MY OFFICIAL WIFE" AT LIBERTY TON|GHT.
 LOOKS, SOUNDS c00D

My Official Wife" the melodramat- ic picture, which comes to the Liberty theatre tonight is the first American production to be made by Paul Stein, the Austrian director, who was im- porter to this country by Warner Bros. and who has been hailed as a second Lubitsch.
 The story he has handled deals with Petrograd, and Vienna before the war Helene, Countess Orloff, is af- fianced to Ivan, Russian nobleman, and they have an engagement to go to a masquerade ball together Ivan however, has mixed his dates, and he finds it more important to his happi- ness to keep an engagement for that evening with notorious demi-mon- UaluO. AS ct result, A1CtCACs "Ao 10 wearing a peasant~costume decides to go to the ball alone.
 Her peasant disguise and her dis tinguished beauty take the eye of six roystering young nobles, who force her to accompany them to wayside inn. There, is riotous orgy, they cast lots for her, and she is won by a Grand Dukes son, named Alexander.
 She escapes at dawn and at home confesses her humiliation to her fath- CT and Ivan. They are furious and Ivan breaks his engagement. Helene swears revenge upon her betrayer, and the sensational story that de- velops is full of incidents that ranges from the road to Siberia, to the gay cafes of Vienna, and back thru the turmoil of postwar Russia.
 Irene Rich, who embarked upon a career of playing gay Continental ladies when she scored her big suc- cess as the erring mother in Lady Windermere's Fan'', has vividly pic turesque role as Helene, and she acts it up to the hilt Conway Tearle adds another excellent portrait to his long gallery of screen heroes, as the gay and festive Alexander Jane Winton is cast as the lady of the half-world, who toys with his affections; Gustav von Seyffertitz as the Grand Duke; Stewart Holmes as Ivan; Emil Chaut- ard as Count orloff, and John Milan as Nicholas, one of the roystering noblemen.

ALAS K A
By Ruth James Woolverton

By Ruth Woolveron When was child of just aboutthree I thought that Alaska was cold as could be. Thought twas land of ice and snow Where nothing at all could live or grow. But now that I'm older and know much more, I'm ashamed to confess what thought of yore For somehow other, perhaps twas fate, I've come here to live, and think it's great! Mighty mountains rise up from the sea Like princes proud, snow-crowned and free, Their sides are cloaked in purple and green Girdled around with glacier-gleam. About their peaks the clouds hang low While along the ridges and deep ravines, Stretch miles and miles of ice-blue snow Which in the spring-time melts and flows In thunderous rlshings to down-belews. Ger pebbles and cobbles, sand and mud, Roaring and rushing into flood Cold as the glacier from which it came Onward tumbling-never tame. And running inland from the sea, A wide road roams for you and me; Leaving Seward, seaport town, To skirt the mountains which on 1t frown. Grasses tall and flowers fair Nod and wave in bright clear air Bordering the road and inviting you,dear To see what God has planted here GA regular Fairyland you'll find, As the roadway climbs and twists and winds) It follows the cliffs and icy streams In which kng-salmon and brook-trout gleam; Through forests jungle-like green and gold Where ferns and trees seem centuries old Giant ferns and aged pines, Devils claws, and running vines Most of them grow berries red And mosses green hang o'er head. Now and then, sea-gull screams, A black crow caws and flies unseen. Reindeer and moose, sometimes bear, Come down from the mountain and find food ther Of course we have horses and dogs for teams, And railroad and ships, and strange tho it seem Cows, and their calves, way up on hill, In dairy that has red windmill. Tennis and golf, ,and what do you think? The courts will soon be 8 skating rink! know that these things are bound to surprise And visit up here would open your eyes.

MEET REAL TESTS
 TOMORROW NIGHT
Landers and Fafnir Teams Face Tough Battles in Dusty League
Landers and Fafnir teams In the Y. M. C, A. Industrial Basketball

Landers and Fafnir teams in the Y. M. c. A. Industrial Basketball league which have been battling in a tie in an upward grind toward the top are to be put to the test for the second time ina month when they play Stanley Rule and Corbin Cab met Lock quintets at the Stanley Arena tomorrow night.
 New Britain Machine girls. who Dusty League fans hoped would up- set one of the three league leaders. but who failed against two of them. will be sent in against the third. Landers, which has not been defeat ed in a league game this year. A victory for the Newmatics will tie Landers and Stanley Rule and will leave P. X F. Corbins within a half game of the lead.
 If previous games are to be judged then tomorrow's games should be very closely fought Fafnirs and Corbin Cabinet had a hard battle which was finally won by the Bear .ng Makers Stanley Rule played one of its best games against Landers when the two teams met, but the Universals had sizeable lead at the end. The Rulers will have [ strong CT team this time with the addition of Eddie Walthers who will i'll bad gap at center. He was one of the strongest players in tho Rule shops last game two weeks ago.
 Az both are within striking dis tance of first place at the present time, they are anxious to keep win- ming 50 they can be ready to advance if either Corbin Screw or Stanley Works slips. Landers got off to good start. hit a mid-season slump. but is now recovering for a strong finish. It will be strengthened in the final dash by the addition to the lineup of Frank Nester. the coach. who was not in physical condition during the first round.
 Fafnirs got of to poor start when they drew a game with P. X F. Corbins az the opening game of the season. LaHar's strong come back. especially in his offensive work has aided the team in its comeback.

Outplayed completely during the entire game, the Hartford Yankees suffered a 31 to 17 defeat at the hands of New Britain Saturday night at the Stanley Arena in game characterized by exceptional rough ness in the second half. The Hart ford management threatens 10 pro- test the outcome on the grounds that time was called out before a basket was made by Zakzewski in the sec ond half.
 Referee Jim Keefe of Waterbury banished three players during the contest. Rubenstein of Nv Britain and Friedman of Hartford both left the contest after having four per sonal fouls called on them while Torrant was banished for "unneces- sary roughness" according to the referees dictum.
 Hartford played its best basketball in the first half. The session was characterized by the close guarding of both quintets with the result that there was little scoring from the floor. Each team scored three field baskets fin this session but through it's superior foul shooting. New Brit ain gained a half-time lead of 12 to 8. New Britain made six out of nine free tries to two out of 10 scored by Hartford.
 There was no comparison between the teams in the second frame. Hartford, facing certain defeat be- gan a rough style of play which the New Britain team matched. As tine half wore on, New Britain, drew steadily away from the visiting az gregation through the exceptional work of Johnny Sheehan and Jim- my Zakzewski from the floor. Des- pite the fact that Hartford might protest the decision. the absolute superiority shown by the New Brit ain quintet left no doubt in anyone's mind as to which team was superior.
 It was a close basketball game during the first half. Zakzewski's foul goal was nulled by one by Half ner shortly after the game began. Sheehan got q basket at the 3:30 minute mark and Zakzewski added another shortly after him. Sloman added foul point and Zakzewski got clear for another field goal. Foul shots and field baskets by Murphy and Hurley brought Hart ford's score up and the teams end ed the first half with the score IF to in favor of New Britain.
 Second Half.
 Torrant opened the second half with q pretty shot from the center of the floor. Sheehan and Zakzewski added two field baskets to New Brit aims score. Hafner scored from the floor but Sheehan got his second basket of the frame. Again Sheehan cut loose and scored and a foul and basket by Zakzewski gave New Brit tain a lead of o3 to lc. Hartford was helpless before the excellent guarding of New Britain in which Tom Leary was the shining star. Gubersky added a point but shcehan got another basket.
 The game appeared to be a rum away from the New Britain poin. of view. The Hartford players were protesting every decision of Referee keefe. The ball went outside and

Captain Anna Marley Scores All
 of Her Teams Points

Captain Anna Marley continued her consistent scoring in the Girls
 Y. M. c. A. Industrial Basketball League Saturday night at the Stanley Arena in the game against the New
 Britain Machine. She scored all of Sanley Rules points in its to ? victory over the Newmatic girls. She
 is now within three points of the
 league-leader. Mary Motyka. P. & F. Corbin player.
 The victory keeps Jimmy Murphy's
 Rulers right on the heels of the league-leading Landers team. The Universals and the second place
 Rulers will fight it out two weeks from Saturday and If both teams continue their winning streak to that date the game will be for the champ ionship. If the Rulers win a tie game in the early part of the season will have to be played off between them for the title.
 Saturdays game. which was the preliminary to the All-New Britain Hartford Yankee contest, was not so interesting. Newmatic players could not score a field goal in the face of the guarding of the two sturdy Ru1- CTS. Speck and Dashner. Although
 Mary Jarnot and Rose Paul were
 held in check as far as scoring was concerned. Marley came through for
 needed points. The only points scored by the Machine girls were foul goals
