STAGE AND SCREEf'

Tho recent announcement that Messrs. P. F. McDonough, ". r. Farley and George Levitt may erect a modern theater building on the site of the South church parsonage on Washington street has occasioned no little comment about the city, and especially those who are inter ested in the thcater and movies,
 Whether or not a theater will he built is at the moment problemati- cal to those on the outside; but 1t does furnish no little material for gossip. The gossip runs the range of the type of theator to the firm 10 which it will be rented when com pleted.
 According to those who profess 10 be familiar with the theater sit nation. they are but three principal firms that would be likely to come into the city and rent such thea ter. One is the Famous Players company, another is the B. r, Keith company and the third is the Mar GUS Locw company. Of these. it is reported the either the Famous Players or Locw would be most likely 10 rent a theater here.
 All this however. is purely spec Clation, it must be understood, but at the same time it is known that

 Co.," at Palace, Hartford

After making their escape from a town where they "cracked" the Ma tional bank, the two yeggs meet on the train a millionaire and his in tended half-wit son-in-laW. whom the former is taking to a health farm. The millionaire takes a liking 10 Dick, one of the crooks, and tells him the secret of his success, which is pure bluff, with q capital B, Dick learns quickly, but he is not q natural crook, and in the end proves tO be the hero and manages to cap ture the charming girl from the youthful nincompoop.
 In Easy Come Easy Co.," which will be presented by the poli Play CTS at the Palace theater, Hartford, all next week. Owen Davis again demonstrates his vast versatility as playwright and his keen perception Of the tendencies of public tastes.
 Mir. Davis graduated from Harvard and then wrote plays ranging from i Bertha. The Sewing Machine Girl" Up to the solemnity of 'Icebound'. which captured the Pulitzer prize ! several years ago as the best Ameri- can play of the year,
 In Easy Come, Easy Go' he pro vides an irresistibly Imaginable enter tainment which steps emphatically away from the plays Of the sex vogue. It is all about the absurd ad- 1 ventures Of two safe-crackers who seek refuge in sanitarium to es- cape the police.
 Here is a. threc-act farce about two crooks and their invasion of q sanitarium where they find tompor- ary refuge from the police, and one of them, who isn't a crook at heart, finds the only girl,
 The piece opens in a Pullman smoker. The two crooks take the train at Chester. Mich. carrying the swag which they obtained from the First National bank Of Chester
 Before the train pulls away, a da- tective boards it. He announces 10 the two crooks and two other oc- cupants of the smoker, that when the train reaches Detroit every pas eenger will he questioned, a if is known the bank robbers are aboard.
 As thn train approaches the town in which the sanitarium is situated, the two original occupants of the smoker tell the detective they ar" leaving the train there to enter the health resort. Incidentally, the mention that once a man has en- tered the place, he is as cloistered as q nun.
 When the train stops. the crooks follow the legitimate patients from the train to the hospital.
 For the rest. tho piece moves quickly and satisfactorily through ! eXcruciatingly funny incidents. The situations, naturally. give full play to Davis ability at humor. There is also an excellent love story, and plenty of drama.
 The Poli Players this year con- sists of the following players: Mary Ann Dentlar, Jay Holler, Edward Abbey. Waiter Weeks. Eddie I,ati- mer, Jay Ray. Arthur Griffin. Joseph Moran, Frank Ambosi, Dorothy Russell Lord, Edna Earl Andrews, {! Elaine Temple. Bernard J. Steele is the director.

JON CHANEY IS
 AT THE PALACE
One Of the Best Is Featured for
 New Britain Patrons

Through years Of experimentation, Lon Chaney. famous film actor and picture star has perfected the art of motion picture character makeup. Cnaney's ability as makeup artist was first impressed on the minds of millions of picture fans with the playing Of tho Miracle Man. Then r2mn The Blizzard, The Penalty, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The Monster and most recently his fam- ous role in The Phantom Of the Opera.
 Before he began work in "The Tower Of Lies" Chaney's makeup was subjected 10 the inspection of three alienists who agreed that he had conceived makeup that gave all the visible facial indications Of the dementia with which the char acter he portrays is afflicted. The mailman has an expression of cum ming that cannot be mistaken, while of milder form such as Chaney'S portrayal shows his affliction in an expression piteous and at the same time appealing to the holder.
 Clancy might we'll be cited as an axample of the heights to which a great character player may ascend. Through the usc of makeup Clancy has been able to interpret a variety Of roles which tho average character actor could never hope 10 portray. In fact his adroitness with makeup has resulted in his recognition as a master in the art. No other char acter actor has been able to ap- proach his work with any real de- gree Of success and very few had the tomeritv to even attempt an imi- 'ation of his artistry.
 The Tower of Lies is screen adaptation from Selma Lagerlof's The Emperor of Portugalia. Lon Chaney Is supported by Norma Shearer who will be remembered for her remarkable portrayal in The Devils Circus. The supporting cast includes William Haines, Claire Mcdowell. Ian Keith.
 The companion feature on this program which will remain for three days is Charles Ray in Bright Lights. It has been a long time since Charles Ray has appeared in q part that offered him such an op- portunity as does that of Tom Cor bin. As the numbering awkward

young farmer he exhibits the typical Ray character and his imitation of a man of the world Is priceless. There is one scene in which Ray appears alone that is one of the most perfect exhibition of pantomime ever screened.
 Pauline starke again demon- strates her natural feeling for drama and shows gift for comedy that has evidently been suppressed till now. She does not use a double in any of the scenes depicting her as a dancer and exhibits the grace and ability that would seem to come only with years of practice on the hori- zontal bars.
 The program will remain for three days commencing Sunday. There will be two shows Sunday night the second show starting at S:S0.

HIS PEOPLE REAL
 GRIPPING DRAMA
LyCeum Features SChiIdkraut Picture Harlan in "The Sap"

A tear, a smile. sob, a chuckle! 4 page from the life book of a simple family, a powerful portrayal Of human emotions Is the heart stirring story of His People," which opens tomorrow night at the Lyceum in conjunction with "The Sap" a comedy drama featuring Kenneth Harlan and Mary McAlis- ter. In His People" the stars are Rudolph Schildkraut, Kate Price, Rosa Rosanova, Virginia Brown Faire, Nat Carr and others. For the last three days of the week this theater by popular request. brings back "The Cohens and the Kellys." easily one of the most popular photoplays seen here in years, and also offers "Steel Preferred" with Vera Reynolds, Hobart Bosworth, William Boyd. Ben Turpin and other stars. This picture has an unusual background In that It vas filmed In the steel mill district and many scenes were actually in a mill.
 His People" concerns the lives of Rabbi Cominsky, his wife, Rosie. and their sons, Sammy and Morris. The good" boy is studious and leans toward law; the "bad' boy, Unlearned and later prize fighter, react differently to their fathers attitude toward them. Morris, the 1aurver beIo,-.d b1y l;a EotIox l., cold, selfish and cruel. subverting parental and racial ties for his own ambitions. Sammy. the fighter, who consorts with toughs. is kind, gen. erous and filled with love for the old folks. Climax follows climax. How the son favored by the father spurns his parents and denies his religion; how the younger son, dis owned by his father, returns and. unknown to the aged and broken man, brings joy to the patriarch's last days; the sacrifice of the old rabbi for his ungratefui Morris and the eventful recognition of the wronged Sammy all are srtfully portrayed. Scenes of squallor and comfort are shown. A never-to- be- forgotten snowstorm and a cham pionship prize fight are but a few Of the realistic sights.
 The Sap" is humorous eXposf- tion Of the struggle of a pampered sissy 10 escape the stigma Of cowardice. When the Sap" return ed from war with medals the town bully found that he still was afraid 10 fight a. fist fight and made life miserable for him. He is exposed as q fakir and then comes his man. lv fight 10 win recognition honest ly. He discovers he can fight and then, WOW, the picture becomes one filled with action. David Butler plays the part. of the bully and has things his own way with the sap until the latter effects his own re. mobilization.

sideration for other users OF the road
and a conscientious effort to do what
is conducive to the general welfare.
Dictates of Conscience.
There is great and growing need
for strict observance of the dictates
of conscience and good sense, and no
body of men and women is better
equipped to further the idea which
underlies safer motoring than the
motorists who are members of the
affiliated A. a. A. clubs throughout
the country" declared Thomas p
Henry, president of the American Au-
tomobile Association.
Mr.. Henry expressed the belief that
too much specific legislation has the
tendency to tempt the average driver
to keep just within the law, and to
forget that he is still guilty Of infrac-
lions of unWritten rules of the road
An example of such unwritten regu-
lations which should guide the con-
duct of motorists is presented in the
act of stopping an automobile. While
specific laws do not stipulate the exact
manner of bringing Il car to a halt
beyond requiring a signal for the car
following, it Is pointed out, d motorist
can display a wide range of judgment
in choosing the proper time to stop.
"A case came to our attention." Mr..
Henry said. "of Il driver who Vas
caught in the path of speeding fire
engine because the driver Of a car
ahead would not move out of the way
quickly enough. There was no law re-
curing that motorist to drive faster
than he desired, but good judgment
should have prompted him to think of
the person following. There are many
instances when it is positively danger,

How New Gear Works.

Motorists have been hearing much
about a new type of steering gear that
adjusts itself to steering needs auto
matically, but there IS tendency to
assume that the salesman Is exag-
Eerating for the sake OF making n
sales point. The truth of the matter
is statesmen for cars embodying this
new feature do not dwell upon 1t
enough for the reason that they do
not always understand 1t themselves.
The idea of this new type Of steer
ing is to provide for maximum lever
age on the pitman arm (which con-
trolls the steering rods) when caught
in a tight place. as in parking, and
at the same time to provide for sensi-
tive control of steering when driving
over the road One OF the novel ways
of obtaining this effect is as follows:
A steering nut works up and down
on the screw or worm at the end Of
the steering column. This nut fits
into the Jaws of what, for the sake
of simplicity, may be called a lever.
If this nut were fastened to this lever
1t IS obvious that there would be the
same leverage provided for operating
the pitmaA arm and the steering rods
regardless of whether the wheel were
being given slight turn, as in fol
lowing a bend in the road, or whether
the steering wheel were being tugged
at in an effort to cut the wheels sharp
ly as in parking. In this variable
steering idea. however. the nut is not
fastened. It is allowed to slide in the
jaws of the lever. When the nut is
all the way to one extreme Of the
steering screw 1t is all the way our TO
the ends Of the Jaws. At that point
it provides for the greatest leverage.
steering is most difficult. When steer
ing is more sensitive and movement
OF the wheel is less the nut adjusts
itself TO the lesser leverage position.

A. A. A. Points Out.

Observe the unwritten laws Of mo-

ing broadcast by the American Auto
mobile Association as the result of a
survey which has shown that motor
lists have a pronounced tendency to
neglect unwritten maXims of safety

rightly falling within the class of reck-
less drivers.
Either lack of knowledge of what
certain quasi-legal restrictions are or
an indifference to regulations which
lack "a visible sanction of the law was
found by the a. a. A. to account for
the disregard of motorists for many
practices which must be followed If
the use of automobiles is to remain
safe for drivers and pedestrians alike.

When Using Glycerin.

Glycerin as an anti-freeze raises
the boiling point of the contents OF the
cooling system, which may be an adj
vantage or a disadvantage, depending
largely on whether the driver or the
car knows what is happening under
the hood. Alcohol lowers the boiling
point, and many drivers know that
If the radiator is kept covered too long
and starts to boil over the engine is
not as hot as it would be If radiator
filed with clear water boiled over.
Now these same drivers must learn
that IL the glycerin-filled radiator
boils over the engine Is excessively
and dangerously hot. With gNcerin
the chances Of boiling, however, are
greatly reduced. But drivers who are
accustomed to waiting until the radi-
ator heat indicator rushes skyward
before opening the radiator shutters
will be counting trouble.
