OLIVE THOMAS AT
 LYCEUM TOMORROW

Broadway's latest contribution to the cinema world, Olive Thomas, fa- nous for her work with the Ziegfield Follies and for her professional con- nection with Harrison Fisher the art ist as the typical American beauty will return to New Britain for an other stay, arriving tomorrow and re- maining until Saturday night at the Lyceum theater in An Even Break This famous shoWgirl, who has tak ken the picture world by storm and bids fair to earn place at the top of the list in filmdom is doing remarkable work before the camera, but in her latest picture exceeds the hopes of even her most ardent admirers. Fig uring her individual work, without giving thought to the enormous eX- pense attached to the production or the wonderful scenic effects secured, Miss Thomas scores one of the big gest hits of the year.
 In An Even Break" Miss Thomas plays the part of Gotham's faVorite just as she did for several seasons in real life, when as the star of Zieg- field productions she set the heart of old New York aWhirl. How she is won bv her childhood sweetheart is a tale worth watching, but the de- tails. the scenic effects the lighting masterpieces, the innovations in the line of special attractions, and the company of artists with which the Triangle Company backed this star go a long way toward making the picture the big hit it has proven to be. Special sets that occupied an en- tire stage and cost as high as $6,O00 apiece, and a beVy of girls experienced in the work of the choruses of New Yorl<'s most famous dining places and theatrical productions form but a small part of the features introduced while the expressing story is told.
 Briefly, Olive Thomas is one of the most famous actresses now appearing on the stage or in pictures Her fame is international, and she is sought wherever she goes. Realizing that the general public would appre- ciate seeing the talk of New York" she was secured for the pictures and appeared in "Madcap Madge" She made a hit. Then she was secured for another picture. and An Even Break was chosen as the vehicle Directors were given a free hand, and the result is picture extraordinary. One scene, for instance, reproduce tion of Minot's Cafe, which provides the background for considerable of the plays action, measures 100 by 200 feet and other lavish sets set a new mark in motion picture grandeur. The story itself deals partly with life in small town, shifting then to New York. Throughout, Miss Thomas is the center of attraction, and is cos tuned in a manner to which a Zieg- field star alone does justice. ..

This afternoon and eve- ming Charles Ray, in Sudden Jim, '' and Mary Pickford. in Poor Little Peppina,' a double feature program, will be the attra etion Yesterday brought packed houses and today, the last opportunity to see the two stars. is expected to result in results at least as pleasing, if not more so.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Why Dr. Petit Took Madgc to Lillian Underwood and How He Said
 "GOOd-by."
By ADELE GARRISON

Why Dr. Petit Took Madgc to Lillian
 Underwood and How He Said
 "Good-by."
 Up to the moment that Dicky and I faced each other at the foot of the stairs leading from the private dining rooms of Fistori's, I would have asserted confidently that I knew every mood and tense of my husbands temperamental nature. But his behavior in the unusual combin- ation of circumstances surrounding our unexpected meeting gave me a glimpse of him from an entirely new standpoint.
 He must have seen the groping gesture with which I turned to Dr. Petit, must have heard the little heartbroken cry l gave when I saw him come down the stairs from what l was sure was one of the private dining rooms with Edith Fairfax, the art student from Virginia. But whether he read the gesture and cry correctly as my amazed wifely pro- test at his being there with the girl, who, l was sure, cared for him, or whether he interpreted them as ex- pressions of dismay on my part at his seeing me with Dr. Pettit whom he detested, I could not determine.
 For with just the right amount of casual friendliness he smilingly bowed to me, made a careless ges- ture of greeting to pr. Petit, and with a murmured word to the girl at his side, drew her on toward the door,

Cleveland, Nov. 2l.The present crisis
will bring government control of the
railroads, rather than government own
ership, but government ownership is sure
to come and soon, was the view ex-
pressed yesterday by w. G. Lee, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen. He spoke on the eve OF his
departure for Washington, where he will
meet with the president in a series of
conferences on the governments trans
portation policy,
He reviewed the present impossible"
situation, in which railroad workers de-
mand substantial increases in pay while
the roads insist on increased revenues to
permit them to meet the country's war
needs, and concluded that government
control of the roads, rates and wages
was the only solution
Asked whether railroad dictatorship
was possible, he said it certainly is"
In time of war the government GER
tainly has the power to fix minimum

Uses Not Kept

Boston, Nov. 2l.--Officers and agents
of the Joint Building Trades of Boston
and Quincy are not much in sympathy
with the utterances of Mr.. Gompers on
patriotism first and working conditions
second; and break between the locals
hereabouts, whose members are employed
on government jobs, and the American
Federation of Labor would not be sur
prising
The committee of the Joint Building
Trades, after a three-hour session at
headquarters, 1856 Harrison avenue, yes
terday, expressed the opinion that its
members had been sold out" by inter-
national officers who are CLOSE" to
Washington.
1t is claimed by the Joint Building
Trades that union men went back to
government jobs around Boston on Sat
urday, but that promises made by Stan
ley King, representing Secretary of War
Baker, have not been kept.
Representatives Of the building trades
say that the red fire and patriotic play"
of Mr.. Gompers is all very well; but
they ask the pointed question: "How can
a cigarmaker sit down and decide what
is best for the building trades? We have
asked the international officers to come
here and investigate matters, bat all We
get is kilograms saying they are too
busy"
Henry B. Endicott went alone to the
Fore River corporation plant yesterday !
to get some information about the strike
conditions. Admiral Harris of the navy |
department had been expected, but he
did not appear. When the business
agents of the Joint Building Trades |
finally have an audience with Admiral
Harris, it is their plan to ask him wheth-
ar the international officers, when they |
we're in Washington, stated plainly the
conditions in Boston TO which the build
ng trades take exception.
