PARSONS HARTFORD.

That the virile. red-blooded play still holds its sway is evidenced by the notable successes won in New York by the famed Benelli drama, "The Jest" This masterful work has twice swept all New York, at Manager Arthur Hopkins's own Broadway playhouse, the Plymouth Theater, returning there last winter to repeat the triumph won some time earlier. Mir. Hopkins is now sending the play forth to visit for the first time the larger eastern cities, with the local engagement set for Parsons Theater for the half week beginning tonight, with a matinee on Saturday.
 ''The Jest" tells a fascinating story of life in the Florence of Lorenzo the Magnificent, a place and time that gives the very essence of TO- nance. The conflict is between the cruel bravo, Neri, and the subtle Giannetto, the young painted who cannot face Neri at sWord-p play, but is compelled to combat him with craft. These two typify the sharply contrasting qualities of that time-an incredible brutality and an amazing love of sheer beauty.

"CODE OF NORTHWEST"

Surcharged with physical and melodramatic thrills, and with dog for a star, Code Of the North west" which opened today at the Lyceum theater, Is an excellent en- tertainment as is "The Romance of a Million Dollars" which stars Glenn Hunter, Alyce Mills and Gaston Glass. Then too, there is the latest episode of "The Radio Detective" an ever popular serial.
 The Romance of a Million Dol lars' is a tender love story written around youth none too good boy at the start whose re- demption comes about through his desire to make good for the girl he loves and a wish to prove worthy of an old mans trust.
 Sandow, a giant police dog, oc- cupies the spotlight in Code of the Northwest" which is enacted against backgrounds in which the gripping plot Is portrayed.
 Among the high spots in the picture are the stunts performed by the dog, not the least of which is the rescue of a young girl from the brink of a deep ravine and his plunge into the interior of a burn- ing building to effect rescue.

ZANE GREY,s .FORLORN RIVER,

Fresh from the virile pen of Zane Grey comes another outdoor thriller, "Forlorn River" in which the glori- her of the west gives us a flashing glimpse of the romance heroism and villainy of the northwest cattle coun- try.
 The great army of MT. Grey's readers have already had an oppor- tunity to sample his latest piece of robust fiction, for 1t appeared serial ly just few months back in Ladies' Home Journal.
 John Waters who made his direc- torial debut with Born to the West" has transferred "Forlorn River" to the screen in all its gripping real ism and with a wealth of colorful detail, so that the photoplay is as pictorially attractive as 1t is vividly exciting. The story true to locale was filmed midst the scenic grandeurs of Zion National park and Brice Canyon In Utah.

HUSBANDS AT FAULT
So Called "Delicatessen Hubbies' Have Only Themselves to Blame, Speaker at Conventions Says.

Atlantic City, W. J. Oct. 14 LF9- ''Delicatessen husbands have only themselves to blame," declared Mrs. Anna Peterson of Chicago, at the convention of the American Gas as- sociation here today. They expect their wives in many cases to create an efficient and comfortable home out of equipment which they would not dare to introduce into their business offices.
 Mrs. Peterson said she wished she could advise all womel. to strike for modern equipment in the kitchen.
 Charming H. Cox, former governor of Massachusetts,, told the dele gates that the gas industry would have no trouble in financing its re- quirements if it follows the essen- tials of wise management and con- tinues to improve it's relations with the public.

i. O.P. DIRECTS ITS
 DRIVE AT OLVANY
Iammany Leader Takes Brunt
 Of New Offensive

Binghamton, N. Y, Oct. fl P)- Leaders of the republican state tick ct to-day were setting out on sep arate campaign trails, but both lead ing ultimately to western New York.
 United States Senator James w. Wadsworth, Jr., candidate for reel ection, who joined Representative Ogden L. Mills, candidate for gov ernor, on the speaking platform here last night, planned to continue his travels by motor bus, stopping for brief addresses at Oxford, Norwich, Sherburne and Ilion and speaking tonight at Utica. Representative Mills left for EImira by special train to speak there today and to- night.
 Senator Wadsworth last night an- nounced his opposition to any plan seeking to establish a federal de- partment of education. Represen- tative Mills splashed more of New York city's alleged adulterated rec ord fired a broadside into Tammany Hall and the direction of the state democratic party by George W. Ol- vany, it's leader, and promised a budgeted, business-like administra- ton should he be elected to the office of governor.
 MT. Mills renewed his demand upon Governor Smith for a complete investigation of the milk fraud situ- ation in New York city. Recent analysis of milk sold to 900,000 con- sumers in Bronx county, he declared has shown that "A per cent of the supply is adulterated and that the sanitary code is still being violated with impunity.
 The candidate denounced Tam many Hall as a private organiza- ton, responsible to no one, direct ing the destinies = the democratic party, and deplored the activities of it's leader, NTr. Olvany, in control ling the governmental affairs of New York city. He charged that the sachems of Tammany Hall were on the New York city payroll for S106,- 1000 a year and declared that pri- vate citizen, Nlr. Olvany, head of a private society and responsible to no one, was in charge of the democratic organization in the metropolis.
 "They even took the loose leaf city budget down to MT. Olvany's private office tS get his o. K. on it last year." asserted 1Ir Mills. Do you want your state budget taken to Mir. Olvany for his o. K? I believe you don't. I think you want a man han ding that budget who will take it direct to the people for their o. K. and that man stands on this plat form tonight"
 Mention of the budget led to the declaration of his belief that Gov ernor Smith has no conception of the real function of budget and tho promise that under republican state administration the budget would be operated as efficiently as that of the national government.
 Governor Smith has no concep- ton of the real function of a budget bureau" said Mr. Mills. T have read thousands of words of his on the subject of the executive budget, and have never seen him approach the question from any other angle save to regard it as a club with which to beat the legislature into submission"
 MT. Mills repeated his earlier cri-
