This will be Harrisburg's last op

months as he will shortly go on a
Chautauqua circuit for the summer

throughout Central Pennsylvania
towns, being greeted most enthusi

interesting account of his experiences?

Brymn does not omit the classics
from l>is programs, however, and he
is especially partial to Dyvorak's
I "New World Symphony," in which
that gl-cat composer has inserted bits
|of negro folk songs, some of whiMi
contain a suggestion of jazz. Other
standard compositions on the pro-
I gram of the Black Devil Band are
Ihe William Tell overture, the Faust
Fantasia, and numbers from Grieg's
Peer Gynt Suite. One of the favorite,
selections which the 350 th Field Ar
tillery Blind enjoyed rehearsing while
in the trenches before Metz, were
excerpts from Wagner's Lohengrin.
Probably the lieutenant bandmaster
knew that Wagner was exiled by the
Germans long before his death. Not

The colossal religious spectacle, |
"The Wanderer," which will be seen
at the Orpheum for a.
The Wanderer three-day engagement i
commencing Thursday, j
has proven the biggest sensation in '
years.
"The Wanderer" follows the Bibli- ;
cal story of the Prodigal Son very j
closely, the moral of which can be
said to be greatly accentuated by this !
stage presentation, livery advantage]
for scenic and costumic effect has
been seized. The lirst and third acts,
which show the patriarchal home of j
the kindly, godly father of the way
ward youth, will live long in the
memory of ail beholders, for seldoml
has a more beautiful, serene stage j
picture been displayed. When the t
large herd of real, live sheep and ;
dogs, accompanied by the shepherds. |
eome romping down the hillside, one
does not have to be told that David I
Belaseo slaged "The Wanderer." Here,
is a touch of color and atmosphere!
which no other stage director could
even approach.
Tile scene which lias caused the
most discussion is the second act
which represents the house of the
wanton. Tisha, who leads the Prodi
gal to his ruin, even tempting him to
r< nounce the God of his fathers. Hen
there Is a swirl of life, a wealth of
Oriental splendor. a bewildering
grouping of myriads of dancing girls
and slaves that fairly intoxicate the
I senses. The scene beggars descrip
tion. And the superb acting of one
of the most remarkable casts ever
brought here could not be adequately
praised in columns.
Captain F.ddie Riekenbaeker, Amer

he will doubtless regule a large audi-I
fence with the details of his marvelous I
'exploits, as commander of the il4th>
I Aero Pursuit Squadron. During his |
talk the stereoptican and moving pie-j
tines will play an important part in I
picturing some of the most thrilling
scenes in which this daring flier par
ticipated.
Regarding Captain Rickenbacker's
service to his country, Secretary of
War Baker said: "He wrote notice
of America's presence in France across
the clouds where the Germans could
lead it. He and his associates in
the air nnd on the land hastened the
ultimate victory of the allied forces."

"The Wanderer" cornea to the Orpheum for a three-day engagement,
starting Thursday. Prominent among the well known players are Fred
crick Lewis, Florence Aner, Richard Thornton, Olga. Newton, Henry Dug
gan. Louise Orth. .Mabel Montgomery, Franeesca Karmenova and'a host
of others.
"The Wanderer" is based upon the Biblical parable of the Prodigal
Son. Maurice V. Samuels wrote it, William l.'lliott, F. Rav Comstoek and
Morris Gest produced it, and the master-genius of the theater, David P.e
lasco, staged it. Its success wherever shown has been unprecedented.
During its engagement at the Manhattan Opera House it ran through
two seasons, and in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and elsewhere it his
had long and prosperous runs.

Just at present the world seems to he jazz mad. and Lieutenant .7.

ated a veritable sensation overseas. The Black Devil Band Is a portion of
the ir.Oth Field Artillery Regiment, which saw active service in the
i trenches before Metz. Just as the armistice was signed, they were prc-
I paring for the Itrst inslaught on this German stronghold. Upon the
return to the United States of the regiment,, the hand secured its dis
| charge, and opened its season at the huge (Academy of Music in Phila
delphia last week. They tilled the building to its capacity and aroused
j quirt old Philly to an enthusiasm such as it seldom shows for any kind
of an entertainment.
Many of the most expressive
phrases of to-day have been derived
from popular plays.
