"The Olrl From Utah"
Charles Frohman has been offering
high-class theatricals for so many years
that one scarcely is surprised at any
thing he announces in the shape of
stage fare, but fchis year in combining
three of the best-known musical come
dy stars in a single organization he
has really accomplished something out
of the ordinary, so that the announce
ment that 'he is sending his tri-star
cast of Julia Sanderson, Donald Brian
and Joseph (Jawthorn to the Majestic
Wednesday evening, May 12, will bo
undoubtedly received with considerable
enthusiasm. The success of "The
Girl From Utah" in New York, where
it packed the Knickerbocker theatre
for four months, is too well known to
need repeating and since then the big
organization has been repeating its
j triumphs at the Tll i N oi H theatre, Chi
cago, and comes 'here direct from the
latter city. "The Girl From Utah" is
a London Gaiety show, which in itself
is sufficient endorsement. The music
is by Paul Rubens and Jerome Kern
and book by James T. Tanner. In ad
dition to the three stars, there is a
splendid supporting cast of musical
comedy singers and dancers, including
Venita Fitzhugh, Renee Keel, Queenio
Vassar, Veronique Banner, Clara Ecks
trom, George Bishop and George Whar
ton. Adv.*
"Kidland" at the Colonial
I One of those acts that always makes
a hit in Harrisburg, a group of clever
juvenile actors and actresses, conies to
the Colonial theatre to-day for a three
day stay. A 1 White's "kidland" con
tains nearly a dozen romping boys and
girls, each of whom takes an important
I'art in unwinding a pretty little story
that is broken up with frequent songs.
There is no dotfbt but what this act
will attract large crowds to the Colon
ial. On the same bill will be Murray
K. Hill, "the five-cent barber;" Walk
er and 111, in n skit called "The Only
Girl," anil Laird and Thompson, two
very pretty girls, in a dainty offering
with songs. The Colonial lias also just
made an arrangement with the manu
facturers to keep the house supplied
with Charles K. Champlin comedies, and
one of these will be ft feature of the bill
the first three days of this week. Adv.*
At the Regent
No greater attraction has ever been
arranged for this city than that which
will be shown at the Regent theatre to
day and to-morrow. "The Dancing
Girl," the world-renowned drama by
Henry Arthur Jones, is in itself a won
derful feature, but along with the pro
duction comes the announcement that
Floronce Reed, the great American
actress, is to be "the girl." Midd
Reed's splendid emotional acting in
"The Typhoon" and "The Yellow
Ticket" stamp her as well adapted to
the role of the beautiful Drusilla, the
demure little village maiden anil the
notorious belle of London Bohemia.
"The Dancing Girl" is an elaborate
j production and several hundred scenes
are used in its presentation. Miss Reed
is supported by a cast of notable play
ers. In addition to the big feature to
day, "Ham Harrowing Duel," "The
Phantom Thief" and "The Sister 'a
Solace" will be shown. Adv.*
"Runaway June" at the Victoria.
To-day
To-day we present the fourteenth
episode of George Randolph Chester's
remarkable serial entitled "Runaway
June" anil as there is only one more
episode to follow to-day's offering part
of the mystery begins to clear itself.
The interesting story is founded on
the idea that a woman loses her inde
pendence when she marries and that
she becomes in a sense an abject beg
gar. "June" runs away from her hus
iband for this reason and her many ex
citing adventures and the mysterious
ness of her surroundings are shown iu
a very fascinating manner. To-morrow
we present V. McOrew Wilis' distinc
tive photo creation in five parts called
"The Quest," in which one of Ameri
ca's most beautiful actresses, Marga
rite Fisher is featured and who is sup
ported by a cast of such capable play
ers as Henry Pollard, James Single
ton, Robyn Adair and others. This
£reat Mutual masterpiece is a power
ful production of realism and romance.
" Wished on Mabel," a screaming
Keystone comedy, will also be shown
to-morrow. —Adv.*
