RAINBOW GIRLS AT
 CAPITOL MONDAY
Snappy Keith Headliner Coming
 Here Next Week

The Keith vaudeville attraction at the Capitol for the first half of next week is Joe Small's Seven Rainbow Girls. Beauty and, youth are treasures and treasure certainly is q bag of gold. So it may be truth fully said that the bag of gold at the end off the rainbow has been found in The Seven Rainbow Girls Mir. Small describes the act as a glittering galaxy of gay goddesses gorgeously gowned in the realm of entertainment and dance. And he is right as the act has all the things claimed of it. Other acts include the Bellis Duo, a graceful and dar- ing aerial exhibition by daring man and woman; Harry Gee Flaw is a celestial imprcssionist. Harry is from China and unlike most of his fellow countrymen' who all offer gymnastics or magic on the stage. May Mckay and Sisters are like able lassies. Of course they are Scotch as the clan Mckay is as old as the heather itself. As an added vaudeville feature the Bison City Four is presented. This is the best comedy quartet in vaudeville and they have been headliners on the Keith Circuit for years.
 ''The Arab" Rex Ingraham's first Metro production since "Scara- mouche," is coming to the Captol on this bill. "The Arab" is an ex- citing story of the love of Sheik's son for the daughter of an Ameri- can missionary; the attempted mas sacre of the Christians by the gover- nor of the Turkish province; and their rescue by the Arabs own warriors.
 Ramon Novarro and Alice Terry have the chief roles, and it is said that both appear to better advantage than ever before.

NORMA TALMADGE
 IN PALACE LEADER
4Secrets," Smashing New York
 Success, Here Next Week

Norma Talmadge's screen version of the stage drama, Secrets" at the Palace six days, beginning Mon- day. has been filmed almost as it was played on the stage.
 For the first time since the evolu- ton of the cinema a stage play has been transposed to the screen in identically original form. The mooted question as to whether such transposition could be made with out alteration has at last been answered.
 Frances Marion prepared the screen script of Edgar Selwyn's smashing New York stage success, which Frank Borzage directed with Miss Talmadge and Eugene O'Brien heading a celebrated cast. Miss Marion found that the dramatic de- vices upon which the stage play re- volved could be applied as well to the screen production.
 Tn Secrets" Norma Talmadge has again for her leading man Eugene O'Brien. the most popular male sup port with whom she has ever played. The Talmadge- Brien combination was broken up a year ago when O'Brien decided to return to the stage, but public demand was so persistent that Producer Schenck was compelled to lure OBrien back to the screen.
 . The Palace orchestra under the direction of George r. Tiurtelotte will feature the incidental music for the picture. The Sunday night program will offer two fine photo plays, one presenting Hoot Gibson in Broadway or Bust"

SOusa and His Band
 Play at Lyceum Friday

With the addition of 30 minutes of jazz to his program, the slogan for the annual tour of Lieut.. Com. John Philip Sousa and his band has off cially made Try to Keep Your Feet Still" but the unofficial slogan for this particular tour-his sgd, by the way--or for any other is "Sousa, Himself, in Person (Not a Motion Picture)."
 There is only one Sousa, there is only one Sousa's band, and Sousa conducts every concert, and every number of every concert in which the Sousa organization appears. There is no post of assistant conduc- tor with Sousa's band, and if the Olympic games included an event for conductors of bands and or- chestra, Sousa without much doubt would be returned the winner. Sousa not only conduct during the ensemble numbers on his program, but also during the solos, The great majority of conductors find 1t neces- sary because of physical exertion to reNnquish the conductors stand to an assistant during these numbers,

 tions during this private screening. The picture is to be shown at the Palace the week of September 2s. There will be reserved seats and an orchestra of 12 pieces will furnish music.
 Beginning Monday the Palace will present at popular prices Norma Talmadge in "SecretS the picture success of a season at the Astor theater in New York. This will be followed by the natural colored film "Wandercrs of the Waste Land" and Colleen Moore in "rhe Perfect Flapper."
 But two weeks remain for the Poll Players at the Palace theater in Hartford. Although the com- pany was scheduled to play until November 1t has been decided that 1t shall close earlier so that mem bers may secure rests before open ing with the Hyperion Players in New Haven late in November. Arthur Howard, Edmund Abbey and Frances Williams have assured the public that they will appear with the New Haven company.
 Of the three American composers who first gave to the United States native school of operetta, John Philip Sousa alone survives. The fact suggests itself for' mention in view of Sousa's approaching roth birthday, in November, and his go- ing on his 34th tour of the country at the head of what has long been the most famous band in the world. The Big Three" of comic opera in This country in the productive de- cade from 1890 to 1900 were Sousa, Victor Herbert and Reginald De Koven. The latter died suddenly in 1919 and Herbert, too, died sudden ly in May of this year. Sousa will play at the Lyceum matinee only on FridaH September 19.
 The West Coast Studios of Will liam Fox are whirl of activity these days. Fourteen producing companies are at work and the air is surcharged with stentorian re- marks and outbursts of Camera" Cut, Lights" and hundreds of other technical outpourings to which frenzied directors are given.
 Sinners in Heaven" will be the feature picture at the Strand thea ter in New York next week while Sinners in Silk" will be played at the Capitol.
 Rumors in New York have it that Maude Adams is to return to the speaking stage in Saint Joan" when the Shaw production is re- vived. Miss Adams was recently presented with a life membership card In the Equity association, the actors union.
 Tho Bison City Four and Rain how Girls will vie for honors on the bill at the Capitol thea ter Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week. Of special in- terest is thes announcement that Bohemian Syncopaters will feature the last half of next week. This is a clever aggregation of according to advance mo- tices.

After carefully considering many requests and the advisabiity Of making a change John Contaras. manager of the Capitol theater, an- nounces that beginning on Monday of next week there will be three shows daily at this theater with continuous perform9nce from 2;45 o'clock in the afternoon until 10.30 m the evening. New Britain has been one of the few cities Of It's size n this part of the country which las not boasted of theater show ng three performances daily. Hun lreds of transients, school boys and drls and business people as well as
 esidents of Plainville, Bristol and 3erlin have requested the manage nent of the Capitol to play three
 hows daily. .....
 Under the new policy the vaude- lille will play at 2;45, 5:45 and S:30 o'clock. This will allow New Brit in people to attend the evening performance at later Or earlier . lour than at present and still see
 he whole show. There will be no ut in the length of the program
 ach show taking three hours with news reel, comedy, vaudeville and feature picture as the attractions. The new policy is to be an experi- ment and if successful plans are now being made to install a man. moth pipe organ to be played dur ing the screening of the feature pie ture and the orchestra will play for the three vaudeville shows.
 This innovation is proving an ex- pense to the management as several thousand dollars more a year will he paid out in salaries to stage hands, picture machine operators and other house help.
