This trio of films should attract large audiences. They are big dramatic Of ferings and are probably the most eN- pensive attractions booked for the en- tire week. The stars heading the casts in each occupy a high position in filmdom. The Mary Page serial has been running for fifteen weeks and has been followed by a large number of the city's film devotees.
 For tomorrow and Friday the man agement will feature the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, Kennedy Square, with Charles Kent and Mdr- jel Ostriche. The program will be enlivened by Frank Daniels in ''Mr Jac, the Hash Singer ''Lem's College Career,' a two-part comedy, and the Lubin drama, "Hearts De- sire will also be on the bill

Nothing New

"Women tell the truth but only half of it."
 X Few Remarks On Women.
 "Woman impromptu, man on re- fection," is an Italian proverb. Take woman's first advice, not her sec ond," is the way the French put it.
 The German says, 1.-TWO cats and one mouse, two women and one house, two dogs and one bone will not agree long" while the English put it, 1.-TWO women placed together make cold weather
 "Another's care hangs by a hair" is the Spanish method of describing how lightly our neighbours cares' weigh upon us, while the English saying is, "Other peoples troubles never keep us awake nights
 What They All Think of Money.
 The omnipotence of money is a fa- vorite subject of the proverb-makers. It is interesting to see the different ways in which they express it. Good manners and plenty of money will make my son a gentleman" says the Portuguese. Money does not get hanged" says the German. Money is an epitome of human power" says the Italian. Money turns bad into good" says the Spaniard.
 One could go on indefinitely multi plying such examples, but these are enough to show how minds of all ages have thought alike. Of course in many cases nations intermingling with each other have exchanged proverbs. but in such cases one finds exactly the same proverb in the diff ferent languages. In the cases I have quoted the varied forms of expression show that the same thought comes independently to each and finds it's own form.

 Better luck next time, Betty" Lillian answered carelessIy, flashing a mischievous glance at me. 'I sent for you to tell you I would like luncheon served up here by the fire"
 " d better think again, Miss Lillian" Betty's tone held imper- thence, but excitement and anxiety as well. "Yoh knows dat smothered chicken and creamed caulif1oWer ob mine needs to come straight from the fire to the table. It wouldn't be fit for a cat by the time I'd get it clar up here. Besides, I got the table in the dining room all set and ready. 1 aint goir' to tear eberyting up and bring it up here"
 ''Oh, have it your own way. Betty" Lillian returned wearily. How long efore luncheon ?"
 ''Jes about i ) minutes.'
 "Very well. We'll be down.'
 Betty vanished and I tried to con- coal my amazement at the latitude Lillian allowed tho woman. I knew Betty was a privileged character, but this weak yielding of Mrs. Underwood tO her whims seemed to me to be the extreme limit of indulgence.

DETECTIVE LIFE IN
 PLAY AT LYCEUM

It is a mystery to most people, this clearing up of a murder, but the en- tire secret workings of a detective are revealed in the play at the Ly- ceum this week, "The Argyle Case" The play is built around actual hap tective, William J. Burns. Tho Argyle Case is founded OF a reel murder story. an actual occurrence One of the features of the entire per formance is the introduction of Il dictOgraph. This is in the third act when the cOunterfeiters are at work in one room of a tenement house and the detectives are in the next room listening to all the proceedings through the medium of this great invention. In the last act a record of the conversation between the crooks is produced.
 Alfred Cross as Asche Kayton has one of the best parts assigned to him since coming to New Britain. His right hand man is depicted by Philip Sheffield who gives the audience an insight into the exact manner of getting finger prints of suspected per sons. MISS Julle Herne as the adopt ed daughter of the murdered man, MT. Argyle, has great chances to dis play those powers of emotional acr- ing for which she is justly popular. She is accused of knowing who com- mitted the deed.-in fact, is accused of having committed the murder her self. Later. through the efforts of the detective, she is cleared of tho suspicion and plays an important part in clearing up the mystery. Miss Florence Hart has a sym pathetic role as the wife of the counterfeiter and the man who committed the murder. "The Argyle Case is one of the most unique melo- dramas ever produced in New Britain. It is in four acts. Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard is playing here for the last time this week. after which she goes to Syracuse. N. Y.
