Stewart Edward White's greatest
hovel, "The Westerners," which has
lately been adapted
At the Colonial to tha motion picture
screen is now being
shown at the Colonial Theater. This
picture has the reputation of being
the one true story of actual condi
tions in the West. The author was
born and bred in the West, and,
therefore, is in a situation to know.
"The Westerners," as a novel was
one of the most popular books ever
published. As a photoplay it is even
better than the book. If you have
seen the book, now see the location
of the story. This picture will be
shown to-day, to-morrow and Wed-'
nesday only. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday Earie Williams will oe
'Shown in "The Wolf."
An excellent cast of players was
assembled for the various roles in
"The Dark ,Star,"
Chmmbcr'* Story the Paramount-Art
at the Regent Craft Special whicli
will be shown to
dav, to-morrow and Wednesday at
i the Regent Theater At their head
' atararls Marion Davles, beautiful and
talented.
"The Dark Star" is generally re
garded as one of Hubert W Cham
bars' best works. His Ruhannah
Csa-ew. the heroine of this novel is a
yarVMi> child, a child of the Dark
Star, under whose evil influence she
'Was born, and her thrilling adven
tures" as evolved by - Mr. Chambers
arc the acme of dramatic effect. A
girl from a mission in Turkey, a boy
from a New York village, a raven
! haired daughter of Kussia, a way
' ward son of the Caucasus, are all
swept together in a maelstrom of
mystery and intrigue.
"MAYTIME"
Announced as one of the biggest
popular successes yet produced by the
Messrs. Lee and J. J. Shubert, "May
time." a genuine dramatic and musi
cs! novelty, by Rtda Johnson Young,
with music by Sigmund Romberg will
I be seen here for the ilrst tme at the
Orpheurp next Friday and Saturday.
To those who keep posted on the
more important theatrical ervents,
"Mayttme" is by no means an un
known quantity. News of its excep
tional worth as a distinctively "dif
ferent" entertainment has already
traveled far and wide from New York
where it was seen and heard by over
a half million patrons during a rec
ord run that lasted over 15 months
of capacity Broadway audiences.
Chicago, too, for six months riveled
the patronage accorded it in New
York, and Boston playgoers found it
equally delightful. Certain it is that
"Maytime in nowise resembles any
recent musical offering. In fact,
it marks real innovation in the stage
fare All of the scenes are laid on
Manhattan Island and the action
staining cln a Washington Square
garden in 1840, carries on for almost
a century, reachinng its climax in
the uu=y times of to-Gay. The fact
that each of the four eras depicted—
-IS4O, 1855, ISSO and 1918—are accu
rately reproduced as to costumes and
manners make a picturesqueness in
staging "Maytime," that will aelight

HOfIEKT DOWNING
"Here's to you, Tom Moore!" A
drinking song, that the eminent ac
tor-evangelist, Mr. Robert Downing
will sing in the production of "Ten
Nights in a Bar-Room" is one that
has become very popular, once heard,
it rings the ears like "Some old
sweet song." It will be quite a nov
elty to hear this man, who for 25
years has produced and played such
parts as "The Gladiator," "lngomar,"
"Virginius," "Othello," "Marc An
i thony," etc., render this song as "Joe
Morgan," the man who came back.
H's portrayal of this part ranks him
with such men as Joseph Jefferson,
josepn iuurpny, Joe limmett and
others who have made successes of
distinct characterizations.
Mr. Arthur C. Aiston, who is di
recting the company, and the man
ager of Mr. Downing, has left noth
ing undone for a perfect presenta
tion of this very familiar play. The
song, like the play is an old one, and
was first introduced by Mr. Downing
when he created the part of "Hank
Monk' in Joaquin Miller's play of the
West. "Tally-Ho!" There are men
and women to-day, who remember
this song. But to the present gen
eration is a new song. There are
other songs in the play sung by other
members of the company.
Larger Vessels of
Government-Built Fleet
to Be Privately Owned
Washington, Sept. 22.—A mer
chant marine policy contemplating
gradual relinquishment to private
operation of the larger vessels of the
Government-built fleet and immedi
ate sales of the smaller vessels has
been formulated by the executive
committee of the National Mercan
tile Marine Association, it was an
nounced to-day by Edward B. Bur
ling, chairman of the committee.
Recommendations of the committee,
it was said, will be submitted to the
association's council of 45 members
for adoption and presentation to
Congress as a proposed guide in the
enactment of legislation.
Believing that the immediate sale
of all ships to private operators is
"not only undesirable but impracti
cal," the committee recommends
that the large steel vessels be sold
only as the development of private
firms might warrant, with the sale
of such ships confined to American
firms and made at current world
market prices. Immediate disposal
of the smaller vessels is recommend
ed, however, without restriction .as
to purchasers.

EDNA GOODRICH TO-NTGHT
Edna Goodrich, said to be the rich
est actress on the American stage,
will personally appear at the Or
pheum Theater to-night in the gay
French farce, "Sleeping Partners*"
Miss Godrich has appeared here as
leading woman and co-star with Nat
C. Goodwin and her present vehicle
has behind it a record of success in
New York, London and Paris. This is
the only company on tour in this
play and the original production
which was seen at the Bijou Theater
in New York will be used in the cur
rent presentation. It is hardly pos
sible that Miss Goodrich has had a
role more suitable to her than the
French wife in "Sleeping Partners."
With her wonderful beauty and nat
ural vivacity, she posseses all the
charms of the French ladies of our
imagination.
Aside from Miss Goodrich's beauty
she has always been accepted as one
of our best dressed stage women. In
"Sleeping Partners" she wears a
handsome afternoon dress conceived
and executed by Lady Duff Gordon.
The material is of black taffeta and
the style shows the new silhoutte,
the tight waist and the distended
skirt. But as seen in all the new
frocks this fall the skirt has that
daring touch. In the dress worn by
Miss Goodrich there is a rather full
tunic finished by very wide black
lace which falls over the tight under
skirt. With this Miss Goodrich wears
a charming little velvet hat trimmed
with IParadise plumes and a hand
some Russian sable set.
In he second act of "Sleeping Part
ners" Miss Goodrich enters in a most
gorgeous royal ermine coat, made es
pecially for her and valued at over
ten thousand dollars. It is made of
the finest pure white ermine in a
lovely dolman, cape effect. But when
she throws aside the coat and re
veals the evening gown and jewels,
one cannot suppress a gasp of ad
miration. Her gown is of luxuriant
beauty and richness and we are told
was created by Bendll of New York.
It is of a pale green chiffon velvet
with the tight bodice and the wider
c-fTect at the hips." The wide effect
is given the gown by the wida panel
of bright green brocaded satin with
a daring touch of cerise. The panel,
unlike the panels of last season is
draped diagonally from the hip to the
bottom of the skirt at the opposite
side and up the back of the skirt to
meet over the same hip. With these
Miss Goodrich wears some of her
wonderful collection of Jewels. She
wears a beautiful collar composed of
four ropes of diamonds and with this
, a long string of pearls.
EDNA GOOnniCH IN
"SLEEPING PARTNERS"
Beautiful Edna Goodrich and an
excellent supporting company will be
seen at the Orpheum to-night only
in a new comedy from the French of
Sacha Guitry. "Sleeping Partners.*
The same lavish production will be
seen here as originally presented at
the Bijou Theater, New York, where
it enjoyed a run of over seven
months.

of H. W. Neldig, West Fairview, on
Friday night and left it in a wreck

police.
"SMILING ni1.1." PARSONS TO ItKST
"The Blue Bonnett," newest vehicle
in which Billie Rhodes is to star, has

Louis Chaudet. Itis said to be one of
the best in which this star has ap
peared. NVith the completion of the
picture it is announced that she and
her husband, Willam Parsons, will

the Hawaiian Islands. They expect
to be away from Los Angeles about
four weeks. In this same connection

I SKD WIGWAG SIGNALS TO DIBECT
Resourcefulness is one of the prin
cipal attributes of motion picture di
rectors. and pretty nearly all direc
tors have it to a greater or less ex
tent. Director Charles Maigne proved
the other day while filming a scene
of the Irene Castle Paramount-Art
craft production, "The See-Say" that
he possesses it to a marked degree.
Mr. Maigne was staging a scene
which showed an automobile plung
ing over a 400-foot cliff near the
Taughannock Falls in Ithaca. N. Y„
said to be the highest falls east of
the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Maigne
had five cameras stationed at vari
ous points and distances to record all
phases of the car's plunge over the
cliff. After planning his camera
points, however. Mr. Maigne found
that the roar of the waterfall would
prevent his voice from being heard
by the different cameramen.
Then he discovered that three of
his cameramen had just been mus
tered out of the Signal Corps of the
United States Army, and were fa
miliar with the semaphore signal sys
tem in use in the Army. Immediately
he went to Colonel F. A. Barton,
commander of the military training
section of Cornell University, and bor
rowed three regular Army non-com
missioned officers. From another mo
tion picture company he borrowed
two cameramen who had Just been
discharged from the Army, and then
proceeded to shoot the scenes, the
cameramen and their assistants car
rying on conversation and receiving
instructions by means of wigwag
signals."
