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.

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. Famous
players—Charles Frohman Co., pre
sents Charles Cherry in a picturiza
tlon of the famous play "The Mummy
and the Humming-Bird."
