plete with funny situations and keeps
the audience In constant laughter.
The Van Brothers are scoring a hit
with their comedy songs and non

songs and comedy over In excellent
style. Dougherty and Scaliu have a
bright song and patter skit of the

Western Drama is to bo seen to
day and to-morrow
at the Regent in his latest Paramount
release, "Nan of Music Mountain."
This is a western drama, being the
thrilling tale ot a man who started
out to revenge his father's murder.
How he is turned from his purpose
and made to forget the hatred in his
heart through the love of Nan (Ann
l.ittlei makes a photoplay that Is in
; terestlng as well as picturesque. The
j scene is laid in the Rockies, and. be
sides the gripping story, the picture
contains somo exceptionally bquutiful
photography. it is seldom, indeed.
I that a motion picture cast actually
achieves the honor of being 'all-star,'
| but such is the cast which was chosen
to support the popular star in this
! photoplay. Theodore Roberts, Rav

J Cruze, Horace B. Carpenter. Henry

in the way of dancing novelties, and
I the program this season has these
i characteristics to such an exceptional
I degree that It is Said to more than fill
expectations. Prominent among the
l special hits is a clog dance done by
"animated toys'" during the action of
i the fantasy. "Santa Claus at Home."
j Clog dancing is not attempted very
j often as a chorus number because of
I the difficulty in getting a large
j group to execute it in perfect unison,
j The slightest variation on the part

, sound of the clogs, be apparent to

much enthusiasm. The "toys" are

Boston. The book and lyrics are by
Kdward Clark, co-author of "You're
In Ix>ve," and the music by Silvio
Heln. The story Is concerned with
the complications resulting from the
purchase by a wife of a sable coat at
a bargain sale. Her brother pawns
the coat to make a bet on the races.
Another wife sees it, and the hubby
oi wife No. 1 presents it to her. In
order to avoid criticisms on the part
of her husband, wife No. 2 again
pawns It and gives hubby the ti<Hiet.
He gets the coat and liis stenograph

favorites as Harriet. Burt. Feme Rog
ers, Burrell Barbaretto, Thomas Bur

catchy musical numbers, some of
which are "When My Wife's Away,"
"Furs and Frills," "lVoes Polly Want

Rex Beach's greatest picture, "The
Auction Block." released by the
Goldwyn Pic
"The Auction llloek" tures Corpor
at the Colonial ation, closes a
two-day en
gagement at the Colonial Theater to
night. It is a picture of rare merit
and deserves to rank among the
greatest achievements of the moving
picture art. Brilliantly produced on
a grand scale, directed by that fine
artist, Larry Trimble; acted by an all
star cast chosen especially for their
titness, and with a plot written by a
great literary genius. "The Auction
Block" is a film supreme.
To-morrow—the popular screen
star, Karle Williams, will be seen in
the Vitagraph feature, "In the Hal

balanced between hatred for all wom

from the road to shame. Supporting
Mr. Williams is beautiful Grace Uar

Dark." To-day and to-morrow we
also show captivating June Caprice in
"Unknown. 274," a big story of a lit
tle girl who went to a big city and
what became of her. It is not the
usual sort of big city story, but
rather an interesting picture of how
she is no longer to be called "Un

phanage. She finds her long-lost
father and makes a big dent in the
heart of a millionaire.

reported from many localities.
In Conway yard, west of Pitts- j
