* FRIDAY EVENING,
Famous Japanese Star in
Oriental Picture .at Regent
The famous Japanese star. Sessue
Hayakawa. who will be remembered
as the leading actor in pictures that
have recently appeared at the Regent.
"The Bravest Way." "The Honor of
His House." and others, is again ap
pearing in a picture of the first mag
nitude. "The City of Dim Faces." This
picture is showing to-day and to
morrow at the Regent Theater as the
main attraction.
The tragic story of "The City of
Dim Faces" deals with a young Chi
nese-American. a college graduate,
whose father is a Chinese merchant
in San Francisco's Chinatown, and his
mother a white woman. He is ig
norant of the existence of his mother,
who is her husband's prisoner in an
underground den and is hopelessly
demented.
He falls in love with a young wo
man and when she breaks their en
gagement he imprisons her in the
same den in which his mother is con
fined and later sells her to a mar
riage hroker. who in turn places her
upon the auction block, to be sold to
the highest bidder.
It is when he sees the degradation
of the woman he loves, that the white
Wood in his veins asserts itself and
remorse seizes him. He learns that
tile demented woman is his mother,
and when he discovers that he is half
white, he runs to the aid of his sweet
heart, and after a battle, in which he
■s mortallv wounded, he effects her
rescue. His mother's reason returns
'or an instant and she recognizes her
lost son. just HS he dies ftt ner
feet. .
As an added attraction to-day and
'o-morrow. at the Repent. Manager
Magaro has hooked the popular Mack
Bennett comedy. "Indies First. ' This
s no ordinary comedy of the cheap
kind. It is said to he as good as many
■ f the headliners and goes to make
his week-end program as good as
have been booked at this showhouse
for a long time.

Avery Hopwood, master of farce,
ran his own record up with "Fair and
Warmer." the bubbling.
"Fair and hilarious farce which
Warmer" Selwyn and Company will
present at the Orpheum
on Tuesday evening. Mr. Hopwood's
admirers, dating from "Seven Days"
and "Nobody's Widow." two great
successes of former seasons, found in
his latest work the same sparkle of
line and cleverness of characteriza
tion which had graced the others, with
an added ludicrousness of situations.
The scene built around the inexpert
making of a cocktail, puts its audi
ences practically into hysterics.
The long run of the piece, with its
thousands of out-of-town visitors, and
its subsequent record of unparalleled
success wherever it has been seen,
spread the fame of "Fair and
Warmer" all over the country and
created a vigorous demand for it.
Selwyn and Company promise to send
it here with an excellent company of
farceurs.
"Eyes of Youth," the notable New
York success, will be presented at the
Orpheum Theater on
"Eye* of Wednesday, September 25,
Youth" for an engagement of
two nights and Thursday
matinee, direct from a year's run at
the Maxine Elliott Theater, New
York, under the joint direction of A.
H. Woods and the Messrs. Shubert.
The play needs little introduction to
theatergoers. It has achieved a na
tional distinction as one of the con
spicuous metropolitan successes of
last season, and as one of the most
novel and original plays of recent
years. It was written by Max Marein
and Charles Guernon, and is describ
ed as a dramatic fantasy in three
acts and four episodes. It is a visuali
zation of a girl's glimpse into her
own future—a future that is reveal
ed to her through an understanding
of her own heart. The play contains
four of these mystical dream episodes.
Each act begins in the home of "Gina
Ashling," the heroine of the play;
then occurs the transition to the fu
ture episode revealed in a crystal;
then there is a return to her own
home at the end of each episode. The
girl is on the brink of choosing a
career; several alternatives are pre
sented to her. In her dilemma a
Hindu Yogi appears, learns the situa
tion. and reveals to her" the conse
quences of each choice. These revela
tions are visualized, and so the girl is
enabled ultimately to make a happy
choice. These episodes are not only
picturesque and interesting in them
selves. but they are part of a pro
gressive, dramatic narrative, with a
tremendous spiritual significance. A
very effective production has been
provided, and a splendid company,
which includes twenty-five metropoli
tan players, headed by Mabel Brow
nell. A special matinee will be given
on Thursday.
To write a play of* boys and girls
of 17 as they see themselves is a
thing almost new to our
•Seventeen" theater. But such a
play has been wrttten
from " 'Billy Baxter Stories" and
staged with masterly sympathy and
delicacy by Stuart Walker, or it could
not have played eight solid months
this year in New York to capacity
audiences.
"Seventeen" is really a play of
adolescence, in which all the principal
characters are boys and girls at or
about "last year's High school," who
speak for themselves and tell the
stories which are their own, not those
which their parents make up about
them. One would carelessly call the
play a "tragic-comedy." It is not. It
is a tragedy which looks funny to the
outsider.? For the growing youth is
funnv. And the unhappier he is, the
funnier he is. There is no denying it.
The bitterest of his experiences, let
us say in his attempts to learn to
dance under the spell of the little pig
tailed girl who lives around the cor
ner. provide the richest entertain
ment for his elders. "Seventeen" goes
pretty deeply into the sorrows of
youth. Hence it becomes, thanks to
deft authorship, comedy which keeps
its audience chuckling with laughter.
The plot of the play of "youth and
love and summertime" hangs upon
the efforts of William Sylvanus Bax- 1
ter. Jr.. to possess a "dress-suit" that
he 'mav properly woo the "baby-talk
lady." Lola Pratt.
Stuart Walker is sending "Seven
teen" to Harrisburg. where It will be
seen at the Orpheum on Friday even
ing.
When Montague Glass and Jules
Wkert Goodman decided to transfer
the activities of the
"Business celebrated partners.
Before "Abe" Potash and "Maw-
Pleasnre" russ" Perlmutter from
the cloak and suit busi
ness to the more novel and interest
ing world of the movies, the result of
the Inspiration was "Business Before
Pleasure." the great Eltinge Theater
comedv success of the season 1917-
191R which A. H. -Woods will present
at the Orpheum Theater on Saturday.
September 28. for an engagement of
one night only. It is as movie mag
nates in "Business Before Pleasure,
the third and latest of the famous
series of Potash and Perlmutter com
edies that "Abe" Potash and "Maw
rut?" Perlmutter are presented at
their funniest and most whimsical.
The strange and unfamiliar back
ground of the movie world and their
amazing experiences in it bring out
more emphatically than the other two
plavs those quaint and delightful pe
culiarities of speech and conduct that
have made them the two most lovable
and popular creations In the American
theater Their vitality and hold on
popular affection is demonstrated by
•he fact that "Business Before Pleas
ure" proved even more popular and
' amusing than either of of Its two pre-
I decessors —"Potash and Perlmutter"
I anud "Potash and Perlmutter" in So
ciety."
This is the last opportunity patrons
of the Colonial Theater will have of
seein~ Norma
Norma Tnlmadge Talmadge and
in "Her Only Way" Eugene O'Brien
in their latest
select feature, "Her Only Way." It
is a play of laughter and tears.
Those who witness this beautiful pro
duction will not be disappointed, for
it holds out an appeal to old and
young alike. There is not a doubtful
situation in the whole story. Satur
day, only, the attraction will be "The
House of Mirth." a screen version of

A SCENE FROM "EYES OF YOUTH," NEW' YORK SUCCESS WHICH
WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE ORPHEUM THEATER FOR
AN ENGAGEMENT OF TWO NIGHTS AND MATINEE
Gina looks into the crystal and beholds the tragic ending of a loveless
life. At the depth of her misery she sees in the crystal vision Peter, the
man of her choice. The following scene ensues in the street directly in
front of a Broadway lobster palace, whence Peter has just issued with a
merry party. Dick is a plain-clothes man who has been observing Gina
at first with suspicion, then with friendliness:
PETER—Pardon me, but have
| you seen anything of a gold mesh
iiiag? A lady dropped it here.
DICK (showing him the mesh
| bag)—ls this it?
PETER—Yes. that's it.
DICK (to GINA) —Wait a min
ute. (To PETER) I guess she's
: deserving a reward.
• PETER —Of course.
DICK —Be as generous as you
I can.
PETER —Madam, I want to thank
j you, and offer you (Recognizes
i her.) Gina!
1 GINA —I thought you were in
South Africa.
PETER —I have been back for
over a year. I heard about the di
vorce and I asked what became of
you; nobody seemed to be able to
tell me. but I have always hoped
some day to And you.
GINA —Find me? What for?
PETER —Don't you know? Can't
you guess Think back.
GINA —No, no: I don't want to
think back. I don't want to think
back. There your wife's purse;
she'll be anxious about it.
PETER —I'm not married, Gina.
It's just a friend that I took to the
Edith Wharton's celebrated novel.
For this week-end program, Man
ager Magaro has made special efforts
to make it the
Double Attraction best that has been
; at the Regent shown at the Re
gent for some
time. Two strong pictures are being
shown, both in themselves capable of
taking a headline part. In the main
attraction, the famous Japanese star,
Sessue Hayakawa. takes the leading
part in an Oriental story of San Fan
cisco's Chinatown, "The City of Dim
Faces." This is a tragic story and
deals with a young Chinese-American
and a beautiful white girl. There are
many dramatic scenes and many
thrilling moments that make this an
ideal picture.
I Last, but not least, is the Mack
Sennett comedy. "Ladies First," with j
| an all-star cast that is said to be one
of the best Sennett comedies that has
yet been produced.
I Next week, the famous Saturday ■
| Evening Post story, by Mary Roberts!
Rinehart. "The Street of Seven Stars,"
is booked. It will appear Monday and
Tuesday, and features Dorris Ken
yon.
