| AMUSEMENTS . < ; 3 FAWN CONWAY. AS PASSION. IS ON STAGE ONLY THREE MINUTES. BUT DOMINATES THE PLAY The shortest "bis" part ever written is that of Passion in George V. Hobart's morality drama. "Experience," which conie3 to the Orpheum all next week. Miss Conway, who plays the role, certainly has a "short" cut to fame and fortune, for she is on the stage only three minutes during the entire evening, and yet completely dominates the play. Passion is without exception one of the most impressive and pictur esque roles ever conceived by an author. She makes her entrance bathed in crimson light and a few diaphanous draperies of purple and scarlet. There is soft music of a weird Oriental nature. Her advent creates a sensation, for they turn off all the lights and give her the center of the stage with a scarlet halo of light around her. Before Passion enters, the audience is prepared for her appearance. That is one of the most effective tricks known to the playwright—to make the audience anticipate something that is going to happen. Intoxication, played by a beautiful girl, comes on first, to greet Youth, as he drinks the wine glass to the dregs. Then—carrying out the symbolism of Mr. Hobart's play—enters Passion. Her lines are brief, vivid, and to the point. "Who is she?" asks Youth, staring, open-eyed. "She is Passion, High Priestess of His Satanic Majesty, the Queen Re gent of Hell," responds Experience. "What do you want here?" "I want Iriro." cries Passion, in ringing tones, pointing to Youth. "With all my burning soul, I want you. Come. Youth—l will smother you with my kisses." But Youth breaks away from Passion, and with a mocking laugh, she scorns him. "Bah." she cries, as he drops Into the arms of Intoxication. "Let him ifn to his drunken sleep, and may all the curses my burning body can sug gest follow him down the dark corridors of his dreams. Bah —he's not worth while." "He is worth while." Interrupts Experience, "because he has had the courage to resist the Queen Regent of Hell. Of two evils, he has chosen —the lesser." Miss Conway, who flays Passion, was chosen primarily because of her dark, Oriental type of beauty. She was formerly one of the best-known show girls in the Ziegfeld Follies. This is her first dramatic role, and she has scored such a tremendous hit in her short but vivid role, that hence forth she Is sure to be reckoned with by all managers who desire a fasci nating siren of the vampire type.

A very pretentious musical comedy offering, with ten people, entitled "Peacock Alley." will be The the big feature at the Ma- Majestle'n .iestic Theater the last New Bill three days of the week. This is one of those elaborate affairs that carry a bevy of good-looking girls beautifully cos tumed and attractive stage settings. Good comedy, singing and dancing, all these elements can be found in tills act. Andy Rice, popular Hebrew com edian, is also on the bill, and his line of nonsense is claimed to put "pep" in to any vaudeville show. Other Keith acts on the bill are: Johnny Stone, sensational barrel jumper; Denny and Browning, clever couple in a piano, singing and comedy ottering, and the Ketaro Japs, novelty gymnasts. This brilliant Paramount star, who is too well known to photo-dramatic audiences to have Kathlyn Williams her successes at tlie Heicent enumerated iu this brief space, will be the attraction at the Regent to-day and to-morrow, in a most un usual and interesting story called "Out of the Wreck." The story is based on a famous trial, which was told the author by a prominent at torney. It might well be titled "The Memories of the Forget-Me-Nots." as the influence of this tender (lower guides the destiny of the girl in the picture. While you arc watching the picture, you see nothing but a strong story of human emotions, and it is taken from a true storv which actu ally happened in San Francisco. Sat urday, Fannie Ward will be seen in "The Winning of Sally Temple." based upon Rupert Sargent Holland's cele brated novel. The story of "Apartment 29," the new Vitagraph feature, with Earle Williams In the Earle William* nt leading role, the Colonial Theater which is show , , „ ing at the Co lonial Theater for the last times to day, tends to prove that no man can tell beforehand what he or any other man will do under given circum stances. The framed-up adventures of a dramatic critic who believed that no rational human being would pos sibly act in real life as did the hero of a new play, form the greatest por tion of the action of "Apartment 29." Earle Williams, as the dramatic' critic, is framed up by the author of the play In much the same manner as was the hero of the play. The critic is caught up in a whirlpool of hap penings that cause him to act just as he said no rational man would, and in addition to disproving his own as sertions. the critic gets a bump on the head that wasn't in the plot, and j also becomes engaged to one of the ! plotters.

One of the most interesting; of the concerts to be given here this season will be the closing one of Relmera- the series under Mr. ! Albright- Hand's management in the ; ltullann auditorium of the Tech ; Recital nical High School. The unique feature of the con- I cert will be a recital of specific "two piano" compositions presented for the tlrst time in the manner made HO ar tistically interesting and popular by , Bauer and Babrilowitsch, and the | Sutro Sisters for the past two seasons, j Miss Constance Rulison, who is to I collaborate with the local pianist, ; Newell Albright, is the daughter of | the late Bishop Rulison, of Bethlehem, i and but recently returned from Paris after some years" residence there, where she has seen interesting ser vice as a Red Cross nurse. It will be, as well, Newell Albright's first public appearance professionally since his re turn from study with Tobias Matthaj; in London. Mr. Matthay, in a recent letter, describes him as one of the most j interesting, musically gifted person alities of nis experience, and. as, cer tain to impress his individuality on the musical world. The St. Saens' variations on a theme taken from the Sonata op. 31 No. 4 by | Beethoven, is to open the program, i Their second number, the lovely little I Sonata in C, by Mozart, to which Grieg has added a second piano part. Then the Petite Suite, by Debussy, I consisting of a Barcarole. Procession and Minuet, and the Romance Waltz and Polonaise, which constitute the [Suite, by Arensky. so popular with j "two-piano" recitals, is to close the 1 program. Paul Reimers needs no introduction. [His position both here and in Europe is unquestioned as one of the Very ! greatest singers of the song in the world. Nowhere has he had a greater reputation than in London, where he was chosen to sing the lovely Beet h<rven Song Cycle in the last Beet hoven Festival. Mr. Hand could not possibly have given a more interesting close to his interesting series of con certs this season. TO CUT PASSENGER SERVICE By Associated Press Chicago.

MILLION-DOLLAR STREET PARADE WILL FITTINGLY Itanium & Bailey's Street Pageant Is Tlvrce Miles lit Length One million dollars' worth of wagons, animals, costumes and in struments will be seen In the streets in one long procession when the Bar ntim & Bailey circus comes to town May 2ist. That is the amount of money the management of the circus has ex pended this year on their wonder ful new parade, which is declared to be entirely different from any cir cus processions of previous years. Some idea of the magnitude of this wonderful cavalcade may be had from the fact that it stretches out exactly three miles in length and includes more than 100 animal cages, floats, tableau wagons and allegorical cars, all of the newest and most elaborate design, and en tirely different from anything used heretofore. More than 1,300 per sons take part in the procession, as well as 700 horses, 41 elephants, and all of the menagerie anin.als dis played in open dens. The floats and tableau wagons are filled with pretty dancing girls In gay costumes, representing different nationalities of the world and the parade stretches out like a great, gorgeous panorama of the universe. Continuous melody is supplied by six bands and three calliopes, and the spectators are kept in good humor by an army of the funniest clowns in the world. The parade will leave the circus grounds promptly at 10 o'clock, if possible, and will pass through the principal residential and business sections of the city. A definite line of march will be determined by a representative of the cjreus and the police department on the day be fore the date of exhibition.

It is a sufe prediction that virtually the entire population, big and little, will be on baud to wit ness the wonderful, free spectacle. The Barnuni & ltailey circus this year calls itself a "circus of all na tions," on account of the host of foreign performers who are appear ing: on its program for the'flrst time. More than twenty different nation alities are represented with the cir cus this season, and each nationality is alloted a special section in the street parade. The Arabs and the Chinese represent the Orient and this section of the parade is especi ally lavish in its costuming and gor geous appearance. Russia is repre sented by a troupe of Cossacks; France and England by scores of performers of all kinds, and there is a wild west section which includes most of the champion roughrlders, cowboys, lasso experts and broncho busters from the great ranches and rodeos of the west.
