ONE TIME FILM
FAVORITE AT
KEITH'S

Clara Kimball Young. luminary
OF the screen in the past but not
recently. is the headline attrac-
ton at Keith's this week. Miss
Young is appearing in a rather
clever sketch called His Ador-
able Wife," and. as a speaking
actress. she is adequate but mot
an unqualified success. To those
who go to see real screen star
in the flesh. however, it can be
said that Miss Young's beauty
will not disappoint them.
Nitza VerniIle and her company
were a decided hit. and justly so,
in a beautifully staged dancing
act, Wonderland. Miss Vernilie
dances with a passion and aban.
don that carries with it the ease
of the perfect mastery of an art.
She is assisted by the Billark
Sisters and John Walsh. whose
mangnificent voice was not INT
least attraction.
Adele Verne. pianist, proved
the high point OF the evening for
this reviewer. Miss Verne opened
her turn with Chopin's I'm.
promptu" and closed with Lftszt's
Rhapsody No. 2.
CoraIn and Jerry. the first
named being q person and the
latter a most engaging dumnly,
pleased with a ventriloquial act.
D0wney and Owens singing a
group of popular songs were
heartily greeted. Rekoma and
Loretta give a graceful turn of
difficult athletic feats. The high
point for humor was reached by
Brown and Whitaker, whose line
of chatter includes a sparkling
number OF new gags.

concluding act. give spectacular

A FAIR YARN FOR
GLORIA AND
NO MORE

The Swanson is here once more.
At the Columbia Theater. In a
picture entitled Stage Struck"
Which il the story OF q waitress
In q small town restaurant who
appears on the stage Of q show
boat in order to capture the affec-
tons OF her actress-mad lover.
The play gives Gloria chance
to wear some beautiful gowns.
Which she does el1armingiy. It
also gives her the chance to sail
through g. lot OF actions, some OF
which verge on the slapstick va
riety In which she is quite FAR
from charming. Some Of the gags
are good. Some Of the actions
draw a good laugh. But most Of
them fail to excite mirth from the
patrons. The opening OF the pic
ture. the waitress dream, is quite
nice. The costumes are striking.
The sets are well done. And the
whole thing is filled with trick
photography and color photog-
raphy that is unusually good. But
the picture as whole Is terribly
disappointing.
Ford Sterling does q laudable
piece Of work AZ the manager Of
the sllow-boRt and Lawrence Gray
was sufficient unto his part az
the cake flipper. Gloria worked
hard, but what she had to work
with has been dead q long time,
and even she could not revive 1t.
And that's about that.
A Tuxedo comedy, dealing with
the fossilized theme of the man
Of the house taking the wife's
place to show how easy It is to
keep house, failed lniserably to
help the bin.

ity. "Darkened Up to Be Bright.
Above the several other attributes
OF Jordan, he has hit upon the
idea of being different, just a
bit, in his blackface act. 1t is

Tommy Van and Sara Vernon,

If you are considering a new street hat, select a model character ized by simplicity in both line and trimming. The smartest models are notable for their lack of elaborate ornament, as we'll as for their ad- herence to the close fitting cloche- type of contour.
 Felt and velours are the two lead ing materials for the tailored type of street hat. The trimmings are mostly grosgrain or leather bands trimmed ,th bit of decorative ornament in key with the tailored character of the shape.
 sketched today are two remark ably smart felt models that illus trate the new tendencies in line and trimming. The hat in the upper sketch Is gray trimmed with a gray suede band edged with a row of crochet steel beads and ornamented with steel rosettes.
 Below Is a high crowned shapr of rose felt featuring a gold leather band embroidered in wool flowers. On one side of the crown is a deep. inverted pleat.
 The high crown of the hat in the lower sketch is finished with a decp inverted pleat. Both shapes are trimmed with leather bands.

Did you ever stop to think how true this is? A seed is tucked away in the brown earth. From it springs 2 tiny plant, and there is nothing but the earth, the air, the rain and the sunshine to build from it B great towering tree. You see, growth Is really only one form of building. It Is wonderful beyond anything that man has ever done or ever can do. That is why it seems such a dreadful thing to cut a great tree, unless it Is very necessary.
 Sammy Jay had something of this feeling as he watched Farmer Browns Boy cutting young spruce tree and young hemlocl trees there in the Green Forest. It didn't seem at all right to Sammy. He couldn't understand 1t at all. and he felt, oh. so sorry for those young trees. He wondered why Farmer Browns Boy was cutting them. For once in his life he wished he could understand his language.
 At first Sammy was tempted to scream Thief Thief! Thief" and let all other little people in the Green Forest know what was going on. But he knew that screaming ''Thief! Thief" would do no good. He knew that all the screaming in the world wouldn't cause Farmer Browns Boy to stop. So he held his tongue and watched.
 After Farmer Browns Boy had cut half a dozen of these young trees, Sammy discovered something. He cooked his head on one side and studied and studied and studied. He flew over to another tree where he
New Britain herald., 1926-12-21


 could get different view, and again he studied.
 I'm so sorry for these young trees,' said Sammy to himself, that have been cut. certainly am. But l believe it is going to be a good thing for those other trees that haven't been cut. Yes. sir, believe 1t is going to be good thing for those other trees that haven't been cut. They will have more room to spread out and grow. They will grow faster and bigger and be stronger. Now I wonder if Farmer Browns Boy is doing it on that &C., count. I wonder if that is why he spent so much time over here look ing around before he began cutting those trees. And I wonder what he is going to do with those trees he has cut. I suppose the only way I'll ever find out is by being patient and watching"
 Meanwhile Farmer Browns Boy was whistling as he worked. He was very careful as he cut each young tree to see that it fell where it would not injure any other young tree. After while he began talk to himself, as he had no one else to talk to. It certainly does hurt to cut a tree. These are beautiful young trees and I don't like to cut them. But if should let them grow they would no longer be beautiful trees. They would crowd each oth- CT so that all their beauty would be lost. A lot of them would die after a while. They would be starved for sunlight and air. But by cutting these out now. before they have be- gun to be too much crowded, I shall be giving the others a chance. The Green Forest will really be more beautiful for losing these young trees Yes. sir. there is no doubt about 1t. If I came in here and took all the young trees growing up here. that would be another matter. But I have picked out only those trees which will make the Green Forest better for losing, I am actually helping the trees that are left. and at the same time these young trees are go- ing to give great joy"
 Farmer Browns Boy looked up just then and saw Sammy Jay watching him. Farmer Browns Boy grinned Hello, Sammy" said he. T suppose you are wondering what all this is about. l suspect you are thinking all sorts of bad things about me because l am cut ting these trees. But if you knew what I know, you would know that I am adding to the happiness of the Great World"

 She would bear watching, Jim was thinking. If she was up to some game whereby she hoped to get away with the diamond-well, he'd stop that, all right. She wouldn't get away with 1t. And yet, he thought, might she not be perfectly honest? Might it not be that this woman was to provide them with the clew that the Elwells had been waiting for for eighteen years and more?
 A question was on his lips. John K. Danvers-where was he now? But he did not voice it. To his ama2ement, Nina Kingsley, who had been holding the ring all this time and who now seemed to have recov- cred her usual calm, turned slightly in her chair and then held the ring up close to her eyes and toward the electric light. Suddenly little "oh" of surprise escaped her and she turned back to her watchful audi ence.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine
 Wherever there are men who are none too careful about the hygienic character of their surroundings can be found the little insect Cimex lec- tularius, more familiarly known as the bedbug.
 It has no wings, but it's body is quite flat and it conceals itself easi- ly in the narrowest chinks and cracks of the bed and the walls.
 The bite ot the bedbug is ac- complished b' tour thread-like fila ments which s.lde over each other with an alternating motion and pierce the skin. Then it sucks blood through Its beak. Some people are much more irritated by the bites than are others. These people will have swelling and inflammation aft CT the attack
 When the householder decides to eliminate this insect he should real ize that bedbug powders can not get at the eggs and the bugs concealed in narrow chinks.
 Scalding water or soapsuds will kill them but may also ruin the furniture.
 Perhaps best o~ all Is the use Of a liberal amount of gasoline, ben zine, kerosene c any other petro- leum S in connection with which, however, there Is always the possi- bility of fire.
 Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas is effectual, but can be used only with great caution.
 The bedbug has a pe,uliar odor. produced by certain glands. Other wise he seems to do no particular harm since he never has been defi- nitely connected with the transmits sion of disease, though often sus- pected.
 The presence of this insect around a b. droom offends the sense of cleanliness and if many of his fami- ly are along they can produce in sOmnia,

The Fourth Floor Lodger Looms IF

There was something provokingly dron in Lillian's tones as she voiced the supposition that Mrs. Baker. our queer old lodger upon the fourth floor, was acting as hostess in some cabaret, Katherine and 1 laughed heartily at the conceit, but Lillian only smiled a bit mechanically. and then dismissed Mrs. Baker with the crisp comment: Whatever she's up to, it's mercy she's not bothering Mary any more" But I had an in- tuitive little feeling that she had not finished in her own mind with the subject of the fourth-floor lodger, and that she had her ticketed and tucked away for future reference.
 Her next words were accompanied with vicious thumps upon the cushion nearest her.
 I'm going to give Phil Veritzen a slice of my mind if it's the last thing I ever do. He's simply killing that girl. How about you, Madge? Is he piling you up with work in the same fashion,"
 Mary Under Strain
 He has fair appetite for work delivered" I told her. However, my shoulders are broader and older than Marys. But may I remind you that it is my pet cushion you are humping. not Veritzen's head ?"

The soup suggested in the lunch con menu is extremely hearty. Homemade noodles must be used, so the rule for noodles as well as the filling is given. This is an excellent way to use the meat from the soup bone.
 Noodle Balls
 One egg, ] tablespoon milk, 1-2 teaspoon sak. cup flour (about). Beat egg slightly with milk. Mix and sift flour and salt and stir into bowl or moulding board. Knead on lightly floured molding board and roll very thin. Gut in oblong shaped pieces about two inches wide and four inches long. Fill with meat mixture and fold noodle paste to completely cover meat Dampen edges with little cold water and press firmly. Drop into boiling beef broth and boil fif@een minutes. Serve in broth or on platter garnished with parsley as preferred. Luncheon dishes are saved if the balls are served in the soup. and this is really the best way.
 Meat Filling
 One and 1-2 cups finely chopped meat. Is teaspoon onion juice. l tablespoon minced parsley, 1 egg. milk.
 The amount of salt needed must b determined by the amount used in cooking the meat. The mixture should be we'll seasoned Onion juice is used in place of minced onion be- cause the juice flavors quickly. Com bine meat, seasoning and unbeaten egg. Mix thoroughly and add a few tablespoons of milk. enough to make moist enough to hold together.
 Any kind of meat or combination of meats can be used. If left over, roast meats need to be used up and no soup stock is at hand boiling salted water can take the place of the stock. In this event, the balls must be served on a platter garnish- ed with parsley.
