Thrills abound in this tale of thrills, guns and cops. David Graham Phillips was one of America’s most famous novelists and, in “The Grain of Dust,” his ssnsationa! story delineating a man’s struggle against the allure ~of the wreng woman, he has dramatically sat forth problems of the worid, the supremacy of sex over the other basic imstincts. It is a theme so traught with drama that any serious presentation of it would be interest- ing, and the 'picturized version which Tiffany-Stahl has produced and which is at the Capitol Thurs- duy for thres days, has, in addition to its absorbing plot, a more than ordinarily intelligent cast and George Archainbaud's splendid di- rection, ‘The co-feature presents “Shadows of the Night,”. a delightful film story with Flash, the dog wonder, Law- rence Gray and Louise Lorraine in the featured roles. Beginning Sundsy night for four days the Capitel .will offer “Our Dancing Daughters,” the most dis- cussed photoplay of the present day and with.a cast that features Joan Crawford, Dorothy Bebastian, Anita | Fage. and John Mack Brown. i CAMEO, THEATER, BRISTOL Due to the tremendous deraand for scats, the Cameo theater, Bristol, announces that the “Garrick Play- ers” will appear in that city for three days each week instead of two as heretofore. On Thursday, Fri- duy and Saturday of this week, this popular stock company will be seen in Willard Mack's sensationally suc- cessful shew, “Kick In." The Garrick Players are a well known stock organization having achieved no amall measure of suc- cess in past years, before their ad- vent ' -in Connecticut theatrical circles. The Cameo theater is offering the Garrick Players at the lowest ad- nissions ever changed for stock shows, and New Britain lovers of this type of entertainment should make early reservations for seats. The orchestra and loge seats are reserved, and choice seats will be held for out of town patrons. Tele- phene your orders to Bristol, 1860. The Cameo offers a large parking space in the rear of the theater, where your car can be safely park- od during the performance. CANNOT PAY HIS FARE, PASSENGER ARRESTED Napies Boards Train From Hartford to This City Without Money in Pocket Frank Naples, aged 45, of 8 Chris- topher street, New Haven, boarded & train in Hartford yesterday with- out having any money and when Conductor Hughes came around to collect fares, Naples told him he could not pay. The conductor asked him if he wanted to be arrested and Naples assured him that he did not object. Consequently, the police were notified and Motorcycle Officer Strolls went to ths passenger station and took Naples into custody on the charge of evading his fare. . In police court today, the officer testified that Naples was under the jnfluence of liquor and the conduc- tor deacribed his condition “about halt full.” Naples, however, denied that he had been drinking and said he had been in Hartford for an ex- amjnation at the veterans’ bureau on account of his physical condition resulting from war service. He has been under treatment in eight hos- pitals and s unable to work except on temporary jobs of light nature. He said he asked someone in Hart- ford if it would be all right for him 10 board the train and was assured that it would be, but when the con- ductor called for the fare, Naples noticed that he was not the man he had been talking to in the station. “Someone played a joke on me" he said. Judge Saxe suspended judgment. Naplés formerly lived in New Brit- ain and sald he has uncles living here. He said he knew Prosecuting Attorney Woods since he was “that high,” and he indicated the height of & youngster.

LOIS MORAN AT STRAND ‘Tonight is the last showing at the Strand of John Barrymore in hi sensational masterpiece ‘*Tempest which has been pleasing large crowds since opening Sunday last. ‘The vaudeville program finishing its engagement tonight includes five very entertaining acts. Those who have read “The River te,” by Charles Francis Coe, which recently ran in the Saturday Evening Post and which comes to the Strand theater for an engage- ment of three days starting Thurs- day, will recall, most of all, that it was, primarily, the story of a boy who never had a chance until he met the girl who plucked him from a life of crime and brought him back to decency and to her. On the program is five new select acts of vaudeville headed by Mar- jorle Lane and her company of six classy, peppy entertainers in “Dance Lessons.” Another feature is the skit “Good Night” as offered by Ray- mond Bond, the former stock and legitimate star and his company: other acts include the Four Beau Brummels, a harmonious quartet of fering “A Breeze of Harmony;" Marko and Jerome in “Another Piece of 8ilk;" and Singing Eddie | Nelsen in “Femology.” All next week ! the Strand will celebrate Fall Carni- | val week with a monster show of 14 vaudeville acts, seven each half | week; and sclected photoplay hits. The photoplay for the first half be- ginning Sunday night presents Doro- thy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall in “Waterfront."

The defendant further testified | that immediately after the accident, the plaintiff threatened to bring suit and was alleged to have pleaded with the defendant not to report the accident to the motor vehicle depart. ment as he did not wish to have his license revoked. The plaintiff is also alleged to have stated that he was in a hurry to get to the Fafnir Bearing Co. to transact some business, whereupon the defendant took him there in his machine, it was testi- fied.
