LYRIC

The Unknown Voice" opened at the popular Lyric theatre for the week, this afternoon The produc- ton will be presented by the well known Pon Players which in itself is the best evidence that a presentation worth while can be anticipated. Se- curing this production is another feather in the cap of Manager George Arvine, who has several more of un- usual merit in the repertoire for the season.
 The Unknown Voice" possesses a freshness seldom found in latter-day plays. It will be remeIn bered solely as mystery play because of the un- fathomable mystery which remains until the very end The most noted detective plays of recent years were Sherlock Holmes" and Alias Jim my Valentine" They were decided ly not mystery plays for in some sub tle manner one practically knew just what was going to happen and how the play would turn out

PLAZA

Topping the bill at the homelike Plaza theatre today Is the gigantic musical tabloid, Whats the Use." The production is fostered by MI. George Choos, we'll known In the the atrical world, having owned and writ ten some of the best successes shown. There are 14 talented people in the cast and among them is the Cs.oos Famous Beauty Chorus, composed of pretty girls who are performers in every sense of the word. They can all sing and dance well, and present their numerous singing and dancing numbers very capably. There is a carload of special scenery carried with the act and nothing that goes to make for good entertainment has been neglected. They are certain to ontinue their successful route during the three day engagement here. Their act lasts a solid hour and is in reality a whole show in itself.
 The feature picture is very good one. It is no wonder Broadway was so enthusiastic about 1t when the stage hit played there, and 1t was de- scribed as one of the biggest successes in 25 years. "The Strange Woman .,tarring Glayds Brockwell, is a most unusual story. It deals with the var ious loves of an American girl who has decidedly set ideas on the subject of matrimony. What these ideas ac- complish in the way of upsetting the scandal mongers in the little town of Dephi, Iowa, is very Interesting, The photoplay is in six reels,
 Other acts on the bill are Smith and Garfield, two extremely clever chaps presenting a somewhat differ ent comedy singing and talking act Marion Brest and Jack Aubrey offer a neat singing and dancing speciality closing with a novelty roller skating scene that never fails 60 appeal, The Official War Review, the authentic United States picture, follows oul victorious army of occupation into Germany and gives the activities O all troops ot invasion First run Gaumont News as usual is packed ful of world happenings,

CHAPTER CIX.
EVERETT JUNIOR.

EVERETT never had been thought.
80 full did not know it was in him
Although | recalled that whenever ]
had been i'll he had been considerate
Perhaps he thought when was well
| didn't need consideration.
Without my knowledge, he had
sent for Mother and she came about
two weeks before my boy was born.
| was SO delighted to have her. Now
1t seemed to me l never should be
unhappy again. When 1 held my boy
in my arms l forgot all the mean
things that people had said when
Everett married me. l forgot his
neglect, and was as happy as the
day was long.
Mother remained with us until
Everett, Jr., was two weeks old, then
she went back to dad, who never was
happy if she were away from him.
Everett had hired competent nurse,
and after mother left she took en-
tire charge not only of me, but of
the baby At first it seemed only
natural that this should be so, but
by the time the baby was month old
| had commenced to resent her rule
and Everett's insistence that she
should be obeyed.
"He is my baby! l ought to have
something to say" 1 complained.
The nurse was woman about forty
five years old, rather austere, and
terribly determined. Dad would have
said she was "set in her ways"
She seemed to think it was bad
for the baby to be cuddled or rocked.
And if I started to walk about with
him in my arms, she was as shocked
as if l had committed murder
When spoke to Everett about it,
he said:
''You are too young to know any
thing about raising a child. Miss
Lane has been nurse for years. I
insist that you do as she says"
II wasn't too young to have the
boy, if | am too young to have any
thing to say about him!' l retorted,
more hurt than angry. "And Miss
Lane has never had a baby; she
doesn't know how dreadfully a
mother wants to love and cuddle her
very own child"
"Miss Lane has had wide exper-
ience. She has cared for many ba-
bies, and the doctor assures me is
one of the very best nurses on his
list-a long one. l have hired her to
remain permanently-that is, until
she refuses to stay longer. | hope
you will be careful not to say or do
anything to make her leave u.s."
"You mean she is to stay right

along? l thought we would have a
nice young nurse, a girl like Hetty
for him when he was little older"
81 shall run no risks with my
son. We shall retain Miss Lane"
Our conversation ended for the
time, but my heart was filled with
resentment toward Miss Lane, and
also toward Everett. He had said:
4 shall run no risks with my son, -
just as if the baby belonged entirely
to him. He might have said "our''
son, thought, my eyes filling.
Was my precious baby to be an
other cause for unhappiness between
US, instead of the joy l had sup
posed he would be? loved my
darling boy passionately. And to have
Everett shut me out by saying "My
boy" and to have that woman who
didn't know how it felt to be mother
of baby tell me what / couldn't or
could do with him, was maddening.
81 won't stand itv' / muttered, yet
I knew down in my heart I should
have to stand it, just as had had to
endure other things in my life be-
cause Everett willed | should.
I wondered dumbly if other wives
had such emotional ups and downs as
/ had-if others had to have the sweet
periods offset by periods of unhappi-
ness caused by inharmony with their
husbands.
