The old Mary, with ber curls and her little-girl dresses, 18 gone forever. The new Mary of *‘Coquette” is the last word in smart young womanhood, close- cut bob, Paris frocks, high-heeled slippers and everything. But now and then, the little girl, who is gone but not forgotten, peeks out from behind the young woman who has taken her place. No transformation can eradicate the piquant sweetness and wistful smile which Dbelong to “America's Sweetheart.” As Norma Besant, the little bellc of a small town, Miss Pickford re- veals superlative appeal and force. She portrays the emotional devel- opment of this little flirt from gay girlhood to tragic womanhood with an understanding and finesse, that clinches her place in the forefront of screen stars. The vaudeville program has five select acts to offer featuring the vaudeville headliner, Charles Ahearn and His Millionaire Band, bankers, brokers and financiers, and cne of the most novel acts on the stage today.

The story deals with the machin tions of a suave roue to accomplish the seduction of a beautiful young girl who has taken his fancy. He t only fails in his purpose but his actions lead to his death. The evi- dence 'is purely circumstantial and’| for a time there is grave danger of an innocent person being convicted of murder. ‘The climax comes in a dramatic trial scene wherein a sur- prise witness tips the tice in the right dir Recreation Commission To Plot Summer, Work | Playgrounds will be discussed by the municipal recreation commission at its meeting this evening. Tt is ex- pected that a decision will be made upon grounds in the eastern part of the city which may be used this| summer. Repeated demands have been made by the people in that sec- tion for recreation grounds for their children and Mayor Paonessa has | been eonsidering the acquisition of | a site there for some time. The lack of avallable spots has made the task difficult. The recreation commission has been in hopes that some prop- erty owner in the scction would grant use of his land for use as a soft ball diamond. Consideration will be giyen to & plan to use the Rooscvelt school grounds for recrea- tion purposes.

The story centers about one wo- man and three men. The woman is Miss D wife of the captain of the cruiser. Donald Reed is one of the men, one who would like to be her lover; Paul Lukas is the cap- tain; Nicholas Soussanin is the cyn- ical and revengeful heavy. “The Night Watch" was direclted by Alexander Korda. Donald Reed and Paul Lukas play the masculine leads opposite Miss Dove. The com- panion feature is a thrilling western, “Born to the Saddle” starring Ted Wells with Duane Thompson. “IRON MASK” AT CAPITOL Do you want to see a truly mag- nificent picture with a powertul story, interesting people and superb settings? Do you want to forget the hum- drum “now” and spend an hour or two in the romantic “then” of the 17th century France, when kings and cardinals moved through stately pal- aces, and an iron masked captive paced the stone floor of an island fortress? Do you want to see D'Artagnan, brought to vivid life by Douglas I"airbanks, riding with his three loyal musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, upon their quest for romance and adventure? i Then you must sce “The Iron Mask,” the latest Fairbank’s picture, which opened last night at the Cap- itol theater with sound. Doug is D'Artagnan, and D'Artag- non is Doug. The story might have heen tailormade for Fairbanks. In the latter part of the picture he adds a new and charming dignity to his with the wearing of a wig, but maintains the ageless beloug to D'Artagnan and to Doug.

No question of the wisdom of purchas- ing such equipment was raised, but members of the board of finance and (axation expressed a feeling that the condition, of the city finances wonld not allow these expenditures this year, and the request was rejected. *At present, the city maintains two ladder trucks, the 75-foot aerial ma- chine being kept for service in th: center of the city, and the city serv- ice ladder truck, house at Station L, being sent into all other districts. The sdction of the city which south of the railroad cross-over can, we feel, be covered properly with this piece of apparatus, but it is a physical impossibility to transport this car into the nprthwestern sec- tion of the city rapidly enough to furnish proper five fighting facilities. Rince this is a locality made up al- most exclusively of frame constru tion, it can readily be seen that it is the district in which the greatest hazard exists and the one in which the most complete protection should | be afforded.

This ‘makes it possible to instruct membera of the depart- ment id the handling of “leaded™ hose, a very important evolution in the training of firemen. This fea- ture of the department’'s work is in the hands of Deputy Chicf Eugene F. Barnes. “Under the supervision of Deputy Chief Michael T. Souney, members of the department have done excel- lent work during thé past year in fire prevention. Regular visits to all buildings located in the districts which they se-ve have been the rule. This acquaints the men with the types of construction in which they are liable to be called upon to fight fire. As a result of these visit~, nu- merous orders have been issued for cleaning up hatchways, backyards, ete. “Many cities have established bu- reaus of fire prevention, detailing regular firemen to this type of work exclusively. This is an innovation in fire department service which ommend in the ncar future that Britain. “In the past year, 19 fire alarm boxes have been installed. Eleven of these have gone into school build- ngs. When all boxes for which moncy has been provided have been placed, there will be 178 points about the city from I\hnh alarms may be sent. “The steady increase in the num- ber of alarm boxes, which has come with the expansion of the city., brings to the fore the question of abandoning the present mechanical system and substituting a manual system. Expert advices are that the mechanical system cannot be expect- ed to serve our municipality for more than a few more years. The manual system entails the appoint- ment of six operators, two working on each of three shifts, The cost of the equipment for this type of sys- | tem is great, Study by the common i council and the board of finance and | taxation, in cooperation with this | board, is recommended.

We believe a great part of the credit for the confinement of all fires to the buildings in which they originated is due to Chief William J. Noble.

The work of a fireman is a hazardous calling, fraught with dan- gers, and is fully appreciated only by those who have had occasien to call on the department for its service.
