The fea- tured attraction will be a new Fox production, “The Scarlet Pimperncl,” which is the screen version of ‘the very successful and widely read book of the same name {rom the fertile pen of Baroness Orczy. That it is just as successful as a picture as it was as a book is evident from the fact that no less a star than Dustin Far- num was selected to play the leading role in it, and from past experiences it is safe\to state that anything with’ which any of the Farnums is asso- clated must be a mighty good propo- sition. Mystery, romance, intrigue, udvenu‘re, danger and daring all vie with one another for interest in ‘‘The Scarlet Pimpernel.” The story of the picture deals with the general con- ditions of England and Frence in and around the, year 1792, the period of the French revolution, popularly called because of the means adopted by the popular party to enforce their will over that of the aristocrats, the Reign of Terror. It is one of the most absorbing periods of earlier modern history, from the storming of the bastile, which was in itself both | symbolic of the new attitude of the people, and prophetic of their abso- lute overthrow of tyranny, down to the establishment of some sort of | democratic government in Irance. Historians lay great stress on the in- fluence that our,own revolutionary struggle, but a few years before, had in holding up the spirit of the revo- lutionists ,and aiding them to ac- complish their purpose. But while it lasted, the Reign of Terror was all that the name implied. The streets ran red with blood, and no one was | gafe. Dustin Farnum plays the part | band of Englishmen who make it their business tb rescue whatever aristocrats they deem worthy, and be- cause of the emblem they adopt—a known as the Scarlet Pimpernel.. Among the other interesting fea- tures on the program will be “The Seven Pearls,” and ‘“The Red Ace,” with the Pathe News. THEDA BARA SHARES HONORS WITH CHAPLIN i Never before in the history of the theater, have such throngs of people stormed its doors as during the past two nights, when hundreds.stood in line to purchase tickets for that re- markable combipation of screen tal- ent, Theda Bara and Charlie Chaplin. It is & rare tribute to the abilities of these two, the most famous actress before the American public.today, and the world’s funniest comedlan, and it is also a good indication [that New Britain theater-goers know! when they are getting their money’s worth. “Ca- mille,” in which Miss Bara stars, is a familiar literary gem, and in its dramatized version, ‘it immediately became one of the classics of the spoken stage. But in motion plcture form, produced as only William Fox can produce a picture, it has sur~l passed the success of all its previous Interpretations, and in it the wonder- | ful Fox star has reached the pinnacle of histrionic achievement. It gives her wonderful abilities the fullest | scope, and she is at her best. Her play of emotions ,as she picturizes the life of the famous French grisette, are vivid and real. Only Theda Bara can put just the brilliant touch to | her,Camille that has fairly electrified | 1 teaspoon salt. 3 cups flour) DIRECTIONS :— and let rise till very lght. 50 minutes. handle, REVELATIONS Why Madge Declined William Trum- bull’s Invitation Without Wound- ing His Feelings. I put the photograph of Grace Draper which she had sent to Dicky from South America back into the box from which I had taken it, and arranged the other contents of the box so there was no trace of their having been disturbed. Then I refastened the boards of the cover, being careful to leave the one board inseccurely fastened, as I had found it. I did not acknowledge even to myself that I was prevent Dicky from fl‘f\ing out 1 had investigated the mYysterious box which William Trumbull had found | nidden behind the rafters of the attic, and which Dicky had evidently for- gotten. I still clung to the fiction that I had opened it simply to be sure it tvasn't something of the Brennan's which should not be moved. But despite my saphistry, a tiny the picture public. It is truly a won- derful picture. Camille is a very | viclous, very beautful. and a very | celebrated member of the French | underworld, with a long string of | wealthy lovers, and all the usyal ways ; of a woman of her class. St{ll she is woman enough to really fall in love | once and for all. But at the end of it all she dies a tragic death, leaving | only the remembrance of her bril- | llant, if somewhat unpleasant reputa- | tion, and her love for Armand. “The Adventurer,” which is the | truly symbolic title of Charlie Chap- lin’s new scream, is nothing short of the riot that was prophesied for it. It hardly leaves time to take breath, so rapid and convulsively funny are | the ludicrous antics of the funny | man. His experiences with a dish of ice cream are alone worth the whole price of lpmlulon. Tonight will be the final opportunity for seeing the all-star show, and to relieve the slight congestion tickets will be n sale.at both box offices. VIOLONCELLO INSTRUCTION By W. H.

And the message of the voice was confirmed by the relief 1 felt when I was enabled to finish the restoration of the hox's condition be- fore William Trumbull returned. “Afn’t nothin’ else, Mis' Gramie,” he announced when he returned from a final trip through all the rooms. “Katle, she sez to get oyt of her kitchen, she sez she's takin' care of all that truck. An' ther¢’s nothin’ clse but the stuff in your Toom. I've got that all on the push cart, ready to start.” “@h, Willilam,” I gasped in horror, for the things he had piled on his old push cart were my most cherished possessions, things I didn't dare to trust to any ordinary way of getting moved, and which I had planned to take with me in the taxicab when I should finally leave.” \ “What's matter?” William demand- ed a trifle sulkily. His encounter with Katie had somewhat ruffled him, for the old fellow had a most exag- gerated idea of his own importance in the role of protector and manager of any family for whom he was working, and my protest probably‘seemed to him the last straw. I hastened to placate him, much as I would havé soothed the unreason- ing grief of a child. “Why, you see, William,” I said, *I had planned to take those things from my room over with me in the taxl cab. There are a number of boxes yet to ga, and those can’t go any other way than in your cart, you'll have to make two trips as it is.” “I kin Jest’' as wéll make three,” Willlam returned earnestly, his simple homely face aglow with enthusiasm. “And there ain’t no kind of use your ‘hirin’ a taxi, Mis' @ramie.

The almost irresisti- ble impulses to laughter which the vision brought was banished, however, by the sight of the wistful look on the old chap’s face. The push cart was the only thing the old fellow owned. To him a ride upon it was a gift it for a queen, and he had offered it to me royally. “Thank you so much, Willlam,” I returned, * but vou haven't time for more than two trips, and you must hurry with those. You know Mr. Brennan is very angry at Mr. Gra- ham, and said that if we are not all finshed moving before noon he will make it unpleasant for us.” William straightened his squat figure and his face took on a look of dignity. “Then you an’' Katle better get right out of here,”” he said earnestly. “I know Brennan. He's turble ugly when he’s drunk, but I kin handle him. I ain't afraid of nobody.” The Summoning Bell. <1 looked at his long, powerful arms, and the muscular development of the upper part of his body, and decided that indeed he had no need to be afraid of any one. But I was afrald, deathly afraid, that my removal from the Brennan house might be the occasion of an unpleasant scene. How I regretted Dicky's cavalier treat- ment of our unpleasant landlord the day before! It was like Dicky, I reflected bitterly, to set the fuse for an explosion and then to get out of the way. But I knew better than to go away leaving William Trumbull to bear the brunt of any ebullition of our land- lord’s ugliness. William had a temper most easily prooked, and I feared the two men might get into a disgracetul brawl. “We won't have to see him at all, William,” I said earnestly, “if you'll only hurry with these things. Jim is coming back for one more load, and Katie will give him all the kitchen things. And Katie will ride over with me in the taxi. I must stay to give the key to Mr. Brennan. The taxi will be here before noon, and everything will be out easily. “I'l go down with you now and help you take thethings from my room off vour cart and then you can load up with these boxes.” William’s protest was silenced by the sudden and insistent ringing of the telephone. As I hastened to answer it 1 shrank nervously, apprehensively from the message it might be bringing. FADS AND FASHIONS A few_ filet lace blouses are seen.

Wouldn't We Be Mad If Anyene Else Said These Things. “Here I am monopolizing the whole conversation.” or “I know I have the homeliest nose in existence,” etc, etc. And then there are, with many of us, certain things that we can’'t bear to have other people do which, when we do them seem perfectly inoffen- sive. For instance, I hate to hear one else sneeze. It makes me tensely nervous. I feel as 1if they could help it if they tried and that they are doing it on purpose to an- | noy me. Yet I love to sneeze myself | (I can almost understand the snuff habit.) I feel that my sneeze is a clean, hard, dry sneeze that no one could possibly take objection to, whereas my housemates, naturally indignant at being requested not to sneeze, assert that it is one of the worst they ever heard. She Can’t Have Anyone Chew Gum ‘When She Is Not My other cannot bear to have anyone else chewing gum when she is not.

If you make the grade, I'l] give you half interest here, otherwise there'll be a new brakeman on the worst road I own. Go to it.” With these words James Carbhoy, railroad magnate and financial leader sent his son, Gordon, a youth just out of college, into the world to make good his boast that in six months he could turn $5,000 into $100,000. The elder Carbhoy was used to taking long chances, used to calling bluffs, and, was accustomed to seeing fortunes made in a short time, but this spend- thrift, good-for-nothing son of his turn his capital into twenty times the amelnt in six months? Never! Gor- don, however, thought differently, and being a good sport was obliged to take his father at his word. If he had not, probably there would never be such a story as “The Soh Of His Father” at the Lyceum today. But he did, and Charlie Ray as Gordon Carbhoy, the young man with the big Job is theréfore heading the Lyceum ‘program in this wonderful play. Directed by Thomas H. Ince and acted by Charlie Ray, either part of this statement, spoken of any picture, would assure its ready success, but when both are used, one may easily imagine the result.
