••BRINGING HP FATHER'!
The very best rule for the occasional
theatergoer tt> make is to en to the
theater every time a Gus Hill show
comes to town, then there will be no
disappointment. The work of a suc
cessful producer will always be worthy
of your patronage. You've found it so
in all lines of business. Mr. Hill's
latest and we may say greatest, in
cartoon musical comedy production, is
founded on George McManus' cartoon
series, "Bringing Up Father," which I
comes to the Orpheum this evening. It's 1
a big vaudeville review, with real com
edy enough to make two more plays.
Don't miss it, and get your seats early.

CREATORE ATO HIS BAND
The press and public are unanimous
in acknowledging that there is no bet
ter conceit band in America than the
Creator# organization, and the world
has not produced another leader ' of
Creatore's ability. Elaborate comments

have been made regarding the soulful
feeling and artistic temperament so
strongly shown in the music that re
uponds to Creatore's baton. He is
unique and a revelation in his line so
that new beauties, novel ideas and a
variety of charms are shown in his
successful leadership. The pre-eminent
and distinguishing feature of a Crea
tore concert is its enjoyable quality.
This splendid organization will appeal
here for two concerts at the Orpheum,
Thursday afternoon and evening.—Ad-
vertisement.
OTIS SKIN N El»
"Cock o' the Walk," Otis Skinner's
new play, which he will present here
next Saturday, afternoon and evening
at the Orpheum, promises to be a radi
cal departure from most of Mr. Skin
ner's previous productions here. It
was written especially for him by
Henry Arthur Jones, the eminent Eng
lish dramatist. It pictures in a satici
cal way modern conditions of life in
England to-day among celebrated
player-folk.* The foibles and frailities,
the winning and ignoble traits of actors
are amusingly set forth by Mr. Jones.
"Cock o' the Walk" provides Mr. Skin
ner with an essentially humorous role,
l which he will doubtless embody to per
fection.—Advertisement.
FRANCES STARR COMING HERE IN
PLAY OF CONVENT LIFE
One of the most interesting
nouncements so far this season Is that
David Belasco will present the brilliant
young artiste, Frances Starr, at the
Orpheum, on Monday evening, October
11, In her latest success, "Marie-Odile"
In this play from the pen of Edward
Knoblauch, author of such plavs as
"Kismet," "The Faun." and '"Mile

stones," the latter in collaboration
with Arnold Bennett, Miss Starr con
tinued in exceptional popularity for
over Ave months at the Belasco Thea
ter, New York. She has the role of a
young novice in a convent who knows
nothing of the outside world and
wordly things. Never in her splendid
stage career, it is said, has Miss Starr
had so fine and appealing a role.—Ad
vertisement.
M ARIE DRESSLER ATTHE COLONIAL
Marie Dressier will continue to frolic
through "Tillie's Tomato Surprise" to
the delight of every "movie" fan who
comes within sight of the Colonial
| Theater's moving picture screen to
night. People who like to laugh, who
enjoy good, wholesome fun, will be
missing the treat of a lifetime, if they
overlook "the funniest woman in the
world." as Miss Dressier is known, in
this her latest effort. A Vitagraph
Blue Ribben feature, which features
Edith Storey and Antonio Moreno, en
titled "The Dust of Egypt." will he the
very Interesting attraction at the Colo
nial on Monday and Tuesday. In this
strangely interesting picture, Miss
Storey plays the part of a mysterious
Princess and it is almost needless to
add that critics say she does the part
exceedingly well. Miss Storey's art is
too well known to the average "movie"
goer, to r.eed any description.—Adver

HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH
HPHE formal opening of the
big, new Stieff piano build

a success—on an evening when
a cold October rain made a book
by the fireside far more alluring
than a visit to the business dis
trict—that we are continuing the
event throughout to-day.
•I All last evening the big, new store was
crowded with our many friends, and the ad
miration which they expressed for all that we
have done has more than repaid us for the ef
fort we have put forth to give Harrisburg a
"quality" piano store unequaled in all Penn
sylvania.
€][ To give the many hundreds of our friends,
kept in doors last night by the weather, an op
portunity to inspect Harrisburg's new home of
the Stieff piano we extend a cordial invitation
to the public to visit the store to-night.
Courteous salesmen will show you about the
building until 10 P. M.
