Tha quality, scope and character of the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels
program, this season, are said to make it a national entertainment appro
priate to tha hour. It offers rich pageantry, picturing climax events in
America's history: a song program, by the best American singers, present

dance selections, representing those of American origin and development;
fun and humor solely American in flavor; specialty numbers typical of

Chas. Reinhart, Nick Voerg, Henri Frillhaan and John Cartmeli, reputed

"In Honolulu, or Doing Your Bit,"
the afterpiece which closes the pro
gram of The Al. G. Field
High Greater Minstrels this
Standard season, is said to be a
Afterpiece regular machinegun of
varied effects. It is oper
atic in scope with a background of
rpectacle, and yet presents a continu
ous swirl of fun. The comic situa
tions arise from the efforts of an In
ventor to induce the blackfaced come
dians to try out a bullet-proof skin he
has devised for use in battle. This
humorous strain is interwoven with
a plot-of stirring action, in which the
natives of the tropics resent tho pres
ence of the American soldiers and
connive at violence. They invoke tho
aid of their mountain deities,-who re
spond by producing volcanic erup
tions. pictured In impressive scenic
effects and expressed in some impos
ing musical selections.
The first scene of the extravaganza
shows the volcano in full blow, the
second scene represents "A Home in
Honolulu," and the third scene "A
Fete Night, in the Court Square in
Honolulu in Honor of Uncle Sam's
Army and Navy." Hawaiian numbers,
with the exotic charm peculiar to
them, are rendered in this setting.
Exciting patriotic tableaux mark the
finish, when an American battleship
is seen meeting a submarine. The Ü
boat loses, and the man-of-war hoists
the American flag; while song an
nounces to the spectator the "Free
dom of the Seas," and the "Peace of
the World."
The Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels
will be at the Orpheum, Tuesday
evening and Wednesday, matinee and
night.
The appearance of Wallace Reid in
"Nan of Music Mountain," with the
showing of the Mack-
Doulilc Sennet t comedy, "That
Attraction Night," attracted many
ot Regent theatergoers to the Re
gent yesterday. These
pictures will be shown at the local
playhouse again to-day.
"Nan of Music Mountain" tells a
thrilling story of a feud between the
outlaw Morgan family and the young
of mind, falls desperately in love with
the daughter of the leader of the
mountaineer who was made manager
of the Thief River Stage line because
he had nerve and could shoot. Wal
lace Reid plays this young fellow,
who unfortunately for his own peace
Morgan gatig. He lives but to avenge
the murder of his father, the shock
of whose death had killed hia mother
and left him with a birthmark to
commemorate his father's tragic
death. The mysterious murder and
| the long search provide a riddle that
all audiences enjoy working out.
Without doubt one of the most in
tensely human interest pictures ever
presented at the
"Unknown, 374," popular Victoria
and "In the Itnrk" Theater, is the
one now being
shown, starring winsome June
Caprice and entitled "Unknown, 274."
The piece takes Its title from the way
June is registered at an orphanage
after her father has oeen injured so
as to lose liis memory and is there
after unable to look for her. After
being horribly abused at the orphan
age she falls Into the bands of vul
tures, who try to rob her of her vio
lin, the only thing she haa to remem
ber her father, and which afterwards
is the means of finding him. She has
also attracted a millionaire, who even
tually marries her and all ends well.
"In the Dark" is a typical weatern
drama of the early days when men
were measured by the speed with
which they could tote a gun. Hart
scores another success in this power
ful picture. For Monday and Tuesday,
for the first time In this city, "A Man
Without a Country," taken from Ed
ward Everett Hale's immortal Ameri
can classic, and featuring Florence
Laßadle.
One of the most successful musical
comedies In which Edward Clark and
Silvio Ilein have collaborat
"Furs ed, will be seen at the Or
nnd pheum to-night. Tho piece
Prills" Is called "Furs and Frills,"
and came to this city almost
direct from a three months' run at
the Plymouth Theater In Boston.
"Furs and Frills" is made up of the
usual components which constitute a
musical comedy; namely, fun and
fancy, with jingling music, a host of
sprightly show girls and "broilers."
effective lighting and scenic devices.
It is said alt-o to have what few musi
cal comedies of the present day have,
a clearly defined plot. Edward Clark,
who has written a number of song
hits, has outdone himself in this
pretty little oddity, among the most
successful being: "You Can't Take It
With You When You Die," "Does
Polly Want Wally?" "Furs and
Frills," "This Is My I.uckv Day," "Al
ways Tako Mother's Advice," "The
Tale of a Coat," and others.
