NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1918, Adele Garrison’s REVELATIONS What Madge Remembered. As I drew back, a bit ashamed of impetuous exclamation, a whim- 1l look flashed into the expressive 1 nance of Mr. Stockbridge. >re was amusement in the glance, underneath it I had a glimpse of iething else—the poignant bitter- s which must always be this man’s tion, no matter how bravely he ked it. If I'd had any doubt of 5 identity, his face would have con- med my guess. That he recognized d accepted the appellation so invol- tarily uttered, I realized at once. “The Fiery Streak,” he repeated, ld there was a deliberation about the fterance, a cadence in his voice that me the cognomen was one of be- d association, ‘T haven’t heard name in a long time.

For Kenneth Stockbridge, the 1dol- dzed “Fiery Streak” of football, in the | days of my bread-and-butter girlhood had been the subject of much roman- | tlo far-off admiration on my part—a | feeling which I had no doubt was shared by hundreds, more probably thousands, of other young girls in the | impressionable teens, who used to | ‘wave their handkerchiefs at him and shrilly cheer his wonderful plays. I hadn’t thought of him for years, | but I found that I remembered as if | it had been but a few hours gone, the | tense interest which held me during | the mpectacular plays which I only Ralf-dunderstood, even though Jack | msed conscientiously to explain them i to me. I remembered also the ex- | cited, thrilling envy which. gonsumed | me when once or twice after #hg game | I saw him talking to some matrons and young girls of his*acquaintance. It was then that I had seen him bend | with unusdi grace in so young a man | | over the hands of his women friends, a gesture which had.spelled the acme of roval courtesy to me. The Fiery Streak! Time had dark- ened to a rich aubWrn the red hair that used to travel like a flaming meteor across the field, accident had robbed him of the strength and manly good looks that had been his, but every movement of Kenneth Stockbridge, every intonation @ his voice, every expression of his face revealed the un- | conquerable sunny spirit of the man. Hazily there floated before me the newspaper story of the accidents ' which had spoiled his football career and his future pMspects. Tt was a story which I had read in two differ- ent series, several months apart, a story that had filled me with sorrow for him, anger at another person. But I had no time to recall his his- | tory. He was speaking again, and I | bastily pushed away all speculation concerning him into a remote brain | cell, and gave his words my undivided attention. “I hope I drew a correct inference from your filling out of the blank I sent you,” he was saying courteously. “T am taking it for granted that you | are willing to accept the position of | first assistant In the Bay View High school.” “I think it is I who have heen a cepted,” I returned smiling, ‘“but | whichever way you put it T shall be very glad to do my best in the work.” “I know you will,” he assured me ' warmly, then hesitatingly: “There is | formality concerning | your acceptance of the position with which I must acquaint you.” OLDS Head or chest— are best treated f | “externally”— | CRS VAPORUB™S NEW PRICES... 30c, 60c, $1.20 4 DONT NEGLECT A ..

NEW YORK STUNTS AT LOCAL THEATER Confetti, streamers, music, vaude- “eats,” dancing on the stage, n’ev’ything that goes to make up a miniature Zeigfeld midnight frolic will be much in evidence in the Lyce- um theater this evening when the first midnight frolic in the history of the eity will be held. Manager LeWitt , has made arrangements for the hold- ing of frolic along the same lines as New York’s midnight frolic, and while he admits that there has been copying in the holding of the per- formance he refuses to state as to whether he or Mr. Zeigfeld is doing the copying. The regular vaudeville and movie performance will be started at 11 o’clock and at the conclusion of the Streamers and confetti will be given by the management, free, to the pa- trons of the frolic and the theater will be at their disposa The drops on the stage will be raised and the theater orchestra will play for danc- ing. Dancing will continue while therg is a disposition on the part of the house to dance. \This is ‘the first time in the history of the city that a midnight frolic has been given in the local theaters and promises to go big. For years, the Hartford midnight shows and frolics have been patronized on New Year's eve by people from New Britain, but should tonight’s frolic in the Lyceum prove popular enough, it is probable that it will be made a permaneht thing, thus doing away with the an- nual trip to Hartford for this most enjoyable New Year's diversion. KPENEY’S THEATER. Large and satisfied audiences saw the shows at Keeney's yesterday and it is apparent that although not as well known in local theaters as some other actresses, the charming Bthel Clayton has & sure chance to win her ay into the favorites' class very shortly. This Young star has been a success in every picture she has ap- peared in and in the production she is in at Keeney's, “The Girl Who Came Back”, Miss Clayton does the best work of her career. No one should fail to see this picture if pos- sible asganyone who attended the theatoMbsterday will agree. The latest episode of “The Iron Test” is also on the bill today and in additibn there are several shorter pic- tures of the usual first class standard. | Tomorrow the latest chapter of “The | Hand of Vengeance” will be shown | and Thursday, Friday and Saturday, | Dorothy Dalton will be the attraction drama, “Vive La Trance'. The vaudeville for today is extra zood and received a generous amount of applause at yesterday's shows. Nor- talane, Riano and Nortalane in their rapid-fire comeiy sketch had the audience laughing from the time they started the act until the end. Geo. C. Davis, the best known man in his line in America is seen in his mono- logue. Todesca and Todesca, bicycle experts, do some clever riding and some remarkably dMfferent stunts. Here is an act that it will be hard to don’t fail to see it. The latest ctures will be shown ter in the near future as will ail the big productions which have tieir plots taken from incidents in the Great War. LYCEUM THEAT | The people of New Britain are to given a real old time New York treat tonight when a midnight alhow will be presented and a showing of the vaudeville and other features along with confetti, streamers and cats and all that go with a big mid- night frolic on New Year's eve.

There will be continuous performance on ds On Thursday the present “M'liss” with Mary Pickford in the leading role. The story of “M'liss” is a charming tale of California in the galden days ’49. The story may sound con- ventional, but there are many sur- prises in the picture. SCENIC THEATER, “To Hell With the Kaiser,” the great seven-act Screea Classics, Inec. patriotic production, will open three-day engagement this afternoon nd tonight at the Scenic theater. “To Hell With the Kaiser” is the most vi« dealing with the world war.
