loss of memory.
However, she laughed. rode her
horses, motored, attended the
opera in Stockholm, went yacht
ing on the cool waters of the
Baltic when the end of World
War ! made this pastime safe
once more.
Her aunt had told her that she
was the Baroness Ingrid Born
stad, had carefully explained that
she had fallen and suffered a
shock which temporarily had de-
prived her of her memory. Ingrid
accepted this without question
and her friends, of course, never
referred to Eric.
In one respect only was Ingrid
odd. That was in her determine
ton to be near telephone when
ever she was in her home. The
aunt hoped that the girl might
resume a normal life by falling
in love with one of the handsome
and wealthy young suitors who
surrounded her, but she never did.
Il don't know, auntie," she
would say, they're nice men, but
they just don't interest me that
way"
Physicians advised the aunt to
leave the girl to the healing min
istrations Of time and nature.
However, her mania for tele-
phones increased with the years.
She had more of the instruments
installed in the house. Then she
had others placed in the garden
in covered cases on the tables
and in boxes nailed to trees in
the woods.
Every room in the house from
kitchen to attic had from three
to a dozen installations. There
were phones in the greenhouses
and in the garage. Her big power
yacht was fitted with a ship-to-
shore two-way phone when these
came into use. BY pressing a
button on one instrument this
one alone would ring for an in
coming call. This had been done

which would result if all were to

The blond beauty Of the baron

beauty of middle years, but never
would she explain her feeling for
the phones, save to say with
a puzzled smile to curious
strangers:

very important call. and do not

phone nearest 90 her. The Hults-

NERHAPS the strangest case
~

HERHAPS the strangest case
of amnesia in modern medi-
cal annals which has puzzled
virtually every physician in Swe-
den for more than quarter CEN
fury, ended recently when 1872
telephones in the palatial home Of
Baroness Ingrid Bjornstad all
rang at once.
AS the phone bells tangled
in the great garden, the garage,
stables and the manor house, the
beautiful, gray-haired, 45-year-old
baroness leaped to her feet and
cried:
"At last Eric's calling" and
then, catching sight of her gray
hair in a mirror, she tainted.
This brought to an end the
story of a tragedy which started
one sunny spring morning in 1917.
The young baroness, beautiful,
wealthy, and noted for her wit,
refinement and culture in Stock
holm, stood in the garden of her
summer home near Hultsfred,
Sweden, talking with Lieutenant
Eric Rikstaffsen, her fiance. The
two had quarreled.
1t was just one of those boy
and girl spats but it seemed seri.

Very we'll, Ingrid," said the
tall, handsome, young officer bow
ing to the girl who watched him
with anger-crimsoned cheeks, IF
that is the way you feel, / can
only leave you. But I'm sure
that you'll see how wrong you
are when you think it over. I'll
call you when you've had time TO
cool off"
A few moments later she heard
his car as it went down the drive
TO the main road.
For - hours Ingrid nursed her
anger The second day she Won
dered what really happened, The
third day she reproached herself
bitterly The fourth day she de-
bated whether TO call up Eric,
who was stationed with his artil-
lery regiment at nearby Vaster-
vik, on the coast of the Baltic.
Through the fifth day she fought
of the desire TO telephone him
and on the sixth day she became
angry at Eric because he had not
called as he had promised.
Through the seventh day she was
torn by conflicting emotions. on
the eighth day the telephone rang.

stad ?' asked a mans deep voice.
Yes replied Ingrid.

guns ,and one of them burst.

The white faced Ingrid dropped
the phone and fell into a chair.
There she was found, half con-
scious, a quarter hour later by
an aunt, who lived with her.
The older woman knew that
something terrible had happened.
But she did not realize until
more than a month later just how
terrible it was. For the young

Classic Comes Home" In- trOduces GeOrgeOus COI-
 lie Dog in Simple Story

Opening today at the Loew Poli Theater is another giant double feature program. The story of a love that almost passes belief, that of small boy and a gorgeous collie dog, brings a different kind of en- tertainment to the screen in Metro Goldwyn Mayors adaptation of Eric Knights story, "Lassie Come Home."
 It is the simple story of York shire family and beautiful collie. Sam Carraclough (Donald Crisp) owns the dog idolized by his son Joe (Roddy McDowalD. Through pov- erty he is forced to sell the canine to wealthy nobleman (Nigel Bruce) who takes Lassie from Yorkshire to his Scottis estates. But the dog, longing for her young mas ter, escapes, and makes her way, a thousand miles, back to her young master. The animal braves perils and starvation, is befriended and even sometimes menaced, by kindly farmers, in 8 vivid and compelling drama.
 Filmed in Technicolor amid gor- geouS scenic locales, the film is one of the greatest dramas ever to be presented on any screen at any time.
 Crisp and young McDowall are as intriguing together as they were in How Green Was My Valley" and Elsa Lanchester plays an under standing and sympathetic mother. Dam May Whitty and Ben Webster give magnificent performances as the old Scotch couple who befriend the starving and exhausted animal. J. Patrick O'Malley plays the bru- tai dog trainer.
 Lassie, the collie, establishes her. self as a new canine star, with her amazing intelligence and person. ality.
 The second big hit on the program is Battle of Russia, a gripping story of the world of today at war, with an all star cast of favorites.
 These two great features can be seen are at our Early Bird Show Saturday morning at 10:00 a. m., which is given every Saturday at this same time for the benefit of defense workers and at no advance in prices. The double feature pro- gram is seen in its entirety at this time.
 The next big attraction coming to the Loew Poli Theater, comes in the way of giant stag and screen show featuring the latest Broadway stars in person and the first Water bury showing of Suspected Per sons," thrilling murder mystery.
 The stage shows are presented daily at 1:20, 400, 6:30 and 800 p. m., but for two big days only, Wednesday and Thursday, with the screen program getting under way at 1900 noon sharp and the doors of the theater opening at 11:45. The complete show is seen in its entirety by 2:30 p. m., allowing defense work CTS to be at their jobs at 800 p. m. sharp.
