WJh* care-worn and weary can throw ay their mental splints and bandages, for "Dancing Around," with Al

Jolson and one hundred and twentylive people, will come to the Grand tonight. Jolson and jollity are one. He ta called the "greatest entertainer in the worM," and he halls from the Winter Garden, New York, where he Is the crowned kin* of fickle and festive Broadway. In the Ave Winter Garden shows which he has appeared he has •ppeared simply as "Que"—the same character In each recurring extravafansa. Hi* Is given a part In each new pfoos the same being a paffo of blanJc yap—1 tor there is no confining Al JolMO to a single line of words and attmtfcma, for, as he lately admitted, 1 hare •polled the plot of every Winter QarAeea ahow In whlah I have ap-

PMrtd." So "Ous" introduces his own wtfgC tdm own jokea and etorlea, and mU In on the atory when he will* do H3s part is never the same tm day another and the number

Moga he alngs depends on the temfe of the audience. Jolson has made tptdar more songs than any dozen JkHAhsa, for nobody Is his equal as •tngvr of seTrttmental and comlo ditties. He has been called an "extraoMtnary personality," the "most Miwuinf man In the world," and Ashton Stevens lately said In the Chicago American: "Al Jolson is a genius—a big word, but not too big when applied to Jolsrjn." Of "Dancing Around,1" all that need be said Is that It Is the Winter Garden's most popular extravagttjiza that It Is the greatsilt "girl show" ever seen that It Is, as the.program says, "a modem musical spectaclo in two acts and twelve scenes that the costuming display is from "dainty to daring" and from "rich to risque that It has a large array of distinguished principals who help to make "Dancing Around" the "mastodon of musical extravaganza." Some of the more Important of the latter are: Frank Carter, Wanda Lyon, Kitty Doner, Harry Clarke, N. Murray Stephen, Zella Call, Fred Leslie, R&e Bowdin, Harry Wardell, Mae Dealy, Harry Wilcox and Jack Carlton.

Week-End Bill at the Hippodrome

The "Six Waterlilies," a swimming and diving act of six young girls, beautiful of face and form, is to be the special feature of the week-end bill at the Hippodrome. The act was one of the features of the New York Hippodrome, which is a tribute to its quality. The girls are a fine collection of aquatic experts, swimming and diving with the abandon and skill of a group of South Sea islanders. The troupe Includes several young women who have established international reputations for their swimming feats.

Willing, Bentley and Willing, a favorite comedy ttrlo with Terre Haute audiences," will be back again with their laughable offering, "Smart Fooling."

A novelty will be offered In the act entitled "The Mystlo Bird," styled "The Canary Caruso," which is presented by Master Paul, the boy violinist. Other numbers ^111 include Mills and Lockwood, "Two Rubes," and WllMam DeHollls and company In a joggling novelty.

Valerie Gerdy Dixie Compton Mrs. Chesney Mame Kelso Frederick Perry, who plays the leading part in "The Family Stain," is one of the moat distinguished actors of the present day. He was for muny years a Broadway favorite, and r.rnon? the many big hits of his career was his wonderful work in "Under Cover." Mr. Perry mado his debut in motion pictures with William Fox. His most notable suocess thus far Is hla work in "Dr. Rameau." Mr. Perry Is one of the most conscientious and forceful workers qn the screen today. Those who have followed his career are more than pleased and delighted with the manner in which 'he has given himself to work in the pictures. Those who have seen and enjoyed "Dr. Rameau," will be. even more pleased with "Tho Family Stain," which also was directed by William S. Davis.

Real Spanish Gypsies

for Fox's "Carmen'

To lend an atmosphere of absolute verity to his widely-acclaimed screen production of "Carmen," in which Theda Bara wins new honors as the fierce and fickle beauty, William Fox sent a personal agent and a photographer to Spain. In native mountain fastnesses and isolated retreats, the man of the camera placed upon his film the people and scenes associated with the story.

Two score real Spanish gypsies were then lured, by the power of American gold, to Mr. Fox's studios in this country. Their picturesque presence and activities were utilized here during the completion of the picture.

They were a source of constant wonder to the "movie" actors. Tho men were strong-limbed, lithe and agile. The older women made their visit an exceedingly profitable cne. They begged, sold all manner of Spanish medicines, Innocuous and otherwise told the fortunes of many lovelorn screen favorites and sold them oharms and love philtres.

Rauol A. Walsh, producer of the picture for Mr. Fox, spent several years of his early life In Spain. He took huge secret enjoyment In witnessing the credulity of his players, Once, overhearing a wrinkled old gypsy muttering In Romany over an eager and wistful star's hand, he confided that she was repeating: "You are aj fool. Ton were born a fool and a tool yoo wffl at*."

Fox People Steal March on Producers of Geraldine aFrrax Picture —Comes to OTand.

The William "Fox film pndnction of "Carmen" with Theda. Bara In tho title role, which has been in preparation for months will bo presented at the Grand soon.

In this -production the Fox people have stolen a march on the Paramount people who also have a costly production of Carmen on view In the larger oities with Geraldine Farrar, the grand opera singer, the star.

Mr. Fox's adaptation of Prosper Merimee's novel has little in common with familiar, conventional operatic and dramatic versions.

Tho true romance of the old Spain, the Spain before the hand-organ took the place of the guitar, permeates

Carmen" throughout. More than a score of acres of land was required upon which to erect "Carmen's" Cordova and Seville.

Victoria Cross Plays

I fire on Their Way

Two Victoria Cross plays are on their way to our stage. One is new and bears tho signature of George Kernard Shaw tho other is some years old and is to have James Kateltaa Hackett, the millionaire, as Its actor. The Shaw play, "Flaherty, V. C.f" has just reached this country In the keeping of Lady Augusta Gregory. She comes to arrange for its production— and to lecture. Tho hero of the play is an Irishman whose bravery in battle wins him his badge of courage. He gets a furlough that he may enjoy the. admiration of the folks at h.imo, but he is so hectored by his domineering wife that he Is glad to make a quick return to the trenches. The play Hackett has taken is "McNeil of McNeil, V. C.," a rornnntlc piece with a Scottish background. In Ilnckett's plans this play Is substituted for William Dovereux' seven-year-old "Henry ot Navarro," which was to have been done in this country as "The Sword Player." It was acted in England by Fred Terry.

THEY ALL DID.

A boy was asked by his Sundayschool teacher to write a short essay on Kllsha, and this is what he brought, next Sunday:

There was a man mined Blislia. He had some bears and he lived 3n a cave. Some boys torment?u him. Jle .said: "If you keep on throwing stones nt me I'll turn tho bears on you and they'll eat you up." And they did, and lie did. and the b^ars did.—New York Globe.

The Star of That Wonderful Feature "DR. RANEAU"

WHO KILLED THE WIDOW LeROUGE?

This is the question calculated to puzzle the brain of evon Sherlock Holmes himself, in the latest and greatest William Fox photoplay, "The Family Stain,' and which is asked and answered with fascinating and thrilling dramatic power in this soreen-play supreme. Suspicion rests upon eix persons—four men and two women. The skein appears to be impossible of unraveling. The tangled web of evidence enmeshes first one and then another of the suspects till the speotator thrills in sympathy with their several predicaments. Not till the very end of this remarkable and noteworthy drama of tho silent stage is the mystery solved in a manner so striking and original in its astonishing denouement that "The Family Stain" has been declared by the metropolitan press to stand in a class absolutely by itself,

TAKE THIS TIP—NEVER MISS A FOX FEATURE.

Through their streets roam pretty grtsettes and proud grandees, dark beauties of the tambourine and the rattling castanet. The azure baths of Cordova, where Don Jose first encountered the audacious flirt Carmen, are accurate in construction and beauty.
