A Happy Bellevue Park Home—Own One
Buy the Lot—Your House Soon Follows
A home of your own! What a joyous feeling comes over the
worker in the mill, factory or store as he approaches the house he
owns.
Here—the one spot on this great earth dearest and sweetest to
him. Here—his boys and girls have room to expand, room to tussle
ail tumble on their own grass plot. And here—his own yard where
flowers oloom and vegetables spring into being. Here his good wife
satisfies a love and longing for old-fashioned flowers and the grass
that he has planted seems to grow greener than grass ever grew be
fore.
At eventide when the sun is setting, and the long shadows fall,
the whole family gathers on the roomy porch, with scent of honey
suckle and the good-night chirp of the robin emphasizing the joy of
it all.
This is true of all suburban sections where the breezes blow
and flowers bloom, but it is especially so of Bellevue Park with its
many advantages and attractions for the man who would own his

"Dailily long Lena" Bong Legs" at

! The picture is adapted from the

] same name. Miss Pickford plays the

great prune strike.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
the Victoria management is offering I
Anita Stewart, one of Harrisbtirg's '
best-liked motion picture actresses in ,
"Two Women," a play everyone will |
want to see.
This will be the last dav of the
Paramount-Artcraft Special "The i
White Heath- |
"The White Heuther" er" at the j
nt the Urgent Regent Thea- I
ter. It is the j
remarkable picture with many un- |
\ dersea scenes, which has been as- J
| tounding Harrisburg audiences for ;
the past two days.
Photographically, the picture is
superb. Many of the exterior scenes I
have brought forth applause from the '
audiences, and the spectator finds 1
genuine thrills in the fight between
the villain and the hero on the ocean i
bottom. As an added feature. The
Paramount-Flagg Comedy, "The Im- I
movable Guest," is on the Regent's i
program.
Saturday night is an excellent time I
to pay a visit to the Paxtang Park ,
theater and see the I
The Bill vaudeville show. The j
at PnxtxAig park theater, it is
claimed, offers a first- !
class bill this week with Abe and 1
Nicholson as the feature attraction. !
This pair of comedians present an i
excellent musical act with a lot of I
up-to-date comedy sandwiched in be
tween the numbers.
John Devlin, a monologist, with' a '
great line of Irish stories and songs. !
has been making a great hit with the
park audiences all week. The other 1
acts on the bill are all good and the I
whole taken together makes a fine j
evening's entertainment.
When Irving Berlin's international |
syncopated musical success, '"Watch i
Your Step"
"Wateli Yotir Step" comes to the '
Orpheum next;
Friday night it will be found a danc- i
ing show as its title implies. The j
story begins in a lawyers ofllee where j
dancing is found to be the feature of
the day's work and participated in |
i freely by all of the people belonging ;
| thereto and the visitors within the ;
I gates. The stenographers, the clients i
and the lawyers of the firm dance a ■
bit before and after taking evidence I
or reading a will. After getting used |
to the idea it seems perfectly all right I
for the songs and arguments, prome- 1
nades and poses, all going around and I
trotting across to the right, and to
the left.
When "Come Along," the musical ]
comedy in which Harry Bulger,
Broadway's favor-
What Critics Said ite comedian, Is to
1 of Hurry Bulger to be seen at the
Orpheum, to-day
matinee and night, was presented at
! the Nora Bayes Theater, in New
; York, the newspaper critics were of
i fusive in their praise of it. Burns
Mantle, of the Evening Mail, said:
"It should last an entire season on
Broadway."
Frank Pope, of the Journal of Com
merce, wrote: "This is a genuine hit.
Bulger is a scream. Don't miss this
show."
Charles Darnton, of the Evening
World, wrote: "Good music, good
comedy, an extremely funny comed
ian and pretty girls go to make
I 'Come Along' a genuine winner."
! George Kaufman, in the Times,
wrote as follows: "This attraction is
I one that merits capacity business for
un entire season. A real musical
comedy has at last hit Broadway."
The critic of the Sun wrote: "Harry
Bulger will make you laugh no mat
ter whether you \--nt to or not. He
keeps his audience in a roar. If
you're downhearted see "Come
Along."
John McMahon wrote in the Ameri
can: "You'd better get your tickets
early if you expect to see Harry Bul
; ger in 'Come Along.' There will be a
long line at the box ofllee every
night. It is some show."
"Kiss Me Again," the newest of j
Frederick V. Bowers' musical offer
ings will be pre-
Frrd Bowers In sented at the
"Kl* Me Again" Orpheum next
Thursday, matinee
and night, with a cast of thirty-live,
& charm of youth and beauty, and
the scenic equipment provided for
the New York engagement. Book
and lyrics are by Walter Hemming
way and Arthur J. Lamb, and the
music score by Mr. Bowers himself.
LINCOLN'S FAMILY THEE
Elmo Lincoln, the serial star, pro
claimed by many to be the most per
fect specimen of physical hanhood
in the world, is constantly pestered
by admirers who want to know
whether or not he can trace his
family to the great Abraham Lin
coln. To appease the curiosity of
the inquirers Elmo, the mighty, who
is now at work at Universal City,
supplies them with this answer:
"Yes, indeed, I can trace my family
to Abraham Lincoln. • You have heard
of thut son "We're Coming Father
Abraham, Fifty Thousand Strong,'
well that strong part applied to
to my end of the family. In all
seriousness, however, my great
I uncle's half sister's cousin's niece
was related by marriage to the
famous woman whose eldest son's lit
tle brother's aunt married that dis
tinguished gentleman whose broth
er had a dog that once fell in Abra
ham Lincoln's cistern in Springlield,
111."
One of the important factors in the
production of the Paramount-Briggs
Comedies, which are based on the
stories told in the cartoons of Clare
A. Briggs in the New Y'ork Tribune,
is Mrs. Briggs.
Mrs. Briggs assists her husband In
the writing ct scenarios and the sub
titles of the comedies and also in de
vising the bits of characteristic
Briggs atmosphere which forms such
an important element in the pictures.
Since she und Mr. Briggs became
engaged, years ago. in Lincoln, Neb.,
Mrs. Briggs has taken an active in
terest in her husband's work. In
deed, Mr. Briggs declares that it was
his wife who suggested to him that
he ought to draw "boy stuff" for his
cartoons. So familiar is she with
his style of work and what he ex
presses in his drawings that she is an
invaluable help to John William Kel
lette, dirintor of the Paramount-
Briggs Comedies, in plotting situa
tions and bits of business for tho
comedies.

Street Evangelical Church, will

PIE-PROOF
A senator said in the course of an
argument:
"The proof of that fact is overwhelm
ing. It's pie proof, in a word."
He went on:
"A man entered a lunch joint, took a
piece of custard pie, and sat down in
his chair with it when ho remembered
that he wanted coffee.
So lie ran over to the coffee urns .and
when he came back again his chair was
occupied.
•That's my chair,' he said politely
to the occupant.
How do you know its your chair?'
the occupant growled.
!! ; Bccause * can prove it.'
" 'Oh, how can you prove it?"
" 'By my pie—my custard pie. You're
sitting on it.' " —Washington Star.
