WISE, M 'GENERAL POST,'AT THE ORPHEUM TOMORROW ... • William Courtenay anil Thomas A. Wise, co-stars in "Getierfti P6Mi~ will have as their leading woman t'athleen Nesbltt, when they come to tlx Orpheum to-morrow night. Miss Xeshitt's first appearance on any stam was at Philadelphia with Ladv Gregory's Irish players, when their produc tion of "The Play Boy of the Western World" caused such a turmoil. Mlsi Nesbitt has since appeared a.-; leading woman with John Barrjmore in "Justice," and as leading woman for "Arnold Daly," A Stage "Smart Alec" ' MISS 'GILROT "Entertaining liars are welcome al most anywhere; burglars who have good manners are received in polite society; the dullest of bores is toler ated by some of his acquaintances, but the 'smart alec' is an outcast." Thus speaks Miss Gilroy, who has the part of the skeptical young wo man in "The Thirteenth Chair," the celebrated melodrama of mystery which William Harris, Jr., will send to the Orplieum, Wednesday, matinee and night. It is the duty of Miss Gilroy to ac cept every manifestation of unusual power given by Rosaline LaGrange, the spiritualistic medium, with con siderably more than a grain of salt. Her part is to cast innuendo not only on the visitor's ability to Uo any thing extraordinary, but covertly to sneer at the credibility of any of her | friends who indicate a willingness to seriously consider the medium's per i tormance. When Madame LaGrange, I in an honest effort to clear the. atmos phere of suspicion directed at her in- I tegrity. deliberately discloses all of j her tricks, it is Miss Gilroy, still sus j piclous who insists upon subjecting : the old woman to being searched. By doing all of this she succeeds not only | in milady annoying the medium, but iin empressing her personality upon (the other members of the. party as that of a "too-sufUciently-enamored of-her-own acuteness" young person. Says Miss Gilroy: | "Whether or not the character is beginning to grow on me. 1 am not i sure, but of this I am certain, the at | titude of even ray warmest friends lis changing. I feel that I am being '.classed with the young woman who insists upon regarding herself as 'the | life of the party' and who shares [ that opinion with no one. ! "No sacrifice is too great to make I for one's art —yes, I know all about | that; but it will take me three or | four years to live down the reputation i.pf being a 'smart alec,' which I have i been at such pains to get. ar.d that's not a very pleasant prospect, now is I I MISSIONARY PREACHES In the absence of Dr. Lewis S. j Mudge, pastor, the Rev. D. A\ . Mont i gomory addressed thp morning and i evening services of the Pine Street I Presbyterian Church, yesterday. The i Rev. Mr. Montgomery is one of the ! missionaries of the Pine Street Church, serving in westwn states. He gave an interesting address in the I evening on "Missionary and Sunday ! School Work in the West." Dr. i Mudge. pastor of the church, is at I Camp Dix assisting in religious wrk j of that cantonment. 1.1 BI'TEXAXT MOHAN LEAVES j Members of the local recruiting I staff accompanied Lieutenant Thomas !P.

The event is a testimonial to Miss Lemer, wl>.om all Harrisburg has been interested in since her child hood. when with her little fiddle she played at concerts and church enter tainments. Now that she is a real artiste, the city is going to show its appreciation of her by turning out en- masse this evening:. Reinald Wer renrath is a great favorite with the public, and as the Rochester Times says: "One can think of no man on the concert stage whose performance is sp nearly (lawless." AVllliam Courtenay and Thomas A. Wise, co-stars and comedians of flrst rank, will come to. the "General Orpheum to-morrow even- Post" ing under the manage men of Charles Dilling ham in a new comedy, "General Post." It is a war play, but it is neither sad nor grim, and is described as a hilari ous. delightful comedy, depicting compensating episodes of war—Mars, the great leveller, slaying snobbery, nnd putting "peers in the ranks, and tailors in command." It has enjoyed a famous success in London, and has now been running for over a year at the Theater Royal.. In this country the American production, in the hands of Courtenay and Wjse, has proved a real winner, and comes here direct from a very successful engagement at thp Gaiety Theater. New York. The title of the play has been taken from an old English parlor game, sometimes 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 the present, now that, under the domination of Mars, i we see peers in the ranks and tailors paper reporter. Rosalie EaGrnnge. the old spiritual istic medium, who is the central char acter of "The Thir "The teenth Chair." coming Thirteenth to the Orpheum on Chair" Wednesday, matinee and night, tells one of the company, which she has been summoned to entertain, that "scof fing" is the easiest thing anyone can do. Thereafter she proceeds to a dem onstration of her powers which re moves all desire to scoff. There have been those in the audiences that wit ness "The Thirteenth Chair." who, while admitting the thrilling and en tertaining quality of the play, have insisted that nothing of the kind could happen in real life. For their bene fit, especially, be it known that the plot of "The Thirteenth Chair" is fouuded upon actual incidents that, together, made three very sensational murder cases in a western city a few years ago, and which Bayard Velller, the author of the play, encountered while performing his duty as a news newspaper reporter. A critic has said: "Every gril, who has ever honestly worked for a liv ing, every girl who Girls ho has ever labored un- Go to Shows der the mistaken im pression that she suf fers a loss in social standing in her community through the necessity of seeking employment, every woman, young or old, rich or poor, who be lieves herself lacking in prestige in the eyes of her more /fortunate sisters, should not fail to witness the perform ance of the newest play, 'One Girl's Experience,' at the Orpheum next Friday nnd Saturday, with daily matinees." Eugene Kirby's dramatization of a working girl's life in New Vork City is the truest picture of every-day facts that has been offered the public in nearly ,half a century. It is clean, it is wholesome, it is truth. It will bring tears and laughter alternately. It is said to stand out in the memory of the public as one of the most en joyable plays offered in a generation. • Vaudeville's latest novelty—an al lied bill—will be presented at the Ma jestic to-day, to- Thc Mnjestlc's morrow and Wed- Allied Bill nesday. Each act on the bill repre sents an ally and the headline attrac tion, "America First." represents America. This is a big attraction spectacle, in which a company of ten people (all men) take part. The act is an International musical novelty. Representing France are the Fran cqtti Sisters, in an acrobatic offering. Lady Sen Mel, billed as the Japanese Nightingale, will represent Japan. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilde, who represent England, are clever variety enter tainers. A novel feature of the act is the excellent shadowgraph work in troduced by Mr. Wilde. William Sisto, the Italian comedian, who will rep resent Italy, completes the bill. A lot of Interest has already been evinced In the return of "Experi ence" to Harrisburg, "EJxperlence" where it is booked for the Orpheum Theater for the entire week of March 18. with the regular Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The play, by George V. Hobart, has been known all over the country as "the most won derful play In America," and It would seeai that It had well earned this title, with its phenomenal record of nine, months in New York, and two return engagement since, seven months In Chfcago, five months In Boston and Ave months In Philadel phia. The Messrs. Elliott; Comstock and Gest are bringing to Harrisburg the big New York cast and produc ! tion; the company numbers about ' Hghty people, and the production is ' both massive and magnificent. "Experience" is written after the .style of the old-fashiofted morality plays of 400 years ago. , a nil tells the -tory of Youth nnd hlrt adventures on the Primrose Path, whither he lias I followed Pleasure, having turned his 'back on Ambition and Opportunity when Plea*ur made her fira%M**r EBB A ANDRUS AS FRAILTY, ATTHEORPHEUM wm •' * ' " mm w w f <yt<\ 3t ■>.

"Somewhere in one of his plays. George M. Cohan placed a line that runs: 'No man marries a woman. He is married to her.' That's pretty true when you reason it out," she con tinues. "Not that the man is unwil ling—no, no, Barkus is always willing —but in normal cases you will find that the man proposes only when the girl has made up her mind that he is the one she wants. Then, intuitively, I reckon, she adroitly leads him along to a declaration. Perhaps it is right, too, for the average woman has the hardest part of the average married life. "I truly believe that any average woman can marry any average man she wants, under normal conditions ance. After riotous living, gambling and pleasure-seeking, Youth finds himself penniless and deserted by his fairweather friends. He seeks work and wo 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 little sweetheart in the country. Billie Burke will appear at the Rea gent Theater to-day and to-morrow in her latest Blllle Burke In Paramount pic "Eve's Dnughter" tur e , "Eve's Daughter," from the play by Alicia Ramsay, which was originally produced starring Grace George. It was one of the most successful plays in Broadway last year. It depicts a girl, Irene Simpson-Bates, who chafes at the galling restraint placed on her by her wealthy father, from whom she in herits a strong will, and who, at his death, takes all thq small fortune he left her and squanders it in "one good time." How she is very nearly lured to an elopement and saved by' her old father's lawyer, who has always lov ed her, makes a thrilling story. Miss Burke wears many charming frocks, and has added many new and charm ing touches to her work, always so fuil of "Burkeisms," such as the quickly lifted chin-and birdlike toss of the head, which has endeared her to thousands. The supporting cast, in cluding Thomas Meighan, who will be remembered for his wonderful work in "The I>and of Promise," William Biley, Hatch, Florence Flynn and others, is worthy of being called "all star." "The Eight Within," to be screened to-day and to-morrow at the Victoria Theater, is Mme. Petrova's At the second picture made by her Victoria own producing company. It is a domestic drama done in a scientific, medical atmosphere. Mme. Petrova takes the part of a doc tor's daughter, Who renounces a mar riage for love in favor of one for money In order that she may com plete a scientific discovery her recent ly deceased father had just failed in bringing to fruition. A son is born to the union, died and in his passing so embitters the wealthy husband that he turns against his wife. By con triving meetings for her and her old admirer he seeks to compromise them. Failing in this, he plots the young man's death with disastrous results to himself.

The man't court ship begins when he discovers that he has found favor in the eyes of the girl, who has, probably, only faintly attracted him. Soon he begins to take notice and assumes a self-satislied air —somewhat of proprietorship—but she is letting the courtship go only as she desires it to go. She does the things he likes, gives him food that pleases him, shows herself at her best and develops in his mind the idea that she would make him a pretty fine wife. "As a matter of fact—novels to the contrary notwithstanding there are mighty few out and out proposals of marriage. The youth and maid drift along—guided by the unseen rudder, however, until a time .come# when the matter of their marriage is recognized as being onjy a question of arrangement. They talk over the date, she sets it and a formal engage ment is announced. She has done it all, but you couldn't get one man in a hundred to admit it." Mme. Petrova. Eumsden Hare Is the wealthy husband. The cast includes Clarence Heritage, Evelyn Dumo and a new child star, Freddie Verdi. "Over There" is the title of the pa triotic photodrama which will be shown at the Colo "O-ver There" nial Theater to-day at tlie Colonial and to-morrow. It is enacted by an all-star cast of screen favorites, in cluding Charles Kicliman and Anna Q. Nilsson, and is full of stirring inci dents and thrills. As the title indi cates, the picture deals with the great world-struggle "over there," and the public, is given a chance to see just how things are on the other side of the waters. The theme is dealt with in a big way, and not only creates a great deal of interest, but affords splendid entertainment as well.

Death was caused by tumor of the liver. He was 59 years old. Although he never figured conspi cuously in practical politics and was never a seeker of elective office, Mr. Meyer long held a prominent place in the councils of tho Republican party in Massachusetts, and at one time, during the most active period of his career, he was looked upon as a leader of national prominence. As secretary of the navy, Mr. Mey er was a strong advocate of the plan i to add two battleships a year to the United States naval forces, and spoke bitterly of the Democratic opposition to his program as "a backward step." He brought about many important re forms in the administration of the Navy Department.
