CAPITOL AND EDENDALE

TWO BIG COMEDIES Something exceptional in comedy programmes is offered this evening at both the Capitol and Edendale Theatres, when two big comedies will be shown on the same programme. The two comedies are, first the popular Reginald Denny in his latest success, “That’s My Daddy,” and second that uproarious story, “Two Flaming Youths.” The two “vouths” are those two moustached comedians, W. C. Fields and Chester Conklin, who have at last been brought together after numerous individual screen and stage hits, to work as a team at laugh-pro-duction. It is a sort of second childhood flaming youth exhibition in which Fields, as a veteran showman, and owner of a struggling side show, and Conklin as a grizzled county sheriff, vie with each other for the affections of another “flaming youth”—the town widow, Cissy FitzGerald!' And how these two do flame! Conklin does his with a musical saw and Fields with an array of juggling tricks. “That’s My Daddy” is a delightful story of a little child fathered by Denny in an emergency, who persists in proudly telling everyone that “that’s my daddy,” much to Denny’s embarrassment. Barbara Kent plays opposite him, while the excellent supporting cast includes Lillian Rich. Tom O’Brien, Jane La Verne, Wilson Benge, Armand Kaliz and others.
