THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER

up pretty soon"
"Mr. Pearson telephoned at eleven
o'clock and said that YOU were not
to attempt to so to the Office to-
day." Mrs. Higgins informed her
charge. 80 l am to make you take
care of yourself. You may as we'll
have another nap"
How was Milly this morning
1 mean-did she seem happy at
breakfast?" Honora questioned.
"Well-not Very" Mrs. Higgins
admitted. But don't you worry
about that. You know Milly's moods
are only passing ones. If something
nice happens downtown to-day she
will come home as happy as a lark
Silence followed this statement
q silence which Mrs. Higgins broke
at last.
Il am sorry about Mildred and
Arthur. He is such a nice youns
man. And he was in love with Mil
dred. Don't YOU think so "
Honora turned her head wearily
on the pillow and closed her eyes
"He seemed to be- she said
briefly.
We'll. I was wondering II he cares
1OT HCT Sllll--l mean except us Il
friend. I wonder if he loves her
now? If so, he must be very un-
happy"
She Thinks of Arthur
The speaker looked inquiringly at
the face on the pillow. But the eyes
were closed and the kindly matron
decided to withdraw and let the girl
rest for a while longer. So, taking
the tray, she tiptoed from the room
But when she had gone Honora
| opened her eyes and lay thinking
of Mrs. Higgins's surmises. Did Ar
! thur still love Mildred? If so, he
must be very unhappy.
! She recalled his bitter laugh in the
restaurant yesterday when Mildred
and Chandler passed him. 1t was not
n pleasant laugh; in It there was not
la sound that would indicate sorrow
or longing. Moreover, if Arthur haC
( loved Mildred. would he not have
thrashed Chandler when he saw hin

Then reason reminded her tha'

CHAPTER LNNIII.

Honora usually prided herself up
on her excellent physique, but when
she awoke on the morning after her
trip to Hartford, she was aware that
in the last twentyfour hours she
had taxed her powers of endurance
to the utmost.
1t had been almost dawn when she
fell asleep. At o'clock she lifted
her head from the pillow, and
sense of siddiness and weakness
compelled her to lie down again.
When Mildred learned what the
trouble was, she advised her sister
to stay away from the office.
Il will telephone to Mr.. Pearson
and explain that you are not well,
she said. Il am sorry you overdid
yourself yesterday but it's only an
other of the many things to make
me uncomfortable. Life isn't worth
living, anyway"
Honora felt too i'll to argue. More
over she knew that Mildred's morbid
moods were of short duration. Had
she been a different type of girl, she
would have been prostrated by The
events of yesterday. AS it was, her
quiet slumber through the night had
been abundant evidence that her
heart was not broken nor her nerves
seriously strained.
Secretly, Honora was rather glad
to escape the ordeal of breakfast
with her sister and Mrs. Higgins
this morning. The situation would
be an awkward one, and her pres
ence would not lessen the discom-
fort of 1t.
She thanked Mildred for offering
to telephone to Mr. Pearson.
Tell him it is only a sick head
ache and that 7 will be down this
afternoon, if I am able, and explain
how sorry l am" she murmured. for
the dizziness made her feel faint.
Honora Protests
II will tell him you are not fit to
| be out" Mildred declared. You
work hard enough for him to give
you an occasional holiday"
oh" Honora protested feebly,
| "he is more than kind to me and is
| always willing to let me have time
off,"
Then let him prove it to-day"
was the succinct suggestion.
Mrs. Higgins persuaded Honora
to take n cup of tea and a slice of
toast, then darkened the room and
left her alone. The tired girl slept
soundly until noon, when the house
keeper reappeared with a tray OF
| luncheon.
This food actually tastes good"

 An Actor

Tom Mix, the William Fox star, is finishing at Flagstaff, Ariz.. what is said to be one of the most thrilling as well as one of the most beautiful pie lures he has made. The whole drama, '@The Wilderness Trail,'' takes place in the snow.
 The Mix company, under the direc- ton of Edward J. LeSaint, has spent an entire month in and around Flag staff to make this picture They brought with them from Hollywood. Cal, an entire picture equipment. There were 60 in the party. and six Eskimo dogs also were taken along. One of these dogs. called "Rainey," Peary used as a lead dog in his dash to the North Pole. A dozen -sleighs of Arctic pattern were made at the WfI- liam Fox studios in Hollywood and shipped to Arizona
 The work of the Mix company was a. great treat to the inhabitants of F1agsaff. Among the many thrilling sights they witnessed was a speedy chase on skates, at the end of which Mix and the man he was pursuing fell into the lake. When Mix and his opponent went In and continued their fight under the ice, the Flagstaff na- tives wanted to help get them out, not knowing that they had to stay there, so the picture could be taken

BEDROOM FARCES.

American theatregoes have taken to the bedroom farces much like the mtser takes to his gold. No less than five such comedies are enjoying pros- porous engagements at New York houses and now Bridgeport is intro 'duced to She Walked In Her Sleep. % a George Broadhurst comedy that opened q twO-days' engagement at the Park theatre last night And Bridgeports first night audience re- ceived the farce as enthusiastically and with as much hiIarity as New Workers have received Twin Beds, ' 'Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,'' Up In Mabefs Rooms" etc
 The American type of so-calIed bedroom parlOTs is entertaining and free from vulgarity or suggestiveness. The display of luxurious bedroom wearing apparel has an attractiveness that the American thea tregoing pub lie enjoys immensely. What funnier farce has there been staged on this side of the water than Al H. Woods 'Parlor, Bedroom and Bath?' And it ell come about through the phe- nomenal success of Twin Beds. % which is still entertaining thousands in all parts of the country.

Behind THE F0otIights
PLAZA

(Review.)
 The show a the Plaza theatre yes terday went off with a bang. Every feature of it was so worth while. The picture Luck and Pluck" featuring that dynamic star, George Walsh, was just one round of applause and laughs. Every foot of the film is crammed full of action and there Is not even one dull moment It is the story of Velvet" who is a gentle man crook, who steals a pretty girl S heart and to be sure, it is some steal.
 The vaudeville program is topped by The Country Girl" a rural music al comedy offering with a girl chorus. The girl principal is a sweet and tal- ented girl who puts her songs and dances over with grace and style. The comedy part Is well handled by rube constable, who keeps the au- dtenCe laughing throughout the act, The chorus girls sing and dance very well. The straight man in the piece could be improved on, but what he lacks is more than made up by the exceptional work of the rest of the company for the material is all goou. Reed and Armstrong took next hon. oIS with theiF Daby grand and up- right pianos. playing a wide variety of music. Both boys are neat ap- bearing and are winners when it comes to handling a piano They also sing some good songs and were called for several encores Robert and Roden. a man and woman in a song and whistling offering, went very well. He Is splendid with his whistlins, while the young lady rem ders some songs to good applause. Wire and Walker present a differ ent' wire walking act and their stunts were hugely appreciated Gau- mont News contains & goodly number of pictorial current topics and the Screen Magazine was interesting.

WILLIAM FOX GOES TO EUROPE TO EXTEND
 PICTURE ACTIVITIES

|. An indicat ton of the plans of Amer tcan film producers to extend their business abroad is seen in the depar- ture for Europe last week of William Fox, president of the Fox Film Cor poration; General Manager W. R. Sheehan and Abram Carlos, Fox gen eral representative, who will make an extensive inspection of the European field with a view to the establish ment of a producing plant in France and a big extension of the Fox distri- button system all over the continent.
 If local conditions are right, Fox studios will be erected in southern France and a, big film laboratory built just outside of Paris, it is stat ed. It is possible William Fox stars will be acting on French soil in the very near future. thus making MT. Fox the first American producer to make films in Europe.
 Elaborate plans for extension of the Fox distribution service are expected further to cement the hold of Fox films on the European market.
 Mr- Fox, it is said, believes that the present Is q most opportune time to establish approximation plant in Eu- rope; that the recent international cOmpanionship in arms and in sacri- flee means such an added cementing of an ancient friendship that not only will there be a vastly increased French and British demand for Amer ican pictures, but that Americans will gladly welcome Fox films made in for eiSn settings. Thus a mutually bene- ficial exchange between the nations will be founded and fostered
 The plans of MT. Fox call for the most radical departure in the history of the American film industry, and when cOnsummated will make the Fox Film Corporation worldwide organiza ton not only in distribution, but in the production of pictures.

LYRIC

1eview.---Hcre is q play with a plot built around the great war that possesses all the necessary elements to make 1t a great attraction for this week at the Lyric. When He Came Back" is full of patIos, humor. sad ness, dramatic cllmaXeS charms and heart interest and presents the pa thetic story of q young American bride whose husband is reported killed fin action while fighting lover there" only to find him at midnight of Nov. 10. 1918, in her apartment very much alive. Her husband Confesses that he has turned deserter and the American spirit grips the young bride who accuses him of being a. coward.
 But the author of the play has very thouEhtfuly provided for e happy ending and ct the end of the third act. it Is disclosed that the young soldier has been made q major and recommended for bravery, but having been gassad and shell shocked, his mind became a. blank and he 7tad only imagined himself q 1eserter.
 As the soldier and lover, Jack Over ton, Clay Clement added some more laurels to his record. Clay seems to heartily enjoy the predicaments into which he brings both his and his swcetheart's families and looks every bit Of the vacant-minded. broke n-spir- ited man in the second act Miss Clements must be praised for her realistic work when she finds her dead husband alive Her part calls for intense dramatic action and she did it well.
 Jack McGrath has an interesting part as the brother of the woman who uzrries Jack" He is a lieutenant and marries Jacks sister. portrayed by the charming Ida Nave. Both make a. splendid pair to furnish the comedy of the story.
 It is hard to decide whether Walter Marshall is a villain or an aTdens lover this week Although he seems a rather interested friend, he is ar rested at the close of the performance for being A traitor to his country. Miss May B. Hurst in the part of Jacks mother and Willard Dashiell, the father of the heroine, are both able assistants.
 Last nights performance brought a company Of the State Guard, Mayor Clifford B, Wilson and over 100 sol dlers who saw service over there, to witness the premier presentation Of the first after-the-war play which scored a decided success with the Poli Players.
