DOROTHY MACKA|LL
 AT THE CAPITOL
"just Another Blond" Really
 Rather Funny and More

A thrilling airplane crash-an un- usual trip through Coney Islands famous Luna Park, showing the big amusement place from the front end of -the-chute and a roller coaster-an excellent cast of young players-settings that are far from ordinary and some of the most unique shots that have ever been shown on the screen.
 Those are among the outstanding features of First Nationals Just Another Blonde" which comes to the Capitol theater with Dorothy Mackaill and Jack Mulhall and Will liam Collier, Jr,, in the second leads.
 It is a real piece of entertainment.
 A great deal of the picture was filmed at Luna Park, Coney Island, which was turned over to Produc- tion Manager Al Rockett for use in the picture. As a result there are scenes that could never have been placed upon the screen otherwise. And for those people who have never seen Coney Island this feature alone is worth the price of admission.
 In the selection of Dorothy Mac kaill for the featured feminine role, First National has shown great wis dom, for it is role that is ideally fitted for this blonde beauty who not so long ago came to America to dance in one of Ziegfeld's shows in New York.
 Miss Mackaill is pictured as a dance hall hostess at an amusement park. And she, :s no one else, has the personality to put over such q role.
 Other films include the Capitol News, Acsop's Fables and a Jimmy Dooley comedy.
 Just Another Blonde" will be shown twice Sunday with the second show beginning at S:30. There will be continuous shows daily with the feature showing at 2:45. 4:45, 7:OO and 9:05.
 On Thursday double features will be offered. One will present charm ing Corinne Griffith in "Infatuation" and the companion feature will of- fer You'd Be Surprised"
 Coming attractions at the Capitol are Pauline Frederick in Devils Island" . drama of the famous
New Britain herald., 1926-12-11

Here it is her business to coax or cajole the male customers into de- posting a jitney in the house cof- fers for the privilege of dancing with her and hence the name. man bait" Kenneth Thompson plays op- posite the star and Douglas Fair banks Jr., has good part. In this brilliant little comedy drama 1t is an alluring bit of black court plas- ter, cut into a beauty mark. that proves the little dancing girls chief lure.
 The last remaining frontier of civilization in this country is the background for King of the Pack" for the action takes place amid the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee, a region people dby mountainers who recognize no law but of their own making.
 The story has to do with a girl who is dreadfully abused by her stepmother at the death of her fath- CT and her sole friend and compan- ion is her dog. Running away from home, it is her canine friend who becomes her constant defender and several are the thrilling rescues eff fected by this dog. One of the big scenes comes to a climax with big fire and the dog, leading a group of boy scouts to the rescue is an eXcit- ing event.
 Starting on Thursday the pictures will be 'The Midnight Limited" with Gaston Glass and Wanda Flaw ley, and "The Dice Woman" star ring Priscilla Dean.
