EON'S THEATER.

In their new creation, the Fox
baby Grands'' have eclipsed all their
previous successes and have set a
high mark for clean and clever
comedy on the screen. Through five
big reels of fun and mischief they
kept their audience in g, continual
state of screams and laughter. Among
the victims of their numerous prankS
are q couple of cross old servants a
q group of O-German fanatics and
q pair Of baShful lovers. To the last
named they prove veritable blessing
in disguise and literally push them
into each others arms. A conspicu-
Gus merit of the Lee Kids comedies
and one which accounts largely for
their popularity is that their out
bursts of clever and unaffected humor
are even more keenly appreciated by
adults than by younger folks. swat
The Spy is a great piece of comedy
entertainments: one which the whole
family will thoroughly enjoy.
Another comedy that eIicted much
laughter and applause was the latest
Sunshine Comedy Roaring Lions on
the Midnight EXPRESS which kept
yesterdays audiences bowling and
roaring for a half hour at the antics
of these comedy lions on a fast eX-
press. The vaudeville bill at Fox's is
of unusual excellence, consisting of
Youna, novelty juggler; Ruth Good
win, singing comedienne; Henry Frey,
monologist and the Sunshine Girls, a
big musical act, with special scenery,
pretty girls, songs and dancing.
For next Monday, D. W. Grifith's
latest masterpiece, 'The Great Love
will be presented at Foxs for three
days The Great Love" has been
conceded to be Mr. Griffith's greatest
success, surprising even his Birth
of a Nation" and "Hearts of the
World" and has the same cast as
these two world-famous pictures;
'fenry Walthall, Lillian Gish, Robert
iarron, Rosemary Theby, George
tawcet and others. "The Great Love-
S in every respect a splendid photo
play of love, war and national devo-
ion to the service of country and
world democracy. 1t is a production
FULLY up to the high standard of art
istry which the name Of Griffith stands
Tor and which he has become famous
for in the field of the silent drama,

tale. In the picture a romance de-
welops which promises to be shat
tered at any moment during the ex-
citing complications which follow,
and the story is brought to a fitting
climax after a series of rapidly NOV
ing incidents which carry all of the
charm that has won for Wallace Reid
q host of friends, the world over In
this production the notable star is
supported by Miss Ann Little, who
will be happily remembered for her
excellent work in the many other
features in which she supported Mr..
Reid.
The vaudeville is of unusually fine
quality. Toresti is a clever musician
who has some novel offerings. War
rem and Templeton are two of the
best COM dians which have appeared
in New Britain for a long while. The
Lamont Trio present a very clever
wire Offering.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES


The bigger the pockets in a woman's
kitchen apron the more uses she will
find for them.
Save the laundry wrapping paper.
Shrink the spool of cotton to be
used for tatting by soaking in boiling
water, and setting aside till quite dry.
Use peanuts on meatless days if pos
sible.
Scalloped tapioca with cheese is an
excellent new dish.
Even griddle cakes can be made
with tapioca.
Add two tablespoonfuls of tapioca
to one quart of clear hot soup stock
and cook about fifteen minutes.

were in controversy.

But if it had been any question in
the world save one affecting the future
OF my baby, [ should have yielded
the point at once to Dicky, for the
avoidance of anything which would
worry him has been an obscssion with
me ever since this INCIDENT. I couldn't
yield this question to him, however,

abased consciousness that the con-
tempt in his voice aroused something
antagonistic in me, made it easier for
me to stand my ground.

stops I replied as coolly as [ could,
with the miserable consciousness that
the baby's yells were changing to
choking sobs, infinitely more alarming
and rending to Il mothers heart than
hoWls. Fortunately, however, [ had
once or twice seen the baby of ONE
of my friends cry to be taken up in
the same distressing way. The incident

The "Firehy Of France, which is
starring the great favorite, Wallace
Reid, marks a milestone in the ac-
tors career. Not only does this pic
ture contain some of the most won
derfully thrilling scenes, but the
breezy plot and acting Of Mr. Reid
are unusually fine. The story concerns
the adventure Of a brave young man
who proves a most delightful hero.
He becomes involved in a series of
exciting experiences with the ever
dangerous spies. How these wolves
are held at bay and finally outwitted
proves a most daring and thrilling

What Happened When Mother Gra-
ham and Dicky Faced Madge's
Determination.

My mother-in-la and l eyed each
other covertly as Richard Second con-
tinued to howl Justify.
Inwardly was as distressed as she
over the baby's crying. I yearned in
tensely to snatch him up and cuddle
him closely, to press his wet little
cheek to mine and to soothe his cries.
But 1 also knew that the least sign of
weakening on my part would be the
end of any control I might have over
my child's upbringing. His grand
mother reminded me of nothing so
much as an old hound upon q leash,
so tense and drawn was her attitude.
That she was waiting, watching,
bolstering her courage to the point
where she would dare take up the
baby, I we'll knew. Knew also that
at any cost I must keep her from do
ing so.
do sit down, mother" I urged
Hospitality, ignoring both the baby's
bowls and her last caustic reference
to the manner in which, according to
her notion, physicians wives kept
their children quiet. I drew forward
a chair as I spoke, but she put out
a peremptory arresting hand.
"Sit down." she exclaimed tragi-
cally. "Sit down and sew calmly
while that blessed little angel is suf-
fering like that! I'm not a Hindoo
mother, thank you, to look on calmly
while a baby is thrown to the croco-
diles"
1 bit my lips hard to keep from
smiling. She was so evidently pointing
her allusion with me.
"He isn't suffering" I returned.
She interrupted me hoarsely.
Margaret, I can't stand this any
longer. Either you take up that baby
or I will"
I rose quietly but quickly, and step
ped between her and the crib.
please don't be angry, mother l
pleaded, "but I must do neither"
She eyed me watchfully.
Then I shall go to Richard" she
said wrathfully.
You surely wouldn't waken him."
I said with intentional reproach in my
tone, reproach which I hoped would
sting her into relinquishing her pur-
pose. Of all things, I didn't wish
Dicky brought into the controversy.
"Waken him." she said with biting
sarcasm. "Of course, he's sleeping
through this"
She indicated the bowling Richard
Second with a tragic gesture.
"AS both his doors and these ara
double, and his room is at the other
end of the hall, I'm sure he hasn't
been disturbed" I returned quietly.
I'D Like. to Inquire
I'm very glad you're SO sure about
it," Dicky's sarcastic voice sounded
from the doorway. But at the risk
of disturbing your peace of mind, [
am compelled to inform you that the
young mans yells could be heard over
in Cresthaven. And I'd like to in
duire, if it isn't too much trouble for
you to answer juts what you intend
doing about it?"
Every flick of the whiplash in his
voice left a welt upon my soul. 1t was
the same icily contemptuous attitude
he had adopted toward me ever since

Griffith's sensational departures in

After Ethe coal ahd soil question had been thoroughly discussed from various angles, in regards to the first price sacking, freight, hghterage, etc.ets. a motion was made that a sub-con1- mittee consisting of, one member representing each organization, be appointed to secure all available data pertaining to the coal and fuel oil question. The aforesaid motion was unanimously carried. Another motion was made that the sub-com- mittee be given full power to for ward by telegram, said information, and also appeal for assistance to MT. J. A. Garfield, the Federal Fuel Administrator. An amendment was offered that a similar telegram be sent to either Delegate Sulzer or James Wickersham. Several were upon their feet at once and express ed themselves that it was better to keep politics separate from the coal question, others said the only way to do so was to keep the politicians away from it.

STORES CLOSED ALL
DAY ON WEDNESDAY,
Merchants Will Observe Holiday
Commerce Chamber Notes

Wednesday, New Years day. will
be observed as a general holiday by
the merchants Of New Britain and
the stores will be closed ali day. The
stores VIII close Tuesday evening at
g.; 80 SIS is the usual custom on eve
nings before holidays. The public
should bear this in mind and plan
their shopping early Tuesday.
The uniform hours committee ap~
pointed by W. a. House Of the mer-
camille bureau of the cham Der Of
commerce, met last week and decid-
ed that the most satisfactory way to
determine the hours for opening and
closing stores could be worked out
by calling group meetings as follows:
Boot and shoes, c1others, hat: dry
goods. lady apparel. rea dy-to- wear,
notions: grocers, cooked food butter
and tea; department stores. ten cent
stores; hardware, paints wall papers,
fittings furniture stores; drug stores
fruit stores and cigar stores.
n definite time will be given to
each group and a representative from
each concern is requested to attend in
order that groups can determine just
needs Of these stores. AS soon as the
entire groups have held their meet
inss, the committee using the recon-
mendat1ons of these various groups,
will work out a schedule that will
cover the needs of all.
With this method, every class of
merchant will have an equal chance
to recommend hours which his bust
ness requires. The final result it is
hoped will work out q. schedule which
should prove Satisfactory to the mer-
camille trade. The chamber urges
full attendance at these group meet
jrgs.
The first meeting will cover the
boot and shoe stores. clothiers and
hattcrs and is called for Thursday
afternoon at O'Clock. Other meet
ing dates will be announced from the
