Waupun, Wis, Nov. 27-The work
and the play of hurrying, scurry-
ing world goes on apace outside the
state penitentiary here. But "Old
Bill" Maxwell knows nothing of it.
More than "a years ago the
better part Of an ordinary lifetime
"Old Bill", now IS, entered the
Waupun prison to begin serving a
life term for murder. He hasn't been
out since.
His idea of the world today is a
phantasy piec d together synthetical-
ly from fragmontary newspaper
reading.
A Thrill for Him
Two years ago a momentous event
occurred in his life. Through the
bars of his cell he saw an airplane,
purposely flown over the prison to
give other lifers like himself a
chance to see how man has con-
quered the air.
He still is talking about that. ut
went more than 100 miles an hour
so they told me-" he muses.. Il just
can't believe it,
This dean of convicts is No. 1927
on the pententiary records.
In his stay of more than half
century, the concrete and steel of
the place have got into his blood
and heart.
He revels in the memory of mani
mate things. He has no record of
associations, tendernesses, or love
such as fill a normal life.
Oak Floor His Passion
Just now "Old Bill's" deepest
passion is for the solid oak floor
that he laid with great devotion in
the outer tower Of the prison 80
years ago.
All his heart went into that job,
and he thrills with queer sort of
pride and JOY when speaking of it.
No relative ever has come to see
him since he came here. He never
let his family in England know any
thing of his plight.
The judge. the jurors and the
prosecutor who sentenced him long
since have died. Even the records
of his crime are vague. But odd
Bill" still is here.
"Old Bill' came of good family,
so he intimates. Trained as ship
wright in his majesty's docks in
Liverpool the gaunt old fellow says.
"Ah, l was a bright lad, if ] do
say so myself. Went clear to page
rs in the triple quadratic equations
in the school of the church of Eng
land
Where are my parents? God
bless them, sir, ! suppose they're
long since dead. I've never tried
to find out. Didn't want to disgrace
them, you see.
His Motto
ITS a good motto this: Never
bring trouble to home. And | never
have. But it will soon be over. I'm
going out beyond these walls and
fool them all.
How? Oh, III be marching free
into the oblivion of the grave. Me

Dcbs and Black Velvet

Every Eton-cropped debutante
and sub-deb is insisting upon hav-
ing at least one black velvet frock
for evening wear in her wardrobe.
The new black velvet dinner dress
relies for effect upon cut and line
and rarely shows any trimming. In
this respect the W-shapc neck Is
a great help, Grating unusual effect
about the corsago and removing the
suggestion Of hardness.

FASHIONS and THE
UNUSUAL MOTIFS
"W" Neck Is the Latest Thing
in England

English dressmagers in search of
catch-names for their new creations,
have seized upon the poems of AL
for names. "Odile Reeve au bord de
Lille" is an exquisite tea gown,
while "Apres les Derniers Gestes,"
is not unnaturaly rather funcreal
looking gown.

Loss of Daughter Causes
DADS Loss of Sanity

Mothers are same the world over.
Peasant women of Europe who Ia
Dor in the fields take as much pride
in their daughters as do the wealthy
society women who have never done
"a days work in their entire lives.
A check of police and other court
trials where delinquent daughters
are concerned almost always shows
the mother struggling to protect her
child from disgrace and TO save her
from prison. As a usual thing the
father viii exert every influence in
behalf of a hayward daughter, but
there are many cases where the
father has thrown up his hands in
despair and let the law take its
course without interruption.
But we have instances where the
fathers love is even stronger than
the mothers. Such is the case in
s'The Tower of Lies" Victor Sea-
strom's latest Metro-Goldwyn-Maye
production which comes to the Mon
roe Theatre tomorrow. In this story
the father looks upon the birth of a
daughter as one more mouth to feed
and while the child is being born
spends his time with his cattle. What
happened after the birth of his
daughter is what makes ''The Tower
of Lies" a most unusual story from
the standpoint of a father. At no
time in the story does the mother
fail in her duty, but the father even
gbes to the extent of losing his rea-
son when he loses his daughter.
Lon CLANCY and Norma Shearer
are the father and daughter of ''The
Tower of Lies" and are co-starred.

MONROE
TODAY


What is the trouble with wives?
Someone says:
<'They spend too much.
"They flirt too much.
tsThey nag too much.
sThey wear too little"
What is the trouble with wives?
Divorce court judges, puzzled hus-
bands and attorneys specializing in
cases dealing with marital woes have
been trying to find an answer to
this question for long time. 1t In
terested saba Cowan and Howard
Higgin so much that they wrote an
original story for the screen, "The
Trouble With Wives" directed for
Paramount by Malcolm st. Clair and
featuring Florence yidor, Tom
Moore, Esther Ralston and Ford
Sterling.
Moore is the bordering husband
in the picture which viii be shown
at the Monroe Theatre today. Il
treats of the subject of divorce in a
richly humorous fashion, is an easy
flowing, mirthful analysis of the lit
tie human episodes which mean so
much in the marriage arrangement.
The incidents follow closely upon
one another and they hit home even
though the story deals in generalities
to avoid any suggestion of being
propaganda or of preaching a SER
mon.

nedy, Eta Lee and William Court
