Thursday matinee and night, January 13—"The Auto Girls." (Burlesque.) PATRIOTIC TABLEAUX With much of the civilized world shaken by war, no subject is being j more thought about and talked out I that the "spirit of nationalism," and Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels are be j ing given enthusiastic demonstrations i everywhere for the series of patriotic j tableaux they present during the per ! formance this season. I Tho first tableaux shown is that I picturing "Washington Crossing the I Delaware." This is followed by a liv ing reproduction of the famous paint ing. "The Spirit of '76." Another por trays veterans of the Civil War, and some children of to-day, and is en titled "Peace." The concluding one is designated "Our Army and Navy," and emphasizes that if "tight we must," it is the army and navy that stands between our homes and the enemy. The Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels are coming to the Orpheum next Tues day and Wednesday. MAJESTIC To-day witnesses the grand linale of one of the best vaudeville bills ! patrons of the Majestic have seen, says | the management. This is true not only because William Weston and company are offering tho most preten tious novelty of the season, but be cause this feature in turn is backed j up by dainty Dorothy Meuther, as a singing comedienne, and because Jim mie Lucas and his pretty partner. Miss Lucille, are serving up a rattling | comedy turn sprinkled with songs j called "Nutology." Other interesting acts include Fern, Blgelow and Mee han, the rapid-tire tumbling come dians, anil Horn and Faris, offering a neat singing hit called "A Venetian Flirtation." Advance press notices that pro ceed "The Hell Ringers." which will j be the headliner in the Majestic show j the first half of next week, say that this new act rings of all the excellence j that Harrisburg associates with the j Dunbar acts. AT THE VICTORIA "Thou Art the Man," a story of ( Anglo-Indian life of the present day, j is by George Cameron, author of "A j Million Bid," and is an original i manuscript, written especially for motion picture production, founded on the Biblical story of "Uriah." The scenes are all laid in India, and de pict the life of the resident English man, with plimpses of the fever ridden districts where the white man finds it Impossible to exist. The story tells of a rich man who covets a poor clerk's beautiful wife. She is ordered to the hills during the hot summer, and her husband, that he may be able to send her away, accepts a position in the Interior of India, that carries a handsome salary offered by the rich man. The re mainder we will save as a surprise for you. "Tillte's Punctured Ito« mance," a five part comedy featuring Charley Chaplin and Marie Dressier will be shown Monday. XAZIMOVA'S "WAR BRIDES" COMING Sara Biala and a supporting com pany of seven players will present Madame Nazimova's celebrated play let "War Brides" at the Majestic Theater during the latter part of January. With this vehicle Nazimova made her first appearance In vaude ville. commanding $3,500 weekly sal ary, and the act was a sensation in all of the biggest theaters in the country. Miss Biula, who plays the role of Joan in the company booked for the Majefctlc, is an actress of great capabilities. "Although ugly, improper and ob jectionable plays may create a stir when first produced and by some even be praised," says Forbes-Robertson, "they cannot have a lasting life. Their success is sensational and accidental and in due course of time they will die out of notice and disappear. True lovers of the drama need feel no anxiety." Forbes-Hobertson will soon appear at the Orpheum. ENGLISH WIT VS. IRISH HUMOR | Seumas MacManus, the Irish writer I nnd lecturer, who is to lecture here In Technical Hi«h Auditorium on January 11, gives his opinion that the [ wit of an Englishman will not be liable to blind you when It scintillates. He says that when he was one day riding on an Inside tourist car, in County Gerry, he got into a dispute on Irish wit with a rather thick headed Englishman vho sat beside! him. So absorbed were they in their j argument that when they reached ai rather steep hill on the road, and the j jarvey, or car driver—who, by the way, is the greatest wit in Ireland —| had jumped off to lighten the horses' j load up the hill, he. MacManus, for-1 got his duty to the dumb anlmnls,' kept his seat and went on with his i argument. The jarvey, walking be-1 hint! the car, opened the door of It several times and slammed it again with a loud slam, which at length so annoyed the Englishman, that he irritably asked why he was doing that. "Because, sir," said the sly jarvey, "every time the horses hear that door slam they think that another man has got out, and it gives the creatures en couragement on the hill." The Eng- j lishman, at hearing this, slapped his i knee, and let out of him a great guf faw. To Seumas MacManus, who had j taken the hint and jumped out, the i Englishman, settling himself back j for a more comfortable seat, said | triumphantly: "And this is some of l your boasted Irish # brightness—Eh ? Ho, ha, ha! Did you ever know any thing more stupid?" "Well, I must confess," replied Seumas MacManus, "that Ireland carries its shure of stupidity—ln the tourist season." At | this remark again the Englishman i slapped his knee and roared right heartily. THE DRV NAVY IS MAKING GOOD I have had the privilege of traveling as a guest on several of our American men-of-war since the new orders for bidding the use of intoxicating liquors among men and officers. The change for the better permeates every depart ment of conduct and service. Both of ficers and men are younger by many years and no one can question their ability to handle these valuable aggre gations of delicate machinery. Steady hands, clear brains, clean bodies are the rule and not the exception In all departments. Neither the officers nor j the men would go back to the old con- j dit ions, when rations of grog and ward room drinking were the rule—Corre-I spondence of The Christian Hebaxu. jf? Pr - '■ I." ■ ! ' • ' <*> 1 J V - \ W- 4 -. / ,<*<? January 6 witnessed the screen' debut of Constance Collier, a well- i ! known English actress whose family, [ lias been associated with the stage for a matter of many years. Miss Collier was first witnessed in "The. Tongues of Men," a Morosco produc tion released on the Paramount pro gram. "ALOHA OE" To-day witnesses the passing of the Colonial's current Triangle program which Is made up of a delightful ro- I mance of the South Sea Isles called "Aloha Oe," meaning "Fare Thee Well," featuring Willard Mack, woll known actor of the legitimate stage. The comedy feature, which is almost equally important is called "The Vil lage Scandal" with Roscoe Arbuckle and Raymond Hitchcock, i For the first half of the week the ] Colonial management is announcing ! a program of Triangle features. The (drama, a Griffith picture, "Jordan Is ! a Hard Road" tells an interesting ! story with much skill. Frank Cara- I peau plays the part of a bandit who [ reforms without losing a whit of his I charm, and Dorothy Glsh Is attrac | tive as a young miss without need of ; repentance. In his criticism of this j feature when it appeared at the . Knickerbocker Theater in New York, ' the writer of the New York Tribune said, among other things "Jordan may bo a hard road, but not for the spectator." "Fatty And The Broad way Stars" is the comedy of this program. "THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY" AT THE REGENT Internationally famous as a come dienne, Fannie Ward will make her debut as a photodramatic star in the Jesse L. Laslcy Company's produc tion, "The Marriage of Kitty," by Francis de Croisset and Fred de Gresac. at the Regent to-day, in a special Paramount, show. Kitty in the play is a young woman who suddenly is thrown on her own resources for a livelihood. Through a lawyer friend she quite willing agrees to marry Lord Reginald Relslze, a young English peer, whom she has never met. The necessity of Lord Reginald's marriage was brought about through a provision in the will of his wealthy American uncle that unless he married within a year from the date of the uncle's death he would lose the fortune. Furthermore, he must not marry an actress. It happened that he was, in fact, infatuated with Mme. Helen, an actress, so the marriage to Kitty is a legal subterfuge, it being agreed that within six months the couple would be divorced and Kitty would receive a handsome sum for her trouble. The play concludes with a surprising series of situations in which the resourceful Kitty finds her way to ultimate happiness. Monday and Tuesday.

The north wall extending due east from the river was 7,000 feet j long; the eastern wall was three I miles long; the southern wall only 1,- I 000 feet, while the western or river j front extended for two and one-half i miles along the Tigris.
