Bah" RETURNS TO
KEENEY'S THEATER

Two big features are the attraction
at Keeney's theater today and tomor-
row, "Bab's Matinee Idol', with Mar
guerite Clark as it's star, and Frank
Ign Farnum in The Empty Cab" A
well-known saying exists to the effect
that the best goods come in the small
est packages. This applies to dia-
mOnds and foodstuffs-under war
time conditions--and to Marguerite
Clark under any conditions at any
time in any place. Marguerite Clark
is one of the tiniest of all the small
motion picture stars of the film firma-
ment-and it has long been notice.
able fact the greatest stars are the
smallest. 1t was with the Aborn OPP
era company at Baltimore, however,
that the full butterfly Marguerite
Clark emerged into popular favor and
ever since then she has been indeed a
butterfly" fitting from one success to
smother, both on the legitimate stage
and in pictures. Some of her best
known stage successes were: Jim the
Penman", Baby Nine, Lights OF
London, Snow White and "PruneR
Ia"
The other feature is Franklin Far
mum in 1.-THE Empty Cab" which APP
peals to the lovers of adventure. For
the benefit of those who have not seen
this wonderful picture, it can be Said
that not one important detail was
omitted in the making of this great
production. T.
The L-Ko comedy this week tells
of life at the seashore and the many
amusing situations convulse the audi
ence with laughter.
The vaudeville bill includes three
of the best acts seen anywhere. There
will also be the Screen Telegram and
the Universal weekly.

'HOUSE OF SILENCE"
AT THE LYCEUM

The packed houses at the Lyceum
since the first showing of THE House
Of Silence" is sufficient enough to
show that the actor, Wallace Reid, is
a general faVorite in New Britain.
Everyone is willing to admit that
their faVOrite has scored q triumph
in THE House of Silence" Mr.. Reid
portrays the role of a wealthy club
man whose hobby is the investigation
of crime and in which he is excep-
tiOnally clever. He learns of q sup
posed murder in q mysterious house
and with a hatpin and purse as the
sole crews to the perpetrator of the
crime, he begins his inquiry. Natur-
ally, there are numerous complicat-
ing, thrilling incidents in the unravel-
ing Of the mystery, but he does his
work artistically and his reward is
the love OF woman who figures
largely in the story. The story of this
superb picture embraces in every
scene the clements of mystery, alb
sorbing drama and intense heart ap-
peal Today is your last chance to
see this wonderful picture. The vaud-
eville bill is exceptionally good and

cial Allied War Review. the true
scenes of your boys in France, and

and imm ediately asked the cause.
And then my tormentor won my ever

was one of her favorites and [ en-
phatically was not. AS matter of

The Skin-Out-Of-It Lie.
lere are many kinds of lies.


There are lies that are comparative
harmless-for instance there is the
untrue statement we make simply
because We don't stop to think.
This, and the lie protective-the lie
which we tell to protect someone else
are surely the least blameable Of all
lies. Told by a person who dislikes
lying, who would not lie to help him
self and lies in this instance because
he thinks more of others than Of him
of virtue.
The 01eancst OF All Lies.
But at exactly the other end of the
scale, TO my mind, stands the sI<in-
out Of-it lie.
Of course you know what the skim
out-of-it lie is--the lie one tells to
get oneself out of a scrape or free one
self from blame.

supply collected under the titheinp

1t is the first time in Mormon his
tory that anything has been allowed

In other lines of food conservation

HURRY! HURRY!

Secretary Baker, when he APP
peared before the house military
committee on Monday, emphasized
the fact that the American govern
ment and the allies have determined
on prosecuting the war with all pos
sible vigor.
Mr.. Baker told the committee that
there were two ways to win. zone
way is to make every possible effort
to do it now" he said, "and the other
| is to proceed somewhat more lei
surely and do later. The obvious
advantage from every standpoint,
social, military, industrial and econ
omic, is to put forth every effort in
this country and win the war as soon
as possible"
General March amplified the plan
by stating that eighty divisions of
$4,000 men each could go thru the
German line wherever they wanted
to-" He also declared that with an
army of this size in France next year
we shall be able to bring the war to
successful conclusion in 1919"
Essential things for an accomplish
ment Of this kind are millions of
men, and billions of dollars. All Of
the war-making bureaus and depart
ments of our government and Of the
governments of our alliesh have re-
made their plans to conform to the
necessities of this supreme effort.
This means that every individual
in the United States and in the allied
countries must also remake his or
her plans. Those men who have
been counting on going to war next
year will be needed in the immediate |
future. Those persons who were
considering new sacrifices next year
SO that they could buy more liebrty |
bonds or thrift stamps must make /
their sacrifices now.
1t is clearly the hope of the allied I
supreme war council that Germany |
will be decisively defeated in one
campaign next summer.

muster. Nothing must be lacking.
