I nodded in comprehending acquis- cence. Experience had taught me the same truth. “Aren't you demanded though “You had a good of me, and here I am clothed my right mind, while you {eep your necktie on!" Lillian ad- vised crisply, opening the door and ad- vancing into the hall. “Madge was ar- rayed to the last hairpin before you camo up the stairs.” ““Then the League of Nations execu- tives had better send for you both,” Dicky retorted. *There isn't a prob- lem left unsettled in all the world by now." Lillian shot him a keen glance be- fore she answered. I wondered it she had any inkling of Dicky’s new atti- tude toward our friendship, his resent- ment of the aggressiveness with which we sometimes attacked our problems. “You need your dinner,’ she an- nounced, “but you won't have to wait much longer. Betty will be announcing it in about five minutes now—ten at the latest.’ “That's the best news I've heard in a coon's age,” Dicky replied, as we en- tered Lillian’s wonderful white and crimson living room. ““Ten minutes, you say.

I could not shut from my mind the knowledge that Edith Fairfax was now a member of the Durkee home. “Have the honeymooners returned ?"" T asked carelessly, as Dicky moved to- warq the hall. “I don't think so. They were to get back next Saturday the last T heard.” “ “The last I heard.” ” I repeatea the words mentally to myself with an irrepressible little addition — “from whom Was it possible that he was corresponding with—the sound of Dicky’s voice at the telephone cut short my speculations, and fixed my strained attention upon the hall out- side. “Hello! That you, Edith? What's the matter with your voice?” How well they must know each other’s voices!

What Madge Feared. ‘It sounded hoarse, that's all.” i fancied there was distant anxiety in his tone. “How's every little thing? Where's Her Flufiiness?’ He paused for her reply, and I stole a furtive glance at Lillian. That she was also listening intently to the one- sided conversation I knew by her face, although her eyes were bent upon the fire in the grate. “Oh, I'm sorry to hear that!"” Dicky's voice expressed only perfunc- tory regret, however, and I did not vision any calamity to Mrs. Durkee. “Hope she’ll feel detter in the morn- ing. No. we’re not coming out tonight. Li1 met us at the station when we arrived, and ‘corralled us. We're here for dinner and the night. But we'll be out in the morning, I suppose the old shack is still standing?” Another pause, during which Betty appeared at the door of the living room and rolled her eyes backward toward Dicky with distinct disap- proval. That he caught the hint his next words demonstrated. “Thanks for looking out for it. I'll have to fly now, without even calling Madge to say hello. Betty is announc- ing dinner, and you prabably know what will happen to me if I delay the game. So long. See you tomor- row. Hello, Betty!

FROM BROADWAY AT THE PALACE Charles Ray's version of ‘Forty- Five Minutes From Broadway,” the George M .Céhan classic which he has adapted to the screen, in being kept close to the original form which had such tremendous success during the years of its stage vogue. The wide popularity of the original Cohan play and the star's recognition of its value in the form known to a vast public, has convinced its producers that the biggest success would attend a screen version following closely the lines of the popular stage piece. “Forty-Five Minutes From Broad- way' is the first of the star’s new productions to be presented by Arthur S. Kane, for First National release. It will be shown at the Palace, Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday. The sponsors of Mr. Ray's initial picture stressed the point that a too greatly altered photoplay adaptation of the Cohan piece was contrary to the country-wide value of this well- known comedy-drama. The Keith vaudeville bill for the first half of the week features that classical musical comedy. “Nearly a Prince,” with a big clever cast and special scenery galore.

He wanted to die and nobody seemed to care, but something happened that made him change his mind. In ‘““The Poor Simp”. in which Owen Moore appears at Fox's the first half of the! week, a story is told that is highly en- tertaining and actually funny. Tom these tractions with which they deal. or atooties are written by the press Kennedy, who supports Moore in this Ppicture, was in 1908-9 champion am- ateur heavyweight boxer of the world and gives some idea as to how he earned the title. In ““The Poor Simp,” Moore, as Mel- ville Carruthers, ia in love. He be- comes disillusioned. He piots his own death with a gangster. Then the skies clear but the assassin cannot be tipped oft in time and Carruthers did not know that the thug never intended to kill him anyway. The situations whilerfarcical to the onlooker are ser- ious to the participants and the more serious Moore acts the funnier“he is, and the laughs come thick and fast. Other reels are a Penrod story by Booth Tarkington, the Fox News, Ep- isode six of Fantomas and a Chester Outing Travelogue. Heading the five! vaudeville acts is Joe Schefal & Co. with gorgeous ward- robes, beautful scenery and a good line of songs and dances. There are 10 people in this revue.
