The Lycéum theater has secured for showing for the remainder of the week one of the late Rudolph Valen- 1ino's greatest successes in which the heik is said to appear in the full vower of the peculiar appeal that riade him the outstanding star of his t.me. Mae Murray is the c “The Delicious Little De Vhlentino the featured lead. In this picture Valentino plays in ' a brilliant soclety drama in which tiie love complications brought about by an attractive and flirtatious young woman who keeps many men guessing are interesting and laugh- able in the extreme. The companion attraction which the Lyceum is offering is “Without Mercy,” starring Vera Reynolds, Dorothy Phillips and Rockliffe Fellowes. This drama has all the | A . each one is individually worthy of | tendercness of a great love, all the fury of a great and awful hate, a woman’s emotions portrayed Wwith the power and passion of under- standing. ‘The House Without a Key" serial also is being shown. REVUE AT PALACE Lew Williams and his “Chic-Chic Revue” present an entirely new pro- gram at the Palace for the last half of the week starting today. Every- thing in the line of song and dance, comedy, scenery and costumes is new. The feature picture for this pro- gram is “The Desert’s Toll,” an epic of the American desert. “The Desert’s Toll is the second starring vehicle of Francis McDonald, and it gives to lovers of this type of film thrills galore and a story well worth while very ably interpreted. MacDonald is a superb horseman, and his tricks are not those hack- neyed ones used by other screen west- erners, He is apparently very original in the matter of stunts. He sits on a pony like a Cossack, and seems ut- terly fearless as witnessed by the many rides‘over what appears to be impassable and impossible trails. Kathleen Key plays opposite Mc- Donald in this stirring tale of the western desert. As an added attraction for tonight, Lew Williams will announce for the amateurs. BOSTON SYMPHONY A feature of th: inte esting pro- gram selected for the coming con- cent of the Boston Symphony or- chestra at the ford, on February 6th at 3 o'clock will be Wagner's “Lohengrin.” Liszt described the Prelude as sort of magic formula, which like a mysterious initiation, prepares our souls for the sight of unaccustomed | things, and of a higher signif than that of our terrestial life” It is Wagner's first music of the Holy Grail. The Prelude ends as it began. in the “clear blue of heaven, and the presence of the angelic hosts.” Public opinion prevails that Mr. Koussevitzky's brilllant and sym thetic interpretations serve the mus to full measure.

GREAT PROGRAM AT CAPITOL The Capitol opened the last half of the week’s program today with one of the finest double feature bills | | this popular house has vet offered. | “Her Big Night” and *“Across “the Pacific” are the big attractions and | playing alone on my program. | Laura LaPlante, vivacious and | charming as ever heads an all star |cast in “Her Big Night,” a dclight- |ful comedy of mistaken identiti and she also will be well liked for | |her dual role, which is considered |the greatest that the screen has yet given. The story smacks with comedy, romance, and excitement, made so by Miss LaPlante’s role of a depart- ment store girl who doubled for a great movie actress at a personal appearance in a theater. It is here that she plays the dual role that gets her into all kinds of predica- ments, | The companion a stirring romantic melodrama, “Across the Pacific” and has the Spanish-American war as a back- ground for a fine story. Monte Blue and a cast of favorites will be 'scen in the leading roles. Beginning Sunday night for a run of four days, the Capitol will offer the big special “Private Tzzy Murphy” with George Jessel, P Ruth Miller, Vera Gordon, and Nat Carr in the cast. It has all the thrills of “The Big Parade,” all the eart appeal of “Humoresque”, and all the comedy of “Cohens and Kellys” combined, which should surely make it an ideal entertain ment, feature offers | AT THE RIALTO | An unusually attract contest |of bathing beauties heads the | double feature program of motion | pictures which are being shown at 1e Rialto theater for the last times this evening.

Leonard replied that he would rot be present. . | Both Players Appear. “Cobb and Speaker appeared on 27 November 27 and were informed of | Leonard's attitude, whereupon they | canvassed the whole situation with the commissioner and reached the | conclusion that they would rather | | quit baseball than have a hearing | with their accuser absent. Their | reasoning was: The mere announce- | { ment of charges of this character, | whatever the personality or motives | | of the accuser, or the scarcity or | even absence of evidence supporting | the charges, would be harmful to the accused persons, experience hav- | |ing shown that a vindication by | | baseball authority, based upon a | | manifest insufficiency or, even a to- | | tal failure of supporting proof, has | been labeled a ‘white-wash.” While they insisted they had no doubt of their ability to answer the charges, | they were concerned about the pos- sible effect upon - themselves and others in whom they were deeply | interested. They appeared to be | particularly disturbed respecting the situation of Joe Wood. | Reasons For Retirement, | | “These considerations, as Cobb and Speaker represented the matter to me, brought about their desire to quit baseball, despite their appre- ciation of the fact that such action might be misconstrued. “Inasmuch, therefore, as Leon- | ard’s statement could neither be in- duced nor enforced, the commis-- sioner consented that the hearing be put over indefinitely, and it was | understood that would be the end of the matter, unless | conditions | thercafter should so change as to require a different course. It was pointed out at the time that a num- ber of people knew or had heard of the Leonard charges and of * e | Cobb and Wood letters and the like- | lihood of suspicion and rumor re-| sulting from the retirement in these | circumstances of two players of such prominence was fully discussed | And it was definitely understood that the interests of all concerned might thereafter require a public statement setting forth the charges | and answers. Directors Were Informed. “The American League directors ere informed of the status of af- fairs and that Cobb and Speaker de- ed to leave baseball for the rea- sons stated. Accordingly, the De- troit and Cleveland clubs granted releases and the American League directors rescinded their resolutions ca for a hearing, with the same understanding that this ended the | matter unless subsequent develop- | ments should necessitate a hearing and publication. | “Shortly thereafter gossip and ru- mor got bu: As 5 usually trans- pires when these two kinaly, sympa- thetic agencies are at work, th left in their wake a variety of pro- geny infinitely more harmful to the individuals concerned than the truth could possibly be.

LANDIS, “Commissioner.” Speaker Pleased, Cleveland, Jan., 27 (P—Tris| Speaker, in a briet statement to the | Associated Press today, said he was | very well pleased with the decision | of Commissioner Landis clearing him of the ‘“Dutch” Leonard charges and declared he expects to | be in harness next season to prove | to the baseball world “that he is the | Tris Speaker of old.” . Speaker, however, said that his | plans are indefinite and that he has n0 idea which team he may be play- | ing with next season. Any likelihood that Speaker would | return to his old position in the | Cleveland Indians' centerfield, but | minus the role of manager, was vir- tually dispelled in a statement is- sued by E. S. Barnard, president | of the Cleveland club. Barnard said that he and eve; one who knows Speaker were jub; lant over Lahdis’ decision, that the | Cleveland club never wanted him to resign as manager and that his old job would be waiting for him had he not retired. “It would be unfair and unwise to ask Speaker to play centerfield the Indians,” Barnard -aid, “but we wish him well and know that he will be well placed.” | Navin Also Happy. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 27 (A—"T am | very happy,” Frank Navin, acting president of the American League | and owner of the Detroit Tigers | baseball club, said today when he learned through the Associated Press that Ty Cobb and*Tris Speaker i had been cleared of charges involv- ing a “fixed" game by Judge K. M. Landis. “It was an unfortunate affair. I always said to anyone who asked me . that I though Cobb an honest ball player, who always did his best to win. I held the same about SD(‘ak-I er, though, of course, T didn't know him so well as I did Cobb. “I had rather expected and always hoped for the acquittal. If the de- ion so reads, we wlil take Cobb k on our reserve list.” Navin declined to say whether he would want to have Cobb in the field with the Tigers again or would want Speaker on the team, pending decision with George Moriarty, Tiger manager. “That's Moriarty's business,” he said. ba, Says School Physicians Hurt Business Locally Charges that the school physicians discriminate against local optome- trists were made last evening by F E. Goodwin of this city at a meet- ing of the Hartford County Optome- trical association, No action was taken. President H. F. Redell of this city -esided. The meeting was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, | with about 25 members present. Scott Sterling of Rochester, N.

Pro- poses Method of Stamping Out Salacious Papers. Washington, Jan. 27 (UP) — To prevent publication by magazines of salacious testimony offered at the Browning separation trial, Rep. Wil- son, democrat, of Mississippi, has introduced a bill creating a federal | magazine censorship board. | Wilson offered his bill because of | testimony published in newspapers. | He fears that nuch of it, withheld | now, might find its way later into “art” and “snappy” magazines. “I regret,” said Wilson, “that some of the newspapers have gone as far as they did in ~overing the trial but of course we cannot attempt to cen- sor the press gemerally. We must protect the adolescents, and T feel certain that unless w> set up some sore of curb we will find much of this objectionable and filthy testi- mony in art magazines.” Wilson Intends to speak in the | house in a tew days and to produce more than 35 magazines which he claims are publishing objectionable articles and pictures. He will also pay his respects to “small pictorial newspapers” which he said punli hed many phases of the famous New York case which could have been eliminated. | Under Wilson's bill, the board would be composed of five memhers appointed by the president, clothed with authority to censor all maga- zines, including imported, offered for sale.
