The program described what he had to of fer as "A thrilling. Romantic Comedy Drama," »-hich was a pretty big bill to fill, when you look it over. How ever, it was ail of that, and each com ponent part fulfilled itself remarkably fittingly, and well. The gigantic size of the majority of the male portion of the cast rather amazed the audience, but after it had caught its breath and ceased to marvel, the enjoyment of the hearty good-humor of the play com pletely absorbed their attention. Andrew Mack, of course, command ed first attention, and deserved it. His conception of Judy McCann, whom he impersonated in order to win a wager from the arch villian of the play. Cap tain Eammersley, was exceptionally funny and won the hearts of his fel low actors as well as those on the other side of the footlights. He was ably matched oft with Miss Gilda Leary, as Lucy Dashwood, a dashing young lady who was naturally the bone of contention between the hero and the villain, and was the pivot about which the plot revolved. The scenes were laid in Ireland and Spain and the play lent itself to the expression of considerable Irish wit. Lieutenant Sparks as a young and romantic En glishman, was very much enjoyed, and his appearances on the stage was the signal for outbursts of appreciative merriment. Miss Josephine Stevens as the Captain's sister had the appeal-" ing dark eyes which captivated 'Sparks' and lent an additional air of feminine charm which would other wise have left the situation a little too exclusively masculine. The inclination toward melodrama which certain portions of the play sug gested may be pardoned as necessary to the successful culmination of the plot and since the hero escaped from prison just in time to tight to the death a duel with the villain for the hand of the heroine. Everybody was entirely satisfied. MAX ROBERTSON. HUGH HERBERT, THE FAVORITE STAR IS HERE Easily the most interest is centered in the headliner that will be uncovered at the Majestic Theater for the first half of the week than any attraction that has been at the new home of vaudeville. This is because Hugh Her bert is the star of the act and also he cause it will be the first opportunity ! Ilarrisburg has had to see him in his newest playlet called "The Sons of Abraham." Now that Mr. Herbert is announced for his newest offering here, there is little doubt but what vaudeville fans generally will turn out In great numbers. His new act tells the story of an old Jew who thrusts his fortune to his two sons and they play pitch and toss with it until they are in an awful mess. The tele phone plays a neat bit in the sketch, the lines are pungent, original and quaint. Mr. Herbert has a beautifully genu'ne touch of the Hebrew perfect dialect, and his make-up is a picture.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Interesting Career of Am erica's Greatest Dancer *3Bb@K£ Contrary to the general belief, Ruth St. Denis, whose fame as an Oriental dancer has encircled the globe, is an American girl and began her work In musical comedy. Her first professional appearance was with "The Passing Show." From musical comedy she passed to (he management of David Belasco, remaining under the direction of the wizard of the stage managers for five years. It was while under the tutelage of Mr. Helasco that she first gained her knowledge of stagecraft and lighting effects—a knowledge which has been inevitable to her In the creation of her Oriental dances. Miss St. Denis first offered her Oriental dances in a Xew York vaudeville theater. Later she appeared in London, Berlin, Vienna and under her own management, meeting with far greater snccct?. than ?ny other dance artist ever attained. Her success was so great that bet- foreign engagements were extended from one to four years, after which slio returned to America where her own people recognized in her the wonderful artist who had set all Europe talking and worshipping at her shrine.

An Interesting sidelight on how the world-wldo activities of Detroit's best known and most active citizen, Henry Ford, are being viewed locally came to light to day when the officers of the Detroit branch of the National Security League found on an armory shelf n tarnished silver cup which Mr. Ford, peace crusader, presented to the Michigan militia five years ago as a marksmanship trophy. It will soon decorate some downtown window. At the time of presentation Mr. | Ford, according to the officers, told them that "every man should know 1 how to shoot." 9
