KLEIN PHOTO PLAY AT GRAND TODAY

"Daughters of Men" and "One of Our Girls," 'Mongst Week's I Features.

Another big week of film features at the Grand! A special engagement, for today only, is that of the Lubin production af Charles Klein's drama, "The Daughters of Men."

Two other Klein dramas, "The Third Degree" and "The Lion and the Jslouse," were so successfully fined as to expect much from this latc.^,. production. The cast includes the best of the Lubin players, the distribution being as follows:

Daniel Crosby. Percy "Winter Uncle Mllbank, "W. H. Turner Matthew Crosby, Gaston Bell John Stedman, George Soule Spencer James Thed--fortv Arthur Mathews Jem Burress,

Earl Metcalfe Louis Stolbeck, Robert *3 Dunbar Reginald Crosby, Kempton Greene Oscar Lackett, Bernard Siearel Pres. McCarthy, James Daly

Grace Crosby, Lilie Leslie Bella, Mabel Greene Louise Stolbeck, Ethel k"* Clapton.

OH Monday and Tuesday Hazel Dawn will be seen as the star in "One of Our Girls," the play made famous a generation ago by E. H. Sothern and Helen Dauvray.

According to George Blaisdell, critic of the motion picture world, "One of Our Girls" depends for its quality not upon sensational incidents. It is straight drama, with cumulating action. There is a strain of pathos, hut it is offset by bits of delightful comedy such, for instance, as the snub administered by Kate to the flirtatious count, both in the railway compartment when she first sees him and later when she calmly ignores the formal introduction. There will be laughter in any house when, in response to the indignant remonstrance of Mme. Fonblanque at the spooning indulged In by the lovers, Kate calmly kisses and rekisses the captain. Or when, at the dinner party, Kate hauls out of his seat the dignified captain and puts him through the paces of the "new American tango." Or again, when the captain, as the. acquaintance progresses, takes the hand of Kate to kiss it she withdraws her hand and raises her face to the captain s. The captain meets the issue, but with less bravery than he displays when he faces the count in deadly combat. This duel, by the way, is lightened the

lie VAUDEVILLE ACTS FOR VARIETIES

Season Opens Next Sunday With "U. B. O." Artists on the Program.

Vaudeville will again reign at the Varieties starting Sunday, August 23. which ib about otic week earlier than the usual start of the vaudeville season in general throughout the country. The Varieties will offer vaudeville until the completion of the new Hippodrome, at Eighth and Ohio streets, when the bookings will be transferred to the new theater and the Varieties will be remodeled and devoted to feature pictures. The vaudeville outlook is unusually bright for the coming season and some of the biggest features will be seen in Terre Haute. The Varieties, and later the Hippodrome, is to be booked by the United booking offices, which books all of the KeitB houses in the east and Orpheum houses in the west, and is affiliated with the Western Vaudeville Managers' association and the values of receiving acts direct from the Keith and Orpheum circuits can be readily seen- Then, too, on account of the .European wars, there will be many more of the larger acts available, nearly all of the European theaters being practically closed and the vaude ville situation in the other countries very uncertain. This situation gives the United States a big supply of vaudeville talent, which will undoubtedly bring to Terre Haute a season of the best vaudeville that has ever been seen here.

Heading the first week's bill will be Charles A. Bowser & Co., an old favorite with Terre Haute audiences, appearing this season in "Superstition," Oliver White's comedy dramatic sketch. Others on the bill will be Gen. Pisano & Co., world famous sharpshooters Fidler & Shelton, in comedy and music Sylvester & Vance, musical entertainers, and Billy and Edith Adams.

A few of the other good features booked to follow are the Six Kirksmlth Sisters, Ed. Morton, Chick Sale, "The Enchanted Forest," Carmen Minstrels, Baby Helen, Jed and Ethel Dooley, "When Love is Young," "Pipes of Pan," Eight Forget-me-nots, "Young America," Dorothy DeSchelle & Co-, "Dance of the Cities," "College Days," Dunbar's Royal Dragons, Majestic Musical Four and Grace Cameron.

prevented Manager Smith from gathering in any important money during the stock season some nights he didn't lay up a cent—the house has prospered with attractive and exclusive film features as the magnet. As for the theatres devoted exclusively to motion pictures, it is safe to say that every one of them has doubled the receipts of last summer.

There's no question in my mind as to the cause of the midsummer craze for the movies. Charley Smith started it at the Grand and every film theatre in Terre Haute is gathering a portion of the gravy.

be on in earnest. The closing bill is a Warner film feature called "Life's Cross Roads."

The third episode in the Universal serial, "The Trey o' Hearts," will be shown at the Princess next Thursday. In this interesting film Cleo Madison, the emotional actress, plays a dual role, that of twin sisters.

One result of the European war will be the closing of the principal motion picture making plants abroad. For some months work in those places has gone on in a very perfunctory fashion, due to the apprehension of war. Most of the employes, as a matter of fact, are serving in their respective armies.

"The Painted World" is the latest film feature at the Vitagraph theater, in New York. It was put on by Ralph Ince. In the cast are Anita Stewart, Julia Swayne Gordon, Harry Northup, Janice Cummings and R. A. Roberts. It will be shown at' the Grand later on.

Robert Edison is the star In "The Call of the North," which was shown at the Strand theater in New York last week.

"'Tho Littlest Rebel," now a six-reel film, is being shown on Broadway. Rosemary Thelby, Harry Myers and Brinsley Shaw, Lubin favorites, have signed to appear in Universal films.

The Eleanor Gates stories will be filmed by Sawyer. First of the series will be "Doc."

"Envoy Extraordinary" is the title of a new war picture dealing with a conflict of European nations. It has just been released by the Sawyer company.

we opened our doors other theatre owners predicted we would only last a month, but it was a surprise to them when we gained victory over all others by the big success we made where so many had failed.

A show always worth the price, and courtesy to all, was the policy that brought success and since the people of Terre Haute and vicinity have joined us in helping to make the AMERICAN a success by their liberal patronage, due to our liberal policy of always giving the Best Pictures, and for the same uniform price of admission, 5c, have out grown the size of the present auditorium, only seating 425, to a house of 1050 capacity, and when the Greater American is completed, will be one of the finest and largest theatres for moving pictures in the Middle West.

We expect to have the new building ready to open November 1st, until then no shows at the AMERICAN. Save your nickels for the opening. The feature picture today is "THE MYSTERY OF THE CASTLE," by Blanche.
