JAZZ ARTISTS ON
 BILL AT CAPITOL
Five Big Acts Promised Local
 TheatergoerS

Philanderers have one redeeming feature-they make indifferent hus- bands appreciate their own wives!
 In "l'he Fast Set" which William de Mile produced at the Paramount West Coast studio, a great lover" really saves family from disrup- ton by making love to an authors wife.
 The screen play, written by Clara Bcranger from Frederick Lonsdale's stage success, Spring Cleaning" is one of the most sparkling comedies of a love triangle.
 Betty Compson plays the charm ing young wife with fine artistry: Adolphe Menjou has an ideal part as the philanderer; Elliott Dexter plays the novelist and ZaSu Pitts is cast in the role of the social outcast. A typical de Mile ensemble supports the four featured players.
 The picture will be shown begin ming next Monday at the Capitol theater Tor three days.
 The Keith vaudeville bill will be featured by five great acts headed by Leah Warwick and her Frisco Harmonists, quintet of jazz artists who expound syncopation instru- mentally and by dancing. If you like jazz, here it is in every form. Miss Warwick offers a series of songs and dances well done. Other acts include Tower and Darrell in "Food For the Squirrels; w. s. Harvey, assisted by Madge Ander- son offering "A Room Upside Down" conceded to be the most unique Juggling and balancing act on the stage: Howard and T.uckie are clever team and present Its Hard to Fool Us"; and Pearson. Newport and Pearson, Keith headliners, re- turn again in their new offering Rhythm" which is a riot of fun. For Sunday night two features will be offered. One presenting Buck Jones in "The Arizona Romeo" and the other Wallace Beery in Unseen Hands,"
 On Thursday Zane Grey's 'The Thundering Herd" will be the attrac- tion with Lois Wilson, Jack Holt, and Noah Beery.
