start a laugh, the pretty soldierette chorus, show girls and "pony" d ancers —always with changed, fetchln g costumes—swarm out and over tlio
stage and overflow to over the orchestra seats, too, sometimes, and gaily disporting, singing and dancing keep the pot boiling with fun.

"Hearts of —who are appearing in

of the World" at the
Orpheum to-night. Very few persons
who have visited the war zone have
brought back such vivid and unusual
impressions as those of the Gish girls.
And they found much that was amus
ing as well as tragic, a fact which
lightens their hearts a little when
they are tempted to think only of the
horror of the war as they saw it.
The season's pronounced success,
"My Soldier Girl," a novel musical
comedy, with mili
"My Soldier Girl" tary zest, coming
to the Orpheum
next Wednesday,
matinee and night, presents more
j than the usual score of big novelties
found in plays of this class. "Flirta
tion Walk," an illuminated run-board
extending from the stage, over the or
chestra, to more than half way out in
the auditorium, is probably the one,
of its "intimate" popularity. During
the first two acts the big "pony" bal
let frolic, banter and sing vivaciously,
socially and tunefully, four times, out
on the "walk," and if encores are any
criterion, their returns could be many
times four. Stunning in the extreme
are the costume creations of these
demure little beauties, and who says
he'll like them not, wot's not what he
says.
An ingenious feature in the second
act is an airplane flight. Dixie Har
rison, captain of the aviatrix corps—
at the wheel of a twenty-four feet
tip-to-tip plane—sails away at the
conclusion of a novel ensemble num
ber, the "Dance le Aviation," midst
applause from the much surprised
spectators.
The last act holds the big patriotic
punch awaited by the MOW thoroughly
aroused audience. The dimly lighted
stage gradually discloses a tableaux
setting, "Somewhere in France."
The saxaphone is a reed instru
ment, similar to the clarinet, but not
until of late has the in-
Al. G. Field strument been accorded
Minstrels the prominence in solo
work it deserves. The

saxaphone quintet is very pleasing to
those who appreciate tuneful melo
dies. One of the successes of the
musical part of the Al. G. Field
Greater Minstrels is the Saxaphone
Serenaders.
The musical group are men who
have thoroughly mastered the saxa
phone. All are soloists, und have
been associated with noted bands and
orchestras. Th<# saxaphone serenad
ers, Messrs. Slieppard, Neiser, Jones,
Jordan and Palmers, present not only
a splendid musical repertoire, but a
comedy sketch that is full of fun. It
is a burelsque on modern barber shop
methods.
The saxaphone solos, duets, quar
tets and quintets are the features of
the act and make up a musical bit
that is one of the positive hits of a
program of big hits: Al. G. Field
Greater Minstrels will be at the Or
pheum next week. Thursday night and
Friday, matinee and night.

elaborate scale, entailing a magnifi
cent street parade, diverting vaude
ville features, scenic equipment and
plenty of Jingling melodies and infec
tious humor. It has its own band of
twenty musicians ana travels in its
own private cars, four being used in
carrying the large assortment of ac
cessories employed in the shoAV.

"Private Peat" to Be
Shown at the Regent
The Regent Theater will show Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, what is
said to be the greatest war film ever
presented, Private Harold R. Peat in a
dramatization of his celebrated book.
"Private Peat.'
The story is that of a young man
who lives in a small American vil
lage. lie is a clerk in a small town
store. Filled with indignation when
he reads the stories of llun atroci
ties, he attempts to enlisl, but he is
refused because of lung trouble, lie
tells his troubles to Mary, his sweet
heart, who sympathizes with him.
Finally, by a subterfuge, lie manages
to get into the game. Here it is that
the audience will see the reall thrills
of war. Pictures depicting the front
line trenches are shown and suddenly
there comes the order, "Over the top."
The boys scramhle out of the trenches
advance on the Germans, crush their
lines nnd succeed in driving them out
of the villages.
Hut Private Peat is wounded. He is
taken to a Red Cross station. Here
the audience sees a Hun airplane drop
a bomb on a hospital. Private Peat
is rescued and taken to a base hos
pital, where he lies numb and help
less.
"1 on have a visitor," the nurse tells
him after weeks of helpless waiting.
Mary, his village sweetheart, rushes
into his arms and in several weeks he
is well enough to go back to America.
A thrilling part of the picture is the
finish. As the happy couple stand
looking at the Statue of Liberty Pri
vate Peat expressed the whole thought
of tlie brave men hw- uniform who
make up the American expeditionary
r orces, when he says: "I could never
be proud of fighting in a selfish war,
but I can be proud of lighting in an
unselfish cause."
