One of the finest photoplays the Capitol has presented this season is now the current attraction at that popular movie house for today, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is “The Drag Net” and features George Bancroft in his greatest role to date. The story hinges on the under- world theme but this time it attacks the problem from the standpoint of the men who risk their lives every day to preserve society. Bancroft takes the part of a hard. fearless , detective licutenant who walks into danger with a laugh. “Shoot first and aim straight,” is his motto. The role fits this new dynamic star or he fits the role, like a glove. His personality seems to fairly leap out at one from the screen and it is easy to understand the fear with which the crooks are supposed to regard him. Beginning Thursday an excellent double feature bill will be present- 4 offering Victor McLaglen's new starring hit, “Hangmun's House,” from Don Byrne's fascinating novel of Ireland. The cofeature will offer Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle in “Wickedness Preferred.” VE IRISH CONCERT A concert of Irish tunes by a na- tive son of n, the Rev. George Maguire, famous tenor soloist of the Sistine choir, will be presented to the music lovers of this city at 8:15 o'clock Tucsday night in Y. M. T. A. & B. 1.

A collection for this purpose will be taken up during the evening, the admission to the concert being free. Father Maguire has been acclaim- 2d as being second only to John Mc- clormack awiong Trish songsters and he rivals McCormack, his boyhood chum in lis rvendition of Irish folk songs. Tlc purposc of Father Ma- guire in his tour is «xpressed in this sentiment of his: To Lring back a well nigh lost art, and to give to the vouth of liis beloved Treland an op- portunity to develop their God-given talent. The Boston ed him “ireland’s greatesgpdramatic tenor.” Tiue New York Lvening Post has said “Iather Maguire's singing with the Nistine soloists made a won- derful impression, bringing the whole audicnce to their feet.” CAPONE 15 GOING INTO BUSINESS Will Be in Cleaning and Dying Establishment Chicago. May 28 () — What po- lce have been trying for months to do—stop racketeering and terror- ism in the cleaning and dyeing business—today had hecome the chore of Al Chapone, the “big shot” of the gangsters, Capone, who has been blamed for much and found guilty of nothing, has become a principal partner in the Sanitary Cleaning Shops, Inc, which has a large plant now near ing completion. His sponsor is Mor- vis Becker, a cleaner and dyer for 42 years. Becker, in a statement given out by the Employers' association, said the alliance with Capone gives him “the best protection in the world” from racketeers and others who he charges, have threatcned his business by bombs, violence and in- timidation. Becker believes the entry of Ca- pone into the business will put some long-delayed fear into the hearts of those who have been making the cleaning and dyeing business an unhealthy one for those who refuse to fall in line with those seeking to control it. Walter G. Walker, attorney for the Tmployers' association, said paners of incorporation have been taken out bearing phe names of Al- phonsc Capone, John Gusik and Maurice Cowen. Capone’s invest. ment was fixed by Walker as $25,- 200. Aligned with Capone and Gusik in the new enterprise is Philip D. Andrea, of the family known to policc for several years as fuedists.
