Douglas Fairbanks big, new pie turc. His Majesty, the American''- the initial production of the Mary plckford Charlie Chaplin Douglas falrbanksD. ". Griffith combine, United Artists Corporation, the so- called Big Four'-was shown on the screen of the Palace theater. Motion picture enthusiasts have been led to expect great things from the Big Four and the first one of the quar- tet to appear in his new style is Doug.
 The new picture starts with a rush, goes on with a rush and ends with a. rush. It is action, pep and go all the Avay through. It is a wholesome e picture, full of good, clean fun and humor, up-to- -the-minute in its ap peal, and as prettily made a film as has been seen in many q day.
 The story concerns one William Brooks-played by F'airban lzs--who lives on thrills and excitement. Why ? Because he has a secret sorrow and he forgets his troubles in the adven- lures that he courts. His sorrow is a natural one; he doesn't know who he IS or who his parents were, and his longing for a mothers love, which he has never known, makes him seek self-oblivion in whatever wild excite ment he can get into. His quest for thrills leads him from New York to

'MARY'S ANKLE IS
 PLEASING TO MANY
Causes Trouble on tbe Stage and
 Laughter in Audience
( By Herald RcvicWcr)

Even as '"Thc Thirteenth Chait' ranked as about the best dramatic cf- fort that the L.Nceum Players have thus far put across, so, also, does "Mary's AnkIe," this weeks prod!ln- lion, properly rank as about the best comedy they have thus far produced. In it, the entire cast has ample op- portunity for individual work and each member does his or her part very well.
 "Mary's Ankle" is the story of three college chumS, a would .t,e tinancier, a struggling lawyer and A struggling doctor, whose friendship "out pythiases' that of the historical Pythias even after they leave college. Until the final scene the main effort of these three young men is to "ecure enough money to get something to eat and the methods adopted run the gamut of humor and present some decidedly funny situations. The cli- max comes iwhen, after being refused a loan by a rich uncle in the west Dr. Hampton listens to the great idea of his pal "Chub.' Wedding invitations are issued to the distant relatives of means. announcing the marriage of Miss Mary Jane, Smith to the doctor. The fictitious name of

As Doe" Claude Kimball makes a good lover, d good fellow and ter rible liar. Equally good are Dillon Dcasey. as Stokes. the lawyer, and Eugene Shakespeare as "Chub," the "tnancier.' Barrow LePaiSe, aS C. r. Hampton, the millionaire uncle, succeeds in putting across his usual stellar acting and adds much to the comedy of the play. Marion ,Coosan, as Glenn entinc, daughter Of Mrs McrciVale, who always inaeineS she is ill, has quite a .lengthy part and appears to advantages Jane Stuart as Mrs. Mereiv;tle' a so adds comedy ard Charles Mylott, although appearing in but the final sCene. causes an out burst of laughter by his "effeminntc soprano" portrayal of the Suip's steward.
 Miss Margaret Leonard plays uo to her usual high standard as Mary Jane Smith, whose sprained ankle IS to blame for all of the mixup.
 "Mary's Ankle" is a good play. Cne that people will undoubtedly enjoy. It's comedy is complete, but free from suggestion of any kind, and capacity houses should be the result if the To- cal theatergoers appreciate the play offered them.

FOX'S THE.ATER.

The Mack Senneft Bathing Beauties,
 arraycd in all--or, to be more correct,
 little-of their sea shore finery,
 caused quite a sensation at FoX's
 theater last evening, when this
 extraordinary offering went on the
 boards for the second time in New
 Britain. And a charming and capti-
 vating bunch of California girls they
 are! The posing and their gallivant-
 ing about the stage is most graceful.
 These eight damsels from the Western
 coast are perfect specimens of the
 female species and, IS one old gentle
 man, sitting in the front row, was
 heard to remark, You don't have to
 strain your eyes to sec it, either.'
 They are a nfty crew and it's all
 p1ain sailing from start to finish with
 pretty sea shore garb on most be-
 widening young ladies in d specially constructed set with novel and attrac-
 tive illuminations. Yankee Doodle in Berlin is Mack Sennett's comic
 masterpiece. and well may he be
 proud to claim it as his best produc-
 tion. It is five reels of extremely
 Imaginable ridicule heaped upon the
 head of the former kaiser--noW just
 plain William Hohenzollern. All of
 the Sennett staff of medians
 extraordinary have a special role in this wonderfully funny film. There are the kaiser, the kaiserine, Hindy (of the famous Line), the clown prince and others, and fun just .bub- bles out of every conceivable situation as only the comedy king, Mack Sen nett himself, can make it. There are only three acts of vaudeville, due to the fact that the time allotted to the program would not permit the act sent to do proper justice to a splen- did program. The Three Bedfords are marvels in the balancing gams { and can stand with any like offering iii the country, as the applause last
