DOROTHY DALTON AT
 THE LYCEUM TO-DAY

Two men and a woman! How many stories have been built about that trio and what wonderful oppor- tunities are afforded in handling the subject At last there has been writ ten a tale worthy of the situation, and in this great story, The Price Mark" a real artist, Dorothy Dalton, appears today, tomorrow and Wednes- day at the Lyceum theater. Miss Dalton, according to New York critics was never apparently so beautiful, so refreshing as in this. her most recent offering, and she does justice to the vehicle given her.
 '"The' Price Mark" one of the most gripping tales yet unfolded on the screen deals with the experiences of Paula Lee, a beautiful model, easily led, who becomes enamored of Field ing Folwell, an artist, whose life is not as good and as pure as it might be. Years previous to his meeting Paula, Powell. visiting Cairo, becomes acquainted with Nakhla, a native girl. and her brother Hasson poisons her and attempts to kill the artist.
 Dr. Daniel Melfi, fellow country man, nurses Powell back to health, and they return to this country with the belief that the unpleasant experi- ence has had its f1nis. Back in New York, Powell becomes acquainted with Paula. Powell, intending to marry the girl, has misunderstood ing him, without telling him of her later meeting Dr. Me1fi and marry ing with her and they separate, Paula past life.

SCREEN SPECTACLE
 COMING TO FOX'S

Positively the biggest treat they ever had is in store for New Britain theater-goers this week, for on
 Wednesday afternoon will open at Fox's theater the most wonderful pie ture that the world has ever seen. namely, The Daughter of the Gods" It has been heralded for months in advance, and has been the object of the most eager expectation on the part of every one who has ever heard of it-and who has not? Annette kellermann, the star of the produc- tion, Is universally acclaimed the most perfectly proportioned woman that
 has yet lived, and The Daughter of
 The Gods presents a most fitting ve-
 hicle for her renowned beauty. Nev-
 CT in the history of picture craft has
 there been attempted another picture
 of such mammoth proportions, such
 lavish extravaganza, and it is abso-
 lute fact that it cost over one mil
 lion dollars to stage the picture. Very
 little need be said of '"The Daughter
 of the Gods," for its New York pres
 entation. during which it broke all
 previously existing records by running
 on Broadway for one solid year at
 two dollar prices, literally made the

 be of interest to women in particular
 to know how Miss Kellermann ac-
 quired her notable perfection of form
 and physique. She was born in Aus

 was 8 mere weakling-little better
 than a confirmed invalid. But she
 had all the grip and determination of

The desert country and the rough mining towns are shown in Their Compact" in contrast to the scenes of New York life in which James Van Dyke Moore (Francis X Bushman) originally moves. Going westward, the memory of a bad woman is erased from his heart by the winsome smile of a good one, Mollie Anderson, played bN Beverly Bayne. Soon he Is suing for her favor with an enthu- sasm the fashionable women of so- ciety could never arouse in him.
 Good and evil influences battle in the primitive mining town of Silver vile, and Jim" Moore has need of all his superb physical strength. Of mental courage he has unusual need.
 On Monday and Tuesday, an added attraction will be the. third episode of "Who is Number One?" and there are also several lighter attractions. For Wednesday and Thursday, The Mystery Ship" a wonderfully inter- esting serial, will be shown, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. there will be big double bill, heading which will be the Bluebird feature,
 The Man Trap" presenting Herbert RaWllnson. Brownie Vernon in Fear Not," Keeney Weekly, and other pie lures are on the bill, and at each per formance there will be high class vaudeville.

AND BAYNE
 ON KEENEY'S SCREEN

Scenes of dramatic intensity abound in Their Compact Metros Super Feature starring Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, which will be seen at Keeney's theater, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. One of the closing tableaux, in which Horton, the mining camps evil spirit, suc- cumbs to a tragic death in the desert, is one of the most powerful ever screened. As a sort of poetic justice, he meets his death at the hands of the woman he has lured from home, so that it is his own wrong doing which proves to be his Nemesis.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

the anticipation was realized a few minutes later when after we heard the street door close upon Betty, and Lil- lian had left us again for a moment, she returned, locked the massive door of the library and pulled the heavy curtains over it.
 1T have carried Marion into her grandmother's room," she explained, "and put her upon a couch there. The nurse who is taking care of old Mrs. Morton thinks were going out, and will take care of Marion when she wakes up. And now, girls"-she took a deep breath-"I am going to disclose to you a grave secret that you must keep inviolate as long as you live. The reason do this is because I know you, Madge, and you, Kath- erine, are honor itself. And"-she looked at us keenly-"I need your help in something far more important than merely finding out if Grace Dra- per's in town.

 Doors Within Doors.
 She walked to a door at the side of the room which I knew must adjoin the house upon the north, opened it, and drew us in after her. We found ourselves in large closet lined with I4illian's dresses hanging from hooks. When she locked the door behind her and we stood huddled together in the darkness, for there wasn't much more than room1for the three of us to stand, I began to wonder if Lillian were sane.
 She flashed tiny electric torch and l saw her put aside a long cloak and tumble with a piece of the wains- coting behind it, which looked to my eyes just like any other. But it moved inward, disclosing narrow aperture through which we silently squeezed one at a time, Lillian coming last and pushing the waiscoting back into place again. She scrutinized 1t with the aid of the electric torch, and then pushed a button, evidently an electric cal bell, set in the side of the closet door l for we found ourselves in another 1 closet similar to Lillian's.

SIDE TALKS
Joy Walking
BY HU" CAMERON

ing in an adventure, it seemed noth- ing wrong to look in the windows. We saw quaint old bedroom done in blue, we saw the living room With a vast old-fashioned fireplace, and a mahogany secretary and mull1oned windows looking out over the moor. We saw a dear little modernized Kltchen that, made even me long to cook in it. I had met my fate. When my ship comes in I am going to buy that house somehow, though l can i'll conceive anyone selling It.
 Then we walked more miles and came to the little village which was our destination We made much bother over our small purchases for having come so far for them made them seem vastly important and in- teresting.
 On the way home we stopped at farm house and bought apples and went on, munching them. We met children coming home from school and talked with them.
 Happy Silences or Good Talk.
 And all the way, when we weren't enjoying happy silences we talked as one could never talk in an auto.
 As we came tramping down the home stretch, the blood stirring in our veins, beautiful weariness beginning to creep over our limbs, the phrase I have used at the beginning came into being.

Late in October, while we were still in the country, there came jewel day that beckoned us out doors, and would not be denied.
 We had much to do, and we did none of it. Instead, we went for a long, long walk.
 We walked to a point to which we have often been, but only in ma chine To go there in machine was a commonplace. To go there on foot was an adventure.
 The Motorist Chooses His Road for
 Smoothness, Not for Beauty.
 In the first place we did not go down the state road (chiefy recom- mended by it's good road bed). h. stead. we struck into a little woods road-narrow, half grass grown, beautiful beyond belief. Every turn, every suddenly opened vista of autumn fields, every glimpse of the moor mellowed by autumn suns into a rich greenish brown and threaded by the little blue river, was a pie ture.
 And a picture we had time to stop and look at.
 Then at a turn we came upon the dearest house I ever saw-little, old fashioned, colonial-white with green blinds, of course. The brick piazza was flush with the lawn, bachelors buttons and orange nasturtiums were still flaming in Bakstian harmony in the old-fashioned garden, the ghosts of hollyhocks leaned against the house.
