'SHIPWRECKED' AT .LYCEUM TOMORROW
Sttla Owen and Joseph SChild-
 kraut in Thriller of Sea

"Shipwrecked, a dramatic sea story, tense and thrilling, filmed in Q raging hurricane off the coast of California and brilliantly enacted by a cast of characters headed by Joseph Schildkraut and Seena Owen opens tomorrow night at the Ly- ceum theater. On this same pro- gram will be the tense drama of love, devotion, prisons and courts The People vs. Mary Preston" In this drama the principal parts are taken by Marguerite De La Motte and John Bowers and it is from the novel by John A. Moroso. Brutal third degree police methods, circum- stantial evidence, the functions of the courts and prison life are all bound together in this pulsating drama with the sincere love and sacrifice of two noble souls. "The Amazing Adventures of Magic" and other usual reels also will be shown.
 "Shipwrecked" is a picture of tremendous strength and is a tale VI t'lI ct li0t 1ilOutl NuOSt Dtuuly brings her the unwelcome attention of men and when she seeks to es- cape them in another city she fails. One night, fighting for her honor. she shoots a man and then slips aboard an Orient bound vessel and hides in the hold. During a rag ing hurricane at sea she is discov- cred and when the captain attempts to make love to her the ship cooks assistant comes to her rescue. Seena Owen is the girl and Joseph Schild- kraut the battling hero. The ship, almost dismantled by the storm, is abandoned by the crew and the young couple are left to their fate. They eventually are cast ashore on an island and here it is that many more interesting scenes transpire and a smashing climax is reached. Matthew Betz is great as the heavy"

THE WANDERER'
 AT THE PALACE
Religious Picture Is Filmed Of
 Prodigal Son

''The Wanderer," the parable of the prodigal son, most famous of all Bible stories, has been brought to the screen and had an advanced showing at the New Palace Friday morning before representative citi- zens of the city. So enthused were those that saw the picture that they are anXiously awaiting the opening night so that they may be able to see it again. The picture opens at the New Palace on Sunday night.
 Following in every detail the story told by Christ to the publicans and sinners. "The Wanderers" brings to the screen a theme that in many ways is the most tremendous and most powerful ever filmed.
 Jether (played by William Collier, Jr) son of Jesse (Tyrone Power) is weary of the monotony of his shep- herd life and longs to see the great city beyond the hills. Despite the en- teraties of his mother (played by Kathlyn Williams) and the orphan maiden Naomi (Kathryn HilD he demands of his father his portion of the estate so that he might leave for the city. The request is finally grant cd the youngster and unknoWing to his parents he leaves in company with a priestess who enacts the role of vampire (played by Gretaz Nis- sem. In the city the life of luxury lasts until Jether squanders his for tune and is overthrown by the vampire for the more wealthy mer chant (Wallace Beery), Here is en- acted some of the most beautiful love scenes and architectural dis plays ever witnessed upon any stage or screen. The Babylonian Palace of the priestess Tisha is a marvellous exhibition of gorgeous settings. Fol- lowing the destruction of the heath en city because of a curse called down upon it by a prophet who warned the inhabitants thereof, the Wanderer is the only soul that is saved, The destruction of Babylon is a marvellous piece of work.
 Ltl v NIAl bt tNo oItONS Oli NJNli day night. A double feature bill be- ing on the program. In addition to The Wanderer" which open Sunday night, Tom Tyler in The Arizoina Streak" will be shown. ''The Arizona Streak" is a good old fashioned west ern with plenty of thrills and com edy for which Toy Tyler is well known.

QUEER SHAPES OF
 N. '. BUILDINGS
Observers Will See Many Things Y Of Interest

New York, Aug. 21 P-some of the most curiously shaped buildings in the world are located in New York without one of them being planned as a freak.
 This condition arises from their having been planned according to streets, which originally were laid along twisting roads or Indian trails.
 Numerous "Flatirons"
 The Flatiron Building is the best known, with its knife like edge fac ing north while the southern expos ure is widened in the space between converging streets. Broadway has a similar shaped building every few blocks up to Times Square.
 Broadway bisects Manhattan Is land from the southeast corner to the northwest. The remainder of the main streets are laid out in rec tangular squarse which causes the odd shaped lots to appear at each intersection.
 Times Square Formation
 Times Square itself is formed by a junction of this sort, and is any thing but square, being rather more the shape of a diamond, as Broad way crosses Seventh avenue there from the east and then turn north
 An apartment house located at Riverside Drive and 18th street is built inside of long curve of the latter street, which makes the building triangle with one side "ballooned" outward. The building across 18th street, a companion to this one, is built with the curve in- ward. If the street could be re- moved and the two buildings joined they would dovetail.
 Skyline of Art
 The new buildings, in conforming with the building laws, also have created a skyline which in the case of each building is beautiful but seldom noticed from the street.
 The buildings above the sixteenth or twentieth stories are pyramided to allow as much light as possible on the street, but the streets are SO narrow that no proper perspective can be obtained to view the upper portions.
 One of the few buildings not so hidden is the American Radiator Building south of the Public Library grounds. This tower is done in orange and black stone, each insert of the pyramid marked so that when the tower Is illuminated at night 1t has the appearance of a great pile of coals.

TENNIS CLUB WILL
 STAGE TITLE PLAY
Annual City Championships to
 Be Started Next Saturday

The annual city tennis cham. pionship tourney open to all ten his players ill the city, conducted under the auspices of the New Britain Tennis club, will start on Saturday, August 2S. The tourna ment will be open to all tennis players in this city and its en- virons. including Maple Hill, New ington, KensRgton, Berlin and Plainville.
 Entries for the tournament may be sent 10 Curtis Clifford, 154 Ken sington avenue. chairman of the tournament and all applications must be accompanied by the en- trance fee which will be one dol lar per person and one dollar for a doubles team.
 The tournament will include both singles and doubles matches and some of the best players in the city are expected to clash. Winners in each tournament will receive q silver loving cup and these will probably be placed CD exhibition in some prominent store window during the next week.
 This will be the third annual city tennis championship conducted by the New Britain Tennis club and it is expected, in view of the fact of the growing popularity of the game, that there will be a larger number of entries this year than ever. In the tournament in 1924 there were 40 entries. This number was swelled by II in 1925 when 51 tennis players entered. This year, from the amount of in terest shown in the game, the num- Der should be nearly doubled.
 It is the hope of the officials of the New Britain Tennis club that the tournament play. this year will see many of those who play on the municipal courts at Walnut Hill park entered in the play in order that they may develop into the quality of players that can enter state' competition.
 c. Kron was the winner of the singles tournament last year with c. Dressel the runner-up. Those who saw these matches will re- member the gruelling fights during the individual matches. In the doubles, kron and A. Benson de- feated Dressel and E. Benson in one of the finest double. sets ever seen in this city.
 The committee of the New Brit ain Tennis club in charge of the tournament is as follows: e. Cliff ford. chairman; c. J. Christensen. Roy Hoffman and L. W. Vogel.

STAGE AND SCREEN'

If ever a city has gone wild, or rather financial interests of a cer- tain kind have gone wild in a city, over theaters. New Britain is it. New Britain at present has the New Palace and the Lyceum operating. The Scenic, a movie house, also is operating. A new movie house is re- ported planned in Beaver street. The Capitol reopens Labor Day as a movie house and the following month the Strand is scheduled to open as a vaudeville house.
 On top of that, valuable property on Washington street has been sold recently and at once the talk goes up and down the stem that a new theater is being planned there. Now comes added gossip that new and big theatrical interest is anxious to get into the city. Is it B. F. Keith? Some of the wiseacres say it is and others just as wise say no. Is it Loew? The same thing obtains. Yes and no. And so it goes.
 In the meantime, Johnny Glack- en has gone ahead with his plans in Plainville and promises to have a, movie house in operation there carly in the fall.
 Beautiful Greta Nissen as Tisha, the tempress, and William Collier, Jr. as Jether, the prodigal, with Ernest Terrence as the evil one and Wallace Beery as1the roistering sea captain and Tyrone Power as the patriarch, "The Wanderer," which opens tomorrow at the New Palace has cast that cannot be excelled. This picture ranks with ''The Ten Commandments, "The Covered Wagon" and other big classics and is q story of "The Prodigal Son." This picture ran two months at the Criterion theater in New York at s2.
 The Wanderer" will be shown at 7:30 and 9:30 Sunday night and during the week, through Wednes- day, 1t will be shown at 4, z and 9:30 o'clock daily.
 For Sundays companion feature there will be Tom Tyler in The Arizona Streak"
 The usual vaudeville will be shown next week and the picture Thursday will be the William Fox special, "The Shamrock Handicap"
 Elinor Glyn in "The Only Thing" is booked for early showing at the
