Harry I.amler
Harry the famous Scotch
comedian, who conies to the Orpheum
Wednesday evening, February W, has
tried his hand at editorial work. Sev
eral years ago, between his tours of
Hie United States, he was appointed |
" joke editor" of tlie People'-s Journal
of lJfe in Scotland, and he took an ac
tive interest In ills work. Besides fur- ;
nishing material of his own, he estab
lished a "joke contest" for his journal I
and offered a prize for the best humor
ous anecdote sent in.
He loves animals, particularly the
"pit-ponies," or little Shetlands that
are used in the lower workings of the
coal mines in Scotland. He has even
appeared before Parliament in behalf
of the welfare of his equine friends.
"They are bonnie wee animals, quiet 1
and docile, and their work was to drag
the tubs, or 'hutches,' we called them,
full of coal up to the maitr haulage,
h'rom there the loads were taken up by
big horses.
"When a pony goes down a pit he
goes for life. He does not see daylight
again unless there is a strike. Still, I
have seen a pony, after I had washed I
and combed him in the morning, go
frisking along just as if he were in the
open air."

leased by Bosworth on the Paramount
Program at the Regent to-day only.
When Demetra, in "The Rug Maker's

presents the other to Osman, whom her

Turkish girl is conforming to a be
trothal custom which lias prevailed in
tlie Far East for centuries. This de- 1
tail is but one of many illuminating, j
authentic bits which contribute to the
artistic success of this fascinating film
story of the American-Turkish trade, i
The feature that will stand out most
i conspicuously on the first two days of
i next week will be the Paramount pro

Jesse L. Dusky presents Dou-Tellegen. ■
This is a thrilling drama, suggestive of |
war times, built about the story of how |
a Victoria Cross, worn by a son in mem- !
ory of his father who disappeared,
saves tlie youth from death and gives j
to him the girl he loves.
The cast supporting Mr. Tellegen is
one of unusual excellence, and Is com- !
posed of such prominent artists as:
