The new Fred Stone show. "Criss Cross" which comes to Parsons theater all next week Is the sensa- tional hit of the new theatrical sea- son and the greatest and most beau- tiful production ever made by Charles Dillingham;. The New Ha- ven Register said of this play:
 ITO say that the production will be one of the seasons outstanding hits when it reaches New York is to put it lightly. A hit from the first rise of the curtain until the echo of the last note has faded away. At the close Of the performance first night eds cheered, whistled, stamped their feet and even tossed their hats into the air in recognition of the latest Stone success. The demonstration continued and the first night wit nesses refused to leave the theater until the inimitable comedian step ped beyond the curtain line and eX- pressed his gratitude at the recep- ton which greeted his latest vehicle. As for the production itself, 1t is typically Stone. We say typically Stone because 1t is wholesome, clean, has a delightful story and beautiful costumes. When we saw Miss Dor

ROAD ID MANDALAY
 CAPITOL FEATURE
Lon Chaney'S Vehicle Accorded
 a Wonder

Grim tragedy. gaunt realism. brcathless suspense, and one of the most beautiful love stories ever told on the screen combine to make a screen masterpiece of 'The Road to Mandalay," Lon Chancy's latest starring vehicle. playing at the Capi- tol, Sunday, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, It is through the grim realism of the vivid mystery drama of the Orient that the love story perhaps, is so forcible. It holds the audience fairly spellbound, and thus takes its place as one of the best bits of screen entertainment in a long time.
 Chaney plays weird character; a sea captain degenerated into a sinis- ter, fight-scarred ruler of an Orien- tai underworld, hiding in a strange dive on the Singapore waterfront, and secretly adoring an orphaned daughter who never learns her par entage: a pathetic bit of realism tn- jectcd into the colorful mystery.
 Lois Moran appears as the heroine of the new Metro-G oldwyn Mayer feature; her first role since her sue cess in Stella Dallas" and Owen Moore appears as "The Admiral, ! dissolute former navy officer whose own sense Of shame brings about a regeneration. Kamiyama Sojin is a weirdly menacing figure as English 1 Charlie Wing" chief of the Oriental ] gangsters of Singapore.

STAGE AND SCREEN

All scenes depicting for Germans as cruel and barbarous in the film, "The Four Horsemen of the Apoca- lypse," will be eliminated. Dr. Gus tav Heuser, acting German consul general, has been informed in let ter from Will H. Hays, president oi the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America.
 Dr. Heuser had protested to MT. Hays against the picture as being anti-German. Reports from Berlin indicated, he said, that feeling in Germany over some of the scenes was strong, Producers here believe that continued showing of the film In its original form might strength en the German producers campaign against American film productions.

 Tomorrow night the Capitol opens with Lon Clancy in "The Road to Mandalay." Hardly less of an attrac- tion Is Lois Moran who made such a hit in "Padlocked." Miss Moran has the role of the daughter of the hard-boiled dive proprietor whom Clancy represents. Incidentally, in this picture Clancy appears to have but one sightless eye and even close ups of the camera fail to show any mask. Clancy accomplished this by putting acid into his eye. This form ed a film over the eye-ball and gave the impression desired. Scenes in which the eye Is visible had to be taken in brief takes" and at one point Chaney left the acid in too long and came near losing the sight of his eye.

 Reginald Denny. who plays thu . leading roll in the Lyceum attrac ton, Rolling Homc," which start tomorrow night, is probably tn screens only comedian who does no yearn to play heavy parts.

Returning to Ameri ca, he signed with Universal to makt series of prize fight pictures fo the serill by T. c. Witwer. He mad, such a hit that he has been a full fledged star ever since.
