MILLER, : News For Theatergoers and Women Readers REVELATIONS How | Whliam' frumbull Desoribed Madge to the New Neighbors, “All Excited "Bbllt You Movin'.” I shall not soon forget the day I moved from the Brennan house on the outskirts of the little village of Marvin to the home Dicky had bought on one of the principal streets of the quaint old town. : As I look back upon it it seems like a 24-hour ‘nightmare, for it took us the whole of that time to mtike good our promise to get every bit of our household goods away from the Bren- nan gate by noon, the time our lease expired. s The worst part of the work, of coutse, was'Dicky’s “collection” of old hooks' and periodicals. Bdcause the movers had disappointed us, the time of Jim, oul man of all work, was taken up wlth getting the furniture from one house to another by means of the horse and Wwagon he had se- cured. Katle was busy with the thou- sand and one little domestic details of moving day, so Dicky's ‘“collection” was left to the tender mercies of Wil- liam Trumbull, the half-witted old vil- lager, who had a dog-like devotion for oér menage and myself. I had ordered dozens of sheets of heavy ‘wrapping paper, as many small boxes as I could persuade the grocer to sell, and an abundance of strong cord. En- veloping myself in & dust cap and apron, and pulling 'on an old pair of loose gloves, I worked vigorously put- ting the magazines into the boxes for Willlam to nail up, put on his push cart’ and- trundle through ankle-deep mud to the other house. It'was when I had finished the task and had turned to the flles of news- papers that my heart almost failed me—there were so many of them! Dicky saved magazine sections from almost every big newspaper in the country. He would never allow one to be destroyed, saying that some day he meant to clip and file them, and that then he would have one of the mast valuablel collections of clippings extant. But I- had lived with Dicky long enough to realize that the day of nnn:»\md clipping would never come. “Folks ANl Fixcited.” However, I had promised him to send them all over without the loss of a single one, and I Wrestled with the mass—I almost wrote mess—with -a growing feeling of nervousness, and a _headache that, beginning mildly, threatened to elimimate me complete- ly from the moving before the day should be over. . ‘William Trumbull's accounts af the comments of the nearest neighbors of our new home didm’t tend to lessen my nervousness, although I had to| smile in spite of myself at the tales: he brought back. A 3 “Folks all excited ‘bout your mov+ in’ in, Mis’ Gramie,” he sald on his return from hls second trip. ‘I tell you their eyes were jest glued their winders. I guess they never siw any- -| body moving such a lot of things with a push cart, They. Jooked at me as if I was some circus feller or somethin’, but I didn’t care.” ’ He tried hard to give an effect of nohchalance, but the poor old chap was ‘so puffed up with his sudden in- traduction to the limelight of public’| scrutiny he could hardly stop talking | about it and attend to the tying-up of the bundles of newspapers, for the bulkier of which I had to have his help. And when he started away with his second push cart load he fairly ran, so anxious was he to show off in his new-found occupation. He . came back grinning widely from a later trip. What William Said. “Folks jest kaint stand it any long- er,” he announced. “They jest had to come down to the road and ask me who's movin’ in. One woman, she wanted to know if there was a rag- ploker coming into their neighbor- hood, and another one, she put her nose up like this and says: “What pertectly impossible people they must be.’ 1 guess mebbe they don't like S0 many newspapers a-corhing,” he went on neively. “I never did see so .many newspapers myself in all my life ™ e / “What 4id you tell them when they asked about us?” I said curious “Why, I told them the’ truth. laoked up at me: with such a stiul, childlike look in bis poor, near-sight- ed eyes that I forgave him the de- scription his next words showed he had given our new neighbors., “I said you were awful nice folks,” he said earmestly. “T told them your AETNA BOWLING ALLEYS, CHURCH ST.

There are few that can handle a mys- tery production as well as Willlams, as those who remember his work “Arsene Lupin” will testify, and, in hi present picture, his work is nothing short of perfection itself.” He plays the part of Stanley Ormsby, & drama- tic critic, who runs afoul of an author and dramatic company Who have just produced ‘a new play and he incurs their déep and undy!n’ enmity- by writing up the show as *“the rottenest thing that ever found its way behind >, FRIDAY. CAMILLE COMING TO FOX'S SUNDAY Remarkable interest has been aroused by the annauncement of the iexfl'aordln-.ry program that has been i arranged for FoxX's theater for Sunday, ! Monday and Tuesday. Featuring the two most prominent and popular stars in the motion picture’ firmament, it is undoubtedly one of the most un- usual shows that have ever been given X el i the footlights.” ' ‘On his. way home_ from the play, after/ waving aside the author's pleas for a merdiful criticism, ‘his adventures begin. He interferes between a couple quarreling on the street and is rebuffed. Later, at his | club,, He gets, from his editor an as- i signment to go to a certain apartment house to interview a singer. /Entering the place he is diverted from his mis- sion by a woman falling, apparently | dead, at his feet from the floor of ! Apartment 29. Carrying her inside, he finds her to be the woman of the quarrel, and there also finds her hus- band|shot: There, alone, he realizes that ‘circumstances are against him and wishes to flee. The playwright, who lives in the same building, offers a Tefuge, but in return asks a large sum of money, which Ormsby is only | too glad’ to give for the protection of- | fered. He is rescued by the police, | but is chargéd with murder in the first degree, after which—well, it comes out all right in the end, but it marks only the beginning of his hair- ralsing experiences. Another feature of great interest on the same program is.the seventeenth chapter of “The Fatal Ring.” ere are only three more episodes of. this gripping serial, and the last three beat all previous records for excitement. The Pathe News and Mutt and Jeff are also shown. Menu ior Tomorrow Breakfast. Bananas o : Boiled Rice Cheese Omelet Biscuits Coftee Tmanch. Mutton and Macaroni Pie Baked Apples Cocoa Dinner.

George ‘W. Subject “An C. Hill, Speaker Open Door” ... Al Men Invited WILLIANM FOX PRODUCTION on one program. Of foremost im- portance, of course, is the eight-part | screen adaptation of Alexandre Du- mas’ masterpiece, “Camille,” which has been universally declared as the ;e-t picture that Theda Bara has yet ade. The story of “Camille” is fa- miliar. Jt deals with the life-story of & lovable adventuress whose real wom= anly qualities are brought out by her love for Atrmand Duval, a young French student. Camille is very viclous, very beautiful, and a very celebrated member aof the French un- derworld with a string - of wealthy lovers and all the usual ways of a woman of her class. Still she 18 wom- an enough to fall in love once and for all) The picture wilt-go down in his- tory as the tragic masterpiece of the! screen. The other feature of the show needs only small notice—not that it is only necessary to mention Charlie Chaplin’s name to interest the gubic. He comes in his latest produftion, “The Adventurer.” VIVIAN MARTIN ON § SCREEN AT KEENEY’S Winsome Vivian Martin, at present co-starring with Sessue Hayakawa, the noted Japanese actor, in the Para- mount picture, “Forbidden Paths,” at Keeney’s theater, was more than de- lighted at her experience in filming the production. It is the story of a love affair between a Japanese artist and a young American girl. The for- mer realizes his case is hopeless on account of the difference in race, but stands by his colors, finally sacrificing even life and honor for her happiness. Many of the scenes were taken in a great house, leased especially for the purpose, where was found a notable collection of rare Japanese prints, em- broideries and vases. In several scenes Miss Martin appears in & lav- ishly embroidered Japanese kimona, and at the end of the production its owner, a wealthy collector, presented it to. her with his compliments. Al- together, the little star says, she has made up her mind that next best to America 8he ‘loves Japan and its pretty, quaint customs. Nickerson and Berry, in their com- ic musical skit, are fayvorites with the crowd. With a store ®of really laugh- able foolishness sandwiched in, be- tween some clever stunts with their musical instruments, they bring forth a liberal applause. Mr. Berry is a par- ticularly clever, comedlan. His stylo is original .and Ne has the audience \ .armed up befere he has been on the stage a minfite. His jokes are good and his mannerisms quaint and pleasing. 0. U..Nurse Girls is one of the funniest turns seen at this house of amusement for many weeks past.

How can women love ‘things’ so much more than their husbands that they will lash their husband-on as a heartless man lashes on his tired horse, just for the sake of things? Of course if a woman doesn’t Yove her husband that's - another tua- tion altogether. But thousands of women who honestly think they love their ‘husband with all their hearts will do just this. Four Out of Five Wouldn’t Marry Again. I heard an interesting and true story the other y of five married men who were off on a hunting trip and fell somehow to discussing whether, if they had it to do over again, they would marry and would marry the same woman. Four out of the five said they would not marry at all. And the reasons those four men gave were all varlations on the theme I have brought up. One had a wife who wanted to get into so- clety and who would not let him live the simple, natural life he loved. The wife of another was determined to bring up his children in a.way in which he hated—all ostentation and luxury and snobbishness. The aqther two simply shrank from the con- stant struggle which wives deter- mined to keep up appearances and have everything their nefghbors had (and-a little more) imposed upon them. He Works Like a Dog to Keep Up to Her Standards. I have a friend who is a profes- sional man, his income of course de- pends entirely upon his exertions. If he had a wife who was content with a moderate way of living he might work reasonably hard and have a decent amount of time to rest and play. As it is, he works like a dog to keep ahead of the standard of living she imposes upon him. She pushes him into buying a house which is a constant struggle to keep up. A bargain yes, but one of those bargains that ride you the rest of your life. Then, his daughter must go to private school though the pub- lic schools in their town are excel- { al] he would answer. lent; and of course they must have an auto and she couldn’t think of rid- « ing in a flivver. Her Iatest is to persuade him to let himself be put up for a club that is hopelessly be- yond their means. The Initiation fee alone iy over a hundred dolars. And that of course is only the beginning. Yet the last time I saw that man I, to whom he is nothing but an old friend, was touched to the heart by his utter weariness. 0 stop wofk- ing so hard,” I said. "“I can't,” (He .doesn't’ talk about the reasons, those came 2o me from another source). He Never Gets a Chanc> to Really Live. Just think, that man never gets a, | chadce to really live and = probably « won’t till he dies. (Am I not a good Hibernian?) The woman is an excellent mother end a most efficlent housewife. She would be astonished to be called brutally self centered. But I think she is—and every other womeh like her who denles her husband the chance to live just for the sake of a few more things. And mind you, this doesn’'t mean only middle class of rich women either, it means every woman.
