Evidently knowing her better than I he had adroitly con- veyed the impression in his bit of | news that he didn’t think she would go because of leaving me alone on moving day. “If Margaret is such a baby that she cannot manage her own moving it’s time she learned, as the rest of us did,” his mother continued. “It won’t take Agatha and me lang to put some things into a suitcase, and we’ll get our trunks all ready for you to move before we go. I suppose we'll have to stay all night at some hotel, that last train back is such a tiresome thing.” I hugged myself in my sheltered corner at the ease with which the very situation I had desired was unfolding itself. Then Cousin Agatha joined the conversation. “I don’t suppose your wife would welcome my aid,” she said, with her crushed-to-the-ground-air. “But if I can be of any assistance to her I shall be glad to give up the theatre and stay with her.” I could thing of nothing but Uriah Heep, as I hear her. All she needed ‘was the word ‘ 'umble,” and the long, black, dll-fitting gloves to be perfect. I held my breath for fear that in some way her offer would be accepted. But I nead not have feared. My mother-in-law was in the driver's seat and had no intention of relin- quishing the reins, Dicky’s Status Established. “Don’t be a foal just because you know how, Agatha,” she snapped. “You'd be about as helpful to Mar- garet in moving as a refrigerator would be to an Arctic explorer.

OF A WIFE GARRISON I saw Cousin Agatha’s crafty old eyes light up |like a child’s at the mention of the jet set, and again a wave of pity swept me for the poor |} old woman who had to be dependent | for all her little feminine fripperies | and pleasures upon the caprice of my irritable, if kindly, mother-in-law. “There’'s one thing more against this,”” Dicky said deprecatingly, and 1 knew by his voice’ that he was im- mensely enjoying this situation of his own creating. “It means that I shall Miave to stay in with you, too, I could never think of allowing you to go:alone, but it seems pretty -low down to leave Madge all alone.” “Richard,” his mother replied tart- ‘sometimes I'm ashamed of hav- ing ralsed veu, vou display so littles coman sense, and so much conceit. If there’s one solitary thing about this moving that wouldn't be the better without having you around I'd like to see it. A man’s no use on moving day, unless he's hired by the day and expects to be bossed. Other- wise it’s better for himself and every one else, especially every one else, if he’s 10 miles away.” “I Saw You.” “I ought to suit then,” Dicky, “for it's twenty-two tenths miles from Marvin ly, Tetorted and six- to the ress appeared at the Lyceum theater H GRIPPING STORY ON [ SCREEN AT LYCEUM Hundreds of thousands of people, followers of the motion picture art and students of the fine points of this imporant part of the drama give tes- timony to the finesse of Madam Pe- trova, the world's most famous dra- | matic actress. During the past two days when the famed Russian act- MMEPETROVA | “THE LA OF ThE: LAND' | | in her best vehicle, “The Law Of| The Land,” she added hundreds of. New Britain people to her long list: of ardent admirers, and justly so, for she truly achieves a wonderful suc- cess. | “The Law Of The Land” is one of;‘ the most engrossing and truly dra-; matic stories ever filmed. The basis of the theme is old, but the manner of its development is replete with sensational moments and surprising twists and turns. One never knows what to expect, and when he does ex- | pect the development along one line it never fails to do just opposite to his expectations. The big heartedness of a pofice! lieutenant, and his ability to read into 1 human character alone saves the woman from the gallows and allews the sun to creep through menacing city.” But his mother did not hear him. She was alveady mounting the stairs with Cousin Agatha in her; wake. They Were as happy as two children over their coming outing, and there came to me a realization of the pathetic eagerness of old age to seize and to hold fast such pleasures as could be grasped. I wondered if it were not the sense of the swiftly com- ing time when pleasures or pain, joy or sorrow would mean nothing to them, that made them so revel in the prospect of an evening’s amusement. Richard turned as they left the room and cdfme swiftly over to the win- dow seat from which vantage point, behind the long window curtains, I had witnessed his carefully staged little comedy. “I saw you!"” he accused, laugh- ing over his own triumph. ‘‘Aren’t you ashamed to sit there spying on me when I was trying so hard to work out your little scheme “I wasn’'t spying!” I returned in- “I was in there mending some things which had to be done before they were put away, lest they tear more, whep you lal come into the room. I waEL to congatulate you, too. You workéd your scheme very adroitly. “Oh, you've got to slip it to me,” he returned, “I'm clever, you Kknow; you've got to admit it.”” Then he laughed uproarously as some remem- brance struck him. “Did you see the mater's face when I told her I didn't think she’d want to go because it was moving day?” he demanded. ‘That was what fetched her. If I had told her about the tickets, and had said noth- ing else she would immediately have discovered that she didn't dare to leave the moving.” clouds. From start to finish, ‘‘The Law Of The Land” claims its audi- ence and never for a moment releases its clasp. From the Rialto theater, New York, where people stood twenty deep and watched the unraveling of the gripping theme, to New Britain, is considerable of a jump, but the artist and her art has arrived and is | worth seeing. It will be shown for | the last time today. Elsie Ferguson, conceded by many to be the most beautiful woman on the speaking stage, will make her | debut to New Britain audiences| Thursday in “Barbary Sheep” and! she will remain unti] Saturday. In this story, where east meets west, there are strange happenings, and the story, with its plot laid in wild Al-! geria, 1s a thriller. The climax sends its, shaft home with a penetrating thrust, and brings the plot through with a smash. Miss Ferguson achieves a degree of dramatic suc- cess in this picture that she failed to reach in even her most successful stage plays. On today’s program will be the Ly- ceum Weekly and several other good pictures. “THIS IS THE LIFE” AT FOX'S THEATER “This is the Life,” is the very sig- nificant title off Smilin’ George ‘Walsh's newest screen hit, which will | be seen today and tomorrow at Fox’'s theater. Every picture that George makes seems to be just a little bit better than the one before, and “This Even as I smiled an assent to his words there flashed into my mind a Temembrance of the time Alfred Durkee had told me the story of the Iriskman who told his pig to go to Dublin when he was really driving it to Cork, pointing the tale with an allusion to Dick stubbornness.

BURGESS, New England Press Agent, 294 Washington St., Boston, Mass, {Is the Life” is certainly not an ex- ceptlon to the rule, for it is not only | better than his last one, but it is i the best of all that he has ever made —and that's going some. He plays the part of Billy Drake, a rather wild, but good-natured youth who refuses to take either himself or anyone else seriously. Such a condition affects | his father's peace of mind and com- !fort of body too, at times, so Billy must either forfeit his heritage, or else take up an indefinite residence in South America. Billy loves his ukulele, but ““Oh! You heritage!” So he packs his boxing gloves and hies | him southward. While on board the Dboat that is carrying him away from home, he becomes acquainted with Hugo Von Nuttenberg, a gentlemen who is all that the name implies. Nutty has in his possession a motion |picture camera, which he has stolen from the original owner in the belief | that it was some new kind of a ma- | chine gun. When Billy sees this piece |of apparatus, he immediatély recog- i nizes it, and takes Hugo for a mov- !ing picture director. Arriving in the little republic in the South, the Ger- | man starts a revolution, and Billy, I taking it for granted that the whole ! thing is a moving picture play, pitches {in with all his energy, and makes things mightily uncomfortable for |the government forces. Even when he is captured and ordered to be shot, he still takes the whole affair |for a huge joke. But he is unde- | ceived just in the nick of time, and what he does to Nutty and his col- leagues is worth seeing. Among the other excellent subjects on the pro- gram will be another exciting chap- ter of the “Seven Pearls” and an epi- sode of the “Red Ace,” together with the Pathe News. ! itself, TRACE DISEASE TO CONSTIPATION One of the polnts on which different mchools of medicine prac- tically agree is, that about 95% of all human disease is directly traceable to intestinal yputrefac- tlon of stomach waste due to in- activity of the bowels, or consti- ation.

It is sel- dom, indeed, that the screen’s most famous actre: and most famous and popular fun-maker are shown at one entertainment, especially when considers that either of the two an absolute guarantee to fill any theater at any time. They are Theda Bara, that talented Fox protege, who | is reaching the climax of her artistic | career, and Charlie Chaplin, the m}n\" with the high school pedal extremi- | ties, and each is coming in the latestl subjects released. *‘Camille” is prob- | ably the best known piece of litera- ture that ever been dramatized. There has never been an actress yet who has not secretly aspired to play the title role, but on the spoken stagc there has been only one successful Camille, and that was Bernhardt. It has been attempted on the screen several times. but never before has there been a screen actress capable of handling it, and never before has it been produced on the extravagant | scale that the story itself demands. | But now, at last, there is a real screen Camille, and, as has been pro- | phesied by long-headed critics, Miss | Bara will go down in history as the actress who made the work a mo- tion picture possibility. Eer emo- tional scenes are equally as good, and in many respects superior to Bern- hardt's. And as for the production it is only necessary to an- nounce that the picture was produced by William Fox, and in consequence, there is not a technical nor dramatic imperfection in the wbele eight reels jthat the work consumes. As for Charlie Chaplin’s new ve- hicle—well, it has everything else that he ever did, just back right oft the boards. The title is “The Ad- venturer” and from what we already know of Charlie’s past history, it 1s easy to assume that anything that he will admit is an adventure, must be as full of action as possible. Both “Camille” and “The Adventurer” will be held over for three days. Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

Economy is a queer thing. In the way it takes hold of people, I mean, the strange little ways they economize, the strange ways they don’t economize, the total inability of some people to learn it and other people’s inability to ever unlearn it. He Can’t Bear to Spend Money for Clothes. I know a man who is very lavish of his comfortable income, except when it comes to clothes, then he is really miserly. He wears a suit un- his wife has to fairly drive him to the tailor’: And even ‘then he does not spend in proportion to his income—twenty or | twenty-five dollars for a suit, per-i haps. Yet he is a young, fine look- | ing man and likes to appear well. | Only he just can't bear to spend money for clothes. She Economized in Dish Water. Economy with some people gets to be a habit of mind. They economize even in things which don't matter at all, just because their mind is twist- ed that way. A woman once con- fessed to me that she found herself economizing in the most absurd ways. “When I heat the water for my dishes I will use it so sparingly that 1 always have some left. I can't! seem to bear to use it quite all,” she said. This same woman, though she loved candy, never could eat it wholesale as some people do. She would eat it bit by bit, almost penuriously, hoarding it by instinct. Yet she could well afford to buy all she want- ed. I have seen her look with ill conceales horror at people who pitched i1 and ate freely. Most Womnien Find Extravagance Easy to Learn. The effect of prosperity on women who have always had to economize is very interesting. Some simply can- not learn to spend money. It seems | to hurt them. But these are the ex- ception, not the rule. T think the | average woman easily enlarges her | spending power, in most directions only holding on to some little econ- omies, as a keepsake of auld lang | by Robert Vignola, SIDE TALKS CAMERON How Economy Takes Hold of People. often astonishingly extravagant about large sums. I have always wondered about this and was much interested in the following explanation by Mr. George. ’ “Poverty has taught woman much about the pence but it has taught her nothing about the pound.” PAULINE FREDERICK AT KEENEY'S THEATER Pauline Frederick, one of the screen’s greatest emotional actresses, would grace any role that she was giv- en to perform, but in “The Love that Lives” she has been accorded’ a ve- hicle which allows her to display the i[u]l splendid scope of her remarkable talent. It can be truthfully said that in this production, which was directed Miss Frederick has attained to heights of artistry nev- er before reached even in her brilliant career. It would seem on first thought that the role of a scrubwoman held few, if any, possibilities, yet Pauline Frederick has imparted to such a role all the charm and pathos and infinte understanding of which she alone is capable and Molly, the office drudge as portrayed bv Miss Frederick, becomes a character that is lovable, under- standable and charming.
