WHISPERING SMITH
 ISLYCEUN FEATURE
Silken ShaCkleS Also to Be
 Shown at This Theater

Few screen plays are so saturated with melodrama and sympathy as is
 Whispering Smith" which will be Fshown at the Lyceum thcater start ling tomorrow night and continuing through Wednesday. The author
 wrote from authentic data-tbe his- tory of the railroads during the period when the Rocky Mountains were the objective of all lines. The companion picture is the Warner . Brothers production of "Silkcn Shackles.' with Irene Rich and HunNy Gordon. In this picture Miss Rich is beautiful and fascinat- ing. with one of the most wonderful wardrobes. She has the role of tho pampared wife of an American abroad on diplomatic mission. with q tendency for affairs of the heart.
 Whispering Smith" is a differ ent' picture because il not only is based on actual facts, but the prin- cipaI character. Whispering Smith" was also q real, live man doing the things accredited 10 him in the film story Featured in this production are historic scenes of railroading in the shadow of the Rockies: of bands Of maraudors, freight car thieves and holdup men of daring robberies and foul murder of railroad hands and ranchcrs.
 One of the greatest scenes in the entire picture occurs when the Overland Limited is dcrailod with q thundcrOus crash and lays a mass of twisted, flame cnveloped wreck age-the work Of Sinclair and his robber band. This wreck scene is real and not produced by stage mechanics.
 H. E. Warner Is cast in tho title role and Lillian Rich. John Bowers. Lilyan Tasbman, Eugene Palette, Will Walling. Richard Ncill. James Mason, Warren Rodgers, Nelson McDowelI and Robert Edcson arc exceptional factors in the cast which makes this production so genuine.
 Coming hack 10 q brief sketch Of "Silken Shacl;Ics," it is seen that the theme starts with q zip when the diplomats wife reasons that husband is only a husband, and she has him anyway, while a gypsy vio- linist is romance. However, she did not then realize that her American hubby was as much in love with her as any of her gay continental suit ors, nor did she realize to what ends he would go 10 keep her love

AutoiSt'S Quick Wit in Emer-
 8enCy Saves Life

l Stamford. May % lP) - Andrew Troneck, Of 162 Washington avcnue
 may not he a movie dare devil, but
 he has taught the movies one good way to beat death in front of a train at grade crossing.
 Late yesterday Tronock was driv- ing his touring car at q fair rate of speed toward the Now Canaan branch line crossing. He evidently did not hear the ominous howl of the locomotive for when he reached the crossing, it was too late for him to go ahead and he couldn't stop. It seemed that another tragedy was about 10 be suddenly added to the daily harvest of death in the un- equal struggle between an automo- bile and train.
 But Troneck did not lose his head. When he saw that it was too late to go ahead or stop. he quickly stccred onto the track, turned a sharp right. stepped on the gas and dashed down the track a foot ahead of the on-coming train.
 When Engineer David Moore saw what seemed to him 10 bc an un- ayoidable accidcnt, he threw on the brakes Of his engine and yankcd trantically at the whistle and wait i'd for the crash. Fortunately for Tronock, the suddenly reduced speed Of the engine inflicted no more than q broken wheel on the impromptu dare-dcyil's car. and af- for pumping ahead Of the train for about loo feet, tho auto wheeled over to the station platform and rip ped slice from the flat structure. Troneck was unhurt and after he recovered from his perturbation, called q wrcckcr and had his auto- mobile lowed from the track his sole comment was "Whcw."
