MUSICAL COMEDY
IS ENTERTAINING
Tuneful Songs in "Queen of
the Movies" Enjoyed by
Orpheum Audience
Catchy melodies and a gay chorus
for the dances make "The Queen of
the Movies," the musical comedy at
the Orpheum last night and to-day,
an entertaining offering. The action
of the play is novel too, a movie star
ending the efforts of an anti-motion
picture society which is endeavoring
to put an end to the film business.
But the most enjoyable part of
this production is the music. Of the
songs which have a tuneful lift and
make you want to dance are "Slip,
Slip, Slip," first sung by Anne, daugh
ter of Professor Cluttercluck, Inven
tor of artificial food, and her lover.
Baron Victor de Gardennes, a movie
etar; "Oh, Cecelia," by Cecilia, "Queen
of the movies," and Professor Clut
tercluck: "In the Night" by Billy
Hilton, motion picture director and
"Mooching Along." by Cecelia and
the professor. The Baron as a solo
ist made the best impression on the
audience, but with the chorus all of
these songs went over big and
brought applause. Encores followed.
John Relnhard appears as Baron
Victor: Katherine Vanderfriffe as
Anne Cluttercluck. daughter of the
professor's first wife: William J.
McCarthy, as the professor: Aurelia
Collins, Mrs. Cluttercluck the second
wife: Edward M. Favor, Billy Hilton;
Florence Holbrook, Cecelia, who was
appreciated in song parts, and J.
Paul Callan as Bobby Lopp, refused
by Anne.

NEIL O'BRIEN AND HIS GREAT
AMERICAN MINSTRELS AT ORPHEUM MONDAY
The Neil O'Brien Minstrels will be
the attraction at the Orpheum. Mon
day, matinee and night. Mr. O'Brien
himself, recognized as a great black
face comedian, has been surrounded
for the coming season by his man
ager, Oscar F. Hodge, with a company
for whicli a claim is made, that none
more pretentious has ever been gotten
together. It is promised that in addi
tion to some of the old favorites ot
previous years, many new faces will
same place in big Western pictxires as
Hart does to-day. And "Bronco Billy"
is "coming back."
Wednesday and Thursday, Mae Mur
ray will be seen in an up-to-date pic
ture, "A Modern Hove."
William S. Hart, in a gripping six
reel feature, "Thj Bargain," is the
special attraction at the j
At the Victoria Theater for Mon- .
Victoria day and Tuesday. This '
red-blooded tale of the Far
West is full of the features which
make a Hart tilm unique and is sure
to add to the already large army of
Hart enthusiasts in Harrisburg.
"Bill" Hart has come to be known
as Harrisburg's favorite delineator of
the characters of the West.
In addition to the Hart film, an of
ficial government picture called "Our
Bridge of Ships," will be shown at
the Victoria. This film tells in an
accurate and truthful manner the
marvelous way in which America
spanned the ocean miles between us j
and France and landed the Yanks
"over there" to play the deciding fac
tor in the world war.
"The Queen of the Movies," which
has not been seen here since its suc
cessful production
"The Queen of at the Globe Theater,
the Movies" New York, is the at
traction at the Or
plieum to-night. This alluring musi
cal comedy is of international fame.
The book is by Glen MacDonough, the
lyrich by Edward E. Paulton. and
the music by Jean Gilbert. Highly
humorous is the libretto, and truly
brilliant is the score. These facts,
coupled with the assurance that the
cast from its really capable princi
pals, prominent among whictvllatter
are Florence Holbrook and XV. J. Mc-
Carthy, are all popular favorites of
the musical comedy stage.
Neil O'Brien's Minstrels appear at
the Orpheum, Monday, matinee and
night. The ever-increas
il ing popularity of tiiis or-
O'Brlen ganization makes it pos-
Mlnatrela sible to present what is
said to be the greatest as
semblage of minstrel stars ever pre
sented under one title. Despite the
shortage of artists, colors and tex
tures, Manager Oscar F. Hodge has
provided his star with an entire new
production, one of much pretention
and high class in every respect.
Of the first part, which is a dis
tinctive feature of a minstrel perform
ance, the promise is given that it is
rich in its list of comedians and sing
ers. and that a setting has been pro
vided that is the consummation of ex
cellent taste and stagecraft. The
second part of the performance will
consist of all new feature acts, among
which is a new skit for Mr. O'Brien,
written by himself, called "Meatless
Day," and is said to be one of the
most laughable vehicles the comedian
has yet been able to offer. Of course,
there will be a parade and band con
cert. and it is said to be well worth
witnessing.
"Bernard's Darktown Follies" will
be seen in a new edition of Quintard
Miller's wonder show,
"The "Dixie to Broadway," a
Darktown musical comedy revue
Follies" which has won him fame,
at the Orpheum Theater.
Wednesday, matinee and night. Mr.
Miller will be found in the leading
role and has for his support George
Hightower, a popular colored come
dian. and Miss Fanny Wise, a clever
soubrette, also a company of well
known musical comedy players. There
is a chorus of well-drilled girls, who
are conspicuous In the rendition of

tuneful musical ex
travaganza, regally arrayed in cos

imagination. The changes of costume
and scenes or bewildering in their fre
quency and the final picture of the
famous "Joy Zone," at the Panama
Exposition, and illumination of the
"Tower of Jewels" presents as bril
liant a spectacle as anyone could de
sire. Tuneful songs, that will start
your feet going; hilarious dancing, by
people who have forgotten all of their
troubles and look only for the gaie
ties of life; costumes of great splen
dor, presenting a riot of coior and
beauty, all presented by a company of
people who look only upon the gay
aide of life, carry the audience along
until one can almost imagine he is
really on the Joy Zone at the Exposi
tion.
Camp Dix Soldier Boys
Coming to the Orpheum
"You'll Like It" is the title, and you
couldn't help but like it, because Ray
Le Van and Mark Vecchione, two of
our own Harrisburg boys are with the
Bhow.
Tuesday evening, November 26, at
the Orpheum, the boys from Camp
Dix will present their big musical
soldier show, entitled "You'll Like It."
They have been rehearsing for over
a month under the direction of Nor
mnn Hackett, the well-known actor,
who is dramatic director at Camp Dix,
and have been given permission by
the commanding general, Major-Gen
eral Hugh Scott, to favor Harrisburg
theatergoers with the performance.
The production will employ the ser
vices of forty soldiers, and includes a
number of popular song and dance
numbers, a crack drill song and some
i choice ctars from the professional
| and vaudeville ranks.
| Special scenery has been painted
by Robert Law, of New York, and the
I leading role will be taken by Private
William Sully, a Hroadwav favorite,
who has appeared in "Ziegfeld's Fol
lies," and recently with Mitzi, in
"Head Over Heels," at the Cohan
Theater, New York. Other well
known professionals also who will be
seen in the production are: Bert Nor
man and Dick Buttner, whirlwind
dancers; Hector Marlinoft, of the
Pavlowa Russian Dancers; Cornell!,
the famous accordian player; Corporal
Kastner (the man who grows); How
ard Ferris, expert barrel jumper;
Sergeant Israel Dornstein, Louis
Snapper and Jack D. Graff.
There will be a chorus of twenty,
including eight soldier boys made up
as girls, and plenty of snappy comedy
scenes.
The proceeds are to be devoted to
the Boys' Barracks Welfare Fund, and
is deserving of loyal support, for.
while the war may seem to be ended
in the minds of the public, the Army
will be kept In organization for some
time to come and the boys will need
many things in the way of victrolas.

up through the long winter nights.

TROUT GOING OUT
IN BIG NUMBERS
Commissioner Buller Says
This Has Been a Good Bass
and Salmon Season
Indian summer weather has en
abled the state's flsh hatchery men
to make up some of the time lost
through the influenza epidemic which
sent the greater part of the forces
to bed and all but two of the hatch
eries have resumed shipping young
flsh. The shipments will go on as
long as the weather permits.
Commissioner of Fisheries N. R.
Buller, who is Just home from an
inspection trip which included every
hatchery and which was caused by
the Illness which handicaped the
operations, says that he has found
the plants all in good condition and
that considering everything the ship
ments made this fall have been grati
fying. "We shipped a great many
more flsh then we expected," said
he. "The epidemic tied up our work,
but we are getting back to the nor
mal and taking advantage of the
weather. We are sending out trout,
of which we will likely plant a mil
lion and a half this year; bass with
which we have been very successful;
blue-gills and catfish. I think that
we will ship 50,000 young bass, twice
that many cattish and maybe 300,000
blue-gills. The returns received from
the applicants have been very satis

Mr. Buller said that the department
will have a good many flsh held over

will be thousands of trout and bass

Cadillac Policy For 1918-1919
Ij
'V
The Cadillac Motor Car Company announces here
with its policy for 1918-1919.
Prices will be restored at once to the figures which
prevailed before Cadillac production was re
stricted by Government order.
Decreased output resulting from Governmental :L
curtailment necessitated an increase of $3OO
on all Cadillac models.
This $3OO increase is now removed on the entire
Cadillac line—the readjusted prices to be in
effect as of 12 o'clock Midnight, Saturday,
November 16th.
It must be remembered that the Cadillac Motor ;
Car Company has been on an exclusive war
basis, and deliveries will naturally be limited
until the factory is restored to a peace-footing.
The respect in which the Cadillac is held the world
over has been greatly emphasized by its splen
did performance in war service, and by the
further fact that the United States Army has
adopted the Cadillac as its standard seven
passenger car.
Cadillac capacity has always been swiftly ab
sorbed, but, in view of the facts cited above,
prospective buyers will do well to be fore
warned against a demand without a precedent.
We assume that Peace will shortly follow the
signed armistice. In that event the entire
capacity of our factory will be devoted to the
production of Cadillac cars.
In spite of that fact, we do not believe it will be
possible to build, during 1919, all the Cadillac
cars the world will want.

greater part of the state. We have
