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. The big laugh
comes at the finish of the bill with

Among the many interesting things
shown in Lyman 11. Howe's Travel
Festival, which
Historic China nnd will be present-
Alaska's Wonder* ed at the Or

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

dragonboat racing, an odd Chinese
wedding, rare interior glimpses of the

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

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

"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.

its predecessor, just as delightful, a
love story and beyond that is founded
on mystery—a mystery which calls
into play the detective ability which
everyone believes himself to possess,

tory working out of a puzzling crimi
nal case that has taxed every re-

lis said no play ever produced in
America has been the subject of
more comment than "The Thirteenth

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

their own opinions, they liked the

beautiful voice and his magnetic per
sonality, but because he 1B one of the

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.
