continues to play to large audiences
at the Rialto theatre where he is
meeting with an unprecedented suc-
cess. Sills hasn't attracted such
audiences since the time he was seen
in "The Sea Hawk." "Men of Steel"
is even mightier than that glorious
picture. it is seething with romance.
and drama.
The story is taken in the center
of the steel industry. It combines
education with entertainment. Sel-
dom has a picture with the magni—
tude of this one come to the screen
and the Rislto management feels
proud in being able to offer its pa-
trons such s. sterling photoplsy.

shooting and adventure in the wide

Holt as an outlaw. a fugitive from

in such a fashion as to make other

tures by comparison. It has a cast
that guarantees the great things
promised by the story.

Policeman Blamed ’
For Death Of Hemden
Man By Coroner Mix
lThat Frank Whitman. late of
Hamden. died on August 20 as the
Ieauit of a bullet wound initiated
by an unidentified member of the
Bamden police department. is the
opinion of Coroner Eli Mix in I. find-
ing handed down yesterday after.
noon. Four people in all were shot.
two slightly wounded and one so-
riously in the raid on James J.
O'Connell's restaurant and saloon
located at the corner of St. Mary and
Dudley streets. Hamden. on August
29'. Four state police and six Ham-
den police engaged in the raid
which resulted in the fatality when
police officers fired shots at escaping
frequenters. Coroner Mix also finds
that the promi‘sceus discharge of
revolvers during the raid was un-
warranted.
Deceased Uncertain
The dying man. who was taken to
Grace hospital following the shoot-
ing. made four statements concom-
ing the affray. In two of these state-
ments he accused Officer David W.
Howe of the Hamden police depart-
‘ment of firing the shots which prov-
‘ed fatal to him while in the other
two statements he claimed he did
not know who shot him. Owing to
the contradictory accusations issued
by thedeceased the coroner was un-
able to arrive at any. definite conclu-
sion as to the right man. His deduc-
ticns. however show that all the
shooting was done by members of
tho Hamden department. The raid
was for the purpose of getting evi-
dence of liquor and to shoot was
unwarranted. lid finds. as these acts
were not felonious.

coming to the Stamford Theatre for
great enigma of the stage. He is the
Yogi Man of the acting business. Call'
it a trick. call it art. call it any-
thing you choose—hs does it and it
is the result that ,counts. His acting
method reveals a slow. ‘shalnbling
gait. a. general deliberation or
movement. an unstsdied and natural
way of doing Helga. s. drswlius
voice. a habit of gasing humorous-
lyor sentimentally from eyes_ halt
closed and sleepy. and other equally
distinctive characteristics. Yet in
spite of this and in spite of his suc-
cess. no one of thc’theatre has imi-
tated him. consciously ’ or uncon-
sciously. Hodge is in a. class by him-
self—he is inimitable. He has a pa-
tent on“his'brand of acting. which
although not'covered by a registered
trade-mark ‘or letters from the Unit-
ed States Patent Office, is just as
secure and lust as much of his own
private property as;if it were thus
protected. He defies. imitators- and.
he very nearly defies analysis. as far
as his methods are concerned. But
somehow the big theatre going pub~
llc seems/to understand him. far bet-
ter than many who have had long
experience in the theatre. and what
is more important the public loves
him. He has something-call it
"heart appeal" or a unique person-
ality if you'will—vthat wins for him
the respect and the affection of audi-
ences all over the land.

er.—she doesn't seem to see me in
that'ligbt. But i must get one
more thing'ofl my chest. I must find
out whether she really said ‘putty'
last night. or some other word of
similar sound."
So he rose to go away. then
paused. and in a tone he tried to
make casual. he said:
“What about the putty?"
Hs‘wss both amazed and alarmed
at the effect pf this speech.
Bunny turned white. and her
hands gripped the chair arms.
"How did you know?" she whis-
pered. staring at him as one might -
at a suddenly materialized ogre.
Now. Tod had a strong inclination
to my. "Oh. I know all about it.”
and thus probably iind out a lot.
But the girl looked so helpless and
pathetic. so shorn of all her bravado
and jaunty independence. that it
seemed to him unfair to deceive her.
Moreover, whatever the putty was
or meant. it was quite evidently an
important factor in the case, and he
had no right to wrest’the secret from
her. If she chose to tell him. well
and good. If not. he felt unwilling
to force her hand. .
"Do you know what I‘m going to
do. Bunny? I'm going to get a
tective. to come here and look into
"In..."
“All right." she responded. but
she spoke listiessly. as if she had all
at once lost interest in the whole
matter.
"You're willing?”
“Of course. Why not?“
“And. Bunny.—darling. won‘t you
smile acme—just ones? ‘At me. i
mean. me. Tod Buck?" ,
Bunny smiled involuntarily. more
at hip whimsical pleading than. in
response to his plea.
"That‘s better.“ he said. "I sup-

“Then you shu't go." said Todd!
Buck. helping himself a second time
to the souffle dessert. "You won't
mind being left alone? For 1 think
I ought to go. don't you. Aunt lurf"
“Yes. of course. Tod. As neigh.
bors, it is our duty. But it won't be
for long. You can look out the side
windows. Bunny. Keep behind the
net curtains and you can't be seen."
"You‘ve got the technique down
tine. Aunt Em,” observed her naph-
aw. "what you don’t know about
neighbor-watching isn't worth wor-
rying over."
His aunt ignored his imperilncnce.
and the subject was dropped.
"Old Steve Truitt is coming to-
night." Buck informed them. “I
telephoned him and he’s all for it.
Now. Bunny, while you're left alone
this afternoon. you think things .
over. like a good girl. and when
Truitt comes. you be prepared to
tell him everything. You needn't
tell us. if you don't want to. but '
Steve is a nice. comfy sort. and you
Just babble your heart out on his
breast. Will you?"
“Maybe." said Bunny, disinterest-
edly. it would seem. “What's he
like, Tod?"
"Pygmy as to size. but a big brain.
Good looking. in a way. but no
Adonis. Also, he’s engaged. so don‘t
expect to flirt with him."
"No,” said Bunny. so docilely.
that it was evident her thoughts
were elsewhere.
That afternoon,.later. she sat at
the side window. behind the net cur-
tains. as per Mrs. Prentiss' advice,
and watched the people arriving at
the house next door to pay their last
respects to the memory of Myra
Heath.
Bunny felt as one in a dream. Her
thoughts were chaotic. and in vain
she endeavored to range them in or-
derly array.
The excitement of the last few
days left her mind and brain in a
state of ferment. and she gave her-
self up new to watching the people.
without trying to unravel and dis-
entangle her own conclusions or in-
tentions.
But after a time, the people had
all arrived; nothing could be seen
through the curtained windows next
door. and Bunny knew that the ser-
vices hsd begun.
Then the tears came. Emotion at
the thought of beautiful Myra. dead.

bing grief, that while it racked poor
‘Bunny's body. seemed to clear her
mind. As she grew quieter. she
found she saw things more clearly.
She realised that of all the people in
the Heath home. it was only Myra
whom she loved, and whose terrible
she must help to avenge if by
any possibility she could help.
She forced herself to go over the
events of that terrible night. ,She
