It has often been proven that to
have a successful play it must pos
sess heart interest,
"Ten Nights in comedy and pathos,
n Barroom" Without these no
star can make a
Play successful, but witli this combi
nation. and a good scenic production
success is generally secured, fluch is
the combination in Arthur C. Ainston's
big production of "Ten Nights in a
Barroom," with Robert 1,. Downing in
the part of "Joe Morgan," the "drunk
ard," is playing at the Orpheum to
day.
A new and unique "Hamlet" will be
introduced to our playgoers at the
Orpheum
A Different "Hamlet" Theater on
Monday, April
7. when Walter Hampden appears as
the Danish Prince, supported by the
company which helped him make an
almost sensational success of his
matinee and morning performances of
the Shakespeare drama at the
Plymouth Theater, New York, all the
Winter. There will be a matinee.
This young actor lias had praise, be
stowed upon him for his 'Hamlet
surh us has not been given any other
man since the heyday of Edwin Booth.
Not one, but many, old metropolitan
critics and playgoers, who have seen
every "Hamlet" of the Inst forty
years, declare that Mr. Hampden's
stands next to Mr. Booth's, and many
there are- who do not hesitate to say
that it is the superior performance,
both in conception and execution.
Supporting Mr. Hampden are those
excellent legitimate artists, Albert
Jlruning, as "Polonlous;" Mabel Moore,
as "Ophelia;" Mary Hall. as. the
"Queen;" Ernest Rowan, as the

The Hlark visitor to ltarrisburig
Devil Hand next Wednesday, April
9, at which time he will
conduct two concerts at the Orpheum
Theater. His Black Devil Band, sev
enty strong, is just back from over
seas, where it created a genuine sen
sation wherever it played. This or
ganization is the official band of the
Three Hundred and Fiftieth Field Ar
tillery Regiment, which was intrench
ed before Metz, where the Germans
gave them the name of the "Kcliwurz,
Teufels" (Black Devils), and the. band
still retains that cognomen. Lieuten
ant J. Tim Brymn began drilling his
big hand before they went overseas,
ind when France was reached, the or
ganization was in a high state of ef
ficiency. General l'ershing ordered
the tiand to make a tour of the en
tire front, for it is known that music
lias more to do with sustaining the
morale of the soldiers than almost
any other medium. After this tour,
the hand went into camp, and partook
of the: actual fighting, which, to say
the least, was tierce. When Presi
''.V n f . Wilson visited France last
i hristmas time, he expressed a desire
to hear the Black Devil Band, and
when they played for his entertain

For Next Week
High above No Man's Land in
France came the man who gave hat
tie to the Huns single-handed. He
fought until wounded, then he was
obliged to land on the enemy s soil,
where, In the garb of a German of
ficer and aided by American pluck,
he made his way among the enemies
and during the hours which passed he
held his life in his hands and matched
his true-born American grit against
German treachery—until he came up
on the most beautful girl he had ® vcr
seen, an American, a guest in the Ger
man home of the Countess of Mo
ravia. , _
It was during their second meeting
that the two identities of these young
persons was truly made to each other.
She was Miss Edith Day and lie was
Lieutenant Bert Hall, of the famous
Lafayette liscadrille. And the ro
mance that had its beginning way
back in the U. S. A. was now renewed
in the land of the enemy.
How they succeeded in outwitting
the Hun is graphically told in the
super-serial six-reel feature A.. R °"
mance of the Air." which will be
shown at the Victoria Theater Mon
day and Tuesday. .. T ,
sergeant Walter Shaffer, the laifay
ette liter, will personally appear at
each performance and give, a short
talk before the picture about tho
great organization of Americans zliq
fought in the air for the I-rench.
The Aviation Quartet of tecreeant
Roberts will render the songs thai
were woven around the great war.
