YOUNCEST STAR

IN MUSICAL COMEDY

"*A^ Joseph Santley Comes to the Grand Thursday in "When Dreams •f J. Come True." k,

Joseph Santley, one of the youngest ,-Y and most talented of the present day 'Ml musical comedy stars, will be seen in i... "When Dreams Come True" at the

Grand next Thursday afternoon and night."When Dreams Come Truo" is a musical comedy of cleanliness, youth .* and wholesome romance, presented by a company of young: people who fairly --^radiate with youth. Its story relates the adventures of a young Amyican boy who is compelled to return home in the steerage as a result of his father having cut off his allowance following the son's escapades with a dancer in

Paris. On the trip across he sees the vision of a beautiful young girl on one of the upper decks. But the little "dream girl," as he calls her, turn3 out i- 's. to be real flesh and blood, and the two ^'fare not in N,ew York twenty-four |4| hours before they meet and a love J'' affair follows. The boy's attempts to

wln

the girl in spite of parent?' obJ~ctlon are carried through three acts of lively action, plenty of draamtic slt[T uations and a wealth of color and gayety. The play is perhaps best described as a novel combination o£ melodrama, farce, music and dancing, with

the latter much in evidence throughout. Mr. Santley is not new in tiiia cit. He has often appeared as tho star in "Billy the Kid." A few years ago he blossomed forth as one of the most ._}.% popular of musical comeay favorites, appearing with De Wolf Hopper, Lew

Fields and other stars of equal prominence. While Mr. Santley can acL convincingly, sing pleasantly and play j'^ijlove scenes to the ravishment of maiden imagination, his particular triumph ~«ln "When Dreams Come True" lies in J,|jthe character and variety of his modij|ern dancng. He is the originator of many modern steps, among them "The 4- Cubist Glide," 'The Waltz Aviation," '"The Santley Tango" and "The Chi|nese Trot," the latter a particularly 1 attractive new number but recently introduced.

The young star is most fortunate in I, the support of a highly capable company, which includes Cathryn Rowe

Palmer, Mignon McOibeny, Ruth Randall, Ada Sterling, Josephine Kernell, Richard Taber, Clyde Hunnewell, Ed

ward Hume, Frank Russell, Otto fichrader and Saranoff, the Russian violinist, whose playing is admirably artistic.

The plot of "Adele" deals with a young gir], who is too young to marry without her father's consent, and who Is In love with a man her father does not approve of, because he is the son of his rival in business, consequently she prevails upon her friend, Myrianne, to help her out of her plight. Myrianne Is in love with the Baron Charles de Chantilly, a nobleman without funds, but cannot marry him without losing her dowry in her late husband's estate, who having stipulated in his will that If she marry, his estate was to be given elsewhere.

Myrianne prevails upon the baron to marry Adele, and leave her as soon as the ceremony is performed Adele can then divorce him, and as a divorcee, marry the man of her choice. The scheme fails because they fall in love with east other and Myrianne and Robert Freber, Adele's former sweetheart, are left to console each other.

The caat engaged includes Peggy Wood, Georgia Caine, Wilmuth Herkyl, Jas W. Redmond, Fred Waclder, Chas. W. Butler, Harry W. Wooster, Edna Broderick, Grace Walton, Edna Ailing, Aliyce Humphrice, Marguerite Cunard, Kathryn Beach, Anna Gartin, Lenora D*Aroy, Bue Brown, and the "Adele" beauties.

"Adele, "Broadway Hit Comes Monday,Oct 26

Much interest is being manifested in the engagement of the dainty operetta, "Adele." which comes to the Grand on Monday night. Oct. 26, "Adele" comes to this city with the emphatic endorsement of New York city, where the piece has been running all season at the Longacre and Harris theatres. "Adele," unlike many other musical offerings* does not depend upon a big chorus and ensemble numbers for its success, for be it known that the play itself is one of the cleverest comedies In many a day, and would undoubtedly be a big hit even if it had no musical numbers at all. But it has twentytwo, and each and every one of them is of the whistly sort.

The book and lyrics are by Paul Herve, and the music by Jean Briquot, and was adapted for the American stage by Adolph Phillip and Edward Paulton, who so successfully made the English version of "Alma."

PLAYS FILM FORM

"The Dollar Mark, "Call of the North" and "The Lure" At the Grand.

Film reproductions of very recent dramatic successes •will be offered at the Grand this week.

Today's feature is George H. Broadhurst's "The Dollar Mark," with Robert Warwill and a cast selected by the author and William A. Brady. "The Dollar Mark" was successful as a play. The film version has, by all accounts, been carefully put on. The World Film company made the production.

On Monday and Tuesday another Broadhurst play will be done in film form. "The Call of the North" is presented with Robert Edesoo arid Theodore Roberts in the two leading roles— certainly a strong combination. "The Call of the North" is In Ave parts, and was staged in the Great Bear valley of Lower California, Big Tiger Indian country, of northern Canada, and is said to be as atmospherically correct as man can' make. Stuart Edward White, author of "Conjuror's House", from which the play was taken, assisted in the filming of the piece. The New York Telegraph, in a review of the film had the following to say regarding the manner of its treatrtaent. "Robert Edeson Is all that could be required of the star in this story of the Frozen North. He has made a distinct study of the two characters which he portrays, making them both absolutely fearless, but tempering the elder Stewart's bravery with the overwhelming love for his little son, while the son, twenty years later, has all the recklessness ajid insolent bravado of youth. Always a popular figure on the stage, Edeson will make new friends by reason of his appearance In this production. "The role of the Factor calls for a physical giant with a dominant personality—a man who will command attention the instant that he steps into the scene. Such a man is Theodore Roberts, whose impersonation is perfect. The rest of the cast Is in every way equal to its task.

A. proper understanding of the film is based upon the explanatory subtitle to the effect that the Factor has absolute power of life and death over every soul in his territory."

On Wednesday a Vltograph comedy will be presented in conjunction with the fifteenth episode in "The Million Dollar Mystery." Friday and Saturday's bill will be "The Lure" and adaptation of a Shubert success of last season.

Seven Keys to Ba'dpate' Coming to the Grand

Distinctly human, ceaselessly interesting and intensely absorbing, Is how George M. Cohan's mystery farce, "Seven Keys to Baldpate." is described, and which will be seen at the Grand early in December. It was one of the distinct hits of last season in New York. The naturalness of the characters Introduced and the whimsical humor

l'of

the piece, to say nothing of

the curiously delightful love story it presents, makes this latest Cohan pen product one of the most novel plays presented in years. We are to have the Chicago company headed by Cyril Scott.

John Bunny, the hero of uncounted one reel "comics" in the literature of the "movies," is to appear in person at the Grand on Sunday, November 8. His entertainment is a miscellaneous musical rarce, and represents .he first program of minstrels.*, ^^ciaitieo, and experiment yet made to exploit the popularity of a motion picture actor.

If the European war 'continues much longer the moving picture carbons which formerly sold at $2.60 a bundle and which now bring $7.50, will probably not be available, and the moving picture houses in the smaller cities may be forced temporarily out of business.

These carbons are manufactured In Germany exclusively, and are-not made in this country to get the light on the alternating current. The condition will not affect houses in the larger cities where direct current is obtained, as a company in Cleveland is manufacturing a carbon which is reasonably satisfactory under those conditions. The effect may, however, be disastrous upon theatres using alternating curreut.

A new epoch in the development of the motion picture industry is marked by Henry W. Savage's Initial film offering, Maclyn Arbuckle in "The County Chairman," by George Ade, which immortalizes one of the greatest comedy-drama successes ever contributed to the American crtage, with

in "When Dreams Come True." Incidentally, Catherine Rowe Palmer, who is the leading comedienne of Mr. Santley's aggregation, was, like himself, at one time a member of Corse Payton's company. Mr. Payton is proud of the designation "America's best bad actor."

"Melodrama," says W. A. Brady, "is the staple of the stage, the corned beef and cabbage of the theater. You sometimes like to drift off to trufflee and pate de foie gras and fancy chefs d'oeulvre, but a good, big, steaming plate of corned beef and cabbage smells and tastes mighty good when yon are hungry."

John Bunny, who Is said td get $1,000 a week when acting as a comic fat man for photo plays, Is one of the very few actual celebrities of the drama in celluloid who went into that calling from a long career in the spoken drama, writes Percy Hammond in the Chicago Tribune. Most of the pets of the motion picture patrons were either unknown in the theater before taking up the work or else were unconsidered players in minor ventures. As long ago as 1889-90, when the late John A. Hamlin produced "The Fakir," a farce by his son, Harry Ll Hamlin, Mr. Bunny was an established comic player in the larger cities, and acted in that piece In support of the late Thomas Q. Seabrooke. He was for many seasons the player of Seth Holcomb in "Way Down East," having originated the part when that play was unsuccessfully tried out in Chicago. He was the Nick Bottom of Miss Annie Russell's revival In 190607 of "A Midsummer Night'® Dream" and is recalled for a performance which quite upset the. poetic and romantic balance of that comedy. He rose enough in the esteem of managers to waixant Winthrop Ames' threatening to go to law to force the actor to become a member of the company of the New theater of New York City when that institution was dedicated in 1909.

A prominent citizen died, and a member of the family went to the local newspaper office to read the proof of the Obituary notice. There' was the usual remark about the deceased being: "taken to his last resting place," but by one of those typographical fatalities which occur in every newspaper shop, the word which had been written •'resting" appeared in the proof as "roasting."

The member of the family was scandalized. "Look here," he shouted, "this has got to be corrected." "Oh, I don't know," murmured the editor. "He was three years behind with his subscription. I guess I'll let it stand as it is In the proof."—In National Monthly. i-- V-
