NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1924, mouu.uu,nunuas»assu«utu“uummuuuuum Ll x R T T R K R e T “FOR PITY SAKE” AT CAPITOL Tonight is the last showing of the vaudeville bill and the photoplay “Reno” at the Capitol where they have delighted many patrons since Monday. Temorrow for the last half | of the week the Capitol will present the biggest act in vaudeville today For Pity Sake,” with nine artists in four big scenes. It is refreshing to meet something new in humor, something so frantic- ally funny that it makes the audience almost helptess with laughter. There is @othing novel, of course, in the mere idea of burlesque, It is the characterization—or, rather, the study of one character—which gives this lit- tte show its supremely comic appeal. The idea is that a company of fifth- rate actors are performing a mr‘l(-- drama in the theatre of a on town, The “star” is not @ found in the company itself, but in the quaint figure of the manager of the | theater, Cyrus Seroggins. Scroggins is the greatest one-man show that ever was, He is not only the manager of the theater; he is the ntire orchestra, playing eiverything from the fiddle to the big drum, ind tuning the fiddle from a note on he drum: he works ail the realistic «ffects from his little loft above the stage, makes thunder roar, turns on the rainstorm (from a watering can), nd shakes down the snow when the troubles of the heroine are at their worst: he shifts the stage “props,” and winds the eurtain up and down. In addition there will be four other hig acts and the photoplay feature will offer Colleen Moore in “Through PA\LACE - L Tonight JACKIE COOGAN DAYS ONLY THURS, and FRI ith AGNES AVRES ot JACK HOLT e 4 LA MARRAGE MAKER® STARTING SATURDAY FOR 5 DAYS HAROLD LLOYD - - “GIRL SHY" 8 REELS OF SCREAMS ||l Iny IIlEIlI § |m|lll|!

THE Buick Motor Company is now well on its way to the manufacture of its two-millionth motor car-—a record unapproached by any other manufacturer of fine automobiles. BUI(‘K has held first choice of space at the National Automobile shows for six consecutive years—an honor awarded to the manufacturer member of the N. A. C with the largest volume of business. ERERRR D‘) vou realize that Buick and practically all other fine car makers in America and Europe include four- wheel brakes as standard equipment? [BREE R T’\DAY four-wheel brakes are as essential to safety as lights and a horn. B & AF'TF]R using four-wheel brakes you will never go back to a car without them. WHY does Buick use four-wheel brakes on all models? Because they provide the greatest safety for the owner and his family.
