- / AT A bl Onless otherwise iIndicated, theatrical written by the prese agencies for the PARSONS’, HARTFORD Will Rogers, America's greatest humorist, will be heard in his own famous and inimitable program this evening at Parsons' theater. l.aughter is said to be almost as good a tonic as golf or deep breath- ing. and Rogers has been v:llh»\:! “the funniest man in the world.” Strangely enough the fact that he scems to enjoy his own jokes makes them seem fupnier. He talks much as he writes, about every- thing and everybody. Rogers said carly in his tour that he had no message to deliver. ‘While ‘he is very humorous about the French debt, the traffic situation and even (alvin Coolidge, vet underneath there is a fine grain of common sense in his viewpoint. And there is no greater message (han the In-| fiuence of common sense. : Wil Rogers is now on his third tour of this country and the re- cucsts for him to include his exhi- bition of rope work have been so numerous that Mr. Rogers will now conclude each performance with an exhibition of his prowess with the ropes, during which he Keeps up a running fire of comment on all matters. His program is divided into two parts, “Europe—As you won't find it in the Guide Book" and * | Rogers—Who is Liable to Talk about Anything or Any- body."” The fun begins at 8:30. RIS T s SR “THE NIGHT BRIDE'—LYCEUM An expectant bride-to-be on her way to the marriage altar finds her fiancee in the embrace of her own sister. Then finding herself in the home of a bitter woman-hater, who mistakes her for a burglar, & new and rosier romance enters her life. These are two of the features of “The Night Bride” which opened this afternoon at the Lyccum with Marie Prevost in the leading role with Harrison Ford, Franklin Pang- born and Robert Edeson. The Lyceum's companion feature is Reed Howes in his newest picture, “The Scorcher.” Imagine a cross- country motorcycle race, first over " the snow-clad hills of California, then through Iits burning desert wastes, in which half a dozen con- testants are out to “get” one lone rider and one has some of the thrill this picture will offer. The news reel and the latest epi- sode of “On Guard” a gripping serial, also are shown as is the talk- " ing motion picture program. The talking movie bill brings Frawley and Smith, two Broadway wisecrackers, a dreamy string or- chestra playing famous Hungarian Rhapsody; and Helen Lewis and her all-girl orchestra. POLI PLAYERS A girl's charming manner leads 2 young man into seeming financlal disaster in “The Butter and Egg Man,” in which the Poll Players are appearing at the Palace, Hart- ford, all this week. The chap from the middle west slips into New York and is more impressed by a comely se€retary than by the mer- iis of the proposition submitted to him. He parts with his money.

Whereas ordinary talcum powders dust off almost as soon as ap- plied, Z.B.T. contains a special ingredi- ent which adheres so closely to the skin as to make it almost completely mois- ture-proof. Thus a delicate, protective coating is formed against dangerous acids, irritation and chafing. Yet the powder does not cake, and allows the free, normal flow of perspiration.
