Charlie has laughter all his own way in "The Im migrant," which Is one of his best. There are plenty of decidedly original stunts In it, all "a le Chaplin."* The Yaliidoim Wire and juggling experts, are these two, getting the most applause by riding first a bi cycle then a unicycle on a stretched wire and at the same time doing juggling feats. Josephine Leonard. This little miss is entertaining enough, but has a few songs which have been heard many times this season at the Ma-' jestic. Her impersonation of Harry Louder singing "It's Nice to Get Up In the Morning, is probably her best offering. "Itnlned In." TVomen who know anything at all about cooking shouldn't miss this farcical skit in which a pretty young woman, who can't cook, is caught in a rainstorm, takes shelter in the hut of a cowboy, and is given the Job of preparing a tneal for a hungry rancher. This Is by far one of the most laughable sketches of the season. Weber and Elliott. After starting with the time-worn audience appear ance. these two comedians do good work and close with some yodeling. "A Jais Nightmare." Far from being nothing but a collection of noisy syncopated music, this offering Rebuilding Health After Any Illness Getting Well Means Gaining Strength—A Wholesome Tonic The getting-well stage of gTip, pneumonia or other illness is the most dangerous of all because the body, weakened by the disease, is wide open to attacks of other lurk ing germs. That is why all the organs of the body must be kept in their best working order, not only to drive out the poison left by the disease, but that the patient shall regain strength as soon as possible to avoid further attacks resulting from the poisons in the system. As a means toward good health after any illness Father John's Medi cine builds up the body because it is all pure, wholesome nourishment and free from opium, morphine, chloroform or other poisonous drugs or alcohol. Father John's Medicine has had sixty years' suc cess for colds and throat troubles, coughs and sore throats, and as a tonic and body builder. Proof: "After an attack of pneumonia the doctor ordered me to give my baby Father John's Medicine and as a result he regained health and strength. I always give it to my children whenever they catch cold. I am writing this to tell you how grateful I am to Father John's Med icine." (Signed) Mrs. Geo. Huns berger, 1054 Pike street, Reading, Pa. Because of its body-building, strength-giving food value. Father John's Medicine is an Ideal family medicine for all who are weak and run-down.

In this amusing picture. Mr. Arbuckle is seen as a revenue officer, who is sent with an assistant to the Blue Ridge Moun tains to wipe out a band of moon shiners. It is broad burlesque. The dramatic element will be pro vided in "The Golden Goal" the storv of a man from the dregs, who. follows a false star'until he realizes It. On the journey, pride, conscience and honor. In turn, are born within him. Harrv Morey. the player, "with fire in his eyes." portrays Doran. Flor ence Deshon, as his false star, has sclendid opportunity to use her emo tional powers. Then there is "The Son of Democ racy." entitled '"President's Answer." featuring Benjamin Ohapin. On ac count of the long program this part of the program will not be shown after 6 p. m, Saturday. William Fox presents Gladys Brock well at the Victoria Theater, today. The play is "Her One Mis. "Her One take." She plays the part Mistake" of two women. Miss Brockell's share In the new drama consists of two ieel which are entirely distinct. But.it is entirely logical that one person should do both parts; however, few actresses would attempt this work, but Miss Brockwell has proved herself an adept in showing two personalities in a single play. You Can Ask This Man Anything Clayton, who styles himself as the "White Mahatma of India," is billed as the feature attraccion at the Ma jestic Theater next week. Clayton is a mysterious Individual, with powers that enable him to answer questions put to him by members of the audi ence.

CIRCUSSTARS HAIL FROM ALL CLIMES Variety Is Keynote in This Season's Program Offered by Ringling Brothers .JKm MAY WIRTH COMING WITH RING LING BROS. Every quarter of the globe has con tributed Its quota to this season's program of Ringling Brothers' circus. From the mammoth spectacle of knighthood and chivalry, "In Days of Old." which opens the program, to the final hippodrome races, there Is little that is not absolutely new and novel. There is May Wirth, Australia's royal rider, and everywhere hailed as the greatest woman equestrian who ever lived. Miss Wirth is assisted by the famous Wirth family. There is Lily Leitzei, the world's greatest aerial gymnast. From Iceland comes The Death Rattle of Austria-Hungary Austria is almost out of the war, as far as military aid is concerned, except perhaps for one more Italian drive, in the estimation of those best qualified to know. This condition seems to be due, judging from dispatches in the Austrian press, to internal political conditions which may at any moment cause a conflagration. The German papers in Austria are very apprehensive, the Grazer Tagespost, for example, telling us that "the south is in flames." There is a striking article in this week's issue of THE LITERARY DIGEST, dated May 25th, made up. of translations from papers in Austria-Hungary, which will be read with interest by Amer cans. It shows, as nothing else could, the state of public opinion in the dual monarchv at the present time. Other articles of importance in this number of THE DIGEST are: Strength of the Opposing Armies on Western Front A Careful Analysis of the Relative Strength of the German Army and the Allied Armies Opposed to It \ Getting the Facts About Aircraft "Enemy Aliens" and the Spy Problem Increased War-Wages For Railroad Men < Pre P ared b * us Burcau of Education > Mr. Hearst's Loyalty (Prepared by the U.
