A Week of Good Things in the Theaters
MUSTN'T MISS
"FASHION GIRLS"
Special Display at the Majestic
For First Half of Next
Week
Local theatergoers who delight in
productions that call in a number of
pretty girls, who look well In extreme
fashion fads, will likely take to "The
Fashion Girls," the widely advertised
headliner that the management of the
Majestic theater will exploit during
the early half of next week.
Catherine Crawford and company,
which includes twelve girls and two
youths, are required to present the at
traction. Some of them sing, most
of them dance, all of them hut two
wear ultra raiment, and these two are
"mere men," who handle the comedy
roles. If we can take the words of
the Majestlc's press agent, ten thou
sand dollars worth of finery is exhi
bited during the action of the piece
Hnd pretty stage settings are used to
heighten their effect. What milady
will wear for every occasion Is said
to bo depicted, including gems, gowns,
furs, lingerie, hats, feathers, sport
clothes and boots.
To add further interest to the bill
for the first half of the week, the
management succeeded in securing
Hawthorne and Inglis, two of tho
most popular "nut" comedians that
every played the Orpheum theater.
The remaining Keith features of this
bill will include Hawthorne and Hol
lister, man and woman, presenting a
comedy called "Looking Fcr Betsy";
Grey and Klumker, young couple in
comedy patter and songs; and the
musical Coattas, who will offer a
musical comedy that features unusual
electrical chimes.
ilugh Herbert, who will be favor
ably recalled as the star of "A Son of.
Solomon," a character comedy drama
that was presented at the Orpheum
twice, and also of "The Sons of Abra
ham" a comedy that was at the Majes
tic earlier this season, returns during
the last half of next week to present
his latest playlet, "Prosperity." Mr.
Herbert plays a role in this newest
act that is a departure from his form
er ones, but this sketch is like the
others only insofar as he himself is
the author also. Mr. Herbert will
have the assistance of a capable com
pany.
Some of the Keith features that will
appear on the same bill with Mr. Her
bert and company include Cunning
ham and Marion, also of Orpheum
popularity, who will present a very
funny turn called "Talk and Action";
('arew and Burns, young couple offer
ing a comedy skit with singing; and
Tyson and Barbour, man and woman
who present a spirited song and dance
specialty.
SENSATIONAL IS
VICTORIA BILL
Emotional Nature of the
Week's Pictures Is Predomi
nating Characteristic
The management of the Victoria
Theater has prepared a series of
photodramatic productions for the
coming week that hold in store a
bunch of thrills for the lovers of the
emotional and sensational on the mo
tion picture screen. Starting with
Francis X. Bushman in "Man and His
Soul," and finishing up with Harry
Watson, and two special features on
Saturday, with "The Unpardonable
Sin," "The Strange Case of Mary
l'age," "Supreme Temptation," "The
Iron Claw," and others sandwiched in
between, not much can be offered by
way of complaint.
Bushman and Bayne
Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne
are so well known that it is scarcely
necessary to speak of them. Their
very presence vouches for them, but
it might be well to add that their ve
hicle on this first day of the week is
a five-act "wonderplay" called "Man
and His Soul," the allegorical nature
of which gives these two splendidly
dramatic players an opportunity to
display that skill. John Conscience is
born and it is foreordained that he is
to be a creature of conscience. Stephen
Alight and John Power appear, and
with a *ein of romance running
through It all, the picture comes to
a powerful climax.
Itolbrook Blinn is the attraction on
Tuesday in the dramatic story of a
wealthy man's fall through "The Un
pardonable Sin." It Is said to be
startlingly realistic and is just the sort
of story to which Holbrook Blinn, who
has by some been termed "the most
versatile actor of the day," is best
suited.
Wednesday "The Victory of Virtue"
featuring Gerda Holmes and Wilmuth
Merkyl, and Henry Walthall and Kdna
Mayo in "The Strange Case of Mary
Cage" share the boards together. It
is hand to say which will prove the
more popular, although the piyst favor
which has been accorded the succes
sive episode of the Mary Page fea
ture means that Its side-partner on
next Wednesday will have to hump
itself to gain the supremacy.
Latter Ualf of Week
And still they come! "Supreme
Temptation" and "The Slave of Cor
ruption," the latter featuring Jackie
Saunders, will entertain Victoria pat
rons on Thursday. The former is a
Vltagraph picture nnd includes In Its
cast Antonio Moreno and Dorothy
Kelly. Friday Pearl White will ap
pear in the sensational success "The
Iron Claw," the very title of which
is sufficient to send tho anticipatory
shivers down one's spinal column. And
last, but not least, the triple attraction
on Saturday will be a five-part society
drama with love, hate, and all the oth
er virtues and vices called "Passers
by"; Harry Watson in a mirth-pro
ducing comedy; and "The Human
Cauldron," a Vltagraph feature sup
ported by a strong cast.
Mae Murray, one of the stars of the
Lask.v Company, attempted to steer her
automobile out of her garage ill Hol
lywood. Cal., the other day, and suc
ceeded in smashing a fender, a few
lamps and the runningboard. James
Young, whx> Is directing Miss Murray's
second Lasky photoplay, "Sweet Kitty
Bellalrs," has requested that she take
her outings hereafter In a wheelbarrow
until the photoplay is finished.

forces.
They signalize their triumph by
burning down the church. But the
evil doers had not reckoned with
Blaze Tracy (Wm. S. Hart). He kills
Silk Miller, the crafty and treacherous |

There seems danger that the whole j

are scenes of disorder and excitement j
as the flames of destruction sweep |
over the whole town.

after receiving: the message, thereby
giving "Fatty" a world record over

clusive showing In Harrisburg.
If a mother has deserted her baby
daughter and her husband to share the
fortunes of a profligate count, does
she make atonement for her heed by
1 paying the death penalty for a crime
committed by the daughter? This Is
j the proposition set forth in "The Spid
j er" which presents Miss Frederick In
I two absolutely different roles, one a
j notorious beauty, and the other her
| daughter whom the woman deserted
when she was a little baby,
j On Wednesday and Thursday, "Pud
(d'nliead Wilson," one of Mark Twain's
: stories, will be presented in photo
dramatic form, with Theodore Roberts

j with Lawyer Wilson, a young man,
'who came to a small Missouri town to
practice. On his first day iu the little I
village he made the famous remark
that If he owned one-half of a dog
he would kill his half. The natives
could not grasp the humor of this and
decided that the young lawyer was
"not right," and this, coupled with his
eccentricities of speech ami his hobby
I for securing thumb prints from every
