CHARLIE CHAPLIN AT CAPITOL

Extr.i H2tra!
 Another great tragedy in Movie Ltsad.
 Charlie Charlin will never be ablo tv wear his big shoes again.
 Isolated in the cast snow wastes of Alaska. Lost and without food. Alone save or that grim companion. hunger. Starvation stalking outside his wind-blown cabin driven to desperation by the pangs of an empty stomach he-as others in like places have done before-eats his good friend. tho that friend has carried him over tho road to sue, cess, to the topmost peak of fame. But what is one friend to a man hungry-fame does not All the stom- ach.
 So. Charlie eats one of his famous shoes.
 In "The Gold Rush." now playing at the Capitol theater. under Unit ed Artists Corporation release, you actually see Charlie Chaplin boil and eat his monstrous shoes, with a del icacy and relish that Is an artistic triumph in pantomime.
 The question now arises how will he ever be able to amble through the rest of his comedies minus one of his famous shoes.
 The vaudeville bill Is headed by lew Brcms, Fitz and the Murphy Hros., who offer harmony and com r,ly to the delight of all. The Ruby Trio are three clever girls who offer l bright, snappy variety offering; Alice Morley entertains in High Moments in High Brown" and the Flying Henrys show sensational stunts in the air.

'APPLESAUCE' GOOD
 BLUES ANT|DOTE
It Keeps Audience Laughing at
 Parsons Theater
(By Herald Reviewer.)

l
 A page out of the book of every. day life. polished to a high lustre and embellished with witty lines and laughable situations -- that 1, "Applesauce," which opened A re. turn engagement at Parsons thea. ter, Hartford, last evening. Headed by Allan Dinehart. the company achieves the goal of stage folks - the audience forgets it is in a thea ter and enjoys the illusion of watching the actions and listening to the conversation of people in the life instead Of actors and actresses
 "Applesauce" was played at Par sons thcater last season. No doubt many who saw 1t then will want to see 1t again during it's three days run this week. It is comedy which can be enjoyed over and over. In Its constructions, cross section Is cut out of American family life and offered to the public.
 Mir. Dtnehart has played his role so long that he has become per- feet. He needs no complimentary remarks. He is like the man who is presented at a banquet as "a man whom you all know we'll and who needs no introduction" He Is ably supported by the vivacious , Vivian Tohin, whose performance IS on a par with Dinehart's. The part was made for her and she was made for the part. No hap pier combination was ever arrived at on the stage.
 Jessie Crommette gives a splen- dld characterization of Ma Robin son. who hasn't dared to open her mouth in her own house since she vas married. She was simply great and the audience attested to its en- loyment of her action by interrupt ing the play several times with ap. 1 plause showered in her direction. Paw Robinson" who rules the roost with an iron hand, was DOT trayed by William Holden in a style which was beyond criticism. o. downtrodden sisters. you whose husbands are perpetual grouches, gather before the footlights at Parsons and see yourselves mir rored by Miss Crommette. 0, you husbands, who enter your homes like human cyclones, slamming doors and making everyone quake. gather before the footlights at Parsons and see yourselves mir rored by Mir. Holden.
 Walter Connolly, as "Rollo Jen- kins," also contributed heavily to the enjoyment of the evening. The same may he said of Clara Elan dick. as Mrs. Jennie Baldwin" |" whose descriptions Of her hns. bands peculiarities struck re. sponsive chord in the hearts of the married women present, and Jules F'arrar, as Matt McAllster," who. in the end was the chief victim of "Applesauce."
 IL is q high-class comedy, pre- scented in a high-class manner bv q llighclass cast And that isn't ap- plesauce.

 In the past ono hundred years of English journalism three men stand consplcuously abovoi their fellows. John Thadeus Delane, W. T. Stead and Lord Norhcliffe. The effort of their united efforts has been 10 raise the English press to power un- cqualled, probably in any other country. stead was the first man in England 10 urge the more extens- i've printing of American news and the modorn1ation of the press on American lines.
 He corresponded with nearly every contemporary statesman of the world. His friends were extraordi- narily divers and the marvel of 1t was that he managed to keep on good terms with them all.
