"Poor Little Peppina," which was written tor the «tar by Ivato Jordan, will be distribut ed by the Paramount Program, but, be -ause of its unusual iength and merli, it will be especially presented in New York and some of the other large cities . in advance of the regular release date. The story Is as comprehensive in the matter of backgrounds as it is in actual length, for the action takes place in Italy and America. "Poor Little Peppina" will mark Mary Piokford's tlrst appearance on the -creen since becoming a partner in the newly formed Famous Players-Mary Pickford Company in the productions ■it which she retains a half interest. "Pollyanna" at the Broad Street Theater. Philadelphia, has dally been it tended by a capacity audience. This olay of love and optimism is delight fully acted by Patricia Collinge, Effie .-Shannon, Herbert Keicey, Philip Meri vale and Maud Granger. It is said of this famous character thai there is so much of real sympathy and true feeling depicted that at every performance there can be seen any number of ladies' handkerchiefs hung out on the backs of the seats to dry.

In this city, how ever. so much personal effort has been spent by the house managers that the lilm will be able to show a Monday matinee. I.OCAL THEATERS Travel With llotve Lyman H. I-lowe's Travel Festival, which conies with an entive new pro gram at the Orpheum to-morrow and Saturday, with daily matinees, is in jmltalil.- not only because of the scenes themselves, but also because of the way they are presented. Mr. Howe links the sense of sound with the sense of sight so precisely and yet so na turally that the effect is hypnotic in Its compelling power. He knows how to imbue the mere lights and shadows of electric rays with a vitality that is nkit> to life itself. Hidden corners of the earth, life and customs in strange climes, and the scenic spots of earth are all produced in picture form that is perfection. It teaches without dry ness and imparts a certain knowledge which no books or lecturer could. Coming The New York Winter Garden spec tacle, "Maid In America," which the Winter Garden management declares is the largest and most expensive the atrical amusement o:i tour the present season, is coming to the Orpheum in the near future. Fun is the main idea HARRY LAUDER W\ A GENIAL MOOD tMeascs 11 Huge House With His Inimitable Walk .Songs and Smile In spite of the fact that Harry ' l,auder's "Nanny," who, he declared in one of his songs, was the only girl he ever loved, told him "he'd the ugliest lace in the toun," we must needs differ with the young lady, because no man ■who so bubbles over with excellent good humor and who so effervesces with the joy of living as does this same Harry, could possibly have a face that the most disagreeable critic could call ugly. Harry rolled in yesterday morning on his private car, was feted and dined bv his fellow Rotarians, toured the city found It entirely to his liking, and met a huge audience when he stepped onto the Orpheum stage last evening. His program was carried out in his inimi tably spontaneous way. and although there were many of his hearers who sort of yearned for more of the old familiar songs, such as "She's the Lass For Me" and "It's Nice to Get Cp in the Mornin . they couldn't very well have been better pleased with what he did give them. The "wee bonnie Scotchman" was in fine form, and had grouped about him a number of entertainers who were merely tillers-in. and that is said with out in the least detracting from the merits of their respective perform ances. The A 1 Golem company of train ed acrobats were unusually good, par- ' ticularly in their hair-raising esca pades at the summit of the stage; Al bert Donnelly. In shadowgraphs, dis played some very dexterous tinger-and hand manipulation, and received an ova tion that would have done credit to the highest class of vaudeville entertainer- JJave Genaro. as "Svengali," and Isabelle Jason, as "Trilby." did a dance which certainly would have made the poor, old musicmaster rattle in his throat with pain—yet, be it said, it was grace fully executed and a very good make up imitation; "Cocky" and "Lucille" were two singing birds that talked themselves hoarse to the amusement of the sympathetic audience. But to get back to Harry himself. He had his Inseparable pipe with him and a goodly store of matches, manv of which he used; his plaid and his sturdy limbs, his tam and his Irish brogue (yes. he did. just once), his versatility in the matter of songs, his vast fund of optimism, all these, and more so endeared him to his hearers last evening- that it was with great re luctance that he was allowed to re tire.
