You Don’t Know New York Unless You Know Her. AN ENTRANCING COMEDY SMILE WITH OLIVE REVELATIONS What Happened When M: ar & Aroused Mrs. Allis to Hage. “Now we’re ready to come down to cases,” satd Mrs. Allis I made her no redly. I couldn’t Never in my life havs I been so thor- oughly unstrung and frightened. The sudden awakening from, sleep to find the hand of the woman I had so dreaded over my mouth, the wresting of the promise not to scream from me, her contemptuous demand that I arise, throw on a bathrobe and listen to her—all these things had utterly unnerved me. Even my pride seemed to have deserted me. I was horribly afraid that in another minute I should weep helplessly. But the vision of doing a thing so humiliating to myself, so gratifying to this woman who sat opposite me, steadied me, enabled me to seize upon my sorry remnants of poise and will power and hold fast to them. I was careful not to let Mrs. Allis see any change in my demeanor, however. I felt instinctively that I could handle the situation better if she believed me to be still as panic-stricken as I had been when I first opened my eyes eyes upon her vindicative face. The Mocking Goad. “We shan’t be interrupted,” she went on, as she drew up a chair and sat down opposite me. “I've got the key to your door in my pocket,” she gave an indifferent nod over her shoulder at the outer door of my room, which according to the chairs we had taken I faced and she had at her back, “and we'll just keep our | voices below concert pitch, if you please.” She paused and gave me a long, searching, derisive glance. As I met it I began to realize just what the sensations of a mouse must be when beneath the paws of a cat. The wo- man was childishly kloating over me, prolonging the situation as long as she could. The conviction forced itself upon me that Lillian’s surmise was correct, that Mrs. Allis was addicted to the use of drugs, and that in all probability she was even now more or less under the infiuence of one. And you really thought, you and vour precious friend, that you could scare me off with a few private de- tectives scattered around her house!" she mocked at last. There was a goad in her voice which forced a reply from me. “I'm sure Mrs. Underwood thought nothing about the.matter except that she didn’t care to have her dinner dis- turbed by an outsider.” “But I Saw the Proofs.” Either the words or the carel manner in which I purposely uttered them angered the woman. “By the time I'm through with Mrs. Underwood she’ll know better than to glve dinners in honor of my husband,” ghe snarled. “Your husband!” I returned in gen- uine astonishment, for I knew that, though Robert Savarin, the guished artist whom Dicky and I had found secluded in a lonely Catskill mountain . farmhouse, had once Where Are The 'Best Shows?

MANY OTHERS Ay ATVELE distin- | RRISONY thought the woman now known as Mrs. Allis to be his wife, he had dis- covered that at the time she went through the marriage, ceremony with him she was already /legally married to another man. In fact, the knowl- edge of this duplicity was one of tho things that caused his loss of reason and his absence from the world for 16 years. “Yes, my husband!” she jibed. “He hasn’t any real proofs that I'm not, and he's too white-livered to use them if he had.” “But I saw the proofs,” I protested. “Mrs. Cosgrove showed them to me. Legally, you are no more Robert Sav- arin’s wife than I am.” I do not know why I was not warned by the glitter of the woman's eves to avoid contradicting her. My pride had been roused by her con- emptuous goading of me, and her cool assertion of her right to Robert Sav- arin angered and alarmed me on Lil- lian’s account. I felt that Harry Un- derwood’s black shadow was enough to fall between Lillian Underwood and Robert Savarin without having this ‘“croacking thing of evil” cross their path. But she didn’t leave me long doubt as to my folly in answering She leaned forward in her chair 1 saw her fingers working in her lap. “And I can tell you,” she said in a Jouder tone than she had yet used, “that by the time I get through with you your husband won't krow your face. You'll be his ‘legal wife,” she fairly spat the phrase, “but he won't be anxious to spend much time look- ing at you.” : She put her hand to a pocket in her gawn and drew forth a small bottle, her eyes gleaming the while with a iight which I knew was born of drug madness, roused by my unfortunate { words.

He's always tumbling so?" she said. around You would certainly conclude from that response that my neighbor was a most unsympathetic person, would not you? And vet, in regard to people she likes, she is far from that. But she doesn’t like that man and, so, in- stead of pitying him for his misfor- tunes (which come from the fact that he is Ve near sighted), she says unamiably that “he is always tumbling around.” 1 SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Blue Glasses. | permit themselves to wear the blue ! es is that one gets used to them % They See EKverything Those People Do Through Their Prejudice.

Tt Commnomes | “THE HONOR SYSTEM” AT FOX'S SATURDAY Only two days more elapse before “The Honor System,” the greatest achievement ever accomplished in the motion picture field, will have its for- mal opening in New Britain, at Fox's Theater. The picture, which is the masterpiece of one of the world's greatest directors, Raoul Walsh, is the first picture ever produced in which are featured three stars of the first magnitude. They are George Walsh, the man.who made the smile famous, Gladys Brockwell, the famous star of so many tip-top Fox pictures, and Mi- riam Cooper, whose recent success in “The Innocent Sinner” is but one ot many personal triumphs that this beautiful and dainty star has won for herself. “The Honor System’ most discerning critic it, “the greattst hum screen or stage. It contains a ge more vitally important to hu- manity than “The Spy.”” It is more spectacular than “The Daughter of the Gdg It is more exciting than “The Whip. “It is more thrilling than “Civ- ilization,” and greater than “The Birth of a Nation.” These are large statements, but they are all justified, as may be seen from the fact that it has been decided to keep “The Honor System” at Fox's for five days, begin- ning Sunday, whereas heretofore three days has been considered long enough for all hig pictures. _ “The Honor System” is not exag- gerated, but is purely natural, and therein lies its great appeal. The in- { cidents pictured are such as might happen to any man—indeed there have been men, and plenty of them, wha have been condemned to long | terms in prison for crimes they never committed. And no one knows the untold suffering they have undergone while serving their time. This is one of the topics touched upon in the pic- ture, but it is not done in any re- volting or gruesome manner, It is simply truth. On account of the extraordinary na- ture and stupendous magnitude of “The Honor System,” the Sunday | night prices will be increased. » is called by the who have seen n story ever told | | | | i i { ELVIDGE-BLACKWELL AT FOX'S THEATER Today brings in again that popular ! World player, June KElvidge, and her equally popular co-star, Carlyle Black- Well, in their latest master- piece, “Youth.” Miss Elvidge has been’ screen gaining a steadily increasing corps of admirers in New Britain, ever since her initial appearance here in “The Whip,” and her peculiar elusive type | of beauty, tagether with her unique { interpretation of dramatic roles, ren- der her a totally different class of ar- tist from the average screen star. “Youth” is just what the name im- plies, a story of hot-blooded, red- blooded, fiery youth. The escapades of the youth in question, Brian Good- win, will bring chuckles to the lips of every lover of good, clean action and comedy. He is the son of a mil- { lionaire, and has all the money in the | world to spend, but gets rid of it in | riotous living, and winds up in the | police cour His father bails him aut, and sends him to a construction camp on the Tennessee river, gvhere a huge dam is under constructi Ana there he meets his fate in a most as- tonishing way, for she is a doctor—or doctress, if the term can be applied— and is called in to bring him out of the | delerium tremens. Certainly this 1s | anything but a promising beginning for a romance. But romance there is, and' adventure, too, and plenty of it. Pearl White, in the latest chapter of “The Fatal Ring,” goes through more appalling experiences than can be im- agined. Of course she gets out of them, but only to find herself on the verge of one more horrible than the preceeding. Among the other ecxcel- Jent features is the latest issue of the Pathe News. | BIG IMPROVEMENTS AT BERLIN GROUNDS Patrons at the Connecticut State Agricultural society’s 65th annual fair at Berlin, September 10 to 15, day and’ night, number of permanent improvements made in the grounds for their com- fort and convenience.
