i II III '!f.fu i r-" s_ Unless utherwise indicated, theptrica)l notices and reviews in this column are wrilten by the press agencies for L) J. C. MORTON: AT CAPITOL. The headline attraction at ‘apitol starting today for the first half of this week presents J. C. Mor- ton assisted by *Mamnie, Edna and ! \ifred Morgan in *“The Battles of t¥24." Mr. Morgan recently dis- sulved a noted theatrical partnership of ‘long standing and now with the assistance of his family he is seen in a comedy, travesty of his own. lorton and Moore was a very popu ar musical comedy and vaudeville ‘am, and Mr. Morton, however, is| the kind of comedian. who gives a' good account of himself in any com- pany under any condition. One and one have always made two but the unity of two vaudeville “singles” often more than doubles the quality | of fun. 'This is the case with Inglis and Winchester. Both Jack and Gene Winchester were considered very funny fellows when they went it alone, but nmow that they are to- sether their amusement value has not only doubled, it - has trippled. They both offer a skit ealled, “The Man of the Hour,” and like all skits it has plenty of song and patter. Barry and. Rollo are two clever zirlies who are real entertajning at the plano with their very fine songs; PPoxworth and Francis are a pair of | colored singers and dancers who liven things up while they hold the stage, The Wheecler Trio are the season’s sensation r\llh their fine acrobatic offering. This act, years ago, began its career playing circus in a backyard and after many bumps and falls developed into one of the best acrobatic acts of present day vaudeville, The photoplay feature with this bill is an excellent one and presents Anna Q. Nilsson and Miiton Sills in “Flowing Gold.” The story is from the pen of Rex Beach which is énough proof that the plcture is a fina one. “BLACK' OXEN" AT PALACE Ever since Gertrude Atherton's novel, “Black Oxen,” established it- seIf as the most popular volume of fletion of 1923, there has Dheen con- siderable wonderment and discussion as to how the book might be visual- ized, Yesterday when Frank “Black' Oxen,” ture, was screened for the first time locally, the curious learned how much | a good story might be enhanced in its pleturization and what LYCEUM Now Playing B8.P.Schulberg a GASNIER Presents production the Lioyd's The Forbidden Story of Monte Carlo With & Preferred Cant KENNETH HARLAN CLARA BOW RAYMOND GRIFFITH CARMEL MYERS l-.mh‘d‘-v Young PALACE THEATER Hariford MATINEE r\ NING %:15 POLI PLAYERS THE BEST STOCK COMPANY IN AMERICA Arthur Howard and Miss inifred St Claire Direction of A.
