JOHN MASON TO BE
 ON KEENEY SCREEN

Selig's spectacular picturization of masterpiece, The Circular Stair case" and John Mason in Jim The Penman," will be the big attractions at Keeney's tonight. Both wonder full stories with big dramatic pos abilities, the screen features will go down in the Keeney records as pro- bably the most successful pair ever shown on a single night. The Rine- hart film is a Big Four offering and it won unstinted praise from the Keeney audience last evening. It is a big achievement to put this wonder full romance on the screen and the Selig company we'll merits the com pliments that have been showered on it since the picture was released. In the leading role is Eugenie Besserer, one of the most popular members of the Selig forces.
 John Mason needs no introduction to New Britain theater-goers. He has appeared here in number of dramatic successes and at no time did he play in a failure in this city. Jim The Penman" is generally regarded as one of the strongest plays in which he has been cast. It was select ed for his debut as a screen artist by himself and the success of the film attests to his capable Judgement.
 Berth Challis, the little comedienne of dynamite personality" and Ed Lambert, pianist, who apears with her, are offering the best liked vaude- vile act on thos weeks bill. It is a lively number and its many com mendable features make a good inn pression on the audience.
 Billy Barrows, the music master, plays a number of instruments en- tertaingly; Fisher and Fisher do some good stunts on bicycles and Laval Here and Deverreit win big applause for their admirable work in the comedy sketch, "Flat Broke"

GREAT INTEREST IN
 MACDOWELL RECITAL

The interest that is being shown in the Mcdowell recital at the Y. w. c. A. hall on the evening of October 27, indicates that New Britain peo- pie are really appreciative of worthy attractions.
 All American, with New England in particular, should honor the name of Edward Mcdowell, as it was in the seclusion of the New Hampshire hills that he made his home, and there created the wonderful tone poems that mark him as the most eminent of American composers.
 Since his death, caused by over work, Mrs. Mcdowell, who was an accomplished pianist, has devoted her time and energy to bringing his music before the American public. Her mis- sion does not end there. for she gives all the money from her recital toward the support of the art colony estab- lished at Peterborough, New Hamp- shire, as a living memorial to her great husband

WATCH SORE THROATS

 As Natures corrector of throat troubles the pure cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion is speedily converted into germ-resisting tissue; its tested glycer- inc is curative and healing, while this wholesome emulsion relieves the trouble and upbuilds the forces to resist tubercular germs and avert the weak ening influence which usually follows.
 If any member of your family has a tender throat, get bottle of Scott's Emulsionto-day. Physicians prescribe it to avert throat troubles, overcome bronchial disorders and strengthen the lungs. No alcohol or harmful drugs. Always insist on Scott's.

WALTER BROWN, OF
 MANY APARTMENTS

Walter Browne, the author of the dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman," which will be seen at the Lyceum Friday evening, Oct. 29, was schol- arly man, an university alumnus, and had looked upon life under hard conditions from almost every quarter Of the globe. He had been an editor, a lecturer, an actor, singer, and in the Savor theater, London, had per- formed for the first time several roles of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
 He told many amusing tales of his early struggles to get @ foothold as an actor and singer. He met the usual discouragements of the pro- Vlnc1al amateur-his home was in York, England, where his father was Lord Mayor-but convinced that he had talent he journeycd up to Lon don without parental consent and without credentials or introduction went to the Savoy theater The stage door being open and the keeper ab- sent. Browne gained access to the stage. It was early in the morning. before rehearsal time and the place seemed deserted save for a short, stout man who was seated in the semi darkness drumming a piano. Browne went boldly up to him and asked whom he should see about hay ing his voice tried. The man turned gruffly upon him and told him to proceed. He sang "A Warrior Bold" The player looked him over and told him he would do. Some time after ward Browne learned that the pianist to whom he owed his engagement was Sir Arthur Sullivan.
 Walter Browne's staunchest friends admit that his lines play better than they read. He undoubtedly was gift ed with that faculty of writing direct ly at his audience. His language is most effective because it is simple and not profound. His literary style is ruggedly sincere. There is no trace of pendantry, no pride of in- tellect no display of imaginative power for it's own sake. "Every- woman is as simple, direct and sim cere of purpose as John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress" written as John sBunyan might have written 1t had bo ~berlr 'f7ffr1 tired' in a New York lodging house instead of Bedford Jail.

 Every nerve in my body was throb- ping. I decided to take a warm bath in the hope that the effects of it would enable me to sleep after awhile. l went to the bathroom and turned or the hot water, then went back Go my room, undressed, and put on my bath robe, and slippers. In the bathroom again I tempered the nearly boiling water with cold water, and when it was at the right temperature slipped into it's grateful warmth. I thought that it would quiet, me, but after drying moisture from my body and getting into my nightgown I found myself shivering with ner- vous chill. threw on a heavy bath robe, and with tout waiting to plait my hair, my nightly custom, I hurried into bed, drawing the covers tightly around me.
 After awhile I grew warmer phy- sically, but I felt as if my heart were frozen. I did not expect that Dicky would come home before the early morning hours, and I lay with eyes wide open wondering what l should do when he did come.
 l heard the clock strike ten! eleven, twelve! A few moments after the stroke of midnight I heard a queer fumbling at the door of our living room, a muffled sinister sound. I sat upright in bed listening. What could it be?

How Many People Would Have

 Everyone who hears the story, laughs heartily and says. Isn't that just like Hastings?" You see, it seems to all of us a most unusual thing to' do. We know we wouldn't have donod it, and we know ninety-nine peopiel out of hundred would never have thought of settling down to fishing ten minutes after such hair-breadth escape.
 And yet. when you look dRt lt thoughtfully, isn't it the most natural instead of the unnatural thing?

 They were coming down a steep hlll when almost the worst thing that can happen to a machine hap pcned to them-the steering gear broke. At the foot of the hill was bridge over a pond; they cn- reened frantically across the bridge and plunged part way under the one rail fence. They came to 2 stop with two wheels under the fence, hanging over a ten-foot drop, and fifteen feet of water.
 You can imagine the celerity with which they climbed out on the farther side of the machine, rejoiced over their narrow escape.
 Of Course They Made For the
 Telephone.
 You can imagine, too. that the next thing they did. was to find their way to the nearest telephone and telephone to the nearest garage for assistance. But I don't believe you can ima- zine the rest. The garage was twen- ty miles away, and in the hour of waiting, instead of reviewing his cs- cape from all angles and talking it over with all the inhabitants of the farmhouse where he telephoned, what do you suppose the male motor ist did?

Schools That Find Themselves.

From the New Republic.
Vocational training in the Gary
schools means. that whatever work is
necessary in the way of repairing, con-
serving. beautifying or enhancing the
facilities is done by the school itself.
These large, lavishly equipped modern
school buildings require a force of me
chanics to keep them in repair. Their
shops are the Industrial and manual
shops for the school. The children
work in them with skilled union work
men. who are employed not primarily
as manual training" teachers, but as
assistants to the building superintend-
ent.
The mechanics teach by allowing the
children to help them as apprentices
They earn their salaries by repair and
construction work, while the children
who desire 1t get an incompatible vo-
cational training at practically no cost
to the town. Where the ordinary trade
school must have large classes to make
the enterprise pay, the Gary vocational
work may be done with the smallest
groups. for the shops are paying for
themselves anyway.

NEED OF FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

turning point in our econ omic history.
In the future the new world must lean
less heavily on the old.
There is no difference of conSerya
tive opinion that the United States
does not aspire now to take the place
of EuropeS leading financial powers
Our own field of operation is still too
vast to enable us, or to render it even
desirabl for us to become the worlds
banker at this stage of our own de-
velopment. But the safety of all coun-
tries-and we include England among
their mum mber-demands that if again
the latter should find herself forced
to call upon her debtors for instant
payment, there should be at least one
to shoulder a substantial portion of
the burden.
Financial Independence Aim.
The development of all America
nations lies in the same direction.
though there will be difference in de-
gree. 1t must be the aim of the United
States from now on to move rapidly
toward entire financial independence
1t must be the aim of her sister re-
publics so to divide the credits need
ed for their future development that
the temporary breakdown of one credi-
tor will not seriously embarrass them.
They will enjoy the greatest degree of
safety in this respect if their creditor
nations are geographically, politically
and econ omically separated from one
another as far as possible. So that in
case one should become involved the
other may be expected to remain un-
affected thereby.
Though in normal times closely con-
nected with Europe the American con-
tinents ought to be so organized as to
form distinst unit in times of emer-
gency-a union whose transportation
and credit systems will remain un-
broken even though all Europe should
