10 "SEVENTEEN" IS PLEASING PLAY Audience at Orpheum Enjoys Dramatization of Booth Tarkington's Story Dramatized, Booth Tarkington's appealing story of youth, "Seven teen,"is decidedly one of the most enjoyable plays on the stage now. The audience at the Orpheum last night found much that was pleasing, applauded all the scenes and had plently of amusement afforded them in the presentation of the Tarkington characters. Produced by a capable cast the story has lus. none of its sparkling humor, so cleverly developed by Tarkington in the form of actions and conversations of boys and girls at the age of "seventeen." Every few minutes there would be a ripple of laughter sometimes only in short chuckes showing the appreciation of the listeners and then again break ing out in an uproarious gale of mirth as one of the youthful Tarkington heroes would go into a lengthy dis course on the importance of having a full dress suit, on love or on a man's marital duties. Splendidly arranged, the action of the play affords numerous oppor tunities for the most humorous sit uations and these were so naturally brought out that one could not help hut enjoy the entire play. The story ends contrary to the usual time-hon ored custom and instead of care fully arranging to have them live happily ever after the author sends Use McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv.

It Is pretty safe to say the rest of the country will follow suit. "The Naughty Wife," a farce by Fred Jackson, which will be seen at the Orpheum Theater on Wednesday, October 2. for a inatinee and night, was originally presented in New York. After an engagement lasting months there, it went to Boston and played a limited engagement to absolute capacity. The Chicago engagement followed, and it is claimed critics and audienceß in the three cities agreed that it was the funniest show seen in each of those cities during the entire year. It is now on tour, with an excellent cast and production, and the Joint verdict of its first three Judges is being upheld wherever it is seen. "The Naughty Wife" comes here exactly as presented during its long metropolitan engagement. The farce is one continuous laugh, inspired both by its dialogue, which is delightfully snappy, and its situations, which are unique. traction again to-day at the Colonial, and this is your "The Turn of last opportunity to the Wheel" ~enJoy it. The story at the Colonial is of a beautiful woman who stak ed her all on love and won. Monday and Tuesday, the dainty, winsome and appealing star, Mae Marsh, will lie seen in her latest picture. "Money Mad." How crime, committed for the almighty dollar, was avenged by a pretty girl.

The name of this comedy is "Her Screen Idol," featuring Ford Sterling, and supported by the Mack Sennett Beauty Chorus. It is said to be a regular side-buster from start to finish. In the main feature, dainty Vivian Martin plays the important role in "Vivtette." This is an exceptionally strong picture with many dramatic and comic scenes. It is the story of a girl with three lovers, and she isn't sure which one she wants. It finally winds up with a duel to see who gets the girl. Every scene is played in all earnestness, and it makes a splendid picture. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, "Till I Come Back to You," the great Cecil B. DeMille production, showing the terrible atrocities of the Hun, in which King Albert, of Belgium, is shown, is the feature at the Regent. * 3 Mae Murray, in a strong story of Bohemian stage life and its many temptations, is Mae Murray In seen again to-day "Her Body in Bond" at the Victoria Theater in "Her Body in Bond." It played yesterday to large crowds. The picture portrays the extrenie lengths to which one woman was will ing to go to save the life of her hus hand. Fortunately, however, a trick of Fate prevents her from taking the step she feared was the only one pos sible to restore her husband to health, even though it meant her own dis grace. „ To-day we also show Marie Dressier in the screaming comedy, "The Croaa Red Nurse." First Farrar Picture Modern and Thrilling Geraldinr Farrar made her first local appearance in "The Turn of tha Wheel," by Tex Charwate, at the Co lonial yesterday. The international celebrity has a role of her own choosing, which means that "The Turn of the Wheel" is a play of to day, the star having announced that she means to appear only in modern roles.

DEVASTATION OF BELGIUM SHOWN Big Picture at the Regent Gives Graphic Story Jn the superb spectacle produced by Cecil B, DeMllle, "Till 1 Come Back to You," showing at the Regent Theater the first three days of next week, the terrible atrocities of tho Huns in their invasion of Belgium In the gruelling duj'H of 1014 is graphically shown. That the Germans were preparing for thin fight long before the first ulti matum was sent out. Is shown in the fact that the merchants of the various countries, especially Belgium, who were of German nationality, were there simply as German spies and car rying out the German propaganda. In this story Karl Von KuYtz is the merchant that draws particular atten tion. He is in reality a German spy, who had married a Belgian girl in order to further his own plans. One morning his wife finds n roughly traced map of Belgium, which her husband had left lying on a table. She the suspects the truth and shortly afterwards, when the Germans invade Belgium, Von Kurtz leaves with them. King Albert, during the retreat of the Belgians, stops at this cottage, where he finds the brother and wife of tills German spy playing the game of beating the Hun. He tells this man to be brave and to wait "Till I come hack to you." America enters the war, and Cap tain Jefferson Strong, an officer of the American Engineers, is detailed to destroy tanks of liquid gas, which the Germans proposed to use against the Allies. Crossing the German lines, he reaches the cottage of Von Kurtz, and he immediately starts in tunneling towards this storage of liquid gas. Von Kurtz returns about this time, finds Strong telephoning, destroys the In strument and a desperate battle en sues. Von Kurtz* wife, to escape the brutality of her husband. takes a number of Betgian orphans Into the tunnel that had been dug to this liquid gas. Just at the hour for the explo sion to take place. Captain Strong, learning that these children were in the tunnel, cuts the wire* that would sgt off the tons of liquid fire. He is arested by the military authorities for disobedience and but for the inter ference of King Albert, of Belgium, would have been shot. It is a graphic story from start to finish, and Just at this time, when the center of America's activities is di rected towards the Belgium sufferers, it is a picture that everyone should see.—Advertisement.
