It is boosted everywhere as one of the hair aozen of 1029's ban ner productions. It is a United Ar tists picture, Directed by Richard Jones. It is a romantic yarn, with an English trtllng—full or red blooded eburago and action. Ronald Colman has risen to new heights n his screen care*r, as the top notchcr of the piece. It is the sort of story to thrill you to the marrow. A remunerative business without an investment is rarely found, but laymen realize the immense an Y.nt of money that must be in vested in equipment and parapher nalia before oringing to perfection a Temple of Mystery such as will be on display at the Princess when Mysterious Smith brings his massive production for an engagement of six days, starting today. These big Muttons, such as Mr. Smith employe, are not created in wholesale qufn titles like shoes hats, or "tin lizzies.” Each one, as a rule, must be made separately, as they are generally owned and copy righted by the hiventor who reserv es their use for himself or to some one or two of the more prominent magicians.

Attempted explanations failed to soothe Wredt's feelings and Ills wife, who is considerably younger than himself, sued forjdlvorce. The divorce was seemed together with the custody of a minor child, to whose support Wredt must pay *5 weekly. On Going Home For Christmas (By EDGAR A. GUEST) He little knew the sorrow that was in his vacant chair. He never guessed they’d miss him, or he’d svely have been there He couldn’t see his mother, or the lump that filled her throat, Or the tears that starting falling as she read his hasty note; And he couldn't see his father, sit ting sorrowful and dumb, Or he never would have written that he thought he couldn't come. He little knew the gladness that his presence would have made. And the Joy It would have stayed; He didn’t know how hungry had the little mother grown, Once again to see her baby and to claim him for her own; He didn't guess the meaning of his visit Christmas Day, Or he never would have written that he couldn' get away. He couldn't see the fading of the cheeks tnat once were pink, And the silver in the tresses; and he didn’t stop to* think;; How the years arc passing swiftly, and next ( hrtstmas might be, There would be no home to visit and no mother dear to see; He didn't think about It—I’ll not say he didn'1 care. He was heedless and forgetful or he’d sure:y have been there. Are you going home for Christmas? Have you written you’ll be there? Going home to kiss the mother and to show her that you care; Going home to prect the father In a way to make him glad, If you’re not I hope there’ll never come a time you'll wish you had: Just sit down ana write a letter—It will make their heart strings hum With a tune of perfect gladness—if you’ll tell them that you'll come The Men Knew. The female crutor w'as raving and ranting to a small audience of men. ‘‘Women,” she shrieked, ‘‘at all times have been the backbone of all nations. Who was the world’s greatest hero? Helen of Troy! Who was the world’s greatest martyr? Joan of Arc! Who was the world's greatest ruler? Who, I say, was the world's greatest ruler?” And simultaneously that entire crowd of men arose and answered in one voice, ‘My wife!" . Try Star Wants Ads.

McNEELY COMPANY Mrs. Hoover Is New Type Of First Lady Washington.—Lou Henry Hoover, who rode a friendly bicycle over Iowa county roads, has not chang ed much. In the months that have passed since the heavy responsibility as president’s wife was placed on her, her acts have pictured a new type of First Lady. She has done unprecedented things and a resume of her “tenure In office” brings out sharply that hers will be a unique place in his tory. She shops and drives alone. She goes to evening entertainment. '! without the president. She brings the things In which I she Is interested into the daily life ! of the White House instead of let- j, ting it and her exalted position in j the nation’s life rule her. Until she became First Lady, it i was an unheard of thing for the president’s wlie to make any trip however- short, outside the White House gates unless accompanied by j a secret service man. Now a .White House, car often glides out of tne big gate with the mistress of tire mansion at the wheel. Only wemen friends are in the car. No s<licitous “other car” accompanies them. When she gof; on trips out of town or to affairs where big crowds make it unwise for her to be alone, however, Mrs. Hoover conforms to custom. The sight of Mrs. Hoover, walk ing buoyantly along on her low heeled shoes, Is nqi an unusual oc currence In Washington’s shopping districts. Here, too, she is unac companied save by a girl secretary. Mrs. Hoover has re-nrranged the White House to suit herself and in a way to make it homey and com fortable. She has planted a lovely California garden hr the back yard where she entertains little groups oi friends at tea. She still has intimate Sunday night suppers, just as she did on South street, with a few friends dropping in informally. High Hat. Uncle Mose, in spite of his illiter acy, had built up quite a competency from his white-w ashing and calci mining trade. During the course of some busi ness with a notary, the latter pro duced a document saying, "Please sign this here.” “Look heah. suh.” Uncle Mosr said with offended dignity, "I doesn't ever sign my name, suh. I’s a business man, suh, wid no time fer sich trifles. I always dictates my name, sun!” Star Advertising Pays GIFTS of TASTE For Madam SOMETHING subtly artis tic, even a bit bizarre . . . something that reveals in dividuality and refinement.
