Two questions arise in Radio Pictures Kept Husbands" which opened last nght at the Lyric theater.
 First: "Is there any good req son why a woman should not pro- pose marriage to a man?" Second: Should a man allow his wife to pay the bi1ls?"
 In fact, the questions constitute the main theme of this emotional drama, and are discussed in an un- usually pictorial and entertaining manner.
 Star Cast Chiefly involved in the problem are Dorothy Mackaill as the wealthy and sexy young wife. and Joel McCrea, a poor man who re- sents being kept" by the woman he loves.
 Radio Pictures has provided col- orful backgrounds = the habitats of the idle rich in New York and the exclusive watering places in Europe.

YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO-DAY TO SEE BAD GIRL"
 AT FOx.POLI PALACE

To-day is your last opportunity to see Vina Delmar's sensational novel Bad Girl'' with James Dunn and Sally Eilers, Bad Girp has had a record breaking engagement at the Fox-Poli Palace and this is the last day of the showing,
 Tomorrow will be a double fea- ture program, heading the program will be Claudette Colbert in "secrets of a Secretary" and Bert Wheeler in Too Many Cooks"
 Claudette Colbert, chic charmer of "The Smiling Lieutenant,' in a modern play of New York life, Secrets of Secretary"
 She knew everything about life and love-but even the Secrets of a Secretary" were not enough to keep her from getting into a jam. For she hadn't figured on fate. See and be thrilled by Claudette Colbert, Paramount's charm girl, in a play mere gripping than ''Manslaughter.''
 The co-feature will be Bert Wheeler'in 'Too Many Cooks" with Dorothy Lee.
 William Sieter, the director, aid- ed by snappy dialogue, a good cast and fast camera action, developed the full possibilities of the farcical situations and delivered an ex- tremely we'll rounded story.
 Supporting Dorothy Lee and Bert Wheeler are such troupers as Rosco Ates of "Cimarron" fame, Robert McWade, also a sensation in "Cimarron," Florence Roberts, Hallam Cooley. sharon Lynn, Cliff ford Dempsey and fifteen others.
 The excellent job of adaptation and dialogue by Jane Murfin in- sures laugh a minute and a kick in every foot of film.

LUTHER KEITH
 AT KIWANIS CLUB
Gave Hearers Practical Talk on Importance of
 Roadside Decoration
MAKE CITY BEAUTIFUL

The desire for roadside beauty particularly for those who are in the habit of enjoying automobile rides about the state has resulted in the Identification of many high ways, said Luther Keith, of the state highway department, speak ing at the Kiwanis club session at the Elton to-day.
 Winsted, he said, has followed this out in mass planting of laurel. This city wants to be known as the laurel city of the state. This may seem to you to be commer- cializing this phase of Identification but why not? The tourist industry of this state is one of its biggest industries and must be carefully watched" he said.
 The planting of flowers and shrubbery along road sides results in attractive scenery which will please the individual who resides in this state and draw those from surrounding states.

G. 0. P. CHIEFS PICK OCTOBER TICKET
YOUTH GOES TO HOSPITAL AND
 MEETS ARREST
Braintree Boy Proved to Be Youth Who Tried Blackmail and Was. Shot

Brockton, Mass, Sept 9-(UP) "A youth who arrived at Moore hospital early to-day for treatment of a bullet wound was arrested la ter on a charge of attempted blackmai1.
 The suspect, who first claimed he was Russell Hill, 21, of Brock ton, admitted subsequently, that he was Arthur Nesmith of Braintree.
 According to police, the wound in the youths left arm was inflicted last night by Special Officer Leo Devlin of Boston when Nesmith fled after trying to obtain $500 blackmail from Miss Priscilla Karklin, 19, of Dorchester.
 A burglar entered the Karklin home July 12 and stole $5,000 worth of stock certificates, tnsur- ance policies, deeds and jewelry.
 Yesterday morning, John Kark- lin, ships engineer, found in his mailbox a printed note which read:
 If you want the certificates, deeds, policies and rings, have your daughter leave your home prompt ly at o'clock tonight with $500 in $20 bills. She must positively be alone. Put up no tricks. Have your daughter there with the money. This Is the last chance. We will destroy the papers and sell the rings outside of the state."
 Last night, Miss Karklin left home in the family automobile for Franklin park, the scheduled meeting place. She carried no money. Under a blanket in the toneau was Special Officer Devlin.
 No one approached the young woman at the park. So she drove home. She returned to the park, drove home again and came back to the park. Still the blackmailer did not appear.
 It was while she was enroute home for the third time that she espied a young man acquaintance in a parked automobile. She re- called that this youth, once a fre- quent visitor at her home, had not appeared there since the date of the robbery.
 On the hunch that this fellow might be the blackmailer, she turned her machine around and began following his car. At length he stopped, got out and walked over to her automobile. He in- uuired if she were alone. Then he saw the blanket-covere object in the tonneau and ran.
 Special Officer Devlin fired three shots. one of which struck the fu- gitive in the arm. The youth dis appeared in the darkness. In his left behind, police found virtually all the valuables stolen from the Karklin home. 5th ward.

renominate their present select man, William Kenausis, with an- other prominent republican to i'll the other place on the ticket. As for the board of education, several changes are anticipated. Commis- sioners Vincent Miller, Harry J. Beardsley and John M. .Burrall are expected to be renominated. For Mrs Deming's place Mrs F. w. Webster is being mentioned while for the fifth place Mrs Dorothy Vandercook is being pushed.
 Registrar of Voters Thomas F.. Dillane is practically assured of renomination, despite opposition from ex-Alderman Arthur E. Blew its packers. Several others will enter the field for the various posts but they are expected to lose out.
 Deputy Sheriff John l.. Gray to- day appeared the strongest candi- date for town clerk while for city sheriff the names of Angelo Posse mato and Arthur Hebert held the center of the stage. Tomorrow nights conventions will be called to order at o'clock at g. o. D. headquarters. With every effort to preserve harmony being made, it is believed that the three sessions will be over quickly.
