OF THE

COMES INMLM FORM

Broadhurst With Roert Warrick the Attraction At the Grand Today.

Another of the World Film corpor atlon's exclusive feature Alms, "The Man of the Hour," Is to be shown at the Grand today.

This picture is a photodramatlzation of the famous play by George Broadhurst dealing with modern political corruption, and ia the fourth of the William A. Brady features to be released. Not only is the picture story equally forcible and true to lire as the stage version, but the picture allows of many little bita of characterization and detail, necessarily omitted before the footlights, that greatly enhance the human heart Interest of the story and bring before us most vividly the reality of the characters as human beings.

It is asserted by one of the New York reviewers that the actors from Robert Warwick, who created the part and plays the central character in both play and photodrama, down to the sneak thief, butlers, aldermen and other supers, have made the most of their opportunity in a very intelligent and gratifying way.

On Monday only "The Million Dollar Mystery'" serial will be shown, Wednesday and Thursday being taken over by the Elks' show. "The Road to Yesterday" will be shown with the Thanhouser serial. On Tuesday the wonderful Vitagraph photoplay, "A pillion Bid," returns for one day.

On Friday and Saturday the Selig production of Rex Beach's "The Spoilers" will be shown. William Fanrim and Kathlyn Williams will be seen in the leading: roles. As "The Spoilers" is a two-hour show, only two matinaes and two night performances will be given. "The Spoilers" is a moving tale of the Alaskan gold field.

Sam and tty Morton May Retire

At the close of this season Sam and Kitty Morton may' retire from the stage. They may retire, but they will give it a lot more thought before they decide. They hadn't thought of such a thing until grandchildren began to come along in fairly rapid succession. Up to then they didn't lcnow they were growing old. Then Mrs. Morton thought up the rtlrement Idea. "This is our last year," she said. "We are going to have our little 'lovo in a cottage' in Detroit," she said. "Yes," echoed Sam, "I guess we're about ready for retirement. But I don't think much of my wife's 'cottage' and "has-been' ideas. She's too kittenish. I want to spend the rest of by life near a theatre. I wouldn't mind getting a job as a stage doorkeeper when I'm too old to move my feet." "Golly, Sam," broke In Kitty, as an idea struck her. "Our kiddies are growing up fine. Wouldn't another 'Pour Mortons—Second edition' be a scream Eh?"

THEATRICAL CHIT-CHAT BY JHQTJE O'BRIEN

Continued From Page Twelve.

Jeff" for good measure. To insure piofltable engagements for all of these attractions the theatre-goers of neighboring cities mu«t be relied upon. None of these shows can be permitted to suffer for lack of patronage simply because they come in a bunch. Every effort was made by Manager Smith of the Grand to have at least two of the remarkable list of attractions named above switched to later dates, but in no case was It possible to make such an arrangement. This being the case we will have to levy a war tax for the proper support of the big shows that are so soon due. We can't afford to permit any one of them to suffer.

Blllie Burke has been playing to enormous receipts in all of the one night stands she has visited, and she has been doing rather well in the cities, too. "Seven Keys to Baldpate," with Cyril Scott aifh the rest of the New York and Chicago company, is another proposition we can't get away from. Box office inquiries indicate a sell out for this attraction. "The Blue Bird" is a spectacular fairy tale, done in a big way by the organization that presented it at the Century theater in New York. Surely this show will take care of itself. And. as for "Mutt and Jeff" and Maude Adams, the first named is one of the very few popular price shows we will halve this year, and Miss Adams will have her usual capacity audience.

Manager Smith, of the Grand, is not at all worried over the prospects. He Inaugurating a mall order system that will facilitate the handling of seat reservations for the big shows. It was rather encouraging to find in his mail this week advance orders accompanied by checks for the Blllie Burke, "Seven Keys From Baldpate" and "Elue Bird" engagements. One check for $40 called for reservations for five performances. This check came from Brazil. There was another check for $20 from Paris still another from Rockville, and another from SulliVan, all calling for reservations for two or more of the big shows coming.

Valeska Suratt will leave for Milwaukee today, there to open a week's engagement In "Black Crepe and Diamonds." She will play in St. Louis, Louisville and Cleveland, and then bid farewell to vaudeville, for a time, at least.

Miss Suratt will be the star in the new Shubert production at the Winter Garden in New York, and will have a part outlined by herself. The new piece at the Winter Garden will be a distinct novelty, and Miss Suratt will have a chance to do some real acting —the Leslie Carter sort, you know. She will Impersonate Madame Du Berry, Cleopatra and other famous charmers, and she won't have to. sing or dance unless she wishes to do so.

Kaiser the Cause of New Rules in London

Theatrical managers have been obliged to revise their time tables in London since the kaiser began making faces at them across the channel. Fed? of an aeroplane Invasion has caused the military authorities to Insist upon a dark London after sundown, a rule which materially Interferes with night performances in the playhouses.

At the Haymarket and His Majesty's afternoon performance are being given. At Daly's theater, where "A Country Girl" is in revival, the evening per-

Kennedy, Nobody and Plan, originators 01 •Nobody, offer a comedy skit "Nobody Paid .You." They all have good voices and excell as singing comedians. Handers and Millis have an up-to-date singing and piano number and Heras and Preston, 'acrobats, complete the first half bill. Opening Thursday matinee a Terre Haute favorite will be ia the feature position. Miss Grai'e Cameron, celebrated comic opera star, will head a holiday bill of more than ordinary merit. Miss Cameron is a star of long standing. Her vaucrevllle ottering is comprehensive, and that helps to make It good. She does eccentric songs, character numbers, prima donna selections and sings musical comedy hits, the combined effect of which is the making of an act that should at least equal any of its kind the Varieties has ever offered. Another feuture will be the Florenz Family, one of the best acrobatic families known, who have been a feature with the big circuses for several seasons. Florence Modena and Co. in a- comedy sketch, "Bargain Mad," have one of the laughing numbers of the season. Hodge and Lowell in a "Rival Flirtation" and He-
