Rose Stahl in "A Perfect Lady"
In Rose Stahl's new comedy, "A
Perfect Lady," which conies to the
Majeetu' theatre Friday evening, there
is brought into strong relief the drab
dreariness of the average small country !
town. In the first act the minister tells
how they are trying to build a new j
church, Ww there are weekly prayer
meetings and the Epwortli League, the [
bus driver says that Bryan lectured |
there the past winter. The members of|
a dy-by-night burlesque troupe land in
the particular town in this play, Syca
more, Kansas. They bring with them
the ideas and spirit of the big outer
world. Under the guidance of Lucille
Higgins, erstewhile Lucille de Jambo n,
who was queen of the burlesque, they
proceed to put some new life into the
viliage. The methods are subtle tor
music by an unseen player instills them
with a desire to keep pace with the |
music. Then they are told the dance
is easy to learn and soon the fever of
the tango has them in its grip. adv. j
"The Shepherd of the Hills"
There are many hits of excellent !
character drawing in "The Shepherd of
the Hills" the dramatization of Harold
Bell Wright's most widely read novel,!
which comes to the Majestic, Monday,
matinee and nigfat. It is a beautiful
play, tilled with tears and laughter.
The people that move within it are so
human that the auditor will pick them
out for like and dislike, as if he had
really known them in flesh, rather than \
on the boards of a stage. adv.
At the Orpheum
One of the bright particular attrac- i
tions of the current offering at. the Or
pheum this week is a scintillating
comedy sketch entitled "Married."
Tiie playlet is original in theme nndi
accordingly brings in many unexpect- \
ed situations and then in the hands of
such talented players as Homer Mason
and Marguerite Keeler, it of course is
enhanced many fold. Miss Keeler is a
charming blonde, with a wealth of!
golden tresses, and she is altogether
charming. Mr. Mason is a comedian t
of the refined type, possession a pleas
ing personality, and a way of handling
his lines that makes him irresistible
funny. The action of the piece takes'
place in a hotel room, where the girl
has wandered while suffering with
aphasia, and she gets into Mr. Mason's
room. Enter Mr. Mason, who has been
o.it with the boys for a few days, and
who is now partly recovered. Mr. Ma
son's monologue 'with himself in the
mirror is exceedingly funny and then
be decides that he must be married,
after seeing a woman's clothes in his!
room.
No end of laughable complications!
arise and these are heightened bv a
burglar, who is under cover, and who
s watching every move of the players
in order to make a getaway. All ends
happily, however, but the "playlet and
the players are certainly worth a trip
to the Orpheum. if they were the whole i
show in themselves. Mason and Keeler \
are ottering one of the clever Keith |
novelties that supports Nat N. Wills, 1
the "King of Tramps," and most
celebrated comedian who has vet ap
peared at the Orpheum. adv.
At the Colonial
"A Dream of the Orient," by allj
od is the most beautiful production ever
wen at the Colonial theatre, will bow'
for its closing performance to-day at
that play house. From a standpoint of
talent, beautiful scenery and "cute" 1
pirls, this act is a treat indeed. In
brief, the act deals with moments of
general jollification in a typical
harem and yet the dances are prettv \
and clever. On all sides patrons of the !
Busy Corner are declaring the big
headliner an artistic triumph and the
best "big act" ever seen in that the-1
atre. A bill of entertaining Keith hits'
appears on the same bill. "The Prop
erty Man," a rattling comedy film ip
two parts, will also be exhibited for)
the last time to-day. adv.
