Vita- phone production, “The Redeeming " 8in. Though settings and atmosphere reproduce so exactly the under. world of the French capital, all the scenes were made at the Warner Rros. studio in Hollywood. The story 18 laid in the Apache district, and embraces a multitude of film types which are essentlally Parisian. Miss Costello plays the role of a flery Apache dancing girl—singer in an underworld cafe—and in this| colorful part she gives the most al luring portrayal of her entire career. Conrad Nagel is seen as her lover, and thus the popular “team” s per- petuated for the enjoyment of the theater goers everywhere. Other | well known players in the support- Ing cast are Georgie Stone, Lionel Belmore, Philippe de Lacy, Nina Quantero and Warner Richmond, “The Redeeming S8in" was directed By Howard - Bretherton, and the scenario, based on an original story by L. V. Jefferson, was written by Harvey Gates. Vitaphone magnificently height- ns the already tense dramatic pow- er of the story—being used for voices of players, natural sounds— nd symphonic accompaniment. Dolo Costello in “The Redeem. Ing Sin" may be seen and heard at the Capitol theater four days be- inning Sunday. Vitaphone acts offer Dora Maug- in “Song Impressions” and Gus rnheim and his Cocoanut Grove rchestra. On Thursday the main attraction ill offer the sound feature *“The Whip"” with an all star cast. As an dded attraction the first all talking pomedy, “The Lion's Roar” will be eatured on this program. DENPSEY NOT TO FIGHT ANY MORE fill Announce Plans After the Sharkey-Stribling Bout Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 23.—(®— | he undercurrents fistiana_are ugging two ways on the sprightly, ebonair person of Jack Dempsey, | fhe Jack of all fistic trades. Ior fen years now, ever since the jant Joss Willard collapsed under he drum fire of the lean fighting jury that was Dempsey in his prime, e man mauler of Manassa has been sreatest drawing card in the istory of the ring. He is still lhal‘ Ind one of the strong currents hi wgging in the direction of more and | igger fisticutrs. But the other current, wearing as he waves on the Miami Beach sands, hauling him steadily along the burse of his iatest triumph—the ceessful promotion of Jack Shar- ey's punch party with Young Strib- | ng. the Georgia slasher, that at first emed doomed to fallure. Now at it is a success, with a profit of least $50,000 assured before the ather slingers step into the ring Flamingo park next Wednesday | ght, the betting is that Dempsey | il handle his fights in the future | om outside the ropes. The hustling Dempsey thinks now | at he never will fight again, even ough Tex Rickard did announce st before his death that Jack ould take his sccond comeback ng next summer at the heavy- pight crown he lost to Gene Tun- Yy three years ago.

Mr. Nevin's opus will be displayed by John D. Willlams at the Parsons’ theater on Monday evening, March 4th, when “Young Alexander” will be presented before its New York premiere with Henry Hull in the featured role, The playwright has taken the facts of history and juggled them into situations, which, if they are less truthful than™the books will have you believe, are at least more interesting and much 1 ore seasoned. Asaisting Mr. Hull in his exciting ad- ventures are A, E. Anson, Charles Dalton, Jessic Royce Land’ - Edward Donnelly, Edward Rigby, Gladys Lloyd, Doan Borrup, Barry MacCol- lum and fifteen othery. Jo Mielziner, who' designed scttings for “Strange Interlude,” Most Immoral Lady" and “Str Scene,” supplied the designs for the eleven settings used in this play. the A GRAND THEATER, HARTFORD ite Life in Paris” current at- traction at the New Grand theater during the past week, will bring to @ close its engagement at Hartford's laugh center today with perform- ances at 2:15 and 8:1 LaVilla Maye i8 co-starred with Charles (Tramp) McNally in this blue Kill- ing show.

Novelties of a surprising nature, music that scores an instantaneous hit and a spirit of fun makes “Red Hots” one of the most e¢njoyable of stage offcrings.
