"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. Interesting features in

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

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*

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.
The Senate toad rejected the bill.
(Members of the House declared that
deer are a nuisance; that there are
more to t'he square mile in Connecticut
than in any other State in t'he union;
that herds of twenty-five are ordinary
sights in farmers' 'barnyards, and that
peach and apple growing suffers more
from t'he animals than from any other
single cause.
