fj succeeded in adopting a general ten cent price for the Triangle pictures at the Colonial Theater
x beginning next Monday.
While the Triangle Company has always insisted that the evening prices at the theaters showing their
pictures should be not less than fifteen cents, they have now acceded to the request of the Colonial man
agement, with the result that beginning with the New Year the price of admission all over the theater,
evenings as well as afternoons, will be ten cents, for adults and five cents for children. The same good
service will be continued.

WHAT WOODEN MEN CAN DO
Midi Lillian Jewell HON n Whole Troupe

jfl R -.i
MISS LILLIAN JEWELL
If your wife has ever stooped to the
barbarlous habit of calling you a
wooden man there is some consola
tion in the thought that Miss Lillian
Jewell, a vaudeville woman, has in
vented a scheme by which wooden men
are very valuable. She has a whole
company of wooden men who give a
show all by themselves, and she is
going to bring her company to Harris
burg to-morrow to take part In the Ma
jestlc's bill for the latter half of the
week.
Miss Jewell's "Miniature Review" Is
an act in which artificial performers
give a whole show. It is a sort of
fheater-wlthin-a-theater and when she
has finished putting her wooden men
through their routine of stage work
the audience usually Is forced to won
de how these inanimate little creatures
are made to act so humanly. This
"Miniature Review" has an especial ap
peal to children, although the grown
ups are pretty sure to enjoy it too.
EMMA DUNN HERE FRIDAY
At the Orpheum Theater on Friday
and Saturday nights, with a Saturday
matinee, a new three-act drama by Lot
tie M. Meaney. entitled "Her Price,"
which has just ended a successful en
gagement at the Broad Street Theater
In Philadelphia, will be given its origi
nal presentation here, with the same
<ast and scenery as was shown in
Philadelphia.
Tiie principal character in the play,
that of Doris Fenton. will be portrayed j
by Miss Emma Dunn, best remembered
perhaps for her excellent acting in the
title part of "Mother," a few seasons
ago. The story of the play is centered
about a young woman «t birth and j
breeding whose means of livelihood,
since the death of her father, is the j
employment given her as secretary to [
Dr. Greyson. an old friend of her fam
ily. Doris falls in love with Kirk]
Brentwood, a ne'er-do-well son of a
prominent citizen and, through his '
selfish manipulations, discovers she Is i
accused of theft and that detectives are
following her to make an arrest. Her !
wrath at the revelation of his true self I
becomes so great that she loses what I
is left of her sympathetic qualities and I
womanly instincts, and vows that she i
will make Brentwood suffer as she has ]
suffered; that his downfall and loss of
i every happiness will be the price of his
disloyalty to her. To this end she de
vises a plan to wreck his life, and pre-
I vlous to the last scene in the play, sees
her work accomplished. But here the
story takes on an unique change, and a
I happy ending is the result, after a
'■ series of gripping and intense situa
! Hons. In addition to Miss Dunn the
i cast will include: Earl Browne. Amelia
! Gardner. Gertrude Dallas, Henry Har
: moil, Pauline Duffleld, John Stokes. Ed
| ward J. Hayes, Burk Clark, Daniel J.
, Hamilton and William Hart.

*IOO IN PRIZES
Many Intere»tliic Feature* in Muje«tlc*a i
New Ycnr'a Eve Carnival
Entries are being received at the Ma- '
jestic Theater for the various contests |
to take place on the occasion of the .
vaudeville carnival arranged for New 1
Year's eve. Cash prizes have been of- |
fered for the best dancers, best Charles |
Chaplin, and other stunts appropriate 1
to the carnival spirit. A new feature i
announced to-day by the management
is a special prize for the person who
identifies the Majestlc's "Miss New
Year," who will be represented by a
triri in the audience at the 10:30 show
Friday evening. The Majestic manage
ment does not say whether this girl |
will be in costume or not, she may be i
in the lobby, in the parquet, balcony or |
gallery, but she will be somewhere in
the theater and the first person after
10:30 who identifies her will receive |
the reward.
Placlnp- reserved seats on sale for this
special performance lias been received
with approval by the public, it enables,
the selection of seats any time between '
now and the opening of the carnival at
10:30 on Friday night.
A pretty miss frcm uptown has enter
ed the contest for the most artistic
dancer. She will give a combination I
of toe and Oriental dancing. Numer
ous persons have signified their inten
tions to appear In Charles Chaplin
make-up. Each of these contestants
will be given one minute on the stage
to demonstrate the Charles Chaplin
walk.
The special prizes announced for this
carnival aggregate over SIOO. and are
so classified that many persons in the
audience who enter no contest at all
may be lucky enough to carry home a
handsome reward. In addition to all
the special features at this New Year's
eve show, the regular vaudeville bill
will be given.
In the happiest possible environment,
that of tiie light comedy in which she
excels. Mrs. Flske is seen in a new and
most amusing play by Marion de For
est, founded on Helen R. Martin's novel,
"Barnabetta," and entitled "Erstwhile
Susan," In which she will be seen at
the Orpheum Theater for one perform
ance only on Wednesday evening, Janu
ary 5.
This delightful player, adored at
once by critical students of the stage
as well as by those who go more light
heartedly to the theater, to laugh, is at
her best in the interpretation of deft,
flashing comedy and in the delicate
burlesque of the foibles of her own sex.
It is this characterization that shone |
throughout her memorable "Becky '
Sharp," her "Cyprieline" in "I>l vorcons,' I
and her "Mrs. which j
sne played here last season. With such i
a similar role, fitting her charming j
sense of the ridiculous to a nicety. Miss I
de Forest has supplied her in "Erst- ]
while Susan."
LAURA lloi'E CKBWI l> «THJD
viuirri.vii HOPE," vr THE RE
6KNT
Laura Hope Crews, one of the most J
distinguished Amei .can dramatic stars, I
appears at the Regent to-day and to- j
morrow under the joint maangement of |
Jesse I* Lasky and David Belasco In |
the elaborate plcturizatlon of Mr. Be- 1
I lasco's famous dramatic hit, "The
Fighting Hope," by Wm. J. Hurlbut.
The heroine of this drama is a good
woman whose husband, the treasurer
of a trust company, has been condemn
ed to jail for embezzlement. She be
lieves him to be innocent, but while
striving to fasten the guilt upon an
other man discovers that her husband's
condemnation has really been just. In
spite of this, she still remains faithful
to him. until she discovers that he stole
for the sake of another woman.
In addition to Miss Crews, the cast
will include Cleo Ridgley, Theodore
Roberts, Thomas Meighan. Tom For
man, Gerald Ward and George Geb
hardt.
On Friday a Pathe Gold Rooster play,
"The Beloved Vagabond," which is an
adaptation of the book by the same
name from the pen of William J.
Locke, featuring Edwin Arden.
As Paragot, the beloved vagabond, he
attains to probably the highest standard
of vagrancy representation.
AT THE VICTORIA
"The Xntioii'M Peril**
"The Nation's Peril" was designed
to satisfy an apparently Insatiable de
mand for plays on the subject of war
and preparedness. One of the chief
points that has been made In this pic
ture is that many so-called peace ad
vocates are In reality secret agents of
hostile nations. Thus the dove of
peace-at-any-price is brought into this
picture and discredited. The producer
of "The Nation's Peril" has introduced
some unusual and spectacular photo
graphic effects. The most striking of
these are the scenes which show the
firing of some big guns. These pictures
were taken at night and are colored.
Almost all the battle scenes were taken
after dark and are extraordinary pic
tures. Many of the scenes were taken
in the United States training station at
Newport, and Secretary Daniels and
other prominent officials in the Navy
make their appearance. One of the
1 most exciting incidents is where the
young lieutenant, who has been bound
' and gagged by the enemy, succeeds in
electrocuting a spy who Is sending a
I wireless to his country.
AT THE COLONIAL
: A mirth-provoking farce of a quiet
i home almost broken up by an amorous
I artist Is "A Janitor's Wife's Tempta-
I tlon," the Keystone Sennett comedy
| that is appearing at the Colonial Thea
ter as the comedy side of the current
I program. It will be borne in mind that
"Double Trouble," the best achievement
yet accomplished by Douglas Fairbanks,
is the big feature of the program, and
it can justly be said that no better
I play has been seen at the Colonial.
] To-morrow Prettv Bessie Barrlscale
will be seen in an effective and fetching
role, that of a young society girl who
marries for money and afterward falls
in love with her husband. Its title is
"The Golden Claw."
ORDER FOR BARD PLAYERS

Pittsburgh, who have been visiting Mr.
