Marvion Davies turns again—to snare a lover Carlo. . Gone is the Davies of “Quality Street,” the demure damsel that lov- ed and smiled; returned again is the rollicking tomboy flapper of *The " armed with a new bag of tricks, a story with a chuckle in every line and a beauty that is no- body's business, “The Cardboard Lover” which is at the Strand theater SBunday, Mon- day, Tueaday and Wednesday is a fun fest that moves so fast the audi- encea held onto their seats with one hand and their chests with the oth- er. Imagine Marion Davies in a combination of French farce and American comedy; laid in Monte Carlo where men are men and wom- en are out after ‘'em! It's a riot. The picture can be comparable to nothing the fair Marion has ever done, because the fair Marion has never done anything like it. A new comedy recipe has been discovered and the world will pause a moment to laugh at it On Monday, with continuous shows, the Strand will present an excellent vaudeville program headed hy C. B. Maddock's lavish produc- tion, Gladys Joyce and her Girls. Miss Joyce is a noted internatioral star and England’s most prominent pianist and with her girls, she ofr fets a hodge-podge of music, songs | and dances. Another feature offer- ing 8 “The Pirate Queen,” a story in song with the celebrated musical comedy star Cecile Bronson and a large cast of entertainers. Other; acts include the Three Arnims who offer a sensational athletic act; the funny colored comedians Joyner and "oster offering “Running Them collegian at Monta in a very fine entertaining act, On Thursday the program changes and brings as the big attraction, the most talked of girl in the world, Peaches Browning in person. There will be other select acts and on the screen Sue Carrol, Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle will be featured in "Beau Broadway.” NEW GRAND, HARTFORD The new Grand theater in Hart- ford reopens on Labor Day with a matinee, presenting Mutual Burles- que. The new Grand has been en- tirely renovated at a great expense. New chairs have been installed throughout the house. The decora- tions and murals are all new. Noth- ing has been spared to.make this theater one of the finest in the city. As a matter of fact, it can truthfully be called a new playhouse. The management wishes to stress the fact that a standard scale of prices will prevail during the entirg season. The daily matinee will be | and 50 cents; the evening prices 50, 75 cents and $1. Best seats will never be over $1. Reserved seats will be on safe two weeks In advance as a regular policy. ”’ Burlesque today is a happy com- bination of musical comedy and | vaudeville. The shows to be pre- sented at the new Grand will pro- vide fine entertainment for the| whole family and need not bow ',o| any in the theatrical world. Frank Damsel’'s ever-welcome “High Flyers” is scheduled for the| reopening. Burlesque, vaudeville, musical comedy, the dramatic stag and the speedy sphere of the cabarct have all heen generously culled to make the impending offering a note- worthy one on the Mutual circuit. PALACE THEATER We really are unable to realize what this modern world of great money interest, material greed for viches and pleasure and sinful ne- glect of the high purpose of love and life would be if God had not| sent to earth the blessing of the motion picture art. Its good influ- ence prevents many of us from go- ing ahead with sinful purposes and day by day, this great teaching ve- hicle becomes more and more im- portant in the development of the nind, the spreading of knowledge and the warning against misbchav- ior. “The God of Mankind" tells us a story of several selfish people, who were unable to realize the folly of money craviug until it was too late {0 even atone for their sins or save their lives from punishment. Also listen in on Tom Mix in “Hello Cheyenne!" for real enter- tainment. | A last minute reminder to see Tom Mix in “Hello Cheyenne!", his Lest picture in yvears, which opens at the Palace theater Sunday and Monday.

Y., Sept. 1 (P—S8ep- tember rolled around today and found Governor Smith still figuring out the details of the first tour he will make in the race for the presi- dency. Less than ten weeks remain be- fore election day in November yet the democrati¢ presidential nominee was peacefully sequestered in the big brick residence on Eagle street which he has called home for nearly cight years while guiding the des- tinies of New York state—putting the finishing touches on his initial itinerary. Unlike campaigners of long ago, who at this stage of a presjdential year had covered much ground and made as high as six or eight speeches on prevailing issues, the New York governor is one of those who believes in a slow start and a whirlwind finish. Until he is ready to announce his speech making plans he will be as much resting as his state dutics will permit. His recrea- tion will consist of his favorite plunges in the private pool on the nearby country estate of Lieutenant Governor Edwin Corning. One thing was certain today in connection with the nature of the campaign Governor 8mith will make. He has decided to revert to his time honored custom of delivering only lief that this type is more effective than the prepared address. In all his gubernatorial campaigns, the governor never made a speech where he had to read from text. Since becoming the democratic standard bearer he has prepared in advance but one and that was his ac- ceptance speech. His decision to adopt his old method of stumping |- means that he will be free to elab- orate on some particular issue or | embrace entirely new ones, whereas under the prepared address system he would be at a disadvantage if he desired to stray from text, as often is the case in a fast developing campaign. The democratic nominee will spend the Labor Day week-end in Albany. He had no press conference | on his engagement list today, nor | any other callers on campaign busi- | ness. William F. Kenny, an old crony, 'was expected in from New York for a little golf, and if any- thing else happens over the week- end which he thinks would be of in-~ unteer the information.

There will be other Select vaude- ville acts and the feature photoplay will offer 8ue Carrol, Lew Cody, and Alleen Pringle in “Beau Broadway.” In his interview at the mansion yesterday he told newspapermen that they should not be hesitant about taking things easy, as he in- tends to do. “I'll tip you off if anything hap- pens,” he said. “I have pretty fair news sense, You write the news but |T have been helping you make it for a few years."
