FOX’S SUNDAY-MONDAY-TUESDAY THEDA BAR In the Drama of the Ages CCAMILILE® 8 Gripping Parts! Her Greatest Triumph ! — EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION Charlie Chaplin WHs et «THE ADVENTURER” Ev'g 11c and 22¢ Mat. 11c -[REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Opened the Box from the Attic and What She Found In It. _ For & momen I gazed in blank as- tonishment at Willlam Trumbull, the poor, feeble-witted village character, who was helping me move Dicky’s “collection” of periodicals from our old house to the new one we had bought, and, who had Jjust repeated the d ptfon he had siven of us to our new neighbors. 'Then I fell back into. my . chair In a: paroxysm of laughter that .left me helpless and, incidentally, did more to remove my nervous headache ti .all the pow- ders T'd been’taking for ft. That old jest of Dicky’s about my weekly history class for the members of the exclusive Lotus Club - which brought me i a tidy little income of my very own—the jest which he fan- cied so much that he frequently re- peated it—had come back to us in a way that I hoped would effectually cure my husband of ever uttering it dgain. - Willilam must have heard him say it or had heard Katie and Jim repeat it. It was to the effect that I might as well launder the clothes of the clubwomen as to launder their brains, ‘William had understood and had re- peated that I worked in a laundry once a week against my husband’s wishes. He had also given our neigh- bors to understand that Dicky was a sign painter, “artist” meaning noth- ing to William’s mind. “Excuse me, Willlam,” I said, wip- ing my eyes at last and smiling at the poor fellow, who was standing first on one foot and then on the other, grin- ning sheepishly, wholly unable to see where the joke lay, but perfectly will- ing to share it or take the credit of it, whichever would please me most, “1 just happened to think of something funny, and I couldn’t help laughing. Now let's get back to our packing.” ‘William Trumbull’'s Dikcovery. For I had put down the perfectly natural impulse to instruct William | carefully how to correct the false im- pression he had given. I knew the gossip of the little village, how it ed- died and flowed around any new- comers, knew also that it was harm- less, and that the people whom we would reallv care to know would sometime laugh with.us at Willlam's description, while those who knew no better than to belleve it wouldn’t be particularly congenial acquaint- ances, anyway. It was far into the morning when | Willlam made his final trip with the e AETNA BOWLING 'ALLEYS, CHURCH ST. Alley can be Reserved New for Leagues Open Alley at All Times papers and came back to see what further arders there were. I had given him a key to the new house, for he is perfectly trustworthy, and when he returned it, he hesitated for a mo- ment as if he’d forgotten something. “‘Guess I'll go up to the attic again and see if I've overlooked something,” he said. “Seems to me I remember seeing.a box or two up there that I didn’t get, that was behind the rafters. 'Twon’t do any hurt to look, anyway.” He was gone quite a while, and when he came down he bore in his arms a box smaller than the ones in which Dicky had put some of his bodks—a box, moreaver, that gppeared to be nailed. “Found this tucked away back of the rafters,” he explained, “just as if somebody had put it away and for- gotten it. But they can’t hide nothin’ so good that I can’t find it.” A Picture— His weazened old face looked up at me with an air of cunning triumph. It reminded me irresistibly of a squir- rel that had found a store of securely hidden nuts. I looked -at the box-curiously, won- dering if it Teally belonged to Dicky or was one overlooked by the Bren- nans when they moved away from the place. It was of wood, somewhat smaller than the ones in which Dicky had stored his magazines, and bore no label whatever. One board of those covering the top was less securely fas- tened than the others, indicating that it had been loosened and replaced again after the box had been put away. There was very little dust upon it, compared tqo the ones we had han- dled before. \ “William.” T spoke his name quick- 1y and the old fellow jumped convul- sively, a way he had when addressed suddenly. “Did you dust this box off before you brought it down?” He looked at me apprehensively, but the child-like honesty of the old chap made him answer truthfully, even though he feare reproof for not having done the work. “No'm, Mis’ Gramie, I didn he stammered apologeticallv. “I didn't think there was no need if we was jest goin' to load it on to the push cart. 'Twould get all dirty goin’ over, anyway."” So it had been opened recently! Then why should it be pushed back behind the rafters in a way that would indicate its owner had tried to hide it from prying eyes? With a sudden resolution, the mo- tive for which I didn’t care to inquire, 1 sent William upon a trumped-up errand, and then, with a hammer and a chisel, I pried open the insecurely fastened lid and lifted the layer of wrapping paper’ that protected the contents of the box. The first thing that met my eyes was the pictared face of Grace Draper! Y. M. Rev. George W. MEN’'S MEETING ___at_... C. A Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3:30 P. M. C. Hill, Speaker éubject “An Open Door” All Men Invited KERENS—KY.—ON SCREEN AT THE LYCEUM Kerensky, the man whose valiant atempt to pull together disorganized Russla, and whose apparent failure in the big task can by no means be at- tributed to his lack of leadership qualities or energy, is a man, a per- sonal study of whom is well worth the time it takes. From a small place in a small town in interior Russia to the | forgmost place in her armies, is the : way the fairy-tale-like story of his life runs, and this truly big man, broad-minded and democratic to the core in a country where autoecracy the demagogism were hereotfore the reigning qualities in the powers that be, has really made good as far as any man could. Kerensky kindly granted a request that he appear in a motion picture in order that the world might be given an opportunity to see what the man of the hour looks like, and he is to appear Sunday night at the Lyceum theater. To say that he appears personally would be stretching the point to only a very small degree, for his appear- ance is almost that, so elosely is his character revealed. 'Kerensky is seen in scenes on the battlefront and an in- side view into the way the war was conducted along the Russian front be- fore the big withdrawal is vividly shown. This big picture will be at the Lyceum theater Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday, as well as on the Sunday night program. Antonio Mo- reno and Edith Storey, one of the zyeatest teams that ever appeared on the screen will be seen in another Sunday night feature, “Aladdin From Broadway”, a modern Arabian Nights tale. These two pictures are only a part of the big Sunday program, 2 program that will be well worth see- ing. Turning to next week we see the return appearance of that great big boy, Charlie Ray, in “The Son of His Father,” a story replete with thrills that are put over with effect obtain- able only by Ray. Ray will be given splendid oppor- tunity to show his ability as a scrap- per in this, his latest release, for he is obliged to heat up a few people now and then. He comes through with colors flying and sends them home satisfled. Yes, we guess Charlie ought to pack them in next Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday.

For it' brings to Fox's the greatest combination of screen talent that has yet appeared on one program. Theda Bara, in her eight part triumph, ‘“Camille,” and Char- lie Chaplin in “The Adventurer,” are two good pictures that are calculated to satisfy the most particular and critical audience in the world, Miss Bara is known the world over for her marvelous and original characteriza- tions, particularly - of the vampire type, and in “Camille” she reaches the height of dramatic perfection. Alexander Dumas, the youthful lit- erary genius of the French, complet- ed the classical romance, “The Lady of mellias” in 1848, and it lifted him fhto immediate fame. Under the title '“Camille”, which it npWw bears, T heatergoers and Women Readers o~ e “APARTMENT 29” IS FOX ATTRACTION A Much entertaining mystery, unusu- ally absorbing plot, and a brilllant cast—-those are the outstanding points of “Apartment 29", the big Blue Rib- bon feature of today’s program at Fox's theater. Earl Willlams wad born for the part of Ormsby, the dra- matic critic, and the hair-raising ex- perience he is compelled to go through are enough to tax the abili- 4 tles of any screen performer to the utmost, but Williams handles the part with/ ease. The story is remarkably interesting. It deals with certain ad- Ventures of Ormsby, a dramatic crit« ic, who decldes to “pan” the first night of the latest show in town. The playwright pleads with him over the cafe board, but “nothing doing’—the ‘play 1s too improbable, impossible. While he is writing his review a mgs- senger brings him an assignment from his city editor. Following it, he finds “* himself in a.room with a murdered man an da woman in a dead faint. The police arrive, and he is accused of murder. In trying to escape, he ia helped by a friend, and is hidden in a wardrobe trunk by his friend’s wife. Then he learns that this woman is not his friend's wife—she confesses the murder. That is the beginning of a s of gripping situations and deep- | 1y interestiAg perplexities. Before. it is * AMI LLE WILLIAM FOX PRODUCTION W dramatized it himself four years later. Its theme of pathetic purity in a sensual atmosphere has an elemental appeal which causes the play to live every year in every country, and in different languages. There will “be a deep interest in seeing Theda Bara’s idea of the generous, kindly, forgiving and unfortunate mortal, who, for all of her human fallings, was yet wo- man enough to have one love, and that a great one, and to remain loyal to it. It gives to the star most won- derful scope and opportunity for the display of her remarkable abilities, and she is at her best throughout the entire eight reels consumed in the picture. Of “The Adventurer”, it is only necessary to say that it is the: latest ludicrous product of that in- imitable comedian, Charlie Chaplin, and, like all of hig recent productions, better than any of his previous ef- forts. “Camille” and “The Adventur- er” will remain at Fox's for three days. e SIDE TALKS BY RUTH The Dread of Do you rather dread to meet new people? I think there are a good many folks, especially folks who are a little older than they once were, who dread the contact with new personalities. New people move into the neigh- borhood. We see them on the street, they look pleasant, we mean to call, we fully intend to call, we are surel: going to call tomorrow, but the days and the weeks and sometimes even- the months go by and we have not called. “And the Folks You Can’t Miss You See Lots.” Or one of our housemates tells us he hss met some interesting people in his work and wants us to invite them to the house and make their acquaintance. We acquiesce willingly enough, but when it comes to finding a definite time to do this . There are so many of our present acquaint- ances we must see (some of them people we do not care anything about but what of that, we have got into the habit of seeing them and keep on ‘| seeing them, we must); and so many of the routine conventional things to do (many of them things we don’t realy care about doing if we stopped to think, but we o seldom do). ‘Why are we so fooli Partly inertia, lack of the force of character that lifts one out of the rut of daily routine. Partly the in- stinctive subconscious dislike of the new, the unknown. And yet when one overcomes this inertia, this subconscious dislike, what wonderful rewards one some- times receives. * True, nine strangers might as well have remained strangers but the tenth may be & real event in one’ friendship life. Just Supposing I Hadn’t Gone! Last winter I met two new peoplés I had been invited half a ‘dozen times to meet these people before. In the previous winter I promised ‘&everal times in that pleasant way we prom- ise such things, to go and call on them some day. Finally, however, I was cornered and went. I remember how much I dreaded going that eve- ning. I had been up very late the night before-dhd had another engage- ment that had to be squeezed 6 in New Friends ahead of that call. And behold that call opened one of the most congen- i;\l friendships I have ever had in my lite. They were such folksy people. In ten minutes we were really talking, not just making conversation. ‘We stayed until midnight and went home in’a fine glow of mental excitement. Congenial Incomes and Congenial ' Tastes. We have met these “people again and again since then and found them that rare and delightful combination, congenial people with a sense of hu- mor, congenial income, and congenial tastes. And to think I missed a year of fool dread of meeting new ' people, that mental inertia keep me from get- ting out and meeting them hefore! After all, our human relationships, friendships, love, family ties are the most important things in life. Hou- ses, possessions, pleasures are just the background’ for these relationships. No one can afford to get in a friend- their company just because I let that-} finished, Ormsby has helped to cap- ture a couple of crooks, and then learns the extraordinary solution of the whole thing. In the seventeenth chapter of “The Fatal” Ring”, Pearl White has the narrowest escape of her whole career.

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 a lav-" ish 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 she loves Japan and fits pretty, quaint customs.
