BIC PARADE" AT CAPITOL

King Nidor's directorial methods in Metro-Goldwyn-M Mayors "The Big Parade,' now at the Capitol. which critics call the best photoplay to come out of Hollywood in ten years, have developed great mo- ments of drama that give the photo- play the quality Of q true epic. The direction surpasscs Griffith at his best. Sincere craftsmanship and true creative genius are in evidence throughout the production.
 Outstanding among the long shots" are the scenes showing the long line of motor lorries filled with doughboys moving on and on over the ribbon-lilie roads until gathered up in the distant horizon. The ef- feet presented to the audience is that of untold thousands. one might almost say millions. Of men moving toward the front lines in never ceasing, vital stream.
 The shows are continuous daily Hith ''rhe Big Parade" appearing a 2:1o, 4:35, zoo and 9:05. School children will be admitted at 4:30 for o5 cents.

 "The news stories from New York are in error as 10 the length Of time the car was in the water. The car was waiting for Reynolds at Mineola, near Curtlss field, one Of his flying fields. Our theory is that someone stole the car and ran it off into the water. The car was pulled out on Friday morning, after the accident. and not three days later"
 Orr said he laSr saw Reynolds on Wednesday or Thursday before the automobile accident.

 i With Frances White and Fritzi Scheff in the cast, Bye Bye. Bonnie" made an suspicious beginning of its road tour at Parsons theater, Hart ford, last evening. attracting a large ilrst night attendance on the strength of Its SIX months run in New York. As musical comedy, il ranks well up am ong the best draws of the sea son. if judgment is to be based on it's reception in Hartford.
 : For the road company l.. Lawrence Weber has engaged artists of plaas- | ing talents who do not suffer by com parson with the headliners. The SnoWs strongest appeal is from the i angle of comedy. amusing dialogue and situations succeeding each other smoothly and rapidly.
 The plot IS rather involved Noah h /. Shrivell proprietor Of soap fac tory who has always led a life of clrCumspaction. visits a night club with Bonnie Quinlan. head Of the de- partmcnt assigned to entertain big buyers. During the evening Shrivell. who is known as a dry reformer, buys 2 couple of quarts Of liquor for one or his customers from whom he expects visit. He is arrested for the transa Ction and is scntrnced 10 30 days on Welfare Island. This apparently ruins his chance to get the nomination for congress on the reform ticket. but his astute head salesman. Tod Williams, turns the incident 10 good account by pursuad- ing Shrivcll 10 pose as a martyr in the interests of personal liberty and run for congress on the liberal ticket. The situations in which he becomes involved form tho nuh of the story.
 Louis Simon, one of the co-authors of the book on which the comedy is based. fills all requirements com pletcly as Shrivell. Arthur Hartley is excellent in the character Of the head salesman. William Frawley provides enough comedy for one man as "Butch" Hogan, a guest" of the state at Welfare Island. Miss " ll|h IS CISI as ltOnnlG ana 0OpS it nicely. She and Mir. Hartley sing the musical hit of the show, You and 1 Love You and Me" Miss White also contributes two numbers in chara cteristic Frances White style before the footlights. My Baby" and Anyone Who Does That Cant Be So Dumb.' Just Cross the River From Queens" is sung by Miss Scheff, Mir. simon, Mir. Henderson and Mir. Hartley. Miss Schcf's best number is That September Night" Bencice Specr is a charming and clever little dancer whose solo hum bers win warm applause. John Nee han, Jr. carries off the dancing laurels among the males.
 The chorus is of high order and the dances are well executed. The settings for the last act are deserv- ing of mention. All in all the show may be put down as pleasing enter tainment.
 Bye Bye, Bonnie will be offered tonight and tomorrow night, with a matinee tomorrow.

SMOKING is BANNED
IN RECORDERS COURT
Stephens Rules That No
One Shall Smoke as
Cases Are Heard

Smoking has been branded as an
obstruction to justice by Police
Recorder William B. Stephens, with
the result that a ruling is now in
effect that no one in his court shall
smoke while case is being heard.
During the warm weather it did
not make much difference whether
one smoked or did not smoke in the
court room. However, when the
doors and windaws had to be
closed. and there was no way for
the smoke to make its escape, the
situation became different.
So deep, on certain occasions,
especially when the room was fill
led as an important case was
heard, had the smoke become, that
the Recorder resolved TO clear the
air once and for all.
And to that end a large placard
now adyertises the fact that there
shall be no smoking while cases
are being heard.

Rev. MeSSler To
Leave Wesley
Seeks Transference To AnOth-
er Church When Annual
Conference Is Held
POPULAR ON MAINLAND

The Rev. J. j. Messler, pastor of
the Wesley M. e. church, and per-
haps one of the best known minis
tiers on the Mainland, has request
ed that he be transferred to another
charge, the transfer to take place
at the close of the annual confer
ence session in March
The request was made when the
fourth and final quarterly confer
ence session of the church was held
Tuesday night, Dr.. Fitzgeorge, dis
trict superintendent, presiding.
Rev. Messler read his report, and
after paying high tribute to the
officials of the church for their
splendid cooperation. asked that
the transference be made.
Besides being active in his
church, Rev. Messler, who succeed
ed Rev. Walter L. Shaw as pastor
Of the Wesley church less than a
year ago, was affiliated with the
Atlantic County Ku Klux Khan. He
served as an officer of that organi-
zation.
1t is understood that members of
the Board of that church are hold
ing the matter of the transference
under advisement. although such
action is expected to be made if
Rev. Messler continues to desire it.
He has made many friends in the
city and on the mainland during
his residence in the city.
Reports from the various
branches of the church gave evil
dence of splendid success in all
activities during the Boa.S meet
ing. The Ladies' Aid Society re
ported that during the conference
year they had paid the final $1,000
on the parsonage mortgage, $500
ON church improvements, and $500
ON parsonage furniture.
The Official Board reported the
church to be in an excellent finan-
cial condition.

plan.
1t is proposed that the eastward
expansion of the city be to the
north of the tract of Benjamin Fox,
West Atlantic City. This magnifi-
cent development is not included
in the petition of Messrs. Jackson
Stephenson. After many confer.
ences upon this feature of the
undertaking, it seemed wise to
adopt a line which would follow
north of the West Jersey and Sea-
shore to the center of Jonathan's
Thoroughfare, about two miles
north of the present city line. The
line at Jonathan's lThoroughfare
would extend north to the right Of
way of the Camden and Atlantic,
or Pennsylvania steam road and
connect with the Absecon city
line.
The southerly boundary of the
city would be extended to the cen
ter of Fire Road.
While much of the territory
north Of the city is meadows. there
are many home sites and developed
properties in the areas which it is
proposed to add to the city.
