LYCEUM TO SHOW
 DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS

Douglas Fairbanks, king of them all in his latest and best big. motion picture, "The Man From Painted Post'' will arrive in town tomorrow with that famous smile of his fand will en- certain the New Britain public for three days at the Lyceum theater Douglas tells confdentially that there is something good in store for his friends who see this picture Tn 1t he has hundreds of opportunities for put ting over his own unique comedy, and besides, he plays the major part in one of the most virile plots ever fea- tured on the screen.
 "The Man From Painted Post" was written by Fairbanks himself, and he wrote 1t with the intimate knowledge of what the public wants This is without a doubt his best offering, completely overshadowing all previ- ous endeavors and once again proving the truth of the adage that "wine grows better with age" Fairbanks in his initial attempt as author com pines with it his natural born ability as an actor. htus giving the public q treat that is worth the wait.

but she is still June Caprice, and re- tainS every ounce of the winning per- sonality that has earned for her a big corner in America's heart. In His Picture in the Papers,, Fairbanks, as the son of Phineas Protein, the man. ufacturer of Protein's Protoid Prod ucts, is told by his father that if he ever expects to inherit the family bus mess. it is up to him to do something to advertise the business. Thereafter, Doug bends every effort towards get ting his picture in the papers, and what looks at first like snap, de velops into a task that demands every bit of athletic antics and comedy stunts that this lively young stunt master is capable of On the same big program will be shown "The Man Trap, which is the title of the eighth episode of 'The Seven Pearls", in which Mollie King and Creighton Hale have been making themselves famous for the last several weeks. This chap ter opens with a running fight be- tween q sailing vessel and a fast nav al launch, and it ends with one of the most thrilling stunts ever concocted for photoplay. The ninth chapter of "'Thc Red Ace' and the Pathe News will also be shown.

up gangs of cattle thieves. Men adept with the gun earn their living by mur- dering law-violating thieves, and one of the most famous of the class was Fancy Jim Sherwood" The story went the rounds, and Sherwood ad- mitted the truth of it, that many years before, his sister was mur- dered by a notorious badman, "3O-3O' Smith, who escaped after committing the crime.
 That murder steeled Sherwood's heart and he devoted his life to fight ing men of Smiths class. His only occupation was the rounding up or cattle-thieVes, and he took delight In the work because he knew he was In part, avenging the death of his sls- ter. Then comes the call to sec t1on between the Big and Little Lara mic where thievery is rampant and cattlemen feared the safety of them selves and the cattle. The ringleader was a man named Madden.
 Sherwood undertakes the gigantic task of remedying matters, and while so doing comes to the realization, through an acquaintance with girl, that his place in life was not what it should be. Then, when he is fighting to drag Himself out of the rut into which he had plunged, he realized that the man he is after, although go- ing under the name of Madden, is none other than Smith, his lifelong enemy.
 Torn between emotions Sherwood fights it out, and what he decides forms the big point of this remark able tale While there are grippingly dramatic moments in this play, s'alr- banks shows himself as adept at this kind of work as when playing lighter parts, he outdoes himself

Becoming Clothes for Men
BY RUTH CAMERON

Do men, as a rule, l wonder pick out their clothes with any definite eff fort to get something becoming? Or do they look upon clothes as some- thing required by law and the eli mate and not worth spending any thought upon?
 When one sees man who seems to have considered the question of becomingness in picking out clothes he stands out so distinctly from the rest, that l Suspect the latter is the case.
 I know that some of my masculine readers are backing away from the very idea of picking out clothes to become them. They are stigmatizing it as fopplsh and unmasculine.
 Not Against Nature.
 I don't think that it is necessarily so, by any means.
 Nor against nature. The male bird remember. has the brighter plumage
 Of course I should not like to see Q man who put so much stress on clothes that he neglected his business for them, or starve himself for the sake of fine things to wear.
 But I do not see why an Intelligent selection of those clothes which by their color and fit bring out his best points and his worst, is anything a man should be ashamed of
 Why Not Harmonious Clothes?
 I like to see a man whose clothes have some distinct relation to his personal appearance. For instance, take a man with iron grey hair. Put him in brown suit and blue neck tie, say. He has no distinction. Put him in suit just the right shade of grey, and either a gray or black tie, Cor a tie of some vivid unusual color

1.-THE LONG TRAIL"
 KEENEY'S OFFERING

In presenting Lou-Tellegen and Mary Fuller in the Famous Players production of The Long Trail' on the Paramount Program, it is felt that this stellar dGo will be unusu- ally popular with the amusement seeking public when it will be seen for the last time at Keeney's theater today
 This photoplay was written by Eve
 unsell, and this fact, coupled with the fact that the production was directed by Howell Hansel and has for its stars two of the best known screen favorites. should more than vouch for it's popularity
 Lou-Tellegen is seeu as Andre Dubois,' the young French dian trapper. living in tho wilds with his little sister Michctte. Mary Fuller plays Louise Graham. an orphan whoso only living near relative is hel. sea pegrace brother The way Andre unconsciousy compromises Louise and causes her hypocritical friends to desert her. and then marries her to l save her from the advances of the ! uncouth lum bermen of the place { makes a tale that is intensely inter- l esting in its freshness and originality. l In the meantime, Louises brother 1 and Andres little sister Michette have l had an unfortunate affair and com 1 plications of all kinds enmesh Andre l and Louise who all this time have l been living a queer sort of double- l housekeeping arrangement, and incl 1 dentally coming to care more and 1 more for each other since their l strange wedding.
 1 Eve Unsell has brought the story 1 to "a most satisfactory ending and the 1 final "fade-out' shows us the two 1 standing hand in hand watching the

 Some men know will laugh at my mention of these smaller details put like to see things match. Of course l don't mean the colored handkerchief, tie and socks Kind or matching. That's too obvious, too bought by the box. I mean some deliberate selection from his ward robe as I have mentioned.
 Most Men Look Well in Dark Blue.
 Some men are wonderful in the right shade of brown (not too pro- nounced brown); some men look their best in dark blue and almost all men look well in it Gust as plain dark blue suit is the safest choice for the average Woman). Cur too, makes a whole lot of difference With men. I don't know much about the subject but I do know that short men and especially short men with an inclination toward being fatter than they once were, ought to be very careful what cut they wear. Belted, sk1mpy coats for instance are fatal to them. Tall men can be more reck- less.
 No, I wouldn't give two pence for a man whose mind was always on his clothes any more than you would, reader friend, but I don't see why g. man shouldn't show his taste, if he has any in selecting becoming in stead of unbecoming things to wear, and in combining the different parts of his wardrobe harmoniously.

 What It Contained. It was a half sheet of the cheapest kind of note paper absolutely blank, evidently put in the envelope for the sole reason of protecting the short newspaper clipping it enclosed. The clipping was from a New York
 newspaper and bore the heading,
 Short Shrift for Spanish Spy The story bore a Paris date line and was
 the story of a man of mixed German and Spanish parentage-but who had lived for years in France-Who had been discovered in reasonable prac-
 tices and summarily executed.
 There was no name or initial on the clipping, but the words of the head line were underlined in red ink, and there was a wavy line of red ink drawn around the entire margin of the clipping.
 Cousin Agatha Comments.
 I read the thing through. and then turned it over and over in my hands, minutely examining it for trace that might suggest the identity of the sender, but to no avail It might have dropped from the clouds for any evi dence it betrayed of the hand that had started it on it's mission.
 I was thoroughly puzzled, and all though I tried to deny it to myself a h1, yc oli in ping sent in so strange a manner. I tried to reasSure myself with the, ar gument that perhaps the man spoken of in the dispatch was known to some other Mrs. Richard Graham, who might live in village of Long Island with name similar to Marvin.
 But I knew, even as it flashed into my mind, that it was most far fetched. well-nigh impossible ex- planation. The clipping was meant for me.
 Then I thought of a conversation the Durkees and Dicky and I had once had concerning spy activities. had ex- pressed rather decided opinion that this country was honeycombed with them. Alfred Durkee had laughed uproariosly at my strictures, pretend Ing that he would be afraid to come to my house any more, for fear that I would suspect him of reasonable activities and warning his mother with burlesqued solemnity to mind her p's and as" when she was with me, or shed find herself marched off to prison.
 It must be Alfred Durkee who had sent me the clipping I decided with relief, and started to tear it up and throw 1t into my waste paper basket. But some impulse made me lock it up in my desk instead. And glad indeed I was that had done so. when the next day, Cousin Agatha, with inquisitive hatefulness in her voice, said as she handed me another grimy envelope:

 l flushed resentfully, as I generally do at Cousin Agatha's remarks. Her tone intimated that I must have some extremely undesirable acquaintances somewhere. But although I had no possible idea as to the sender of the letter, my pride wouldn't allow me to gratify her petty malice by telling her so. She would have taken it as bit of deference on my part to her opinion. Therefore I slipped it into the pocket of my sweater without second glance, and went on with the bit of mending I had in my hands until had a chance to slip away to my room.
