When
LVt'EOl THEATEB.
Wallace Ke-ed. injects his
breezy personality into a smashing
fiu-ce comedy like "The Lottery Man."
screen audiences can expert thing's to
1mm. Many in the big holiday crowds
fit. the Lyceum theater yesterday,
where the Faramount-Artcraft picture,
opened for the tirst half of the week,
recalled when the original story
-scored such an emphatic hit on
Broadway as a stage play some nine
years ag'O and later repeated that suc
cess on the road. . t'ertinly Cyril Scott,
the orisrinl star in the production,
never offered a. more enjoyable or
technically perfect performance in. the
role of the hero than does handsome
Wallace E.eid.
'"The Lottery Man" is abov e the av
erage run of screen comedies, not
only because it embodies a. brand new,
laugh-g'ett ills' idea,, but also because it
is unusually well executed. Jack
Wright, played by Wallace Reid. is a.
newspaper reporter, in debt to his
boss, who must produce a big1 story
that will boost the paper's circulation
sky-high. " Me hits upon the scheme,
of conducting' a lottery through the
paper, offering- to marry the woman
holding: the winning- coupon. The pa
per starts the campaign and Jack
falls in love with "the only girl." He
tries, in vain to call the lottery off---a.nd
a homely old maid holds the fate
ful ticket: The side-splitting- manner
in which he wiggles out of the mess is
certainly rich.
The entire prog-ram of the Lyceum
can be said to be beyond comparison.

SOME SHOW YOU'LL SAY IT I
Brlggs' animated cartoon, "Rainy
Days," is a real scream, funny?
We'll say so. But. it has a close rival
us a laugh provoker in a, Star com
edy. "Ain't Nature' "Wonderful?"
"The Aerial Honeymoon" is a. scenic
comedy act with a full stage special
setting which makes a real vaudeville
hit with the. audience. Rarely have
Nw Britain theater patrons seen a
more clever, amusing or spectacular
production." Another splendid act is
Black and Ca-rr, who sre top notchers
in song and jest. Their rapid and nu
merous changes are captivating"- In
Mildred Haywood, singing- comedi
enne, tbero is a snap and dash which
makes one wish her stay before the.
footlights was of considerable greater
length. The Lyceum program is a.
lengthy one. The popular verdict is,
it's some show. ad you'll say it.
TO-VS THEATER.
Buck Jones, former cowpimcJter,
expert roper, revolver shot and horse
man, a nd an. A. E. F. veteran, has th
stellar role in "The Last Straw," a,
t horoughly "Western drama, of the wild
and wooly. Buok Jones has nearer
before attempted to transfer to the
screen his powor in these various
lines and it was not until one of the
Fox directors discovered this young
man doing feats of skill and daring
on his favorite "horsfi and for his
own amusement' that he ever thought
of becoming a movie actor. He is a
well set-up young man, full of lite and
a. faculty" of placing- these virtues in
his pictures. Buck Jones is1 by no
means a. rival as yet of the great Mix',
but he has all the opportunity in the
world and the a.p pea ranee! of making
good. "The Last Straw" relates the
story of a young- and happy Cow
puncher, who comes to the rescue of
a. pretty Eastern . girl. There are
cattle thieves' planning to rob the girl
and rustle her cattle. Jri this gang
and in fact one of the leaders of th
thieves is the foreman of the girls
ranch. Buck Jones, as the cowboy,
Tom, discovers th proposed theft, re
lates the. fact, to the girl and she
makes him foreman. A lively battle
between the cowpuncherrf and the
gang foHows in which Tom proves
himself a man with all the grit, dar
ing and love of the "Westerner. Larry
Semoii, rival of Charlie Chaplin, is
on the bill and kept the large aud
ience in a continual roar with hi
funny antics and comedy stunts in
his latest hit. "The Head Waiter."
Larrv Semons is distinctly original.

ire has no need to follow in the foot
steps of, others,, he has the stuff that
all g-ood comedians have.- There are
several other short subjects on the
btH as well as a vaudeville program
of fino merit.
PRIMROSE MIN STRELS.
Primrose minstrels, ' famous .the
world over for their black face sonars,
dances and comedy are the big- vau
deville, attraction at Fox's theater for
the. first liaJC of tJie. present week. Irs.
Primrose, wife of the noted minstrel
man, acts asi interlocutor, alteTnating
with vMr. Severs, who accompanied
Mr. Primrose on his tours of the
world for the past 10 years. John
Gross, another member of the trotipe,
is th champion operator of the bones
in the world. For years Mr. Goss
name has been, toefore the theater
going; publre of this oovtntiy. !Matiy
are the old-timers that traveled to
Ha-rtford in the years gone by that
will recognize one of their old favor
ites Sa Mr. Goss. Dan Haley, great
est living- tajrnbo player of the world,
is also a. meinber of this wonderful
organiza.tion. Mrs. Primrose, in plac
ing this minstrel offering" before the
American public, is fulfilling a wish
expressed by her husband before his
death, that the name of Primrose
should not. leave the American stag-e.
Booth Piatt, another famous stage
favorite, and a basso of good attain
ments, gives an exceptionally splendid
rendition of the charming- ballad.
"The Billowy Sea." All in all it is a
pleasing and highly trained troupe
that accompanies Mrs. George Prim
rose, in her efforts to keep alive the
name of Primrose, which fa'mily has
for 1 he past 50 years been represented
on the stage of this country. Let it
bo said that the. vaudeville stage of
New Britain has never before held
such an assortment of famous min
strels or it would be even safe to say
that never before have New Britain
theatergoers seen on a vaudeville pro
gram more famous men or better entertainers.

Film Wrecks the Teeth 1
That slimy film which you feel on your teeth causes most
tooth troubles. Every modern dentist knows that. And for
years dental science has sought a way to combat it.
Film is what discolors not the teeth. It is the. basis of
tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms
acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, arc the
chief cause of pyorrhea.
Now science knows a way to combat it. The way is em
bodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. It is now used daily
on millions of teeth, largely by dental advice. To those who
don't know it we supply a free tube, so they may find it out.
Old Ways Don't End It
This film is clinging. It enters crevices and stays. The
tooth brush doesn't end it. The ordinary tooth paste does
not dissolve it. That's why millions find that well-brushed
teeth discolor and decay.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin.
The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is
to dissolve it, then to constantly combat it.
But pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid
harmful to the teeth. So this method long seemed barred.
Now science has found a harmless activating, method, and
teeth can now be daily cleaned as they never were before.
