REGENT Motion Pictures 1 ' Thurston, the Magician Thurston, the magician, will close liis local engagement at the Majestic with a matinee and night performance to day. The popularity of Thurston is readily understood after witnessing one of his performances. The absence of sameness is strikingly noticeable, every act is different from the one preceding it, for while one astounds and astonish es, the rest may be of such a'n amusing character as to throw the audience into a convulsion of laughter. Thurston is conceded to be the peer of entertainers in his claims. His genial manner, his mode of execution of the various tricks and illusions and the great amount of humor he throws into his work with his delightful patter adds to the general excellence of the program. This year Thurston is presenting a more bewildering array of new myster ies than ever before the most promi nent are "The New Woman," "Noah's Vision," "Balaam and His Donkey," "Animated Sketches," "The Evolu tion of the Negro." "Aerial Fishing," "The Chocolate Soldier" and "Crea tion." —Adv.* "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" In Eugene Walter's dramatization of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," the widely read novel by John Fox, Jr., the author of "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come," you see presented on the stage tho typical mountain com munity of the Virginia hills. Tho priini tiveness of the "people is shown in all its pk'turesqueuoss and charm and you ■will love Juno and her kin folk far more on the stage than you did [when you ■wandered with her through the pages of Mr. Fox's delightful story. In her characterization of June, Miss Dixio Gompton emphasizes the wild mountain girl's longing for the knowledge of the world outside of her mountain environ ment and which is, after all, the strong est motive of mankind. This dramatic success comes to tho Majestic to-mor row afternoon aDd evening.—Adv.* "Damaged Goods" Richard Bennett's New York Com pany of co-workers, comes to the Ma jestic on Saturday afternoon and even ing in Eugene Brieux's great sociolig ical drama, "Damaged Goods," which has created wider interest than any other play produced on the American stage within the last decade. The New York "Times" has described it as the play which initiates a new epoch of civilization. "Damaged Goods" is a powerful purposed drama and de-als with a sub ject of the social evil and its related "social diseases," subjects hitherto considered taln>o not only for the stage Ibut for the pulpit and the press, but the sincerity and startling frankness of its treatment and the earnestness with which Mr. Bennett and his co workers interpret Brioux's play, rob it of all unhealthy sensationalism and causes it to be accepted as a profound moral lesson.—Adv.* At the Orpheum Gowns made while you wait is the striking novelty of "Tho Fashion Shop," the tuneful one-act musical comedy that is pleasing Orphoum pa trons this week. The stage setting of this production shows a fetching in terior of one of New York's leading gown establishments and the girls in the piece are seen either as models or salesladies. A French designer of gowns who is running' the establishment, and who by the way is a real, live design er of European reputation, injects much oif the comedy. More laughs are due when a "ruibe" and his daughter hit the store, who have plenty of money and who want some gowns, fine gowns, no matter what they cost. The country girl is lean, lanky and an exaggerated Bis Hopkins type and she injects hcajw of good comedy, as does also her father. Erl Cpor is especially good as the "rube," while Blanche Latell, is just as funny as his daughter. The models are dressed, or rather the gowns are' made on the models in full view of the audience. The designer simply takes a number of straight pieces of costly ma terials, drapes them here, pins a flower there, and in a few minutes a lyorgeous ly dressed model steps from her ped estal. While he is designing creations, tuneful lyrics are sung by various mem bers of tho company. Taken as a whole tho act is a novelty, it is tuneful, funny in B|>ots, and is a decidedly pleasing "sight act." A number of fine comedy •attractions, including "Twenty Odd Years," a comedy sketch enacted by Harry Beresford and company, are in cluded in the remaining acts.

Adv.* THE MALTESE DERBY ! Its Curious Race Course With Go ail You Please Rules Horse racing is a favorite sport the world over, but it is doubtful whether ! any nation can boast of such a curious | race course or claim more remarkable ideas of the sport than the Maltese. Oncp a year the roal skirting Sliema harbor is reserved as a race course, and , the people turn out in thousands. There lis no regulation of the course. Tho I crowd simply clears out of the way as the horses come along. Tlin jockeys ride without bridles or saildlos, and each carries a whip in cither hand —one for his own mount, the other to keep back any horse which i may try to overtake him. We saw one of the deliberately trip a | horse up by putting his leg out, at grave risk to himself.
