This story of the U. 8. Marines is not a flag-waving spectacle, but a human and intensely gripping drama of three *Devil Dog anl their adventures in Irance, Russia and China, told in a most unusual manner and plentifully sprinkled with comedy. It is a talking picture. On Thursday Davey lLee, the lit- tle star of Jolson's “Singing Iool" will be offered in his singing and talking hit “Sonny Boy.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY AY 14, 1923, Reviews of Curreat Theater Offerings (By Herald Reviewer) Cyrano de Bergerac stepped from leaves of Edmond Rostand's work last night at Parsons' theater, Hart- ford, and held the center of the stage for more than three hours. - For th: length of time Walter Hampden, in his impersonation of Rostand's comic hero, was the focal point of atten- tion, revealing qualities of stagecraft seldom witnessed in this day of the languishing drama. Mr. Hampden's which he has given nearly 700 times, is'a glittering, flawless gem. Krom every angle he is impressive. On the stage during the greater part of the performance, he goes through his lines unfalteringly, giving each its proper nuances regardless of the mood.. Gay or sad, bragging or go- ing scriously about a piece of busi- ness, Hampden is master of the sit- uation. The English version of the play is by Brian Hooker of Farming- ton. Cyrano, whose nasal protuber- ance is an atrocity, has the heart and soul of a poet in spite of the scurvy trick nature played on him by giving him enough nose for iwo, He is deeply in love with his cousin Rox- ane but suppresses evidence of his passion, realizing that the world, not alone the lady, would laugh if a man with his face spoke of love. Roxane ioves Christian de Neuvillette, a sol- dier of the guards in which Cyrano also holds membership. She reveals ther state of mind to Cyrano and makes him promise to protect Chris- tian from danger on the battlefield. Christian, unfortunately, is lacking in mental graces, but Cyr: from whose pen verses flow easil plies his rival's wants and provides the language with which Christian carries on his lovemaking. In the third act when Christian, standing in the dark, makes love to Roxane, on the balcony of her home, while Cy- rano, standing behind his friend, whispers the inspiration, is one of the most striking, as well as one of the most amusing in she play. The Ligh spot occurs in the last act, 14 years later as Cyrano, dying, uninten- tionally discloses his love for Roxane and she realizes that it was he who supplied the inspiration for the ar- dor of Christian, long dead. Charles Quigley of New Britain, cast in the role of Christian, is a dashing cavalier who makes a strik- ing appearance. He acts his part ad- mirably in spite of the fact that he is handicapped by a throat condition which makes his voice foggy. Mr. imperspnation, Buddy Rogers, IN THE ALL TALKING SINGING DANCING “CLOSE HARMONY” HEAR THEM — THEY'RE GREAT! VAUDEVILLE CHEW HING TROUPE — MARDI GRAS REVUE Fisher and Gilmore—Hayes and Mae—Najaire and Tointon Quigley has made remarkable strides in progress since those early days, not 50 many years ago when he de- cided to seek a career on the stage. The fact that he is playing the role second only to Hampden indicates the extent of his achievements. Ingeborg Torrup makes a lovely Roxane, the melting, lovesick maiden whose heart sighs for poetry and more poetry. ‘The settings are impressive. The play will remain at Parsons' for three more performances, tonight and tomorrow night with a matinee tomorrow. The evening curtain rises t 8 o'clock and the matinee curtain at 2 o'clock. | TICKLE AND PUNCH INFACTORY FIGHT| Prank Ends in Quarrel With! Discharged Emploge Arrested Angelo Dalsanto, 21, of 201 Hart. ford avenue, is ticklish, and be- cause of the fact a number of things happened to him today, which might not have fallen to his lot in a lite time but for his susceptibility to a playful poke in the ribs. He was going about his duties in the Hart & Cooley factory this fore. noon when someone tickled him., Squirming away he accidentally bumped into Stanley Kaminski of 117 Broad street, a fellow employe, and Kaminski demanded to know why this-and-that, etc. Dalsanto, according to the story, punched Kaminski in the face and Kaminski demanded that the police be called. Dalsanto was discharged and Detective Sergeant G. C. Elling- er was called to the factory. Because of Kaminski's insistence, the ser- geant was obliged to arrest Dalsanto but found that the latter had left the factory. Going to his home, the scrgeant was again unable to locate him, but he left word there to have him call at the police station, and shortly before noon he dropped in, accom- panied by his father. He was book- ed on the charge of assault and re- leased on his own recognizance for his appearance in police court, to- morrow. Like the dog, the sheep and some other animals, the cat's eyes appear to glow in the dark. Contrary to popular opinion, however, the cat cannot sce in complete darkness.
