Baby Marie Osborne is the champion in the second feature, aided by her little col ored playmate. Sambo.
 Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday there will be presented at F'oX's thea ter what can be termed one of the best show layOuts that has been seen in New Britain this season. The fea- ture picture "The Girl From Out side,'' Rex Beach's powerful drama of the Yukon. The first chapter of "The Invisible Hand" starring Antonio Moreno, fearless daredevil of the screen is also included. Baby Osborne in her latest two reel comedy drama, Daddy No. 2,' an Outing Chester travel reel and the Fox news along
 
 fine vaudeville, featuring the Mast sisters two clever children, and the MI Musical CrNsties, a comedy musical of fering.

 The story of the play tells of the Nelson family typified by hurdwork- ing-as a tinancer works hard father, a socially ambitious and bill contracting mother. q daughter who is@ devoted to both and a son who is devoted to the Great White Way" In the beginning everyone acknowl- edges the Nelsons have no cupboard, no family sllelcton.

His reply, Just passing and @thousht I'd drop in and meet my family carries with it a conviction that father felt very much neglected. SQ he was. To supply the neglect he took to calling on Kitty Claire, a vaudeville actress. The son opens the cupboard when he returns home drunk one night and tells of his fathers relations with Kitty.
