"Tomorrow, and I'll meet Her at ' the train, shop around with her af " ter 4ier baggage is checked and we can all eat dinner in the city, and come out together." "Tomorrow" came, and Jack was promptly on hand to meet Jill and Madge in the tea room of one of the big hotels. Madge was effusive and Jack was delighted. There seemed a tiny expression of anxiety in Jill's face which he did not understand. "I wish you would take me to some lively cabaret place for din n ner, Jack. You know J haven't been : in New York for years." Madge drew out a little memoran dum, and read off some names. The one she chose was the most expen sive place in the big city. Jack did a bit of mental arithme tic, nnd was relieved to remember that he had just about enough mon ey with him to pay the bill that was 'coming He nodded agreeably, and beamed . uaJilI, who heartened up a bit. hey had many course dinner W)C .hie restaurant, for Madge ne jjuite Jtungry and a fluent giv r ?.'! orders. s . ,naJl love to ear the things one c$esn't have at liiimc,'". she said gaily. V Jack realized it Tatlier glumly as he mentally audited the check. But there was nothing to do but smile. '"Madge, dear,' we just want to have you do as you please and have a good time," said Jill reassuringly. "You are the one who is to do the . choosing of everything." , "Well, then, I've an idea. I saw by the paper on the train that to night is the last night of that big re view in the Winter Garden. I've read so much about it in the papers , at home, and seen pictures of the costumes, too. I'd dearly love to see '. .it." - Jack was aghast. The bill would leave him with about one dollar over. ."It's pretty late to get tickets." he stammered.' "Aren't there speculators who seK them. I read about how all shows have their seats sold out to the tick et agencies," insisted Madge. , ,. Jack nodded. " "Well, we'll see about it."N Whtn the waiter presented the hill, even Madge looked nervously at the amount of money laid down by her host. , . s "Oh, 1 had no idea it was so ex pensive for a simple, little supper. Perhaps you haven't enough mon ey with you for the theater, Jack? 1 know you ' didn t expect such a ' SiTack was relieved, but only for i Here. I have plenty of money, i Jack, and will lend you whatever ! you need. You can pay back to morrow." . . Thcv were doomed. ' Another $15 went to the specula tors for the musical show which both Jack and Jill had seen before from cheaper seats. Jack now understood Jill's little nervous expression. ' " He was outwardly the same laughing Jack, . but when Madge began to read during the acts the list of ther shows, hotels, and places of entertainment which she had picked out for herself he began to. perspire, with a view of bank ruptcy in his mind's eye. . Next morning, as Madge chatted about her plans for. the day another visit to the city and a matinee the doorbell rang. , It was a telegram from her mother, who was suddenly taken ill. . ' Oh, that's an end to the visit. Isn't it horrible?" ! Madge fairly wailed. Jack and Jill both agreed, and they both went into the city ith her on the early train to see ter off for home. , , , j As the gates closed, and Jack pre , bared to start down to his office, he kissed Jill fondly. , "Next time we nave a reiauve vis 5f hnv let' trv one of vours." ('fnnvricht. 1921. Thompson Feature Service.) To 'Bob' or Not to 'Bob' Mamrita Fisher, dainty screen star, is trying to decide whether or not " she1 should have her lustrous tresses "bqbbed." After pondering the matter for some time she took a test "vote" among the girls at the -Santa Claus association, who read all the little ones letters to Santa. Out of 42 girls, 19, who had their own hair clipped, said, "No." Miss Fisher, don't do it," and three con fessed that they didn't think she d Hike it. The other 20, whose locks .till intact, told her that they thought she would look, "perfectly wonderful." . . So now Miss Fisher is m as baa a quandry as before. - Bobby Connelly The terra "America's " youngest star" can very well be applied to Robert, better known as "Bobby" Connelly, who is featured along with C.ladvs Leslie and Creiehton Hale, in Ivan Abramson's ohotonlay. "A Child for Sale," which opens today at the Mueller theater. It may be safely said that this pre cocious youngster's dramatic talent called forth more sighs and tears than the work of any other member of the illustrious cast which partici pates in this drama. 'Star Ban One-Piece Suit Marie Prevost is getting farther and farther away from the bathing suit in which she won her fame as a photo player. The shapely star is at work at L'niversal City now on "PTincess Virtue," a story of Parisian niirht life, in which she wears a dazzling array of spectacu ' lar costumes. Here's what Argns-eyed philosoph , ers of the film world say about - stories and writers in general, ac cording to an article in Fhotodrania tist for Decemberj &m ir i fo"'9 l r. ( i E-MPRESffi Good Risk for Any Accident Company Is . Mr. George Whiting The appearance of George Whit ing and Sadie Burt at the Orpheum this week, brings to 'the minds of many people, particularly those who have been to Chicaso in recent years, the expression: "You're as lucky as George Whiting." The George Whiting of the Or pheum team is the man who caused the birth of the expression. Whit ing believes that when he dies he will be in bed at any rate, he will not meet a violent death. If it had been fated that he was to meet death from unnatural causes, he be lieves he would long since have been in his grave. Whiting has es caped injury, and possible death a dozen times, but it was when the fates guided into terrible danger and out of it four timea within two months that the world awoke to the fact that Whiting's charmed life seemed good cause for a simile."; . Whiting used to be quite a fire "fan." He would .stop anything . o follow a'' fire engine. His delight was te ride on a piece of apparatus. One ; night When a fire truck was .re sponding to an alarm. Whiting was on the run-board. The . front axle broke and seriously ' injured four men. Whitinsr was thrown off with them but escaped without a scratch,. Two mahts later he was riding m the front seat of a cable car when the cable broke and the car sped down the incline of the La calle street tunnel. It jumped the track and telescoped the front platform. Whiting was among the wreckage but escaped injury. . - 1 In the same month he walked into the Chicago river, not noticing a red li(?ht of warning, indicating that tne drawbridge was swung open. He was rescued by a night watchman. Shortly afterwards a police officer slipped on an icy sidewalk. His re volver was discharged and the bul let found its way through Whiting's derby hat. "After those four things happened to me in such quick succession," Mr. Whiting says, "I had nerve enough to become a vaudeville performer." Entering vaudeville, Mr. Whiting an his demurely charming partner created a style entirely their own in presenting 6ongs. They met with al most immediate success and today thev stand in a class by themselves. Their offering might be called "Song Sayings. Thev do not really sing sonars; they talk them and act them quietly and, confidentially, each ton telling a story that wrestled with a problem of life or love and brings it to a pleasing development. . Chows as Actors Next Edward K. Lincoln, who is play ing the lead "in sucaort of Hope Hampton in that 'star's latest pro duction, "The Light in the Dark," is an enthusiastic breeder of blooded chows and his prize canines have won most of the honors in their class at every bench show held in the east this year. Mr. Lincoln owns the Greenacre kennels, near Fairfield, Conn., which captured the national kennel trophy for chows this year. His principal prize-winners are Greenacre Li ring Tow, a great red chow, that Mr. Lincoln purchased in England last spring and which has captured all honors wherever exhibited this year, and Greenacre Blue Winkle his veteran medalist, a chow of real azure hue. Some day Mr. Lincoln hopes to produce a picture in which his prize winners will be the principals and the actors will be merely atmos phere. Fast Art.

Mist Hamper, like every sucre isful young actress, has her host of admirers, and since she hat beun playing Rosalind in maliure perform ances of "At You Like It," it haa been especially noted that she hat won matinee girls and their mothers almost to the verge o( idolatry.

' Sadie Burt Retains Schoolgirl Ambitions There vui a popular long t few yean ago, the principal line of which was to tue effect that if you are half the man your mother thinks you are, you have attained more than ordi nary success. That tong made no ref erence to the ladiet, but it would be rather easy to paraphrase it for Sade Burt of the team of Whiting and Burt, at the Orpheum thit week. Sadie Burt's greatest ambition u to attain half the prrttige that her mother and father think her worthy of. When Min Burt it on t'- ttaire the eyes of the audience are fixed upon her, but her eyet arc on a men tal picture of her parents.
