HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
ORPHEL'M— To-ni*ht only "Her
Unborn Child."
All next week, with daily matinees —
Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea."
COLONIAL.—"Sowers and Reapers."
REGENT—"Brother Officers."
"Her Unborn Child," which has been
attracting crowds to the Orpheum all
this week, will close its lo
"H(r cal engagement to-night.
I'nborn Anyone over 18 will be ad-
I'talld" mitted to the evening per
formance. 1 The basis of this
drama, which has caused a wonderful
amount of discussion, is birth control,
a question which is written about
every day. In the story the author
has handled a delicate subject in a
way that does not offend any thinking
person and also teaches a big lesson.
Mrs. Allen will address the
women at the performance this even
ing on the subject of "Motherhood."
"A musical show full of life, and
with a bevy of pretty girls," Is a good
description of
"The Suffragette "The SufTragette
Hevue," at Majeatlc Revue," now
playing the Ma
jestic Theater. The tabloid is one of
those elaborate affairs, and every ef
fort was made to secure the best
talent possible to give this perform
ance. Miss Flo Bert heads the cast
of principals, while Bobby Bernard,
formerly of the "Follies," is the come
dian in the show and runs Miss Bert
a close second for popular favor.
Taken all in all, "The Suffragette Re
vue" is one of those delightful attrac- |
tions that makes you forget your i
troubles. The bill for the first half |
of next week is headed by one of the
most novel and pretentious musical
comedies in vaudeville. "Married Via
Wireless." Surrounding this attrac
tion are: Harry and Etta Conley, pre
senting a breezy comedy skit; Steve
Freda, formerly of Bell and Freda. I
one of the best guitar players in the
show business; Laidiow, elderly man, I
in an excellent roller skating act, and !
one other comedy turn.
To-day's offering at the Regent will
be a double attraction. The funny I
Roscoe ("Fatty") Ar-
Double buckle will be seen In a. i
Attraction two-reel screamer, "A I
ul the Reckless Romeo." This is I
Regent "Fatty's" latest and
'l'o-day greatest effort, and in the
role of the dutiful, but
I erring husband, he is seen at his best.
There will also be a return showing
of "Brother Officers." This Is a story
of British army and society life.
While the main theme of the picture
is essentially dramatic, there are
many excellent bits of comedy. "A
Day With the West Point Cadets," one
of the Burton Holmes series, is also
| on the same program with these two
features. See our future army officers
' in the making; at work and at play
I at the Gibraltar of the Hudson.
I There will be a daily change of pro-
I gram all next week. Monday's offer*-
ing will be "The School For Hus
bands," a clever comedy, featuring
l dainty Fanny Ward.
As the tifne has now arrived when
the busy worker likes to take his
hour of recreation in the
I'axtang open air, the vaudeville
Vaudeville show at the Paxtang
Park Theater seems to
be the "one best bet."
The bill at the park theater this
I week is a live-wire entertainment
from start to finish. There is not a
dull moment during the entire pro
gram.
Walker and 111, in their laughable
comedy sketch called "All Wrong,"
have paradoxically proved themselves
to be all right when It comes to amus
ing the park audiences.
Lou North, monologist; Lillian's
Dogs, The Dold Sisters and
The Shattucks, in an interesting Jug
gling act, all contribute their bit
toward making the park bill an extra
ordinary strong show.
The park bill for next week will
have as a feature attraction Mercedes
Bach and Company, in a one-act plav,
entitled "The New Tveform." This act
with four others jt equal merit, prom
ises to make the coming park show
one that you canot afford to miss.
Emmy Wehlen, the pretty little
Metro star, will be the chief attrac
tion at the Colonial
'•Sower* and Theater to-dav in a

Major Courtenay, who contrived to de
