(HARMING SINGER COMING
Miss Ruth Roye, at Orpheum Next
Week. Won Fame in One Night
The season's new sensation in the
way of a eharming singer cf popular
songs i< Miss Kutli Roye, who makes
her early local appearance at the Or-
I heum next week, after a six weeks'
successful engagement at the l'alaic
theatre in New York City.
MISS RUTH ROYE
An interesting feature about Mi -
Rove 's high standing as a singing com
edienne is the fact that -die is one of
. the few footlight aspirants whose |
j duanis came true, to the exteut that '
they wiu fame almost over uight. Be
fore the present season Miss Hove wa
practically unheard of. But after he:-
us in e flamed in incandescent lights for
six weeks at Broadway's moft impoi
taut vaudeville theatre it began to
mean someth ng.
Critics have described her as a
beauty, say she looks lovely, that she 1
I is distinctly original in her rendition
of tuneful song hits amt that ehe is
a dynamo of magnetism.
Miss Rove appears at the Orpheum
next week as one of the important
Keith hits grouped about "The l.awn
'.Party, an inesistiible juvenile produc
tion, abounding wifb goo I songs, good
fun and loads of youthful frolic.

At the Photoplay
From the scene in the Broadway
Star Feature picture. "My Official
Wife," in which the beautiful and fas
rinating Helene Marie. Cjuoen of Nihil
ists, vows to go to Russia on a secret
mission, until her lovely body is seen
floating on the waves beside lie- noble
Russian lover, the pictures carries us
through a maze of adventure. "Mv
Official Wife" was written b> Richard
Henry Savage and was dramatized for
stage pttrposes over a decade ago. The
picturized version is in five parts and
is one of the strongest dramas of Rus
sian life ever filmed. The atmosphere
of the Czar's domains is cleverly car
ried through the entire story, while eon
trusted views of peasant life and Rus
sian society give a vivid glimpse of
conditions as they actually exist.
Clara Kimball Voung, who piny> the
beautiful nihilist, is an admirable
Helene Marie, her face revealing the
rapt soul of the young plotter i'o lib
erty. Miss Voung is ably supported by
Earle Williams, Harry Morcy, L. Rogers
Lvtton and a star cast of Vitagraph
players. "My Official Wife" will be the
feature attraction at the Photoplay
to-day.
Along with a two-act Vitagraph re
leave. "Good-bye Summer," in which
Norma Talmadge and Antonio Mareno.
the ideal couple, are featured. This is
a Vitagraph Day at the Photoplay.
