Muriel Stryker, the dancer who created a sensation by doing a routine with her body entirely covered with a bronw paint in the Ziegfeld "Follies" a few seasons ago, does the same bronze dancs as a climax to the current miniature revue. McDonald and Dayton offer as hilarious an interlude of rough and tumble comedy as 4his reviewer has seen in many a day. Lillian Price easily captures her shnre of the honors with her impersonation of Fannie Br ice doing her "Oi, Oi.

I'm an Indian" number and Chief Eagle Feather, resplendent in a pure white Indian costume, does some intricate tap dancing routines. Gaim Brothers are one of the features ol the unit and earn every bit. of their applause for the whirlwind acrobatic routine that they present, and Victor Valente. is pleasing in his song numbers. Ail of these features, et, ngHini-t the colorful background provided by the well-costumed ana well-trained F.m-chon and Marco ballet, provide almost an hour of solid entertainment Mich as has not graced the Capitol stage for many weeks.

On the screen William Haines is featured in "Speedway," a thrilling story of automobile racers which vas filmed against the authentic oack-ground of the famous Indianapolis track during the 5)0 mile racing classic last Decoration Day. Haines plays in his u.ual wi-e-crd-cking manner for com-dy.

Meriwether, Bridgeport to Attend Reunion New Haven.

tcclal.) Among the three men who share with Sergeant Alvin C. York the honor of partlc'pating in one of the most hetotr episodes of the World War are two Connjctlcut residents. Sergeant Bernard Elarly, of this city and Otis Merlthcw, of Bridgeport, who enlisted under the nnma of William U. Cutting. Mcruhew's identity has only Just been disclosed to the public.

It came about when York and his six surviving comrades were invited by the Army War College to go to Washington October 4 for their first reunion since the war and to attend the annual military exiositton at the war college. The whereabouts of three of the men are not known and their invitations were returned to Washington unopened. Unlisted as When Merithw received his he was work.ng as an employee of tne Brook-iine (Miss.) Highway Department and he approrched his superintendent, Darnel Lacy, with a request for time off. Asked the reason, according to the oclaled Press, he reluctantly produced a letter from the war collcga inviting him to the exposition. It was then revealed that Merithew and Corporal William Cutting, as he is mentioned in Sergeant York's book, are one and the fame Mrson.

Wounded, he fought beside the sergeant on tiie day when they killed 29 Germans and capturcxl 132. Merithew said he had enlisted In the Army under an assumed name "for no particular reason." He was living nt that time in Bridgeport. After the war, he wrote the War Department giving his true name, but he never made a publjn explanation until yesterday, Honor. A trick of fate turned the spotlight of publicity and Rlory away from Early and full upon York after the exploit. York went back to Tennessee hailed as the greatest Individual hero of the war and York didn't deny it.

Later evidence, however, showed that Early was entitled jo Just a.s murh honor. Early was InVommand of the outfit, composed mostly of Ncw Englanders, which took part in the attack and capture ot 'he 132 Germans. He was wounded during the engagement and York took command, leturning with the prisoners to the rear of the American lines. An American magazine writer jumped at the opportunity presented for producing just fuch nn individual hero of the war as the American public had been looking.

IlKllteiJ not 'Student Prince Players Heard In mCProgram Old Hcidclbcrjr Songs Presented in Special Radio Broadcast Members of the "Student Prince" company, playing at Parsons' Theater the first three days of week presented as enjoyable programs of pongs and comedy skits over radio Station WTIC Sunday night. The rollicking "Drinking Song" and the famous "Marching Bong of Old Heidelberg were high spots of the program, which began at 9:15 and lasted until 9:45. Ieo Stark, principal comedian of the cast, was in charge of the program. Inc'udd on the program were "The Student Serenade," a duet by the Prince and Kathle, "Deep in My Heart and the military number "Just We Two'' from the third act. The program ended by repeating the "Drinking Song." James F.

Clancy, manager of the station, sa'dthe response of the radio audience was enthusiastic. Sixtv members of the cast, including all the principals and E. J. Carpenter, director of the show, were at the studio of Station WTIC. More than 40 voices were heard during the program.

County Choral Society Strand Has Fine Show In Colors 'Cold Diggers of Broadway' lias Smashing Climax Winnie Lightncr Steals Picture "The Gold Diggers of Broadway" have staked out a cla'm at th" Strand this week and have a iich vein of precious' entertainment metal. Here is the Avcry-Hopwood-David farce of several seasons ago all tricked out in a lavish new dress that almost makes unrecognizable as an old f.iend. Here Is the Avery Hopwosd-David to the fastest and almost colorful climax that we have sec.i since the advent of the talkies. We saw "Gold Diggers'' at a midnight preview Friday night when there were not more than or 30 persons scattered ihrough the theater. Admittedly it is difficult to gauge the value of a picture under such circumstances; one should see a picture with a full house in attendance to get the real aud.ence reaction But when the picture built up t3 its smashing, whirlwind climax we amazed to suddenly find ourself s.t-ting on the edge of our seat applauding enthusiastically.

We looked around us and every one of that small audience watching the screening was doing exactly the same tiling. We would ask no better of worth than this for, with the single exception of the prev.ew of "Tiie Cock Eyed World" a few weeks ago. we have never before seen a preview audience warm to a picture to be moved to applause. "Gold Diggers of Broadway" is the second all-talking, technicolor extravaganza to be released by Warner Brothers and Is a vast improvement over "On With the Show its predecessor. It is staged in the best musical comeely manner and even goes the musical comedy field one better in lavlshness of sets and production.

True, it has its dreary stretches but who ever saw a musical comedy without them? In "Gold Diggers" these few slow scenes are more than offset by the many highly entertaining sequences to be seen in its unreeling. The musical score is well above the average of other revusical talkies date and we have no hesitancy in predicting that "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine," and "Tiptoe Throtuh the Tulips" will soon be among the country's maior radio evils. "Gold Diggers" is also distinguished by as nice a bit of grand larcenv as have had the pleasure to see in many a day. Miss Winn.e Ligh'-ner. a welcome recruit, from the fold of George White's "Scandals." is responsible for the piracy, stealing the show with a minimum of effort from such splendid revue performers ist Ann Pennington, Nick Lucas.

Li'yan Tashman and Nancy Welford. Miss Lightner is not what might be described a.s a subtle comedienne She is distinctly lowbrow but you'll i have a grand time laughing at her i forjlerles if you will just park yo.ir old Yankee conservatism behind the' clock on the mantle before you set out to see "Gold Diggers." Nick Lucas docs the heavy ballad work in the showin fact he is used so often that he begins to become wearisome after his half doz'-n numbers. And delightful little Ann Pennington is a.s entrancing as ever in her lew opportunities to hypno-' t.e with her twinkling If "Gold Diggers" had no other claim on our interest it would linger long in our memory as the first pl.t-' ture in which we have ever seen Con-! way Tmrie act, like a human being.
