® 3 HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison’s New Phase of Revelations of a Wife nd Mrs. Burgess “Came to Terms,” A screen director would have paid Mr. Olcott, the wizened old real es'ate dealer, a goodly salary if he could have registered for the camera the same expression of disappointed wvarice that his face portrayed when the buxom owner of the farm next to the Ticer home announced that she would “tdke 4 thousand csh for the dratted old place.” She had cut in half the price he had set, and I fancied 1 could wee his lips move in a calculation of the 5 per cont commission on the othre thousands which his client’s pre- eipitous action had lost him . “Why, Mrs, Burgess!” he wheezed while his forehead contorted into a remarkable frown. “This I8 madness! You are throwing away your proper- . Mrs. Burgesa turned on him with ping eves. w Jook here, Jim Olecott,” she T've listened to tht song and dance from you now for over five yours, 'Wait till you git your prico— wait till you get your price.’ I could have got six thousand six years ago when prices was low, but you advised me ta rent. And look what T've got on my hands now. If there's anybody Wania it for four thousand they can have it. The land's worth tha Long yenrs of temching High achool pupils have taught me to wateh for the psychological moment when u per- son is at the crux of a deciston.

You give me a check for whatever Jim here thinks right to bind the bargain, and then I'll go home, and tonight I'il have the first night's rest- ful sleep I've had in years. That place hax near worried the life out of me.” My heart warmed to the kindly woman-~how we like the people who say nice things to us—and I drew out my folding checkbook with the sooth iny sense of assisting at a homely tea- drinking insfead of completing a cold financial transaction. The feeling stayed with me even through Mr. Olcott’s frigid handling of the remainder of the business—his dissappointment ecemed positively to have congealed him—and T went out of the place light-heartedly. But 1 promptly came down from the peak of my high spirits at a easual suggesteion from Lillian “Don't you think, if you're going in tonight, that you'd better telephone the Dicky-bird linstead of wiring him. I purposely had postponed tele- graphing Dicky of his delayed mes- sage until after T had seen the real es- tate agent. T hoped that T might be able to offset his anger at my not meeting his mother with the news that we had an abldig place, But to tele- phone Dicky—to face the mood he would be in when he found thet I would not get there in time to meet the train from the South—seemed an Insupevable ordeal. But I agreed with Ldlila g that I must do it. T eould not and 1 waited him to know about the house, and to mull it over in his mind before his mother arrived there. T made my way with reluctant feet to a drug storq telephone booth and callod Dicky's studio. Then I endured the delay and the getting of wrong numbcrs scemingly inevitable to thej long distance telephone service. And when the operator finally secured the right number it was not_Dicky's voice that angwered, but that of dith Fair- fax. —_— VIRGINIA PEARSON TO PLAY PALACE, The Palace management announces that Virginia Pearson and Sheldon Lewis will again play at the Palace in a return engagement by request, with an entirely new vaudeville act, in the near future: { serial, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, ‘MAY - 28; “SKIRTS,” GREAT COMEDY OPENS MONDAY, FOX'S. (fne of the richest comedies yet of- fered is *“Skirts,” which opens a three day run at Fox's Monday. Clyde Cook takes the lcading comedy role in this six-rcel scream and s supported by a capable cast, includ- ing 1,000 Sunshine comedy bathing beauties and models as well as the famous Singer Midget troup. The same troupe, including its band and circus, that has played the blg time vaudeville, are seen in this picture. In addition, the Cuban-American “Do Or Die” with rough and ready Eddie Polo as the hero, opens. The first episode is “The Buccaneer's | Bride.” There will also be a Sun- shine comedy, the Outing Chester and Fox News on the movie program. The vaudeville acts consist of Stuart and Harris in a novelty act;: Keefe and Shaw in a singing and dancing number: Bob and George, comedy dialogue skit; and Pauline Fielding Players in a sketch entitled “You're ! Out.” Tonight is the last time “The Parish Priest,” Daniel Scully’s famous play, will be shown on the screen. Also, the vaudeville performance tonight will end the local appearance of these entertainers. There are four acts of comdy thlk, singing, dancing and clean cntertainment. BIG PHOTOPLAY DRAMA AT PALACE Merit pervades tho whole atmos- phere of Allan Dwan's production of “The Scoffer,” which will open an en- gagement at the Palace theater Mon- day and which may well be listed as one of the very best photodramas of the current season. Seldom has such a story been told so masterfully and rarely have incidents held an audience so enthralled. An intensive drama, it opens the eyes to some of life’'s foi- bles, yet in no sense is it gufity of moralizing. There will be an entire new Keith vaudeville bill of four fine acts. SUNDAY AT THE PALACE. The Palace will offer an exception- ally fine bill for the Sunday evening performance with two popular stars in their new photoplays, Dorothy Clish returns to the screen after an ab- sence of over a year in “Mary Ellen Comes to Town" and Earle Willlams will be offered in “The Romance Pro- moters.”” Other films include Charlie Chaplin in one of his best comedies, “Behind the Screen.” KILLED BY AUTO.

Gasoline Economy Here is the record of another sat- isfied Hupmobile purchaser: He has had a five-passenger Hup- mobile for about a year and it has gone 14,000 miles, averaging 20 miles for each gallon of gasoline. Lately he bought a Hupmobile Sedan. On the first 60 gallons of gaso- line for a total distince of 1,219 miles, the average was 20 19-60 miles or nearly 20 1-3 miles for each gallon ! Two Hupmobiles this man owns, and the outstanding feature about them which he praises is that they are easy on gasoline ! We'll give you his name, if you like, and you can talk to him yourself. We're ready to back up every example we give you in all our advertisements. Its very marked economy is one of the things which causes Hupmobile owners to tell you that it is the best car of its class in the world. Hupmobile prices are down $200 to $325.
