Burt "Gone" Melburn, blackface comedian of the real minstrel type, one of those genuinely funny fellows that make it impossible for any audience to keep from laughing, will furnish a large portion of the comedy end of the bill. Melburn is original In hts stories, has a make-up that in itself is a hearty laugh, and in addition has a good singing voice.

Yates & Wheeler appear in songs, dances and comedy, introducing several costume changes and a variety of pretty clothes by the lady member of the team.

Dix & Dlx will contribute the novelty end of the bill with an act described as "Odds and Ends of Vaudeville," in which they do about everything from tight wire walking to sensational acrobatic feats and including most of the juggling feats of present day vaudeville.

"Bird of Paradise"

With New Luana

In "The Bird of Paradise," which will be seen at the Grand on October 16th, we will see a play that is now in its fifth season on the road and each year it becomes more firmly entwined around the hearts of the treatre-goers of this city The piece is by Richard Walton Tully, author of "Omar the Tentmaker," who has in the past few years become known as one of our best atmospheric writers. The production 5s under the personal management of Oliver Morosco, who is now known as one of our foremost American producers. "The Bird of Paradise" is a sound ethical, political and racial lesson. It is also a strong, virgil drama, and contains a thoroughly absorbing love story. In brief, it deals with the love adventures of a young American physician, who falls in love with a native Hawaiian girl named Luana, who is endowed with all the seductive charm that these beautiful native women have, but although in part a member of the Christian church yet she has all the untamed passion of the savage. Another man, who is a human derelict, is lifted out of his mess that he has made of life, through the pure influence of an American girl, Diana, and finally takes his place in the world, a man again.

Manager Morosco, who has become famous for introducing new leading women, will this year offer Miss Carlotta Monterey, a young Californian, who last season was with Lou Tellegen. She will play Luana. Others in the cast will be Hooper L. Atchley, as Paul Wilson, Richard Gordon, as Dean, the beach-comber Miss Jane Haven as Diana and the sweet voiced Hawaiian singers, who help to make this wonderful play the most talked of drama of the century,

MRS. GENE HUGHES HEADS "HIP" BILL

Talented Sister to Laura Hope Crews to Be Seen In Comedy Playlet, "Youth."

Among the vaudeville stars of today few rank higher than Mrs. Gene Hughes, who will head the bill at the Hippodrome the first half of the coming week, appearing in a playlet, "Youth," written by Edgar Allen Woolf, one of vaudeville's leading sketch writers. Mrs. Hughes is a sister of that talented dramatic star, [Laura Hope Crews. Her present offering, "Youth," is described as a brilliant comedy, bristling with bright lines and cleverly devised situations. It depicts the rejuvenation of a fossilized family by a youthful grandma, who has discovered the elixir of youth. In her vaudeville tour Mrs. Hughea carries with her several trunksful of "2 Jier famous gowns, each of which is t- entitled .to the label of "A Creation."

Five people appear in the playlet. "Little Nap," a versatile champanzee, is to be another interesting feature1of the bill. "Little Nap" is an actor, acrobat, chauffeur, character impersonator and gentleman. It is generally conceded by those who .witness the performance of "Little Nap" that he is entitled to the title of "The Most Wonderful Chimpanzee in the World."

"THE ETERNAL CITY" COMES IN FUN FORM

Nine Keel Production of Hall Cain's Great Story Is American's Feature of Week.

The Famous Players' photo production of Hall Caine's virile romance of modern Rome, "The Eternal City," comes to the American for a four days' engagement today with Pauline Frederick in the role of Roma, the part played by Viola Allen in the original stage production. Incidentally, this is Miss Frederick's debut in motion pictures. Edwin S. Porter, who i3 credited with having: eleven years ago produced the first dramatic story in film form and Hugh Ford are responsible for the effects obtained in this great photo spectacle, Which was successfully created in Rome last summer shortly before the outbreak of the European war. Just at present Italy occupies a prominent place in the international searchlight, and it is worthy of note that Caine's prophecy of Italian political conditions as evi denced in his masterpiece hits with singular accuracy the situation in Rome today.

The photo production of "The Eternal City" established a new landmark in the history of moving pictures in that for the first time such world famous spots as the coliseum, castle of St. Angelo, St. Peter's, the Vatican gardens, the villa d'est and other places of historical renown appear as settings for a motion play. Also it is the first time on record that a foreign government bowed complacently to the will of American promoters to the extent of furnishing those enterprising gentlemen with the services of a large body of militia to use as they deemed best.

On Thursday the Bosworth production of "The Majesty of the Law," with George Fawcett, conies for a return engagement. On Friday and Saturday the bill will be the Jesse L. Lasky production of "The Explorer," with Lou Tellegan, who was the Armand in Madame Bernhardt's production of "Camille" at the Grand several years ago.

Week End Bill

at the Hippodrome

The week-end bill at the Hippodrome will bring Trovato, the eccentric violinist, who was one of the features of the Harry Lauder show when it was presented at the Grand. Trovato is proving an extraordinary vaudeville attraction and never fails to score a big success. An extra feature will be Menlo Moore's "Live Wire.-?," eight boys and e,rls, in a juvenile musical comedy production.

Other numbers on the hill will be Corr, Amore & Carr in a novelty comedy trampoline and bar act, Zeno & Mandel in comedy, music and songs, and Evelyn &. Dolly, two pretty girls in comedy songs and dances.

SEEN AS FILM STAR

Latest Recruit From Regular Stage la Featured In Bill Offered At •.!:» Varieties

Henry Kolker, whose dramatic successes of recent years included "Our Children," "Help Wanted" and ""Our Wives" will be the screen star at the Varieties today and Monday, when he will be seen in "The Bridge or the Bigger Man," a screen version of Rupert Hughes' play of the same name which deals with the menace to American liberties caused by the prejudice of class against class. Wealth and labor are shown to be by no means antagonistic, but, on the contrary absolutely essential to each other. The picture was directed by John W. Noble, whose photo-dramatic productions have already won high fa^oi, wherever Metro pictures are shown.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's feature will present Robert Edeson in "Mortmain," the five part Vitagraph picture play, which is described as an ideal picture play the ending of which comes as a real surprise. This, and the fact that a brand new effect ia used, places this feature in the highest ranks of motion picture dramas.

The effect referred to, is that used to depict the sensations of a man undergoing the aff2cts of an anaesthetic. In this, the spectator is treated to the distorted visions of the patient. The effeot is startling, new and perfectly understandable in the idea it conveys.

On Friday and Saturday, "The Spender," a Gold Rooster Pathe feature in five reels with George Probert, Paul Panzer, Alma Martin and Sam Ryan will be shown. Donald Mackenzie directed the picture.

Lydia Lopokora, the Russian dancer who performed here with Pavlowa, has tried three ways of spelling her name. As a dramatic star, under the name of Vera Lula she didn't gather much wampum and she escaped recognition from some of the critics because the name under which she first appeared in this country was so very unpro-^ nounceable. And only our highly esteemed little impressarioes could spell the name properly. I never could, even with the assistance of our very efficient proof reader.

"The Birth of a Nation" paved the way for "The Fall of a Nation." And now comes a film comedy called "The Mirth of a Nation." How about "The Patience of a Nation

Florence Reed has been rescued from the movies by David Belasco, who will provide a play for her, probably "The Czarine," which tells a story of Russian court life.

Pauline Frederick is the star in the Famous Players' film production of "Zaza."
