See him do ‘Tailor Made Man’ Is Fea- ture and ‘Lone Defend- er’ Added Attraction “A Tailor Made Man,” starring William Haines, will be the feature ay the Capitol theatre tonight. Chapter 3 of the serial, “The Lone Defender,” with Rin Tin Tin in the leading role, will be an added attraction. If you can picture Haines as a wolf in sheep’s clothing you will thave some idea of the fun factors in “A Tailor Made Man." Poverty to Wealth In this characterization Haines embodies the spirit of the man who rises from poverty and obscurity to fame and financial success. He starts out as an innocent little pants presser but ends up as a wolf in the commercial world. The picture is based on the play of the same name whicn enjoyed a long run at the Cohan and Har- ris Theatre, New York, in 1917. Supporting Cast Dorothy Jordan has the leading feminine role. Joseph Cawthorn, Marjorie Rambeau, William Austin, Tan Keith and Hedda Hopper have prominent parts. “The Lone Defender” is all talk- ing. Rinty offers some strange new barks and howls that he has pre- pared as being especially in keep- ing with his character in the story. = CHAMBER HOST i 70 FIREMEN AT NOON LUNGHEON Department Is Honored— Chamber Also Pays Tri- bute to B.

Department Organization Told Harry Sperling, honorary m- ber and for a long time active member of the Department, at the request of Chief Gray gave a bricf resume of its organization and something of its activities. It is composed of 30 members, com- prising two companics, each under an elected foreman, a chief, assist- ant chief and two paid truck drivere. It has two American La France pumper trucks, a high pres- sure hydrant system, close work- |ing arrangements with the tele- phone company supplementing its electric fire alarm system which |covers the town completely, and iadequau: auxiliary equipment, in- |cluding hose, chemicals, gas masks, |an inhilator, etc. Six months residence is required for membership which is attained by popular vote of two-thirds of the members. of standing applications.
