ALBANIA CHANGES
 IN RAPID FASHION
King ZOs'S Land No Longer
 Mysterious Country

Washington. Aug. 16 P-Changes the capital of Europe's newest mon- archy: Tirana, Albania.
 Seventeen years ago Albania was a province of Turkey. For a brief interval before the world war it was an independent monarchy, ruled by German prince.
 The country was occupied by the entente in 1917 and then became a republic. In 1925 Ahmed Beg Zogu was made its president. Last September, President Zogu be- came King Zogu. And within the last few weeks the king has changed his name: he is now King Fog l,
 Albania was virtually an unknown land before the world war; and Tirana was as little known as the rest of the country, the National Geographic society points out.
 Durazzo the chief city, and now the port for inland Tirana, was the capital in those days and the most visited spot in Albania. Tirana lay only 20 miles inland, but the road was almost impossible and the only mode Of conveyance was by spring less ox-cart or by donkey-back.
 Since TirAna was made the capi- tai the situation has completely changed. An excellent highway connects the capital and it's port.
 The mosque, domes and minarets that once dominated the city's sky line are. being encroached upon by modern government buildings and legations of foreign governments who recognize Albanian sovereignty. Hotels are also poking their upper stories above the red roofs of old Tirana's mud walled structures, and new avenues. parks and public gar dens have been laid out for the en- joyment of the city's inhabitants and guests.
 Albanians are not a travelled people. Their first railroad now is under construction between Duraz- 70 and Tirana, and save for a mar row rim, along the Adriatic seaboard, there are few roads within the countrt's borders.
 But the social aspect of the capi tai has changed with the coming of representatives of foreign govern ments At the new Sports club, Albanians rub elbows with resident diplomats and the Albanian women now compete against the ladies of the legations on the tennis courts.
 The Tirana market place is one of the few spots in the city that has not been disturbed by the new corners and here, among the vege- tables and fruits piled on the cob- bles roam folk of the surrounding mountains and valleys, apparently unmoved by the changes taking place in their capital.

AT THE CAPITOL

A swift moving drama of lust. love. death and life as it is lived on the furthermost fringe of civili- zation has come to the Capitol today and Saturday Two Men and a Maid" the Tiffany Stahl talking picture never lags in excitement and heart interest The story concerns an English boy, disappointed in love, who enlists in the French Foreign Legion, begins military service in Algeria and finds himself hope lessly enmeshed in q love triangle that endangers his life.
 William Collier, Jr., plays with deep understanding the part of the English idcalist who wants to get away from the world of women be- cause one broke his faith in their goodness. He signs up for service in the Legion and arrives in North Africa only to discover that women are a vital necessity to the men in his regiment. They talk and think of nothing else and their state or mind is contagious.
 The adjutant has a sweetheart- B cafe giri with few morals but many admirers. Eddie Gribbon as the adjutant and Alma Bennett us the voluptuous vampire give flaw less performances. Collier, through the efforts Of his buddy, played by George E, Stone, meets the girl and his passions are aroused to such an extent that he throws dis cretion and his moral scruples to the four winds.
 The co-feature presents Reginald Denny in his first talking picture ''Red Hot Speed"
 Beginning Sunday the Capitol will offer George Bancroft in an all talkie "Thunderbolt."
