Lillian Underwood came back into the llbrary where I gat “on guard” as she had left me. Katherine came behind her, and both faces showed a decided lessening of the strain theyv had been under while supervising the | exodus of Anna Berg, the nurse, who for weeks had been masquerading in Lillian's home as Mary Burke. Kath- erine had recognized her, and Lillian had at once suspected the woman of being a Prussian spy set to watch her home becauss of Lilllan’s connection with the governmeat secret service, a comnection jealously guarded, but of which the woman or her employers must have received em inkling. But while Lilllan’s face had lost the tense grimness it had worn while banishing the spy from her home there was a worried expression her eyes that told me something else was troubling her greatly. She stood cllent for a moment, apparently studying the wonderful pattern of the ! rug at her foet, then raised her eves LYCEUM THE GREATEST COLLEGE 3 PIOTURE YOU EVER SAW JACK PIGKFORD “THE VARMINT” LYCEUM WEEKLY “THE PRINCESS VIRTUE” Six Pari Super-Production.

But a few hours before, at the cmfe. she had thought that, cleverly disguised as she was as a South American woman, she could elude the @orutiny of her recreant ‘husband's eyes by shrinking into her seat and making herself appear a tiny old woman. But those brilliant eyes had not only recognized me, but her as well. Might they not in the years that had passed, have penetrat- ed the secrets she thought had been guarded so carefully? But it aas not in my province to voice such a thought. Besides, Lillian was speak- ing again after the thoughtful pause she had made on her utterance of Harry Underwood’s name. ‘What Troubles Ldllian. My connection with the service has always besn so specially guarded,” she went om, “that very few knew of it. Rut there must be a traitor some- where in our ramks. I tell you this country is honeycombed with the agents of the enemy. The greatest espionage system the world has even known is working against our national ¢ life, but thank goodness thesé United States have not been in as drugged a sleep as they have seemed to be. Our secret service, hampered in a thou- sand ways by the sloth and indiffer- ence of those who should have backed 4t up, hasn't been idle all these years. Some time the history of their labors in § will be made public, and then the people of this country will know to whom they really owe their deliver- civilization.” ance from the Prussian menace to I saw that she had been carried out | of her own special worries by her enthusiasm for the service she loved. Then her voice trailed’ away into silence and the troubled look came back to her eves. “Betty will be all right” she said. “She’s naturally close-mouthed ; —a wonder for one of her color—she | | is a#votea to me, and I think she is }‘ thoroughly frightened because I found i her the secret of the wall safe which \she had accidentally discovered while cleaning the bookcases. she has been in _er room indulging her “weeps”’ while we've been hold- ing the seance with the Berg lady, so ) she doesn’t dream that the nurse was here under an assumed name: ~—Sho thinks her a common thief, and impression is the safest for her to have. “But I cannot have her or any one else cleaning the library again un- ' less there is one of us three there to watch her,” Lillian went on. “And I3etty would never cease conjecturing if I cleaned it myself.” And then there is old Mrs. Morton. I must have a nurse for her. That brings another element into the house. Marion’s governess needn’t. be con- sidered. She’s only here a few hours, goes directly to a room downstairs I have fitted up for aschoolroom, never comes upstairs, and is a most fiery little patriot anyway. I know all about het and her people.” A Way to Peace. She stopped and looked stralg[fl at Katherine. I knew that she must have seen as I had the little start Katherine gave when Lillian men- tioned the need of a nurse for Mrs. Morton, the old mother of her first husband, Wil] Morton, Marion’s fa- ther. It wag characteristic of Lil- ‘lian’s greatness of heart that she should be making easy the last days 'of this feeble ald invalid, whose son had well nigh blasted Lillian’s life and her reputation, dearer to her than her existence, and who unti] his death had kept from her the little daughter she adored. ( 1 felt my heart beating as if T had been running as I waited for the words 1 was sure Lillian meant to say to Katherine. For in a moment there had flashed upon me how those lwords might unravel the tangled, twisted threads of the misunderstand- ! ing between Katherine and Jack. Red is said to be the favored color for the coming spring. Lesrons 8y Picterial Review Intreducing é less.

I hope that will show him what a necktie really should be like. I wish you could see the ones he gives Fred, they are simply atrocious, “He Alw‘ys Wears That Kind Him- selt.” “Perhaps that's the kind he likes,” I suggested. “I suppose they are,” she admitted, “he always wears that kind himself. But he has no business to give that kind to Fred. He must know that Fred never wears bright ties.” And she folded the tie and laid it back in the box .with an air of self righteousness that was very ' funny.

The simple reason this particular show is appealing might be named off- hand. It is a double reason—Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorn. The thorn in the last name, by the way, is not in any way used to offset the rambler rose. Whoever put the thorn in Joseph’s name did him an linjustice. As to the real rose, Miss Sanderson’s Teputation is too well known to need further poetic effusion, She and her nimble-witted companion are worth all the money any man would havé to pay to get by the box- office, war tax included. “The Rambler Rose” will play three more performances at Parsons’ before rambling on its way. If its re- ceptions in other places are as good as that afforded it last evening there is no fear for its success. It has a modest little plot, not enough to hurt it, and it possesses several lilting mel- odies which invite to whisling after the show. Aside from Miss Sanderson and Mr. Cawthorn the work of John Golds- werthy and Miss Ada Meade stood out in contrast to that of an excellent company. George E. Mack, as an ec- centric millionaire, was aiso worthy of mention. The three scenes of ‘‘The Rambler Rose” are well appointed. They lead a merry chase from a girls' boarding school to an artist’s studio in Paris and from there to a sporty village “Somewhere in France.” FEven in a blizzard “The Rambler Rose” is worth a trip to Hartford. JACK PICKFORD ON SCREEN AT LYCEUM Jack Pickford, who, through his excellent work since joining the mo- tion picture ranks has won a high place in the film world and has be- come one of the greatest juveamils actors in the business, has completed another feature that is better than any of his previous work. Louise Huff, the pretty Young actress who has been with him on his upward travel, is also seen in this production and proves a worthy teammate. ‘“The Varmint,” from the pen of Owen Johnson, author of several college stories, is the vehicle this time, and gives the popular team excellent op- portunities for their peculiar style of acting. No longer is he obliged to be her- alded as “Mary’s Brother”’; he makes his way as jast Jack Pickford, one of the greatest voung actors in the motion picture business. ‘“The Var- mint” shows the voung fellow at his best and shows Miss Huff in a very acceptable role. The popular pic- ture with the popular stars will be at the popular theater, the Lyceum, today and tomorrow. What better combination can be imagined? On the same program will be the Lyceum Weekly, with all the‘ latest war news and news of the world of general interest. These pictures, parts of which are taken from the different army cantonments and scenes from the various European war fronts have, since the w started, become of general interest. The Keystone com- edy and other pictures will be shown to make up an excellent program. Saturday’s show will be continuous. 'FADS AND FASHIONS excellent Georgette crepe is for semi-evening dressing.

Perhaps she felt she was uplifting him by teaching him better taste. { But I cannot say that that seems to me to be a good ingredient for the Christmas spirit. Of course J can see that one wants i one’s gifts to express oneself, in - some degree, What You Like Or What You Ought to like? But I believe that thought for the reciplent should come first and thought for oneself second. And if the two ideals are so far apart that they simply can’t be recon- ciled, well what better rule could you have for Christmas giving than the golden rule. Which would you rather have your friends give you, the things you like or the thingg they think you ought to like. i Enough said. “ETERNAL MOTHER” AT FOX’S THEATER | A mighty gripping, emotional pic- ture, woven around a new kind of ; triangle is “The Eternal Mother,” the powerful Metro hit in which that tal- | ented beauty, Ethel Barrymore, will | appear at Fox's theater today and to- | morrow./ The story is the screen adaption of Sidney McCall's popular | and widely read novel, “Red Horse HilL,” and it has ben recently pre- dicted that the motlon picture version will be even a more sensational suc- cess than was the book. Miss Barry- more, who is knowh to millions for her work on the speaking stage, and even more millions for her work be- fore the camera is seen in the role of Maris, who, against her father’s wishes, marries a man who turns out to be a drunkard of the worst type. Her only child, Felico, is the only bright spot in her otherwise colorless existence. Maris is forced to work and provide for her little daughter, so she obtains a position as stenographer in the private office of Dwight Alden, a wealthy mill-owner. Word comes, after a while, that her husband and little daughter have both been killed in an accident.~ Her employer, learn- ing of this, asks her to become his wife. They marry and live happily for a few years, until her husband, whom she had thought dead, réturns with another woman, both of them forcing Felico to work in the mill and support them with her meager earn- ings. Then starts one of the most in- tense and desperate struggles that the dramatist’'s art has ever conceived. Maris, fighting against the greatest of odds to regain the possession of her child without disclosing her iden- tity to her husband, at the same time to prevent him from learning that she has married again, and to keep the secret of her dilemma from her second husband. It is the most remarkable situation that has ever been presented in any form of fiction, and the finish of the whole thing contains a punch that will fairly bring the audience to its feet. Among the other excellent subjects to be seen on the same pro- gram are the “Gems of Jeopardy,” which is the title of the eleventh epi- sode of that sensational serial success, “The Seven Pearls”; and an unusually clever Fable in Slang, by that master wit, George Ade; a comical Mutt and Jeff hit, and the newest issue of the up-to-the minute Pathe News, show- ing scenes of the various activities in Uncle Sam’s cantonments. “PRINCESS VIRTUE” SHOWN AT KEENEY'S oue of the most interesting pic- tures seen in this city in some time is being shown at Keeney's, with the charming Mae Murray, in the six part production of “The Princess Vir- tue.” A story of a voung girl wiic is sent abroad to cultivate hersels, by her rich aunt, who also sends & voung American lad to watch out for her, and how he finally falls in love with her himself and succeeds in taking her back to America through his strategy and daring, forms the plot of this interesting story. “Fighting made” is shown for the last time tonight, with Wm. Stowell and Betty Schade featured in 'this tale of the da¥s of ’'49. The story is full of thrills and action and the, settings quite realisttc. Today and tomorrow the second episode of the ‘‘Hidden Hand’ serial is shown. Feat- ured in it are Doris Kenyon and Shel- don Lewis.
