Competitive athletics. however,
provide a different observation.
Oarsmen. swimmers and marathon
runners are found to have hearts
enlarged beyond the normal. Skiers
and bicycle racers have hearts that
are even larger. Football players and
boxers show relatively little change
IN the heart and fencers apparently
none.

CAPITOL HAS
 TWELvETREES IN STRONG PLAY
Hell Harbor' . Ends To- night and "Millie'' Be-
 gins Tomorrow

Seldom has any role on the talk ing screen been any richer in emotional possibilities than that of "Millie," in which Helen Twelve trees is cast in the Radio picture of the same name beginning to- morrow night at the Capitol Thea tre.
 Hell Harbor", with Lupe Velez and Jean Hersholt, will be shown for the last times tonight.
 In "Millie," the character of ''Millie" begins as high school girl in a village taken to New York as the wife of the scion of an old and wealthy family there. In the village Helen Twelvetrees endows "Millie" with a youthfulness and freshness carefully tempered with a natural sophistry with which red headed girls seem to be naturally possessed. AS the wife in New York she is first gay then stricken with grief as she discovers that her husbands love has cooled. When she obtains a divorce from him the contrast in her character is beginning to show.
 Reaches Middle Age
 With excellent emotional shading, Helen Twelvetrees has taken the girl 'Millie" on from this point through the orgy of parties, love affairs and flirtations until she finally reaches middle age and tragedy again strikes her. In the last few scenes the role probably gamers more sympathy than at any other time.
 The rage which leads to a rash act has Subsided, she has achieved her purpose and now the price is about to be exacted. The startling change from the happy little vil- lage beauty to the haggard woman about to pay for her sins will un- doubtedly create much praise for Miss Twelvetrees.
 Good Supporting Cast
 To the very end of the picture these rapid changes are carried and at the finish the chacter is entire ly different from any other se- quenee in the picture
 In the cast supporting Miss Twelvetrees are Lilyan Tashman, Robert Ames, Joan Blondell, John Halliday, James Hall and Anita Louise. 'fMillie" was adapted from the famous Donald Henderson Clarke novel by Charles Kenyon. The dialogue was written by Ken yon and Ralph Murphy. John Francis Dillon directed the screen play.

Singers and dancers composing "The Royal Russian Chorus will appear in person on the stage of the Coliseum theatre at matinee tomorrow afternoon and at a per- formance tomorrow evening.
 'Dumb-Bells in Ermine," clever photoplay comedy, featuring Bar bara Kent and Robert Armstrong, will be the screen attraction to- night at the popular playhouse.

There are twenty members of the organization. Their trip to Alaska is aboard the chartered yacht Har- mony, and the cruise north was prompted by a desire to see the country rather than with the in- tenticn to derive monetary profit.
