The new edition of the Philadelphia r

War Pictures now l>eing presented at ]j
the Majestic Theatre are the newest j,
motion picture representation of the ;
terrific European War that has been v
received iu this country. There are
seven reels of them and one thousand j,
feet to each reel. They are accom
panied by an expert operator and a
lecturer familiar with the scenes he
talks übout. Never before has so pre
tentious a motion picture outfit gone |,
out from Philadelphia. fl
During the present engagement {
there will be afternoon and evening j
performances and the prices will be
25 cents for adults and 15 cents for j.
children under sixteen. —-Adv. *
Leßoy, Talma, Bosco '
After an absence of several years H
high class magic will be revived at the c
Majestic on Monday afternoon and s
evening when Loßoy, Talma, Bosco and
a company of 50 European magicians,!]
fakirs, illusionists and jugglers come I f
on their round the world tour. The j i
company reached America early last j e
December from the war zone. In San . j
Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, |«
Seattle and other cities of the Pacific 1
coast the company was declared by the
press to be the largest ever seen in
America. Scenery and properties weigh
ing 100 tons and filling three baggage j
ears are carried, along with three Afri
can lions and 100 head of other live ■
stock.—Adv. *
At the Prime of Life
John Philip Sousa has a personality
that is unmistakable, and his face and
figure are familiar everywhere. Of
course a life-time of public work will
naturally cause some changes in Sou
sa's looks, and grey hairs will appear
in spite of the fact that his wonderful
energy and grace, with the vim and
dash of his conducting, continue with
unabated vigor. At the present time,
Sousa is in his prime, and his famous
organization in its most perfect form.
His soloists, Miss Virginia Root, so
prani*; Miss Margel Oluck, violiniste,
and Herbert Li Clarke, cornetist, are
artists of the greatest merit, as usual.
iSousa and his band appear .here on next
Wednesday evening at the Majestic.—

pheum this season. Miss Brennan is j
pretty as slie can be, vivacious and
pleasing, and fairly radiates good cheer.
Her gowns arc dreams. Mr. Diamond
has an abundance of bright wit anil
bright gags, eccentric mannerisms, and
a good-natured way of expressing him
self.
They appear as one of the best fea
tures surrounding Sam Mann, the cele
brated comedian, who with an excel
lent cast is presenting a real estate
comedy act called "Lots and Lots of
it." In this act Mr. Mann is seen as a
real estate agent who is a victim of a
bunco game, but is saved from the vil
lian before the act is finished. The act
is a big laughing hit and is being en
joyed immensely. Trovoto, the great
violinist, and a wealth of other talent
round out the week's wonderful offer
ing.—Adv. *
At the Colonial
About the best all round vaudeville
offering the Colonial has had is the fine
bill appearing there for the first half
of tho week. Hilling's Seals, five of
them and a pony, offer what is its most
interesting act. 'lJlie seals are wonder
fully well trained'and tho act is far
from the ordinary. Lowell and Esther
Drew in a neat comedy with songs
called "At the -Soda Fountain," score
a nice hit; Charles and Adelaide Wil
son, comedian and a pretty girl, offer a
clever comedy skit, and Ruth Belmar,
serves up the thrills of the bill with
difficult feats on the wire as well as
performing some wonderful contortion
feats. "The Rose of Panama," a big
musical comedy production with spe
cial scenery, pretty costumes, pretty
girls, good comedians will be the extra
attraction at the Colonial during the
last half of the week.—Adv. *
At the Regent
The final presentation of "The
Spoilers," filmatized from Rex.
Beach's masterpiece, will be given in
the Regent theatre this evening. The
picture was first shown Monday when
it was engaged for three days and
record crowds have visited the the
atre to see the production with its
dozens of thrills, exploits and adven
tures and pretty love scenes.- Rex
Beach reached the zenith of his career
when he wrote ''The Spoilers" and
his remarkable descriptions of scenes
and incidents are surpassed on the
film. Alaskan life is portrayed in all
its details and a storm, shown in one
of tho nine reels used in producing
the play, is probably the greatest ever
seen on any screen. Then, too, there
is an entire raining village blown up
by dynamite. The film was brought
here from Philadelphia where it was
shown in the Chestnut street opera
house and patrons were compelled to
pay one dollar a seat.
For to-morrow Manager P. Magaro
has arranged to show "False Colors,"
produced under the direction of the
Bosworth company. The picture is
elaborately staged and showu true to ]
life, the portion of the film showing
the "first night" audience at a the
atre, being quite realistic.
Beginning to-morrow, too, Manager
Magaro will inaugurate a new scale of
prices. An admission of ten cents will
be charged for any part of the orches
tra floor while five cents will be
charged for admission to the balcony.

CLASSIC WAR POEMS
Selected by J. Howard Wert
No. 32. THE BENDED BOW
BY MRS. FELICIA DORATHEA BROWNE HEMAN3
•
In tliis poem Mrs. Hemans has pictured the mode by which the people were
summoned to battle in the rude and primitive period of the British Isles when
all the present means of speedy communication were unknown. As swift running
heralds passed from one rural settlement or isolated community to another,
presenting the symbol of the bended bow, it was known as the signal that the v
ruler of the land or the chieftain of a clan summoned all his followers to the
field to meet some foe.
There was heard the sound nf a coming
foe,
There was sent through Britaiu a bend
ed bow;
And a voice was poured on the free
winds far,
As the land rose up at the sound of war:
"Heard ,ye not the battle hornf
Reaper! leave thy golden torn!
Leave it for the birds of heaven;
Swords must flash, and spears be
riven:
Leave it for the winds to shed;
Arm! ere Britain's turf grows red!"
And the reaper armed, like a freeman's
son;
And the bended bow and the voice
passed on.
"Hunter! leave the mountain chase!
Take the falchion from its place!
Let the wolf go free to-day;
Leave him for a nobler prey!
Let the deer ungalled sweep by;
Arm thee! Britain's foes are nigh!"
And tho hunter armed, ere the chase
was done;
And the bended bow and the voice
passed on.

ture the Victoria's patrons can enjoy
the musical selections played by Al
bert Hay Malotte and William P. Me-
Bride, the latter being a well-known
Harrisburger, on our new $25,000 pipe

pictures accompanied by its proper

the pleasures of this form of enter
