town. When Franklin had inherited
the farm and the mortgage he found
that his father had been paying Z per
cent interest and mentioned the fact
to his friend Martin Fairbanks.
Outrageous" said Martin. "Pay
the old thief off, III lend you the
money to do it and take a mortgage
from you for the amount at per
cent" And so it was done.
The mortgage fell due on December
and Franklin, now being in a po-
sition to do so, wanted to take it up.
So he wrote to Martin, who was lead
ing the simple life along the Great
White Way, asking him to empower
some one in AIiddletown as his attor
ney to discharge the obligation. To
Franklin's surprise, for Martin seldom
visited MiddletOWn in winter, he re-
ceived a reply saying that important
business called Martin to that place ON
December s, and if Franklin would
drive down from the farm on that
date they could do business. But he
(Martin) would not arrive until s
o'clock in the evening and would have
but a few minutes to spare. This
sounded rather curious, but Franklin,
anxious to get the mortgage out of the
way, started for MiddetOwn on the
evening specified, regardless of the
bowling storm and the frailty Of his
flivver. He had advanced as far as
the outskirts of the town. Then just
where the road descends the hill, the
might-haye-been-eXpected happened. A
branch, torn from a tree by the gale,
struck his windshield smashing it and
cutting him about the head and face
He lost control of the wheel for a
second, the car SHE'D to a roadside
ditch and turned over with an eXplod-
ing tire and a broken axle.
Franklin crawled from under the
wreck, bleeding prOfusely but not
otherwise much injured-some CON
tusions and sprains and a slight in
teTnal shake-up. As Franklin cleared
the momentary daze from his mind he
saw that he had been wrecked in front
of a trim white house, the light
streaming windows of which gave
promise of help, arnica and sticking
plaster He knew the place well it
was the home of prosperous Silas
Merriweather MiddletOwn's hardware
merchant, who possessed among other
good things, a daughter, Mile, a
charming creature about Franklins
own age and, as her father said, as
smart "as a kes Of tenpenny nails"
Franklin knocked at the door, which
was presently opened by Mile, and he
staggered into the hall. Mile did not
faint at the CORY spectacle-she was
not Of the fainting kind; but she

TOWN THAT FORGOT

Harry Carey and Dr. Coue in
 Films Last Three Days of Week

Monday inaugurates another week of remarkable pictures at FoX's thea ter, backed up by the usual meritori- ous vaudeville bills For the first three days of the week there will be The Town That Forgot God" ranked 91 per cent, the perfect picture, by the motion picture reviewers. The last half of the week brings that dashing adventurer of the west. Harry Carey. in Crashing Thru" But that is not all, for by special arrangement with the producers, The Message of Emile Coue" will be shown. In this, the only picture that was taken of the famous Frenchman, NJ. Coue appears personally. The usual high class Sun- day dramas will be shown, Alice Calhoun in Little Wildcat" and the Mary Roberts Rinehart story, "Af- finities," presented by Colleen Moore and John Bowers.
 In presenting "The Town That For got God" the Fox theater is giving New Britain one of the most powerful photo dramas yet shown. Viewed from every angle, critics declare it is prac- tically without d fault. The picture tells the story of the life of one David Adams, portrayed by Bunny Grauer. The theme of the play, which is sup posed to be true, is faith and it's re- ward" The play finds fitting reward in one of the most spectacular flood scenes, yet filmed. Just how David re- tains that valuable jewel, Faith, throughout a chain of circumstances that would break the heart of a strong man is told in scene after scene that raises the lump in the throat of the most callous individual. It is well worth trip to Fox's theater to see this picture.

 From all appearances, however, 1t does not seem that this city will be favored with any of the above kind of shows and as has been the case in the past vaudeville and motion pictures will no doubt fill the bill of fare.

 It has been learned, however. that there are a group of citizens in the city who are planning 10 organize what might be known as the Com munity Players" association, similar to the one now in existence in B.is- tol and operated on the plan of ihe Little theater which has proven popular in many cities in the United States about the size of New Britain.

 Leon Sprague, president of the New Britain Rotary club, expressed the opinion, when interviewed by a Her aid reporter, that an organization such as the Community Players would be worth while and would, perhaps. be able 10 give to New Brit ain people the kind of. a show they have waited many years to see.
 Those who are interesting them selves in this project do not expect to complete their plans for the formation Of such an organization until early next fall. It is possible that a number of people in New Britain interested In dramatics and who have had some sort of experience in this line of work, will be called together within the next few months to discuss this work.
