The band concert given on The
lawn in front of the Bank Monday
evening attracted one of the largest
crowds that has been in town for
some time. The band boys looked real
natty in their new uniforms and it did
not require trained musical ear to
note the wonderful improvement in
their playing. One thing only detract-
ed from the perfection of the evening
the lack of street lights. Isn't it
about time the street Lighting fund is
completed SO we caan get back iron,
the crossroads to the town atnos-
phere again?

VALENTINO AT
 PALACE SUNDAY
'UnSuarded Women' Nil Be
 Seen ThurSy Friday and Sat.

Monsieur Beaucaire," the new Paramount picture directed by Sid- ney Olcott. which marks the return of Rudolph Valentino to the screen, will begin a four-days' run at the Palace theater, starting Sunday The world and his wife-particu- larly his wife-will see in this sim pie announcement visions of film feast for which their movie appe- titeS have been hungering these many months
 It isn't difficult to understand why this photoplay is awaited with such keen expectations. Aside from the tremendous personal popularity of Valentino to whom millions pay tribute as the greatest lover of the silver sheet, film fans who have read Booth Tarkington's immortal story, with its romantic, colorful and specr tacular background of the court of King Louis XIV Of France, recognize it's remarkable pictorial possibilities. It is a story that thrills the imag- ination, kindles the emotions. and satisfies that fundamental human desire for love, beauty, laughter and truth.
 There is something vital and ap- pealing about the character that Valentino portrays - the brave hearted, impetuous Duke, who de- fies the King of France and goes to England disguised as a barber. It is part that brings into play all those robust dramatic qualities that
New Britain herald., 1924-09-20

Valentino possesses and which have made him one of the most faseinat- ing and compelling screen stars of today.
 No effort, no expense was spared to make Monsieur 'Beaucaire," from an artistic standpoint, "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" The gorgeous and historically cor rect costumes were designed and made in Paris The glitter of gold and silver brocade, the sparkle Of diamonds and sapphires the flash of jeyellcd swords-all the beauty and splendor and brilliancy of the most magnificent court in the worlds most romantic period, are pictured with amazing fidelity. It's history come to life In all its vivid ness and grandeur!
 We realize the painstaking care that went into the making Of this production when we consider the supporting cast with which Director Sidney Olcott has surrounded Mir. Valentino: Bebe Daniels, as the Princess de Bourbon Cont; Lowell sherman, as King Louis XIV: Lois Wilson, as the queen; Doris Kenyon, as Lady Mary; Paulette Duval, as Mime. Pompadour; John Davidson, as Richelieu; Ian Maclaren. Oswald Yorke, Flora Finch and about 50 others equally well-known.
 And here's a parting word of sug- gestion. come early if you. want to avoid the rush!

'IzzY HAS GOOD
 OPENING IN N. '.
MiddIelnaSS and Locke Are in
 he Cast

Robert Middlemass of this city, a sterling actor, and Ralph Locke, formerly a leading man and play or of "heavy" roles with the AL fred Cross players, are starred in "tzzy", as has been told before in these columns. The production opened the week in New York city at the 44th street theater and here's what the dramatic critic of the New York Times has to say after viewing It's premier:
 The new offering at the Broad hurst theater Is somewhat pre- cipitate but frequently amusing en- tertainment entitled 'Izzy". It owes its origin to series of stories by the late George Randolph Ches- ter; the playwrights, Mrs. Bradley and Mr., Broadhurst, have fash toned therefrom rather hurried and crude comedy of the motion pictures. It is, In effect, new version of the familiar Success" play, in which the hero, by many bits of shrewdness and dogged determination, fights his way to the top of the ladder.
 Its chief value as entertainment comes from the presence of Jimmy Hussey in the cast. Not even his emergence from vaudeville and the revues Is considered a sufficiently impressing event to dislodge that persistent Jimmy; no arrogant James" replaces it. Mir. Hussey is an engaging comedian and at times a properly pathetic one; he can do a great deal with line that is just fair, and last night he did. When, as occasionally happened, fe came across good one, he made the house rock.
 It is a play that makes no pre- tense to reality-either in the writ ing or the production. The ma- hogany walls in the office of the Magnificent Pictures Corporation are made to tremble with the slightest breath, and the situations of which the play is composed are equally unstable. No time is wasted by the playwrights in tedi- ous preparations; the characters are rushed pellmell into situation. Does a film director require an- other S10,000 with which to com- plete a picture7 Here are the hero's five comedy uncles, brought to the scene with all possible pIausibility, 10 provide the money. In the meantime the eager youth buys screen rights and resells at huge profit, launches an actress, shows up a crooked general manager, etc, etc. Now and then a little of 1t was entertaining in familiar vein, but one presently longed for lit- tie more conviction even at the ex- pense of incident.
 Aside from Mr. Hussey the play reveals no acting of importance. Rut it should be mentioned in passing that one youth, who shall

THE ENCHANTERS
 CAPITOL FEATURE
Gloria Swanson in "Society.
 Scandal" Feature Picture

The big attraction at the Capitol for the first half of next week is The Enchanters," pretentious musical offering with nine beautiful girl musicians who are wizards when it comes to jazz music. They play variety of instruments and carry a carload of scenery and eff fects and boast of gorgeous dis play of costumes The offering will make a big hit here and lovers of jazz will find delightful entertain ment.
 The Dancing DuBrowns will offer their sensational whirlwind dances staged and costumed very prettily. Laura Ormsbee and Co.,, will also be well liked as this offering has been a big hit on the circuit for some time and although new to this city they will win instant approval Mary and Ann Clark will be remem- bercd from playing here last season when they made decided hit with the audiences. These two girls are real comedians and they have some rev and original witty batter.
 Gloria Swanson returns to her wardrobe in her newest Paramount picture, "A Society Scandal" at the Capitol on this bill, an adaptation rf Alfred Sutro'S stage success, "The aughing Lady"
 This picture, following as it does Iuzap and "The Humming Bird" IS a direct contrast to the two in me matter of clothes. Miss Swan- son wears 14 different gowns in this rroduction, while in "The Running Bird" she has but four outfits, one

 And that's not all-with each of the stunning gowns Miss Swanson has special coiffeur that will make tln women-foIk green with envy.
 Besides being a highly dramatic story, this new picture is fashion lc,iew of the highest order.
 It's a story of New York high so- ciety life --- that side so carefully concealed from the publican ex- pose of the private life of the Four Hundred. 4.
 Of especial interest to many thea tcrSoers is the announcement that on next week Thursday for three Jays the famous and noted Ben Welch will be the big attraction. A star for many years, Ben Welch is now in vaudeville, and the creator of the Jewish comedian is still go- InS strong. ...-
