SAW-CONQUERED
Cast of Giants Refreshingly
Combined With Pretty
Girls at Orpheum
The much-heralded, genial-souled
Andrew Mack came to Hs-rrisburg Sat
urday afternoon and evening, saw and
was seen by a certain number of peo
ple, and undoubtedly conquered. 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.

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.

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. Kuth St. Denis and her com
pany comes to the Orpheum Wednesday night, Dec. 15th.—Advertisement.

An appeal to the rulers of Europe

monarch, reading:
"Sir: We come In this time of

but to help lift them; not to Con

"The love of country for which

Peace Crusaders Gave
Cup to Sharpshooters
Detroit, Dec. 18. 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."
