Deacon Amos Titmous (Harry Kelly), is a pillar of the church at Cemetery Corners—but a high-flyer on Broadway. The deacon's nephew. Jack Rushton, at tending college ill New York, is in love with Murgot. a cabaret singer. Meanwhile, the Deacon, during a trip i to Now York, starts a flirtation with -Margot, little suspecting that she is: •lack's sweetheart, tie wants to star; her, and with that purpose in mind visits the composer. Fruvola, at his ; studio. Jack is 011 hand disguised as ; . by Charles O'Brien Kennedy, and is promised to supply a full measure of I heart interest, with laughter and i tears happily blended. The Kentucky blue grass region has been drawn on as the locale of j Ihe play, and Air. Cobb lias supplied l lie character types in full harmony with Dial region. As The Old Home stead' and Joshua Whitcomb" con- Yoy to tlie stage the atmosphere of Vt' w '''"B'a'xl, so it is promised will i this Irvin Cobb creation of llie char acter of "Peep O'Day" convey the quaint type of Kentucky idealism. Joseph IJ art, of "Foxy Grandpa" memory, who lias for several years been 'prominent as a producer of worthy attractions in the vaudeville Held, now enters the legitimate pro ducers class us sponsor for this new ottering. lie promises a production of scenic worth for the three acts of the play and a competent cast of play ers. headed by Harry Beresferd in the role of "Peep O'Day." "ON THE MIKING LINK" Playgoers will have a chance to see what is said to be one of the brightest comedies of the season at the Orpheuni Theater Friday and it' will be presented by the cast which can authentically be called the Broad j way cast. This is the latest Harvey O'Higgins—Harriet Ford comedy, "On the Hiring bine," which lias been playing at the Criterion Theater in New York, but was compelled to make way for Haurett Taylor. So "On the Hiring bine" was crowded out of New York, but will return to Broad way next week, where it will resume its run at the Standard Theater. I To hold tlie company together the producer, George C. Tyler, booked them for a week in Baltimore, then three days in Atlantic City, and then to Harrisburg and Kaslon, after which they return to Manhattan. This company is probably the most dis tinguished of the year, even in New York, for it includes baura Hope Crews, Vivian Tobin, Josephine Hall, Minna Gombell, Cyril Scott, John Blair, Sidney Toyer. Robert Hudson and Donald' Gullahcr. "On the Hiring bine" is a happy I relief frofn the round of serious plays, though it treats of a subject that at first thought seems too se rious to he funny. It is based 011 the afflictions of a family that can't keep servants. How the husband in des peration declares that lie will run the house, and that he can keep employes In his home as successfully as he does in his factory, in the beginning of complications. To his wife's amazement and chagrin he seems in a fair way to succeed. But he has used a strategy which threatens to involve them all in a domestic dis aster. Finally his scheme is revealed, but in the meantime the. house passes through a variety of experi ences which aw as excruciating to tlie onlookers as they are exasperat ing to the family involved. To the public that is longing for new and in teresting turns in their comedies, "011 the Hiring bine" will be a gay diver sion. "OH! WHAT A GUII." Coming direct from the New York incubator of musical comedy, the Shu bert Theater, the latest Shubert sen sational novelty, "Oh. What a Girl," and the original cast with Harry Kelly, Frank Fay. Sam Ash, bew Cooper, Hazel Kirke, Elizabeth Mof fat. Patsie de Forest and others, is announced for a special engagement at tlie Orpheuni, Thursday night. Dif fering materially from the average revue which just at present seems to be holding tlie attention of Broad way, "Oh. What a Girl," has a sub stantial story that is humorous in the extreme. As a matter of fact, it is unusual lo tind a play with so many comedians us is the case with "Oh, What a Girl," which boasts of Harry Kelly, Frank Fay and bew Cooper—"three of a kind that beat two pair" or ordinary comedians. Kelly is again seen in his won drous characterization of the deacon. Some nine years ago Kelly appeared in a piece called "His Honor, the Mayor." IDs role was that of "Dea con Flood." The play was very sue i uessful and after his engagement 1 Kelly laid aside tlie habiliments of the deacon, thinking that he would never again be called upon to act it. When the Alessrs. Shubert contracted for the story of "Oh, What a Girl." they specified that Kelly be seen in ' the' role of the deacon, which ac- I counts for his presence in the latest : success. Time has ripened his style and certainly age has Improved the old Deacon who now, instead of be ing "Deacon Flood" is "Deacon Tit | mouse." GKKAI.DINF, KAKIt Alt OPENS ENGAGEMENT AT HEGENT Playing in another, great produo ! tion, Geraldine Farrar appeared in | her newest picture, "Flame of the i Desert,' at the Regent Theater yes terday. Tier performance in this lav i isli picture, as well as that of her husband, Lou Tellegen. and the bal ance of the capable cast, is notable. 1 Geraldine Farrar is admirably suited ! to the role and uses every opportun j itv to the fullest extent. ! "Flame or the Desert" is a thrill ing after-the-war story of an Arab conspiracy in Egypt, with massive settings laid in Cairo and the desert of Saharu. It excels the recent great I Farrar pictures in grandeur and is I HARRISBURG EGSFTGT TELEGRAPH • a t*nor.

TKCII TEAM (iI'KSTS OF TWO THEATERS YESTERDAY Members of the Harrisburg Tech football squad which has brought ad ditional laurels to Harrisburg by winning the scholastic championship of the United States in football were doubly entertained yesterday by the theaters. Yesterday afternoon they were the guests of tlie Majestic Theater man agement at tlie initial showing of "Who's Who in Harrisburg," at that theater.

This was evidenced yesterday by the large crowds which attended the Vic toria Theater. This picture, en titled "Wings of the Morn ing." sounds a popular keynote for local theater-goers as it is one of the most absorbing stories ever shown of 'the great West in which there trails an unusually excellent love story.

"WHO'S MHO IN HARK ISB I lit," NOW SHOWING AT Al A.I F.ST IF The Majestic bill tor the first half of this week stored a distinctive hit at the Majestic Theater yesterday afternoon, when a crowded house acclaimed it. The first screeninfr of "Who's Who in Harrisburg" was quite a success and throughout the picture people were heard to remark of there's so and so—you surely know him. Zalayo, the son of the ex president of Nicaragua, was one of the successful stars now appearing. He is an expert pianist and played several popular as well as classical selections. He also tells why rag time is the popular music. If you don't know why it is, here is your chance to be highly entertained while leurning. Three other Keith acts and another episode of "The Fatal For tune" complete the offering. OVER-ACIDITY of the stomach has upset many a night's rest.
