NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922. A Waéhboiler, A Stick, and SUNSET In 30 minutes that faded sweater, that soiled dress, that passé silk waist, that dingy drapery —each and every fabric you wish to endow with new life and color —may be transformed with SUNSET, the ‘boiled in’ dye that stands repeated laundering.

On the trip to the studio in Ninth Avenue, Lucinda muses over the break with her husband, BELLAMY. Wealth, youth, beauty, had failed to bring hapiness to their J¥ifth Avenue home after five years of married life. Heavy drinking and an insatiable appe- tite for promiscuous flirtation had been the means by which he de- stroyed her early love for him. And now RICHARD DAUBENEY, her old sweetheart, had returned to New York. The trip to the studio would give her a chance to forget. GO ON WITH THE STORY Stage, as the layman understands that term, there was none; but the floor space as a whole was rather elaborately cluttered with what Lu- cinda was to learn were technically known as ‘sets,”” in varlous stages of completion and demolition; a set being anything set up to be photo- graphed, from a single ‘side” or “flat” with a simple window or door, or an ‘“angle” formed of two such sides joine Ito show the corner of a room, up to the solid and pretentious piece of construction which occupied fully one-half of the left and repro- duced the Palm Room at the Ritz- Carlton. At the far end of the room a sub- stantial set represented a living- room, a good part of it was masked from Lucinda's view by a number of massive but portable metal screens or stands arranged in two coverging ranks, at whose apex stood a heavy tripod supporting a small black box. camera, - o Class of 75 Will Receive the “thira"” ing effect of youthful gaucherie, at Turner Hall Tomorrow Afternoon Of these one was tall and dark, with a thick shock of wavy black halr, a wide and mobile mouth, and great, melancholy eyes. His well- tallored morning coat displayed to admiration a splendid torso. The other was a smaller, indeed an under- sized man, who wore a bralded smok- ing-jacket but no paint on his pinched weatherworm face of an actor. “King Loughlin,” Mr, Culp's secre- tary informed Lucinda—"man in the smoking-jacket, he always wears one when he's working—greatest emo- tional director in the business, no- body can touch him. Why, alongside him, Griffith’'s a joke in a back num- ber of judge. You wouldn't guess what he gets: thirty-five hundred.” “That's almost a thousand a week, isn't it?" “Thousand a week!"” In accents of some compassion he corrected: “Three thousand five hundred every week's what King Laughlin drags down in the little old pay envelope. But that's Mr. Culp all over; ex- pense's no object when he's making an Alma Daly picture, nothing's too good."

Dropping the easy, sf'mi-('onli-‘ dential manner, Mr. King Laughlin| snatched a silk ‘hat and stick from | the other's unresisting hands. “Right-O, Tommy!" he said in the nasal voice of the English Midlands. “Just to make sure I'll walk through it with Alma.” He turned graciously to the woman: “Now, Alma, dear e own Miss Daly, herself not unconscious of a fashionable gallery, shrugged slightly to signify that she didn't mind if Mr. Laughlin thought it really worth while, and made a leisurely exit from the set. At the same time Mr. Laughlin walked off by a door ap- proximately opposite, and the young man in the morning-coat strolled down to the front of the set and set- tled himself to observe and absorb the impending lesson. Mr. Laughlin then re-entered in character of a degage gentleman with an uneasy conseience, indicat- ing this last by stealthily opening and peering round the edge of the door before coming in and closing it with caution, and his gentility by holding hat and stick in one hand and carelessly trailing the ferrule of the stick behind him. Relieved to find the room untenanted, he moved up to the table, placed the hat on it crown-down, propped the stick against it, turned and gave the door in the right hand-wal a hard look, then bent over the table and pulled out and began to ransack one of its drawers.
