SANDY" SHOWING AT
 COLISEUM SUNDAY ONLY

Sandy" is in the movies now. That is the good news that will bring all fiction lovers to the Coliseum theater tomorrow when the first local showing of the new Fox Film will take place. This celebrated story by Elenore Me- herin has been read by legions as it appeared scrially in more than a hundred big city newspapers in every part of the United States.
 It's theme is one of widespread appeal. It records, in an un- forgettable manner, the search of a typicaS modern girl for happi- ness. The sensational success that greeted it instantaneously upon publication was due to the fact that the character Sandy. has been treated with a candor that is sometimes daring but al ways true-to-iife.
 Sandy" is the daughter of a jazz age who holds all the advanc- ed ideas commonly credited to the present-day girl. She firmly believes that the older generation can teach her nothing but that she can give them few lessons in throwing over antiquated conven- tions in favor of behavior code that gets the maximum fun out of life. f
 In the highly dramatic story the author proves that rules of con duct developed through centuries of civilization cannot be altered or dismissed even by a beautiful ninetcen-year.old girl.

STATE POLICE IN
 THEA7ER WARNING
Advises How to Avoid Fire
 PaliCS

Hartford, Jan. Il. Nl-The slight est unusual condition is liable to cause panic, regardless of the gathering, Superintendent Robert T. Hurley of the state police depart ment declared today in explaining the details of the continual vigilance Of his department against conditions which might contribute to a disaster in Connecticut comparable to that in Montreal Sunday Two members of the state police force are regularly assigned to theater inspection work and visit each playhouse in the state at least once a month.
 The state police inspection ex- tends 10 such minute matters as weakened seats and worn sprockets on the projection machines in the motion picture booths, the superin- tendent said. Collapse Of q weak seat in a darkened theater might cause nervous persons in the audi ence to scream or faint he said, and the rush or others to the assistance of those who had given way to nerves might be the inception of q panic.
 Worn projection machine sprock- cts, he said, might cause the film to break, thereby injecting an un- usual condition into the train Of events. Among negligences which he cited as carefully watched for by in- spectors, are unswept projection booths, snow on the roof and ice and instructions ill the vicinity of the exits.

Strand audiences at both perform ances yesterday with his feats of thought reading and his answering of questions presented by persons in the audience. Dr. Raboid lays no claim to any supernatural gifts. He is incidentally the only thought reader who does not ask his sub ject to write down his or her ques- ton on paper as is customary with the ordinary mind reader. He will remain for the entire week at the
 Strand, while the remainder of the bill the vaudeville and the photo plays will change on Thursday.
 The comedy honors of the vaude- vile bill went to Mack and Rossiter in their turn called, "A Modern Oc-
 currence." The male member of
 this team not only has a pair of
 gifted feet that brings the house
 down with applause, but is as pol
 ished comedian as one has seen
 here in a long time. Other acts on
 the bill included. Clay Crouch &, Co.,: Frank Whitman; Crafts and Douglas, and the Nisser Trio.
 The feature photoplay for the first half of the week is Corinne Griffith in "The Lady in Ermine."

and Washington streets tonight. In all there will be five acts offered and every one is guaranteed to be crammed with entertainment, Some of the casts leading amateurs have entered in this evenings affair, which fact should assure those at tending that big evening is in store for those making up the audi ence. The two feature pictures which close their engagement at this theater this evening are ''The Waltz Dream" and Bad Mans Bluff" The first mentioned is one of the sea- sons screen sensations and like Variety" is a German made film. It tells of the romance of a Princess in pleasure-mad Vienna before the war. The settings are lavish and the acting above reproach. It is a pie ture decidedly worth seeing. Xenia Desni and Willy Fritsch, two of Eu- ropes foremost screen stars have the stellar roles. Bad Mans Bluff is vigorous western drama starring Buffalo Bill Jr. It has every ele- ment that should appeal to the fan who likes his screen entertainment wild and woody. Selected shorter subjects round out the program. The double feature bill being offered to- morrow and Thursday offers Renee Adoree and Ralph Graves in a story of the bare knuckle days of prize fighting called "Blarney." as we'll as Wally Wales in The Cyclone Cow boy" Shorter subjects include a comedy and news reel. There will be another bathing beauty contest staged Thursday evening as an added attraction.

1.-THE RAT"-LYCEUM

There is no fascination equal to the underworld of Paris. Its lure is felt all over the world and what strange glamor and heart-rending tragedy it holds is faithfully DOT trayed in the film version of the Broadway success, ''The Rat" which now is showing at the Lyceum thea ter in which Mae Marsh and Ivor Novello and Isabel Jeans are the leading stars.
 On this same program is anoth- CT of the famous pictures so popu- lar with the public bringing canine actors into prominence. In The Call of the Wilderness Sandow, dog hero of manyla film drama, is the star and against background CT the great north wood this clever beast performs notably.
 The Rat" in which Novello shows every evidence of being one of screendom's brightest male stars, is a tense drama which opens with a famous Apache criminal eludlng the Paris gendarmes. The drama rushes onward with dramatic in- tensity through a terrific fight, q murder and a gripping murder trial in which all the motions of-l love and loyalty play a big part.
