TRIANON OFFE RS
 HAWAIIAN DANCE
Frank PaCkard's Story, "PaWned," Is Picture
 Feature

The Trianon this week offers an ex- ceptional photoplay, "Pawned," by Frank Packard and the Hawaiian sernaders of singers, dancers and musicians. The Hawaiian company is composed of fine celebrated musi- cians-three men and two women dancers.
 Princess Lei one of the featured dancers, is IT years of age and excels in American eccentric dancing. Princess Kalua, the other female dancer, excels in native Hawaiian dances and is a celebrated hula hula dancer.
 The special photoplay production, "Pawned," was made under the per- sonal supervision of J. Parker Read Jr. Advance reports on the photo- play warrant the statement that mo- ton picture patrons who are fond of mystery, thrills, and action will over look bet if they fail to see this of fering.
 "Pawned" is from a story by Frank L. Packard. among the best known of Americas writers of current fic- tion and especially dear to motion picture devotees because of the sue cess of lis The Miracle Man" as a photoplay. The tale is frankly melo- drama-but melodrama done in such a way as to make the picture stand out among the really worth while and artistic productions of the screen.
 The title comes from a series of pledges, either willingly or unwilling ly. made by the principal characters. One pawns his life to the service of an international gambler. Another pawns his soul to drugs, another to drink, and the heroine pledges her hand in marriage as loveless bride to save the life of the man she loves. One needs no further information to convince them that the working out of such tangled skein is Likely to re- suit in intense and vivid photoplay action.
 Tom Moore and Edith Roberts are featured in the interpreting cast

HAROLD LLOYD IS ST RAND FEATURE
"Why Worry?" Is Famous Stars Latest Pathe
 Comedy

Motion picture stars frequently fall into the rut, because they consistently follow the same line of story, and the same type of characterization They never deviate because they fell that the public demands them In certain type of picture.
 Harold Lloyd has proven the fallacy of this belief. Lloyd has gone ahead all the time because he has never established himself in any certain type of picture Because his au- diences never know what to expect from him, and don't worry because they know he always gives them something that is worth while.
 In "Why Worry" his latest Pathe rlaudits and the feature attraction at the Strand all next week, Lloyd again pursues his own theory that to mix them up is to serve the public best. Because one likes roast beef is no reason why it should be served him for every meal. And for the same motive. there Is no reason why a star should enact a certain type of picture continuously because he hap pened to achieve great success in one of them.
 "Why Worry is as unlike any pie ture Harold Lloyd has made before as any two things could be. It is a South American story, stroES in farce but with an ever present vein of satire that should prove delightful to the American audience which does not like it's entertainment too serious.
 It is the biggest picture in Lloyd's category, from the point of produc-
 tion. Big sets, huge crowds, ana much fighting add to it's production values. Yet above all these stands o1S the character of Lloyd. as the boy who has neught to worry him but imaginary ills Another outstanding figure is Jofn Aasen. Eight feet nine and a quarter inches of Aasen stands i out on the screen. He is the world s l biggest man.

THOMAS ME |GHAN ||SS Is CAPITOL STAR
Norma TaImadge In "SmiIin' Through" For Wednesday
 And Thursday

The hardest task he ever faced, according to Thomas Meighan, Para mount star, confronted him during the filming of "Our Leading Citizen, lis latest Paramount picture. In fact, it made him so nervous that lie did rot regain his combosure for a week
 And what do you suppose it was? Not jumping off a hundred foot cliff, carrying a leopard on his shoulder or struggling with mob of infurl- ated ruffians. No!
 It was to make a speech before a woman's club! It wasn't a real club, either, but just a screen gathering in one of the scenes from Our Lead ing Citizen,' which will be shown at the Capitol Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
 T was nervous" the star admitted land when Alfred Green, the direc- l felt tongue-tied. Finally I launch- ed forth into diatribe concerning a subject that is pretty close to my heart. The speech was supposed to be an argument in favor of a public playground in the town. That made it relatively easy. But I'm still shaky."
 In common with many other play CTS, MT. Meighan hates to make speeches before his friends or CO., workers nor can he explain this curious antipathy. His wide stage experience precludes the possibility of ordinary stage fright.
 For Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Capitol offers dainty Norma Talmadge in the picture which made her famous "Smilin' Through one of the most thorough ly delightful pictures of her career. Friday and Saturday the Capitol of ters Bebe Daniels in "The Speed Glrl' mighty, thrilling, speed pie record breaking automobile. This picture contains excellent action and story, and Walter Heirs does some excellent comedy work as her secre- tary.

THE FOOL" "SCORES
 HUGE SUCCESSES
Much Talked Of Play Comes To Jefferson Theatre On
 October 22

Plays with big ideas are bigger than producers. Charming Pollock found when offering "The FooI' to the theatrical magnates. who, with the single exception of Archie Selwyn, de- clined to have anything to do with it. The other managers backed their judgment, which as wrong, and lost again as they have often done before.
 This play with a big idea has proved to be power in the theatre, since plays are measured by man agers solely by how much money they can draw, art for arts sake ha ing died with the ancients. The ooI is the most popular play of the day in the booking offices and among local managers all because it is getting the money for them, thanks to MT. Pol lock and tn, Selwyns, the producers. It wouldn't be getting big money if the public, too, did not think The Fool" a great big success, and no play is a financial success unless the public pays to see it. That is just what the public is doing evo where "The Fool" is presented. Seven com panies are reducing the reserve in thousands of pocket-books from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Maine to Texas. There won't be much money left for those attractions that will follow "The Fool" not inn mediately anyway, as indicated by the advance sale for the forthcoming en- gagement at the Jefferson for the en- tire week, commencing Monday, Oc- tober 22. Matinees Wednesday and Saturday.
