__tonight, i Unless otherwise indicated, theatrical written by the press agencles for the e o - s . - =2 AT THE LYCEUM “One Hour of Lovy', a breath- taking drama of romance, and “Rub- ber Tires,” rollicking comedy drama of a family's ocean to ocean trip, to- gether with the installment of “The Collegians,” a great college drama, makes a bang-up good bill which the Lyceum is offering. “Rubber Tires stars Harrison Ford and Bessie Love and is a modern “western ho” adventure pic- ture. Ford, as the ardent lover of the girl traveling west with her iamily, buys a decrepit old car and starts in pursuit. The fact there is ne in the car, is but one of the sidesplitting incidents of mirth. Beautiful Jacqueline Logan is the star of “One Hour of Love” and playing opposite her is Robert Fra- zier, with others including Hazel Keener Mildred Harris, Billy Bletch- er and Henry Sedley in the cast. The story is one of snobbery which turns to love. A beautiful society siren visits her father's camp where a young engineer piques her curi- osity because he apparently docs not fall for her. She makes a wager she will humble him and sets out to do so. But when the young man finds that he is only the butt of a cruel joke he takes things into his own hands and in true melodrama fashion demands his hour of love. The fact that the girl really has be- gun to care for him but adds to the situation. The news reels show the world happenings of interest. latest AT THE STRAND The gala holiday program which opened at the Strand theater yester- day will be shown again today and tomorrow with a formance today because of the holi- day. The headline act, Pat Daley and Co. in their great comedy turn with songs scored a decided hit at | each performance vyesterday. Mr. Daley is one of the most capable comedians that has been seen here in some time and he had the audi-| ence continually laughing at his easy | manner and his humorous jibes. Other acts on the hill include Sid| Hall and Co. in “Spice of Lifs Borden and Boyer in their Air | Thrills,” Goetz and Duffy and the| The feature Perfect Sap,” Omer Herbert Revue. photoplay is “The starring Ben Lyon stark. On Thursday tHe Strand will pre- sent an entirely new program With the vaudeville feature, *“Secrets of 1927" with a cast of nine celebrated Broadway entertainers and other acts. “Women Love Diamonds.” The widely discussed film hit “It" made from Elinor Glyn's most re- , cent novel and featuring Clara Bov will open a four day's engagement at the Strand on Sunday. PARSONS, HARTFORD Some musical comedics depend | for thelr success upon the work of | the principals, some on the endem- bla dancing of the chorus and some on thg music alone. “No, No, Nan- ette,” announced for Parsons’ the- ater, for three nights commencing Thursday, February 24 has so many | ®ood points that any one of the above mentioned qualities would carry it through for an evening's entertainment. “No, No, Nanette' has all the ingredients of a real ®ood show, mixed in the proper pro- portions and served admirably by capable and reliable people of the musical comedy stage. PLAINVILLE'S NEW THEATRE Construction speed records are falling as the owners of the Plain- ville Strand rush their new motion picture house to completion for its gala opening Friday night. The seats, s which are of a new design and afford | sat- | maximum comfort, arrived late urday night, and within 24 hours every one in place on the main floor of this beautiful home of the photodrama. The last doubt concern- ing the theater's being time has now been femoved by the aggressiveness and speed with which | the owners pushed the work, and on Friday night a new and wonderful | chapter in the annals of Plainville entertainment will be unfolded. The decorations of the theater compare favorably with those in the 1eading theaters in Connecticut. The stately dignity of the Textone finish 1s perfectly adapted to a motion pic- ture house, while the simplicity and charm of the mural and ceiling, decoration blend harmoniously with it. Carpeting specially designed to complete the color scheme is being laid, and the various portions of the theater are now, under final a bly, seen to be one extraordinarily unified whole. The most expensive and cfficient motion picture projectors of the latest type have been purchased for the Strand and will be placed in a fireproof hooth of the most modern design. The booth is invisible from the main auditorium, being located over the lobby, and only the projec- tion slits reveal the fact that there s a booth in the theater. The original plans of the theater were altered when the rapid strides in “talking movies” became appar- ent, and the stage has been made into a sound box, all its walls plastered, to assure the maximum acoustic effect when this new devel- opment becomes lable. Thus in every way the new Strand represents the most up-to-the-minute construc- tion and it is a theater which merits the attendance not only of Plainville realdents but of those of nearby towns and cities. TORE AT PALACE special arrangement with the producers of the picture ““Tho Life of Saint Genevieve,” the country’ store which is usually held on Wednesday night will be held tonight. Many gifts will be award- ed to the holders of lucky number tickets.

The life of the saint is shown from the beginning to the end of her carcer. The rfhnagement announces spe- clal banner week for the Palace starting Sunday night. On each change of program there will be an| outstanding picture that has had an extensive run in the bigger cities. ‘““Faust” “The Magician” and| “Siberia,” three of the biggest spe- cials of the current season will be shown on the programs for week. “McFADDEN'S FLATS' ALL WEEK | Owing to the popularity and| widespread comment received by the Capitol management on the com- edy “McFadden's Flats” with Charlie Murray and Chester Conk- lin the picture will remain at this| popular house all this week. This| is the first photoplay that the man- | agement has deemed necessary to | hold over for the entire week and it all comes about from the fact that| numerous requests have been receiv ed by hundreds of people who will not be able to see it if it had a four; day run, and so to comply to these| requests and in order that all New | Britain may be able to see this fine photoplay the management an- nounces it for a full week's show- ing. fcFadden's Flats” is the kind of a comedy that the whole family should see, including all the kid dies. Rich in quaint Trish and Scotch humor, it will delight every- one. It is the story of an Trish hod- carrier, ved by Charlie Murray, land a Scotch “wad-carrfer” played | by Chester Conklin.

A, B. minstrel troupe made a decided hit with the audience, their numbers being well received. The attractive booths with | their first class merchandise were| also well patronized. Especially] well liked is the spacious dance floor, pronounced by many the finest in New England with the Trinity Bacchanalian orchestra making a| perfect dance combination.

ARMS PLAN Refuses to Consider Further Proposals by Goolidge 23 Washington, Feb. (®—Ttaly, like France, has turned ~thumbs down on the American five-power naval limitation proposal and thus has apparently scrapped the hopes of Washington administration offi-| cials for a conference and ultimats | agreement among the five leading naval powers for lighter battle craft restriction. Sincé Japan has accepted the sug-| gestion as originally advanced by President Coolidge but with a stipu- lation that discussions not begin be. fore June 1, it remains only for on the extension of the Washington capital ship limitation treaty to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. | On her pesition appears to rest the prospects for a three-power under- standing or regional agrcement to limit auxiliary craft. The Italian reply, made public last night by the state department, cxpressed that government's unwill- ingness to discuss naval limitation | alone, declaring “there exists an un- | deniable interdependence of every | type of armament of every single | power, and furthermore that it is not possible to adopt partial meas- | ures between only the five large na- | val powers." ! Wants It Universal Italian government,” thel , “thinks that the limi- to be eff “The reply added tation of armaments, Coolidge, should be universal and recalls in this connection that the| example of Washington was not ac- cepted by the minor naval powers| and that the conference held at Rome in February, 1924, for the ex- tension of the principles of the hington treaty to the powers not ory thereto was a failure.” Further reason given for her re-| fusal to accede to the proposal was| that Italy by reason of its “unfav- orable geographical position, cannot| expose itself without grave risks to| a binding limitation of its maritime | armaments, which are already insuf ficient to the needs of its defense So blunt was the reply, in the opinion of some officials, that it ap-| peared to leave little leex for |2 composing misunderstandings of the| American proposal such as Secretary Kellogg has indicated he saw in the rench refusal. | The phraseology employed _indi- cated the Rome government's belief | that the Coolidge proposal contem- plated a reduction in cruiser, de- stroyer and submarine strength, | whereas only establishment of ton-| nage limitation was proposed for cach class of ships and Ttalian and I'rengh ratios were not even includ- ed in the proposed exte n of the| Washington treaty to auxiliary craft. | U. S. Cooperating Meantime, the United States is proceeding under its program of co-| operating in the broader disarma- ment discussion at Geneva under the League of Nations auspices and| some disarmament observers believe that discussion of the American re- gional agreement plan ultimately | will lead to efforts to place fect between the United Great Britain and Japan. | Although it is admitted that such a proposition would present ques- tions of serious import to Great Britain because of her close prox-| there appears to be little doubt that thel three-power arrangement also will be taken up at length informally at| London, Tokyo and Washington be-| fore the Washington government is| willing to concede that further early | naval armament limitation is practi- ally hopeless.
