CAPITOL THEATRE NEWS AND PROGRAM Vol. V     Allston, Mass., January 23, 1928     No. 22 MOORE FUN FOR NEXT WEEK Captivating Colleen is here again as the wistful waitress of the lunch-wagon... the dazzling debutante of the Ritz... the daredevil aviatrix who goes tail-spinning into society. It's quite the merriest fun-film Colleen has ever given you... with the kind of a story that keeps you guessing and gasping for one solid hour. Colleen Moore in "HER WILD OAT" NEXT WEEK A Saber Straight to the heart! They fought like madmen! The treacherous Becque for desert leadership -- Major Beaujolais for France! Jumping! Dashing!

PARAMOUNT PRESENTS "BEAU SABREUR" with GARY COOPER EVELYN BRENT NOAH BEERY WILLIAM POWELL From the novel of the same name by P. C. Wren, author of "Beau Geste." Capitorials HELLO FOLKS: We haven't used this column to express an opinion about a picture for a long time. In fact we don't like to devote this space to picture opinions as we know how personal tastes differ. However, we feel that perhaps it might be a good idea to occasionally tell you our own reaction to pictures when we preview them. Somehow or other even if the idea isn't so good we're going to tell you about a picture we saw, just the same. That's how good this picture is and it just got us, that's all. The name is "The Crowd," with Eleanor Boardman and James Murray, and it's human, it's a page from life, it's real. It starts with a smile, has a few good laughs, you then swallow hard, and end with that good old feeling that everything's going to be all right. These folks in the picture just live it right with you. It's about the man who could beat the crowd to the top of the ladder and the devoted wife who saw him thru his trials and tribulations. That may sould like many other movies, but believe us when we say it's different. Please see this picture at the Capitol for a real treat.     THANK YOU. FOR THE CHILDREN THIS SATURDAY 10 A.M.

WEEK AFTER NEXT - FEB. 6 Mary Pickford America's Sweetheart in "MY BEST GIRL" -- and -- LON CHANEY London After Midnight When I Go to the Movies I often wonder whether I should go in town and see the picture when it first comes out or wait until it comes to the Capitol. If I want to see it in town I have to believe the ad that "It's the greatest picture ever" and sometimes it's not. You see you never can tell if you're going to see a good picture. It's really speculation. But I will see a new picture anyway. If I wait a couple of weeks I'll see it at the Capitol IF IT IS A GOOD PICTURE and I'll also see another picture with it. I know that it will be good at the Capitol because they only choose those pictures that have proven themselves of merit either in this city or some other place that is has played previously. They have their pick of the entire product. Your ticket is really an ivenstment in good shows at the Capitol. The Capitol's bookings are on the next page. Let's see what they call good. We, the Capitol staff, have pledged ourselves to deliver at all times the utmost in service, courtesty and attention. We are here to make you comfortable by helping you in any way possible, that you may the better enjoy the performance. It is a pleasure rather than a duty to cater to your comfort, and we ask you to believe that we are amply repaid if we can in theslightest measure make you happy. Please do not offer us any gratuities. You are entitled to Capitol Service from the moment you part your car until you leave the theatre. SOME OF OUR COMING ATTRACTIONS H. B.
