 Among the flowers of the stage which deserve to enter the class of perennials is Rose Marie" which opened a three day engagement at Parsons theater Hartford. last evening. Here is a delightful en- tertainment combining music. com edy and heart throbs in their pro- per proportion while delightful story of the victory of love is un- folded. Then too, there is excellent dancing which gives balance to the program, dancing which is not soon forgotten by those who attend.
 The company playing at Parsons was welcomed back as old friends by the first nlghters.' In the cast are three of the principals who con- tributed so generously to the suc- cess of the play when it was pre- sented during the week of February | S. They are Paul Donah, Houston Richards and Frank Harrington. MT. Donah has a pleasing voice and 1 stage presence. MT. Richards offered 1 his never-to- c-forgotten interpreta- tion of Hard Boiled Herman" It is doubtful whether any comedian cn the stage today could so anus i ingly portray this character. MT. Harrigan is again in the role of Rose Marie's" excitable brother.
 Miss Ethel Louise Wright appears as Rose Marie" She is vivacious young person who won her way into the hearts of the audience last night Her voice is true and sweet but not as powerful as others who have played the part.

COAST GUARD FMM-LYCEUM


 "Perils of the Coast Guard" with Cullen Landis, Dorothy Dwan and Jimmy Aubrey In snappy roles, is the top notch feature now being shown at the Lyceum on a bill which likewise includes Alice Joyce, Don- aid MacLagen and Give Brook in "The Passionate Adventure" and the second episode in the new serial, The Radio Detective" that mystery drama in which Craig Kennedy, Ar thur B. Reeves fiction sleuth in the chief role aided by Boy Scout units
 In "Perils of the Coast Guard there is well defined romance which starts with the rescue of a lovely young girl by a coast guard captain. Their consequent wedding brings forth family dissension which is not smoothed up untn later when the young officer rescues the girls uncle in a spectacular storm at sea.
 "The Passionate Adventure,' with a London postwar background, deals with a young husband whose wife really does not appreciate him until she finds that another woman has fallen in love with him. The ensuing scenes and the working out of this rather difficult situation are both interesting and reasonble.
 Silence" H. B. Warmers most notable stage success, comes to the Lyceum Sunday evening in the movies. Mir. Warner himself plays the leading role in this picture as he did on the stage

CAPITOL COURTESY

One of the outstanding features to be quite noticeable with the opening of the renovated Capital theater is courtesy coupled with service to- wards patrons. When the patron pays for his admission into the thea ter, he or she first approaches the cashier and obtains the ticket and you will find that the courtesy and service does not end there but is carried on In the inside, during the performance, and until the patron leaves the building.
 All employees of this theater are trained to render the highest degree of courtesy and service with their untiring energy to make our patrons comfortable while enjoying our pro- grams. This feature Is just as i'm portant phase of the operation of a theater as the program, music, or any other item that comprises the management of a theater.
 More about the Capitol will ap- pear in this column tomorrow.

99 YEAR OLD CABBY IS
 TALKAlIYE ON LONDON
Declares With Force That the Old Town Is Not What it Used
 To Be.

London. Sept. 10 P}-The old town is not what it used to be. as far as those who use cabs In London's streets are concerned in the opinion of William Kentish, the capitals eldest cabby. Kentish Is 99 years old and says he ought to know what he is talking about.
 When I first started driving two generations ago." he said, you didn't get crooks and thieves masquerading as ladies and gepelt- men. Gentlemen really were gentle men in those days and ladies were ladies.
 Some of the Kentish gentlemen, however, were rather hot of temper. The Marquis of Waterford was one of the most famous men about town in my youth. Once he fought pal of mine for his fare and thrashed him soundly. Then he paid his fare and gave a good pummelling to a spectator who had appeared to be too interested in the brawl with the cabby.
 Kentish, who Is known as Lord Savernake" and "Old Brickdust,' ' lives in two small rooms over a stable In Kilburn with his wife. She is known as the Grand Duchess of Kilburn."

most remarkable creations of the theater world and richly deserves the reception 1t receives wherever it is seen.
 Two fascinating song numbers are Rose Marie" and Indian Love Call"
 The principals are ably supported by large chorus of male and fe- male voices and symphony or chestra does its share in making the show the success 1t Is.
 The book and lyrics are by Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein, 2d. The music is by Rudolph Friml and Herbert Stothart. The staging, worthy of special comment Is by Paul Dickey.
