Intensely pathetic scenes and situa-1 . tions that grip the heart. e Harry Beresford. as Cobb's famous character. "Peep O'Day." the lovable _ old man. was enthusiastically re a oeived by the New York theatergoers, e and the critics were astonishingly - laudatory in their commendations ol his work. e "Boys Will Be Boys" is not a mu r sical comedy, as the title might limply. It is a comedy of rural scenes and homelike people in which Irvin S. Cobb's well known gift for charae- I terization has been given full play I 3 and in which nil his famous charac r ters are brought to life. 1,1 The scenes are laid in the southern i! mountains, where quaint characters ej abound, and the story is of an old * man. who, brought up as a boy in the 1 County Poor House, has passed his entire life to the age of sixty, doing chores for a bare existence. He never had any boyhood, never saw a circus. -.yet has always had a boy's heart. He 11 has longed for the joys and pleasures of boyhood and at last, at the age of fj sixty, an unexpected legacy from a 11 distant relative provides an oppor tunity for the fulfillment of his dreams and he becomes a veal boy at | sixty and finds his enjoyment in I making the kids of the little village - happy. The unscrupulous lawyer endeavor-, I j ing to obtain control of the money i; through efforts to have old "Peep O'Day" declared incompetent and not t of sound mind, provides an abundance • • lof comedy and pathos. II FRANK FAY'S METHODS Although still in his early twenties, Frank Fay, comedian in "Oh! What a 11 Girl," which will be the attraction at ' ! the Orpheum Theater Thursday of ] I next week, has an enviable record as ;; I] an aetor and funmaker. He is not a >1 character comedian and has never ' 11 appeared on the stage In any char iacter except as "himself." In vaude ville Mr. Fay has toured all of the [, I principal cities in the I'nited States ' land Canada, and has appeared as a ! * i headliner in al! of the Keith and Or- • ■ pheum circuit houses. His style is I' one he originated himself. He is the •j creator of the affected type of young 11 man and early in his career adopted j . I the wrist watch style of stage imp|r- • • sonations. which he was the first of :;all comedians to present. In "Oh! What a Girl." Mr. Fay has ■'an excellent opportunity of demon- < i strating his peculiar ability as a ' laugh maker. In' presents a picture j Afew Farrar Picture Next Week In the making of modern photo plays great expenditures are now very frequent. Some producers feel justified in them Holding that big pic tures are what the public wants. Geraldine Farrar. who will appear at the Regent Theater the first four days of next week in "Flame of the Desert." is one of the stars who is now appearing in productions of an ultra lavish nature. While her new picture is said to be more costly than any of its predeces sors. it seems ridiculous to name one item in its cost. Amid the grandeur of scenery and the temporary palaces and expensive gowns, to say that the rugs used in making the photoplay i cost $211,000 seems like a drop in the bucket, but that amount, it is claimed, was spent for one item. Many other thousands were spent, and the public has already registered its delight in other cities by heartily endorsing this great production. Likely. Harrisburgers will do the same thing. of happy. Joyous youth, to whom troubles are nothing but suggestions lor laughs. He has a mass of red hair and an impudent srr.ile which reminds one of Mark Twain's Huckle berry Finn. MAJESTIC BILL PLEASES The bill at the Majestic Theater the last half of this week is exceptional throughout. Every act is claimed to he excellent and the members of these acts were forced to take as many as four encores each at the matinee yesterday afternoon. The first episode of "The Black Secret." Pearl Ythites last starring serial, is being shown. The Four Dancing De mons open the vaudeville hill and show one of the fastest dancing acts Harrisburg vaudeville devotees have bad the privilege of seeing for some time. Mullen and Francis come in for a generous share of laughs and applause with their versatile comedv skit, r lsk and Lloyd present a song and comedy sketch. These with two other Keith acts complete the offer ing. "MY'STERY OK YELLOW IIOOYI" The Mystery of the Yellow Room" continues to fascinate Harrisburgers who attend the Victoria Theater this j- e f. ~ e P' c ture is unique and is distinctly a mystery picture. Of the hundreds of people who have seen it. very few have been able to solve the solution. Harold Lloyd is also being ofTered in his first two-reel SIOO,OOO comedv 'Bumping into Broadwav." a laugh fest from start to finish. Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week William Farnum, the highest salaried motion picture artist in America, will be offered in "Wings of the Morning." JACK PICKFORD I.Y "IX WRONG" Jack Pickford was and still is "In \\ rong" in his latest release, which is still playing at the Colonial The ater to-day and to-morrow for the last times.

If every i Cub would bring in a new fellow we ) would have a large pack in a short j time. We didn't have as good an attend ance as last Monday. Two were ab sent. After our meeting we stayed for a Scout meeting and were inspect ed by the Scout Commissioner. The Cubs were all prepared for this, all shined up, and we made a good show ing.
