HUMAN INTEREST IN
 PICTURE AT FOX'S

"Other Mems Daughters" at FoN's has big human appeal. In the play Miss Hyland is Shirley Reynolds She is in a convent whom her mother calls and tells her she has secured a divorce because of her husbands acts Shirley goes to her fathers studio and finds a gay party. A girl called Lola Wayne is dancing to the applause of the men and Wo- men around Shirleys father. Lola's father arrives. Seeing the degrada- tion to which his daughter has fallen he plans to strike Reynolds by drag ing Shirley down. A stirring series of events follow. The dauehter comes out of the traps safely, brings her father to his senses, re-unites him to her mother and begins a romance of her own. Peggy Hyland plays a trying, emotional role and is well supported by Robert MiddlemaS of New Britain, Erie Mayne and others.
 Romance, comedy, intense drama, novelty, dancing and music are all brought out with picturesque truth and vlvtdness in the life story of MT and Mrs. Vernon Castle as shown in the big photoplay spectacle "The Whirl of Life which is the attrac- tion at Fox's theater tomorrow night. This feature will have q double in terest in that it was the only picture ever made by the late Captain Yer non Castle. and Was completed short ly before his sudden death ar K ely Field TcXus.

KEENEY'S PATRONS
 PLEASED WITH SHOW

With transportation facilities as they are at the present time, Mile. Madeleine, the singer now playing at keeney's theater, manages to carry several trunks of magnificent gowns with her. Some of the most bewitch- ing gowns ever worn in New Britain are worn in her opening number. Needless to say, she is as particular about them as she is of her voice and some time ago, while playing in the west she refused to work unless her manager secured a special car to transport them. Her maid is con tinully occupied in taking care of them.
 The Aster sisters close tonight after making the biggest hit any sister team ever made in New Britain Their dancing has won the applause of Keeney's patrons all week. Harji Sambolia & Company introduced to the patrons an entirely new and ori- ginal act that combines magic mirth and carries the audience into the realm of mystery. The Screen Maga- zine completely surprises the audi encc of it's range of scenes The Universal Weekly never fails to show the leading events of the week. The ElcO comedy starts wave of laughter that magnifies until the screaming finish Several one reel pictures alternate between comedy and pathos. mingled with the usual love entanglements SO characteristic of the movies. William Duncan, the movies most popular hero begins q romantic serial of the snow clad peaks of the northwest, a story of brains and brawn, to win a girl and fortune. This wonderfur serial, en- titled "A Fight for Millions'' starts July F. The Bluebird film always maintains a reputation for the best feature pictures, but Kenneth Harlan and Carmel Myers in "A Broadway ScandaT' ovorstepped ths reputation and according to those who witnessed this picture the verdict is the "the best yet.'

 I Haven't Eaten Six Mocha Cakes a
 Day Yet.
 It is some years since I earned my own money, but I haven't eaten half dozen mocha cakes a day yet I went into the bakery and bought one in memory of old times. But they Wern't so good as they used to be; apparently they had left out some in- gredient (can you guess what it was) and, instead of regretfully savoring the last mouthful, I gave it to a Wist- ful puppy that l chanced to meet.
 At the age of ten, my sister, being urgently requested to turn her atten- tion from Dick the Errand Boy" and Bob the Bootblack' to some other form of literature, declared that when she was twenty-one, she would read every book that great and wonderful author wrote. I don't suppose I need to tell you what became Of that phophecy.
 The Man Who Did Not Forget. Occasionally, to be sure, one does not forget I know a highly suc- cessful author who never subscribes to a magazine but always buys them off the newstands, because when he was in college, he used to hang over the stands so eagerly and never could afford to buy all the magazines he wanted.
 | rather suspect there is a touch of that sympathy imagination which has made him so successful a writer in that tender memory of the wist- fitness of the boy-that-was.

 But you don't work with the vim and zest of former days. Your sleep is not restful, and you don't enjoy your food as you once did. And your nerves get the best of you. Things bother you, ruffle you, that you never noticed before. You begin to see diff faculties where there really are none. Trifles worry you, and not having enough troubles of your own. you borrow some.
 Of course, to a casual observer you seem the same, because you are try ing to control yourself And if you should tell a friend, or go to an in experienced doctor, they will tell you you only imagine things; you should shake it off. You begin to doubt your self. You sometimes think they are right and try to brace up and De bright and cheerful.

SIDE TALKS
When You Are Grown Up
BY RUTH CAMERON.

When I'm grown up," I heard a little girl say, the other day, I'll go to every circus that comes to town"
 And I thought to myself. II won- der if you will or if you will forget to go at all.
 Not that grown-up people don't go to circuses. 1 know one middle-aged couple who have never missed a cir GUS yet. But it is so dangerous prophesying, at five or ten or even twenty, what one will do when one has entered into that magic state of being where no one can forbid one to do just what one wants q am rather glad it isn't until one enters therein that one realizes that sad truth that circumstances can forbid just as effectually as people, and that freedom of action and responsibility for action are tWins).
 A Bal1eshop Opened the Flood Gates.
 1 was visiting, this spring, in the town in which my Alma Mater is To- cated. One day, as I was passing down a side street, l suddenly found my mind flooded with memories. For a minute, I did not know what had unlocked those floodgates; and then l consciously saw what my subcon- scious mlnd must have already seen, -a little bakeshop. In my under graduate days, when we finished our work in the afternoon, a certain two of us used to walk to that bakeshop and buy ourselves mocha cake or eclairs. The eclairs were two for five and the mocha cakes five each. I can remember how hard it used to be to choose between them, and how swiftly they disappeared and how hungry we would still be when the last crumb of our nickel's worth had vanished! Of course, we could have spent another nickel without going bankrupt, but we didn't feel quite
