I started at Dr. Pettit in terrified amazement as he imprisoned my hands across the_ table at Which we had lunched. He) had responded to my appeal to watch over my father in South America, to which he was going in a few days, with the declaration that the one thing he desired to do on earth was to serve me, and then, as if making up his mind to something, had seized my hands and was gazing into my eyes, I felt it was time for me to put an end to the situation. I had lunched with Dr. Pettit because of my father and the danger in which he stood, and a misunderstanding of the physician’s telephone luncheon or- der by the head waiter was respon- sible for our being served in an unob- trusive alcove at the end of the main dining room, something utterly for- elgn to my ideas of propriety. Everything had passed off decorously till how. I snatched my hands away, pushed back from the tdble, adjusted my hat and stood up. “If you please, and tried to make my voice casual, think I must go.” “What's that?” His volce was . brusque, his utterance staccato. Then as the realization of what I had sald came to him, he frawned a quick ne- gation. “Not yet,” he said firmly. must’ not go vet.” There was a note of command in his, voice which I resented. ‘“Must not?” I interrogated proudly. “I must have misunderstood you, Dr. Pettit.” “No, vou did not,” he said, leaning toward me, and I had a queer sort of impression that the man had changed in a moment from flesh and blood to a bundle of steel wires. “I said must not and I meant it. Sit down.” The command rang out like that of a military officer. I don’t know yet why I obeyed it. Perhaps because I hoped that our distance from the nearest diners made it impossible for Dr. Pettit,” I said, “p “You Two Great Features. ‘Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast. Corn Meal Mash.

Continuous Today. “WILD AND WOOLY” FAIRBANKS' BEST Tonight is your last chance to see New Britain’s favorite movie star, Douglas Fairbanks in “Wild and Wooly.” One of the best photoplays that has been seen here in some time. It discloses the athletic Douglas in the role of the adventure-seeking youth of the East who realizes his fondest fancies amidst the great plain of Arizona. In this picture the ener- getic dispenser of laughter presents his efficiency in the various accom- plishments of the cow-boy, portrayed in his own inimitable style. On the same bill as an added feature is the charming star, Bessie Love, in “The Sawdust Ring.” An interesting por- trayal of life under the big tops of a circus, also a new Keystone com- edy with many laughs. Here is a show that is bound to please all. Owing to the crowds that want to see Douglas Fairbanks and could not secure seats, the Lyceum will run con- tinuous shows today. For Sunday evening the Lyceum presents Benja. min Christie in “Blind Justice,” a strong Vitagraph drama, also an add- ed feature, William Russell in “The Fighting Gentleman,” also many oth- er reels making up a pleasant eve- ning’s entertainment.

His face was that of a Cru- sader, of a zealat who finishes the task he has set himself regardless of the consequences to himself. , “Tell me,” he said. “I must know. ‘What would you do if you saw a man drowning, or being killed in any other way, and you had the ability to save him 2" I looked up at him in terror. I thaught the man must have gone mad. I think he saw the muscles in my face quiver, for his eyes suddenly softened, as I sat down. “Of Course!” “No, I haven't suddenly gone crazy, dear child,” he said, “but it is vital to me, and I think to you that I learn your answer to this hypothetical ques- tion. More depends on them than you think.” His voice, his manner were impell- ing. I answered his questian quietly, although I had no conception of what he meant by it. “I would save the man in danger, of course.” “But suppose it were his wife who had thrown him into the water?” ““What difference would that make?, I returned tartly. If the physiclan were not insane, he surely was get- ting extremely tiresome. “You would still save him ?" he per- sisted. “0f course!” “But suppose bystanders said you had no right to do it, and you were ostracised and abused for the at- tempt?” “Dr. Petit,” I said steadily. “I will answer no more riddles, I don’t like them. patiently you must explajn your mean- ing.” “You Poor Child.” “That was my very last one,” he pleaded, “and it is the most import- ant of all. Please answer it, and I will explain my meaning to you.” “There can be but one answer,” I returned. “If one sees an imperative duty confronting him, surely neither ostracism or abuse ought to stand in ane’s path. But your whole premises are absurd.” “Thank you,” he saild gravely. “You have made the decision for me. I shall hesitate no longer on account of false scruples.” His face held a look of sorrow, his eyes were mournful as they met and held mine, I felt a little shiver pass over me, a premonition of something coming to me which would sadden my life. “You poor child,” the physician’s volce was caressing in its tenderness. “It is you who are drowning—it is your husband. who has pushed you there—it is T who will Tescue you, and will take care of you always, so help e!” SIDE_TALKS The Peremptory Auto Owner A neighbor of mine was invited to spend a week-end with some cousins who live about forty miles away. Some mutual cousins who own an automobile were also invited. They communicated with my neighbor who had planned to go by train, and graciously asked her to go in their machine. The day be- forehand they called up again and told her to be at a certain point at half® past nine. For my neighbor to go to that point by electric takes half an hour and requires a change of cars. For the people with the machine to cadl at her home would have taken them perhaps ten minutes out of their way. And They Waited An Hour and Ten Minutes. The next day dawned with a howl- ing rainstorm. the kind that laughs derisively at umbrellas. My neigh- bor and her husband had to carry besides their umbrellas and valise, the inevitable extra wraps which one does not need on a trolley but does need for a long machine ride. To be sure of being on time they took an early car and arrived ten | minutes early. And they waited an hour and fifteen minutes, wet and uncomfortable. When the autoists finally arrived they explained with no great concern that they had had a flat tire. & Now, to be sure, they could not have helped that, but on the other hand if their guests had béen ten minutes late on account of a delayed electric 1 think there would have been some fireworks. And as to the matter of not calling for them, that seems to me the tackiest kind of a performance. And yet get a great many automobiles in- vitations are given in just that grace- less fashion. Of course there are many times when it would be just as easy for the guest to meet the auto as for the autoist to call for him. That is another thing. But where it means a ten minute hindrance for the autoist and a half hour's,for the guest, I should think courtesy would dictate the lesser inconvenience. The Guest Must Wait With His Coat on. Again, many motorists expect the guest for whom they call to be ready with his motoring rig all on, the sec- ond they appear before the door, and seem to regard & minute's delay while he gets on his outer coat as | an outrage. Of course the guest who keeps a machine full of people walt- {ing five minutes while he makes : & ' leisurely get-away is a nuluncu, but there is some fair between these two extremes. The Automobilist Thinks Beggars Shouldn’t Be Choosers. The automobilist’s feeling is “I am giving all this pleasure to' this per- son, he ought to be willing to wait on my convenience.” Perhaps he had. But that doesn’t seem to me exactly a gracious way to give. And now, lest you think I am prej- udiced against the automobile owner, let me tell you one type of automo- bile guest for whom I have no use. And that is the person who thinks because a friend supplies the auto he should supply all other incidentals for the trip such as dinner, etc. I should think such social parasites would find their invitations few .and far be- tween.

MENDLESON’S SONS Established 1870 120 Broadway, New York City Factory: Albany, N. Y. RAY AND PICKFORD ‘COMING TO LYCEUM For Monday and Tuesday and ‘Wednesday the Liyceum presents a big double feature program, headed by America’s most idolized screen star, Mary Pickford, in ‘“Poor Little Pep- pina.”” This 18 claimed to be one of the best Mary Pickford features that she has appeared in. The other star on the program and very popular with the people of New Britain is Charles Ray, the former star of the “Pinch Hitter,” *“The Clodhopper” and “The Millionaire Vagrant,” who appears this time in “Sudden Jim,” the story which appeared in The Sat- urday Evening Post in serial form. For the first time in his career Charles Ray will appear in a part identical with his own personality. Heretofore he has played weaklings, clodhopper and similar types. In his new play he is an energetic red-blood- ed American fellow. The Lyceum will go as far as to say that Charles Ray is one of the best stars, in their opinion, in moving pictures today. And those who have seen him will no doubt agree with this. You can always look for the best at the Ly- ceum for they are presenting the big- gest and best there is in photo plays. JACK’S LAST DAY AT FOX'S THEATER “Jack and the Beanstalk,” will | close its phenomenally successful run | &t Fox's theater tonight, and it's sate to say that not a kiddie, big or little, young or old, will have missed the opportunity of seeing on the screen this most realistic representation of the most famous character of litera- ture. Produced with absolutely no regard for expense, and marked by a most careful selection of characters and attention to detail, this picture stands alone as the greatest and most original classic of childhood. And there is no one of the thousands who have seen it who has not been sim- ply carried away with enthusiasm over the beauty and charms of the production. The work of the little stars, Francis Carpenter, aged six, and Virginia Lee Corbin, aged five, is nothing short of marvelous. Theh‘ expression of deep emotion, and in- terpretation of the characters they play will never be equalled, much less surpassed. The citizens of the Little People’s city are most amusing, with their grown-up ways go perfectly as- sumed. Of particular merit are the characterizations of the king and the villainous noble, Prince Rudolph, who is insanely jealous of Jack in his courtship of the princess. Jim Tar- vis, that huge being who plays Blund- erbore, the savage giant, fits the part like a glove. In life, he actually measures eight feet and a half in height, and weighs something over four hundred pounds, and in con- trast to the little children with whom he is associated in the drama, he looks to be at least four times as large. Today will be the last pre- sentation of “Jack and the Bean- stalk,” and the show will be run con- tinously, from 2:15 to 10:30. T latest episode of *“The Fatal Ring,” showing Pearl White surrounded by new terrors, is also a feature of the program. MISCELDANEOUS SHOWER, A miscellaneous shower was given last evening at the home of Mrs. Alex Bolston of 334 Stanley street in honor of Miss Elsie Johnson, 55 Dwight street. The house was decorated with flowers, yellow and green being the color echeme. During the eve- ning games were playad and a musi- cal program carrted out. Miss John- son, who is soon to become the bride of Mr. Bloomquist of Lynn, Mass., was the recipient of a number of beautiful and useful gifts. EVELYN NESBIT THAW AT FOX'S SUNDAY The story of ‘“Redemption,” or strictly speakjng the foundation upon which the story is, based is taken from Evelyn Nesbit's early career. The past life of the star is vaguely suggested in the character she por- trays, and the purpose of her life and her hope in the strong love of her son is made the keynote of the film and its title. The story begins in the happy home of Thomas and Alice Loring and their little son, Harry. Stephén Brooks, a man of wealth and social standing, only tolerated by his wife for the sake of their two children, has been concerned in her past life when she had been a professional dancer. Recognizing her on the street, he makes every effort to influence her again. On one occasion she has him arrested for insulting her, but is per- suaded to drop the case. A reporter rakes up the scandal, however, and when her husband learns of it he tries to thrash Brooks. The latter's influence causes Loring to lose his position. Then his illness and death throw his faithful wife on her own resources. Finally she makes a suc- cess of a dressmaking establishment under an assumed name. Fifteen years later her son, the center of her existence and hope, is in love with his college chum’s ' sister, Grace. On learning that Brooks is their father, Alice dreads meeting him. At this climax he denounces her and com- mands Robert and Grace to forget them. Harry saves Robert’s life in an explosion, and Brooks, penitent, asks Alice to forgive the past. In the love of her son, a credit to his mother, the past is redeemed. The cast follows: Miss Nesbit is a revelation on the screen. She has the beauty and per- sonality that mark an ideal photoplay actress. “Redemption” ranks as one of the biggest successes ventured during the’ present vogue of mighty film out- puts, and will commence a limited engagement at Fox's theater tomor- row night remaining until Tuesdsy night.
