Muzzled By Ordinance
A musslo ls shortly to be applied
to exponents of a peculiarly British
form of industry—~the business oi
the oratorical tipster on the races.
These human loud speakers have
been holding forth in numbers for
some time on the outskirts of Lon-
don's popular open-air debating
ground. Hyde Park. and their noisy
and voluble career has finally been
adjudged a nuisance.
The muuling ordinance is em-
bodied in a government bill in Par-
liament which provides that any
person delivering a speech or ad-
dress imparting information con-
cerning betting or racing. "or ad-
vertising that such information can
ble to a five pound fine.
The omce of Works was rather
apologetic in commenting on this
measure—an abridgement of the
traditional British liberty of speech.
An omclsl expressed dislike at
“making rules that interfere with
the liberty of the subject." but ex-
plained that in this case there had
been an undoubted abuse of liberty.
as the number of tipsters had so in.
creased as to constitute an annoy-
ance to the public.

days find married couples indulging
in a new-tangled substitute for the
cross word pussle. This is probing
at:a the mysteries of the figures
Someone discovered that these
figures invariably come from adding
the following: the year of one’s
birth. one's age. the year of mar-
riage. and the number of years
married. '
The’pussle. which is bewildering
to most people. rests on the obvious
fact that all: equals twice 1926. and
that the year of birth. plus present
age always equals 1926. as does also
the year of marriage plus the num-
ber of years of the duration of the
marriage.

Mary Carr is at the Palace theatre
today in "Somebody's Mother." the
story of a mother's love for a son
who is torn away from her. and a
mother's devotion and her reward.
it has pathos. romance and humor
and it offers New Carr in a beau-
tiful.“ enpeelinp and sweet role. as
the mother.
Tomorrow and Thursdey Ford
Sterling with W. C. Goodrich of
Norwalk will be seen in "The Show
Off." Mr. Goodrich will appear in
the same role in the photoplay
presentation as he did when the pro-
duction appeared on the Regent
stage. recently. “The Show Off" is a
rich comedy with a blatant and pre-
varicating youth. working his im-
agination to unbounded limits to win
the girl he loves but ntst prove he
is a man of means which he claims
he is but in reality is only a clerk.
Through a twist of “to, he is able to
' carry on his well planned story with.
out the girl or his parents being the
wiser. It is a iocund comedy.
“Gm
Reginald Denny. who passes good
cheer along merrily. is at the Regent
theatre for today only in “Rolling
Home." He has only a thin dime
in his pockets but attempts a ven-
ture which calls for comedy situa-
tions arid success. it is a medley of
joyous fun.
Tomorrow and Thursday. Beatrice
Joy and Tom Moore will be offered
in ”The Clinglng Vine." The story
is by Zelda Sears of Norwelk. ”The
stage success reached great heights
and the motion picture version it is
said will equal if not outdo the stage
presentation.
The photoplsy version has two
famous screen stars in in, main
roles which assures a successful of-
fering. ,

something to conceal. and that in
her present mood. she would either
blurt itout. or would tell some ogre
glous lies.
And good Mrs. .Prentiss wanted to
save the pretty child from either

So she said. quite casually. "You

left the room.
"Now. my dear child." Mrs. Pren

silence. "you may go right to bed.
or.— if you choose. you may talk
things over a. bit first."
Bunny looked at her with the
glance a wise owl might give a coun-

"Please. Mrs. Prentiss. I think I'll

And or the next half hour. Mrs.
Prentiss was more like a matron of
an orphan asylum or head nurse in
a charity ward than anything else.
And little Bunny. exhausted by the
unaccustomed strain on her nerves
and emotions. tucked herself be-
tween the nice porcele sheets. which
Mrs. Prentiss “preferred to linen."
and. after her kind hostess had de-
parted. thought things over.
Meanwhile. though Teddy Buck
