NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1918. e —— ws For Theatergoers and Women Readers Country. I have a dear friend who lives in a small country town.

Yet many people who they like to live in the city be- cause of the opportunities take little advantage of these opportunities. A librarian said to me the other day, “We think we couldn't live anywhere but in the city but when you come right down to it we get little out of it. We have to gzo a long distance to our work and we are usually too tired at night to go out again.” I almost wish I might live a hun- ed years and see if some of the world will not one can then most are s Tt Comononm, PROMINENT STARS ON FOX’'S SCREEN A cracker-jack special mid-week show with a large number of popular stars is the offering for today and to- morrow at Fox’s theater. Among the many prominent actors and actresses who are featured on the all-star pro- grggm are Emily Stevens, Douglas Fairbanks, Mable Normand, (Charlie Chaplin’s former partner) Harry Mo- rey and John Bunny. Emily Stevens, the wonderful, comes in her latest success, “Outwitted,” a big Metro fea- ture of intrigue, love, and excitement, brimful of swift moving plot and counter-plot, with plenty of red-blood- ed action running all through. It provides a wonderful story for the star, who plays the part of Nan Ken- nedy, sister of an escaped convict. save her brother from blackmail Nan goes to the house of her enemy, Law- son, portant document. She is discovered by Lawson, who makes her choose between imprisonment and a year in his home as his niece. She accepts the latter alternative, and while there she meets and learns to love Billy | William Dun To | to extract from his safe an im- | { geance and the Woman” | these. Bond. a son of one of Lawson’s bit- | terest foes. To their mutual surprise, Lawson encourages Billy’s attentions, and both Nan and Billy are overjoyed at hic apparent change of heart. But Lawson is deep and unforgiving, and has in mind a most diabolical scheme for vengeance for on the day of the wedding, he tells Billy that Nan is nothing but a common crook. Broken- hearted, the young man goes away. But then Nan’s brain gets busy and the way she outwits Lawson and wins back happiness for herself and the man she loves is graphically told in this splendid photoplay. Old Doug Fairbanks, the king-pin of merry- makers, returns in one of the funniest five part comedies that he has ever | been guilty of, “Reggie Mi perfect riot of mirth and ‘mischief. He smilingly licks everybody in sight, and fights his way into everybody's good graces in his usual amusing way. Mable Normand, Harry Morey and John Bunny are seen in very clever selected featurettes, and the Ford Weekly, with a Triangle comedy, “Won by a Fowl” completes the chow. es in,” a Buy buttermilk for use in Boston brown bread.

This CUTTING GUIDE, 75 62 Showns Sz 36, model in beaver brown broadcloth has a jacket with separate panels and is worn with a two-plece skirt witk jnserted side sections.

Tu medium size the sult requires 514 yards 54inch material. Today’s lesson treats with the cut ting of the jacket, which is greaily simplified by the cutting guide. A careful study of the guide convinces the home dressmaker that the jacket js within her ability to make. ¥ ‘ fold the broadcloth in half and along the lengthwise fold place the back .ot the jacket and the back of the skirt sections, with triple “TTT" perfora- tions resting on the fold. To the up- per left of the back, place the front skirt section, with large “0’’ perfora~ tions on a lengthwise thread. Next, place into position the front, then the sleeve sections, pocket and collar, in the order named, and all with large “O” perforations on a length- wise thread of material. To the right of the pai.2l there will be room for the cuff, trimming piece and belt. The front of the Jjacket is so de- signed that it may be fastened with high effect with a close collar if pre- ferred. The side panels are trimmed with pockets and at the lower edges there are buttons and double rows of machine stitching. The suit is most comfortable look- ing and will be in good style for early spring, especially since it has no fur trimming. ° o Patented April 30, 1907 Pictorial Review Jacket No. 7562.

R | Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When yvour shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or cal- lus from ona's feet. A Yew drops ap- plied divectly upon a tender, cching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This druz never inflames or even ir-j ritates the surrounding tissue or skin.

Capacity houses are at each per- formance the marvelous and stupen- dous spectacle, “The Warriors,” feat- marvelous giant enjoying aring Maciste the hero of “Cabiria.” As a rule the public does not like pjctures that are made across the seas, but “The Warriors” is quite different. Not for a moment is the thread of elementary human passion lost in the great med- ey of action that of necessity has its slace in a presentation of so momen- tous an issue as that shown in this production. The picture is exquisite- 1 zed, and one can easily believe that the filming of it may have taken months. he Warrior” has one feat- ure which will be dificult to dupli- -ate in any other dramatic picture that the war produces—good comedy. Maciste is a giant, all of seven feet in height and when he grabs husky soldiers by the heels and throws ' them laughingly over precipices (sure cnough precipices) the tragedy of high explosives is considerably diluted. Maciste pushes full grown horses and trees over as if they were so much papier mache. He is the only and original strong man of the movies. The love interest is so masterly in- terwoven in this stupendous spectacle, that while the mind is overcome with the greatness of the theme, you can- not help but admire the marvelous strength of thi wonderful giant, Ma- ciste, there is no trick photography but facts. In addition to this feature there will be several comedies and other features, also an ecpisode of the Universal serial, “The Mystery Ship,” featuring Ben Wilson and his charm- ing co-star, Neva Gerber. Three un- usually good vaudeville acts will con- clude the program.

FADS AND FASHIONS Chain stitch is a novelty on silken | undergarments. There are many broad black vels vet hats worn. Ruches nowadays are made of col- ored organdie. Bisque is undoubtedly a good colot for blouses. Military red is about the onlf bright color used. Evening coiffures are simple and without ornament. Jet will continue to be a favored trimming this spring. Simplicity is the standard of well-dressed, woman. the - Plain and plaid materials will be combined in spring suits. Women are wearing mufflers and belts of suede for sports. Hats are trimmed with long cur- ling ostrich feathers. Black serge is combined with black and white stripes.

Flower novelties ars made of Scot- tish plaids, Red moire silk, lace, brown tulle and sable fur make the prettiest of afternoon frocks. A white tulle scarf over a scart of black tulle is a pretty addition to the evening dress. The. evening gown of white should be brightened by a single red rose worn in the corsage. Russet brown and terra-cotta crepes combined in one evening gown make a charming color scheme. Afternoon dresses for little are of white lawn with collars cuffs of pink or blue chambray. girls and Fashionable lingerie is not white, Colored linen, siik, chiffon, or mous seline-de-soie are the proper mater- i ials. While gowns are so somber . and simple one note of accent is neces- {sary. It may be a string of pearls, a rose or a vest of contrasting color. CONVENTION IN CITY.
