Special matinee for the children. A lot of interest has already been evinced in the return of "Experience" to Harrisburg, where "Experience" it is booked for the Coming Orpheum Theater for the entire week of March 18. with the regular Wednes day and Saturday matinees. The play, by George V. Hobart. has been known ail over the country as "the most wonderful play in America," and it would seem that it had well earned lliis title, with its phenomenal record of nine months in New York, and two return engagements since; seven months in Chicago, five months in Boston, and live months in Philadel phia.

"Hans und Fritz" and all their merry relatives In a feast of songs, dances and the merry pranks introduced by the two mischievous youngsters who are known to all readers of the "omic pages of the daily papers. "Hans und Fritz" are best known for their rough treatment of their Uncle Heine, in which their aunt comes in for her share of troubles, caused by what happens to Uncle Heine and der Captain. Gus Hill, master producer of cartoon musical shows, is sponsor for this one, which he has sent on tour with a large company of singers and dancers as well as a nu ir.ber of vaudeville artists. "Hans und Fritz" will be offered with a singing and dancing chorus of good-looking girls and manly boys, who have been selected for their ability to both sing and dance. A bargain matinee will make it possible for all the children to see "Hans und Fritz." tion; the company numbers eighty people, and the production is both massive and magnificent. "Experience" is written after the style of the old-fashioned morality plays of 400 years ago, and tells the story of Youth and his adventures on the Primrose Path whither he has followed Pleasure, having turned his back on Ambition and Opportunity when Pleasure made her first appear ance. riotous living, gambling and pleasure-seeking. Youth finds himself penniless and deserted by his fairweather friends. He seeks work and we see him working as a waiter in a low Bowery resort, and having for his companion a girl of the streets, Frailty. He seems bound for sure perdition when, through the memory of his mother's love and the influence of the church he reforms and returns to his litle sweetheart in the country. Travelers through the Far East are familiar with the types of street en tertainers of "fakirs," Street FnklrH famous throughout of Far East the Orient. Lyman H. Howe, whose Travel Festival comes to the Orpheum, Fri day and Saturday, with daily mati ness, has caught one of the odd va rieties. This street entertainer, of Canton, AMISEMKS'IS VICTORIA TO-DAY mid TO-MORROW Theda Bara "" c Incomparable, In "DU BARRY" WEDNESDAY nnil TIIt.'HSDAY "PARENTAGE" FRIDAY null SATURDAY GEORGE WALSH in "JACK SPURLOCK- PRODIGAL VICTORIA an old Chinaman, specializes in the gentle art of smashing rocks with his head. He places a stone in the mid dle of the street, takes a deep breath, leaps into the air and lands gently but firmly headforemost on the rock. The collision invariably shatters the stone. This oddity is only one of many strange things recorded by the Howe cameras in a remarkable live-year photographic trip througli China, which takes the Howe tourists into the secret corners of the Celestial Em pire, including the famous forbidden City of Pekin. The new Howe program also num bers a picturesque and comprehensive tour through /Alaska, a visit to Coney Island by day and night; a thrilling mountain lion hunt in Montana, and intimate views of Uncle Sam's gigan tic war caterpillar tractors In action. Animated caricatures and film nov elties, typical of the Howe entertain ment and immensely popular with its patrons, will be freely interspersed throughout the-program. "The Thirteenth Chair," Bayard Veiller's sensational success, which ran for one year at the "The Forty-eighth Street Thirteenth Theater, New York, Chair" will be seen here for a return engagement Wednesday, matinee and night. March 13. William Harris, Jr., who produc ed "The Thirteenth Chair." has spared neither pains nor expense to give it art adequate presentation on its road tour. It is said the cast assembled has been chosen with infinite care, and the production, itself Is an exact replica of that used at the Forty eighth Street Theater. "The Thir teenth Chair" will be seen here for only a limited engagement, and if the play enjoys the same enthusiastic re ception here as it did in New York, which it undoubtedly will, it might i be an excellent plan for local theater- I goers to make their reservations for I that engagement as early as possible. A treat is promised Harrisburg | music lovers at the Majestic the early half of this | Victor'* MtiMirnl week. Victor's Melnnßc at Majestic Musical Me lange, one of | the best organizations of its kind on I the stage, is the headliner. Fourteen lirst-class musicians, with Lillian ; George, offer a musical program that | is made up of a choice selection of both vocal and instrumental numbers. Appropriate stage settings and pic- I turesque costumes make this a pleas | ing "sight attraction." A popular comedy umber on the bill is Frank Ward, monologist, who has a budget of funny stories and jokes, which he delivers in splendid style. He winds | up his act with some songs and paro j dies that are well received. Francis Oyer, assisted by a young woman, | furnish ' good entertainment with 1 their comedy singing offering. Both | are clever and the one's impersonation : of a "scrub woman" is said to be very i funny. Two other comedy turns com plete the vaudeville program. 1 To-day's attraction at the Colonial Theater is a return showing of the Selznick picture. | Norma Tnlmmlec "The Secret of at the Colonial the Storm Coun- Country," in i which charming Norma Talmadge is AMUSEMENTS ORPHEUM TOMORROW MATINEE J. vmvivxwy & X | GHT GUS HILL OFFERS The laughing Success Hans und Fritz Funny PRICES Matinee, 25c and 50c I J Evening, 25c to SI.OO ; THUR.

No more congenial role could ( have been Riven Miss Talmadge than k that of "Tesslbel Skinner," the little mountain girl, who sheds a ray or light over the lives of those whose path she crosses. She and "Daddy Skinner are living happily together, but a man comes into her life who causes her more sorrow than happi ness. "Tess" Is brave, however, and in the end the sun shines through the clouds for her and she finds the hap ness she so richly deserved. Norma Talmadge is a joy to watch in this picture and she lends to the role of "Tessibel Skinner" a winsomeness and charm that few actresses could give. To-morrow, a return engagement of Clara Kimball Young in "Shirley Kaye," will be shown. Ask those who i have seen this picture what their opinion of it is and they will tell you it is a winner. Miss Young is very beautiful, and gives an excellent por trayal of the title role. The picture which will be shown at the Regent Theater to-day and to morrow is Jack Juck l'ickford in Pickford's latest "The Spirit of 'l7" Paramount of fering, "The Spirit of '17," in which the clever young star portrays Davy Glidden, a patriotic youngster of the Middle West, who. with the help of aTiumber of worn-out old veterans of the Civil War. saves his town from German | spies, who attempt to blow up a mine and who have also incited a riot. The production is an interesting one in photoplay history, and one of the best the brilliant young actor has done in some time. Judge Wilis Brown, of the Chicago Juvenile Court, is the author of the story, and into it he has woven many of his experi ences on the bench, as well as a beau tiful thread of romance of a different kind. The picture was arranged for the screen by Julia Crawford Ivers, and directed by William D. Taylor, v/ho guided the now famous brother of Mary Pickford in his recent suc cesses. "The Varmint," "Tom Sawyer" and "Jack and Jill." Reinald Warrenrath comes to Har risburg Monday, March 11. This simple announcement will Snrnh I.enter mean just one Itcneflt Concert thing to those who know and appreci ate Who's Who in the musical world, for there is no more popular baritone in the t'nitcd States than this young American. With him will appear a violinist of whom Harrisburg, and in fact the entire state of Pennsylvania, has every to be proud, Miss Sarah Lerrier. This combination will give one of the most pleasing programs ever given in this city, a program with a wide appeal, and the two artists will unquestionably be greeted with a ca pacity house. The complete program will be published within a few days. There is one number that will be given by Mr. Warrenrath. and which will not appear on the printed pro gram, thai every man, woman and child, who loves their country, should hear. This number is not new in name, we are all familiar with it, most of us know every word in every line, but we venture the statement that we have never fully realized just what it means, we have never sensed the significance of its words, or its music, until Mr. Warrenrath interprets it. It is that old soul-stirring hymn, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Mr. Warrenrath has distinguished himself this year by his wonderful rendition of this great song. It has a new meaning now, when America, with her allies, stands as the defender of democracy, and it is as if our fore fathers' spirits had pervaded the scene when Mr. Warrenrath. in his wonderful, resonant voice, sings, "As He died to make men Holy, let us die to make men Free." and then raising his arms in a signal for the audience ! to rise, as they join him in the chorus, "Glory, Glory, Halleluiah," etc. Theda Bara. the talented William Fox screen star, has completely out done herself in the Thedn Hum, sumptuous produc iii "Iu Barry," tion of the famous nt Victoria French play, "Du Barry." After care fully studying the life of this remark able character, Miss Bara gives to the screen play a more powerful interpre tation than was presented .on the stage for many years. The story has to do with a king who is attracted to a woman whom he sees on the street while out driving. He seeks an introduction and is captivated. Ever after Du Barry wields a wonderful in fluence over the king, despite the fact that her many enemies seek to have her dethroned. There are myriads of gorgeous scenes in "Du Barry," each filled with brilliancy and charm and which serve to make this one of the really big features of the screen.
