THUNDERB0LT IS
 CAPITOL FEATURE
George Bancroft Is Featured in
 All Talking Drama

Bancroft and Von Sternberg! Mar velous portrayers of life on the screen.
 With Underworld" it seemed that these two, star and director, achiev- ed the greatest things possible on the screen but '"Thunderbolt' which comes to the Capitol theater Sunday for a 4 day run and, in the all-talk- ing screen medium, the miracle workers have perfected a new and greater picture of life in the little known melieu of the underworld.
 No stronger drama has ever been conceived: no greater emotional cli- max ever screened than Von Stern- berg and Bancroft have brought forth in ''Thunderbolt." Opening n the intriguing atmosphere of liar lem's black metropolis, where Ban croft as a fearful death dealer sways the lives and destinies of hun dreds of human being, it swings 10 the awe-inspiring setting of Sing Sings Death Row, where the final exciting climaxes in this most excit- ing drama are enacted.
 The story captures and vivifies the dramatic incidents that cross the news horizon in the newspapers every day. It goes behind these bit ting episodes and brings the whole tale forward. Superbly acted by q splendid cast, headed by Bancroft Richard Arlen and Fay Wray, it is slice of contemporary life maie to live
 In ''Thunderbolt," the all-talkirs medium of screen presentation IS exceptionally effective. There are so many things to hear as we'll as 10 Sec that the combination of picture and sound is necessary to the com plete entertainment. The perfection of the dialog recording matches the perfection of the direction and the acting. 'Thunderbolt" is wonder fully we'll rounded-truly master motion picture.

FASCIST DEPUTIES
 ARE WELL BEHAVED
Italian Chamber a Strange Body
 and a Polite One
By HUDSON HAWLEY

(ASSOcldted Press Staff Writer)
 Rome, Aug. IT tP}-Of the three lower houses of parliament that this writer has been privileged to "cover'' Tn the course of 15 years newspaper work, the present Italian chamber of deputies, the all-Fascist "corpor3 tive chamber" is both the strangest and the best behaved.
 Strangest because there are no hlocs, groups or parties, strictly speaking, although every member is supposed to represent some corpora- tive or guild interest. Strangesr. too because it holds only night sessions. and IS patient during them. Strln- Sest Of all, finally, because it is so thoroughly under the domina ion or one personality - Deputy Benito Mussolini. There is no hecking or batting the premier in the palace of MontecIttorio, where the chamber sits.
 It is we'll behaved body. it may De presumed largely because it was hand picked. The Fascist grand council, in making up it's nation wide list of 400 candidates, so tr1- umphantly elected on March 24, evi- dently took extreme care to excIude

trouble makers. There is not in the entire house a mischief provoker of the stamp of Leon Daudet. French royalist deputy from 1919 to 1924, nor is there one with anything ap- preaching the rambunctiousnes of a certain turbulent gentleman from Texas who formerly sat in the house of representatives.
 This aggiomeration of good boys" then. makes the task Of President Giuriata extremely simple Not once during the most recent session did he have to ring his bell, put on his stovepipe hat and sus- pend the sitting, as the writer haG seen any number of French presid- ing officers obliged to do, amid cat calls, ('cries of animals" as the Parisian parliamentary reporters so euphemistically put it) epithets and often fisticuffs. He has not even had to utter the Italian equiya- lent of "The house will be in order." which Frederick Gillet of MasSachu- setts used to enunciate with such Puritan rigor in the days when he was speaker of the house.
 No. President Giuriati's 39g charges listen intently to whom ever of their most dear colleagues, ." as they call each other. is holding form from the little pulpity affair on the chairs right. Once in a while they may interrupt with ap- plause. sometimes with a mildly factious remark. But in general the member who has the floor has his entire say out unless a certain per sonality, seated directly below Giuri- ati, should look upwards with a bored expression that says, Tor Heavens sake, slip him the hint to get done!"
 For Deputy-beg pardon. Premier -Mussolini takes the chamber ses- sionS quite casually, He utilizes the time to catch up on his reading of the late editions of the afternoon papers, now and then casting q glance at the orator of the moment. His interventions in debate are eX- tremely rare, but when uttered they can be terse and pungent When he himself takes the puIpity ros- trum he is good for two hours or more, and few if any of his col leagues think of cloak rooming out on him."

DRAG FEATURED
 AT STRAND THEATER
Richard Barthellness in First All Talking, Singing Feature

Richard Barthelmess, First Nj tional-Vitaphone star, again regis ters a talking picture hit with Drag" his newest starring vehicle. at the Strand theater Sunday for 4 days.
 Following Weary River" Bar thelmess has done another fine dra- matic portrait in Drag" His voice strengthens our belief in his even greater potentialities as a dramatic star of the first magnitude. The dialogue is written with subtlety and human understanding. And the story is simply, effectively and logi- cally told.
 Drag" concerns a young news paperman who goes to a small town to take over the local paper. He is also ambitious to become con- poser of operettas. In the small town he meets a young girl, finds himself engaged and then married to her But, unwittingly, he also finds himself supporting her entire family. How they keep dragging the young man down, how ne struggles against it, how he finds sympathy and encouragement from an unexpected source-these form the framework of the story. The unexpected source, by the way, IS that very charming dark-halred beauty, Lila Lee, while Alice Day, blonde and appealing as ever. plays hfr rn11finnG is greater than her love for her husband.
 The ending of Drag" is tuneful and colorful when 'The Love Prince" a musical play, is intro duced as the work of the hero, written while beating his wings against the walls of destiny in the small town. The chief musical hit is My Song of the Nile" and there is also a most catchy song called I'm Too Young to be Careful" :" Doubtless they will soon be sung from coast to coast, like Weary River"
 Frank Lloyd's direction was up 10 the standard we have been led Q expect from him, while the cast IS perfect in every detail. It includes such sterling players as Tom DugaT, Katherine Ward, Margaret Fielding and Lucien Littlefeld.
 On Thursday the program will change and will offer Richard Dix in 'The Wheel of Life,' an all talki2. There will also be a vaudeville pro gram of five acts featured
 Coming soon Maurice Chevalier. the idol of Paris, will be offered n an all talking, singing, dancing hit, "lnnOCentS of Paris"

Follow Thru" Will
 Open Parsons Theater

Hartford is to have it's first glimpse of Schwab and Mandels newest mu- sical comedy sensation, "Follow Thru" which will open the theatri- cal season in this city at Parsons theater on Monday evening, August 26 for weeks engagement, previ- ous to its Boston run, which will be- gin on Labor Day.
 Follow Thru as almost every one knows, has been the talk of New York since last January, and seats are still at a premium in spite of the fact that over 250 perform ances have already been given on Broadway, Follow Thru" had a hard task when it came into New York. It followed Good News at the Chanin 46th street theater after that show had piled up a record cf a year and a half. The question in theatrical circles was. Gan Schwab and Mandel repeat their success ?" That question was answered the opening night when Follow Thru" scored even a bigger hit than Good News"
 While altogether different from the college show, Follow Thru" contains the same qualities which made Good News so successful. It has youth, speed, beauty and charm the best tunes in years and more comedy than q dozen ordinary mu- sical shows.
 A special company has been or ganized for Boston. the leading play CTS being Beth Meakins, Arthur Campbell, Bobby Jarvis, Martha Morton, John Philbrick, Evelyn Kinder, Ruth Tester Billy McIn- tyre. Babe Fenton, James Jolly Fred Sumner, Betty Bowman and Max inc Carson. A chorus of beautiful young dancers, directed y Bobby Connolly and Al Goodman's Band are features of the show.
 'Follow Thru" was written hy Laurence Schwab and E. G. De Syl- va and is enlivened by a score of De SylVa, Brown and Henderson songs.

 From his point of vantage in this borderline political state Mir.
