One of the finest bills of the season j
Js appearing at the Majestic the early 1
part of this week. Wei- |
Vine Hill lington and Silvia
al Majestic start things going with I
their fast juggling '
novelty, and are followed by Millard
and Marlin, a very clever young :
couple in a pleasing song and comedy
skit. The act is full of good laughs,
and their singing is splendid. The
headliner is Frank Stafford and Com- 1
pany. presenting a comedy sketch en- I
titled "A Hunter's Game." This is one
of the cleverest little acts ever offered
to local vaudeville devotees, and is re
plete with good, wholesome comedy. |
The stage setting alone brings forth j
an outburst of applause, showing a !
nook in the Adirondacks, near a sum- !
mer hotel. Dltzel and Carroll keep j
the audience in constant laughter
with their bunch of nonsense. They i
are the comedy hit of the show. The
Sig Franz Troupe, an aggregation of'
clever bicyclists, complete the bill.
"The Count and the Maid." a minia- i
ture musical comedy offering with ten .
people, is the big feature scheduled '
for appearance the last three days of i
Jhe week. Grouped around this at- j
traction are: Frazer, Bunce and
Hardy, a trio of singing comedians: '
Robert Hyman. the well-known stock
favorite, assisted by a capable com
pany in a clever comedy sketch: De- j
lisle and Johnson, two girls in a com- j
edy singing offering, and Juno Salmo. .
the Daredevil pandy.
The mysterious Thurston, with a
new program of mysteries, will be the i
attraction at the Or- i
Thurston. pheum. Friday night 1
the Magician and Saturday, mati
nee and night. Ala
gleians in the past have depended i
much on their Satanic attire for their
effectiveness. Thurston T? by no ;
means that sort of a performer, the
air of mystery that pervades during 1
his performance has a pleasing ab
sence of anything like a tremor down I
the spine, and is conceded to be !
mighty interesting to both old and j
young. With each passing year
Thurston grows in popularity, and
each visit he makes shows new de- j
velopment of original ideas and added j
dexterity in execution. His scenery,
draperies and costumes are said to I
be all new and gorgeous, and repre
sent a small fortune, and with his j

Von, the "Show of i

noted amusement institution. Critics ;
I ; say that a cast of more than usual'
magnitude has been selected by the
i Messrs. Shubert to make this attrac
tion one of the best acted and sung

i is a chorus of rare charm and beauty.
' who can also sing and dance. Fifteen j
colossal scenes have been provided
! for the entertainment, and they rival I
an Oriental pageant in their regal
splendor. One of them, called "Over
the Top." is a marvellous patriotic
effect, designed and written by Liu
coln .1. Carter, famous for this sort
of stage material in the old days of
melodrama. This one is said to be
his masterpiece.

Mahel Taliaferro and to-morrow, i
In "Drnft Jf.VS" Mabel Taliaferro, i
one of the most ;
'charming and distinguished actresses |
;on the American stage to-day, plays
jthe role of Mary Alden, a shop girl. I '
'Mary is a real patriot, inheriting a
| courageous nature from her father.,
who was killed at the battle of San |
| Juan Hill, and from her mother, who
' reveres his memory. Roth of Marv's
( brothers George and Matthew—are
lacking in genuine patriotism. Her
I sweetheart. John Graham iplayed by
, Walter Miller), is a manly chap anil
I enlists at the first call for volunteers.!
| George is called in the draft, but he j
| refuses to go before the local draft !
! board for his examination. Mary, deep- I
! ly chagrined, takes his papers herself
;to the draft board and offers to go ;
in his place, as women in Russia have j ,
S done. While the board cannot acept .
I her courageous offer, her bravery and I
I spirit arouse the latent manhood in j
mwi of the men present, who have I
: been trying to claim exemption on ;
! different grounds. Her enthusiasm!
causes one young man, who has mar- J
ried to escape the draft, to exclaim. |
"1 know I'm yellow, but if you'll take I
jme now I'll make good." Finally. |
'George becomes imbued with the same i
spirit of service, to the great joy and 1
i pride of Mary and her mother. Critics
say that in the scenes at the local J
draft hoard rooms, the star's charm- 1
| ing personality shines forth with un- |
usual fascination and radiance, and
her spirit of patriotism is contagious.

outlined in Cecil B. DeMille's special j
production for Artcraft, "The Whis- |
; pering Chorus." which will be pre- >
i seated at the Regent Theater to-day
: for the last time.
I Dainty Marguerite Clark, whose |
i "Bab" pictures are well remembered, I
i has a new vehicle. "Rich Man. Poor 1 (
Man," which will he shown to-nior- j
' row, Wriday and Saturday. This is i
] reported to be a splendid screen sub-I
.feet, filled with tense dramatic situa- >
tions by the aid of which an absorb
nig dramatic story is developed. Tt !
! is one of the best photoplays in which i
Miss Clark, the "sweetest girl in mo-j
i tion pictures." lias been seen in this
|eity, and it seems certain tiiat her j
many admirers here will turn out in ,
! force at the opening display. Miss j
Clark is splendidly supported by ai
large array of line screen players. > i
j chief among whom are: Frederick:,
j Warde. the famous tragedian : Richard ;
i Barthclmess. Mary Davis. Ottola Ne

jsaid by reviewers to be the best pie

'This feature signalizes the tirst ap- I
| pearance of William Parke as Mrs. j
, Castle's director, and the excellence
of the picture furnishes ample proof j
jof his intelligent and artistic work
manship.
' Theater patrons will receive a sur- |
j prise when they see the role which ,
Mrs. Castle has at the beginning of ,
i the story. It is that of a convict, sent
to prison for another's fault. How

Yankee Soldier Kills Seven
Before He Is Overwhelmed
Washington. April -'4. —Here is j
the story of a fighting American
soldier, son 6f "Doctors David, near j
Cleo, S. C." He was "overwhelmed |
by the Boches. but he had a pile of!
human flesh in front of him," ac- i
cording to a cablegram from the;
soldier son of Internal Revenue j
i Commissioner Roper. He fought!
like a tiger, accounted for seven!
Boches with his pistol and then was 1
j fighting with an empty rifle when
j struck from behind."
Roper's son said, "Your faith is
' well placed in the American sol
i diers. They have the endurance of
\ the English, the charge of the
i French, and the pep that belongs to
| Americans alone."
Young Roper reported the num
ber of men "killed through their
own carelessness and recklessness"
is surprising. He mentions a friend
who died that way. He then spoke
of the son of Doctor David, "who
met a different death—a glorious
one —it was necessary."
Japan's Foreign Minister,
Viscount Motono, Resigns
By Associated Press
London, April 14. —Viscount Mo
-1 tono, Japanese Minister For Foreign
Affairs, has resigned, says Reuter's
! dispatch from Tokyo.
The question of Japanese interven
tion. in Siberia probably led to the
withdrawal of Viscount Ichiro Motono
from the foreign ministry, of which
he had been the head since Novem
i ber, . 1916, when Count Terauchi
formed the present cabinet. There
l have been reports recently that
Viscount Motono might resign in con
nection with the Siberian situation,
j but explanations of such a possibil
j ity were scanty.

Swiss Minister Justifies
Internment of Dr. Muck
\Yiihington, April 24. The Swiss J
Government has decided not to press |
its claim of-Swiss citizenship for Dr. |
Karl Muck, formerly leader of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, now in
terned at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., as a
dangerous German. This eliminates
all danger of complications with
Switzerland over the case.
The Swiss Minister, Hans Sulzer,
after examining records of the De
partment of Justice concerning Dr.
Muck, feels satisfied, it was said to- |
day, that Muck had repeatedly claim
ed German citizenship and that con
sequently the United States was justi
fied in interning him.

| tives will accomplish what it has
