I had promised ta eat his farewell luncheon with him, and he had asked me to tell him how he could help me in South America. But I said to myself that I must sternly repress any in- dication on his part of injecting any- thing resembling sentiment into the situation. He helped me into the taxicab, took a seat beside me, and gave the direc- tion to the starter. Then he folded his arms tightly over his chest and looked straight in front of him all the way to the restadrant. Who's at Fault? It 1 had not known better, I would have thought that I had mortally of- fended him in some way, for he made only the most perfunctory replies to the few casual observations I made. Once I had it upon my lips to ask if I had offended him, but something warned me to_leave the question un- asked. Absurd as it seemed, his whole demeanor was that of a man fighting down some hidden emotion that threatened to overwhelm him, As we entered the restaurant the head waiter, evidently recognizing the physiclan came forward. “I telephoned for luncheon,” Dr. Petitt. “Ah, ves, way.” He turned us over to a subardin- | ate, who led up past the tables near | us, into the main dining room. I naturally thought we would be scated there, but the man led us through | this room and seated us at a table cosily enconsed in an unobestrusive alcove. | Why Madge Apologized. | “Luncheon shall be served immed- | said Dr. pettit.

I believed, had deliberately planned the situation, “Dr. Pettit,” I said, and at my tone, his head came up as if I had flicked him with a whip, “you must know that I cannot possibly stay here. I am surprised that you should think sa meanly of me as to imagine that you could bring me to so private a table as this.” He turned so white that I was terrified for fear he'might faint. But his eyes were. like blazing coals as they caught and held mine. “Mrs. Graham, he said, and there was a note in his voice that I had never heard before, a note that terrified me, ‘‘you will kindly believe me when I tell you that I had no idea the waiter was going to bring us to this alcove. I gave my order by telephone, and asked for a table in a secluded corner, for I thought that perhaps you might not care to dis- cuss the thing about which you wished to talk to me within hearing of others. He must have thought I meant this alcove table. And now if you will accept my escort back to the taxi- cab I need not intrude my unwelcome presence on you any longer.” 1 caught my breath in surprise, as 1 looked at him, and listened to his staccato utterances. I had known Dr. Pettit as a stern, silent man, but I had never dreamed that he had the capacity for such wrath as he was exhibiting. It was as if an entire stranger to me had just stepped into the room. And yet T knew that I must apolog- for the shameful suspicion I had just voiced, and which I now saw was en- tirely unwarranted. Truth from his face, his eyes, if ever I saw it in a human countenance.

VIRGINIA PEARSON AT FOX’S TODAY A truly remarkable picture is “When False Tongues Speak,” the big five-act feature of the present Fox program, in which that beautiful southern girl, Virginia Pearson, has the leading role. It is a vital story of the evil that people do, sonmie ma- liciously, others thoughtlessly, by giving too free a rein to their tongues, and letting their imeaginations rule them, instead of the charitable im- pulses that every ordinary mortal feels from time to time. Miss Pear- son is called upon to exercise her dramatic ingenuity more in ‘False Tongues” than in any other picture in which she has recently appeared, but the results have certainly more than justified the extra efforts which she must have put into her work. An- other item of unusual interest on the same program is the second install- ment of the gripping new serial, “The Fighting Trail.”” For thrills and “pep,” this continued picture has them all beat. In addition there is & funny Drew comedy ,and a number of other high class and superior films. ize to him, that I owed him reparation , in the being! "apoke ; o News For Theatergoer: ~—— A i Scene from “Jack and the Beanstalk” e Which Opens at Fox’s Tomorrow Afternoon. “JACK AND THE BEANSTALK” HERE Were you ever a child? Do you remember how you to sit by the fire on cold stormy nights, at the feet of someone who read to you from a big flat book? She told you all the marvels of the world, and all the dreams that are too happy to be realized in the world. And you listened, rapt! And when she would turn a page, you would jump to your feet at once, and put your hand on her arm and ask in your childish treble: *“May I see the picture?” Then she would show you a wonderful thing of red and yellow and green and blue, which contained all the fairies of the uni- verse and the giants and dragons and dwarfs. And you would look at it in awe, and whisper to her, wish there was a picture of the whole story don’t you?" Like the hero of the story to which you listened, your wish has now come true. You can see a picture of the whole story—a picture filled with all the elusive charm and mystery which pervaded the reading of the story on that cold stormy night. The genius of a score of men has perfected the moving picture process that you might see your favorite tale in life; and the master mind of Willlam Fox used has discovered that you want to see ; this tale and has transplanted it to the realm of screenland. Jack, the Princess, the Giant, and even the titanic beanstalk are there before you, tangible things. Yes, you can at last see “Jack and the Beanstalk," | For it is coming, in ten beautiful, wonderful reels, to :Fox‘s theater, for four days starting tomorrow afternoon. But it must not be supposed that “Jack and the Beanstalk” {s a picture for children only. By no means. For although it is, of course, a picturization of the ages-old fairy-tale, yet its appeal is universal, and its thrills—of which there are plent rival those of any other picture ever seen in New Brit- ain. And who is there that has grown so old that he will not enjoy the sit- uations that fertilized the tender im- agination of his childhood? Who will not imagine that he is an innocent kiddie again, when he sees Jack ex- change the cow for a handful of beans; the miraculous stalk that grew therefrom; Jack’'s daring ascent, and discovery of the fairy village on the top; his adventure in hiding from the giant; his boldness in stealing the hen that laid the golden eggs and the magic harp; the gripping scene wherein he rescues the beautiful princess from the giant’s clutches; his strategy in cutting down the bean- stalk, and the glant with it? These are but a few of the exciting inci- dents that go to make up what has very properly been hailed as *The Peter Pan of Pictures.”” And there will be on sale at the theater all dur- ing the run of the picture, a special ‘William Fox edition of the story it- self. In order that no kiddie in New | Britain will be unable to see “Jack and the Beanstalk,” arrangements have been “ompleted whereby a spe- cial show will be given at four o’clock Friday afternoon, and ten o’'clock Sat- urday morning, at which school chil- dren under fourteen may attend ac- companied by their teathers, provid- ed the proper permission is grantod [ by their parents. ENID BENNETT HELD OVER AT LYCEUM The Lyceum has started the week off with a banner show.

People who are generous in other ways afe ofter stingy about words of praise or compliment. The Don’t-Have-To-Be Gifts. And people who are generous the formal occasions set aside by custom for gift making are often very stingy about the giving of little gifts, casual gifts, ‘“‘the-don’t have- to-be-gifts,” as Molly calls them. We all know people who are gen- erous in this respect. For instance there is one woman among my Aac- quaintance who never comes to dine with me without bringing some little gift. Sometimes its a tumbler of jelly, again its a magazine or a jar of picklelillie, or a little sachet. This same woman seldom writes a letter hout putting in some little enclosuré, & packet for some of her flower seeds, some snap shots, or just some clippings sheé knows I will be in- terested in. As she also writes one of those delightful bonanzas, a newsy letter, you can imagine what a pleas- on ure it is to see her writing on the envelope. Never a Record For the Music Ma- chine. On the other hand we all know people who never think of little gifts. I once had as a housemate a woman who was punctilious about all gift ziving occasions, Christmases and birthdays; gave Christmas gifts to old friends whom she hadn’t seen for years and remembered the birthdays of a large number of nephews and nieces, but never brought home any little gifts to the household. Never a new magazine, never a box of candy, never a bit of some hothouse fruit or a record for the music machins (which, by the way, she much en. joyed playing). Would It Be a Bad Idea? I suppose its just temperamental. With some people the will-to-give expresses itself in one way, with oth- ers in some other way. But I must say I do love those jolly little don't- have-to-be-gifts. I almost wish they could be substituted for formal gift giving. ‘“Sweeten it . | with Domino’’ Sold in 2 and 5 1b. cartons and in S, 10, 25 and 80 1b. cotton bags. ] him. Clad in an immaculate cow-boy attire such as one might wear at a masque ball, he travels to the land of his dreams only to find that his outfit is as unique as it appeared to be to habitants of New York's Fifth avenue on the morning he set out on his journey. Many incidents of typi- cal Fairbanks variety are promised in this picture, together with thrilling situations such as confront the young man from the East, who finds him- self in the midst of a plot of real serlous propartions. New York, California and Arkzona are the locales in which the picture was staged, each scene being screened in its actual atmosphere. Never has the athletic Doéuglas had greater op- portunity to present his own particu- lar talents as offered by the bound- less plains and western surroundings displayed in this film. Bucking bron- chos, lariat twirling, dare-devil stunts and a most generous supply of’ Fair- banks smiles are presented by the popular star in his newest screen of- fering and several physical surprises are the results of many months of training on his part. Staged under the able direction of John Emerson, the scenario by Anita Loos, is di- vulged in the usual effective manner displayed by the Fairbanks-Emerson- Loos trio. In addition to its unusual merit as a laugh provoker, “Wild and ‘Woolly” offers sevéral dramatic sit- uations that are bound to thrill a most placid audience. The Growing Girl.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compeound, the great woman's medicine and tonic. s and Women Readers "TWAS A GREAT DAY LAST NIGHT At Least *Twas That for Those Who Saw “Eileen” at Parson’s It was ‘‘a great day last night for the Irish.” At least it was such for those who went to Parsons’ theater in Hartford and saw Victor Herbert's romantic comic opera, ‘“Eileen.” There are three acts required to unfold the story of *Eileen’,—three acts, and ever so many songs. Yet there is no song in the entire play destined to win the heart of an Irish- man in such full measure as this, “The, Irish Have a Great Day To- night.”” That is the one the audience comes out whistling. In this latest musical endeavor Victor Herbert has outdone himself. In a curtain speech last night,—he conducted his own score,—the noted composer told of his life’'s ambition,— to write an Irish musical comedy. Suffice it to say, he has succeeded. Mr. Herbert if needs be, can rest on his laurels. The story of “Eileen” is simple and sweet; but we can best leave it to a synopsis which shows that the three episodes of the story are laid in what is perhaps the most romantic of all Ireland’s romance,—the days of the 1798 rebellion. Captain Barry O'Day, who has been fighting with the Irish Brigade in France, has returned to Ireland in hopes of raising some new recruits and joining a French army which, under General Hoche, is soon to in- vade Ireland from the west and march on Dublin. There is a price on Barry's head and two spies have informed Colonel Lester and his “red-coats” that Barry is at the Black Bull Inn. Lady Maude Estabrooke, her niece, Eileen Mulvaney, and Sir Reginalq Stribling, who are driving in a jaunt- ing car from Sligo to the castle near- by appear and are somewhat roughly handled by the peasantry who have no love for the quality at that time. Barry extricates them from their difficulties and they, in turn, by a ruse, save him from the red-coats. Barry then sees Eileen for the first time and immediatély falls in love with her. The young lady, however, thinking him a groom, the disguise by which he escaped the red-coats, resents his séeming impertinence: Later she discovers his identity and being then in love with him, she all but betrays him through her anxiéty for his safety. She and Lady Maude ;and Colonel Lester for the again arrange a clever subterfuge second time is nicely fooled, only to, appear later, suddenly, and take Barry un- awares. Through certain historical happen- ings, however ,matters are straight- ened out and Captain Barry takes his FEileen in his arms, while Lady Maude declares her love for Sir Reginald Stribling. As Captain Barry O’'Day, Walter Scanlon is superb. Gifted with a lifting Irish tenor voice Mr. Scanlon has charms of speech and manner which will immediately win for him all lovers of the Irish character. His rendition of “Ireland, My Sire Land,” is, it anything, comparable to John McCormack’s work. { Miss Irene Rowan in_the title role has all the gifts needed to earry off the part, what though her voice last night seemed not to possess the ne- cessary power. It was Scott Welsh as ‘“Dinny Doyle” who caused most of the laughter. And it was Mr. Welsh who put over the big song hit of the evening, “It's a Great day tonight for the Irish.” “Eileen,” starting on its tour of the year, should have no trouble winning audiences who have the least smat- tering of Irish. Others who won favor in the pre- sentation of their parts were Miss Olga Roller, Miss Josie Claflin, Miss Louise Allen, Algernon Greig, and Edward Martindell. J.J. D The Praise Continues Everywhere We Hear Good Reporu‘ \ of Doan’s Kidmey Pills. New Britain is no exception. Every section of the U. §. resounds with praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Thirty thousand persons are giving testi- mony in their home newspapers. Tho sincerity of these witnesses, the fact, that they live so near, is the best proof of the merit of Doan’s. Heére's a New Britain case: Mrs. A. Remington, 488 Arch street, says: “Five years ago the doctor sald that T would have to undergo an operation if the medicine he gave me Aaldn’t cure me of inflammation of the bladder, from which I suffered torments. After his medicine had falled, I tried other remedies but got no help. The pains in my back were fearful and at times I Cfl\flflfl'l‘ turn over in bed. For a week at a time I could hardly get around and wouldn’t dare leave the house. The first box of Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me relief and six or seven boxea cured me.” 60c, at all dealers.
