TIRE PRICES
TAKE BIG CROP
Fifteen Per Cent Lower
Than Pre-War
Schedules In
1913.
ARE LOWER THAN 1910.

A careful analysis Of tire prices
indicates that they are actually low.
On May End. rubber companies an
nounced a 20 per cent reduction,
which established what 10 undoubted-
Is new level for the season Of 1921.
This reduction brings prices down to
a point 10 per cent below the pre-war
schedules as represented by the 1918
level. According to Bradstreet's In
dex. general commodity prices have
risen 20 per cent during the same
period. II is rather startling to find
that In 1920 tire prices were il5 per
cent higher than today. The lowest
point in the history Of tire prices was
in 1915.
ANY discussion Of tire prices, how
ever. is incomplete unless eompara-
tive values are considered. The
question Is: How many miles do ]
get from my tires today! And how
does this compare with what receiv-
ed in 1857 Beginning with 1915
and the war Standardization move
ment. which extended over a period
Of several years, tremendous strides
have been made in quality nd min the
mileage service Of tires. Tn extent
20 which this is true is no realized by
the mortoring public. Yet this in
crease in service Is actually measur-
able. In the first place. consider the
actual increase Ia size. For instance
cord tires made by the leading COM
panies are uniformly 10 per cent over
the rated size. Specialization in the
production and preparation Of raw
materials has been Of incalculable
benefit TO tire quality. Remarkable
progress has been made in the art OF
compromising rubber to produce the
maximum degree Of wear. These
salient factors have been supplmen-
ted By improved methods Of manu-
facturc which have resulted in a uni
formity o. quality and service abb

 OPENS AT LYCEUM
Catherine Bauer Only Member
 Who Scores
(By Herald ReIiewer.)


 The Lorne EIwyn stock company opened their pre-sumHer engagement at the Lyceum theater last evening to small sized audience. If the com- pany IS to return to this theater for a summer engagement it is hoped that several radical changes will be made in the cast. The play of last evening went over only because of the acting of Miss Catherine Bauer, the leading lady, who was showered with ap- plause when she stepped upon the stage between the acts. Miss Bauer deserves the credit of having made the show at all acceptable.
 The acting of few of the male char acters is hardly deserving of mention with the possible exception of Earl Mayne who has pleasing personal ity and n voice that carries to all parts of the house. MT. Elwyn who is the leading man with the company bearing his- name. was perhaps an actor of ability in his former days, but would be better cast in charac- ter part than in lead. Other mem bers oi the company. although un- doubtcdly doing their best, did not ap- peal to the audience of last night.
 Tho vaudeville specialtiea intro duced between the acts were decid- ing factor in putting the show across. The juggling act ig worthy of special mention and Miss Bauer was pleasing with her partner in a comedy act. The costumes worn by tho ladies of the show appeared to be old and the scen- cry was not up to the standard of other stock companies that have played here.
 The Woman in Room IT. was the
 
 teresting play. The entire action cen- tcrs around the activities of Peggy Bryant tCatherine Bauer) who is a telephone operator and who saves another woman from ruination by keeping silent certain name which politicians are looking for. The cast is as follows:

CAPITOL PARK.

All aboard for Capital park. Hart
 ford, will be the slogan on Saturday, May 2S, when Connecticut's largest and finest amusement park is thrown open to the pleasure seeking public. Thousands of feet of cement walks have been laid to insure walking com for in addition to the thousands of dollars spent in bringing new amuse ments to the park
 1t is now possible to enjoy good swim without going to the ocean beach. A swimming pool. the largest in New England will be able to take care of all who desire that sort of amusement. This beach was built at q cost of s200,000. It includes 1000 bath-houses. a hygienic laundry, a set of giant filters and a violet ray ap paratus that guarantees pure water.
 The management realizing the need of modern dance place has listened to the public demand and will open on Saturday. May 2S. the most splen- did ballroom in the East. Costly silks and sateens will drape the walls, on the ceiling will be clusters of lights throwing out soft rays through the sateen coverings. Around the walls on the floor can be found soft, inviting seats. covered with rose Te- lour upholstering.
 On each side of the stage will be murial paintings. Roseland orchestra will furnish music that will satisfy the most exacting dance patrons. Be- tween dances soft drinks can be had at the dance veranda soda fountain while those who desire a lunch or meal will find the restaurant most, convenient.
 The Capitol park management will run the restaurant this season and the food served will be the best ob- tainable. The mana cement has been fortunate in obtaining the services of a former chief of the Friars club, New York. and real service is as- sured at minimum cost.
 The coaster, merry-go-round, the whip, and the numerous old rides to- gether with the new ones will be ample enough to insure all a good time.

THE PARISH PRIEST
 DRAWS BIG AUDIENCE.

After IS years, history is repeating itself but instead of at the Lyceum theater where it was first played, Fox's theater is now presenting Ihe Parish Priest" a screen version or the famous play in which Daniel J. Scully played here almost two de- cades ago. This great play first opened at the Park theater, Boston, in January of 1900 and was such a success that it's run there was con- tinued.
 In this elaborately picturized yer sion. the character made famous by Scully is portrayed by William Des- mond who is admirably suited to take the part of the young priest whom everybody grew to love. The people depicted are simple, everyday foIk; people of the small town outlook who have elementary problems to solve. The story centers around this young priest who acts as a friend to all, rich and poor, good and bad It IS rich in the right kind of pathos, yet is not without a redeeming element of houmor. ,." ..s-
 In addition. the vaudeville head liners are The Perriree Brothers. These are old-time clowns with all of the traditional. good stunts of the clowns and with some modern stunts that have never been seen here be- fore. Another act that is a good one is the comedy playlet put on by Ed ward De Curcis and company. satan is it's name and a laugh producer 1t proves to be. Barrett and O'Neil have a light comedy number and Jack and Patricia Poole do another entertaining. singing and dancing sketch.

 ICE SKATER AT PALACE.

Bobby Mclean, the worlds cham pion ice skater, is now appearing at the Palace theater in an ice skating exhibition. MT. Mclean held the Am erican amateur ampionship from 1910 to 1917 when he turned pro- fessional and challenged Oscar Ma thiesen the Norwegian champion and holder of the European title. The race took place in Chicago in 1917 and Mclean beat the Norwegian ten out of 12 races, winning the worlds championship. Mathiesen then chal- 1enged to race him in Europe and the match was run off in Christiania. Swe- den. There MT. Mclean was in the lead when officials of the race stepped onto the course and told him he went on wrong side of pole in making a turn, thus holding him up and giving Mathiesen a half lap lead. Mclean protested and they will meet again shortly in Europe. While not skating
