New Program at Hippoorome
1.-THE Bell Boy" is the title OF the
mid week program put on at the Hip
nodrome by Fox Reilly's Globe Trot-
ters at the matinee today and is sched'
uled for two performances tonight
and three tomorrow. There is more
plot to the comedies being served to

we lool, upon it as a welcome improve
ment, There is a start and finish
and a connection at proper 5unctures
all through. The introduction Of spec
fatty numbers Is properly timed and
musical theme which is maintained
throughout gives to the whole an at:
mospbere which one expects only OF
hiph class farce comedies and l:Ght
operstic productions. "The Bell Boy
IS even more musical than "0h, You
Daddy" and introduces a nlmber OF
individual hits by the headliners IN
the cast. The trio Of singers and COM
edianU are in the spotlight in the new
program and Ernest Linwood is cast
az a lazy porter His blacktace part
in tie first bill won for him instant
recognition as a pleasing type OF COM
edy artist and the role he assumes IN
"The Bell Boy" will be equally eX-
hilarating.

darkest Russia" at the Sr""u'
The Peerless production OF Darkest
Russia" at the Grand today brings to
the screen a melOdrama that was pop
ular when the word screen meant only
an article Of household furniture with
which to hide something. An odd CO.
Incidence in showing the picture at
this time Is that the conditions that
govern the plot Of the drama can
be spoken Of in the past tense. Those
who will bark back some fifteen years
or 90 will recall that the story hinges
upon the domination Of the Russian
nobility over their families and sub,
1ects. But the activities OF the last
month, and since the picture was Pro-
duced, have changed all this, making
the autocratic rule shown in Darkest
Russia" an example OF what the Rus
sian people formerly endured.
The heroine Of Darkest Russia" Is
