NORTHWEST SCENE
 OF FOX'S PICTURE

A we'll diversified show of unusual merit will entertain the patrons of Foxs theater today, the feature being one of the best constructed melo- dramas that has yet found it's way to the screen. It is called Until They Get Mel" and is an absorbing story of the Royal Northwestern Mounted Police. This famous, but at the same time little known organization, is reputed to be the most efficient body of police in the world, and members thereof have been known to follow criminals of the dangerous sort for years, until they finally got them. And that is the theme of 'Un- til They Get Me- The star of the picture is Pauline Stark, whose work as the unappreciated slavy of the western ranch, and later as the darl- ing of the Police Post is of the kind that makes stars famous. A scream ingly funny Keystone comedy, The Iceman's Bride," from the studios that made Charlie Chaplin famous, adds much laughter to the program, and 8 number of other shorter subjects perfect the bill. Tomorrow will bring William Fox's new acquisition to star dom, who is none other than the popular daredevil, Tom Mix, reputed to be the nerviest man before the screen. Mix will be remembered for his thrilling stunts in a two-reel pie ture called "Movie-Stunts' which ap- peared at Fox's during the summer and he has the reputation of risking his life more in the course of week than other performers do in their whole 1ife-times His new picture is a corking good western success, "Cu- pid's Round-up." The second chapter of that big new thrill-serial, "Ven- geance and the Woman" is called Loaded Dice," and it far exceeds the enviable reputation which the first episode gained for the continued story when it opened last week. This serial will make of it's stars, Carol Holloway and William Duncan, the most fa- nous serial performers in the busi- ness. Mutt and Jeff will add to the entertainment with lots of new non- sense which Bud Fisher has conceived for them, and the Pathe News, show ing the latest news of the world will also be on the program.

 sES take you all day,'' Dicky retorted disa greeably. It was fortunate for my self-possession that I am used to my husbands exaggerated statements -a few minutes delay is always hours to hirn-else would have been much disturbed at tho idea that Dicky had an inlzling of my long conference with Lillian.
 "You're Not Sore?''
 s"Lucky for you I got you now,' my husband went on, "else you Wouldn have known where I was tonight until about midnight. I'm going to Phii&- delphia with a bunch of the fellows there's a stag dinner down there to- night. and I won't be back until late tomorrow evening"
 "But where could I reach you by telegram if anything happened?" l asked with all a woman's instinctive aversion to being ignorant of her hus- bands wherea bouts for any length Of time.
 "Telegram!" exploded Dicl1y. Well, of all the rot! I'll be gone twenty four hours, and you want to know where you can reach me by tele- graph! Whats the matter; think I'm lying to you?'
 The crass vulgarity of the speech made me shiver mentally But it had one effect I would not have repeated my request for Dicky's address if my life itself had depended upon the knowledge.
 He gave me no chance to answer, however, even if I had wished to do so.
 Agatha says mother is very com fortable,' he went on, and his tone had an apologetic tinge, ''so there's no reason in the world why l shouldn't go. So long, my dear You're not sore, are you?' I struggled hard to answer him l pleasantly but the hurt of his care 1 less ignoring of my wishes was too poignant. And the little leering devil l who never is far away when there, s any unpleasantness between Dlcky and me surely must have prompted my answer.
 'I Wait Opp q don't see that my state of mind ] would either concern or affect you, i I said frigidly.
 l "Oh!" Dicky gave a longdraw1 whistle Well, if that's the way you l feel about it, good night!' And he l hung up the receiver with a bang. l I turned away from the telephone with my eyes filled with tears of self ! pity Woman-like, I hadn't expected 1 the conversation to end so suddenly l In the back of my brain there had | lIrked a hope that Dicky would give 1 me an opportunity to say something kinder before he left the telephone

VAUDEVILLE OPENS
 AT LYCEUM MONDAY

The most important announcement in local theatrical circles for the en- tire year was made last night by the management of the Lyceum theater when the public was informed that vaudeville was to be installed at the theater in connection with the motion pictures.

For a city of 64,O0O population, New Britain is in need of real theater amusement, it's present equipment being sadly deficient The management of the Lyceum has had plans in the works for a long time but has awaited their completion be- fore making an announcement.
 And now comes the announceme ent in detail. Commencing Monday of next week, three acts of good vaude- vile will be offered with a variety
 of motion pictures, making three
 hours entertainment afternoons and
 a similar amount evenings. On each
 Monday during the factory close
 downs, shows will be continuous and the acts that play here Mondays will also be on the program Wednesday, the theater being closed Tuesdays. Then on Thursday change will bring three more acts, and they will be on the program Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
 Variety is assured. There will be no humdrum successions of the sam e sort of acts; but they will consist of the different classes of entertainme ent touring vaudeville circuits. Singles, doubles, trios, sketches and girl acts'' will be presented, and each bill will ! be as good as the other. The motion pictures will not be sacrificed for the vaudeville, but will be up to the usual l Lyceum standard, which means the best all the time.
 For years the public has been ask
 ing for vaudeville, and now here it is.
 It's success will depend upon the pub lie, and if proper support Is given the new plan, then the management will be spurred on to great efforts, and every time greater acts can be se- cured, they will be brought here re- gardless of expense. Remember the Lyceum Monday Wednesday, Thurs
 day Friday and Saturday for the best vaudeville and the best pictures in the city. Huff said

ANN PENNINGTON
 AT LYCEUM TODAY
72,zzzc,

Little Ann Pennington, the bril- liance of whose personality and abil- ity has radiated from New York all over the world comes to the Lyceum today in her latest motion picture, The Antics Of Ann," lively, inter- esting, comical, rollicking story of seminary life, adventure, love, mys- tery and fun. Quite a com bination, it must be admitted, but those are only a small part of the ingredients that go into the picture.
 Miss Pennington danced her way into ''The Red Widow" as a starter on her way to theatrical success, and then naturally leaped into the Fol lies," where New York saw, stared, wondered, and then admired. Then she was taken by the motion pictures and scored another huge success.
 So we'll did her first picture go that she was prevailed upon to do few more, and she did them. This is her best As seminary girl who refuses to act normally she presents a char acter that gives her scores of oppor- tunity for work that will serve to place her name more firmly in the list of brilliant satellites.
 The Antics Of Ann" will head the Lyceum program today, and Friday and Saturday. On the same program will be the Lyceum Weekly, Keystone comedy, and several others. These will be three big days at the Lyceum.

THE SPOTTED LILY
 ON KEENEY'S SCREEN

Capt. Franz, on a hiking, trip
 through Brittany, seeks a nights
 pdging at the home of Yvonne La
 ours parents. There he sees the
 etty French girl and becomes enam-
 red of her youthful charms. When,
 xt morning, he seeks to induce the
 I to follow him to Berlin, she dis
 ns his advances. He departs but warns her that he expects some day to return at the head of his company of soldiers and that she will then be at his mercy. X
 Yvonne loves Anatole, a village youth, but follows the dictates of her religious bent and enters a convent. Anatole worships her from afar, con- soled by the kindly words of the will lage priest. Finally Anatole enters holy orders and remains in the town where Yvonne lives in the convent. Suddenly their peaceful land is invad- ed by the Prussians, and true to his prediction, Capt. Franz marches into the village at the head of his soldiers.
 Learning that Yvonne is in the con- vent, Capt. Franz invades it's sacred walls and threatens the inmates. Up- on his promise that he will spare the other nuns, Yvonne goes with him and leaves Father Anatole to mourn. Af- ter the war, Yvonne returns to the vll- Iage and seeks out Father Anatole. TO his care she entrusts her babe, begs him to call her Yvonne and to always protect her. The mother dies happy in the good priests promise to devote his life to the care of the child.
 The years pass and Yvonne grows to ] beautiful .girlhood loved by Jean Du- val, a village youth whose musical soul absorbs what ambition he pos sesses Selfish and rather egotistical, Jean devotes himself to his violin, lov- ing Yvonne with what affection re- mains from his self -centered devotion l to himself and his music. Father Anatole sees only good in Jean and 1 believes that Yvonne's happiness cen- ters in the shiftless youth.
 1 Again war devastates the land, and l before the advancing soldiers Father Anatole f1ees taking with him Yvonne and Jean. The good priest determines that Yvonne shall not suffer her moth ! CTS fate and goes with his two charges i to America. In the new land Jean continues his shiftless ways, Yvonne devotes herself to Father Anatole and 1 thus the three live in modest quarters upon the scant savings the priest had 1 brought from his homeland.

SIDE TALKS
The Real Workers.
BY RUTH CAMERON

to find it so large. This ought to be very easy,' I thought
 Plenty of Names, But Not So Many
 Workers.
 But the secretary. who helped me, was a wiser and less optimistic wom- an. As I suggested name after name, she would say, "Oh, that woman doesn't ever work" Eventually it boiled down to a comparativey small corps of workers. Again and again these women responded splendidly to the heavy calls made on them. From the rest you could scarcely get casual help.
 Look about your own town. What percentage of it's population is really active in the public business of the town, the committees of public safety, the church work, the Red Cross, the work for the old folks home, the woman's club and all the rest. Prob ably one small and overWorked tenth. Some of the rest I know are truly too busy; some are too lazy; some too self centered.
 They Lack Self-Starters.
 And more-and this I consider a valuable hint-are just too lethargic. They would work if someone made the effort to get them started, but they don't have the self-starters.
 It is easy for one of those natural born workers to do a thing herself or to persuade one of her kind to do it than to get @ lethargic person started But in the long run she does everyone-the lethargic person in- cluded-more service by following the 1 line of most resistance.

IS IT LUST A COLD"?
New Britain People Should Ask Them
 selves This Question.


 Don't say: Its just a cold" It may turn into backache. rheu- natic aches. or achy joints. Or other serious sickness that comes from weak kidneys.
 Colds are due to congestion. Congestion makes the kidneys overwork to filter the blood.
 Colds often leave the kidneys weak. First break the cold;
 Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to avert the kidney dangers.
 Let this New Britain resident tell you about them:
 Mrs. J. Young, 95 Elm street, says: T have used Deans Kidney Pills for backache which has come on when I have caught a cold. They have all ways given me relief. I know Doan's Kidney Pills are good and that is why I recommend them to others.' COG, at all dealers. Foster -Milburu O., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
