CRANDALL'S-
"Never Weaken"

The new year is ushered in at Gran.
dall's Theater by a double feature bill
of splendid entertainment value. The
foremost attraction for the first three
days of the week, beginning yesterday,
Is Never Weaken" in which Harold
Lloyd is the pictured star. supported
again by charming Mildred Davis. in
this laughable subject, Lloyd devotes
his talent almost as much to the cren-
ton of thrills as to merriment. Much
of the farce action takes place on the
top of the steel skeleton Of a twelve.
story skyscraper in course of construc.
ton. At this dizzy height, the star en-
counters all sorts Of amazing Difficult.
ties in his efforts to regain terra firma.
1t is all distinctly exciting as well as
Historically funny.
The companion feature OF the early
week program is "Tricked." a tense
little drama in which the stellar role is
played with his customary viriity by
Irving Cummins. There Is probably
not another actor In silent drama who
combines in more agreeable fashion the
power of mimetic expression and the
poise Of Mr.. Cummings, and certainly
he has not often had a vehicle nc
revelatory Of his distinguished talents
as his present offering.
The bill Is rounded out by added
camera subjects Of varied interest and
tuneful pipe organ accompaniment.

Lew Talbots 1922 edition of the

its debut to capacity holiday crowd :
at the Capitol Theater yesterday.
True to name and reputation the
Lid Lifters" lifted the lid from more
clean fun, snappy music, catchy songs
and classy dancing than has beer
seen at the Capitol in many weeks.
Bert Bertrand, one of the cleverest
Hebrew comedians of the burlesque
stage, heads the production and a:
Yesterdays performances he made
hilarity his objective and kept things
moving at top speed at all times.
And speed is essential to Hello Mars
because it takes the audience from
the earth to Mars and back in the
incredible time of two hours and u
fah. incidentally the trip provides
the opportunity for many novel stage
effects, much beautiful scenery and
scores of elaborate costumes.
But Bert Bertrand is not the whole
show. Assisting him are Dotty Bates,

STRAND
''Seven Virginia Bellies"

Patrons OF vaudeville and the photo
play, as presented at the popular
Strand Theater, have much to look
forward to in the year 1922. II the
New Year bill as offered for the cur
rent week may be taken as an
example Of what is to follow. Both
portions of the program are Of an ex-
ceptionally high order and at no point
failed to pleace the capacity audi
ences attending.
The Seven Virginia Bellies" a
septet Of soloists and musicians in
an artistic melange Of classical, popu.
lar and old favorite selections, head
line the vaudeville half Of the bill,
giving in rapid succession a series Of
instrumental and vocal solo and en-
semble numbers, each one Of which
brought well deserved and enthusiast
tic applause. Every member of the
company is a talented artist, and the
girls, in beautiful colonial costume
surrounded by a gorgeous black and
silver stage set, make q picture that Is
unusually pleasing to the eye.
Alvin and Alvin. two superb expon.
ents Of equilibrism, open the bill with
some sensational and thrilling aero
baltic feats. Mcintyre and Holcomb
follow with "Melodious Discords, "
which proved to be exactly the OPP
posite, the pair making one Of the de-
cided hits" of the show with their
popular and chatter songs. Homer
Miles & Co. next offer a clever and
humorous playlet entitled THE Rough
Neck" the story Of which, aside from
its amusing features, carries moral
punch. Burns and Klein complete
the bill as "Dispellers Of Gloom and
Remorse," both the boys acting up
to their reputation in fine style and
sending everyone away happy.
On the photodramatic portion OF
the program Pola Negri makes her
appearance in her newest production.
THE Polish Dancer" her role being
one that is entirely different from
those she has previously portrayed.
She is seen in the part Of a peasant
girl who runs away from her parents
to win fame on the stage. She sue
ceeds. but In so doing wrecks the lives
Of many men, being finally conquered
herself only to apparently lose the
one man she loves.
The program Is rounded out by
several short subjects, showing care

numbers arranged by Arthur j.
