RICHARD DIX AT STRAND Rapid-tire action describes *Mor- an of the Marines,” starring Richard Dix, ‘which opened at the Strand theater last night for four days. The atory is swift moving from begin- ning to end, packed ‘with thrills, tense moments, and laughter. Dix is at his best in the happ; lucky role he portrays in this pic- ture. While he has his serious mo- menta, his ability to handle the laughs makes “Moran” ong of his finest to date, Ruth Elder, the pretty aviatrix who drew so much attention with her almost successful flight across the Atlantic, makes her professional motion picture debut in this picture, Bhe performs in a veteran manner, and impreases one as being a natural screen “find.” ‘The vaudeville bill is headed by the Skelly-Heit Revue in a delight- ful repertoire of song studies and character delineations. Another fea- ture presentation is MacQuarrie's Harp Ensemble with eight pretty girls in songs with wonderful music; the Thrillers will ofter “Exciting Moments;” Sullivan and Bowman “Melodious Youth”; and O'Neil and Casper will present “Two Dark Knights." On Thursday the Strand will offer the most pretentious girl act in vaudeville, C. B, Maddock's “Mixed Pickles” with clever comedians and & bevy of pretty shapely girls, The feature photoplay attraction will ofter Bebe Daniels in “Take Me Home.” BARNEY RAPP COMING For the first time in almost two years Barney Rapp and his orches- tra are going to appear in the Tabs hall at New Britain Wednesday, Oct. 24, They bring with them a wealth of color in music and entertainment. Their concert rendition is rated among the best. Thelr dance music critics rate as among the best in the country. They make you realize that real jazz played well is an art that few can correctly attain. Bar- ney Rapp can get more out of an orchestra than most leaders because of his wonderful sense of rhythm, syncopation and harmony. To aveid delay at the door we advise pur- chasing tickets in advance at Mc- Coy's, Morans or Blair & Brodrib, PRINCE OF WALES ACTS AS GENERAL'S NURSE Says By Bedside of Friend and Companion Until He Passes Crisis, Nairobi, Kenya Colony, Africa, Oct. 23 (UP)—Brig.-Gen. Gerald F. Trotter, nursed personally by the Prince of Wales, had recovered suf- ficlently from a serious fliness today to start back for England by easy stages. General Trotter, groom-in-waiting to the prince, and his companion on his various world tours, fell ill last week during the hunting trip of the Prince of Wales and his brother, the Duke of Gloucester. Camp was made at Butiaba, near Lake Albert, and doctors and nurses were sent from Kampala. | Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales re- fused to leave Trotter's bedside and ‘sat up with him at night until his illness abated. Trotter was considered strong enough today to start for Entebbe by slow stages, accompanied by doc- tors and nurses. From Entebbe he will return to England. Wales and his brother will con- tinue their African tour. HAVE MASQUERADE PARTY A masquerade party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Lickwar of 66 Miller street Satur- day evening.

Dempsey’s Show to Close in Hartford New York, Oct. 22 (UP)—Jack Dempsey's great personal popular- ity failed to register at the box of- flce when it came to putting over ‘The Big Fight,” a play which co- starred the former heavyweight champion and his wife, Estelle Tay- lor. Producers of the play will discon- tinue its run at the end of this week in Hartford, Conn. Critics said of the play that Dempsey was not a #nished actor, and that he was not materially ald- ed by their vehicle, The “Big Fight” opened in Buf- falo, Aug. 30. It was brought to New York from Philadelphia, and its Broadway run was a disappoint- ment toythe management—Sam Har- ris and David Belasco.

After hearing the story of the couple, the pelice sent word to Manchester and learn- ed that the girl's parents were seek- ing her, Yesterday, Sergeants O'Mara and Foeney went to Mrs. Howe's room- ing house to get the girl's clothes and while there, they interviewed Mrs, Howe and made a report to Prosecuting Atterney Woods, who issued a warrant for her arrest. She testified that another woman n the block told her Friday morning that a eouple named Gordon was being sought by the police and she went at once to the room occupied by Tkacz and the girl and asked them if thelr names were, Gordon, to which they replied negatively. She then told them she would pre- fer to have them leave her home if they were not married because she did not make a practice of violating the law and she knew that it was very easy to become involved in dif- ficulty of a serious nature, Under questioning by her counsel. Judge W. F. Mangan, Mrs. Howe said she had llved in New Britain 25 years, 13 of which she spent at 28 Church street in the rooming | house business and until yesterday she had never been arrested on any charge. For four years she had not allowed a woman to room with her, and she would not have admit- ted Tkacz and the girl but for the fact that she happened to have one reom vacant and she considered it safe to allow them to use it. The girl had the appearance of being 18 years old, and had “make-up” on her face, Mrs. Howe said, when questioned on this point by her counsel, Judge Mangan claimed a dis- charge for Mrs. Howe and Judge Roche granted it, saying the case hinged on whether she know the couple were not married or had re- sonable cause to know it, and he felt that reasonable doubt as to her guilt had been shown. In the case of Tkacz, who pleaded guilty, a con- | tinuance for one weck was ordered in care of the probation officer, and | the girl, who was not arraigned in court on account of her tender years will also be in care of the probation department. It is expected that her parents or some relatives will inter- est themselves in the situation. During the trial, Prosecuting At- torney Woods, pointing to the girl, exclaimed with dramatic emphasis that anyone with common sense and the will to obey the law could tell at a glance that she was “a {mere child.” Mrs. Howe, grasping for money, took the chance and vi- {olated the statute, he declared, and she showed her guilt in her admis- ORN fn a big city— “ rattle of beer cans my only musig—ran with 8 crowd of sneak thieves— looked like easy money —figured only suckers worked — didn’t know then it always led to prison—That’s From Charles Coc’s Noted Satur- day Evening Post Story at the CAPITOL Beginning SUNDAY TODAY * TUES,, WED, Continuous —in— WOMAN DISPUTED" This Stirring Drama SAT.

Dancing 9—1 {be reprimanded for B heard that & couple named Gordon was sought, but rather she told ‘Tzacz and the girl they must leave before they made trouble for her, Judge Mangan, after obtaining an admission from the girl that she had used cosmetics which changed her appearance considerably, made the point that Mra. Howe was justified in supposing her to be of marriage- able age. “It is impossible these days to tell the grandmothers from the children,” he declared. “I main- tain that the use of a little make-up, and not by an expert either, would change the appearance of this little girl so that you could not tell her from a grandmother by using a gray wig,"” he argued, but Judge Roche remarked that he doubted the possi- bility of such a transformation, Continuing, Judge Mangan called the attention of the court to the testimony that the couple had bag- gage when they applied for the room, and it would be unreasonable to demand that Mrs. Howe or any- one else in her business ask every. prospective roomer whether they were married or not. Travelers would be insulted, he maintained, and the effect on the huslne%s would be bad. He claimed that the case was en- tirely different from one in which a person kept a girl in her house and offered her for immoral purposes. This couple came to New Britain from Manchester and Mrs. Howe had never seen them before. As- suming them to be husband and wife she rented the room, not for a single night, he pointed out, but for an en- tire week. “If there was anything derogatory to Mrs. Howe's personal reputation or that of her house, it would have been offered in court, and rightly so, by the combined liquor and vice squad,” Judge Man- gan said. “But not a bit of evidence or reputation has been offered be- cause it does not exist.” At one time during the trial, Judge Mangan became impatient at a state- ment by Prosecuting Attorney Woods and declared that the latter should —PALACE— TODAY ONLY ‘THE HOUSE oF SHAME' HUSBANDS!—Would wife for money?

A little later, Judge Man- gan declared that he was)becoming “discouraged and disgusted at the unfair and preposterous claims made by the prosecuting atterney.” Mr. Woods retorted that Judge Mangan should pay attention to his case and let him alone. Judge Roche, discharging Mrs. Howe, remarked on the absence of testimony as to the reputation ef the reoming house and said the court must assume that the place and the keeper bore goad reputatien and character. He also mentioned that it would be unreasonable to expect Mrs. Howe to question everyone com- ing to her house as to whether or not they were married.
