NERO. FOX'S GREAT
 SPECTACLE. MONDAY
Turning Of Rome Is Big Feature
 Fine Sunday Program

Fox's ushers in another big week in movie exhibitions tomorrow night with the presentation of two features, one Married People," featuring Ma bel Balltn, tells story of domestic trials and tribulations that all but end in the divorce court; the other, ",The Yelled Woman" fast moving story of love and mystery. It concerns the romance of a girl whose lover deserts her for another. The passing years show the error of his ways and the climax is gripping. Monday sees the opening showing of Nero" while the silent Call" a drama of love and wolf love, will be shown the last of the week. The usual vaudeville bills will be shown, that on Monday fea- turing a wonderfully fine quartet The Four Longshoremen. Possessed of fine voices, this quartet sings some mighty attractive selections and their harmonizing is exceptionally pleasing
 Tho other acts are equally good assuring the patrons of a we'll balanc- ed program. Little Dolly Dumplings one of the liveliest juvenile acts on the stage, is back again with an en- larged act This time it is Dolly Dumplings and Ginger, the ginger adding spice to the program. The Wyatt Sisters have a catchy bit and Walt and Walters have a novelty stunt that has gone over big at every the ater in which it has shown.
 The widest imagination can scarce ly coniure up the fabulous and extra vagant excesses of the reign of the tyrant Nero. emperor of Rome. He did things never before heard of and no emperor who followed him has dared to duplicate his amazing feats. Yet on the screen, in the wonderful photo- play Nero" one can see the worst eX cesses for which Nero was noted. They are shown in all their devilish ingenuity. The director, before film ing this picture. made an exhaustive study of the pleasures and crimes of the emperor so the spectator can see Rome as it was in the time of Nero.
 The picture abounds in spectacular scenes. but the burning of Rome is it's principal sensation and judging from reports, the. producers, have sue ceeded in overlapping anything here tofore shown as fire scene.
 With the exception of the parts of Nero, Poppacea and Marcia. all the players. and there are thousands, arc native Italians, where the picture was actually taken.
 What is declared to be one of the most picturesque and vivid dramas of the sea ever screened will be shown at this theater on April 2, and when Richard Barthelmess and Dor cthy Gish will appear in their latest success Fury"

horses are much in evidence in the picture and it is at horse show, where the leading lady has entered several of her favorites, that she meets House Peters. the leading man. It is when her horse wrests cup from one of his favorites that he be- gins to get interested. This is the be- ginning of whirlwind courtship that culminates in marriage amid all the splendor and magnificence that could he expected from man whose mill lions count him among the leading men of the nation. It is later that the story develops it's more serious side-picturing the young wife as a social butterfly whose wings are broken on the wheel of Jealousy, rev elry and intrigue. It is a picture big in theme, thrilling in dramatic action and charming in it's emotional appeal.
 Switching from it's musical comedy policy for a week at least, the Ly- ceum next week will present an aug mented vaudeville program featured by the premier local appearance of Mir. and Mrs Harold Schwarm-- Schwarm being the man who mas queraded as the prince and heir to the French throne. He will appear in several of his characteristic court uniforms, while his wife supports the act with dancing sketch.
 For the last half of the week ono of James Oliver Curwood's best known Country and the Law will be the picture. This is a great picture of the northwest, famed for it's wild country daring Royal Mount cd Policemen and his bold men. The story is a red-blooded one, filled with thrilling action and mellowed by a love story that is sweet and tender.

Because New Britain is q compara- lively small city and offers few op- portunities to the aspiring artist or musician, Francis May, son of MT. and Mrs. Louis May of S44 Broad street, left here one year ago in Jan uary for New York where he has since begun to make name for him self as an accomplished uolinist.
 A clipping from the Greenwich (Conn.) News and Graphic of re- cent date contains an account of Il concert given by MT. May.

Mir. May is a skilled musician and is master of the instrument. As prelude, he played 'Cavatine,' by Raff, and for the offertory Alteration by Borowski The postlude was Souvenir by Drd- la. He also played an obligato for a solor rendered by Miss Helen Graves, soprano soloist of the church.

NEWyY NOTES OF THE SPOKEN STAGE THE SILENT DRAMA AND MUSIC

Because "Systcm,' a play written by Rev. Dr. George w. c. Hill. pastor of the South Congregational church, proved such success at two per- formancesi last week 1t was repeated at the church chapel theater last evening before another large au- dience.

 It is only matter of weeks or months in producing a comedy photo play, but Pathe's novelty offering.
 'The Ropin' Fool" starring Will Rogers who is also star of the Zieg- field Follies, is the result of thiry years hard and constant practice. 4 "It was this way" Will Rogers said. f"My hobby has always been | aYhrowin' trick lasso stunts and I've hssn practicing for thirty years. T. suddenly got the idea to make this comedy, The Ropin' Fool,'s and fea- lure my rope tricks, because I knew if didn't get lem registered on eel. 7 luloid before long I'd be too durned 1 old to ever do it."
 And the result is the picture.
 But The Ropin Fool' not only shows the Cowboy comedian throw- ing rope around his head and per- forming phenomenal feats with his lariat but also shows them unusually clear by means of the slow motion camera. e This special camera slows the rope action down to eight times less than normal speed and brings .3 out every move of Will Rogers and every movement of the fascinating rope work. 7s atfs 9s
 When Rogers began work on the picture, he determined that his rope, work should stand out clearly. and to do this he made all the sets" that were to be used as a background of a dark hue, so th.t the white washed" rope would be entirely vis- ible to the eye. That he was rewarded for his tireless efforts can be Seen, as each particular rope 3"stunt'' he attempts registers amazingly well on the motion picture screen. atf
