DAVIS THEATRE.

Tom Mix, it is said, has accomplished in The Cyciore. which William Fox will present today and tomorrow at the Da- wis theatre. what no other film hero has succeeded in doing-he surpassed Tom Mix.
 This is q stupendous feat, as the thou sands of fans whom he has thrilled by his peerless daring in such superb Fox productions as The Speed Maniac and The Feud will attest. Reports ffeH places where this picture has been sheNH declare that Mix grips the imagination of his audiences and whips their bieed to mountain torrent velocity by his display of courage and agility.
 The story of The Cyclone, which is a tale of the Canadian Northwest Mount ed Police, deals with series of stirring episodes leading up to stunt climax that shows sSe eewhuncher star at his best. This ultra stunt was undertaken by the actor and his director after eea- siderable deliberation. Mix rejected ev- cry modification suggested with a view to his personal safety, and insisted upoa enacting the erowning episode in ali its magnificent daring.
 Colleen Moore plays opposite Mix as the coveted girl, and is a beautiful, very feminine prize fer his very masculine prowess.
 The other feature is Mary Miles Min ter in A Cumberland emanee, q t-part Realart special production.
 It goes without saving that as Easter Miss Minter has a part which displays her beauty and acting ability at it's ah- solute best. She carries with e4aAl conviction clever comedy moments or well-sustained dramatic situations. ef which many abound in this tense stefy of mountain lover. city rival and a maiden whose hand in marriage Is the prize.
 Decidedly unique is the intreduetien
 of Easter to Clayton, the city man, She is vertically cascaded into his arms

MOTOR REGIsTERING FEES
 TO BE REVISED BY STATE

Complete revision of the laws regard ing fees paid by owners of motor vehi- cles in Connecticut is now. being made by the state highway department and the state department of motor vehicles
 The new regulations, which are being drawn up under the supervision of State Highway Commissioner Chas. J. Bennett, and which will be submitted to the next session of the legislature will provide an additional revenue of $5eo,000 for the us in the upkeep of the state highways and will lessen the fee to be paid by the owner of a small passenger car and inv crease the amount to be paid by the own CT of a large truck.
 In commenting upon tn proposed new system of fees, Commissioner Stoeckel said recently that it was the object of tn etwo departments te equalize the amount of expense of upkeep of the roads by forcing each automobilist to pay according to the amount of damage his car will do to the highway within a year.
 Those in charge of making the revi- sion are working on the principle that 8 twelve-ton truck will cause more de- struction than small roadster or motor cycle and the amount of the registration fee will be fixed according to the weight and capacity of the vehicle, it was said

It is the forthcraing engagement of Tea For Three, Roi Cooper Megrue's sterling com edy hit which is presented under the management of The Selwyns.
 TsW cast which is of super exeelisMee is headed by Bert Leigh. The eonaedy wifi be seen here, exactly as it was pre- sented at Maxine Elliott's theatre, New York where 1t ran for one entire year.
 Tea For Three is brilliant Dit of writing. Critics have declared it the best thing of it's kind to come from the pen of an American playwright. Mere over, it is one of the most dramatic stories ever told on the stage.
 The strongest proof of the excellence of the attraction booked fer the DaYis is the fact that since it was first offered to the public, it has been seen by mere people than any other play of similar character. And the first unfavoFaRe criticism has yet to be uttered of 1t
 To tell the story of Tea For ThFee wo - be to deprive theatregoers of some of the pleasure in store for them. Suffice to say 1t is intensely interesting highly dramatic and withal so thoroughly hu- man that it is veritahie nothing nneFe than a slice out of real life.
