while the balance at the end of No

shrinkage, which brings the total of

charities and other objects. About a

prospects for early payments are notj
very bright.

ith best wishes for the New Year
to each and every one of Its patrons, tho
Orpheum management announces its re
newed resolution to please tile theater
going public and as an evidence of this
good faith a list of attractions for the
nrst part of the new year has been
booked that will cause an anticipatory
licking of the chops, figuratively speak
ing.
During: January Mrs. Fiske, in "Erst
while Susan." will go hund-in-hand with
Al. lueld's Minstrels, the only minstrel
show of tile season, visiting Harrisburg
for two days; and there will also be a
presentation of "The Lilac Domino," an
operetta direct from the Garrlck Thea
,r.\ Chicago. The following month
will be sprinkled with "Nobody Home,"
coming from the Exposition, where it
has been showing all season; "Princess
£at," Harry Lauder, Lyman K. Howe's
Travel Festival, "The Birth of a Na
f'on," "Potash and Pcrlmutter," and
Lncle Tom's Cabin." In March-Forbes-
Hohertson in his farewell tour, will star
In "On Trial."
For music lovers, the theater has
booked a number of concert and recital
attraction, Including Fritz Kreisler,
Lina Cavalierl, Emmy Dcstinn, the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra, and Ger
aldlne Farrar herself. The various ap
pearances of these world-famous oper
atic star.? will spread over the first four
months of the year, something to think
about and look forward to.
OHPHEIM
To-night—"Her Price," with Emma
Dunn.
Wednesday, evening only, January 5
fllrs. Fiske in "Erstwhile Susan."
Thursday, matinee and night, January
6—"The Charming Widows." (Bur
lesque).
No player Is more sure of a warm wel
come here, and deservedly so than Mrs.
Fiske, the distinguished American
actress, and her coming engagement at
the Orplieum Theater for one perform
ance only, on Wednesday evening,
January 5, should draw a big house.
Mrs. Fiske comes now in a new, modern
comedy by Marian de Forest, entitled
"Erstwhile Susan," the play serving as
a vehicle to mark the return of the
actress to a field in which she excels,
that of deft, brilliant comedy such as
shone throughout her performances in
"Becky Sharp," "Dtvorcons" and "Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh." Miss do Forest has
founded her comedy on Helen R. Mar
tin's novel, "Barnabetta," and has suc
ceeded admirably in transferring from
the book to the theater an environment,
at once novel and amusing, and now
placed upon the stage for the first time,
that of modern life among the "Penn
sylvania-Dutch" in their settlements
throughout Pennsylvania.
HKR PIMCEI A HE VIEW
' Only a fair-sized audience witnessed
the opening performance of "Her
Price" in the two-day engaement at the
Orpheum Theater last evenlntr. "Her
Price" is from the pen of Lottie M.
Menney, who attempts no sermon—the
play appears to have been written sole
ly to amuse, and if such be the case,
Its mission Is extremely well carried
out.
Emma Dunn, the tame who starred
in the title role of "Mother." takes the
lead as "Doris Fenton," the daughter
of a physician who, because of his ex
haustive investigations into a cure for
leprosy, leaves his family practically
penniless. "Doris," being left entirely
upon her own resources, enters the ser
vices of ail old friend of the family,
"Dr. Greyson." Into her life comes
"Kirk Brentwood" (Earle Browne), the
black sheep of a wealthy and highly
respected family, whose father has dis
inherited him. "Doris," however, is not
the only one who falls under his spell,
but is the one who is made to suffer
most, and through Ills selfishness is sent
lo prison for a number of vears. She
serves her time, still trusting in
"Brentwood," and returns to find him
married to another woman. To get rid
of her and to remove suspicion from
himself for a another and more serious
crime, he has "Doris" sent to prison
again on trumped-up charges. She es
capes and returns to make him suffer
for his unworthiness. The play Is of
intense interest, but climaxes with a
surprising- and unusually pleasing fin
ish for a drama of this sort.
The company is one of the most per
fectly balanced seen in Harrisburg for
many weeks. To mention one and not all
would be an Injustice. The oast with
out exception, fills each individual role
perfectly.
HtPPV NEW YEAR!
The Majesties New Year bill seems
to have struck a popular note with local
J,!^ ate i'?°^ rs - Tfle manikin act called
The M.niature Review," while being
the most pretentious number of the bill
iB not the whole show, for there are
five Keltli acts that almost run the
gamut of light entertainment.
William Weston and company, who
several years ago headed the Orpheum
a . surprise musical playlet
called lhe Musical Attorneys,' 'are this
season presenting a new sketch called
In the Pharmacy," which they are
booked to offer during the last half of
next week. Three women and five men
comprise the company, and while all of
them are expert, musicians ,a couple of
them are equally as successful at
comedy.
FRANK DANIEI.S—'VICTORIA
Thefact that Frank Daniels is a film
comedian of the funniest variety was
well established in "Crooky," his first
Vitagraph play, and is proved again in
"What Happened to Father." Mi- l"an
lels style of funmaking Is indescrib
ible; his remarkable facial expressions
and his funny pantomime are particu
larly suited to screen work, and. like
all good comedians, he makes the most
of the opportunities presented to him
If you have ever seen him on the stage'
you liked him immensely; and he is
even better on the screen.
, f . a " ~ 0 ?ee Francis X. Bushman
in "Pennington's Choice," if you desire
to find out for yourself whether the
rumor is true that he fell from his horse
recently and had his nose transformed
from the Grecian to the Roman style'.
REGENT THEATER
You are advised by the management
to start the new year by seeing "The
Forbidden Adventure," featuring Louise
Glaum. "The Forbidden Adventure" Is
a weird drama, the scenes of which are
laid near the famous Arabian "Citv of
the Dead." Of serpentine charm 'and
rare Oriental beauty. Miss Glaum 1s
particularly adapted to the role of the
priestess whose lure of a young English
adventurer follows to the brink of
death. The escape of the lovers bv the
narrow cable bridge across the chasm
Is a thrilling moment.
Charles Ray, as "Cecil Weatherby"
a wanderer of the earth's hidden path
ways," portrays the "dauntless" young
Anglo-Saxon, who loses his heart to the
dusky-browed girl of Arabv.
"Cecil Weatherby," traveling In the
Orient with a small caravan, meets and
falls in love with "Ameera," a beautiful
Arabian Princess. He Is ordered to
leave the country, but disobeys, and a
council of high priests sentences the
lovers to be imprisoned In "The City of
the Dead," a cavernous pit In the moun
tains.
Monday and Tuesday Daniel Frohman
presents the dainty, diminutive screen
star. Marguerite Clark. In an original
drama of circus life, "Still Waters." by
Edith Barnard Delano on the Para
mount program.
AT THE COI.ONIAI,
Of course, you are supposed to know
that Bessie Barrlscale, of the legiti
mate stage, is making her screen debut
in "The Golden Claw." The comedy
side of the program Is taken care of by
Webor and Fields in "The Best of Ene
mies." To-day will be the last of the
showing of this combination.
For the first half of the week the
maangement Is announcing Lillian
Gish, the star of 'The Birth of a Na
tion." together with Boszlka Dolly the
thousand-dollar-a-week vaudeville
dancer. Their vehicle Is entitled "The
Lily and the Rose." "The Great Vacu
um Robbery," with Charles Murray, will
also be shown.
An early showing of Dorothy Gish
and Frank Campenu, in "Jordo'n Is a
Hard Road." is also announced, while
a comedy gem that is coming soon Is
entitled "Fatty and the Broadway
Stars," starring Weber and Fields. Ros

REPUBLICANS
PLAN FOR FRAY
Clubs Completing Their Cam
paign Outlines; to Boost
For Victory
Ilarrisburg's Republican clubs are
all completing their plans for 19XG
activities.
Each organization has mapped out
a special program which include mem
bership campaigns, a series of enter
tainments and general boosting and
"getting together" meetings.
The Harrisburg Republican Club, it
is understood, will purchase new uni
forms this year. Whether or not the
frock coats and silk hats will be re
placed as the regular dress uniform
or whether something different will be
adopted has not been decided. The
club expects to do considerable march
ing prior to and during the Fall cam
paign and the committees are getting
busy. The club is growing rapidly;
at the last meeting the secretary re
ported that 1,088 members are in good
standing and that there are several
hundred others who still retain their
membership. Incidentally big groups
are proposed for membership each
meeting night.
What is true of the Harrisburg Re
publican Club, is equally true of the
West and the Kast Knd Republican
Clubs. The inauguration of the
newly-elected officers and the ap
pointment of the standing committees
indicate an active year. Dutch lunch
eons, an occasional pig roast, smokers,
etc., are on the entertainment pro
grams. The colored Republican clubs
of the city, too, are active. The Har
risburg Republican Club yesterday
opened its entertainment program
with a largely attended dance at
Chestnut stree't hall.
WOMAN FRACTURES HIP
Mechanlcsburg, Pa., Jan. 1. —Miss
Jane Cross, who resides with her sis
ter, Mrs. William Forward, 9 East
