AT THE STRAND Capacity houses yesterday greet- ®sd Paskman’'s Radio Minstrels at the Strand theater where they opened a three days' engagement. The Radio Minstrels, who are popular broadcasters of WGBS, New York, offer a distinct diver- sion from the usual vaudeville and scored solidly at each performance yesterday. A pretentiously staged affair, this minstrel performance displays such an abundance of tal- ent and stars as one seldom untici pates in one production. Nate Bus- by scored what was probably th most emphatic hit with his inimi- table comedy, singing and dancing.-| Others who starred and were en-| thusiastically received were Dave | Irwin, Jack Rice, George Zorn, the | Diamond Studded Quartet and the| inevitable minstrel band. ture photoplay at the Strand is “Smile, Brother, Smile,”” starring Jack Mulhall and Dorothy Mackaill. AT THE PALACE Country store will be held at the Palace theater tomorrow night with a wide variety of gifts, and a dou- ble feature attraction will offer Charlie Murray and Chester Conk- Hn in “McFadden’s Flats.” A group of literary hodcarriers minded funmakers have undertaken the task of literally bullding « house of laughs. The companion will be Johnnie Walker in his first dual role of his phenomenal screen career in Snarl of Hate,” in which he s starred with “Silverstreak,” king of dog actors. AT THE CAPITOL Tonight is the last showing at the Capitol of John Gilbert in “Twelve Miles Out,” the photoplay hit that has been well liked since opening here last Saturday. Joan Crawford and Ernest Torrence have excellent supporting roles On Wednesday the entire pro- gram changes this week, instead of on Thursday as has been the ca in the past. Beginning Wednesday for three days only an excellent ‘double feature program will be of- fered. The main attraction will offer #The Great Deception,” a thrilling romantic drama of the secret serv- jce. The action in this photdplay takes place on land, on sea, and in the afr. Ben Lyon and Aileer Prin- gle will be seen in the leading roles. The companion feature will offer *Love Makes 'Em Wild,” a delight- ful comedy drama in which an all- star cast is featured. Beginning Saturday matines for four days the management an- nounces the showing of Lon Chaney in his greatest role, “Mockery." AT THE LYCEUM Clara Bow, starring in “The Primrose Path,” shown here since Sunday, is turning away smiling faces every day. “The Primrose Path,” a very tense and sturdy drama combined with an excellent cast of stars, has a very interesting story throughout the unreeling of the plcture. Clara Bow, loved screen star, In this picture takes the part of a stage star. In the room next to hers, Wallace McDonald, her Jover, is forced into a plot through trickery by her manager and only by playing wise and with clever, keen thought she saves her lover. The companion picture s “The Swell Head,” a very fast picture with Ralph Graves, FEugenia Gil- bert, Johnnie Walker, Mary Carr and many others putting over as nice a picture as has been seen in r long time, Lord Palmerston, former British premier, kept his inkwell about 12 feet from the desk where he stood and worked. The short walk necessary for every dip constituted his dally exercise. PALACE WEDNESDAY 2—GRFAT FEATURE BILL—2 CHARLIE MURRAY and CHESTER CONKLIN in McFadden's Flats The funnlest Comedy of the year!

As us this cast enacts the production in an entirely satisfactory manner. The story deals with a New York playwright who has gone stale in his work. He accepts the advice of friends and gocs to a country town to get “atmosphere.” Ho gets it aplenty. He becomes mixed up in village politics, saves the postmis- tress' son from everlasting disgrace, of course falls in love with the pos mistress' daughter, thwarts the vil- lains and in the final scene there | seem to be two weddings and a fam- | ily reunion in the offing. Vincent Coleman has a good part | in that of Robert Ford, a playwright, jand Walter Scott Weeks as another playwright adds to the comedy fea- tures. Harry Marshall is a typical comic paper small town constable and Jay Ray his equivalent, but in the role of the village handy man. Frances Williams looks a trifle young as the postmistress is her daughter. Edmund Abbey re- turns to the cast this week in an ex- cellent character role, t of Con- gressman . an unscrupulous politician, while Robert Perry is cast as the postm ' weak son and s Geo teynolds, Adrienne_ Earle does well as g The most of her part atsy Neal and John Burns have minor parts.

AN, VI and MAN AMS By ROLPH MURPHY nd Ann Merrick | an- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1927. SAYS RELIGION NO POLITICAL ISSUE Ex-Gov. Bryan Would Bar Pro- hibition Also Rapid City, S. D, Aug. 15 (UP) —Former Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, brother of the famous commoner, has expressed his opinion that the next demo- cratic presidential campaign must be conducted by an anti-monopoly I platform and that prohibition or re- ligion should not enter into party discussions. In a letter written to Maurice P. Murphy, attorney of St. Joseph, | Missouri, Bryan set down what he thought democrats should do and indicated that he would have no objection to Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, Missouri, as a prospective nominee. The letter was sent to the United Press correspondent here by Mur- | phy, who wrote to Bryan asking him how he felt toward Reed. The Missouri senator is considered an ardent wet and Bryan is considered one of the dry leaders of the party. Admires Senator Reed “I have had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Senator Reed for the past 20 years, and| have admired his ability and fear- lessness in public life,” wrote Bryan. “As a matter of personal friend- {ship as well as a matter of justice {T urged that the Nebraska member {of credentials committee at San IFrancisco convention cast his vot in favor of seating Senator Reed |as a delegate when a vicious fight ,was being made against him, par- !vr‘ul'-*l\ from his home state. (Friends of President Wilson then were combatting Reed be- cause of his opposition to the ‘lr;vavf‘ of nations). i “In the middlewest both demo- icrats and republicans are more in- terested in issues than they are in men.” In other words they will be undecided as to what man they will support until they are able to learn what issues various candidates represent or intend to support. “Our people are interested in economic issues and the en o agri- cultural sections of the middle west are so aroused over cconomic issues and the y affect the farmer | {that they wilk-not {in any candidate who is discussing issues other than the ones serious ly and financially affecting them. Liquor No Issue | “Voters that I have been able to | keep in touch with through the| country are not interested in any| phase of liquor or prohibition situa- tion.

He wrote it as a personal message to Murphy, who is working for Senator Reed, and some political observers interpreted it as meaning that Bryan demo- | crats might go for Reed. Information came officials from railroad here that Mr. Coolidge is | contemplating a trip through Yel- |lowstone. National park. The presi- dent has asked them to ascertain | what arrangements could be made for a ten-day trip there. PRIEST EULOGIZED i Bishop Nilan and Many Prominent Clergy of State at Funeral of Be- loved Pastor. Torrington, Aug. 16 (A—The funeral of the Rev.

The Allgemeine Zeitung declares the attempt should never have been started in view of the bad weather reports and without wireless send- ing equipment and experienced operators aboard the planes. Dis- | regard of such “elementary precau- tions,” it adds, amounts to criminal neglect. Tt would also have been better, the paper believes, to fix the goal as simply the first accessible point ! cn the American continent instead | of New York, which is more than 600 miles farther away, or the even more distant Chicago. Germania, in a similar strain, complains that there is too much of a "stunt” about the flight. The object, it continues, should not be to “pander to the public praise for sensational record-breaking,” but to make transoceanic flying a practi- cable business proposftion. For this purpose, it believes, single-motored planes are entirely inadequate. Al the paoers, however, are em- | phatic in declaring that another at- tempt must be made. { ASK ONE ANSWERS is a river In | THE Ganges 1—The India. ! 2—Gunga Din s by | Rudyard Kipling. ! 3—Amber is a fossil resin | tound principally on the shores of | the Baltic Sea. 4—Great Salt Lake is in Utah. 5—General Grant's -body Grant's tomb, New York Cit 6—Scaramouche was written by Rafael Sabatini. 7—The boomerang weapon or Australia. 8—Patrick Henry said, “Give me liberty or give me death.” I 9—~Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. 10—Peat s cut into cakes and is a native sod which ecan be sed as fuel Rattan is a vine belonging to the palm family.
