The laugh is the thing and every- thing works toward that end. “Lost at the Front” at the Capitol theater today, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, with George Sidney and Ctrarlie Murray co-starred, intrigued the present interviewer because of its novelty. Such things as the radio invention that was supposed to aid Germany to win the war, the efforts of a New York cop to get it away from his friend, Krause, the saloon keeper; their adventures in Russia with the women's Battalion of Death; their experlences in the trenches and their efforts to escape * dressed as peasant women, form a series of excruclatingly funny epi- sodes. On Thursday the program will change and will bring two features, One will offer Constance Talmadge and Antonio Moreno in ‘“Learning to Love” while the companion fea- ture presents the Saturday Evening Post story “White Flannels.” Another popular Gold Night vwill be offered on Friday. AT THE PALACE The feature picture attraction to- night is Alberta Vaughn in *Collegi- ate” a riotous story of collgge life. The companion featyre is Helen Holmes, in her latest, “The Train Wreckers."” Another eplendid program of double feature attractions is offered tomorrow, Alma Rubens in “The Week End Husbands,” and the sec- ond attraction appearing on this pro- gram is the Ellbee production, a plc- ture of which much may be expected in “The Burning Gold.” “Burning Gold” is one of the shining examples of the superiority of the new tech- nique over the former. The action is just furious, but a balance is es- tablished. AT THE STRAND The Strand Theater is fast becom- ing popular as a pleasure resort for New Britain and its neighboring cit- ies. The giant cooling plant which is now operating in full force makes the local playhouse compare to the | much heralded cooling systems in Broadway theaters. The program at the Strand for to-, day, Tuesday and Wednesday in- cludes Milton Sills in “Framed,” while the vaudeville portion of the bill is headed by the sensational Dotson, who is a great favorite with New Britain vaudeville fans. It is no exaggeration to say that Dotson is probably the fastest colored dancer on the American stage. He has in the past year added a flne routine of comedy to his act. Other acts include the Chaney and Fox Revue in & series of bits from musical com- edy successes; Walling arnd Dare; Fein and Tennyson and Boyle and Della. Announcement was made yester- day by the Strand that it has en- saged for a personal appearance for three days, the famous screen dar- ling, Baby Peggy. She will open her engagement as the vaudeville head- liner here on Monday, July 4th. GIRL STRUCK BY AUTO. Grace Yacobellis, aged 5, of 439 Arch street, was struck by an auto- mobils driven by Burton I of 469 Prospect avenue, Hartford, about 4 o'clock Saturday afternooa on Hart \&treet, near Griswold. Mr. Hills said the child ran into the street from the sidewalk. He took her to New Britain General hospital, where it was found she was not injured. The police are investigating a complaint 8aturday afternoon by Harry Var- danian of 119 North street that an Intoxicated driver struck his car on Lee street and did not stop.

YOUNG WOMEN MAY KEEP WELL By Tdnu L{‘dia E.Pinkham’s St. Paul, Mlnn-— ‘Here is a little ldvlu I would llka to have you put in the papers,” +f Mrs.Jack Lorber- ter of 704 Dell- wood Place wrote to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medi- cine Company. “If young women © |want to keep ‘| their health and strength for the next thirty years of their lives, it is best to start ight now and take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I bave tried the Compound myself end received fine results.” In de- scribing her condition before taking the Compound, she writes, “I was afraid in my own house in broad daylight, T used to lock the doors and pull down the shades 8o that nobody could see me.” One day a booklet advertising the Vex»!ablo Compound was left on her porch and she read it throush. In so doing, she found a letter from a woman whose condition was similar to her own. “I bought the Vegetable Compound,” Mrs. Lorberter con- tinued, “and have had fine results. The condition I was in made me & burden to my husband.

Chaney in ! this appears as Yen Sin, a Chinaman Who is cast on a New England coast by a storm at sea and who later is | instrumental in bringing happiness to |two people who befriended him. “Her Sacrifice,”” has an all star cast including Gaston Glass, Bryant Washburn, Herbert Rawlinson, Gladys Brockwell, Ligia Goleonda, Hector Sarno and many others. As a special attraction Tuesday night, the Capitol City Four quartet Will give a half hour entertainment at 8:45 which is between features. Bear in mind that when these spe- clal attractions are offered there is no advance in box-office prices. 8230 MAGIC CHARM FAILS TO FUNCTION New Britain Man Has Hartford Seer Arrested Michael Turaski of 141 Smith street, this city, is poorer by $400 in cold, hard cash, but richer in knowl- cdge of human beings, while Profes- sor Toby Hamiway, negro “psychic reader and seer,” of 372 Trumbull street, Hartford, is under arrest in the Capital City, charged with ob- taining money under false pretenses. The professor, it Is expected will be hooked up with several other charges before the case is settled. It is not the first time he has been in difficulty with the police. Michael pald $250 for a magic charm that wouldn't work, he says, and he further complains that when he threatened to expose the profes- sor to the police as a “fraud and a fakir,” the professor cast an evil spell over him. Both Michael and Professor Toby appeared at police headquarters in Hartford, where they entered complaints against each other. The professor arrived first |and he complained that Michael was a nuisance, a disturber of the peace and several other things. He also expressed a belief that his client was mentally ugbalanced. Michael told the police that, while he believes the charms sold by the professor are not sound financial in- vestments, he is firmly convinced s uncanny occult powers. He said that he is now under a spell whieh has cost |him all his friends, who evade him as if he were beset by evil spirits. He further states that he is un- able to drive his little car any longer and that the machine lies idle covered with dust because its driver is possessed of an evil spell. No sooner does he get behind the wheel, then he is gripped by the spell and he cannot remember how to drive it. “My head goes all funny” he sald plaintively. He claims that the professor became angered when Michael told him he had pur- chased a car, because the professor claimed Michael owed him $150 for past services. He called Michael to his oifice, according to the New Britain man’s statement, and, point- ing a finger at him, said, “You will never be able to drive that car.” And it has been the truth, says Michael. ON POLICE BLOTTER Anthony Kowalczyk of 104 Miller street reported to the police Satur- day that a holo was shot in a win- dow at his home. Msr. Gustav Rinas reported an at. tempt to enter her store at 137 Henry street. Anthony Yahn, fjanitor of the ‘Washington school, complained that ten panes of glass were broken, pre- sumably by boys. A report was recetved this morn- ing of an attempt to enter the Bos- tton Market at 172 East Main street. Frank Furman of 61 Main street reported his automobile stolen in front of the New Britain Trust com- pany about 0 last night. o-Stars Marguerite De La Motte ‘and Harrison Yord The Gpeatest Story Ever Told in Pictares!

Over Five Million Washington, June 27 (A—DMore Americans paid taxes on incomes of $1,000,000 and over for the calendar year of 1925 than ever before im the government’s tax history, a treasury analysis shows. The millionaires’ in- comes totalled 207 compared with 75 in 1924 and 206 in 1916, the pre- vious high mark. Seven persons, including two in| Michigan and New York respective- W, and one each in Illinois, Okla- homa and Pennsylvania filed returns showing incomes of $5,000,000 or| over. Seventeen states proved the resi- dences of the taxed millionaires, to- gether with one from the District of Columbia. New York led with 96, while Pennsylvania second with 28, Tilinois and Massachusetts had | 16 each, Michigan had 13, Ohio 8, California 6, New Jersey 5, Missouri 4, and Florida 3. Connecticut, In- diana, Maryland and Oklahoma had two apiece while Jowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin each were represent- ed by one. More Revenue Produced The 1926 revenue act With its in- creased exemptions, lightening the burden of the income taxpayer, proved efficacious in producing| more revenue, the report indicated. The number of returns, filed for the incomes earned during the cal- endar yvear of 1925 and based upon | the act's provisions, decreased 43.4 per cent compared to the preceding year but’ a total tax collection of $734,555,183, an increase of $3 289,793 or of 4.3 per cent, was re- corded.
