One of the most beautiful of all acts showing in vaudeville is Mons Birds, the headliner at the Lyceum. These little feathered actors and ac- tresses are really remarkable in their work and the “feathered revue” they present is one of the most novel pieces of entertainment obtainable. On the same bill are three other good acts, Harry Latoy is a juggler de luxe who tosses everything about with abandon, | bul manages to catch them again, Pep, with a dash of comedy, is added by Arthur and Lydia Davis in their dialogue sketch, and the Denton Brothers are whirling deverishes of the ladders. hatic act in which they perform on| revolving ladders. Rounding out the program is Charles (Buck) Jones in “Cupid’s Fireman,” a thrilling city story depicting the bravery and dar- ing of a young member of the fire de- partment. This picture is replete| with thrills and has some sensational scenes. “Judgment of the Storm,” a plcture written by a Pittsburgh woman with no previous experience in scenario writing, is the big feature that has been booked for four days, starting Sunday night, For Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day, in addition to “Judgment of the Storm,” will be the latest eplsode of “Fighting Blood."” On Thursday another William Fox | special will be introduced, starring Buck Jpnes in “Hell's Kitchen,” a dynamic and thrilling tale of the west | as it was a few short years ago. GOOD BILL AT CAPITOL The Capitol, tonight and Saturday is offering a bill of entertainment that was well received by the large audiences yesterday, The Keith vau- deville has five very good acts fea- turing as the headliner “The Dance Carnival of 1024, a pretentious of- fering with Charles Root, Edith Mai, and the Root Steppers, The act com- prises four boys and a girl who have danced their way into popularity on the Kelth circuit by their wonderful stepping and nimbleness of feet, “The Musi-Misses were also well liked with their mbsic and dances, the work of Alice Isabella being a revelation in dancing, The Four Pals are a very| Tonight and Saturday ihfin& From Others “HOYT’S REVUE” L l"I llll!

HOYT'S REVUE AT PALACE Again presenting a fine bill, Hogt's Revue opened in their new show yes- terday to big houses who were de- lightd with the comedy, songs and atthe funfy antics of Lew Willlams and Billy Hall, the comedians. The |blll is bright and witty throughout and some excellent song numbers are displayed with the principals working very good toegther. One of the funni-| Nl and quaintest novelties with this !show is the silhouette scene which is | very well done and rather mystifying | at times. Tonight amateur night, will | be given for local amateurs and quite |a few local thesplans are scheduled |to appear. The Hoyt show will ap- pear tonight and three times on Sat- urday, there being continuous per- formances Saturday.

In “Zander the Great”, which open- | | i | | | | led a three day engagement at Par- | sons’ theateér, Hartford, last nl'ht,l Alice Brady has selected an interest- | ing story wkich is peculiarly suited | to her fascinating personality. A comedy, with enough tears and heart throbs sprinkled through it to make it appeal, “Zander the Great” | is deserving of better suppert than it received at its first showing in Hart- | ford. What the audience lacked in nrumbers was compensated for by ap- ! preclation of the really fine acting oH all the characters. “Zander” is a little boy who has | {been left without a mother in a small | New Jersey town. Miss Brady, as “Mamie Adams,” thwarts the select- men who have determjned to send him to an orphan asylum, kldnaps‘ Lim in a broken down automobile, | and starts for Arizona to find his/| father who, she has learned, is living in the far west. Their experiences on | a ranch form the basis of the plot. Miss Brady made a charming i"Mdmle Adams,” a self-reliant girl who has managed to win her own way in the world with a large supply |of sclf-confidence and optimism, and | | nothing much more. Vietor Suther- |land s splendid as “Dan Murchison”, hoss of the ranch where “Mamie” and | * ‘Zander” end their long trip. Charles Bickford gives a fine portrayal of “Texas,” a typical cow puncher, The lighter strokes in the picture |are supplied by Joseph Alien as| “Good News,” the ranch cook; Wil- liam Wadsworth as “Jackson Pepper”, and Raymond Van Sickle as “Elmer Lovejoy." Little James Dunn, as * ‘Zander”, |stamps himself as one of the clever- | est ‘child actors on the stage by his characterization of the waif. With all the simplicity of childhood, reaches right out over the footlights and twines himself around the hearts | of the-audience. | Others in the cast are Joseph Baird, Willilam Leith, James S.' Bar- | rett and Dan Moyles, who give a splendid account of themselves in roles which do not allow them op- | 1ponun(ty to show thdr full ability. RUSSELL MFG. 0. ~ LOSES IN FIRE ‘About $100,000 Damage to Mid- ’ dletown Concern . | | Middletown, Feb, 1.—Fire of known origin last night caused dam- lage of approximately $100,000 to the {web drying department of the Russell |Manufacturing company of South! Farms, The blaze started in a wooden tower in the center of the one story cement bullding used for drying belts and brake linings, quickly consyming the woeden structure and spreading to either side. Several hundred rolls of brake lining and a quantity of shel- lac and chemicals were destroyed. A un« i United he | PRIEST WRITESON ITALIAN LEAI]ERS Father Sullivan Author of Article on Papini and Mussolini issue of the “Con-! | neeticut Magazine,” issued today, is nn interesting article on Papini and | Mussolini by Rev. J. Leo Sullivan, curate at St, Joseph's church. The artiile follows: Two of the outstanding characters in the world of Politics and l.etters today are Mussolini and Papini. Symbolical indeed are these super, men of the position Italy is taking in the front ranks of the Great N |tions. Ttaly today shares with the States, ¥England and France, | the proud pesition of one of the lead- ing nations in the theater of world | affalrs. | No longer os she a second rate! power; since the war, under the guid-| jance of Mussolini she has slowly Imh surely forged to the front. There ig no statemanship in 1nz- {land or France today: no political | | Cologsus since Lloyd George and | Clemenceau stepped from the stage | of pelitical affairs. Mussolini, alone like a Napoleon or a Roosevelt, struts across the arena | of world affairs, as he guides the| | destinies of Italy's ship-of-state, we | instinctively feel that a great captain is at the helm. The reason I chose these two world renowned characters, as a subject for this article, is because I | believe that they are the personifica- | tion of a great movement of the Ital- ian people back to that church which has furnished the ideals and kept | alive the inspiration for Ttaly’s high | ranks in the domain of the arts and sciences and literature. It is quite true, that for some )cufll\ past, modern Italy, has been more or Iless indifferent to the great and an- | t church in her midst. In many | ses we find an open hostility as this |anti-Christian and that anti-Christian Ibloc grasp the reins of government, |Since the unification of Italy in the | seventies, church and state have been | on anything but friendly terms.
