One of the most thrilling moments of the picture is when the heroine is bound to the tracks of the New York elevated by the villain who by her death would inherit a fortune. Her escape is breath taking. Another spectacular scene is at the brilliant fashion show and the great fire that ends it, while the fight between the hero and villain is an exciting one. Others in the cast include dashing, winsome Mae Busch, Edmund Lowe, Jack Carroll, Raymond Griffith, Ho- bart Bosworth, and Lilyan Tashman, late of the Iollies. This picture ' continues Wednesday, while Thursday starts ofi with a double fcature bill—"Yester- day's Wife'” and “The Fighting Sap.” of The last named stars, Fred Thompson | and his famous horse. GREAT BILL AT CAPITOL The Capitol has a great bill of Keith vaudeville now playing for the first half of the week with five acts that all afford very fine entertainment, Topping the bill is Nat Nazarro with Buck and Bubbles in a variety of varieties, Mr, Nazarro opens his act with the announcement that a certain lady in the audience has lost a pocket book with a sum of money inside and announces a reward for the finder. Immediately down the aisle two pickaninies to claim the reward which also lands them on the stage for the big hit of the show. Buck and Bubbles, as they are called, then offer a series of songs, dances and piano playing that brouyht down the house with applause. One of the pickaninies is an expert piano player and the other an exceptional clever dancer, Thelr comedy throughout is also very entertaining. The Four Lazy Daisies are a quar- tet of dancers, two women, and two men who have an excellent routine of dancing that made them one of the hits of the bill. Ensemble, solo #nd double dances are offered which include a bit of every known kind.

The photoplay feature presents Madge Kennedy in “The Purple High- way,” a romantic drama with a very interesting plot. | GENTRY BROS CIRCUS. The circus clown—the time honor- {ed entertainer under canvas—is an individual whose work and effort rarely receive the appreciation due. To many circus patrons, the clown is simply a clown and by no method { of calculation can his value to the | circus be computed on a dollar and cents basis. The work of the circus clown has to shift with the constant- ly shifting demands of the business, but he is still identified with the face of white with points of vermilion and black, his weird raiment and an- tics made up of the grotesque and { awkward. Gentry Bros.-Jas. Patterson Curcus will exhibit in this city on Wednes- day, July 30, and with the regular performance will present a small army of clowns that, as an aggrega- tion, over-step the limits recognized by any other circus. Clowning was at one time regarded as a business of foolishness, but, today, their work is cut out for them and is governed by requirements, just as exacting as a dramatic star. Clowning is no longer an impromptu business, It is de- signed after specific requirements and staged with an exactnees and finesse that only receives its true apprecia- tion from those who have had ex- perience in the circus or other branches of the show business. Many Boats Aground as Ohio River Drops 10 Feet Cincinnati, July 22.—At least five | river steamers are aground and in- numerable house boats are stranded as the result of an unprecedented drop to ten feet in the Ohio river within the last 24 hours. The drop was caused by the sudden ralsing of | wicketts in the dams above Cincinnati. It is expected that the situation will be righted within five hours as the dam at IFernbank, below Cincinnati is being raised. The infolw of water will again float the grounded and stranded river eraft, and restore the Ohio river to its usual depth around Cincinnati. | T e T T CAPITOLj TONIGHT & WEDNESDAY KEITH VAUDEVILLE Featuring Nat Nazzrro With BUCK AND BUBBLES ground.” BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Wednesday Afterno TUESDAY, JULY 192 D9 - White Cotton Mattresses IN A GOOD ART TICK, ONE PART, FULL SIZE WITH A ROLL EDGE, IS A REAL BARGAIN, CONNECTICUT'S BEST FURNITURE STORE HEHLHSLL88L5850080. 3 VOICES IN THE AIR } PIVVIVIVVIPVIIVIIVIIVINEY Tuesday, July 22, WHN State Theater Bldg.—New York City.)

Shelley Post, a newcomer to the Poll aggregation, was quite winsome and effective as Mrs. Jack Stanley, one of the newlyweds. &he promises always to keep secret what her thusband (Frank McHugh) tells her but be- cause of her inability to do so the ship is thrown into continual states of confusion that prove anything but pleasant for the husband. Arthur Howard pertrays the diffi- cult role of a drunkard who goes aboard boat into a stateroom re- served for his cousins, who finally decided not to go aboard, and when he awakes in the morning finds a sweet, demure young woman sharing the room with him. She is none other than Miss Winifred St. Claire who is as much surprised to find Howard in her room as he was to find her. To tell how they com- promise would spoil the story for those intending to see it. Both do well in their respective parts and are deserving of credit, Idmund Abbey, Joseph Wagstaff and Catherine Curry all carry their parts well.
