Unless otherwise noted, these notices are written by the presés or attractions with which they deal. bureaus of the _theater ‘FALL FESTIVAL WEEK”; SIX KEITH ACTS AT PALACE. Next week at the Palace is “Fall Festival Week” and an excellent show is scheduled for the entire week. Six acis of Keith vaudeville will be offer- er on each half of the week. For Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday the bill will feature The Four Entertainers, considered among the very best and late stars of the Broadway success, “Listen Lester”;Lisette & Rooney offer an excellent novelty offering; Lyle & Virginia offer a variety number that is bound to please; Fid Gordon, one of tlie best violinists in vaudeville' is a suaranteed hit wherever he plays; De Lea & Orma call their offering “Six feet of comedy,” and it is all that thy name implies;; while an ex- céllent bill is finished with the Five Chapins in an excellent musical and singing offering. The feature photo- play attraction for the first half of the week presents Mildred Harris in the tremendous dramatic hit, “Habit.” So popular in theme gfd so full of drama is “Habit” that it is head and shoulder | above the ordinary screen drama. It fairly snaps and sparkles with clever lines and tense situations. One of the big scenes depicts a train. collision that is the most realistic ever seen in any photoplay. The prices are not advanced for this show that the man- agement guarantees will be the best this season, and should set the whole town talking. SUNDAY AT THE PALACE. The Sunday bill at the Palace will feature two excellent photoplays with Hva Novack in *“The Wolves of the North,” a stirring drama of the frozen North. * Gladys Walton will be seen in “The Man Tamer,” a story of wom- #n's wit. A new:episode of the “Sky Ranger” and other short subjects are included on the bill. NO SHOW AT FOX’S SUNDAY. Thera will be no motion picture show at Fox's theater on Sunday eve- ning of this week, owing to the con- cert given both afternoon and- eve- ning by the U. S. Marine band.

NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER is for the benefit of the local soldiers’ cessfully played for the past sixteen weeks at the Lyceum theater, offer an entire new show which is better than any previous one. “Irish Justice'’ as the name of the show gives it an at- mosphere that can hardly be beat. It is a hundred per cent. better than they have ever thua presented here in thia eity. A big double feature program and an augmented orchestra for Sun- day evening making it another big success. Cranherries Are in! Use Them. funeral fund and the management at Fox's heartily recommends both the cause and the program to its big list of patrons. TONIGHT LAST CHANCE TO SEE FOX'S PROGRAM. Tonight is the last chance local theatergoers will have to see “The Musical Five,” the great musical act now playing at Fox’s. The two girls and three men in this act are wonders on the saxophoue, the xylophone, trombone and other instruments and their act is by far the best seen in New Britain this season. The Chinese Quartet is hardly less sterling in cali- bre and these singers put across a great number. The other. two acts of singing, dancing and humor are equally good. The feature picture, “The Whistle,”” featuring William S. Hart, is a typical Hart production and needs no.recom- mendation for Hart’s followers among the movie fans are legion, and this city is no exception. THOMAS MEIGHAN, FOX’S AND AT REDUCED PRICES. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week brings to ¥ox’'s one of the brightest stars in filmdom — Thomas Meighan. His latest starring vehicle “The City of Silent Men"” will be shown in conjunction with an aug- mented vaudeville bIl. This vaude- ville program will be especially elab- orate in celebration of the iheater’s return to pre-war prices, effective Monday. “The City of Silent Men” has a plot far different from most of ‘ho present day motion picture dramas. It is sne of the strongest blows ever directed at conviction in a court’of law on purely circumstantial evidence. Meigh- an plays the role of a young man who has been made the foil of crooks and is sent tc prison for a crime which he did not commit. The court room scene is especially compelling, and sinister also, is the manner in which the detec- tive followa the former prisoner when he ia liberated and goes west to begin llife over. Prison conditions ara ex- actly reproduced and in contrast to the dull, drab life behind the bars, is the bright; lively love story which is woven into the play. Betty Compson in ““At The End of the World” will be shown the last of the week. “IRISH JUSTICE” AND “POLLY WITH A PAST” AT LYCEUM. Fresh from her triumphs on the stage in the David Belasco production of “Polly With a Past” comes the dainty Ina Claire in this picturization of George Middleton’s and Guy Bol- ton's delightful comedy drama. The role of Polly Shannon, demure daugh- ter of a clergyman, who for a lark transforms herself into a ravishing French vampire, ia regarded by many critlcs a8 the best Miss Claire has ever done: -The story opens in the sleepy town of East Gilead, Ohio, where Polly secretly .cherishes an ambition to be a grand opera ‘star. One night she slips away to gay New York, en route to Paris, as she firmly belicves, to cultivate her voice. But she goes broke and is obliged to accept tem- porary employment as housemaid with two young bachelors. They have a friend, Rex Van Zile, who is engaged to a young society woman ) with a passion for saving souls. She appears to have tired of Rex because his exemplary habits place him quite beyond the necessit: of “saving.” Taking pity, hic two chums persuade Polly to flirt with him. They provide her with a dazzling ar- ray of gowns and a French poodle. She “herselt supplies the French ac- cent and posing as a French adver- turess she proceeds to enmesh Rex by her wiles. As part of her role she acknowledges a “past” that would put the most case-hardened vampire to blush. But Polly gets on famovsly: so famously -that the soul saving flancee of Rex becomes panic stricken. From this point on the fun waxes fast and furious and winds up jn a veriable whirlwind of merriment. The Hoyt's Revue which has suc- LYCEU 'MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY . HOYT’S REVUE ..
