'KIDS'ENTERTAIN
IN CLEVER PLAY
"Hans and Fritz" Up to Usual
Tricks on Mamma and
"Der Captain"
The "Katzenjammer Kids" frolic
ing at the Orpheum theater last
evening, amused a fairly large at
tendance. The play founded on the
"Katzenjammer Kids" cartoon
proved to bo full of hilarity, catchy
liusic, excellent dancing and good
comedy, although at times it had a
tendency to be serious. During the
three acts presented the "Kids" were
the center of attraction, performing
those little tricks on "der Captain"
and on "Ma Katzenjammer" that
kept the crowd in good humor. The
"Inspector" also came in for his
share of the pranks of the "boys."
The small chorus of girls was fas
cinating, pretty and did some good
dancing. "Ma Katzenjammer" and
"der Captain" were exceptionally
"well taken, and Henry and Jake
Washer as the "Kids" lived up to the
reputation of the original "Kids" in
the cartoon.

embrace "Oh, Boy," the New York
musical comedy success, that bids fair
of being one of the big musical events

Orpheum to-day, mati
nee and night.
"Oh, Boy" is the joint contribution
of Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse,
who wrote the book and lyrics, and
Jerome Kern, who composed the
music. From a musical standpoint
"Oh, Boy," stands as a peer among
musical comedies. In the score there
are eighteen distinct musical hits,
any one of which would make a musi
cal comedy book a huge success.
"An Old-fashioned Wife," "'Till the
Clouds Roll By," "A Pal Like You,"
"Rolled Into One," "Oh, Daddy,
Please!" and "You Never Knew About
Me," are but a few of the tuneful
numbers.
"Oh, Boy" ran an entire season in
New York at the Princess Theater.

promise that the engagement will' be
a brilliant affair with local leaders in

unusual advantage of being the big

The massive organization will reach

"Columbia," which was built by the
Pullman Company for Roosevelt, |
when President, and used by him on
all his speaking tours. Mr. Jolson

>4l Jolson as Friday, in "Robinson Crusoe, Jr."
The many admirers of Al. Jolson,
who remark that he docs not employ
a accent on the stage, al
though working in blackface, would
delight to meet him face to face at a
moment when he is excited. Jolson
does not that a broad .. .
dialect would be helpful to his work,
not that he cannot master it, but be
cause a big factor in his success Is
the clearness of his enunciation,
which drives, every point to his hear
ers. He believes that to give a
smoky tinge to his dialect might
cloud his meaning, and—he actually
struggles against the use of dialect
in his public appearances.
Jolson's natural speech is the soft
patois of the Sunny South. A stranger,
standing outside of his dressingroom
door, and hearing him in earnest con
versation within, might easily jump
to the conolusion that the colored
porter was putting up an argument
with some one. On the stage ho is
struggling against his natural speech,
Weber, who direct its tour, have con
templated offering " reward to anyone
in an audience allowing a serious
mien as the tinal curtain (alls. It is
said to be a clevery conceived play
with a plot elaborated upon the re
sulting possibilities of telling nothing
but the absolute truth to one's fel
lows. It seems a simple thing to do,
but see this farce and you will realize
what complications and involved
situations may result from such an
action. No need to go hito long de
tails ot the story; it need only be said
that it is 01 the excruciatingly funny
class of plays, that keeps an audience
in the throes of hearty, wholesome
laughter for 150 minutes. What bet
ter order of stage entertainment could
be asked?
A stern believer in the sentiment
that "be it ever so humble, there's no
place like home," Na-
Sio I.oniccr poleon, the wonderful
u Mingle- offspring of cartoon
Tootlied aristocracy, the Newly-
Clierul) weds, proceeds in his
latest edition of liveli
ness, "The Newlyweds Grown-Up
Baby," to do everything in his youth
ful power to make it come true.
Napoleon is no longer the single
tootlied cherub of the days of "The
Newlyweds and Their Baby," he's
grown up now. In school he has man
aged to form an interesting clan,,
whose membership do much to aid
him in making life eventful for the
poor, long-suffering Newlyweds.
Folks who know say if you liked
little Napoleon and fond Papa Newly
wed and equally fond Mamma Newly
wed, you can rest assured you're go
ing to adore the present offspring,
Napoleon grown up. Maybe he hasn't
grown up gracefully, but he hasn't
tainly added a number of interesting
possibilities to his makeup in the
process.
And there is another thing that you
will probably recall about the earlier
Newlyweds, the music was real tune
ful music, the sort you liked to hear
and liked to whistle afterward. Well,
it is said, in "The Newlyweds Grown-
Up Baby," which comes to the Or
pheum Theater, Tuesday, matinee and
night, the.re is a lot more tuneful
musical numbers, a clever company
and one of the sweetest and best
dressed choruses on the road, a verit
able garden of peaches.
A popular comedy number on the
Majestic bill, the first halt of this
week, is Barnes and Kobin-
The son, clever duo, who are of
>litjeMtic fering a breezy song and
Uill patter skit. Their songs
are new and livoly, and
their line of rapid-lire comedy fur
nishes plenty of laughs. Other splen
did attractions on the 1)111 are Doree's
Oriental Singers, an aggregation of
vocalists, in an excellent operatic of
fering; O'Neil and Walmsley, the
popular ecentrlc coirtcdians; Little
Hip and Napoleon, the famous baby
elaphant, and his pal, Chimpanzee,
and Alva and Partner, novelty aerial
ists.
Dainty Eva Lallue, Harrisburg's fa
vorite comedienne, will be one of the
blight gleamers on the bill the last
half of the week. Miss Lallue and'a
company of ten clever entertainers
are presenting a miniature musical
comedy entitled "The Art Studio." The
production is beautifully staged and
costumed and is said to he diverting
and entertaining throughout. Other
acts on the bill are the Lightning
Weston, comedy cartoonist; Mosher,
Hayes and Mosher, a trio of comedy
bicyclists; Rogers and Wood, two girls
in a refined song and dance offering,
and Newhoft and Phelps, the harmon
izing duo, in a lively song and patter

Jolson was born and reared in
Washington. D. C. Most of his edu
cation was acquired through loaling
around the wharfs and railroad yards
where the careless, happy-go-lucky
negroes sing and Joke as they toil.
Running away from school was his
favorite diversion as a youth, and en
vironment and unconscious assimila
tion fastened the accent of the plan
tation upon him. It has stuck witn
him through life, and it is only when
upon the stage that he gets away
from it.
All of which is pretty hard for the
average person in the uudience to un
derstand until he stops to weigh the
fact that Jolson'3 every word "gets
over." This famous comedian, in his
latest and greatest New York Winter
Garden scenic spectacle, "Robinson
Crusoe, Jr.," will be seen at the Or

this feature. "The Lamb" served to
introduce the popular comedian to the
motion picture public for the first
time, and firmly intrenched him in the
hearts of movie fans.
A six-reel Metro production, en
titled "Paradise Garden," based on
George Gibb's novel of the same title,

the provisions of his father's will, is

William S. Hart, gent. Contrary,

Ed belief, the ter
rific fights seen from time to time on
the screen are the real thing. There
is no possibility of faking them. In
this production a spectacular hand
to-hand encounter between Hart and
several Barbary Coast toughs is fea
tured. Hart gives a wonderful im
personation of an outlaw chief. His
last hold-up, however, introduces him
to the girl in the case, and from that
time on he is a changed man. But
circumstances point to "Betty" as a
crook, and only after many thrilling
incidents are matters straightened out
for the outlaw and his sweetheart.

a fine peg upon which to hang a
choice collection of humor, philoso
phy and vlrllo comment touching our
day and generation. Optimism was
the groundwork of the talk an'd it
was interlarded with frequent jabs
and shortarm Jolts against the ele
ments of our American society which
are unimportant save only as they
tend to create false impressions of
us among visitors from other coun
tries. While Haying unmercifully
our national shortcomings, Mr. Bangs
handled without gloves the writers
and lecturers who come here from
abroad, accept our hospitality, and
then go home to misrepresent and
abuse us. These he pilloried to the
great delight of all present.
Out of the great war, the lec
turer suggested, will come a better
type of men and women. We shall
lose the weaklings who have failed
to appreciate our free Institutions
and through the stress of a world
struggle will emerge a stronger and
better race.
For almost two hours Mr. Bangs
held the attention of an audience
that was charmed with his wonderful
versatility and power in discussing
the splendid qualities of the Amer-
lean people—their unselfish generos- j
ity, t.helr Rood nature, hospitality and 1
patriotism.
It was such a lecture as must
make better Americans of all who
heard him and these are Indebted 1
to tho Civic Club for bringing him
to Harrisburg at this time. Our city's
latch string is always out for John
