THE BIJOU. With a program holding two stars of the first magnitude, the second episode of an exciting serial, a laughable com edy and the latest news reel, everything is all arranged for another one of those big Sunday night shows at -the Bijou theatre, and all of the patrons of that popular theatre will undoubtedly be on hand. r ' ' The , bisr special feature picture for Sunday night only is "Brute Island," starring the ever popular Harry Carey, one of the most beloved heroes of the screen today. He s portrays the char acter of the "hell hound" of the South seas, a man whose sinister reputation has spread , to every trading ship that sails among the .Solomon Islands, but who had once been a gentleman, a graduate of Harvard '05. ' ' Another big picture to be shown Sunday night is "The Riddle: Woman," ' starring Geraldine Farrar. Carl Jacoby wrote this sensational story of three women who have fallen,' one by one, into the artful toils of a roue. How the second woman saves the first, and the first woman saves the third from the machinations of this unspeakable black- 1 guard, makes a three-ply plot of un usual dramatic interest., ' The action ;qf the play -takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and'New York. ' - ' Geraldine Farrer, by: virtue of her prominence in the world of music, has her niche in every household. Her face, figure and dramatic ability are known to almost every one. No one could better portray the leading character in such a drama as "The Riddle : Woman." The story of this remarkabie picture briefly is this: Lilla, happily married for five years to Lars Olrik, is black mailed by Eric Helsinger, a roue. She had been one of his innocent victims Another bright namDer for Sunday evening will be the lively comedy, "Ain't Love Grand," this reel being a thousand feet , of film packed to the last inch with fast, hilarious fun. The latest 'release of the Selznick News Weekly , will also be a. part of the bunday evening program. . v The vaudeville bill ' for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has received careful and painstaking attention: tiaroia w est, wno was seen in a local theatre not long ago in the big production, J ack o lantern, appears with the Misses Norns m Pinkie, Billie Burke's latest and happiest vau deville idea. -' Another feature of this bill is the Choy Ling Hee : Troupe of Oriental Wonder Workers. - Various Chinese companies have" demonstrated their skill before lAmerican audiences but , none more effectively Jhan : this troupe of mystifiers.' ' :'.':," V 'V,1 v' V ! Billy and Eddie Gorman in their "Odds and Ends of Songdom"; Arthur Hillard and Minnie Marlin in their pat- tery and tuneful oddity "Honeymoon ing," and the Eight Black Dots, a dou ble quartet of colored singers, dancers and comedians are other acts on the Palace bill, for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. -' . Another big bill is due at the Palace for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A notable offering for these three days is the unusualy fine photo drama, "Once to Every Woman" a. vehicle of the highest dramatic caliber starring Doro thy' Phililps. THE ;-HYPERION.

"The Riddle: Woman" will also be shown on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, as will "The Dragon's Net, in combination with a great bill of vaudeville, headed by - the Billy Lightelle Revue, which was produced by Attorney Joseph Koletsky of this city in conjunction with Mr. Lightelle. Attorney Koletsky is one of New Haven's best known attorneys, and his initial adventifre in theatrical 'produc ing is , awaited with interest- Billy Lightelle, , the featured comedian, is an old favorite . with :, Bijou audiences. Four other big acts complete the bill. THE PALACE. "The Devil's Pass Key. a drama Jaid in Paris, the wicked ; Paris the wonder ful; directed by Erich von Stroheim, the genius who is responsible for "Blind Husbands," is the extraordinary and exceptional screen feature to be shown at the. Palace Sunday evening and Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Although it has " been presented in very few theatres before being made a Palace attraction "The , Devil's Pass Key" has in its New ' York, Philadel phia and Chicago engagements mounted to a place among the; highest of the great photo dramas. O The story of "The Devil's Pass Key" is of butterfly wives, scandalous tongues, social vultures and intriguing ' women. But after all it is the dramatic power of the story and the manner in which a. cast of sterling merit portrays its various characters that make "The Devil's Pass Key" the great master pic ture that it is. A prominent figure in this cast is Sam de Grasse whose artis try did so much to make "Blind Husf bands" a great success. i ; As usual a special added feature t is on the program for Sunday 'evening. This is the Paramount feature, "Her Husband's Friend," .with the magnetic little star, Enid Bennett, appearing in the leading role. , "v 1 ; . day evening with a 16 reeLproeram bf features and a diversified and pleasing bill and coupled with the announcement is one that will please the vast throngs of Sunday night picture goers for, a flat price of admission will be made, the lowest in the town, and patrons have a choice of any seat in the house at one price. This is expected to make a popular hit with the public and for the first concert this Sunday night Man ager Menges has arranged an especially attractive program, " Topping the bill will be "The Invisible , Divorce." The picture asks the " question, "Could you still be a wife to a man who loved an other woman ?" and ' the production finds a new peephole in that corner of life. Another smashing five r reel pic ture will be; shown on the bill with Gladys Walton m "Risky Business," the story of a raichievous young "flapper who unwittingly acts as confederate to a modern society Raffles. The comedy will he 1 win t .rnnlcs and thpr wil be a News Weekly and other features, From out of the past there comes to a beautiful girl her mother's sin, to mock the right to love to take what God had given her to snatch aside the veil that hid the brand. That is the startling situation that is evolved in "Branded," the greatest melodrama that has 1 ever been seen. on. the speaking stagehand Branded comes to the 'Hy perion the coming week giving the able and, competent company of artists en rolled under the Hyperion banner their first big opportunity v this ; season in melodrama. .. - ;' Oliver D.

The mother, Dolly Dot Belmarj will be played by Bertha Creighton, one of the best "character actresses on the American stage, and the daughter, Sfljs (Shthmfeia: "I cock my hat a I plmam, B Q ED EJ Indoor or oat " Walt Whitman A chain lunch-room concern, doing busmess m Connecticut cities, recently announced that just as soon as the new menu cards could be obtained from the printer food prices would be reduced i nat was several weeks ago and no new price lists have been forthcoming. Meanwhile prices for eggs and 'some other things have been advanced. These prices may be continued or, perhaps, it will give the concern a chance to . re duce back to the old figures by aid of the printer. In either case it means further illustration of how the public is being humbugged on every hand. J Some of the : editorial piffle - about labor's readjustment, meant to be taken seriously, affords only amusement. Here's a fair sample culled from a long winded editorial in a New Haven daily paper : , lhe producers have not been doing their full share. They, have been trying to produce in many instances jugt enough to get by, and yet they have expected to have the same reward, and an even greater reward, .for working. Many have regarded it as a favor to the community that they should work at all." , Alas and alack, too bad it is that these overworked editorial scribes, in the employ of plutocratic newspaper proprietors, are so worried over the failiners of the producers. How comes that we never hear them lamenting over the short comings of the non-producers, the many men who never worked for, or earned, an honest dollar in their lives? . 3 n ft Ifistmas Gifts The P.

Here - follows meat for men, something sound in the views entertained 'Editor FCrbes of Forbes Magazine, a financial writer of note, said recently : If ever our present economic structure is ruth lessly torn down, the cause is likely to be unemployment. The amount of en forced seasonal idleness in this country is a grave reflection upon the master minds of the financial and business communities. There is lacking among employers a proper feeling of responsi bility, a due realization ; of ; what they owe not only their s employes but .tfite nation. To allow unemployment to be come extensive this winter will be ex tremely dangerous." , " , 1 : - Continuing along on the above lines, Editor Forbes concludes, thusly: "This is no time for each employer to think only of himself and let others suger as they may. That selfish, shortsighted, unbusinesslike . attitude has ' brought grave trouble to ; other countries. If persisted in long enough and carried far enough, it would assuredly bring trouble here also. ; Continuity - of employment is a problem which should be exercise ing the minds bf every employer and every business association in the United States. If it does not exercise - the minds of business men, it will probably be taken out of their hands and handled by others less capable of effecting the desired results, i If a million men who are willing to work cannot find work, j submissively. ' . ; . - Robert C Deming, Americaniza tion director of the state board of edu cation, recently announced that 9,472 immigrants came to Connecticut during the first sixfmonths of the present year, and oredicts that 24,000 will have reach ed Connecticut bv the end of this month and at the end of the year a total of 24,972 will ibe reached. I met Mr. Deming recently, and he is a very fine man to meet, by the way, and 4 . . . . talked witn mm aDout tnis immigration oroblem. He said that Connecticut's social, educational and industrial insti tutions are confronted by a great prob lem by the arrival of these foreigners But when I spoke of the incoming hordes to this country, Brother Deming had "nothing to say for publication at this time." There are many good and wise men who, in my opinion, are alto gether too cautious in expressing a per sonal opinion about such vital questions, They leave it to George. And about the only George ready to speak his mind and act as well, ' seems to be just now enrolled within the ranks of organized labor. At the present ses sion of ' Congress officials of the Fed eration of Labor are expected to be up and doing and make a great fight in support of a bill to stop immigration temoorarilv. T quote from a recent issue of The Federationist, which says "that ; restriction of immigration is the all-important, question to organized la bor and asks local unions jo appoint committees, to wait upon members of Congress and insist upon the protection that Congress should give, our people. There are plenty of indications, how ever, that the tight will be sidestepped because there are many among the pow ers that be who are eagerly looking forward to an overflow of foreign la bor. "It's the only way" they say, "to break union labor's strangle hold on in dustrv. keen wages down to where they belong and provide tor the open shop. If we get any restrictive immigration bill at all at Washington, at this session of Congress, it is likely to be a make shift affair. A great ado has been in the news papers over tne .arop in tne price oi oork this week. Some of the articles and editorials in connection, if they were believed, would have us back to ore-war time prices on aH foodstuffs. Because the succulent pig fell to 25 cents a pound, or thereabouts, some of the newspapers worded the news mat ter m such a way as to indicate that all meats had taken a fall. The con trary is true, some meats and many other foodstuffs are as high as ever. The wish for lqw prices is father to the thought with some papers. . It's pro paganda on their part. They seek to convey the impression taht a pre-war basis has been reached, or : is being reached rapidly, so that the employer will have a ready excuse for .lowering wages. .. . . : - Ruth Belmar," by Ninita Bristow. One of the greatest characters ever drawn for melodrama is that ot velvet Kraft," a king among crooks, and this will be played by Bob Laurence, with Malcolm Fassett as the affianced hus band of Ruth and the man who brings the blackmailers to bay. Every mem ber of the company will have a big and important role and the cast will be aug mented. "Branded" is the good old fashioned melodrama brought right up to date with twists and turns of stage production and bits of business.
