VAUDEVILLE BILL
IS ENTERTAINING
on Majestic Pro
gram ; Worth-W ay ten
Quartet a Big Hit
A well selected variety of singing,
dancing and comedy acts feature the
bill for the latter part of the week
at the Majestic Theater. "Worth-
Wayten Four," a quartet with an un
usual way of singing and impersona
tions, won the applause of the audi
ence. The imitations of musical in
struments and timely jolces featured
the act-
Kay and Belle open the program
with a dancing act. Although grace
ful in the dancing and entertaining,
the pair could not measure up to some
of the high-class dancing presented
at the theater this season.
Doris Darr, in "Five Sevens" (7-17-
27-37-47), was well received by the
audience, largely because of the novel
plan which she followed out in pre
senting the act. The actress display
id talent in impersonating live stages
in the age of a girl from the time she
is seven years old until she has reach
ed the age of 47. The new and spicy
.lokes presented by Larry Simpson and
• 'ompany, in "The Road to Reno,"
kept the audiencie in a continual up
roar. This act was very entertaining
and well played.
Jewell's Mannikins, "Circus Day in
Toyland," was entertaining and in
structive. Much skill was evident in
handling the toy figures which were
used.

vein and among which are: "Allies," "Make Him Guess," "I'd to Be a Quitter, but Find It Hard to Quit," "For Better or For Worse," "W hen a
Girl's About to Marry." "Neapolitan Ix>ve Song,' "I Wish I Was an Island in an Ocean of Girls," "Flirting," "All For You," "In a Little World tor

pheuni to-night and to-morrow, mati
nee and night.
This production of A\ illiam A.
Brady's, wliieh was written by Jules
Kckert Goodman ami founded on a
short story by .Tolm Fleming Wilson,
lias been a sensation of New York for
the past year. The story of the young
man. spoiled by i iches, who is turned
out to shift for himself, and who. alter
poinfr to the depths, tinds in an opium
den in China the woman who is to
lead him back every step of the wa>
has taken sueh a hold upon New York
audiences that the play could easilj
have run another six months, were it
not for the fact that Miss Grace
George had to have her theater for
her own repertoire season.
"There She Goes," the newest musi
cal comedv knockout, comes to the
Orpheum. matinee and night.
••There Monday, December 31. It is
she said to he an immense suc
i;ncs" cess, with an extraordinary
lavish and ingenious combi
nation of music, spectacle and trav-
AMUSEMENTS
esty. Besides Harvey Orr, the chief
funmaker, there are many others who
contribute to the success of the oom
edy. There is a famous beauty chorus
gorgeously gowned, whirling dancers,
principals that can sing, and a musi
cal setting from the pen of Louis
Weslyn, one of New Tork's most pro
line writers. The general opinion is
that this latest offering is one of the
most consistent, and best all-around
musical comedies produced this sea
son. and the capacity audiences with
which it has been greeted since the
inception of the tour has amply
proved that opinion. Martha Craven,
a dainty prima donna, is considered
one of the best singers in the lighter
form of musical comedy. The Dancing
Leßoys are in a class by themselves
and the chorus of twenty-five is
shown to advantage in a dozen
changes of magnificent costuming.
Some of the whistly tunes are: "There
She Goes." "Hawaiian Moon." "Some
Girl In the Summertime," "The Sea
side Rag." "In Honolulu Town," "An
Absent-minded Man." "When You're
Twenty-one" and "Sometime If Dreams
Come True." A matinee at war-time
prices will be a special inducement.
Rnchanting music and an unusually
bright book of lyrics, according to
the critics elsewhere, ac
" The counts for the Immense
Frincefta success that is being en-
P*t" joyed by the latest Victor
Herbert-llenry Blossom
musical comedy, "The Princess Pat,"
which comes to the Orpheum Theater
on New Year's Day, Tuesday, January
1, matinee and night, only. That in
teresting and humorous books and
lyrics and entrancing music can be
created by Blossom and Herbert, re
spectively. is best proved by their
earlier combined achievements, which
include: "M'dlle Modiste" and "The
Prima Donna," two operas which
Fritzi Scheff starred, and "The Red
Mill," a vehicle that was valuable to
Montgomery and Stone. The story of
"The Princess Pat" is built around
the endeavor of the Princess di Mon
taldo (nee Patrice O'Connor), other
wise known as Pat, to win back the
warm affection of her Italian hus
band. who latterly has shown signs of
indifference toward his vivacious,
young Irish wife. That the witty and
resourceful little Pat, with the as
sistance of Bob Darrow. a good-na
tured chap of the adventurer type,
works out her designs to a happy
conclusion is only accomplished after
j all the parties involved have experi
enced some surprises. A pretty love
J romance, in which Grace Holbrook
i and young Tony O'Brien figure, lend
I additional interest to Air. Blossom's
book. Of the music, and there are
twenty numbers, that Mr. Herbert
composed for this comedy, it can be
safely said that they are equals of
any he has supplied to his many other
successful operas or musical come
dies. A few of the hits are: "Two
Laughin" Irish Eyes," "Loye Is Best
of All, "1-lirting," "I Wish I Was an
Ocean of Girls," 'Make Him Guess,"
"All For You." "In a Little World For
Two," "Neapolitan Love Song" and

MARK TWAIN'S BOY HER

1 " ———— : [ 5004 §"
Boys of all ages, from six to 90, will welcome tlie advent of Tom Saw
yer, the immortal hero of Mark Twain, at the Regent Theater to-day. This
picture will be shown to-day and to-morrow. No less a star than clever
Jack Piekford, brother of the farr.oiis Mary Pickford, will play the part.
Mr. Pickford has long been an admirer of Mark Twain's, and especially or
"Tom Sawyer." He has not forgotten what it was to -steal ,lam or raid
tlie doughnut jar, and better than any young actor has succeeded in bring
ing to the screen the very incarnation of American boyhood.
There will be a double attraction at the Regent to-day and to-mor
row, as the Mack-Sennett comedy will also be shown. Another sidesplit
ting comedv from a justly famous line.
The ever-popular star of the stage and screen, Fannie Ward, will be
seen on Monday in the Paramount production of "Her Strange Wedding,"
especially prepared for the screen by Charles Maigne from George Middle
ton's popular story.
"The Shoes of Husband Number One
as Worn by Number Two."
The new vaudeville program the.
!ast half of this week at the Majestic
was warmly received at all
At flic three performances yester-
MujeMie day. Headline honors of
the bill go to Madame
Jewel and her Mannikins, who are
presenting an enjoyable little act
called "Circus Day in Toyland." Even
though these mannikins are only
pieces of wood cut out to represent
men and women, they nevertheless
can act just like real peonle and fur
nish delightful entertainment for
young and old alike. Dainty Doris
Dare, an excellent singing comedi
enne, is one of the big hits of the
bill. Miss Dare has a number of
songs which she knows how to put
across the footlights at their true
worth. An amusing sketch entitled,
"Reno and Return," is being present
ed by Simpson and Company.
It is a good comedy offering and
pleased yesterday's audiences. The
Worth-Wayten Four, a splendid com
edy male quartet, and Kay and Belle,
in an artistic dance offering, complete
the bill.
"His Picture In the Papers" is the
title of the moving picture attraction
which is being shown at
At the the Colonial Theater to
(olontnl night and to-morrow. The
fact that Douglas Fair
banks is the star of this production
makes it one of real worth, for movie
fans know that a picture in which
this well-known comedian is featured
is certain to prove splendid entertain
ment. It is said there are enough
thrills in the feature to satisfy the
most urgent seeker after excitement.
"His Picture In the Papers" is a reis
sue of one of Fairbanks' Triangle pic
tures, and is one of the best produc
tions he ever appeared in under this
banner.
The management of the Regent
Theater announced yesterday that it
had secured "The
"The .Tiulirment Judgment Hour.e"
HoiiKe-" CnmtnK for presentation
to Urgent here on New Year's
Day and the two
days following. This assures Harris
burg theatergoers of another domi
nant holiday bill for the first day of
H<lß, and will furnish a special attrac
tion of unusual merit.

"The Judgment House," is one of the

the Victoria to-morrow In "Babes

lightful six-act drama. This famous
old story is taken from the book of
the same name. It is a picture cal
culated to please the "kiddies" and
lake grownups back to their child
hood days. Remember the old witch's
cottage, made of gingerbread, stick
candy, hot cross buns, and other deli
cacies?. You'll see it. and other things
too marvelous to tell, and you'll just
revel and roar and rage when you see
all the things that happen to the poor
little babes in the woods. Francis
Carpenter and Virginia Corbin
are the stars. For Monday and Tues
day, for the first time in this city, the
noted star, Alice Brady, in the inter
national feature, ."Maid of the Bel

tion. a fact which in itself denotes
an extraordinary feature.
SCENE FROM THE SMASHING
SUCCESS, "THE
•The Man Who Came Back," which comes from a run of over one year
(48!J performances) in New York, will be seen at th rt Orpheum to-night and
to-morrow, matinee and night. This production of \\ illiam A. Brady s,
written by Jules Kckert Goodman, and fonnded on a short story of the
same name by John Fleming Wilson, was the most remarkable success in
contemporary New York theatrical annals. It seemed to the theatrical
world as if New York would never let it go, and when it did finally after
fifty-seven weeks, it was only because Miss Grace George had to have the
Playhouse.
In the cast will be: Dorothy Bernard, William Crowell, Redfleld Clark,
Harrv Sleight. S. B. Hamilton, Henry Davis. Irving White. Frank Hpwson,
William Rlaisdell. George Howard, Ben Nedelle, Mulbevt Frederick, Fuller
Golden. Alice l.orraine. Alma Chester. Cora Calkins, Marion Berry and

Effect of Apples|
,On the War
JOSEPH OLDFIELD, Senior Medical offi
cer to the Lady Margaret's Fruitarian
Hospital of England, says:
"It will be a grave risk to England's
home stamina if her supply of apples
is cut off, because during winter con
ditions in this climate they are super
ior to either lemons or oranges, and
cannot be replaced by any other
fruit."
In apples Nature has imprisoned sugar,
acids, salts, phosphorus and other elements
which are absolutely essential to good health
and strength. Being mildly laxative, apples
rid the body of waste that ruins complexion,
affects the nerves and dulls the mind.
