at least. I like books with as much as pos- sible about people and as little as pos- sible about scenery, and comparative- ly little about events, in them. Also I infinitely prefer portraits to land- scapes. And one would lose a big interest out of life if one did not discuss one's friends and neighbors. But discussion—fair, analytical, kind- ly discussion—is one thing and the habit of unamiable criticism is quite another. Which do you have in your home? DID YOU EVER SEE PONCHO OF ERMINE? DAINTINESS ITSELF. Fashioned of many skins that run circularly around the cape, fringed with many tails, deep collared and closed with huge ermine buttons, this garment speaks the last word of ele- gance. STAR VAUDEVILLE AT BERLIN FAIR The management of the State Fair ito be held at Berlin, opening a week ‘from next Monday, has booked the finest of free attractions yet offered in the history of the society. The acts will be given every afternoon com- mencing at 2:30 and every evening, preceding the fireworks displayed. The Rudi Bellong company pre- sents one of the greatest sensational novelties seen in the east, combining all that is new and startling in the balancing line. A bicycle loop-the- loop is performed by an attractive young woman in apparatus which is held on the shoulders of fellow per- formers. The Waber sisters, who have an international reputation as premieres in the acrobatic world will be seen in their hair-raising ' feats. For comedy the hurl-Falls company will perform to the enjoyment of all. This team will introduce the somer- sault roller chair. The performer rolls from an elevated platform, turns a complete somersault and rolls off on his little roller chair. Burns and Burns, modern dance stars, are mak- ing their initial appearance in Con- necticut.
