That Very Thin Covering
BY RUTH CAMERON

Very. very close under the skin in most of us lies a naked and naive egotism.
 Our own personal relation to every event is what chiefly interests us, no matter how carefully we hide it.
 Now and then something rips this covering off. One such some thing which has an almost universal effect is any great excitement.
 Tho Night of the Big Fire.
 Not long ago I happened to be present at a big fire.
 All my neighbors also attended and the next morning when neigh bor met neighbor there was no other topic of conversation but that. And nearly as interesting as the fire itself was the naive and really de- licious egotism that almost all of us displayed.
 What He Was Doing of Prime Importance. In the first place everyone seemed to think that what he was doing when the fire broke out was the most interesting thing about it. One told circumstantially how she went to draw down the curtain aft CT putting her baby in bed and just ! what she thought when she saw the l flames. Another was just eating her

Agatha" Dicky replied contrltely' This is Madge," drawing mo forward And if you will excuse me long enough to get into some decent togs I'm going to turn you and mother over to Madge. She'll take care of you. Luckily, I believe dinner is almost ready, isn't it, dear?" He turned to mo with seraphic smile, and no hint of the almost hair-pulling terms under which we had been existing be- fore their taxi drew up.
 "Where Is Katic?"
 Almost ready" I smiled back, but with an inward tremor at the thought of the "pick-up dinner" I had planned for this Sunday, the last before we went into our new house. "But come into the library and take off your things, or will you go directly to your room?"
 You mean our rooms," corrected my moth er- Jaw. You of course must remember that I never can stand having any one in my room. Ana Cousin Agatha also wishes a room to herself
 "Of course," I said, trying to make
  "but I am afraid I must ask you both to go into your old room, mother. for two Or three hours, until I can get another room ready. You see, were a little upset just now, as we are mov- ing, and then I had no idea you were coming"
 "Moving!' My mother-in-law's voice was filled with amazed disap- proval. May I ask you why l was not informed of this? Not that any place would not be better than this old shack''-she sniffed her disap- proval of the Brennan home-"but my own sons home, that neither of you thought it worth while to tell me that you were moving. Where are you going?"
 "Over on Chase avenue" re- turned, "and. indeed, mother we in- tended no disrespect to you. We wanted to be all moved and settled when you came back, so that we could surprise you with our new home, which we hope will be much pleasant CT for you than this"
 Well, you've surprised me, all right" my mother-in-law returned but the acerbity of her tone was much lessened, and I began to hope that my valiant attempt at modifying her had met with success. But her next question upset me completely.
 'Where Is Katfe?" she said. 'I want her to help us unpack these bags"

ployed But they would fall far short of an adequate description of the dainty little lady. There is some thing about her, some odd attractive ness that cannot be expressed in words It was noticeable when she first began to attract attention in 'The Birth of a Nation," and again in, "In- tolerance," and it lends to her pres- ent vehicle, "Polly of the Circus," an irresistible quality that has been per- ceptible in no other picture that has yet been made. The picture itself, even without the star, is unrivalled for everything that goes to make a film sensationally successful. There are enough spectacular scenes to equip ten such picture, and the realism of these bits is superb. In particular should mention be made of the parade of the circus through the streets, as complete as P. T. Barnum himself would have had it, with a calliope, bands of music, orna- mented wagons, lions, tigers, and all the rest of the penagerie, together with the larger animals, horses, cam els and elephants. The early morn ing arrival of the circus, the great midway, with thousands of people surging among the freaks of the shows-they are all shown so nat urally that one can almost smell the saw-dust and "hot-dogs." And as for thrills, it is only necessary to mention two of the big scenes that almost drove the huge audience frantic with excitement They are the big horse races, in which Polly, astride her cir GUS pony, defeats the entry of her hateful enemy, the deacon who want ed to ride her out of town and the photo -silho ouette of the conf1agration and panic under the great white cir GUS tents, showing the escape of the wild animals through the panic stricken spectators which leads up to the grand and gripping climax of the story. There is not dull mo- ment in the whole eight reels.

BILLIE BURKE AT
 :, THE LYCEUM TODAY

Certain names and certain beings are connected with the stage in such manner that to mention one inn plies the other. The stage world boasts of many celebrities whose fame has spread not only in the cities where they have personally appeared but in far cities and in foreign coun- tries. Thus certain players become international favorites. In the list of stage celebrities, one name stands out probably more clearly, more distinct ly than any other. Billie Burke, for years favorite of English music halls and New York stage produc- tions, and one of Americas most popular actresses, is truly stage celebrity, of the highest rank.
 Although born in Washington, D. C., she spent many of the years of the tender period of her life in Eu- ropean countries, but America claims her as it's own. and Miss Burke is certainly worth claiming. After es- tablishing favor in this country and in Europe she has set out to conquer a new world, the dumb art, and in motion pictures she is going consist ently higher and higher. New laurels are becoming hers, she is acclaimed again a star, and Miss Burke is earn ing 1t all.
 Her latest picture, "The Mysterious Miss Terry" comes to the Lyceum theater today and will remain Tues day and Wednesday.
 / The Lyceum Weekly will be of greater than ordinary interest this week, with views of Americas prep arations for war, and scenes from the
 
 eral other pictures of interest will be on the program. Thursday, Friday and Saturday will bring Douglas Fair banks in Down to Earth" Fair banks is one of the Lyceum's biggest bets, and always attracts capacity audiences. In this picture he does all the stunts that made him the top- notcher he has proved to be. and some new ones.

How Mother Graham Came to tho
 Rescue of Madge.

 was afraid to look at Dicky when his mother answered my long and forced explanation of our delay in opening the door for her by her point ed remark concerning the surprise Richard had exhibited upon seeing her and her cousin.
 had just said that had told Dicky I had seen them talighting from the taxicab. I had saved him from one horn of the dilemma, only to impale both of Us on the other.
 But Dicky was equal to the occa- sion. He had already kissed his mother once, but he grabbed her in 8 bear hug and turned up her face to his.
 Don't be so suspicious, mother dear." he said. "Of course I was sur- prised to see you both. Is there any thing very strange about that, con- sidering we supposed you to be safe down in Florida and that I haven't seen or heard from Cousin Agatha in years?"
 (Which is certainly not Cousin Aga tha's fault" that lady put in with just exactly the sepulchral sniff I should have expected from her. was afraid I should dislike this new 'relative-in-law' intensely If she kept up the promise-or, rather the threat of her first appearance in our home. II was good enough to be re- membered and visited and written to when you were a small boy with an unsuitable appetite for quarters and sweets. But of course, since you be- came prosperous and famous, things are different"
 I had classified Cousin Agatha" and card-indexed her before she had finished her speech. She was the perpetual-martyr type of female. which is bad enough when it is lach- rymose and inefficient, but which is deadly when a coldly critical spirit and real ability for work accompany it.
 Mother Graham Speaks.
 To my amazement and secret joy, however, it was Cousin Agathas little speech that solved our dilemma for us. Mother Graham is one of the kind of mothers who will criticise her children and children-i in-law herself unmercilessly, but who fiercely resents any disparaging remarks by any one else.
 I'm sure Richard has always been wonderfully thoughtful of ME-" she remarked coldly, and, really, one cannot expect busy professional man to take time for corresponding with all his relatives. If he writes to his mother regularly-as Richard has always done-I think he has done more than many sons do"
 No doubt Richard Is a paragon" for rtl tb,,% ;c that any reason why I shouldn't be introduced to Richards wife?"
 T do beg your pardon, Cousin
