Me never slap Aunt Tattie!” Junior screamed in an agony of insulted righteousness, relapsing into the baby talk from which he is precoclously and laboriously emerging. By the time our united efforts had | calmed him Into an assurance that no one remotely suspected him of so | helnous a crime, the tight lines around Katherine’s mouth had re- laxed, and I knew that her blind but entirely justifiable anger against my cantankerous mother-in-law was suc- cumbing to her usual humorous phil- osophy, with which I would find it| much easier to deal. it Madge Tries to Interpret “That's exactly what his grand- mothér would say in adult language, half an hour from now,” I comment- ed, laughing. “She hasn't the slight- est idea of the maddening things she says.

I'm only asking you not to punish me for her temper, and to treat her outbursts exactly as if they came from a little child.” ““You could spank the child,” Kath-| erine sald with a viclous little click of | the teeth, and I was irresistibly re- minded of Katie's comment of a few minutes before. “Bomable Old Woman." 14 “1 must tell you what Katie said,” | 1 returned, and when I had repeated| . my little maid's words, I was reward- i ed by a merry laugh.

Katherine gave my arm a loving| little squeeze as she said: “If you can stand it all the time, | I ought to be able to stand it part of the time,” she said. ‘With a lightened heart, I turned to my switch-key. But my hand fell away from it in dismay when Junior piped up in clear ringing tones, as if | he were saying a lesson: “Bomable old woman.

A new screen sensation is prom- ised to motion plcturegoers at the Palace theater today when the Gold- wyn melodrama fllm,) A Blind Bar- gain” opens a three day showing there. The pjicture is one of Gold- wyn's Twenty” and is a pseudo- scientific melodrama guaranteed to make the spectator’s hair stand on end, It was adapted from a story by Barry Pain called * The Octave of Claudius” and directed by Wallace Worsley who is responsible for two other Goldwyn melodramatic thrill- ers, Ace of Hearts” and ' The Penalty,” In both of these pictures Lon Chaney gave remarkable char- acterizations. He was engaged for the leading roles in “A Blin gain. In jthis new tingling photo- drama, Chaney plays two roles, one is that of a half-mad surgeon who dreams he can prove the theory of evolution by turning man back into the simian like ancestor from whom he sprung by transplanting monkey glands into his body; the other is the monkey-like hunchback, victim of one of his experiments. The Keith vaudeville bill will have four splendid acts of high grade talent with Margaret Taylor in a fine | novelty offering; Harris and Holly, a very clever pair of colored comedians; Gretta Dorsey in new and orginal songs; and Glenn and Richards, who will be well liked for their singing, | talking and dancing efforts.
