Ninety-nine times out of a hundred returning strength banishes the sentimental | feeling as thoroughly as if it had never been experienced. If wives and sweethearts only recognized this there would be far less jealous misery in the warld.” “Do—You—Mind—"" I knew that to the young officer’s delirium-weakened brain I was not only the woman whose hands and | voice had power to quiet him, but the helpless creature he had rescued from death—and worse—and T realized that the situation was one which wauld re- quire most delicate handling upon my part. I must do nothing that would en- courage his fancy. Upon the other hand, I knew—far better than did anyone else—how much the sick man | depended upon me. ease my visits to him because I had dis- covered the character of his feeling for me, but I realized that I must tread very warily until the time that his complete convalescence should re- lease me. “Do — you — mind — my — ask- ing — you — questions? The faltering voice came to my ears again, and the clutch of his hand upon mine was almost convulsive. I putmy other hand over his soothingly, as I would have done to a trembling child. “No, indeed,” I answered with an assumption of cheerfulness which I was far from feeling. “But don’t you think you would better wait to ask questions until you are stronger?” “I'm strong enough now,’ he re- turned obstinately, and, indeed, his voice was firmer than it had yet been. “And I must know these things. It is necessary in my work.’ A little smile twisted the corners of | his mouth. It was a sad little grim- ace, with a hint of melancholy mock- ery in it. T caught the meaning of it at once. Poor chap! In his weak- nesst he fancied that he wag conceal- ing the real reason for his questions. He lay quiet for a long moment, then said clearly, slowly: “Pardon me, but I must ask vou this. If your husband isn’t dead, are you divorced ar living apart from him ?” Impulsively, angrily, I withdrew my hand from his. Fven if he were ill, there was a limit to my patience. But as I looked again at his sunken face, his suffering eyes, my heart con- demned me for my harshness. T schooled my voice to calmness. “My husband and T are very happy together,” I said, with a tiny prayer for forgiveness for the lack of truth in my answer. VITAGRAPH STAR ON SCREEN AT KEENEY'S Gladys Leslle, popular and talented Vitagraph star, has few equals in versatility, playing emotional com- edy or character parts with equal facility. She is a New York girl and at an early age succumbed to | | the lure of the picture world. Mis: { Leslle gained a wide and varied ex perience, being in musical comedy, i{when an eminent photoplay director | induced her to come to the silent {drama. Joining Vitagraph, her ad- | ! vance was rapid and she was selected | | to co-star with all the Vitagraph's | prominent stars. Miss Leslie is scen at her best, as an Irish colleen in “The Little Runaway,” which is the | main feature at Keeney's theater to- day and tomorrow. The final chapter of the “Boy Scouts’ Serlal” will also be shown with several comedies and other fea- tures. Three unusually good vaudeville acts, consisting of singing, talking, dancing and a very good acrobatic | act conclude the program. PINPLES COVERED FAGE AND NECK ltched, Got So Hard and Red Could Not Sleep With Pain, Troubled Two Years, HEALED BYCUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT e “‘When I was about fourteen years of age I began to get pimples and black- heads, and my face and neck were cov- ered. The pimples were red and came to a head making me look awful. They itched so that when I scratchedthey got 8o hard and red I could not sleep with the pain. “I had the trouble for most two years before I used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment, and after using three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one fifty-cent box of Cuticura Ointment I was healed.” (Signed) Miss Agnes Haleks, Pleasant View Ave., Bristol, Conn., Oct. 5, ’17. Some think that because Cuticura does such wonderful work in soothing and healing severe eczemas it is not adapted to toilet uses. But that is just where it is most effective in preventing little skin troubles becoming serious. e Each Free by M, Sampl, 1. Address post- card: **Cuticura, Dept. R, Boston."* Sol everywhere.

It was in this picture that Theda Bara gained the founda- tion for her present fame in interpret- ing vampire roles. Certainly there has never been a more vampirish vampire than Mr. Brown's and Miss Bara de- rives the utmost from the part. A notable performance is also contribut- ed by Edward Jose as the Fool. He plays convincingly and with tremend- ous effort. Miss Bara gave a splendid, thrilling, compelling portrayal of the destroyer of human hearts and souls, and rounds of applause greeted the finish of “A Fool There Was” tod: Theda Bara, for her wonderful drama- tic performance, today, in one of the most fascinating, though revolting fe- male characters ever created. The story as presented is absorbing and powerful and grips with an iron-like grip from beginning to end. The re- lentless Vampire, the poor, drivelling Fool and his suffering family are three forces which never allow the interest to slacken. Tt will be presented at Fox's for today only.
