"THF. SMARTER SET"
A musical comedy bearing the title

offering of "The Smarter Pet" at the
Orphuem next Thursday, matinee and
night. To one merely seeking amuse
ment, the play will be found satisfy
ing. and to others who would inquire
into racial psychology of the negro,
it is more satisfying; it is in the na
t"r a revelation. In "Children
of the Sun,' there is an expression of
thoughts and perspectives that are
negro thoughts and perspectives. It
'? one ,°' the most interesting plavs
that will visit this city this season.
It is funny in the fashion that, is
associated with "darky" "hamor. a'tffi
original and at times very clever, and
all the way through clea'n and with
out courseness.
The singers are natural. It is not
an art that they have to learn, but
a thing that, is born in them. There
are people in the plav with voices that
will almost put to shame singers of
other races. Not in the matter of
training, but in the natural gift of
vocalists.
inn Little and .Tack Hoxie, co
starring in "Lightning Bryee" at the
National Studios, are shooting the
final scenes of the eighth episode, un
de~ the direction of Paul Hurst.
Mary Miles Minter. Director Wil
liam D. Taylor and the entire com

Interesting facts of how- the actors and actresses that one sees in the
current plays entered the theatrical profession is always the subject of much
speculation. Aside from a few favorite stars, whose names are as familiar
as our own. but very little is known of the real personalities of the players
who visit this city week after week.
In "A Little Journey." which appears at the Orpheum Theater on Wed
nesday. October 8, for a matinee and evening performance, are assembled
a score of players who rank among the highest in their chosen profession.
For nearly a year they have played in "A Little Journey" at the Vanderbtlt
Theater, New York, in this brilliant comedy by Rachel Crothers. The greater
number of them have been associated for years with leading successes in the
theater and have appeared in this city time and time again.
Take Cyril Koighliey. who plays the role of Jim West, the big-hearted
open-handed Westerner. Australia, New Zaland, South Africa, Egypt, Eng
land. Canada and the United States know this name which stands for a
finished natural, theatrical art. so typically rendered in "A Little Journey."
"LISTEN I,ESTER" COMIXG
"Listen Lester," John Cort's musical
comedy sensation, which crowded the
Knickerbocker theater in New York
for an entire year will be the attrac
tion at the Orpheum on Friday even- ;
ing. "Listen Lester" has lively tunes (
with rythms strongly marked, a lot.
of snappy, zippy comedy and clever,
dancing, which sends its auditors;
away iu good humor. The story con-]
corns a gay flirtatious widower with j
a prettv daughter, who goes to a'
Palm Beach hotel to escape pusuit of]
a blackmailing manicurist from New,
York, who has a bundle of letters, ny
means of which she expects to extract j
a goodly portion of cash. The at- ]
tempts of the hotel employes, whom;
he enlists in his service, especially a;
burlesque porter, Lester, who is al
ways being told to listen to instruc
tions to steal these letters, furnish
the main portion of the plot.
