MABEL NORMAND IN
 PLEA FOR CHANCE
Asks Public to Withhold Judg- ment Till Facts Are Known

Los Angeles Jan. 5.-Three per sons are smarting under what they termed the injustice of a situation created by the shooting here last Tuesday night of Courtland s. Dimes, Denver oil operator and clubman.
 They are Mabel Normand, motion picture actress, present at the shoot .,rg; Horace 4. Greer, her chauffeur, who fired the shots; and Dimes, who was hit by two bullets.
 Miss Normand. recuperating from an operation for chronic appendi- citis, awaits at the Good Samaritan hospital the effect of an appeal she addressed last night to the American public to withhold judgment of me until all the facts are known
 Feels Injured.
 T feel that I am particularly un- fortunate in reaping most of the publicity in this terrible tragedy she declared, and 1t is unjust of the censors or anyone else 10 condemn me before they have heard my story
 Greer, who police described as "a selfconstituted hero, who shot in out
 
 failed to take seriously his efforts to rescue" her from Dimes apartment New Years night, occupied a cell in the county jail after his arraignment yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, He clings to his original declaration that a noble desire to protect the screen actress, coupled with a desire to save his own life, constituted his sole motive for pulling the trigger of Miss Nor mand's automatic pistol and sending a bullet through Dimes lung.
 As for Dimes the injustice Of the situation as it affects him, is evil denced in his statement: "I don't know why in the world that fool shot me--unless he was full of hop"
 Edna Is silent
 What Edna Purviance, the other motion picture actress present at the shooting. thinks about the course events have taken, is not revealed, she having remained silent since her recent statement admitting that she and Dimes were engaged and vet not engaged, if you understand what I mean"
 Case Is Closed.
 The case of the shooting of Court land s. Dimes is officially closed" said Assistant Captain Of Detectives Herman Cline. "The man charged with the shooting is under arrest, He had admitted he did the shoot Ing"
 Meanwhile interest in the situation growing out of the shooting shifts 10 the effect Miss Normand's appeal 10 tho public have on movements under way in various states to bar films in which she Is featured.
 At the hospital carly today, Miss Normand was reported as resting comfortably" and Dimes condition was described ''still serious but satis- factory"

 Gold Madness" is an unusual pie ture and one that should appeal to the movie fans. The lure of the fine grains of glittering dust that have called men from their homes in the cast into the wild stuetches of the far west and frozen north makes itself felt in this picture in which the mad ness for gold and wealth is the nov ing theme. Guy Bates Post, famous as the star in the "Masquerader" has the leading role. The romantic twist that the story takes is distinctive.

Twenty thousand actors appear in 'The Eternal City" a First National picture produced by George Fitz- maurice, which is scheduled to be featured next week at the Palace theater. All but dozen of them may be classified technically as '"ex- tras," but they threw themselves into the work with such feryor and en- thusiasm that some of the most re- markable mob scenes ever shown on the screen will be visible at the Pal ace theater, starting Sunday night.
 The reason is that the picture was filmed in Italy, and the extras em-

! Although if is not customary in this column to review q vaudeville act in any of the local theaters, the rule is going to be broken this week and special mention made of Gene Nor gan, who does single turn on the bill at the Capitol the last three days of this week and again does an i'm promptu number in the Cunningham and Bennett and orchestra act. Mor- gan scored in his own act but brought down the house when he favored with ad ancing number in the last act, which by the way, is one of the best acts seen here in a long time. Nor ban bubbles over with personality and this coupled with his ability as a story teller and dancer recorded for him the greatest amount of ap- plausc showered upon a vaudeville performer in New Britain. The peo- pie liked him, he appreciated it and the results were forthcoming.
 Except for the opening of the Capitol theater on West Main street there was nothing of importance to mark the 1923 theatrical season in New Britain. The year started off with the city having four play houses, the Palace, the Lyceum, FoXs and the Scenic. The first three played vaudeville and pictures while In June the Fox theater closed as the building was purchased by Contaras Bros. and Perokas. proprietors of the Palace. After two months the thea ter was opened on August 30 as the Capitol the home of Keith vaude- vile here. It was entirely renovated and presented a new and pleasing ap- pearance when its doors were again opened to the public. Since its open ing New Britain has seen many acts of high class calibre which seldom were brought here before.
 One of the notable amateur events in this city during the past season was the appearance in each of the three vaudeville houses here during the same week Of New Britain per formers. During the week of April 30 John J. Crean and John O'Brion made their debut at FoN's in a sing ing and talking number. Andrew Bas- so was on the bill at the Palace thea ter while Miss Minnie Huber appeared in an act with five other people at the Lyeeum theaier. Miss Huber is now playing in vaudeville leaving on her tour immediately after her en- gagement at the Lyeeum.
 
 Several musical concerts Of note were given in New Britain during 1923. Perhaps of the most important was the Orpheus club concert under the auspices of the Lions club on | March i. Another of importance was i the appearance Of Rachmaninoff on | March under the auspices Of the | New Britain Musical club.
 Two good acts have been booked by

Charles Doc" Breed, who books the Capitol theater in this city on the Keith vaudeville circuit, chose New Britain as the city he would visit on New Years Eve when the midnight show was given. Of the many thea ters MT Breed books he said that he gave New Britain his preference and when seen by the writer said that he was particularly well pleased with the attitude local people accept the Keith offerings. He expressed pleasure at the quiet and orderly manner in which the audience conducted itself on New Years Eve at the midnight frolic when generally the houses are considered unruly.
