[ Unless otherwise indicated, theatrical written by the press agencles for the SSASARASAN NSRS S AN UDEVILLE AT THE RIALTO Five acts of professional tryout vaudeville heads a double feature program of motion pictures at the Rialto theater this evening. As in previous entertainment of this sort the management of this playhouse hag selected only the finest acts of- fered and the result should be pleas- ing to draw a mild term. The two feature attractions which will close thelr engagement on the same bill are “Fools of Fashion,” a charming story of modern wives and their foibles which co-stars Mae Busch and Theodore von Eltz, and “Cy- cloie Bob” a gripping western drama crammed with thrills. Other features will make up the remain- der of the bill. The two features which will open a two days run here starting tomorrow are “The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse” which is enjoying a nation wide return showing, and “A Dog’s Life” one of Charlle Chaplin’s early successes. The first mentioned feature needs no introduction to motion picture fans. It was one of the first pic- tures dealing with theYate war that scored a phenomenal hit. TIts pres- ent popularity proves that their are millions throughout the country who can enjoy a second showing and bet- ter praise than this would bé*hard to conjure. Rudolph Valentino, Alice Terry, Allan Hale and Wallace Peery have important roles to por- tray in this gigantic picture whose fame seems deathless. “A Dog's Life,” affords more than the usual amount of laughs and admirers of Chaplin are afforded another oppor- tunity to see him of the floppy pants and battered shoes in a story that has appealed to the risibilities of almost every civilized country on the face of the globe. Shorter subjects complete the program. STATE THEATER — WARTFORD There has never been entertain- ! ment offered to the public, whether that entertainment be pictures, stage or legitimate presentation, that has met with such universal approval as is meeting “Don Jaun,” showing at the State Theatre Main and Morgan streets; Hartford, the remainder of this week, the en- gagoment terminating Saturday night John Barrymore in the title and lead- ing role has gained so many admir- ers that ho is now the most popular star that ever appearcd on the screen. The difficult role, which could not be essayed by an other liv- ing artist, is enacted by Barrymore with fiery emotion that stamps him indelibly as “the greatestlover of all age The most thrilling scene in “Don Jaun” is where Don Jaun rush- amongest. the wedding guests— and makes his most daring, most Dbreath-taking conquest “Don Juan” is being shown daily at 1 o'clock, 4.01 o'clock, 6.41 aclock and 9.17 o'clock. Another very enjoyable part of the program is “Fighting to Win" which is a very pleasant adventure of “The Col- legians;” then too there are the State a song novelty, the overtare, Faust Fantasie and Iaust in Mod- ern Rhythm,” rendered by Bert Wil- os vS; liams and his State Orchestra and | also the stage presentation, “Ten Minutes in the Studio” with Tuttle, Weise and Fernley, AT THE STRAND Enthusiastic audicnces cach act on the Strand Dbill round after round of applau cach performance yesterday. comedy hit of the program was & turn called Farnell and Florence. This turn literally had the audience roaring with laughter. The male member of this team is an entirely different type of comedian than one usually sees and his manner and his extemporaneous humor made him a great orite with the Sirand patrons. There are several | pretentious acts on the program | including Tillls and LaRue & Co., | and the Les Gellis Revue. acts on the bill included the Jean ackson Troupe and the Ray Waltzer Trio. The feature photo- play s “New York" with Wilson, Taylor in the cast. The program for Thursday, Fri-| day and Saturday of this week will be featured by TLarry's Entertain. who will head the vaudeville portion of the bill, and “Love's| Greatest Mistake,” on the Strand screen. This picture is adapted | from- the remarkable serial story now creating a hit with Liberty | magazine readers. BEWARE THE COUGH OR COLD THAT HANGS ON Persistent coughs and colds lead to gerious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo- mulsion is @ new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and in- ‘hibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is rec- ognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles, Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the jrritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is abs sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs, Crcomu]sion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira. tory diseases, and is excellent for build- ing up the system after colds or flu.
