"CUPID'S ROUNDUP"
 ROUNDUP OF LAUGHS

Tom Mix, the new Fox star, has cer- tainly delivered the goods. For weeks the approach of this daredevil cow boy comedian has been horalded, and his arrival in "Cupid's Roundup" at Fox's yesterday more than fulfilled all most entertaining and versatile star that has yet found his way to the screen. He combines the best ele- ments of the most prominent mascu- line performers and adds to them lot of originality and pep which is bound to win him instant popularity wherever he appears. With him ap pears one of the prettiest actresses that has been enlisted under the Fox standard, Wanda Petit. The story of "Cupid's Roundup" deals with the adventures of a young Westerner and eastern girl, both of whom have more money that brains. They are be- trothed from birth by their parents, and when being advised of the fact each enters a mighty strong protest. They have never met, and each in sists on delaying the marriage one month, that they might have some in- dividual freedom before being tied down to humdi-um welded life with a strange partner. Tate, hOWeI CT, takes a hand in the proceedings, and decrees that they both strike for little known and wild town in the far west for their holidays. And thcre they get mixed up in s0merhaiT-rais- ing escapadcs while travelling incog- nitO. The young man is taken for Q cattle-rUstlcr and has his hands full in escaping the Vigilantes who are hunting him. Tho girl, t0O, finds her. self in trouble which is serious enough to require the utmost speed on the part of her hero to extricate her. But speed is the keynote of the picture, from the time that Tom Mix breaks the wild broncOs that has put the oth- CT cOW-punchers out of commission, to the time he leaps through tho win dowS of the express train from the back Of a galloping horse. Loaded Dice!" is the title of the second chap ter of 'Vengeance-and the Woman, and it lives up to the expectations which were founded on the thrilling excellence of last weeks episode. A funny Mutt and Jeff comedy called "I4aug-hing Gas" and the new Pathe News are among the other features of the program. The show will be run continuous today, with special per- formance at five o'clock this after noon. Sundays feature will be Sirens of the Sea-" that beauty picture with Carmel Myers and Louise Lovely, as- sisted by scores of other pretty girls. It is said to be one of the most won- derful water-sp spcctacles that has yet found it's way to the screen. There will be two shows Sunday, at and o'clock, and three on Monday, at 2;15, ,, and 7:30.

VAUDEVILLE COMES
 INTO ITS OWN AGAIN

On Monday of next week the first real vaudeville show of worth that the city of New Britain has housed in years will make it's bow When the word vaudeville" is used, it is meant to convey everything good the word ontains-vaudeVille de luxe, With every act a top-nQtcher, and the best booking house in New England behind it, and prices within the reach of everybody. That is what the Ly- ceum theater offers. Now it is up to the public to show whether or not clean, decent amusement is wanted.
 A glance at the bill which has been selected to open the theater under the new system shows the Hanamura Japs, jugglers, acrobats and comedians, leading the bill. Then comes the Bur- lingtOn Comedy Four a quartet of ''rubes," followed by Barlow and Deer. two sweet misses who sing and play and entertain in a general manner. Diagnosing the case, as a doctor would say, each act is found worthy of first place.
 Every Japanese act that gets into good theaters is always acceptable. These small men from the East always entertain us of the West with their unusual feats, and with joy the man. agement learned that it would be able to secure such an act the first week. Rubes as stage chara cters enhance the excellence of any theater program and this comedy four" lives up to that rec ord. The duo, third on the list, played in the various theaters on the circuit and were received With favor.
 Mondays program will be contin- uous, and the programs on the other Mondays included in the close-dovn order will also be continuous in order to give the men and women oppor- tunity to witness the performance The theater will be closed on Tuesday and will reopen Wednesday. Thursday will bring a change of program for the three remaining days of the week. Performances will close afternoons in plenty of time to allow persons to get home to prepare supper without losing any part of the performance.
 Besides the vaudeville there will be good motion picture offerings to round out the program in proper manner. William Russell in Sands of Sacri- fice," will top the motion picture pro- gram. and the Lyceum Weekly and Alice Howell, in another of her roar ing comedies, will also be features. This program is unbeatable. There is nothing in town that can touch it. The INceum will be the trysting place Monday of every lover of good enter tainment. Be with the crowd,

"AUTICS OF ANN'
 LYCEUM HEADLINER

A new star has been brought to the attention of the motion picture public in the person of Ann Pennington, shining light of the "Follies' of last year. Her reputation as a screen art ist is now assured as result of her excellent work Thursday and Friday at the Lyceum in "'The Antics of Ann" and today offers the last opportunity to see her. Miss Pennington as a daredevil little seminary girl, always doing something mischievOus in a diff ferent way, goes across big.
 She sets a couple of hearts going a little faster and brings to the audience an insight to the doings of Broadway during the lively hours along the great thoroughfare. Complications that pile upon each other as each foot of film is unrOlled keep the outcome in SuS pense all the way. Miss Pennington has been seen in a few good pictures, but without a doubt she outdocs her self this time and scores Q great per sonal success. On tOday's program with this feature will be the Lyceum Weekly, a Keystone comedy, and SeV- eral others. ToGay's shO.v will be con- tinuous.
 Sunday night means the usua! pres entation of the best pictures in the city The Lyceum will have Madame N'' as one feature, with another inter esting story also a feature. The Ly- ceum Weekly and numerous other pictures will conclude the big program

Finger Exercises
BY EuTM QAA1EIaON

There is a certain dream which everyone I have ever interviewed on the subject,-and for the fun of the thing I have asked several people, has had.
 Myself, I have had it not once or twice but just about once in so often.
 The dream is that I am back at school
 Psychologists say that all dreams eX- press subconscious fear or deslre. There is no question which this ex- presses.
 Why Do We Hate School So?
 The dream came again the other night and started me to wondering why we hate school so and if some thing couldn't be done about it.
 It isn't wholly because it's hard work. I've worked infinitely harder at times since I left school than l ever dreamed of working in school.
 And never, even in college, have 1 concentrated as I som chimes concen- trate now. I was correcting some proofs the other night in the wait ing room of a shop where l was to meet a friend. After I had finished l sprang up, started to go to the mail box to mail it and became conscious of someone at my elbow. Well said my friends voice, i've been sit ting there about a foot from your nose for the last ten minutes and ] think it's about time you noticed me-" I had been sitting at a double desk and she had been sitting at the other half of it in front of me. Now I never worked like that in school.

 There was a distinct pause Then the voice said smoothly:
 You may tell her he is in as good condition as we can possibly expect"
 My heart sank. I had had enough experience with physicians and their Frederick Graham must be in grave straits indeed. But there was all the more reason for hastening the mes sage to his wife.
 Thank you,' I said. ''I will see that the message Is delivered imme- diate1y.''
 Thank you," the interne replied. Good by"
 I stood in puzzled thought for a mo- telephone How to deliver the mes- sage with the least possible confusion to this other woman, to whom, a1- though I had never heard of her be- fore, | felt sympathetically drawn. I

The Work Seems Aimless.

The Work Seems AinIess.
 It seems to me that the chiId's dis like of school comes rather from the fact that we don't seem to be work ing for any particular end there. The goal is too far off. We feel we are being set tasks just to amuse the teacher, not for any definite purpose, We aren't either really playing or really working.
 There are some educators who are1 trying to combine school work with play in some miraculous way so that the child will learn without knowing it. .-a= Am Afraid School Must Always Be
 NIonotonous.
 Perhaps this will work out. But somehow I have my doubts. I am afraid that the foundation of an edu- cation must ever be laid, like the foundation of proficiency in any line. in definite effort. No one can ever become proficient in music without finger exercise The multiplication table and the dates in history and the Latin declensions,-are they not the finger exercises of the mind?
 And you know what PaderewslI said about his finger exercises,-that if he omitted them for a day he mo- ticed it in his playing, if he omitted them for week his audiences mo- ticed it, and if for month the world noticed it. Surely we are lucky if we can leave ours behind in the schoolroom.

When I took down the receiver a moment or two later and heard nervous Hello" after the operator had secured the number, I made my voice as cheerfully nonchalant as possible.
 'T Should Be Glad"
 'Is this Mrs. Frederick Graham ?" 'Oh, yes, yes!" The words were staccato, the voice that of a woman in agony.
 This is Mrs. Richard Graham of Chase avenue,' I said hurriedly, still in the same cheerful manner, "and I have such a good message for you from Pemberton Hospital which was 'phoned me by mistake. I told them phoned it myself"
 I laid special stress upon the word good" and was rewarded by grate- full, sharp exhalation of breath, more expressive than any exclamation or flow of words with which the anxious woman at the other end of the wire could have greeted my phrase.
 There was a perceptible pause be- fore she spoke. I knew from expert \ ence of my own emotional crises that she was trying to compel her voice in calmness sufficient for utterance.
 Will you tell me what it is?" she said at last and the tears sprang again to my eyes at the sound of her tremulous voice.
 I recited the message slowly and dictinctly.
 Another pause, and then the voice again, this time With a distinct trace of sobs.
 Thank you so much. You are very kind indeed to take so much trouble for a stranger. l have waited so long for that message. am in finitely obliged to you"
 I have always rather prided myself upon reading people through their voices. It's a hobby of mine. I visu- alized this woman upon the instant. A stately, gray-haired woman, cul- tured, we'll bred, whose inbred and trained courtesy no emergency could ever make her forget-a sudden i'm pulse of liking, longing to serve her seized me.
 "I will see to it that if any other message comes by mistake to me you will get it at once,' I promised. And Il wish I could be of service to you. You're a stranger here, are you not?" we have only lived here three months" the tremulous voiced an- swered. 1T know no one in the will lage. MT. Graham has been ill ever since we have been here"
 "Please don't consider it an intru- sion if I ask to come to see you," I returned. q have known what it means to be alone among strangers"
 "Intrusion!" The voice was elo- quent. 'I should be so glad to see you"
 VI am coming soon," I said ear nestly.
