Aa Hyde in the film yer sion oi "Dr. Jeykll and MT. Hyde" showing at Fox's the first three days of this week, the transformation that he undergoes from the handsome debonaire "JekyH' to the repulsive beast-like "Hyde"Tis nothing short of marvellous. This is the first time this picture has shown in this city and is one of the best heavy dramas ever produced. The story, from the pen of Stevenson, shows the eternal struggle oi good and evil in man.
 One of the most interesting, con fusing and baffling acts seen in vaude- vile is ''The Vanishing Woman" tip top illusion act heading the bill this

 "Eleanor Rundle!' she said making the name an exclamation and a ques- tion in one. So you have come back! We must have been neigh bors all summer without knowing it.'
 "Yes, isn't it -touching?" the wom- an retorted, and then she fixed her still brilliant black eyes. sole remnant of the beauty that was once hers, upon Robert Savarin.
 "You never used to be a stingy
 fraid cat, Lil,' she said with the laughing, sneering insolence which her type considers audacious, fas- cinating wit. Of course, I'll admit he's terribly handsome"
 Robert Savarin's face did not flush, but his eyes showed his anger and embarrassment at this outrage ous little speech. Lillian, however, was as cool as though the woman had uttered the most banal platitude. .. ~"I always have handsome friends, Eleanor she said evenly. And am glad to exhibit them and have them find favor in the eyes of a con- noisseur like yourself. Mrs. Gra- ham, Mrs. Rund1e and MT. Savarin.'

Experience" as production is one og exceptional pictorial merit while the story most assuredly has a charm all it's own. Hartford's own Richard Barthelmess. who plays the leading role of youth, in this feature at the Capitol for the first half. of the week, has for support a company of won- derfully pretty and gorgeously attired girls, one of the number being Edna Whtaton, recently hailed as the most beautiful girl in New York. Beauti- full and artistic are the settings as the story is told of the young mans en- counter with personified Love, Hope, Pleasure, Temptation and Excitement. The experiences of the Primrose Path ere wonderfully portrayed.
