BUNNY MAKES HIT
AT FOX'S THEATER

One of the cleverest pieces of en-
tertainment that the screen has of
fered in many day is THE Heart of
Romance, which will be seen for the
last time at Fox's theater today. Of
course New Britain would like. the
picture anyway, for George Bunny S
sake, but George is lucky to be in a
picture that is so good that it will
go over anywhere, and not a little
credit for the splendid production
goes to Mr.. Bunny himself He GER
tainly shares all the honors with juno
Caprice, the featured star of the pic
ture, and it would be extremely diff
ficult to find the slightest fault with
the work Of either of them. The New
Britain man plays the part of Judge
Stafford, and he has plenty of OPP
portunity for the display of his
ability. He figures in some comedy
bits that are positively delicious. Miss
Caprice's role fits her to a IT., and
at that is different from any of her
previous work, for instead of start
ing in rags and ending in riches, as
is usually her experience, she is real
class all through The Heart of
Romance. She's all silks and satins,
brocades, and lace and Georgette
crepe; fancy shoes with no buttons
missing; wonderful hats, bedecked
with fancy ribbons and satin all over
and-and-well, enough to bankrupt
any husband. Why, she even wears
stockings without holes in them, she's
SO dressed up. The story of the pic
ture is that of a young man who
wants to marry June. He is a clever
writer, but poor, and Junes guardian,
George Bunny believes he is after
June's fortune. The guardian ac-
cordingly puts Aehim through a few
stunts to test his devotion, any one
of which would be sufficient to
make any ordinary man quit. THE
Heart Of Romance" is thoroughly en-
joyable all through. On the same
chapter of that world-beating serial
'Vengeance-and the Woman!", in
which we see how Blake escaped from
the mountain wall and rescued Betty
from the bandits. Billy West is
certainly funny, and his first appear
ance at FoX's is so extraordinarily
successful that he has been engaged
for a steady appearance. Mutt and
Jeff in "Ventriloquists", and the
Pathe News complete the show. Pre-
parations are being made for a law
ish presentation of that new seven
part Fox standard production of that
sensational French story, ''Du Barry
in which the peerless queen of emo
tional actresses, Theda Bara plays the
title role. Miss Bara, as Madame Du
Barry, the peasant girl of France, who
rose, by INSCRIPTIONS means, to be
the faVorite of the none too angelic
King Louis the Fifteenth, has the
more remarkable opportunities of her
cycIonically successful career, and
many who have followed her work
closely assert that in the present pic
ture she far surpasses anything that
she has previously done. Charles
Clary, the handsome villain, is in the
cast, playing the part of
the willy king There will be two /
showings of "Du Barry on Sunday !
night at seven and nine, and three on !

it is going to be more popular during

Frily ruffles can go long way to
making a frock both dainty and
pretty. In this handsome dress the
ruffles tend to, put beauty and style
together with a perfection that is
rarely realized. It is developed in
blue wolfe. The tunic has four ruffles
in graduating sizes, the ruffles start
ing at the back of the waist and
circling the bottom of the skirt. They
are of the same color and are a new
feature of the coming seasons style.
The waist has it's share, of ruffles,
