T'll agree to say nothing about the evening rig, but I'll serve fair warning on u that I'll zo to no afternoon affair at a school or anywhere else with that lid you've been sporting, and that two-year-old suit.”” T bit my lip to keep back the spirited retort that rose to them. But | the victory of Dicky’s agreement to the Bayview schedule of entertain- ment was too precarious a thing to risk by undiplomatic replies. The next minute I was glad indeed T hadn’t spoken, for my husband put his face close to mine. “Don’t let her little feelings get hurt,” he coaxed. “You know I honor you for managing things so splendid- ly, but it's time now for a little let- up.

Florence Reed in “Wives of Men' is scoring a tremendous hit with the movie fans of New Britain. She is appearing in this powerful drama to- day and tomorrow at the Lyceum. Her role is that of a woman who has married a stern, cold-hearted man only to find that she is not the woman of his heart. For twelve long years they lived together but they have nothing in common, ‘they are more like strangers to each other than man and wife. The woman’s soul is hard- ened and she is wasting her weary young life away, and sorrow is steal- ing her beauty from her. But finally there comes a better understanding of one another and both man and wife realize their mistakes and start out to patch up the broken atoms of the years they have wasted in misunder- standing. This picture is one dealing with a very strong and dramatic theme. however interesting in every way, and reflects great credit upon its producer. The supporting company is ideal. The vaudeville part of the bill is extremely fine, consisting of three acts that are all very entertaining clear through. Especlally good are Lavine and Cross, a clever comedy the Thrée Tivoli Girls are also splen- did singers and Bill and Maude Kel- ler present a funny novelty act. Thursday, Marguerite Clark will be | shown in the well known story “Mrs. | Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. As a star in motlon pletures Miss Clark | stands in the front rank. Her geni is undeniable and her popularity unbounded. “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cab- bage Patch” shows Miss Clark at her best—as the lovable, comical littie who is always trying do for other people.
