TODAY LAST TIME “The Goldenldiot™ REVELATIONS By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Fears Mrs. Allis Not Be “Bluffing.” I caught my breath in a gasp of bewildered terror when from my bed where she 1a% bound, Mrs. Allis spoke of the unpleasant consequences which would descend upon my father's head if Katherine Sonnot carried out her avowed intention of sending to Bellevue for drug treat- ment the woman who had tried to throw acid in my face, and had only been prevented from doing so by Katherine’s presence of mind. I had thought the secret of Robert Gordon’s identity, as my father, was known only to the little group of per- sons iIntimately connected with me, Dicky, Lillian and Harry Underwood, Jack Bickett and Katherine Sonnot. Grace Draper had learned of it, but she was down in South America with Harry Underwood. And Allen Drake —the mysterious man who had tried to get my father’s address from me— was, I was sure, a government agent of some sort, and in no way could his affairs possibly be known to such a person as Mrs. Allis. The fact that this woman, who, I was sure, was connected with enter- prises that bordered upon crime, | should know aught of my father held e 0 X S for me a menace other than the mere | - fear of serious trouble for him. It i strengths1ed the secret terror con-' t UN., MON. & TUES. cerning my father which I had long felt, the haunting fear that he, too, was an offender against the law. My unreasoning terror was such that I would have begged the woman to tell me what she meant had not GRAND HARTFORD ALL WEEK STONE and PILLARD with the “SOCIAL MAIDS” MATINEE DAILY ANBURY FAIR 0CT.1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 6, 1917 May iYOU’LL SEE IT!

RUNDLE, Sec'y, Danbury, Ct. Katherine caught my eye and warned me with finger on lips to be silent, and to leave the management of Mrs. Allis to her. “It's no use your signalling her,” the mocking voice wernt on. “She knows what I mean, knows if I only want to give the word, her dear old daddy will dance an air hornpipe down there in South America. Katherine bent down to her, looked steadily in her eyes. “Whether Mrs. Graham is afraid of what you may do or not,’ she said, icily, ‘“please remember that I have no reason to fear you. And I promise you that if you scream or attempt any mischief while we are out of this room, I will deal with you as I would with any other insane person I had to subdue. Please come outside, Madge. I want to talk to you un- disturbed.” Tll Have to Know the Truth.” Her voice and manner were as un- disturbed as if she had just uttered the most commonplace of trivialities. I did not understand the meaning of the vague threat she had uttered, but cvidently Mrs. Allis did, or she made no protest. But her eyes, sullen, vindicative, followed us to the door. If looks could kill, Katherine and I would have been dead women be- fore we reached it. Outside in the hall Katherine shut the door and faced me, her eyes troubled. “I'm sorry to quiz you, Madge, but T'll have to know the truth. Is it true, what she intimated, that you | know she could cause your father' capture and execution is she wished “I am utterly bewildered and terri- fied, Katherine,” I returned. “I don't | know anything really about my | father's affairs except that he writes | me he is in very great danger. I| really have no right to infer that his work is anything discreditable, but | I am very much afraid it may be, be- | cayse he is so secretive about it, and | from the fact that a man I believe | is a government agent, is trying to find him.” “But do you believe this woman knows anything about him, as she says?” persisted Katherine. “I never dreamed that the had ever seen or heard of him until she spoke,” | I answered truthfully, “and I haven't | the slightest idea how she could know that I am his daughter. But, oh! “THE GOLDEN IDIOT" | LYCEUM’S BIG SHOW Bryant Washburn, in his latest pic- | ture, “The Golden Idiot,” made quite a hit with the patrons who witnessed the picture yesterday. The story is a romance of a vagabond and a rich girl. One of the amusing incidents during the feature is the slegged dog, “Pod,” who has a small role in the | picture. During the filming of Bry-| ant Washburn, a bottle of c)v.am‘.*t pagne secured for use in a road- ! house scene disappeared. An ex-| haustive search of the huge studio, failed to reveal it. An hour later® “Pod,” the slegged canine actor, was | heard smoring beneath a table. There beslde him was the wine bottle broken. The d0g was in the sublime realms of a.‘‘Champagne jag. For Friday and Saturday the Lyceum presents Willlam Desmond in *“Paws of the Bear.” This is a story of plot and counter plot in which the in- trigue of Russia’s diplomatic corps is pitted against the shrewdness of our own government’s secret service. On the same bill will be the famous Tri- angle comedy, ‘“‘Dangers of-a Bride." MISS HOLLOWAY WINS | OWN WAY IN WEST When “The Fighting Trail,” Great- er Vitagraph’'s great mountain serial, opens at Fox’s theater on Monday, lo- cal .photoplay lovers will meet an Eastern girl, Miss Carol Holloway, who, in a few months, has conquered the Far West. That is, by her cour- age and daring in perilous places, her remarkable riding and 'her ability to withstand hardship, she has won the admiration of the hard-riding cow- punchers and a place in the front row of screen heroines. Miss Holloway was born in Wil- liamstown, Mass., and was educated in an exclusive girls’ school in Frank- lin, Mass.

She played with the Lubin, Lasky, Fine Arts and Ameri- can companies before Jjoining Vita- graph and her work in “The Fighting Trail” has made a permanent star of the pioneer picture producing organ- ization. In “The Fighting Trail,” Miss Hol- loway takes more chances than ever were taken before by a screen hero- ine and during the making of the picture she was injured several times. Bruises and cuts, however, did not in- terfere with her work and it was this display of grit and gameness that made Miss Holloway beloved by the members of “The Fighting Trail” company. ‘ LAST SHOWING OF “THE HONOR SYSTEM” ‘Tonight will close the exceptionally successful run of Raoul Walsh’s su- preme photo-masterpiece, “The Honor System,” at Fox's theater.

Katherine took hold of my shoulder and shook me ever so slightly. “Try and have a little sense, Madge,” she said, with a trace of ir- ritation. “If this woman really knows anything, what guarantee have you that she won't tell it as soon as it suits her purpose to do so, whether we let her go or not? And I'm prac- tically certain that she’s bluffing, that she really knows nothing of any con- sequence. No, my dear, she's too dangerous to be turned loose, and I want your word of honor that you won’t intgrfere by word or look with my management of her. Believe me, child, I've seen this type of woman before and know what to do. Have I your word?"” “Of course, Katherine,” I returned wearily. But there was a cold little fear at my heart that Mrs. Allis was not “bluffing” as much as Katherine thought.

Never before has there been seen in New Britain a picture of such vital intensity, such gripping force, such appealing naturalness, and such wholesome humour as this greatest of all productions, “The Honor System,” and with its passing goes the opportunity of seeing an ar- tistic, monumental achievement tha.. will never perish from the memory of the world. Ranking with the very best that have ever been made, it can be truthfully said to be superior to all of them, for it is aclear, mirror- tise on the thread-bare question, can a woman keep a secret. It is a story of the consequences which follow one woman’s failure to do so. On the same program will be shown the latest chapter of the wild-fire serial “The Fatal Ring,”’ in which the fear- less Pearl White gets herself into more trouble than she knows how to handle, this time. Its the most ex- citing episode yet. Another popular feature will be the two-reel comedy, “Police,” one of the funniest pictures that Charlie Chaplin ever made. BIG BILL FARNUM IN SCREEN SPECTACLE Fox will present re, “The William dard pictu the local IFox theater for three days starting next Sunday night. Mr. Fox says of this picture: “I believe a new standard has been set in motion pic- ture production—a standard which, going further than the thrill and spectacular in which ‘The onqueror,” abounds, affords a new and higher plane for dramatic exposition through the medium of the screen. Given Henry Christeen Warnack’s engross- ing, virile story, and the enormous fa- cilities afforded by the unlimited re- sources of the Fox producing organ- ization, it needed but the master hand of R. A. Walsh, the famous Fox di- rector, who staged “The Honor Sys- tem,” to make of the conqueror a photo-dramatic masterpiece. And that's just what Mr. Walsh has done!” “The Conqueror” was photographed in California, Texas, and Mexico. Six months were consumed in the mak- ing, and on the production Mr. Fox spent about $300,000. Eight thousand people were employed. Among these were 450 Sioux Indians secured from the Department of the Interior from FM_.M,_ SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Too Confounded Content The other day I wrote about the person who always regrets any choice as soon as it is made and feels cer- tain that he should have liked the other road better. At the other end of the tempera- nient scale is the person who always fecls that what he has done was the right and wisest thing. The Other Lot Became Sour Grapes. For instance, a friend of Mine built a house in the west part of a.certain suburb. He wanted to get a lot on the castern side but the price was too high and so he took the other. He was showing me his place the other day and he said, “I'm so glad we did not get that other lot, the one we wanted . You know it's so much quieter hcre. There's a lot of traffic down that street. I don't believe we would have like it at all.’ That is the way he always feels about any choice he makes-—that the thing he didn’t take probably wasn’t worth having anyway. There are lots of people like that. And there always have been. We have good reason to know that they existed at least as far back as Aesops’ time. That Bland Satisfaction With Them- selves and Their Possessions. Of course it is a very fortunate state of mind. If you cannot have just what vou like, just like what you have. Teople with that bland in themselves and their possessions are rather pleasanter companions on the whole than the discontented people who. are always Wishing they could have or do some- thing else. ‘And such perfect contentment must be very pleasant for the people who . feel it-—if they really do feel it and don’t just ape 1t. Ang yet I'll confess I don’t wholly likt it. 1t irritates me. Pcrhaps because I'm envious people so fortunately endowed. of Such Contentment Comes From Turn- ing Onc’s Back on Facts. But partly, I think, because such contentment is based on the habit of self deception; on the habit of not facing any facts that one doesn't like. It outrages truth, it stultifies self analysis. 10 know oneself as nearly as possible is one of the two most important things in life, I don’t wholly like people who are so all fired satisfied. it is one of 718 W, W W VTR, VY A ATGTY (RO TY STy~ 2 R AR AESSTPE CESREEAA I CRCO, ST A TR 117 S i | WSt M emm—— e o m—rd 5 LIGGETT'S Sugar Coated Jordan and Jordaneite 27¢ PER POUND Their Regular Price In All Stores After This Sale Will Be 33c a Lb.
