UUTCAST PLAYED ATSTRAND THEATER Corione Griflth and Edmund Lowe Go-Star It is always a severe teet of a mo- tion picture player's ability agd art to bring to the silversheet a role previously created on the speaking lly if that role has be- come identified as the high peint in a legitimate actress's career. But Corinne Griftith need have no qualms about having stepped into the stellar rele of the screen version of “Outcast,” the Henry Hubert Davies play, which first brought Elsic Ferguson into overnight fame. 1f Miss Griffith were not already in the front ranks of the cinema's dramatic stars, she, too, would have sained her spurs by the excellent performance she gives in “Outcast,” at the Strand Sunday night for 4 days. Miss Griffith is one of the few cmotional actrasses who is equally | at home in comedy or tense drama., Her light moments ih the role of the girl of San Krancisco's tender- loin, who not only rises above her own environment, but also becomes un wplitting influence in the life of the man she loves, were played with whimsicality and charm, There is always a convincing human qual- ity In this beautiful star's character delineations, which marks her work | with Intense sincerity. Edmund Lowe Is playing opposite | s Griffith in the same role he | ® cnacted on the stage with Miss Fer- g£uson, and such players as Huntley Gordon, Louise Fazenda, James Ford and Kathryn Carver head the supporting cast. The vaudeville program will be headed by Bne of the funniest acts in vaudeville, Pete and Joe Michon prosenting, “Why Ge te Niugara to Sce the Falls.” Other acts include the Gaynell Revue with a cast of nine enteptainers: Neilson and War- den in YWho's te Blame;” Bob Fisher, *The Duke of Cork”; and the Jolson Trie in “Novelty.” On Thursday, Blackstone, world's greatest magician comes ns the headliner for three days. With a hig company and tons of haggage etc., Rlackstone is the higgest and great- est attraction that has ever playel the Strand. Other acts and Nancy Carroll in “Manhattan Cocktail” complete a great sho STREET ANGEL AT CAPITOL TODAY Inaugural Program of Vitaphone and Movietone One of the most significant events in the history of motion pictures will oceur today when the Capitol theater introduces to New Britain the mar- vels of our scientific age, Vitaphone and Movietone, First shown in the Warner thea- ter, New York, in 1926 these devic " caused a furore in the theatrical and scientific world. For years science l.as been trying to synchronize the speech and actions of the motion picture. It has succeeded at last and not only that, synchronization is perfected. The Capitol theater feels 1 pardonable pride in introducing | Vitaphone and Movictone to this iity, After weeks of preliminary work in installing the apparatus, the | management announces today, at | 12 noon as the starting time and the inaugural of the first sound pictures. | Nothing the Capitol theater has ever | done in the past. can match this | feat of presenting these marvelous | wonders of the age to local theater- | goers. i The epening attraction is on the Movictone and it is the William Fox production of “The Street Angel” and has Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in the leading roles.

In addition to “The Street Angel” Vitaphone vaudeville acts will be of- fered on the bill, offering Conlin and Glass a Vaudeville headliner of re- pute who offer “Sharps and Fla a comedy act that is wonderful. Lois Wilson and Everett Horton will be offered in the skit “Miss Informa- tion.” Local theatergoers will mar- vel at the vaudeville acts on the Vitaphene, This inaugural show will open to- day at 12 noon with continuous shows will be repeated twice on | Sunday night at two performances, | and again at continuous shows on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

All orna- ments were removed from the large handsome church of the village | much to the despair of the populace. When it is considered that Etna's present cruptive mouth opened at | only about 3,300 feet above sea | level while the volcano's height s 10,740 feet, it can be imagined with | what force the menacing stream of | lava is issuing from it. Issued Orders Preier Mussolini forbidding pub. lic subscriptions for the victims of the eruption. This implied that it was | a government matter and that the | council of ministers, which has been convoked for Monday, would take up all relief measures necessary. The plight of the peasant folk is pitiable. The lava stream poured across land valued at from $2,000 to $2,500 an acre. Those who owned 15 or more acres of this fruitful land were considered rich. This year there had been an enormous demand for lemons, which are 'dthered twice yearly, Lemons were bringing mmly three cents cach on the tree, now the | molten stream is creeping lhroughj the orchards and destroying them. Eating Nuts Once prosperous farmers today | were filling their pockets with nuts | from the trées, slinging wine bottles over their shoulders and trudging away from the scenc ot desolation or | begging rides to safety. Others w selling for w song what was left of their once ample stores of fruit and wines, Crowds of spectators were jour- | neying to the zone of fire. Mainly they were Sicilians but there also were foreign visitors who had come to spend the winter in Taomina and its environs. A communique issued by the vol- cano Institute today said that at the mouth of the volcano the velocity of the eruption was four meters a min- ute while the molten stream at its foot was flowing at the average rate of four meters an hour. Above ' the molten stream masses of clink- ers were floating, half moving like a swarm of gigantic snails. No Special Markers Held After Thursday After Thursday, November 15, the State Motor Vehicle department will bhe unable to reserve special automo- bile registration numbers for appii- cants, according to an announcement made today. Until the close of busi- ness on that date, however, effort will he made to supply the same reg- istration numbers for 1929 markers as were issued in 1928, or other low Requests must be accompanied hy correct applications and fecs, and may be made to the Hartford office | or to any of the branch offices. After November 15, all mail orders must be sent to the Hartford of- fice. Because of the rush of busi- ness and the amonnt of clerical work involved numbers will be assigned from that date in the order most convenient to the department.

The progressives are powerful in the present senats because of the | almost equal division of democrats and republicans but republicans will have sufficlent atrength in the next | senate to override them. The present line-up is 47 republi- | cans, 46 democrats and one farmer- laborite. The next senate will have 55 republicans, 39 democrats and one farmer-laborite, unless late re- turns in some of the close .states ' change the eutcome. now indicated. More Reelected The progressives who were re- elected are: Nenators La Follette, | Wis; Frazier, N. D.; vell, | Neb., republica and Diil, Wash., Shipstead, Minn., farmer-laborite. Their success in surviving the Hoover landslide will give the pro- | gressives the same numeral strength in the next sepate that they enjoy | now if all members of the group | continue to vote together on major | legislation. This however is consid- | cred unlikely, Some of the p igressives, notably Senators Borah, Idaho and Brook- hart, la, were among Herbert Hoover's staunchest supporters and | may act with the administration ma- | Jority in the next congress. [ Should 'the progressives retain their unity, they will not have suf- | ficient strength when the Hoover | congress comes into office to com- | bine with the democrats and out- vote the administration as they often did at the last session. urthermore, most of the pro- 1 gressives' policies were espoused | by Governor Alfr 1 E.

Senators Norris, Neb., and | Blaine, Wis., opcily endorsed Smith and La Follette refused to endorse | Hoover. | democrats Punitive Action Some punitive action may be taken by the republicans against Norris and Blaine. "n 1924, the re- publican progressives who support. cd Robert M. La Vollette rather | than President Coolidge were ex-| cl ded from party caucuses and de- prived of their patronz The democrats also may take some action against Scnators Sim- mons, N. C., and Heflin, Ala., who refused to support Smith. Neither | of these senators cndorsed the op- | position candidate as Blaine and | Norris did, however. All of the eight new republican selators elected with Hoover are | understood to be conservatives and all supported Hoover. Besides this gain for the conservatives, they picked up between 20 and 25 seats in the house.
