BILL OF MERIT AT
 KEENEY'S THEATER

The week at Keeney's theater will be ushered in this evening with a big double bill every day, including features, several comedies and all current events of the day.
 In presenting Lou-Tellegen and Mary Fuller in the Famous Players Paramount production of 'The Long Trail" it is felt that this stellar duo will be unusually popular with the amusement public when it will be seen at this theater on Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday. This photoplay was written, by Eve Unsell. and this fact, coupled with the fact that the production was directed by Howard Hansel and has for it's stars two of the best known screen favor ties, should more than vouch for it's popularity. Lou-Tellegen is seen as Andre Dubois," the young French Canadian trapper, living in the wilds
 with his little sister Michette. Mary
 Fuller plays Louise Graham, an or phan whose only living near relative is her scrapegrace brother. The way Andre unconscious1y compromises Louise and causes her hypocrltical friends to desert her, and then mar r1es her to save her from the ad- vances of the uncouth lumbermen of the place makes a tale that is intense 1y interesting in it's freshness and originality.
 Today and tomorrow the first epi- sodes of the two greatest serials ever produced will be shown for the first time in this city. 'Who Is Number One," adapted for the screen by H. M. Horkheimer from the story by Anna Katherine Green, starring Kath- leen Clifford as Amee Villon, filled with rapid action and thrilling and sensationa1ly melodramatic situations resolve this production into a typical continued story. A novel way of add ing enough interest to carry the at tention of the audience over to the next installment has been adopted by a brief summary of what will take place in the next chapter. This oc- CUTS at the end of each episode. This not only gives the audience an ink ling as to what to expect in the future, but also adds a touch of originality, as compared with other stories of similar nature.
 The Universal Serial, 'The Mystery Ship,'' with Ben Wilson. Neva Ger is quick and lively, with any quantity of fights and hair-breadth escapes to keep the audience in state of breath lessness throughout. Keeney Weekly, Current Events several comedies and three high class vaudeville acts will conclude the program.

And here's good news for the kids!
 Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp"
 has been engaged for Friday and Sat- 1 urday. Nearly every kiddie in New Britain, from four years to ninety four, saw Jack and the Beanstalk," |" and it has been the talk of the town ever since it played here. And the
 fact that Francis Carpenter and Vir-
 glnla Lee Corbin, the extraordinary little stars of Jack" also have the 1 leading roles in "Aladdin,' is in it. self enough to guarantee a highly en- ] tertaining production. Additional good
 news is contained in the announce
 ment that none of the youngsters will be unable to see the picture through any financial embarrassment, as the
 prices will not be increased, although is certainly worth it.
 For the grown-ups, and all lovers of big, virile, man-to-man work, there will be unusual interest in William
 Farnum's latest screen triumph, 1 When a Man Sees Red," which will
 head the bill on next Sunday, Mon
 day and Tuesday. When a Man Sees
 Red" which originally appeared in
 the Saturday Evening Post under the
 name of "The Painted Lady," was
 written by Larry Evans, and is a.
 massive eight-part tale of stirring ad- venture in the Pacific ocean and the South Sea Isles.

Tomorrow starts a week of unpar- alleled activity at Fox's theater, dur ing which there will be seen some of the greatest pictures that this house of great pictures has yet presented.

LANE COWL CLOSES
 BOOKING AT FOX'S

Jane Cowl, conceded to be the screens most bfautlful emotional ac- tress, will appear for the Iast time in her first Goldwyn success, "The' Spreading Dawn," at Fox's theater this evening. Made nationally famous through her excellent work in the leading roles of Within the Law" and Common Clay" she is one of tho latest of the many successful stage stars who have made their debut on the screen. "The Spreading Dawn is the picturization of a remarka ble story by Basil King, which, when published in the Saturday Evening Post, attracted such widespread at tention. Georgiana Vanderpyl wishes to marry her soldier lover before he leaves for France, but is prevented by an aged aunt, who dominates the family, and who does not believe in love. As a reason for her attitude, the aunt reveals to her niece the story of her own youthful romance. Through her diary she relates how she
 had married soldier at the outbreak
 of the Civil war. In the midst of
 her happiness, her husband, while
 home on a furlough, meets with a sudden death under circumstances that apparently revealed him as faithless, and the proud girl, never re1anting, lives on to an old age in the firm conviction that love is a mockery. There is a letter which she had never opened, and which Georg jana now insists that she read. It turns out to be the last word from her dead husband and the revelations contained therein throw an entirely new and extraordinary light on his action immediately preceding his 1 death. Clever and ingenious photog raphy aid materially in making "The spreading Dawn" most unusual and i successful photo drama. On the same
 nroqram are also new chapter of
 the. exciting serial, The Fighting
 Trail" and a funny Sidney Drew
 comedy, entitled Rubbing It In.'
