WOULD CHANCE RULES FOR
 ATHLETICS AT N. B. H. s.
Principal Slade Fayors Regulations by School Instead of by Head
 masters, He Says.

Principal Louis P. Slade of the Senior High school is considering a movement which will take athletics from the control of headmasters' rules and put them under rules of the school, he said today.
 He explained that rules created by the school would probably fit New Britain purposes better than general rules which are made to function for all schools under all conditions.
 Although the principal did not de- clare it to be the case, it is believed that his move was made as the re- suit of the new headmasters' rule which provided for the barring of athletes who played with outside teams after the season was under way. It is believed that Principal Slade did not favor such rule but since school athletics were under it's control there was nothing for him to do but bar 16 players he found vio- lating it's provisions.

AT THE CAPITOL

Beau Gcste" has arrived in New
 Britain.
 Gay young, courageous Beau"
 and his brothers brought smiles, TO- nance, thrills and a few tears to an audience that saw the first showing
 of Percival Wren's driving, gripping
 novel at the Capitol theater yestcr-
 day where it will be all week. Beau Gestc" is worth the fortune Paramount poured into it's filming. It is worth the months spent by Her bert Brenon and two thousand men among the scorched sand dunes of
 the Great American desert.
 This story Of the French Foreign Legion, hreathes an immortal flame
 that any director might forfeit. his life to obtain. The action hinges on the wonderful devotion Of three l young Englishmen, each of whom docamps from home in order that 1 the blame for the theft of a famous sapphire may fall on him although he believes one Of his brothers to be guilty.
 The Capitol presentation will Of l fer four continuous shows daily
 with the picture appearing at 2:35,
 4:45, and 9:10. Logcs are re-
 served evenings and arc subject to
