Coney's Biggest Carnival
Crowd Opens Revelry
Streets Thronged With 100000
Joy Seekers ON First Night
of Annual Celebration

Yeste rday's sunshine and the in
creased service on B. r. I. trains
caused the largest crowd in the history
Of Coney Islands annual carnival to
gather there. 1t was estimated that
100000 persons were present when the
evening frolic began.
This year pleasure makers at Coney
have termed the celebration "Koney's
Komic Karnival" and everywhere plac-
ards announced this fact and also that
it was the seventeenth annual celebra-
ton.
Surf Avenue, from Ocean Parkway to
West Twenty-second Street, was blaze
Of light. AS though q snowstorm from
some multi-colored cloud had burst on
midsummer joymakers. millions Of tiny
spccks of colored confetti filled the air
until the streets were completely COW
ered.
Hundreds Of police reserves were on
hand, but not an arrest was made, and
ns the evening waned concessionaires
announced their receipts as larger by
many dollars than the combined re-
ceipts of several previous weeks.
IT was announced by the Coney
Island Board of Trade that William
Dau, master Of ceremonies in other
paradcs, would again be grand marshal
OF this years pageants.
Tonight Governor Smith and his
military staff will be on hand, As will
Mayor Hylan and city officials. and
after they have dined and toasted in
Feltman's they will ride in state along

On the Screen
''39 East" Retains Much of Its
Astractiveness i'm Transfer
to Motion Pictures
By Harriette Underhill

Seldom has a play been transferred
from the stage to the screen so nearly
intact as has "39 East" the Rachel
Crothers comedy, which is being shown
at the Rialto this week. In fact, it
shows no i'll effects whatever as q re-
suit of the operation, and seeing the
screen version is almost like seeing
the play all over again. Kathryn
Stuart has followed the stage story
very closely in making the scenario
even to using some of the stage sets,
and Of course having most of the
original cast helps the illusion.
The only one VINO is missing is
Henry Hull, and his part is played by
Reginald Denny, who has a personality
and smile not unlike our own Doug.
Fairbanks. His conception of Napoleon
Gibbs jr. is quite unlike the original,
but it is a pleasing one. Constance
Binney is sweet, allurinc, beautiful and
wholesomely natural as the heroine,
Penelope Penn. If any young and un-
tried girl deserves to be starred, then
Miss Binney does. Alison Shipworth
as the snobbish Mrs. de Mailly, who
owns 80 East and runs the boarding
house. is perfect. Miss Skipworth is
a wonderful comedienne and should
have a permanent place on the screen.
Her humor. is of the sort that the
camera catches.
The two sisters, Sadie and Myrtle,
were the same as in the original
version, only their performance was of
necessity Handicapped because their
chief claim to fame lay in the fact that
they could play 1.-The Maiden's Prayer"
as duet. Lucia Moore is again seen
as the flirtatious Southern widow. Mrs.
Smith. Her performance is good. -
Toward the end the scenario writer
juggled with the story a little, but
never once did she drop one of
the glass balls or miss count. 1t
is an extremely smoothly running per-
Robertson, the director, selected some
very attractive spots in the park for
Penelope and Napoleon to stage their
picnic. Also one is able to see Pencil
ope when she is forced to go on at
moments notice and play the prima
donna role, she being the understudy
Of course she made good!
There is an amusing scene when
Penelope, all dressed in her slaves
ropes. IS waiting IN the wings and
doesn't hear her cue, Bring on my
slave" because she is asking divine
guidance. please" she is saying, "for
the sake of mamma and papa and Bobby
and Sam and Nellie"- and the stage
manager, at his wits end, goes hunting
for her. He discovers her right in the
middle of her prayer, and knowing
stage managers as we do we could i'm
agine what he said as he showed her
out on the stage. "39 East" is de-
cided success.
There is comedy, Don't Blame the
Stork," which is a Christie, and there
fore not slapstick. 1t is also amusing
"A Painters Paradise" is Prizma col
ored picture of Brittany, and there is
the Rialto Magazine.
Grace Hoffman, the popular colora-
tura. was heard in a selection from
"Traviata," and there was violin solo
by Sascha Fidelman and an organ solo
by John Priest.

Palace Audience Greeted

Every Variety of Pop

1t was an all-star bill which attract

Palace Theater yesterday. The pro-
gram wes one of rich diversity, in
Guiding nearly every variety of popu-
lar entertainment, formal ana informal.
George Jessel appeared in his
"Troubes of 1920" musical revue. The
"trolbles" are not what you suppose.
if you expect any echoes Of the din of
campaign Investigations. international
politics, internal revenue, the housing
p1 oblem or hign prices. Jessel's trib-
ulations, which are chiefly theatrical,
corresponded to no distress in the au-
dience, which enjoyed to the full the
young showmans perplexities. The
piece carries an overcharge Of egotism
A certain amount of this quality is
allowable, for Mr.. Jessel has bestowed
on his piece what many Of his elders
in showmanship default, namely, in
telligent and humorous lyrics as we'll
as catchy tunes.
Henry Santrey and his jazz band play

things in their repertory. The band

Lew Dockstader, more amusing than
ever, discussed himself as an added
starter in the race for the White

George MacFarlane. the baritone, was
in splendid voice and sang a pleasing
repertory, including several new songs,
especially written for him.
The spectacular act of the program
was Winston's diving sea lions and
water nymphs working together in a
glass tank.
Others in the bill are Mirano Broth
ers, Oakes and De Tour, Mehlinger and
Meyer in songs, and tho Le Grohs in
paHtomimic and acrobatic novelties.

ROCHESTER,, Sept. 13.-Through the
recovery here of twelve high-prced au-
tomobiles, all of the same make, and
nearly all 1920 models, and clews to as
many more, alleged to have been stolen
in Detroit. Toledo and Cleveland, the
police believe they have unearthed an
extensive syndicate by which stolen cara
were brought here through devious chan
nels and disposed of at bargain prices.
Eleven of the cars were taken from
their new owners, notwithstanding their
protests that they bought them in good
ialth IRON secondhand dealers here.
Motor and factory numbers had been
mutilated in majority of cases, but
failure to alter the secret numbers at
tached to the engines supplied the clue

COME-ON CHARLEY. BY Thomas Ad-
Olson. Indianapolis: The Bobbs- Mer-
rill Company.
"Comc-On Charley" is a tonic for
tired nerves. 1t concerns the JOY
Gus adventures of small town
boob who has been the lodestone for
all the gold brick artists and swind-
lers within a radius of a thousand
miles. He is left a fortune of ten
thousand dollars, and the lawyer. in
a facetious way, tells Charley two
millions await him If he runs the
ten thousand up to a million. Then
matters proceed so fast that the
lawyer fears to tell the truth
Charley makes for Broadway. and
IL becomes a case Of the bitter being
bit, and the confidence men fall into
the pits that they have dug for
Charley. Charley's touch is that of
a Midas. Radium, blue fieas, horse
races, charity, all help him to get
his million, and incidentally a girl.
There is nothing deep about the
book, but it is highly recommended
for a few hours genuine. solid en-
joyment. AS series of short
stories, 1t was appreciated, and as a
play it was amusing. Now that 1t
has Been produced in book form, 1t
will undoubtedly win the same en-
thusiastic comments. "Come-On
Charley" and his financial gymnas-
tics will be appreciated after a ses-
sion of more solid reading.

Embroidery for Spring

by grouping a bunch OF French
knots together into D design. For
Instance, any plain dress of navy
tricotine would be charmed by
brick red wool knots. A conven-
tional design to outline the square
neck and short sleeves with per-
haps a bit on the pockets would
give the desired cache.
The Imagination of the designer
ran riot in a smart trotteur OF the
ever popular navy tricotine layishly
embroidered in brilliant worsted.
Purple. turquoise blue, jade green.
orange, rose, tan and scarlet were
among the colors. but so artistically
were they blended, melting into
each other, that the whole was
truly ravishing.
Among the more conventional
models, one finds a number OF trico-
tines done in black buttOnhole
twist, and very rich they are too.
A smart dress of inconspicuous dis
tinction was of tan tricotine, beau
tifully embroidered in honey-col-
ored silk.
For summer days there Is a smock
of apricot-colored crepe de chine
which owes it's loveliness to block
embroidery OF white wool outlining
the neck and forming an attractive
border around the bottom. Other
smocks of this dainty fabric are
shown in peacock blue trimmed in
beige wool. orange with brilliant
blue in bizarre effects. Thus does
the new embroidery leave it's mark
on all smart clothes for Spring.
