Nancy Carroll also sings and dances perfectly. Jack Oakie and “Skeets” Gallagher are cast as a vaudeville team and their work is above the ordinary in the picture. Strand pa- trens will ind real entertainment when “Close Harmony" holds the silver sheet. “CHINATOWN NIGHTS,” CAPITOL More plot elements and a swifter @evelopment of action will be the result of talking pictures, according te William Wellman, noted Para- mount director, who has just com- pleted the production of “Chinatown Nights,” from the original story, “Tong War.” by Samuel Ornitz. “Chinatown Nights,” an all-talking picture now at the Capitol. “Explanatory lines, spoken by the players, will eliminate the need for eatablishing scenes which, in the silent picture merely serve to trace character or to fix locale,” says Well- man” It follows that footage will be saved for story and plot elementa.

Take, for example, that mirthful who is Kknown to the theater going public as Mitzi. A cute little atom with tre- mendous power to make people laugh and forget their troubles. Mitzi is playing at Parsons’ thea- ter, Hartford, in the farce called “Lovely Lady”, from the French of Andrew Birabeau. It is a highly en- tertaining show with a wealth of color, clean comedy, nimble dancing girls and a plot that stands up. The chief drawback is the fact that therc is no outstanding singer in the cast to carry the pretly tunes written by Harold Levey and Dave Stamper. The pivot, of course, is Mitzi. She continues to be an cffervescent hum- oriste whose giggles and funny little mannerisms keep the pot of merri- ment boiling. As Folly Watteau, an American girl, she resists marriage to Lord Islington, who has been lected by her uncle, Monsicur Wat- teau, for her husband. Along comes Paul DeMorlaix, a prince traveling | incog., and she engages him at so many francs a month to play the part of her husband, to fool her uncle. Eventually, as the flour bar- ons would say— Helping Mitzi in creating amuse- ment are Juck Sheehan, a natural laugh maker; Wesley Pierce and Doris Patston, with unusual dances; Mona Moray, premiere danseuse, and the Lucille Sisters, whose singing is | interesting. The Albertina Rasche unit of | dancing giris is excelient.

Among Hagen's more startling feats, outside of national champion- ship competition, were his famous 18-hole round of 62 in the Florida west coast opening championship of. 1923, regarded as a world's record for match tournament play; his two rounds of 67-65—132 in the eastern open at Delaware Water Gap, Pa., |in 1926, another world’s record. |Indian Records List Curtis as Incompetent ‘Washington, in ree- an ex- as an “incompetent Indian" ords of the Indian bureau, | amination of the files has revealed.
