NEW BRITAIN DAYLY HERALD, SATURDAY JANUARY 8, 1925, NEWS OF INTEREST ABOUT THE SPOKEN STAGE, SILENT DRAMA AND MUSIC POLA NEGRI IN ~ STAGE AND SCREEN CHECKER: GIRLS LATEST VEHICEE Capitol, Also, t0 Peature Vaude- _yille for Patrons Lea by Hester Batley qid Co., a Keith vaudeville headliner, the bill at the Capitol for the first three tentalnment everyone, Hester Balley and Co.,, are a quintatte of clever players banded together for the purpose of making the old popular revue more popular. Thelr efforts in this @irec- tiom have been a departure from the stereotyped, inasmuch as daintiness and good taste are the keynote of their presentation. In fact the little révue has become known as “vaude- ville's daintiest offering.” Dressed in the clothes of yester- day, Eugene Emmett, who is often referred to as “America’s sweetest ginger,”_is heard in a family revue. Mr. Emmett's voice is unusual, there i8 pathos, humor and sentiment in it and he is capable of producing as many mpods as a violin, His com- pany consists of two people, & vor calist and an accompanist, Leddy and Leddy offer “Nonsensi- cal Nonsense,” and they go as far as possible to provide songs, patter and dance. They are two men, two comedians of proven worth, who work along original lines. Agdams and Wolfe are variety entertainers with a routine that proves very ver- satile, and Q'Connor and Wilson of- fer a song and dance offering that shows many new steps. The feature photoplay presents Pola Negri In her best picture “For- bidden Paradise,” directed by Ernst Lubitsch, with a cast' of capable support and the best story that this star has offered to the cen in her career, For Sunday night two features will be presented, one offering Bob | Custer in “Trigger Fingers,” and the other presenting charming Katherine MaceDonald in “Chastity."” There will be continuous daily. SCIENCE CONVENTION IS GONCLUDED TODAY 4200 shows Attendance Registration of Shows it to Have Been Largest Meeting of Scientists. Washington, January 3.—Meeting for their concluding sessions today, delegates attending the convention of the American association for the ad- vancement of science wewe assessing the .progress reported in various fiekds of science as marking® the gathering as one of the most signi- ficant in the organization's history. An attendance registration of members shows it to have been the largest ‘meeting of scientists ever held in this country and probably in the world, Outstanding among progress reported are tho: with the knowledge of the cifects of light on living things; of tempera- tures and atmosphere conditions of | | above statement. o | Hall, the planets; and the cifect of some forms of clectricity and of light upon the determination sex and the char- | ter of offspring.

The association has gone on record | 4200 | the lines of | dealing | The tab season secms to be in full bloom at the two local theaters not devoted entirely to vaudeville and plctures, . This week ends a week's run of Marty Dupree and her musical comedy show at the Palace and Monday starts a week's showing of Harry Ingalls and his Checker Girls' revue at the Lyceum. This is the third consecutive year that Ingalls has brought his troup to this city and he promises the me refined entertainment that it always has proved. Ingalls himself 1s no.stranger to New Britain. More than 10 years ago, when Charlie Chaplin was first |, coming iato prominence, Ingalls, then- a young vaudeville performer, appeared at the old Keeney theater in a skit in which he impersonated Chaplin and his wife took a bur- lesque part. One of thelr advertising features was for Harry to walk down Main street with his trick cane, mustache and queer feot. t t Clark Morrell, one of the Xeith vaudeville circuit’s best bets, is at the Capitol next week. He is a prominent young tenor and has studied under the Ill\l\au master Bellinclonni, t Despite his wide experience, Mor- | ! rell is still a young man and it's no secret girls, to mention the fact that he's but 26 years of age. The Capitol also plans to offer another very big attraction in “Canary Opera.” This is a mpsical troup, the members of which all are attractlve and, better still, have good voices. As a mafter of fact, they all are genuine canary birds and this act is one of the wonders of the result of patience in bird lru(ning t Palace four days beginning Sunday will offer Emmerson Hough's | “North of 36, the companion -pic- ture to “The Covered Wagon” and one of the greatest plctures of the year. The Palace is the first theater ! in New England to show this fea- turd with vaudeville as it has played ! only the high priced photoplay theé- | aters. Four vaudeville acts will be offered with it at the regular Pal- ace prices. s o i For Thursday, Friday and Satur- day the Palace will present “Bar-|h riers Burned Away,” a story that !
