ALLEGED SLAYER OF
 WOMAN IS CAPTURED

 mit;od Staying

SILENCE OPENS i AT THE LYCEUM
H. B. Warner in Feature Role
 Of Noted Drama

Two outstanding photodramas are scheduled to he shown at the Ly- ceum theater, starting tomorrow night. They are Silence" one of the most dramatic stage successes of recent years, and The Broadway Boob" another Glen Hunter success no less remarkable than Merton of the Movies" The usual news events and special comedy also are book ed.
 H. B. Warner, who created the role of Jim Warren in Silence" as it appeared on the stage, has this same part in the film version and is supported by Vera Reynolds, as his daughter, Raymond Hatton, Rock life Fellowes. Jack Mulhall and Vir- ginia Pearson. The picture, as did the show, open with a tremendous climax. It is a scene in the death house in a prison. The condemned mans lawyer was visiting him for the last time. The man was to face death in less than five hours unless he could be made to talk. Locked in his heart was a secret which money could not buy nor love force from him. He alone knew the real truth of the tragedy and although he was about to pay the supreme penalty for his silence, he would not tell.
 Mildred Ryan. one of the pretti- est screen stars, plays opposite Glenn Hunter in "The Broadway Boob" and Bishop and Lynn do a special dance novelty act as a part of the picture.
 The story deals with small town youth who is put out of his home by an irritable father because he at tended a carnival, which the father regarded as a mortal sin. In New York the youth visits a theater to solicit a job as janitor's assistant and is picked by the producer to do a hick dance. His burlesque makes a big hit and press agent stories credited him with getting a fabu- lous salary. Meantime his father needed financial help and an ap- peal to the son found him willing but financially unable to do any thing. However, what he does dc and the way things turn out stamp this as a feature picture of merit.

WANING SEX IS
 A LESSON FILM
Has Plenty of Comedy, However
 "a Feature at Palace

One of the most delightful, we'll balanced, easy-balanced, easy-mov- ing comedies the screen has offered for @ long time is The Waning Sex" starring Norma Shearer which opens up at the New Palace tomor- row night. Two girls and q man are the focal points of the plot. One of the girls wants him but doesn't love him, the other, the heroine. loves him but doesn't want him because she's not quite sure of her own mind.
 "The Waning Sex" is a farcical comedy with serious angle to it. It is q story of masculine women and feminine men and at times seems to be a burlesque on modern tenden- cies. But Norma Shearer who plays the lead in 'The Waning Sex has this to say about modern methods. "Women are not masculinized by handling jobs ordinarily pre-empted by men. They can be lawyers, judges, physicians without losing whit of their femininity."
 Norma Shearer has the role of lawyer in The Waning Sex" and not having been in a court room be- fore she was obliged to be a guest of Judge Bullock in Los Anglese as a student of court procedure.
 This experience prompted Miss Shearer to state that women are just as well suited to such positions as men. Miss Shearer points to the remarkable records hung up by women in the past few years es- show that they are fast coming out of the kitchen and into a new life that has been kept away from them in the past. There is Gertrude Ederle, Suzanne Lenglen, and host of others that might be mentioned who have forged ahead to the top notch of fame in their particular fields. And Miss Shearer points out that none of these remarkable women have lost any of their fem ininity. But as for the masculine variety. what is becoming of them? Miss Shearer hesitates to answer. This really is the theme of "The Waning Sex" and Miss Shearer leaves it to Conrad Nagel to defend his male companions of the change of fcminity. Which has the better of the argument can well be seen from their latest farce The Waning Sex"
 The picture will be shown for four days starting Sunday with i've acts of select vaudeville for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Sunday night there will be two shows. A double feature bill being on the program. The companloh feature 10 "'The Waning Sex Will be Fred Thomson in the only west ern feature that succeeded on Broadway this season. And when 'The Two-Gun Man" is supple imcnted by that expert mixture of comedy and action which Is typical of all Fred Thomson produc- lions the result is Al entertain ment, filled with speed, punch zip and ginger. The old adage of settinG q thief after thief is used in thlS recent Thomson picture with nice reyerse-English twist and the up roarious good humor with which the picture is rcplete furnishes a inc relief for the flashing action.
 The prices of admission for the Sunday night performances are forty cents for the orchestra and thirty cents for the balcony.

CAPITOL PARK

Tonight at Capitol park spec ial invitation amateur boxing tournament will be held, and from present indications one of the best cards of the season will be pre- scented. Matchmaker Hurley has received numerous entries for the various classes, and it is expected that the two best bouts of the evening will be those between Joe Howard, state champion in the ITO pound class, and Sonny Mays of Danielson, and in the 130 pound class between Abe Bodine and Jimmy Moe of Danielson. Another bout that is expected to be eXcit- ing and which may furnish some real fireworks is the bout in the 11S pound class in which Yin La Bella, scrappy little Middletown fighter. and Les Oberheim of Springfield, are entered. As a rule there are always one or two bouts on each amateur program that turn out to be better than the star bouts and it is always this uncer- tainty that makes the amateur bouts so attractive and interesting to boxing fans. In all ten bouts are slated for tonights fistic program and as usual the admission will be 25 cents on the gate, including continuation tickets for rides. As a special attraction a fireworks dis play will be put on after the box ing show and some new and unique effects in set pieces will be pre- sented, Follow the crowd to Capi- tol park tonight, ten bouts of anna teur boxing. fireworks, tickets to rides, all go to make tonight a bargain attraction for boxing fans and amusement lovers.
