| BABY PEGGGY DUE | ~ ON STRAND STAGE Bt Yur 0 St b0 Rpp| . in Person Probably no attraction ever brought to this city has stirred up "so much enthusiasm as that of the personal appearance in vaudeville of | Baby Peggy, the darling of the mov-' ies who opens a three days engage- ment at the Strand theater on Mon- day afternoon. Incidentally, the performance on Monday will he con- tinuous from 1 o'clock. Baby Peggy is just nearing her eighth year and has already earned a veritable for- tune both as a movie star and vandeville headliner. {The Strand management brings her to New Brit ain at a cost that far exceeds any other attraction ever brought to thi city. UnBike other juvenile celebri- es, Buby Peggy is actually a won- + derful entartainer on the stage. She is a natural born comedienne and has the gemius not found in other juvenile entertainers—to entertain not only the youngsters but adults too. In her vaudeville skit called | “Pinched"” the’ little star has earned the plaudits of the press and public | wherever she s appeared over the : big time vaudeville circuits. Other | vaudeville acts on the program for | Monday will include Ray Loftus and | company in a farcical musical re- | vue: the Cooney Sisters; the Dancing | C'yclones, and Stein-Esther and com- pany. The featurc photoplay for . the first part of the weck beginning Sunday evening will be ‘“Dance Magic” starring Ben Lyon and Paul- ine Stark. Baby Peggy Auring her engage- ment in this city will be host to the Herald Newsies and also greet upon the Strand stage and incidentally in- troduce, New Britain’s marble cham- pion upon his return from the na- tional marble tournament held at Atlantic City. On Monday she will also pay a visit to the Home for Crippled Children at Newington where she will try to create a bit of sunshine for her less fortunte little sisters and brothers Heart Interest Drama On Screen at Palace “The Greatest Love of All” the Encore picture which George Beban is to present this season as his latest offering and which will be seen here at the Palace theater tomorrow, has all the love theme, misunderstand- ings and complications necessary for any high class screen story Here we are to have a photoplay with the settings and locations the real thing, while the picturization of the rom- ance s as beautiful as ever put on the screen.

Byrd and his flight compan- jons, the German press today em- phasized that Byrd, like Clarence D. Chamberlin, deserves the utmost recognition despite his failure to reach his destination, “Both the Byrd and the Cham- berlin flights,” said the Lo Anzeiger, how that niotor tech- _nique and piloting have developed taster than aerial navigation.” The latter, it said, required greater at- tention. “Byrd's flight advanced the pros- pects of trans-Atlantic air traffic,” commented the Vossische Zeitung.

Here they | were given plenty of opportunity to know each other. “True, debutantes were chaper- oned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as fre- | quently as they chose with their favorite partners. “The idea that girlsYn the Vie- torian era spent their days in sew- ing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy. On the contrary those who came to London for the season spent their days in a whirl | of social engagements. “Dress, ‘ot sex, was the great topic of conversation in those days. | “Another popular delusion s that the Victorian girl never indulged in | sport. Lawn tennis was a& most | popular game which was played ex- tensively. Another favorite pastime was water parties. Chaperones were dispensed with .and the girls and young men used to go down th“- river Thames in hoatloads and picnic on the river banks.” ALWAYS 2 Big Features This Theater Ofters the Best in Photo- plays! is Cooled by it is as Cool SUNDAY ONLY George Beban ; “The Greatest Love of All” ! f A slice of life, with all fts moments of tragedy and bitter- ness, blended, as in life, with ex- plosive humor and heart warm- ing passion.
