BY CHARLES DARNTON | Capitol, the latest and greatest wonder of the theatrical world ‘This house, 4t Broadway and 6ist Street, runs through a block and le bewildering in its vastness. It is said to be the largest theatre in the world, and with seats for more than 5,000 persons this statement Is not likely to bé questioned. It is certainly grand enough for the grandest kind of opera. For one thing, there's a marble staircase that rivals the most striking, feature of the Paris Opera House. Then you step into an upper promenade that makes the French affair seem elose and stuffy by comparison. Above it ranges and spreads @ balcony. In fact, everything seems to range and spregd, yet at the same time to be in close touch with the stage. I'm not going to bore you with a detailed description of this colossal structure. You may be satisfied to know that it’s nearly ali in gold, not the obvious, shining stuff common to gilded palaces, but gold toned down for the disoriminating observer. You can look at it without hurting your eyes, It te algo an oary matter to look at the pictures painted on the walls by!

Jim Toney danced cleverly, but talked at great length without saying anything humorous; Mae West “shimmied” and Lucille Chalfont gave herself to outbursts of gong familiar to Broadway. There was an air of sophistication to all this business that may not mean good business for the Capitol. Ned Wayburn hag not given it anything new, but Will Crutchfield contributed a lariat spinning specialty that made bim second only to Will Rogers. Arthur Pryor’s band was one of the best features of the performance and the singing conductor of the orchestra offered an agreeable surprise. Another novelty was a dog show on the screen that took the form of a kennel problem play. Best and last was Douglas Fairbanks in “His Majesty the American.” If Fairbanks had not gone into the movies he would have made a won- derful burglar. His agility in eluding pursuers is little short of marvelous. In this film play he again performs astonishing feats as a) volunteer fireman in New York, kicks up his heels at Villa in Mexico and then whisks himself to an imaginary kingdom in Burope, where he man- to be the kick behind the throne. By way of sentiment, he's hunting for his mother. You will find a great variety of entertainment at the Capitol, a Yheatre so big that it means nothing less than a sensation.
