BELLA DONNA
Pola Negri‘s New Planes Is Superb-—
Combines My and m. -
Superbly portrayed and massively
produced. "Bella Donna." Polo. Nogri's_
first American made raramount pic-
ture. "Bella Donna." was. rapturously
greeted by capacity audiences at. the
Regent and Palace Theatres yester-
day. "Bella. Donna" is a tremendous
story as all who read Robert Hitchens’
great novel, are aware, and in the
portrayal of the role. Pola. Negrl
proves herself perhaps the greatest
dramatic and emotional actress on
the screen.
In this picture. for the first time.
Miss Negri is directed by an American
producer. George Fitzmaurice: photo-
graphed for the first time by Amer-
ican photographic methods and sup-
ported by two stellar leading men——
Conway Tearle and Conrad Nagel and
Lois Wilson. a popular Paramount
leading woman. It is a. production
long to be remembered by the pic-
ture-going public. and those who miss
seeing it will be deprived oi! rare en-
tertainment. This feature continues
today and tomorrow.

RIALTO THEATRE
Presents Thrilling Melodrama “The
binary and Nine" For “’edncs-
day, Thursday nnd Friday
-—Milton Sills Today
A raging forest fire that threatens
the lives of the inhabitants of a
village. the dash through the burn-
ing forest in a locomotive and cars
to save these people, the terrific con-
flagraiion that all but destroys the
hero’s life—these are but some of
the thriUlng scenes that are woven
into the picturization of the old
stage melodrama "The Ninety and
Nine" which will be shown at the
Rialto Theatre on \Vednesday.
Thursday and Friday of this week.
Today the final showing of "\Vhat
A Wife Learned." featuring Milton
Sills and a capable cast. will be had
at the Rialto.
STRAN D THEATRE
There was a. day when no self-re-
specting horse. permitted in a certain
exclusive circle, would go prancing
around in public disrobcd. That day
was ck in the Twelfth Century in
En and during the reign of King
lachard I. Every character privileged
to hobnob with knights was amply
provided with gorgeous raiment bear-
ing the emblem of its knightly owner
so that it might be distinguished
from all others. The kind of trap-
pings used in those romantic and
thrilling times are to be seen on the
horses appearing in Douglass Fair-
banka' super-production. "Douglass
Fairbanks in Robin Hood." a United
Artists release, now playing to the
Strand Theatre. Stamford. and tho
effect is quite bizarre to tho public
of this generation. accustomed as We
are to having all manner of styles of
motor cars cross our daily vision.
According to present-day authori-
ties on .the history of the Norman
period a knight's steed was never al-
lowed to go out of its stable without
being garbsd correctly. and. it seems
logical to assume the animals in~
stinctively became so used to "being
dressed for the street" that they
would be most reluctant to venture
out otherwise.
These equine robes were noted
for their ornateness and they served
no useful purposes such as protec-
tion against foes or the natural ele-
ments. It was just plain. every-day
style then among knights and the
style was inspired by the conven-
ience afforded for making prominent
on mounts the crests by which they
could always be known. The store-
said convenience is made quite no-
ticeable in the course of the exciting
action in “Douglas Fairbanks in Ro-
bin Hood."
Sucre! Messieurs the
Football, Shes Rough
PARIS. May 8.—French rugby foot-
ball has become so rough that the
Rugby Federation is considering the
advisability of revising the rules so
that severe penalties may be levied on
clubs and players guilty of roughing.
The French sporting papers are un-
sparing in their criticisms of the Toul-
ouse-Biarrita match recently played as
the seml~flnal 1n the French cham—
pionships. The match was termed as
an “example of street fighting." for
Toulouse finished with twelve players
of its fifteen men on the disabled llst.
The Biarrlts casualties were eleven.
No substitutes are allowed in French
rugby. Rough work is not due to the
rules governing the game. which is
much more open than American col-
lege football. but to the keen rivalries
between the teams representing the
diflrent parts of the country. An of-
* fending player is never ruled on the
field unless his opponent is rendered
completely unconscious.
Kilbane Posts a ~
Forfeit for Dundee
News came from Cleveland yester-
day that Johnny Kilbane. world's fea-
certifled check for $10,000 to the
New York State Athletic Cemmla-
. alon, to go as a guarantee that he
would meet Johnny Dundee in a bout
for the title within six months after
his bout with Eugene Criqui. the
French challenger. at the Polo
Grounds on June 2.
Dundee has a prior claim on Kil-
bane as a. result. of his challenge
lodged with the New York Commis-
sion.
O'Rourke had a talk with Johnny
Dundee on Saturday and Dundee in-
formed him that he was going to step
aside in favor o! the Kflbans and
Criqul bout and would pod a forfeit
of 810.000 himfielf. guaranteeing that
he would meet the winner.
