News For 7heater8oe1Y and Women Readers
THREE FALL IN
 LOVE WITH BILLIE

The eternal triangle, generally known to be composed of the man and wife and the other person takes on new aspect in Billie Burke's picture. ''The Mysterious Miss Terry" Imagine a working girl living in the melting pot of a big city-the average boarding house-where three of her fellow -boarders fall in love with her, and she, trying to keep friendly with all three, loves but one man. In this case the trio furnishes something be- sides the tragedy that follows in the wake of the eternal trio' and fur nishes pleasing background for some excellent acting by Miss Burke.
 Mystery, that big uncertainty, that something that is indefinable yet al- ways present, here for moment and there the next moment. is one of the principal ingredients in the whole some play. The love element and deep mystery are usually kept apart in the average motion picture, but "The Mysterious Miss Terry" takes the dare and presents both. Who Is Miss Terry? Who is Miss Wentworth? Is the hardware clerk also the society bud? Is there but one girl in reality, or are the two distinct personages?
 " 11Cn one OI the three LeiI "OAf n ing young boarders in the big city boarding house wins the object Of their combined admiration? These are some of the many questions that arise and go towards making 'The
 Mysterious Miss Terry one of the biggest successful mystery-1ove stories
 of the year.
 Miss Burke will be seen at the
 Lyceum theater today and tomorrow
 under special agreement with her
 husband, MT. Flo ziegfeld. Jr., and
 in the picture scores an even bigger
 hit than she did in "Gloria's Ro-
 mance.' The Paramount Picture Corporation, which is producing Miss Burke's pictures has furnished her with excellent backing, so that the excellence of the stars work does not deteriorate through poor work on
 the part of other players in the pie ture, as is the case with many of the
 pictures done by present day picture stars. Thomas Meighan, who recent ly appeared opposite Pauline Freder- ick makes a good leading man for Miss Burke. There are plenty of op- portunities for strong acting, and the players take advantage of them. How America is preparing for ac- ] tive work in the field is shown ii, l complete form in the Lyceum Week. ly. The first games of the worlds | series will also be shown in the 1 weekly. Douglas Fairbanks will greet his legions of friends Thursday. Fri day and Saturday when he appears for the first time in the city in Down to Earth" Fairbanks is one of New Britain's most popular players and his popularity is well-earned. Since start ! ing his newest series of photoplays Fairbanks has leaped to the top of 1 the pile and Is still there. with that never fading smile still beaming or his features.

CONSCIENCE" NEXT
 ON FOX'S SCREEN

Gladys Brockwell, who made her most recent appearance here in The Honor System, will head the bill at Fox's tomorrow in 8 most extraord1n- any piece of work, entitle. Con science. It is an allegory of life. or unusual construction. It comes With a scene in the study of the blind poet, Milton, while he is dictating the opening scenes of his great poem, Paradise Lost, to his daughters, and as he creates the characters, they take life, the principals being Lucifer and the Archangel Michael. Later the scene changes to the twelfth cen- tury with the reincarnated Lucifer in the guise of the immoral Dr. Norton, who. with his consort Serama, play havoc with mems souls. Miss Brock well plays double role, that or tho interruptions Serama, and of the un- sophisticated Ruth. As can be readily seen, she has unbounded opportunity of demonstrating her versatility. Tho Seven Pearls and the Red Ace will also be shown. Announcement is made that the moving pictures Of the Worlds Series will be shown at F'ox's on Friday and Saturday.

MAY MARSH AS
 POLLY" AT FOX'S

Tonight will mark the last showing at Fox's of that sensationally suc- cessful picture, Polly of the Circus, Goldwyn's initial and triumphant pro- duction in which that remarkably original little star, Mae Marsh is featured. It is truly one of the most exceptional pictures that have ever been screened, for it combines in an unusually realistic manner the specta- cular with the artistic and dramatic so as to produce one of those rarities perfect entertainment There are thrills without number, pathos and wholesome humor in abundance. The story is thoroughly human, dealing With two classes of people, one of them most familiar, the narrow-mind- ed citizen of the small town; and the other. that very interesting being, the circus performer It shows -graphi- cally that pain and misery can four 1sh just as easily under paint and tinsel as in sock-cloth and ashes, and the grieving of the old clown, Toby, While he makes every effort to amuse the huge audience that overfows the circus arena is as typically heroic as anything that battle fields can produce Polly of the Circus'' is strange tale. It tells of the experiences of a HItle clrcuS girl, who, having been in- jured in the performance of her dar- ing bareback act, is left in a little town to recuperate. Circumstances make her the guest of the young minister, and naturally he falls in love with her. And just as naturally the deacons of the congregation are prejudiced unreasonably against the innocent waif, and they deliver an ultim alum to the effect that either she must go, or he will lose his church. A horse-race plays an i'm portant part in the proceedings and Polly, mounted on Bingo, her circus steed, defeats the deacon's entry for a five hundred dollar purse. The racing scene is by far the best that has ever been screened, even sur passing a similar scene in '"The Whip Another thrilling spectacle Is the burning of the big circus, during the show.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

bag with lessening of nervous ten sion. Cousin Agatha, however, still had a shaft left in her quiver.
 Do you know, Harriet she said with a detached, impersonal air, as if she were discussing something which had no relation whatever to our conversation, II have often wondered where your daughter liar riet found her maids. They were the most wonderful girls. l don't think I ever saw one of them with so1led apron, or in the least dishevelled. even when performing the most menal of tasks
 Mother Graham's Defence.
 Much Harriet had to do with it!" returned my mother-in-laW tartly. She never knew what maids were in the house. I hired and trained every one she ever had. She was too busy helping her husband in his work to bother her head about the house. And I can tell you it took all my time and every scrap of energy l possessed keeping them up to the mark. I'd throw up my arms at this maid of Margaret's though. I couldn't keep her in order. I'm surprised Margaret manages her as well as she does. She's an unmitigated nuisance, but you see she's an old protegee of Richards, is devoted to Margaret, and they're both too soft-hearted to discharge her."
 My heart warmed to my irasc1ble old mother-in-law. As she had de- tended Dicky against the insinuations of her cousin, so she had come to my defence. It was worth many petty pin bricks from her to know that she at last counted me as one of "her own,'' to scold and to protect
 Cousin Agatha sniffed: You must have misunderstood me, Cousin liar riet. l had no intention of making any comparison between your daughters maids and the one here, whom I had never seen. But your words would certainly lead Mrs. Gra- ham to think SOL
 Don't be fool, Agatha, just be- cause you know how snapped my mother-in-law.
 Her cousins lips frightened in a grim little line that I knew spelt SUD- pressed temper, but her face didn't lose it's martyr-like expression. I had no real knowledge of the relations between these two elderly women, but I had a shrewd suspicion that for some reason it was to Cousin Agatha's 8 interest to defer to my autocratic mOther-in-law

Why Mother Graham Said 'Don't Be
 a Fool Agatha'

a Fool, Agatha
 must have looked the consterna- ton I felt when my mother-in-law said she wished Katie to unpack her travelling bags, for she put up the lorgnette she always uses when she wishes to be especially dignifled and impressive, and regarded me fixedly.
 You appear strangely disturbed, Margaret, at so simple request" she said. coldly. "Of course, if you aren't willing to have the girl assist me, I suppose Agatha and I can try to act as our own maids.''
 Please don't distress yourself, Cousin Harriet the other woman murmured. T will unpack both bags I have slight headache, but that doeyn't matter am sure it will get better as soon as I have a chance to lie down.
 Joan tied to the stake could, not have spoken with more saintly re- signation. But had a most unsaint- ly, angrily childish desire to pull her hair. She was so like sleek pussy with her claws so near the surface, so ready to act, yet so cleverly hid den.
 I had no time for angry impulses, however. I must decide quickly about Katie-poor Katie, who, I know. would rather take her chances in a shell bombardment than to face the battery of critical eyes which would scrutinize her in Mother Graham s room.
 ARntha's ''Dctached'' Air.
 A sudden idea came to me, one that gave me courage to hope it would save the situation temporarily. knew that a domestic storm would break when my mother-in-law learned of Katie's prospective motherhood. But if I could only postpone the discovery until this hateful Cousin Agatha should be absent from the scene, I felt the worst horrors of the combat would be eliminated.
 ''Why, mother!" said, and tried to put into my voice just the right note of loving daughterly reproach. You know I am very glad to let you have Katie. But she has been scrubbing and isn't fit to help you until she has changed her gown. Let me take you up to your room, and I will send her to you almost directly"
 "I suppose that will do," my mother-in-law returned, but her tone was not half as ungracious as her words. and I picked up her travelling
New Britain herald., 1917-10-16

It was plain that she expected to enter upon a perfectly satisfactory existence.
 That was four years ago.
 The other day I met her and she was hunting for an apartment.
 She Found Boarding Not Ideal.
 "Yes,' she said, ''I'm going back to housekeeping for a while anyway. I'm so sick of boarding house cooking and living in two rooms and being tied to the dinner bell. I want some privacy and freedom"
 It was plain that she hadn't en- tered upon perfectly satisfactory ex- istence when she went to boarding.
 I am afraid one never does.
 One is always expecting some change of circumstance to do away with all the annoyances, the vexa- tions of existence.
 And one is always finding out that while the change may do away with one set of annoyances. it Is apt to bring others.
 She Acquired q Maid-And New
 Troubles.
 I knew a woman who used to think she would be "perfectly happy" (that ever beckoning mirage) if she could have a maid and not have to hurry home to get dinner and rise from the dinner table to a mess of dishes. She finally acquired a maid and found a new set of annoyances She and her husband were fond of eat ing at irregular hours. the maid, needless to say, was not They loved to have friends drop in unannounced. the maid did not. The wife liked her dishes washed and drained in cer- tain heat and orderly way, the maid did not. And so on-I am sure you can fill out from your own experience.
 People are always trying to make some outward change which shall rid them of all untoward circumstances It can't be done. The only way to get rid of annoyances is to teach oneself not to be annoyed by them.
 Happiness Must Come From the Heart. All lasting serenity must have It's roots in the heart and not in circum- stances.
 Of course it is sensible to plan your life so as to minimize annoyances and discomforts but you can't eliminate them. You must supplement these plans with the habit of taking some annoyances for granted. You must realize that even if you could have things different there would still be other annoyances. You must train yourself to take untoward circum- stances cheerfully and courageously. Make as little of them instead of as much as you can.
 The older I grow the more firmly am convinced that so and so only can one be happy.

THE STACKER" ON
 BILL AT KEENEY'S

Emily Stevens, tho great emotional actress in The Stacker" proclaimed by all "The New York Papers, as the screen sensation of the year, js the principal attraction of a double bill at Keeney's theater all this week.
 The Stacker Is a nations devo- ton and Q nations problem expressed in visible form. No American can see it without feeling 8 deeper love and appreciation for his country than he ever knew before. In the story, Margaret Christy and Robert Wallace have been engaged for two years. but he shows no desire to get married un- til war is declared. The announce ment Is made that single men will be called first, then he hurries to the altar. His wife, intensely patriotic. plunges into recruiting work. Her relatives and friends enlist,-but her husband does not. Finally she learns the truth.-he IS a stacker. Shame and anguish overcome her. How she meets her problem is told in a masterly way which will thrill the spine of the nation. The Stacker" is a production for which every loyal American will give profound thanks.
 In marked contrast is Fannie Wards dy-drama of fun, thrills and society, Her Strange Wedding" The settings are admirably chosen; the types are all good, and the sub- titles fairly sparkle. Story, direction and acting form one of those nice blends which interest all people.
 In addition to the two feature pro- auctions, Pathe Weekly reviewing all current news of the world and select ed comedies will round out the bill. Heading the bill this week is James Sincis & Co. MT. Sincis is we'll known to theatergoers as an intertainer of great merit, and he has also gained popularity as song writer and some of the biggest song hits of the past years are among his selections. The added feature of the vaudeville bill is the act of Anthony Andre & Co.,, in ''The Beggar Man"
