CHOOSE YOUR VAMP-
BLOND OR BRUNETTE

Inez, from Hollywood, coming to
the Rylander Monday and Tuesday.
How do you like your vampires
blond or brunette? for some unex-
planned reason, brunette actresses
have always been associated with
the vampire roles on both stage and
screen. Possibly the brunette tyne
appears more vampish than the
blond
Oh, it is merely that the first
1amp role was played by brunette,
and the precedent thus established.
At any rate, First National is of
fering an innovation in vampires in
its new picture, "Inez From Holly
wood" Anna Q. Nilsson plays the
role of vivid screen vampire, and
she is decidedly blond. 1t is said to
be the greatest picture of it's kind
the screen has ever given you.

Twenty minutes had gone 6y

be back in five minutes.
Il guess I'll go up and see"
She stepped into the elevator, and
got out at the third floor.
The door of Room 312 stood open
and the key hung from the lock.
Within, every light was blazing.
May went in, and stood in the cent
er of the room, looking about her.
Drawers stoo d open, a torn collar
lay upon the floor, the end of a
necktie hung over the edge of the
Wastebasket.
But even then, what had happen

MENJOU STILL AT
IN KISS IN THE DARK"

Adolph Menjou is still tlifling
with the women and has them cry
ing for more in his latest picture,
GA Kiss in the Dark" in which ne
is featured with Lillian Rich and
Aileen Pringle.
"A Kiss in the Dark" picturiz-
alton of the stage play by that name
by Frederick Lonsdale, Isl a smart
marriage comedy with Menjou in
the role Of gay philanderer, who
knows more about women than they
know about themselves. He is cast
in the role of Walter Grenham, en-
gagged to marry Janet Livingstone
(Aileen Pringle), who has accepted
him conditionally-that he forget
all about other women and settle
down.
Menjou does quiet down a bit
for a day or so, anyway-and then
Betty King comes in and ruins ey-
erything. Betty is in love with her
husband, out sees no reason why
she cannot engage in little inno-
cent filtration with the personable
Grenham. Of course, King and
Janet fly off the handle, and for
time it looks like the end of a
happy domestic life for the Kings
and case of nothing doing" for
Grenham so far as Janet is concern
ed.
But leave it to Menjou to wrig-
gle out of the precarious position
Betty places him in through her
thoughtless attentions. Without

ing the first time she had seen him
sta"2'ag there. How handsome he
haG seemed to her then-how utter
ly desirable as prospective hus-
band!
"And he's nothing but crookn'
she thought. "My stars! What
queer men a woman does meet when
she's knocking around the world,
alonew
She thought over the men she had
met the last year: Waterbury, Dan
Sprague,. vicious young Jack Darn
ley, Ulysses Forgan-
But Ulysses was in class by him
self.
"Why he's so honest and so gen
erous that he didn't even pay him
self commission when he sold my
house for mep May thought. when
| get that money back. | must send
him a check. | can't let him do
things for me without being paid
She realized then that ten min
utes had passed, and Herbert had
not returned. She waited Five
more minutes crawled by.
At last May got up and walked
over to the room clerk.
"Will you please call Mr.. Water
bury in 312 for me?" she asked
The dapper, young clerk, who
looked like an ad for mems clothing
showed the telephone across the desk
toward her.
May called Room 312.
There was no answer.
Bewildered, May hung up the re.
ceiver, and walked over to the Gle
vators, AS she stood there, one Of
them descended, and several pcoplJ
stepped out. But Herbert was moi
among them.
Where can he bc?" she asked

the lamps" She pointed thick
forfinger at the electric lights that
shone markedly on either side of the
dresser.
'You wouldn't believe there was
folks like i'm in the world, ma'am, +"
, she said, "unless you'd worked
around 'otels as l have. In Bristol,
England, where | come from twas
the same. of water pitchers they'd
take, and bath towels-anything
they could lay their hands on"
She shook out a sheet, and began
to make up the'.bed, as she talked
And May stood there, listening, be-
j ca,.se she was incapable of sane
thought or action, for the time be-
ing-so dumbfounded was she Dy
Herbert's flight.
Il don't know how it's" the maid
went on, "But folks who wouldn't
steal pins point from anybody,
will take everything they can from
ahotel, and think it's all right I've
known 'em to steal the very torka
and salt cellars from restaurant
tables, or from their mornin' break
fast trays, Ma'am! And yet I've no
doubt they calls themselves honest
folk"
May shook her head.
ga person who'd steal a towel
from a hotel would commit another
other sort of crime, I think" she
said slowly. "In fact, I know it"
Her eyes were on the maids red
| checked face, but she was speaking
to herself. At last she knew the
truth about Waterbury; that he was
not a gentleman and millionaire,
but the commonest sort Of crook
thief who would steal thousands
of dollars from a widow with the
same casual air that he would strip
hotel bedroom of its silk lamp
shades, its towels, and bathmats-
Even in his flight he had stopped
to do that!
Without being aware Of how she
had come there, she found herself
presently outside the hotel She
was hurrying down the Boardwalk
as if she were late to keep an np-
pointment with someone-and yet
there was not one soul in the gay
resort whom she knew. They were
all gone--her queer friends-Wa-
terbury, Dan, Carlotta, even Fran
Gle Lee.
She stood beside the railing, look
ing out at the sea, trying to think
What was she going to do, now?
She had almost no money-not
more than three or four dollars that
were in the bead purse dangling
from her arm.
She didn't even know Water
bury's name, or where to find him.
And what use was there in trying
to find him, anyway? She had sign
ed her money over to him - No
court would convict him of robbing
her. That was certain.
No, she had been a fool She had
Brought this thing upon herself
And here she was stripped of every
penny she had-with nothing but
the clothes she wore, and a few
more on the hangers in her closet in
the hotel And think! Think of the
bill she owed at the hotel!
May drew in her breath, gripped
the railing with both her bare hands
until her fingers were sore and
bruised But she felt no bodily
pain.
She began to cry-not with tears
but with the dreadful whimper Of
an animal that has been caught in a
hidden trap. She stood there in the
darkness, rocking back and forth in
her agony.
"Tm done for! I'm done for~ she
sobbed.

WHY FARMING DECLINED

A review Of the present status OF
agriculture in New England has
shown that the more important CON,
tributing causes of the condition
which exists are: Waste of farm re-
sources; failure to understand and
practice the fundamental principles
OF business; lack of an adequate pro-
gram of farm management and sou
management, with the attendant de-
pletion of soil fertility; choice OF I'M
suitable and oftentimes unmarketable
varieties; the use Of poor seed; the
keeping and breeding of inferior AMI
mails; the use of purchased feeds in
stead OF home grown grain; quantity
instead Of quality production; and
failure to grade produce properly and
according to law The decline OF
New England agriculture presents a
serious problem which deserves the
most careful study.-Bdnker-FC.ws er.

Jim Duff was a Teller we all
admired-was a regular glutton
fer speed; the pace weren't in
vented that made Jim tired
on that we was all agreed. He
never foresaw no accident-nor
reckoned one might occur, but
he suddenly learnt what his fin
ish meant when he travelled one
step too fur.
A man goes fast these mir
acklous days, without spreadin'
dire alarm,-but the one wrong
step at the partin' of ways,
Is the item that brings the
harm. We all ugger on at a live
ly clip, In a race where the
swiftest wins, but a step too fur
at the end Of the trip Is when
the disaster begins.
We hardly can say it's the
pace that kills, sence humani-
tvs learnt to fly. It amt the
miles-nor the size of the hills
that frown as we're whizzin' by.
But, the warnin' truth that con-
fronts our gaze, is sparklin'
without blur@"The error that
hastens the end Of days is
goin' step too furl" .
