18 iAMisefflefTtg NOVELTY BILL A BIG SUCCESS [Laughable Acts on Majestic Program Please Large Audicnee Noveltylcontinues a strong feature 1 * at the Majestic. The week-end offer ing, mostly a man show, found much favor at the opening performances yesterday and should prove a big success. The majority of the acts are laugh-producers. "Too Many Women" is the title of a comedy sketch offered by Harry Bond and company. It affords op portunity for some good comedy act ing. which is taken advantage of by the members of the company. Laughs are made continuous because of the many complications a young man goes up against in trying to keep faith with more than one woman. Curley and Welch keep the audi ence in a roar with their sketch. "Mr. Flynn From Lynn." They hand out much that is original, depicting scenes about a railroad station. Britt Wood, the rube comedian, with his- harmonica and banjo, could not' satisfy the audience. He was oblig ed to beg off with his encores. The four Charles, acrobats and jugglers, open the bill with one of the best transformation novelty fea tures seen at the local playhouse this season. Their work is not only won derful, but artistic.

Howe's Travel Festival, which Historic China nnd will be present- Alaska's Wonder* ed at the Or pheum to-night and to-morrow, matinee and night, is the manner in which Chinese com mercial men use to advantage the hu man slaves of the Orient —the coolies. Though nominally not in bondage, they have to labor for twelve hours per day and receive as compensation one cent per hour, living in squalor in floating cities of boats. The film of China ajso shows exciting dragonboat racing, an odd Chinese wedding, rare interior glimpses of the 'lanche Hall and Jos. Garr y in a Scene From the Dramatic Hit, "The 13th Chair" Em The title of "The Thirteenth Chair." which melodrama of mystery,' after a run of a year in New York and three months in Chicago, will be presented at the Orpheum, matinee and night, Wednesday, for a return engagement, is in itself attention-arresting' and provocative of speculation as to its derivation and application* It concerns the thirteenth chair of the lot that is placed in a circle for occupancy by the persons who are about to participate in a spiritualistic seance. The group is seated holding each others hands, the lights are extinguished; a few minutes later, when the lights are snapped on, the man who has been so unfortunate as to choose the thirteenth chair for himself is found murdered. He has been stabbed in the back. But the remainder of the circle is still intact, and as all the doors and windows of the room have been securely locked there is not a possibility that anyone has been able to enter or leave the room. Forbidden City, sacred tombs of the Emperors, and many other interest ing things of the celestial empire. In another part of the program we see an intrepid mountaineer go into the wilds of the Northwest and capture, with the assistance of trained dogs, a wild mountain lion, while elsewhere in the entertainment is shown the kodiak bear, the largest and most vicious of beasts in Alaska, being bagged by a daring hunter. Refined comedy of the highest type will be Afforded in the presentation of fast and furious fun at Coney Island, by day and night. Every inch of this .film is full of human interest and sheer good humor, which makes the picture ring true to life, while the 'night scenes are marvels of nocturnal photography. Genial Tom Wise, prince of Ameri can character comedians, and William Courtenay, most plaus "General ible and charming, will Post" appear at the Orpheum, Tuesday night as co-stars in what is pronounced a rarely de lightful comedy, "General Post," pro-, 'duced under the management of [Charles Dillingham. The easy grace with which the two accomplished tilayers toss the ball of merriment "deftly back and forth has been dem 'onstrated many times. In "General Post" they are said to have achieved a real triumph, and they come here 'direct from a big hit at the Gaiety "Theater. New York, and the Broad 'Street Theater, Philadelphia. ' "General Post" deals cleverly with the social changes brought about by the world's war. It is said to be one of the most agreeable comedies that Tias come out of England in a long time, and is described as lively and amusing from start to finish. The title of the play has been taken from an old English parlor game some times called "Stage Coach." At the cry of "General Post," everybody must change places. Thus "General Post" means a general shakeup. As in the children's game, so in the game of life, the cry is applicable, and at no time more than at the present, now that, under the domination of Mars, we see peers in the ranks and tailors in command. As England has no monopoly, in snobbishness, this play which looks ahead to a time when the war has been finished and holds a moral for us as well. "The Thirteenth Chair," the melo drama of mystery, by Bayard Veillier, which ran for a year in "The New York and for three Thirteenth months in Chicago, will I'halr" lie seen at the Orpheum. Wednesday. matinee and night. Bayard Veillier wrote ••Within the Law" and the success of that piece created for him an audi ence probably greater than can be boasted by any other American play wright.

It lis said no play ever produced in America has been the subject of more comment than "The Thirteenth Chair," and no other play has been Iso successful in sending away an au j dience that admits it has been misled I and is thoroughly pleased because of it. Not until the curtain falls upon , the last act is it possible for anyone who has not seen the play to exactly foretell its denoument. The song and violin recital, next Monday evening in the Orpheum Theater by Reinald Werrenrath ami Werrenrath and I.emer Recital Miss Sara Lemer, is awaited with eagerness for many reasons. The public is glad to show its apprecia tion of Miss Lemer, who has made a name and place for herself in this community by her violin-playing. It is also eager to hear Reinald Werrenrath, who, to manv is only known by his records. They have won him such favor, that even non musical, unswayed by such a critic as Sigmund Spaeth, when he declares: "Mr. Werrenrath has etsablished himself as the leading American bari tone on the concert stage," are en thusiastically awaiting his appear ance. Mr. Werrenrath comes here almost directly from his first tour of the Pa cific coast, where he was received with As to Spirit Methods : , v . .. \ yt > i t > BLANCHE HA 1,1, In the third act of "The Thirteenth Chair," Bayard Veiller's sensationally successful melodrama, to be seen here at the Orpheum, Wednesday, matinee and night, Rosalie the spiritualistic medium, seeing a net of circumstantial evidence that wili*con vict the young woman of murder clos ing about her daughter, appeals to "Laughing Eyes," her "spirit con trol," for help. All the old woman asks is a sign or a message to con vince her that her innocent child will not be forced to pay the penalty of another's crimes. Suddenly there comes two knocks—the spirit's re sponse .to Rosalie's plea—and follow ing a line of action dictated by those knocks the medium discovers the evi dence that leads to the apprehension of the real criminal. But a moment afterward, a servant entering the room, explains that he has been re sponsible for the "message;" he has knocked twice on the door to an nounce his approach and his speech immediately kills any suspicion that might have been existent that llayard Veiller, in lifs play, was asking his audience to believe in the authenticity of spirit meetings. And yet, accord ing to the playwright, that incident probably more than any other in the piece, is the one that, had it hap pened anywhere else than on the stage of the Forty-eighth Street Theater. New York, would be pointed to by be lievers in spiritualism as evidence of the wonderful character of spirit manifestations. One of the tenets of a faith in spiritualism is that those who have died and wish to communi cate with their friends who are still alive, do in every possible case make tise of a mundane medium; it is be lieved that they deliberately trv to so manage their revelations that they will have nothing apparently of the supernatural about them. When the butler explains the knocks, which have meant so much to Rosalie LaOrange, instead of ex hibiting disappointment, the old wo man gleefully remarks: "It is a mes sage just the same," and those who credit the Rosalie LaGrange of real life with extraordinary powers, would insist that her diagnosis of the inci dent was the true one. I ovations. Out there, where they form their own opinions, they liked the famous baritone, not only for his beautiful voice and his magnetic per sonality, but because he 1B one of the comparatively few of the big artists who is both American born and whol ly American trained. His singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." which he will give here as an encore, roused everyone to the highest pitch of patriotic fervor and loyalty. Mr. Aldrich, of the New York Times, never flatters, and when he writes of Mr. Werrenrath's art, "It was singing such as is heard only once in a great while," no lover of music can afford to miss hearing him on his flrst visit to Harrisburg. C. S. Primrose announces the pro duetion of "One Girl's Experience.' This is said to be a '•One Girl's melodrama telling'the "Experience" story of the dangers that beset poor girls who work for their living, vivid with splendid situations. an absorbing story of intense human interest, em phasized with powerful climaxes. Its promotors claim that it lacks nothing Under tfie sun the playgoer demands in melodrama, and that it teaches a great lesson of life. This attraction will appear at the. Orpheum next week on Friday and Saturday, with daily matinees. One of the cleverest sketches seen on the Majestic stage this season is that presented by Harry Bond & Co. Harry Bond and at the Majestic Company. en titled "Too Many Women." It is a farce comedy pre sented by a cast of four people, all of whom were former prominent stock players. The act is well written, has an abundance of good comedy lines and situations, and was warmly re ceived by yesterday's audiences. The many complications that arise are, of course, improbable, as in all farces, but they are nevertheless funny and good for many laughs, and the act is diverting and entertaining through out. Another comedy feature on the bill is an amusing skit entitled "Mr. Flynn From Dynn," presented by Cur ley and Welch, clever comedians. They have a good line of material, which they put over at its true worth, creat ing quite a bit of laughter and offer ing a most enjoable comedy turn. Britt Wood, vaudeville's funny "rube'' comedian, in comedy, songs and dances, together with two other Keith features, round Out the bill. The beautiful Broadway star, Alice Brady, will be the attraction to-day and to-morrow Allcf Brady in "Her in her latest Mllent Saerlliee'' Selznick pic> t u re , "Her .Silent Sacrifice," which will be shown at the Colonial Theater. Mother-love is the theme of the play, and a play of this type is always well liked. Miss Brady is said to do one of the best pieces of acting in her career, and whereas another actress less gifted than she might overdo the part and make it fall flat, Miss Brady has her self well in hand and endows the leading role with an abundance of grace and charm. The latest Paramount picture to be made under the personal supervision of Thomas H. Dorothy Dnltnn In lnce, and which •"Flare-lp* Sal" stars beautiful Dorothy Dalton, is " 'Flare-Up' Sal," which is to be shown at the Regent Theater to-day and to-morrow. In this production. Miss Dalton has a role greatly dif fering from the society butterfly parts she has been taking recently. Thii is the portrayal of a wild, untamed, but winsome and comely waif in the days of the gold rush in California, who, although homeless and almost friend less, manages to forge her way through life, in the end marrying a certain famous bandit. The Red Rider, who reforms for love of her. The story was written by J. G. Hawks, a famous authority on western life, and was prepared for the screen by Thomas H. Ince himself, who has made the picturization of this popu lar story a notable one. An excel lent supporting cast, including Wil liam Conklin, Thurston Hall and other players, who have appeared with Miss Dalton in previous pictures has been provided for this production.
