P A e e+ o e —~ ~— News For Theatergoers and Women Readers e N REVELATIONS Why Madge’s Brain Kept Repeating Over and Over Again “What Does Dicky Intend to Do?” “*Alfred Durkee is going to enlist.” I repeated the words mechanically. Indeed, I am not sure that I fully comprehended what Dicky had said. My brain was so occupled with speeu- lation concerning my husband’s atti- tude toward the war that it refused to register any other thought. He had come home upon the last night train with the news of ouncoun- try’s entrance into the world war. Something in his manner as we clung to each othef, awed by the tidings, had given me the idea that he meant to enlist immediately, and in the dark- ness I had silently fought out my bat- tle against my selfishness until I stood ready to do my part. Then he had discussed the different phases of the news im a manner as detached and impersonal as if he, himself had no personal interest in the subject. The difference between his first manner and his later de- meanor was so puzzling that when he finally wound up his rather rambling chatter with the news that Alfred Durkee was going to enlist I'm afraid my manner was irritatingly vacant as I repeated his words. “What’s the matter, Madge?”’ my husband demanded. “You act as if you’d had—why, I don't believe you even heard what I said!” The irritation in his voice roused me. With an effort I put aside the sombre, puzzling thoughts which had possessed me. Dicky Is Irritated. “I am rather dazed by it all,” I admittdd, “but I am ready now to do anything you wish. You said something about going to see Mrs, Durkee, didn't you?” “I did,” Dicky returned laconically. “‘Of course, I'll go right over today it you think best, but aren’t you afraid it will be an intrusion? I know [i£ T were in her place I shouldn’t want to see any one.” “Now don’t trot out that stunt of judging every ene by yourself,” Dicky raplied, and there was more than a trace of irritation in his voice this ‘“Because you want to crawl oft Hke & crab into a shell or a hermit i Into & cave when anything’s the mat- | ter is no indication other women don’t | want sympathy. Little Mrs. Durkee will be al] broken up by this. She { worships Alf, you know—he’s the only child she ever had. And she's a cling- ing sort of little creature. She'll need some woman, and she hasn’'t a relative within & thousand miles.” “I'll go over in the morning,” I promised. And although dreading the task intensely, I kept my word. I em very fond of gentle, laughter- loving, little Mrs. Durkee, and I felt i as if 1 could not bear to see the mis- ery I must find on her pretty child- like face. But to my great surprise, waiting until I was sure Alfred had left for the city, I went over to her | home, feeling as if my feet were lead- en every Inch of the path. But she met me at the door with the same cheery smile she always has for me. after | OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON mother love with which she had used them. But the memory of her passionate pride in her son's patriotism did not make any easier for me my walk home with the constant question run- ning through my brain: “What does Dicky intend to do?” DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS AT LYCEUM THURSDAY Well, well, well! Look who's here. | None other than our old friend, Doug- las Fairbanks, the smiling, ever- ready, dare-devil, smile copyrighter, in his very latest motion picture of- fering, “The Man From Painted Post.” Douglas is going to make his return appearance at the Lyceum theater Thursday, and will remain here Fri- day and Saturday, just to accommo- date his hundreds of friends. They could never get into thg theater in two days, so he will be here one day extra in order to give everybody a chance. W Fairbanks always shines in a west- ern role, and in this story he is.per- fectly at home, enacting the part of “Fancy Jim Sherwood,” professional bad-man cleaner-up. His experi- ences in landing a man for whom he has sought since his early youth, and his efforts to win the heart and hand of the girl he loves furnish the theme for one of Fairbanks’ best yet. Just give Douglas a lively horse or an op- portunity to perform a difficult stunt, and you have him at his best; add in a little sentiment just to balance things, and Douglas is unbeatable, In “The Man From Painted Post” he has all these, and is given a chance for comedy action of his most rollicking sort. He retains the cen- ter of the spotlight throughout the story, and deserves the chief place of Mlumination. Anyone who has ever seen a Fairbanks picture will agree that the famous and justly popular actor deserves all the credit coming to him. In order to catich cattle thieves he visits their section purporting to be an easterner who recently bought | & ranch there. The cowboys* give him a *“good time” and while so do- ing, Fairbanks puts over his comedy work. What with falling in love with ‘the school teacher, cleaning up the gang and getting revenge on his sis- | ter’s murderer, he has quite an excit- ing time. “The Man From Painted Post” will be the feature df the week in theatrical circles, and there will be no increase in price.

Only her eyes betrayed the depth of anguish that was hers. ; “How Proud I Am.” “I suppose Dicky told you that Al- fred is going,” she said, after she had chatted inconsequently with me for several minutes. “Yes, he told me when he came home on the late train,” I returned. “I .was afraid you would think I was intruding if I came over this morn- ing, but I couldn’t stay away.” She came over impetuously kissed me. ‘“You're a dear!"” she said, ‘“but don’t say anything sympathetic to me or I shall begin to cry. Alf told me last night when he got home. He didn’t intend to do it until this morn- ing, but as I was. sitting up, reading he told me last night. I managed to keep from crying until after he went to bed, and I got up early and spent e full hour massaging and powdering and prinking so he wouldn’t see how bad I looked. Of course, I didn't fool him very much, but I did the best Icould. I was bound if he could drop his career and leave me and every- thing for his country I ought to be able to keep the tears back as my part. And oh, how proud I am of him!” Her voice was resonant as she ut- tered her proud little cry, and I gazed amazed at the transformation in the little woman. She had always been te me the epitome of everything that wag feminine and cuddly and cling- ing, and here she was acting her part as worthily as any warrior's mother of an older, sterner time. Even the feminine artifices she had'employved to hide the traces of her tears were ennobled by the patriotic fervor and AETNA BOWLING ALLEYS, = CHURCH ST.

In presenting Lou-Tellegen and Mary Fuller in the Famous Players- Paramount production of “The Long Trail,” it is felt that this stellar duo will be unusually popular Wwith the amusement-seeking public when it will be seen at this theater on Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday. This photoplay was written. by Eve Unsell, and this fact, coupled with the fact that the production was directed by Howard Hansel and has for its stars two of the best known screen favor- ites, should more than vouch for its popularity. Lou-Tellegen is seen as “Andre Dubois,” the young French- Canadian trapper, living in the wilds with his little sister Michette. Mary Fuller plays Louise Graham, an or- phan whose only living near relative is her scrapegrace brother. The way Andre unconsciously compromises Louise and causes her hypocritical friends to desert her, and then mar- ries her to save her from the ad- vances of the uncouth lumbermen of the place makes a tale that is intense- ly interesting in its freshness and originality. Today and tomorrow the first epi- sodes of the two greatest serials ever produced will be shown for the first time in this city. “Who Is Number One,” adapted for the screen by H. M. Horkheimer from the story by Anna Katherine Green, starring Kath- leen Clifford as Amee Villon, filled with rapid action and thrilling and sensationally melodramatic situations resolve this production into a typical continued story. A novel way of add- ing enough interest to carry the at- tention of the audlence over to the next installment has been adopted by a brief summary of what will take place in the next chapter. This oc- curs at the end “of each episode. This not only gives the audience an ink- ling as to what to expect in the future, but also adds a touch of originality, as compared with other stories of sfmilar nature. The Universal Serjal, “The Mystery Ship,” with Ben Wilson, Neva Ger- ber and Kingsley Benedict, the action is quick and lively, with any quantity of fights and hair-breadth escapes to keep the audience in a state of breath- lessness throughout. Keeney Weekly, Current Events, several comedies and three high class vaudeville acts will conclude the program. JANE COWL CLOSES BOOKING AT FOX'S Jane Cowl, conceded to be the screen’s most bgautiful emotional ac- tress, will applar for the dast time in her first Goldwyn success, “The Spreading Dawn,” at Fox's theater this evening. Made nationally famous through her excellent work in the leading roles of “Within the Law” and “Common Clay,” she is one of tho latest of the many successful stage stars who have made their debut on the screen. “The Spreading Dawn” is the picturization of a remarkable story by Basil King, which, when published in the Saturday Evening Post, attracted such wide-spread at- tention. Georgiana Vanderpyl wishes to marry her soldier lover before hc leaves for France, but is prevented by an aged aunt, who dominates the family, and who does not believe in love. As a reason for her attitude, the aunt reveals to her niece the story of her own youthful romance. Through her diary she relates how she {had married a soldier at the outbreak iof the Civil war. In the midst of {her happiness, her husband, while jhome on a furlough, meets with a sudden death under circumstances ithat apparently revealed him as faithless, and the proud girl, never relenting, lives on to an old age in the firm conviction that love is a ! mockery. There is a letter which she ihad never opened, and which Georg- milk, one cupful molasses, one tea- spoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful soda and one heaping cupful stoned dates cut fine. Steam in mold for three hours nad serve with a liquid sauce. ) Corn fritters with graham muffins is.a good combination. —p— ALADDIN!

Clever and ingenious photog- | raphy aid materially in making “The | spreading Dawn” a most unusual and | successful photo drama. On the same program are also a new chapter of the- exciting= serial, “The Fighting Trail,” and a funny Sidney Drew comedy, entitled “Rubbing It In.” DOUBLE FEATURES COMING TO FOX’S Tomorrow starts a week of unpar- alleled activity at Fox's theater, dur- ing which there will be seen some of the greatest pictures that this house of great pictures has yet presented. A big double feature show is arranged for Wednesday and Thursday, in which two of the screen’s most be- loved stars will appear. They are June Caprice, that winsome little beauty of the Fox studios, who comes in her latest big hit, “Miss U. 8. A.” a breezy photoplay of thrills and gin- ger, and Douglas Fairbanks, the best little gloom-killer in the business, who will be seen in ‘“His Picture in the Papers.” In addition to these two features there will also be shown the latest chapters of those two thrilling serials, “The Seven Pearls” and ‘The Red Ac and the latest Pathe News.

I wonder if there is any direction in which people differ more widely than their allowance of that quality which seems to have no other name as adequate as the slang word ‘“‘cheek.” There are some people so lacking in it and so high spirited that the bare suspicion that they are not want- ed anywhere or that anyone thinks they are imposing upon him or her, is like the lash of a whip to a sen- sitive horse. And there are other people so.de- liberately thick skinned, so richly padded with cheek that they will en- dure actual insults and keep on in- truding or imposing. Let me tell you three authentic in- stances. A young girl went to visit her cousin, a young married woman with two children, much hospitality, and small means. She Didn’t Need Her Pocketbook. She stayed three weeks (she was invited, I believe for one.) In all that time she never took her hostess anywhere, never paid a carfare, nev- er brought any little thing to the children. Once when they were go- ing out, her hostess who was a very generous, easily imposed on person and couldn’t bear to give more than the gentlest hint, asked her guest if she didn’t want to take her pocket- book which was lylng on the table. “Oh no,” she said cheertully, “I won't she never heard from her guest, not even a brqad and butter note. She Stayed the Week. Here is another. A young girl who usually spends a week at the sea- shore with her aunt was told that the latter was not in a position to have her so long this year but would like her for a day or two. She came a day earlier than the time set, an- nounced that she had spent all, her money and hadn’'t enough to get home and would have to wait until she heard from her family. She stayed the week she had obginally planned on while waiting to hear. After she went, it came out that she | had had a mileage book all the time! Her hostess didn’t mind having her but she couldn't help being rather amused. Z The third T have kept to the last because it is the most remarkable. A friend of mine (a youpg married woman in moderate circumstances) had a girl friend who was an orphan ! and who after a visit to the hospital had no place to go, so she kindly in- vited her to her home to stay a week or two. She stayed nine weeks, she did almost nothing to help, she even lay in bed mornings and let the busy housewife bring her breakfast to her. Hints that she begin to look for work were of no avail. How they finally got her out, I don’t know. The state of mind anyone must be in to do such things really puzzles me. How can they bear to think that need it for anything.” “Incidentally she considered helping with the dishes all she was called upon to do in the way of work though her hostess who kept no maid was busy from morn- ing to night. When she left she in- vited her hostess to come and Visit her in the country, a few weeks later. The latter began making her plans to do so but she never paid the visit for And here’'s good news for the kids! “‘Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp” has been engaged for Friday and Sat- urday. Nearly every kiddie in New Britain, from four years to ninety- four, saw “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and it has been the talk of the town ever since it played here. And the fact that Francis Carpenter and Vir- ginia Lee Corbin, the extraordinary little stars of “Jack,” also have the leading roles in ‘“Aladdin,” is in it- self enough to guarantee a highly en- tertaining production. Additional good news is contained in the announce- ment that none of the youngsters will be unable to see the picture through any financial embarrassment, as the prices will not be increased, although “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp,” is certainly worth it. For the grown-ups, and all lovers of big, virile, man-to-man work, there will be unusual interest in Willlam Farnum’s latest screen triumph, “When a Man Sees Red,” which will head the bill on next Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. ‘“When a Man Sees Red,” which originally appeared in the Saturday Evening Post under the name of “The Painted Lady,” was written by Larry Evans, and is a massive eight-part tale of stirring ad- venture in the Pacific ocean and the South Sea Isles.

I wWish someone could explain the psychology of it to me. “DOUBLED CROSSED"” DRAMA OF THRILLS - Action, thrilly and suspense, the ‘three big ingrédients of a successful dramatic motien picture production are contained in Pauline Frederick's latest feature, “Double Crossed” which will head the program at the Lyceum theater today and tomorrow. Miss Frederick, playing tha role of a young wife who is willing to sacrifice % her honor to save that of her hus- band, scores a big individual success, and the story itself carries one along with delicious rapidit#; while the out- come hangs in mid-air until the last flicker. “Double Crossed” relates the story of a woman who outwits a strong political clique, members of which have an evil influence over her hus- band. With a signed confession of a theft he committed in his vouth, they are to force him to commit an- another theft, but his wife does it for him, and keeps the desired papers where they can do no harm. This Is a big, pulsating, gripping story of po- litical crookedness and social intrigue~ and has a theme that strikes home. You will like its backgrounds of poli- tice, burglary, society and love, you { will admire Crauford Kent, the young stock broker who is willing to sacri- fice all to retain the love of his wife, and you will love Pauline Frederick for herself.
