A triumvirate of stars—William
Gillette, Blanche Bates and Marie Doro
—will make the revival of Victorien
Sardou's masterpiece, "Diplomacy,"
at the Majestic Wednesday evening a
notable event in the year's dramatic
calendar.
Charles Frohman, under whose direc
tion the important revival is made,
must have exercised uncommon man
agerial "diplomacy" himself in bring
ing together so notable a trio of fa
mous stars for the interpretation of
the Sardou masterpiece. "Diplomacy"
comes here direct from long runs" in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and
Chicago, where this revival has de
lighted the present generation of the
atregoers who have never had an op
portunity of seeing the celebrated Sar
dou play before.—Adv*

Willard, the man who grows, came to
Harrisburg to day to begin a three

grows because he walks out on the
stage Tather dwarfed in size and before
the eyes "of his audience begins to
grow. When he leaves the stage he has
reached the height of 6 feet 6 inches.
Willard's act has attracted atteution
all over the world. He has exhibited
his wonderful power of growing in al
most every country, and down ,to the
present time no one has ever been able
to explain how it is possible for him
to stretch out as he does. There are
three good acts on the same bill, all

"After the Ball"
A little maiden climbed an old man's
knee.
Begyed for a story, do, Uncle please.
Why are you single? Why live alonef
Have you no babies Have you no
home?
The story he tells this maiden makes
a society drama and thrill filled mlo
drama. Supplementary to the main ac
tion in "After the Ball," is an under
world story containing thrilling mo
ments. There is a handover-hand
clothesline escape, from a house be
sieged by the police; there is a 50-
foot jump of Barney McPheo from a
bridge into the water, there is a pur
suit of a train by a motormounted po
liceman, who jumps from his machine
to the rear platform, only to lose his
quarry when there is a jump into the
river below as the train passes over a
bridge and one of the greatest race
track scenes ever shown on the screen.
The scene dissolves back to the little
child with her arms around her Uncle
John, who murmured :
That's why I'm lonely,
No home at all,
I broke her heart, pet,
After the Ball.
