The management of the Majestic;

the most interesting and most unusual
nets of the present vaudeville season.
This will be the attraction presented :
by Josofsson and his assistants, who 1
will demonstrate the Icelandic national
pport "Glima," which means wrestling
and which he himself has reconstruct
ed into tho national art of self de- |
fense. The Icelander, who weighs but
360 pounds and is not over five faet I
seven inches tall, served as instructor
to the police of Denmark, and of Mos-1
cow and St. Petersburg.
It is seldom that we of the warmer j

the many reasons why llarrisburgcrs
will want to see the champion of
"Glima." the art of self defense as it i
is practiced up there, and even though
only a few of us have ever heard of :
it, it is said to have been in vogue in
the land of snow and ice since the!
eleventh century. It is also said that!
Josefsson is a fearless physical pheno- '
menon, who has bested with ridiculous j
case a number of famous fighting an 3 j
wrestling men of to-day. This unusual]
attraction will appear as one of the I

I new Triangle-Keystone comedy, will
appear at the Colonial Wednesday and
! Thursday as a special aclde i aitrac
; lion to the regular Fox feature, in
the new comedy, the scenes of which
are laid in and about New York City.
* "Fatty" is said to be at his best and
I funnier than ever.
"Green-EyeU Mounter," With Mantrll
Jealousy serves as the basis of the
William Fox production which heads
I tlie list at the Colonial for Wednesday
! and Thursday. Robert B. Mantell, fore
most of traKic actors, with Genevieve
| Hamper, assume the leadin" roles. The
| scenario for the production was writ
i ten by Nixulo D. Daniels, author of
"Destruction," and deals with a man
wlio covets the wife of his own
brother, removes every obstacle to her
hand and then falls victim to his own
self.
The action opens at the de Mornay
chateau in France. Mantell, as Kai
tnond de Mornay, falls In Jove with
Miss Hamper, as Raimond's cousin
Claire, still In her 'teens and ignorant
of his love for her. Louis, the other
brother, returns, liavin" been dlscharg
! i d from the navy and he and Claire
fall desperately in love and are mar
ried while the llame still burns in Rai
mond's breast. Raimond leaves and
tfoes to Vienna, where he indulges in
riotous living. Ilis father's death re
calls him to his chateau and he apain
falls under Claire's innocent spell. From
then on it is the battle of love versus
honor and a veritable battle it is said
to be.
Dc Willi Hopper In "Don tlnlxote"
Whether you pronounce it "Quick
soat" or "Kee-hotv" makes no differ
ence so far as the real value of the big
De Wolf Hopper production is con
cerned. The.last two days of the week
will see this famous classic put In ac
tion. Don Quixote, as conceived by
Cervantes, is a muddle-headed ideal
ist. who thinks that the world is all
wrong. Much reading on the subject
of knight-errantry, with consequent
loss of sleep and lack of food, has af
fected the old fellow's brain. With his
faithful stable man, Saneho Panza, be
sets out on his excursion, until ho
meets with a sroup of windmills, which
to the Don't eyes are devils, lie jdvos
battle, but is unhorsid and awakes
from his swoon to find Dorothea bend
ing over him. The perfidy of Don Fer
nando, recounted to him, stirs him to
anger and he embarks 011 an errand of
revenge in behalf of Dorothea.
Ford Sterling, in "Ills Pr'de and
Shame," a Keystone comedy, will ap
pear on the same bill with "Don Quix
ote."
