PALACE Moving Pictures. v J "Evening Ledger" War Pictures In the Philadelphia "Pirt>lie Ledg er "-"Evening Ledger" War Pictures, now being shown at the Majestic thea tre, two strips of film are particularly interesting. Each is a picture of the Kaiser in action. One was made short ly after this war commenced. The oth er was made in February and was re ceived in th;s country only a few days a^o —while the presentation of the pic tures at the Forrest theatre, Philadel phia, was in its third week. The change in the Kaiser's physical appear ance is marked. Any one with half an eye can see that the tremendous strain which he has undergone has aged him. Oeneral von Hindenburg, twenty years the Kaiser's senior, seems *a younger and a more stalwart man in the three sets of pictures which show him at the head of the great German army de fending the fatherland against the at tacks of the .Russians. Adv.* Leßoy. Talma and Bosco With one of the largest magical pro ductions ever seen in America, Leßoy, Talma, Bosco, the great triple alliance of conjurers, with a company of 50 European variety artists, will be at the (Majestic for two days, commencing Monday, with daily matinees. Leßoy, Talma and Bosco. with their company, reached the United States from the war zone earlv in December. Their first appearance in this country took place at the Cort theatre, San Francisco, where tihev played a remarkably suc cessful engagement for a fortnight. Magic has slightly been in the discard in this country for the past few years liecanse of the absence of mystery art ists of the Hermann and Lafayette type. Leßoy. Talma and Bosco have played extended engagements in every European city. Adv.* No Wonder Sousa Is Liked There is a saying among producers of opera that "the public likes w.hat it likes." That this is not confined to opera is proved by the world-wide pop ularity of Sousa and his band. When one considers Sousa's recognized abil ity, the excellence of the individual mu sicians. the superb possibilities of this experienced body of players, the pecul iar merits of its different sections, •wood, wind, reeds, cornets, horns, trom bones and basses, of which the finest symphony orchestra might be proud, it is no wonder that the organization is recognized as a tremendous power in the musical world and its conductor a foremost leader. The soloists who will be heard when Sou3a and his band are here on Wednesday evening at the Ma jestic are Mis? Virginia Root, soprano, and Miss Margel Gluck, violiniste, also Herbert L. Clarke, cornetist. Adv.* David Warfteld One of the season's most notable dramatic events from a local theatrical standpoint will be David Warfield's coming engagement at the Majestic on Thursday evening. April 15. It will be the occasion of his return to this city in "The Auctioneer," the comedv that charmingly mingles smiles and tears, and in which this popular actor last appeared eleven years ago. But it was thirteen years ago at the Bijou theatre, New York, that Mr. Warfield astounded the metropolitan critics, and even his friends by his delicate art, and fulfilled to the highest degree the pre dictions that David Belasco had made for him. Adv.* At the Orpheum One of the very welcome additions to the current offering at the Orpheum tl is week is the delightful trio or char acter singers, Charles Lawlor and Daughters, who are offering one of the most artistic acts of its kind in vaude ville. Mr. Lawlor, who, as the pro gram states, is the father of these two , harming sisters, as well as the compos er of the various songs the trio sings. He is also an excellent singer himself. The girls' voices are beautiful, being! musical and splendidly trained. One of them Bings soprano, the other contralto, and the harmony of the three voices is exquisite. But it is not the voices of this trio alone that brands it a great act. All three of them are artists and they have the ability to sink their personality into the various character songs, any one of which would be su perb. The splendid aet of the Lawlors was at the Orpheum before, although it is : about five years now since their last visit. It is an artistic triumph and would prove a delightful attraction on any position of a great show. They are offering one of the turns supporting i Sam Mann and company in their screeching real estate comedy called "Lots and Lots of It." Adv.* At the Colonial There's a whole garden of beautiful girls in "The Rose of Panama," the t.jeful and spectacular musical comedy ; t....i iieads the Colonial's bill during ti.r iaat half of the week. Ilnusunl sized audiences are just reveling in this nifty attraction and there are reasons to believe that it will prove one of the best drawing cards the Busy Corner has had. Other clever turns on the same bill include Howard Chase and com pany in a clever comedy playlet; Fran cis and Ross, the scenic dancers, and IHarry Saubcr. the singing and talking (uuiedian.

Adv.* At the Begent "False Colours," a Paramount pic ture, is the attraction at the Regent Theatre to-day and if this afternoon's attendance can be taken as an indica tion, there will be a record-breaking crowd at the theatre to-night to see the film. One of the features of the picture is the interior of a theatre, ta ken when a certain drama was given its first production. The audience is true to life and the expressions on the faces of the many persons in this part of the lilmplay are remarkable. "False Colours" is told by the Bosworth Colta pany and it is a foregone conclusion that no other group of players could produce the exciting story better. For to-morrow Manager Magaro has arranged to show "Your Girl and Mine," a great suffragette picture and members of various suffrage commit tees in Dauphin county will "attend the HARRISBr?RG STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 8. 1915. production in a body to-morrow even ing. N'ext Monday and Tuesday "The Sign of the Cross" will be shown. — Adv. * The Victoria's 925,000 Pipe Organ Is a Musical Marvel The bugle call, the drum beat, the clarinet, the xylophone, the violin, the cello and almost any musical instru ment can be duplicated on thb great pipe organ which has just recently been installed at a cost of $25,00(5. This musical marvel is composed of thousands of miles of wire, numerous stops, keys and controls together with the various musical instruments enables the player to render any selection un der the most favorable conditions. It is so constructed that th e player can form a combination of the different pieces of an orchestra and render the selection as if it were really being played by 8, 10, or 12 pieces as the case may be. The person of any imagination can quite readily appreci ate the great pleasure that such an in strument can add to the motion pic ture entertainment. Think of it, each action of the play carefully followed and given its proper tone expression. It's really wonderful. The Victoria has always taken great pride in its reputation to show only the very best pictures obtainable and every day's show proves .conclusively that the pol icy of "quality first" never changes. To-day we present one of the best pic tures that has ever been shown in this city entitled "In the Shadows" in five parts.—Adv. * At the Photoplay After an absence of three weeks, Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne again appear at the Photoplay in a three-act special Essanay drama "The Great Silence." This dramatic produc tion made in conjunction with the $ 100 Lost Paragraph story in the "Ladies' World," is one of the best works of these two favorite stars who are known the world over as Every- j body's Sweethearts. Bushman, a man | of the silent North comes Kast to : Chicago for a change from the great silence of the gold fields. Through chance he become** acquainted with Beverly Bayne, and there starts three reels of fine dramatic work by an all- , star Essanay comedy. Saturday, the king of Charles, Chaplin, appears in a nevy Essanay two reeler, "The Jitney Elopement," and Charley has some time getting married.—Adv* To Preach Annual Flower Sermon Lebanon, April 8. —The presiding elder of the Episcopal church, the Rt.

Binnington, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, this city, to preach the annual flower ser mon at Chrint church cathedral, St. Louis, provided for by the will of the late Henry Shaw, founder of the Mis souri Botanical Garden, of that city. DEER NUTMEG STATE PEST Farmers Want Law to Shoot Barnyard Invading Herds Hartford, Conn., April B.—The House of Representatives has adopted a bill which would permit a land owner or liis agent to tfhoot deer with a s'hotgun on his own land at any time in the year.
