Again she obeyed him; finally she
helped him to lift John Bruce to the

She sat down in a chair and waited
she did not know what lot. DE-
,CranE had drawn another chair to the
couch and sat there watching mis-
patient. John Bruce, as far as she
could tell, showed no sign OF life.
j. Then DR.. Crangs voice seemed to
float out of nothingness:
He will live, Claire, my dear! BY
God, I'd like to have done that piece
of work in a clinic! Some OF 'em
would sit up! Dye hear. Claire, he'll
live,"
She was conscious that he was
studying her; she did not look at him,
nor did she answer
An eternity seemed to pass. She
heard motor stop outside in front
of the house. That would pc mar
father and Hawkins.
SThe front door opened and closed,
footsteps entered the room-and sud
denly seemed to quicken and hurry
forward. She rose from her chair.
What's this? What's the matter?
What's happened?" a tall, white
haired man cried out.
1t was DR.. Crang who answered.
"Oh-this. Mr.. VeniZa?" He waved
his hand indiffereently toward the
couch. Nothing of any importance.

perturbability, and smiled into the
grave, serious face of Paul Veniza-
The really important thing is that

For an instant no one moved or

And then the silence was broken by a
curious half laugh. half curse that
was full of menace.

He stood aside allowing her to pass

he turned again to DR.. Crang.
''She is naturally very upset over

CHAPTER v.
Hawkins.

IN the outer room, the door closed
behind them, Paul Veniza and Haw-
kins stared into each others eyes.
Hawkins face had lost its ruddy,
weather-beaten color, and there was a
strained. perplexed anxiety in his ex-
preston.
Dye hear what she said" he num-
bled. Dye hear what he said? Co
ing to be married.. My little girl. my
innocent little girl, and-and that
dope feeding devil! IL don't under
stand, Paul. What's it mean?
Paul Veniza laid his hand on the
others shoulder, As much to seek, il
seemed. as to offer sympathy. He
shook his head.
II don't know" he said, blankly.
Hawkins watery blue eyes under
their shaggy brows Travelled miser-
ably in the direction of the staircase
II ANT got the, right" he
choked. You go UP and talk to her
Paul Veniza ran his fingers in a
troubled way through his white hair
then, nodding his head, he turned
abruptly and began to mount the
stairs.
Hawkins watched until the other
had disappeared from sight, watched
until he heard a door open and close
softly above: then he swung sharply
around, with his old, dropping shoul-
ders suddenly squared, strobe toward
the door that shut him off from DR.
Crang and the man he had recognized
as his passenger in the travelling
pawn shop earlier that night But
at the door itself he hesitated, and
after a moment drew back. and the
shoulders dropped again, and he fell
to twisting his hands together in
nervous indecision as he retreated to
the center of the room.
And he stood there again. where
Paul Veniza had left him. and stared

by eating Kellogg's Bran regularly!

What you should do for your
family and for yourself is to serve
keIlogg's Bran every day. in any
one of several attractive ways, and

cereal with hot milk, or mix it with
hot cereal before serving. Another
method is to cook kellogg's Bran

tablespoonfuls of bran for each
person. A popular way is to
sprinkle bran on hot or cold cereal.
Bran makes wonderful bakery

making you depressed and physi-

REGULARLY!-at least two table,
spoonfuls daily: in chronic cases
with every meal!

NEWY NOTES OF THE SPOKEN STAGE SILENT DRAMA AND MUSIC

Mondays matinee crowds will see the latest episode of Fighting Blood" iH which Gale Galen and his retinue appear in convulsingly comical burlesque motion picture scene in which Gale, q paleface. is burned at the stake by hostile Indians The sec and chapter, however, gets back into strenuous action and a stirring box ing match is presented. On the same bill will be a special vaudeville card of good numbers and Johnny Hines in the screen version of George NJ. Co., bans great musical comedy success, Little Johnny Jones'" Urban Cal- lahan played this part when the Tabs presented it at the Lyceum two years ago. On Christmas day there will be a continuous performance, beginning at 2:l5 D. m, As all arc familiar with this story. little explanation is neces- sary. It is the story of an American jockey who plans to ride in the Eng fish derby, thereby winning fame and the girl of his choice. The machina- tions of an arch villain to prevent his winning both the race and the girl add to the suspense, but the final scene, in which all plots fail and the young American rider speeds on. to victory is d thriller that will not be easily forgotten.
 Richard. the Lion Hearted" with Wallace Beery in the title role, will be the attraction the last half Of the week. It is a thrilling drama of the Crusaders. true to historical facts.

Tommy An derson has the leading role and is bly, assisted by Ted Steele, George Rubin. Madeline Buckley. Dorrene Glover, assisted by the great dancing chorus. The costumes are gorgeous and worth tidy sum, and the presen- tation given the different song num- bers are done with descriptive scenes.

MOMENTS MUSICAL
 A HEADLINfR
Old Ralph Dunbar 6 Co. at
 Capitol, Etc.

Starting Monday of next week the Capitol will offer a special holiday bill in the presentation of several big attractions now being heavily fea- tured on the Keith circuit. The big
 headliner on this show will present Ralph Dunbar's Broadway Choir in Moments Musical" In the offering are ten talented vocalists. each one also being fine soloist. The singing and music which these ten people of- fer will be a revelation to local thea tergoers as it is very much doubted if such a fine offering has ever been seen in this city before at any time. Mir Dunbar has record on Broadway as one of the greatest vaudeville producers of the day and his acts are always in demand every where. In presenting his Broadway Choir, the Capitol management has gone to quite big expense to bring theme here but it is certain that they will be heartily appreciated by all that hear them. Another startling act will be the offering, Weldanos Senation, an aerial act the like of which has never been seen here be- fore because of the daring involved to perform this act. It is quite a nov city and will make Capitol patrons gasp with astonishment. Frank Peggy" Jones carrie. the nick name of Peggy" because he has but one leg. the other being a peg leg. but this affliction does not hamper this young man from doing n fine act and he displays some remarks ble dancing with but his one leg. The comedy end of the show will be offered by Ryan and Moore in their very funny sllit Fall Has Come" This pair are comedians from the old school and surely entertain for the Is minutes they hold tue stage and usually have all audiences clamoring for more. Corsica and Verdi are also excellent comedians and offer 'Stringing Con- edy' in which several musical num- bcrs are also offered. Tho photoplay on this show will present Thomas II, Ince's drama Her Reputation" with May McAyoy in the leading role. The last half of the week will present as the feature "The Famous London Steppors," one of Nandevile's biggest hits. Reserved seats for the New Years midnight frolic al the Capitol are now selling at the box of- fee.

New Britain herald., 1923-12-22

The year Of 1923 has been the most sifiniticant in motion picture history. It is doubtful if the next several years can show the genesis of so many inn portant movements for the betterment of the art and industry. An outstand- ing feature is the recognition of cry ing need for direct screen literature, Adaptations, if made from material suited for screen presentation, have their place. But the scarcity of good original stories, and other less logical causes or reasons have resulted, dur ing the recent past, in the use of bor- rowed material not at all suitable foS shadowstage production. h s brought about such notable steps to- ward finding a solution for the prob lem, as the assembling of the Inter national Congress on Motion Picture Art in June.
