MODERN DAUGHTER SURPRISE TO PARENT Patsy Ruth Miller in "Daughter of Todays" Christie ETectrie comedy, "The New Sheriff," and the First National Kino grams. Next week Louise Fazenda and Harry Myers in "Listen Lester." "Daughters of Today" is heralded as one of the outstanding pictures of the year and an opener" for sons and daughters. It has discussion in other' cities where it has been shown, owing to the frankness of its portrayal of conditions among younger people. The story is one which Is said to truthfully reflect the extent to which so many daugh ters of today are drifting away from the standards which for so many generations have been set and maintained for their protection. In a dramatic story abounding in love interest, pathos, humor, suspense and mother love, the experiences of a young girl in' a college town are shown, with petting parties, wild revels in road houses, a poker party, a midnight bathing frolic and other episodes which frequently figure in the public prints.

Underlying the dramatic action is said to be a strong and timely moral. "Where'" are the daughters of today drifting?" How many parents know the company their children keep?" Who is to blame when tragedy stalks into the home?" These are some of the questions asked and answered. "Daughters of Today'" pens the eyes of many a mother and father to conditions among the younger generation which are badly in need of remedy. An exceptionally capable cast includes Patsy Ruth Miller, Ralph Graves, Edna Murphy, Philo McCullough, Phillips Smalley, Zazu Pitts, Edward Hearne and Gertrude Claire. In the ensemble are more beautiful flappers than a Ziegfeld chorus.

The program includes a Christie comedy, "The New Sheriff," and the First National Kinograms. Next week, 'Listen Lester," starring Louise Fazenda and Harry Myers. DENNY FAST WORKER IN SPORTING YOUTH Reginald Denny and Laura La Plante in "Sporting Youth;" Harry Langdon in Pathe com edy, "Picking Peaches," and the Pathe News. Next Week: Colleen Moore and Kenneth Harlan in "April Showers," and Leon Barry and Edna Murphy in "King of Wijd Horses." At the Hippodrome this week is a picture in which Reginald Denny "strides" through the picture at a hundred miles per hour. All previous attempts at speed rate are as "slow motion" in comparison to the whirl of "Sporting Youth," a Universal Jewel production.

Denny is noted in the Hollywood film colony for his excessively fast driving. He is a wonderful driver and likes to play tag wth the best racers. But his craving for speed was entirely 'satisfied during the filming of. his latest feature. It is a story of automobile racing, written by Byron Morgan, uuthor of the famous "Roaring Road stories published in the Saturday Evening Post.

The climax of the story comes in a big road race, and all of the thrill of such a race has been caught by the camera for the Denny film. The rond race was staged at San Luis Obispo, near Monterey, California, and many of the most famous drivers in the country drove in it. Denny, by the way, proved himself a first rate racing driver. Denny is supported by Laura La Plante and an all star cast. Harry A.

Pollard directed the picture. PUPIL OF PAVLOWA IS STAR AT RAJAH "Tarmark," an attraction billed as "A Night in a Russian Carnival." Keith vaudeville headllner at Ra.lah, continues to draw a large number of people every afternoon and evening to Rajah theatre. The bizarre, fascinating Russian music, the unique dances, and the gorgeous scenic and postun. wig effects, create a big effct on the beholder and are a colorful, musical reproduction of such a carnival of any large city in old Russia. Theodore Stepanol'f, the producer, has a large company of Russians of both spxps in the art.

Harry Jolson, brother of Al Jolsnn. in a comedian par excellence. There are few blackface players who can compare with him. His method is much like that of the late George Evans, but in addition he has an exceptionally fine singing voice, a voice of almost operatic timber. This fact makes his travesty of operatic scenes not only ncream but a musical treat.

Dave Ferguson In a comedy skit, "The Lucky Stiff;" Diaz Monkeys, a big animal attraction, and Boyd Senter. the one man orchestra, playing a large variety of instruments, with the motion pictures, completes the bill for the first three days this week.

CAPITOL NOW PLAYING A TREMENDOUS HIT "Daughters of Today" All Star PATSY RUTH MILLER MOVIES UNCOVERED CATHEDRAL SECRETS ARCADIA "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," with Lon Cheney. Many Interesting and little known facts about tho romantic history of the ancient Cathedral of Notre Dame were brought to light during the exhaustive research work conducted as a prelude to the filming of Victor Hugo's classic, "The Hjunchback of Notre Dame," now at the Arcadia.

One of the most interesting of these legends is concerned with the monarch Prudentius. Notre Dame stands on the site of the oldest basilica of the capital, constructed even before the Cathedral of Hainte Etienne Martyr, whieh was long considered to be the most Excavations made under the present cathedral and on the Place de Parvis Notre Dame, especially those of 1847, confirmed this The original edifice consecrated to Notre Dame was built by Prudentius, and was a basilica without a 'transept, the roof being sustained by columns of marble and pavements deco rated with mosaics. At the end of tne sixtn century, tne Dotn cnurcnes were standing, so near each other1 that they almost The basilica of Sainte Pierre and Sainte Paul, built by Clovia, was on the summit of the hill on the slopes of which stood the Palais des Thermes. The legend relates that Prudentius, having seclected the site, measured the ground to be devoted to the church by hurling his francisque, or, double headed battle axe, te the utmost point his strength permitted. He did not live to see it completed, but the work was finished by.

his widow, Clotilda. It was Maurice de Saully, Bishop of Paris, who, in 1163, demolished the ancient bascilia laid the first stone of the present structure. Pope Alexander III pre elded at the ceremony. i MEET THE WIFE AT 0RPHEUMT0M0RR0W Laugh and the world laughs with you may be an excellent proverb, but fun makers in the land of make believe prefer to have the world laugh at them not only when their faces assume the proportions of a hyeniBh grimace but also when a particularly amusing situation finds their countenances wreathed in gloom or bewilderment. Augusta.

Boylston, featured player in the brilliant comedy, "Meet the Wife," coming to the Orpheum tomorrow night, direct from a 33 weeks run at the Klaw New York City, falls into this category. "A true comedian or comedienne," explained Miss Boylston, "does not depend on his or her own laughs to bring similar expressions from his or her audience. Some people laugh uproariously simply because the person they are watching enjoys a huge laugh. This is but a mechanical trick and does not indicate the person in question is a trained and able fun producer. As a matter of fact, the real comedian or comedienne does not depend on his own laughter, but rather on the entire gamut of human emotions as expressed by the face and translated into language by the artist as the situation arises in order to get the real one hundred per cent, bellows of hilarity.

"There is so much to evoking hearty laughter on the part of an audience that it is really surprising someone well versed in the art hasn't found the time to write a book of instructions about it. They say comedians are born and not made. That is erroneous. Comedians may be born, yes, 'but if they don't develop they wither like a rose torn from its bush. Time and experience make the real comedian or comedienne.

Put a healthy laugh role in the hands of inexperienced players, and they will miss more than half the laughs the lines and situations merit. That is why so much care must be taken in the selection of a cast for a comedy, much more so than in the selection of a dramatic cast.
