F. Scott Fitzgerild wrote "The Great Gatsby" as a society satire, and Becky Gardiner, who scenariaed It. and Elizabeth Meehan, the adaptor, have carried out the author's motive.

The vogue seems to be on the rise. Doubtless, some are attracted to the box office by the fetish that anything Gall'e must be off color.

While some of the art dlspiays are liberal in their exposes it Is not as an exhibition of cuticle that "Artlsta and Models" has achieved fame and patronage. It is a bang-up entertainment throughout its kaleidoscopic fcrty-odd scenes. Phil Baker and the eighteen Gertrude Hoffmann Girls, to say nothing of the spectacular ensembles, are whole shows la themselves. When one contemplates the amazing performance that Miss Hoffmann's protegees provide, one thinks. "Who said weaker sex?" Curtain tonight at 8:15.

Capitol Marshall Nellan, whose latest Paramount production, "Everybody's Acting," which opened at the Capitol Theater last night, has every reason to feel pleased with his work. It Is a human and humorous little picture that tells a straightforward story with smoothness, sincerity and a wealth of colorful atmosphere. Nellan not only directed the photoplay, but wrote the story as well. Its background la the theater and In the story gives glimpses of the backstage life of the traveling stock company. The author-director showed rare Judgment In his choice of players.

Seldom has such a collection of seasoned favorites been assembled In one production. Betty Bronson Is ideally cast as the wistful little orptfaa who Is adopted by five god -fathers. She Is natural as a girl of 8 and charming as a miss of 18. Ford Sterling, Raymond Hitchcock, Henry Walthall, Stuart Holmes and Edward Martladel acquit themselvea with distinction In the roles of the fathers. Lawrence" Gray makes a romantic taxlcab driver and Louise Dresser is splendid as Larry's mother who divides her time between running her home and managing a big business organization.

The plot revolves around Betty, who grows up under the loving care of her foster fathers, knowing nothing of the tragic circumstances surrounding her parentage. It is Miss Dresser who, In an effort to break up the romance between Betty and Larry, uncovers the unpleasant fact that Betty's father murdered her mother and was hanged for the crime. The feature vaudeville attraction for the first half of the week "Modena's Fantastic Revue." an expertly directed and lavishly staged tabloid musical production. Countess Modena, a European violinist of note, heads the east wltjj Bishop and Lynn, two remarkable dancers, lending able support. The company is a good one and the act Is considered one of vaudeville's big headliners.

Paul Bydell with his dog "Spotty" an animal of unusual intelligence, will have an Important place on the bill. Mr. Bydell Is also a capable violinist but the results that he has obtained in training this dog are the high lights of the act. "Daddy and the Baby," Is a humorous sketch presented by Edwards and Morrts that pokes a lot of innocent fun at some complicated domestic situations. A skit called "On the links of Melody" will bring four attractive young women to the Capitol stage In a tuneful and delightfully entertaining number.

This la a well written act that gives each member of the quartet an opportunity to appear to advantage Individually. A comedy roller skating act will be presented by the Nathano Brothers. Burlesque Is the paramount feature of this bit of entertainment, but It also Includes some particularly difficult stunts. Majestic The double feature bill at the Majestic Theater this week consists of two of che season's successes, one a drama of modern life and the other a thrilling story of a metropolitan fire department.

Is exemplified again In "Bar-delys the Magnificent." his Metro-Oold-wyn-Mayer production starring John Gilbert, which is playing at the Strand Theater lor the entire week. "Bardelys" deals largely with figures of ancient royalty and even the most casual student of the drama realizes the difficulty of making Ills species of character appear human, and the difficulty is magnified when it is a costume picture as Is this one. Von Strohelm, in "The Merry Widow," put the royal family Into a petty, middle-class squabble, with the prince and crown princess having their ears soundly boxed by the queen.

It was a touch that made them at once real human beings. In "Birdelys," as the royal train moves trough France, the king spies a beautiful winding river. Halting the train he takes everybody in wading Royal ladles in waiting, couriers, knights, minstrels and all, bare their legs to tne knees and splash around In the water. It Is a delightful touch and entirely plausibie because st the time of the story, the Seventh Century, King Louis XIII was a very young man and still of unreserved and boyish bearing. A great supporting cast is seen In tho production, Including Eleanor Boardman bb leading woman.

This is graphically shown on a chart of motor vehicle and air craft regulation which has been com piled by the department. Commissioner Stoeckel of the Connecticut department pointed ouw In a recent address that In the early stages of motor vehicle laws, a motor vehicle administrator had few. If any, safety duties. The early problem was almost entirely to Issue registrations and numbers; but, he explained, the reg lstratlon law, and the operator's license law, have provided such an excellent foundation upon which to base police supervision and such good ldentinca tion of cars and operators that it has been natural for each lawmaking body, from time to time, as necessary for control and discipline arose, to make safety laws founded upon and enforceable through these two systems. Objects of Laws.

Today, each motor vehicle law has two equslly important objectives: to gather revenue and Insure public safety. The safety activities of the Con necticut department nave been extend ed as the traffic In the state Increased. In 1919, the first year when the staw law required the reporting of motor vehicle accidents, 1987 such accidents were reported to the department. At that time, there were slightly more than 100.000 cars registered in the state. Last year, with about two ana one-half times as many motor vehicles registered.

22.568 accidents were reported to the department, anf there will be more accidents reported this year. If tne present rate continues. The motor vehicle department now engages in twelve different safety activities: (1) disciplining of regis trants and operators, (2) publshlng safety documents and bulletins and giving of puDlic saiety addresses, wj co-operating with the state police. (4) co-operating with the state highway department, (5) co-operating with the public utilities commission which con trols public service lines, (B) approval oi headlleht devices, (7) maintaining in' terstate motor vehicle relations, (81 preparing statistics and newspaper ana radio publicity; (B) co-operaimg wuu cltv polce departments, (10) co-operat. lng with automobile and civic clubs and schools, (11) requiring sale loca tion of gasoline stations, and (iz maintaining federal motor vehicle relations.

Classification of Rules. The department has an equal num ber of other activities, six revenue-pro- duclne and six non-revenue producing "The revenue-producing activities have to do with (1) vehicle and aircraft fees (2) operator's license fees, (3) gasoline taxes and licenses, (i court i fees for providing copies of operators' records, and (6) forfeited bonds and fees for lens and engine tests.

Politics may be the favorite pastime of the national capital, but It has one rival golf. Party lines are discarded when golf takes the floor.

Witness the old sena-v torial foursome at the Burning Tree Club. It has grown to several foursomes now: It Includes cabinet officers, senators, career officers of the government, political lame ducks and folks who are "Just non-polltlcal Wasljlng-tonlans. Started By Harding. President Harding, a charter member In tils senatorial days, sounded the non-polltlcal keynote of the weekly gathering of the golf faKhful that was to survive Soon after Ills elevation to the White House he hastened out to renew the pleasant associations of golf-and-breakfast with his former Senate colleagues at the Burning Tree. Said a fellow stalwart of the Q.

O. "Well, Mr. President, let'a beat these democrats." "Democrats?" said the President, "There are no democrats here. Just golfers." Golf-And-Breakfast Group. Secretary, the Senator Kellogg was a member of the early golf-and-breakfast group.

He still Is. He's among the most faithful, for his state department duties tie him close to Washington even In campaign years. And he shoots an amazingly "good game. Notably a nervous man, the little, white haired dean of the cabinet, slightly bent of shoulder with much desk work, docs not look athletic. But when he draws lead on a golf ball, It's more than apt than not to go about where he desires.

It Is his present day lament that while he once shot the best golf in the Senate, he has failed thus far to capture the cabinet championship. Dwlght Davis, the war secretary, former national tennis champion, and donor of the Davis Cup, Is too young and too husky for him. Davis and Secretary Jardlne of the agriculture department are among the golf-and-breakfast devotees as are Senators Hale of Maine, Butler ot Massachusetts, and Harrison of Mississippi, and former Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. They may be politicians, cabinetmakers, senators or what not, at other times, but once a week, they're Just golfers and breakfasters. Central Dramatic Club To Present Pageant Dec.
