AT THE MOVIES
Fashions of 1891
Coming With Styles,
Comedy & Romance

One Of the most colorful pictures
to come from Hollywood in many a
day is promised by the management
with the showing of the First National
production. Fashions of 1884 with
William Powell in the steller role at
the Capitol next Saturday.
The picture is said to combine
hilarious comedy with glamorous
romance and mammoth spectacle,
the latter staged by Busby BerEe-
ley. the musical comedy director
whose flair for the unique and bizarre
Is exemplified in the beautiful speci-
atty numbers in "F'ootlight Parade"
Gold Diggers of 1885," "42nd Street"
and other pictures.
The prize number In Fashions Of
1884, is a most unusal spectacle in
which 200 beautiful girls. do fan
dance in rhythm to music furnished
by harp orchestra.
One feature calculated to appeal
especially to women is gorgeous

William Dieterle. In the luxurious
setting Of fashionable and exclusive

styles II women's evening gowns and

These are but some of the special
numbers seen in picture that is

William Powell as a high pressure
promoter, corners the Paris fashion
market and sets himself up as the
king Of fashion.
Bette Davis plays opposite Powell
as his co-consiprator and vies for his

Duchess
With two such comedians as Frank
McHugh and Hugh Herbert teamed
up. the fun promises to be irrepres-
sible. AS the somewhat flirtatious
aide Of Powell. McHugh manages to
get into romantic entanglements that
are comical enough to stir the risibili-
ties Of a deacon.

Complete Cast of
Knockout Comics

With six comedians, all Of the first
rank, In the cast, and with q story
that gives each and every one Of them
full sway to create laughs, six of a
Kind" the picture billed to show at
the Paramount Theatre Friday and
Saturday. is one Of the merriest film
comedies seen In months.
Naturally, picture could hardly
miss when 1t has such players as
Charlie Ruggles, Mary Boland, w. c..
Fields, Alison Skipworth, George
Burns and Oracle Allen.
The story tells of an auto trip TO
California, undertaken by Mr.. Rug
giles and Miss Boland as Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Pinkham Whitney. To help defray
expenses, George Edward and Oracle
Devore. played by Mr.. Burns and Miss
Allen, go along. but the trouble they
cause more than offsets any financial
aid they may give.
Mr.. Ruggles and Miss Boland have
never been better. their roles exactly
fitting the whimsical hunlor of the
former and the helpless style Of the
latter.
Mr.. Fields is, as always, the life
Of the party. His comedy seems to
grow richer with each successive pic
ture. For the first time since he en-
tered pictures, he does some of his
old-time juggling and the pool table
act has lost nothing of its comedy in
the years that have passed. Miss
8kipWOIth gives an excellent per-
Torrance as the Duchess. The plan
Of teaming her with Fields seems to
have been happy thought.
For the first time In pictures,
George Burns and Grace Allen have
roles that carry through the entire
story. In several previous pictures
they have been used as comedy relief,
but their work In this shows the fool
shness Of wasting them in bits. They
are accomplished comedians, and
Oracle is good for q laugh every time
she opens her mouth.

Peter family all through the turbu-
lent and quiet years of American
history and has been an integral

Most outstanding among these early

"Sago Palm" which was planted
about 1900 by Mrs. Thomas Peter,
wife of the owner and builder of the
home. The "Sago Palms"-three of
them-were taken from the frigate

Green Wrabbers

CHOULD the housewife, visiting the markets
- for her food supplies, note an increasing use
Of green wrappers, particularly that shade known
as chlorophyn green, she need not be upset.
Exhaustive tests conducted by Mayne r. Coe,
Department Of Agriculture chemist, have dis
closed that that particular shade Of green is
most feasible in preventing the spoilage Of
foods through the effect Of light. Black, ex-
cluding all light, is best, of course, but black
hardly makes an attractive package.
Having found that chlorophyn green was
best, Mr.. Coe turned his research in another
direction and sought out the particular light
rays to blame. These he found to be the blue
rays. The blue is especially damaging to foods
bearing oils and promotes rather rapid develop
ment of rancidity.
So far no foods packed in glass have been
placed in containers Of chlorophyn green, but
green wrappers have found their way irto use.

their de luxe autos, titled gentlemen
with binocular cases swung jauntily over

with their dolled-up wives and sweet
hearts, settling down for a well-bred
view of the mystic panorama. Among

Smoke was curling merrily up from
makeshift stove pipes in tea tents.
BY 10 o'clock the tipsters and book
makers were setting up their soap-boxy
stands, blackboards for marking-up the
odds on the grandstand side of the
track. At II the advance guard of
London busses arrived, loaded down with
private parties who'd see the show from
on top. The Downs away from the
track were filling swiftly with a sta
tionary and moving sea Of autos and
conveyances of all kinds. Pedestrians
from trains were swarming into position
alongside the rails, shepherded by calm
boobies"

"A lot you blokes know about horses!"
he said, looking me straight in the eye.
I was about to agree with him, but

My suspicion became a certainty. Bed

expert.
"I'l let you off this time" said the
bobby" "but you've got to give me a
Darby day tip to make up"
Bedford rallied temporarily and prom

and we rolled of to the Spread Eagle.
There wasn't anything could do

so that night Bedford walked out to

then came back and helped me pack

The day dawned bright and clear,
and in the early morning sunshine
Bedford and motored out to the
Downs, to get there before the crowd
started assembling. All our belongings
were packed and stacked in the car, my
hotel bill was paid and we were ready
to get out Of town on moments notice.
We parked the car as near the inclosure
as possible, and went in to visit the
horse quarters of to the left Of the
track, to see the thoroughbreds arrive
in their luxurious private coaches. AS
they stalked proudly down the gang
planks, their funkies almost broke their
necks to see that; they didn't stumble.
They were led to their private dressing
rooms, from which they would finally
be cantered out by the lucky jockeys
who would ride them to victory or de-
feat. There was a hush-hush atmos-
phere around those stables, and it took
a written order from the steward Of the
track to get permission to shoot photos.
There is always the possibility that some
hair-trigger-trained horse harboring an
aversion to lowly -wielders might
become temporarily upset which
might cause him to lose the race.
AS WE passed the gate from the horse
quarters a varied crowd, represent
ative Of every phase Of human life, was
pouring in. There were men and women
who obviously had slept in their clothes,
under hedges, somewhere; last-minute
push-cart venders of every imaginable
sort of quick eats, towering "bobbies,"
brothers OF those already stationed at
every outside street corner, lining the
rail to try vainly to keep the crowd in
