PALACE!
Douglas MacLean in Let's
Re Fashi0nahle"

The sprightly adventures OF the
Henry Langdons. man and wife, in
their attempt at the social conquest
of an ultra-fashionable California
suburb, constitute the latest screen
activities of Douglas MacLean. the
Washington boy. and his wistfully ap-
pealing co-star. Miss Doris May. in
Let's Be Fashionable" their latest
starring production. which opened a
weeks run at Loew's Palace Theater
yesterday as the featured attraction
of an abundant and joyous program.
Mr.. MacLean's urbane acting style
and Miss Mays thoroughly charming
display of talent bring a brilliant
note Of comedy to a picture that Is
unusually rich in comedy values.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter De Haven in an
added number. "a Model Husband;

CRANDALL'S.
Wallace Reid in
"The Dancin' Fool"

The humors and the romance Of the
jug business are made the basis of
plot in THE Dancin' FOOL" his best
recent photoplay vehicle, in which
Wallace Reid was pictured as a star
at Crandalrs Theater yesterdal. In a
role that makes the cabaret and the
gaudier pursuits of metropolitan life
quite as important an element in the
development of the narrative as the
more. prosaic manufacture OF earth
enware receptacles for various de-
grees OF alcoholic content, Bebe Dan
iels affords the star exceptionally in
teresting support.
Supplementing THE Dancin' Fool"
and assuming almost the rank of
companion feature on the bill, is
shown for the first time in the Capital
the new Sunshine comedy, Monkey
Business" in which seem to have
been concentrated all OF the laugh
provoking qualities of which the Fox
studios are capable. Yesterdays
crowds were kept in continuous
shrieks of merriment by the absurd
developments in which this efferves-
cent farce abounds.

has probably never had a role In
which she triumphed to the extent
she has in Mrs. Wigs OF the Cab
bage Patch" the photoplay version
of the famous story that took Amer
lea by storm a number OF years ago.
Miss Clark assumes the central role
of this well-know story. and those
who are familiar with the production
agree that II is by far one OF her
finest tcharacterizations.
Charlie Chaplin's burlesque on
Carmen" in which he is cleverly
supported by Edna Purviance, Ben
Turpin and other comedy stars. is
seen as the added attraction Of the
bill. This picture is recognized as
one OF the outstanding hits of the

BATHING COSTS &
At CONEY ISLAND
Keepers Of Houses Boost Price
From rs Cents as Crowd
Breaks Record.

NEW YORK. July I2.-it was ex-
tremely warm In the city yesterday.
The heat was felt particularly on
the East Side. SO thousands OF chill
dren went TO Coney Island from that
section, and tens Of thousands more
from other parts OF the city
With them went young men and
young women, and others not so
young, until Coney Hsland had a
record crowd. There were 3o0,000
persons at the resort and IL seemed
that every one OF them longed for
dip in the cool sea.
They ran into the Coney Island
bath house keeper, who saw a chance
to profiteer and took 1t. Usually the
price for a bathing suit and a room
is rs cents. IL you have your own
suit you pay so cents. But almost
with exception yesterday the bath
house keepers jumped their prices.
At first some charged 81. AS the
crowd increased the price went to
$50 to $i.75 and finally to 81. Many
hit upon the scheme OF packing two
or three persons in one bathroom.
or course, they got the money. Out
OF 800, 900 there were plenty who
could pay the price. But OF those
who could not pay 81 for a swim
there were thousands.
The experiences OF a man. and his
wife and three children were typical
One of the children was boy OF
fourteen, the others were girls. The
family. was neatly but plainly dressed.
They walked from bathhouse to bath
house. The man asked at each place:
"How much for fiye?"
1.-TWO dollars apiece"
''Ten dollars2 Don't you take any
thing on for children"
Nothing doing. Everybody pays
the same today. Two dollars!
Finally the little girls began to
cry. Their mother tried to calm
them and nnally said:
But we can't go in, children. It
II costs too much"
Some bath house keepers may have
to pay part OF their excess profits
to lawyers, however, IL threats male
yesterday are carried~out. Many
persons said they would complain to
the Board OF Health about the pra,-
tice of jamming several bathers In
one room. Others threatened to seek
prosecution on charges of profitecr-
ing, -.

GLEN ECHO PARK.

The feature Of the entertainment
promised the Sunday visitors was the
series of concerts by Minister'S band
and this always serves as a potent
drawing card.
In addition to the concerts the
parks entertainment list was long
and varied. That this list met with
the full approval Of the park fans
was evidenced by the way they
"lined-up" for a chance at the big
rides. a steady stream pouring into
them.
Tonight the dancers come in for a
share of attention as the big pavilion
is open week nights and a twelve
piece orchestra dispenses the jazziest
of music. ...

THE CAST

Those clever Garrickers. always
ind their forte in farce. Last night
they kept the audience in spontaneous
roars OF laughter at the situations In
The UnlIlssed Bride" IL - one OF
those farces just suited to this klnd
of weatber-4-light. breezy, and anus
ing at all times.
IL concerns the marital and imam
ciaI difficulties OF one Fred Forester
who has been caught on the wrong
side OF the market. and who Is AFRAID
that his hancee, a rather mercenary
sort OF a proposition. will "ggive MN
sort OF a proposition, will give MIN
penniless.
His one hope lies in marriage, for
his uncle always gives his nephews
n 100000 check on the day OF their
marriage.
His nancee, unwilling to take the
little gold ring until she sees the
color OF, the check. refuses TO go on
with the ceremony. In desperation
he arrapges for a mock marriage win
the stenogrhpher of his chum's father.
Chum, by the way, is generally fuli
to overfiowing with that which
stingeth like an adder and biteth Ike
a serpent" (This play, gentle reader
was written about a time prior to n
year ago the first OF this month)
Chum agrees to play the part OF
the minister, but he falls by the way
side of the club bar and sends sub
stitute. All goes merrily until the
aunt sends the newly married
couple trooping OF TO bed. Then the
fun begins. 1t is rather impossible
under the circumstances to be to-
gether, and the efforts OF the supposed
husband to leave the house, the ar
rival OF his intoxicated chum. to-
gether with the coming OF the Tilted
dancer, form a merry whirl OF laugh
able events.
All comes out rightly when 1t Is
discovered that the intoxicated chum
sent a real minister to perform the
ceremony. and Forester and the pref
ty stenographer agree that they will
let the ceremony stick.

stenographer was at all times clever

vestigated and found to be correctly
stated. The commission also states:
1T appears that there exists upon
the Cobbossee stream in Gardiner
two water powers which the petit
toner has for some time been nego-
tiating for. Owing to a misunder-
standing as to exactly what was to
be purchased. the negotiations did
not reach the final stage until very
recently. AS to the amount to be
paid for these powers, the evidence
before us warrants us in concluding
that $4,000 ID fair price from the
viewpoint of the petitioning COM

owned by a company which had to
rely upon them solely for power, and
had to operate them as the only
