"Follies of Pleasure," With Blondes anf Brunettes on a Fifty-Fifty Basis, Is Today's Offering.

"The Follies of Pleasure," which comes to the Grand this afternoon for a"three days' engagement, is billed as half blondes and half brunettes and the management assures us that the beauty chorus of thirty charming women will consist of assorted shapes and sizes, thus permitting every patron to feast his eyes upon the particular standard of feminine loveliness that his fancy craves.

Nor was beauty the only quality that the management of "The Follies of Pleasure" aimed to secure for their famous burlesque organization. It has "within its ranks enough talented principals to equip two ordinary organizations of this character. Chief among the fun makers is Clyde J. Bates, the comedian Tom McKenna, the dope Dot Leighton, the Parisian fashion plate, whom nature has blessed with an extraordinary voice Violet Hilson, a perfect counterpart of Fritzi Scheff, and others: The bill embraces the sensational musical farces entitled "The Girl From Broadway," and "The

Hotel Cabaret," the former giving a correct snap shot of local life, and the latter giving a glimpse of the gay go-ings-on at famous midnight restaurants.

During the action of both comedies, thirty exceedingly catchy song-hits will be introduced by the entire company, affording the ladies ample .opportunities to display some magnificent wardrobes especially designed for "The Follies of Pleasure" by Paquin and Gallo, of Paris, and Klaw and Erlanger and Furman, of New York. Two carloads of elaborate scenery and electrical effects will give a sumptuous setting in keeping with the character of the entertainment to be provided.

Miss Billie Burke Now a Vegitarian

The pretty $4,000 per week star of ''Gloria's Romance," the latest motion picture novel from the pens of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes,, rarely eats meat of any sort. "Why-? Well, for one thing she doesn't lj|te it particularly and she has learned bi experience that it is neither very necessary nor very healthful. But fruits and vegetables of nearly every variety are quite a different matter. Miss Burke recommends them highly to those seeking beauty, and declares they are both wholesome and healthful. If living on certain foods produces certain effects, many may be inclined to believe that the fair Billie exists on puree of rosepetals, or lilies glace, so fair and clear are her eyes and complexion. Would you be healthy? Then eat fruits and vegetables and\ drink lots and lots of water. Would you be beautiful? Then eat fruits and vegetables and drink lots and lots of water. This is Billie

Purke's creed and by this she has ruled her life. That she has benefited everyone who has' seen her can testify.

"Passers By" Comes to the Crescent

Charles Cherry is the star in the Equitable film version of C. Haddon Chambers' play, "Passers By," which will be shown at the Crescent Monday. Briefly told the story is as follows

Peter Waverton, wealthy and scholarly bachelor, finds pleasure in seeking out odd types. They are the "Passers-By" of his solitary but luxurious life. Returning from his fiancee's home one bitter, stormy evening he brings into the shelter of his library two tramps and "Nighty" a night-hawk cabman. Waverton's butler discovers an unconscious woman on the door step and carries her into the house. The woman is Margaret Summers, whom Peter loved years before. From this point the story of "Passers-By" is a series of astonishing climaxes and swift action. It culminates in a scene that for virile fore® has seldom been approached on the shadow-stage.

A COMPLETE ANSWER.

"The most complete answer I ever heard to a simple question," says William Farnum, the William Fox star, "was that which a guide made while I was on a stage-coach trip in California some time ago. We were on a narrow road, which had an abrupt mountain side rising on the one hand and a sheer precipice, hundreds of feet high, dropping on the other. "The seeker after knowledge turned to the guide and said: 'Do people drop off this cliff often?' "The guide took another draw at his pipe and replied: 'Naw, jes' one®.'

NEW STJBATT PICTURE.

By permission from Warden Osborne, several hundred feet of film were made at Sing Sing last week, for some scenes in a new William Fox photoplay starring Valeska Surratt, under Director Will S. Davis. The men in the institution watched the work interestedly, as many Fox pictures have been shown cn the prison screen. They and War den Osborne told the players how appreciative they were of the reels which Mr. Fox has donated In the past for the men's entertainment.

BUM MADE FILM AT AMERICAN TODAY

"The Bail Rider" Tells of the Struggles of a Small Bailroad Operated From New York.

The struggles of a small railroad, run by capitalists in New York, and domineered by a man who is attempting to ruin the road, is the basic plot of "The Rail Rider," the William A. Brady World Film corporation feature which will be shown at the American today only. House Peters plays the leading role, assisted by Zena Keefe, Blending a sweet love story with the story of financial intrigue and railroad life, Maurice Tourneur has succeeded in making this play one of unusual interest, and a worthy successor to "The Cloised Road."

When Mr. Brady announced his decision to take charge of the productional end of the World Film corporation, and not put his name on a feature unless it really was a feature very few people versed in the theatrical business, figured that this leading light of stagecraft would plunge right into the work and devote'hls time and energy to pictures. Nevertheless, that is pust what Mr. Brady has done. Every day in the week, and sometimes Sundays, William A. Brady is in the World film studios, coat and hat oft, working as. hard as any director, player or scene shifter. Mr. Brady personally directed "The Rail Rider." Monday's feature at the American is "The Law Decides," with Owen Moore, Bobby Connelly and other popular players.

For Wednesday a promised, the second Billie Burke serial, mance," and the Vitagraph photoplay, "The Secret of the Swamp." For Thursday and Friday "The Daring of Diana," a Vitagraph photoplay, with Anita Stewart, has been booked

THE FASHION SHOW, ON THE DILL AT THE HIPP THIS WEEK.

One of these rare animals was brought to American shores recently, together with a renegade priest from the sacred fastnesses of Haram, by white hunters who had been touring Arabia and Africa for big game.

The story of the priest, as translated, and the remarkable experiences of the hunters, read like a chapter from the Arabian Nights of old.

A party of white hunters, in wheh were J. C. Callahan, Major Archibald Montagne, late of the Staffordshire infantry Robert Stanley, Hans Zimmerer, Adolf Hochmeyer and Frank Wlnforest, had sailed over the Red sea landing on the coast of Raz-el-EGadd. and made their way over the desolate Hed-Jaz-Yemen mountains, roused the blistering blast-furnace of Danha, traveling past the city of Mecca and into the sun-seared stretches of Hareek. While encamped at an oasis one night, the hunters were awakened by the arrival of an Arab in the flowing burnouse of the Wahhabee priesthood.

The priest, mounted on a black camel, staggered into the camp and was given refuge. The hunters were intensely interested, because they realized that by rare good fortune the long-supposed mythical black camel spoken of years ago by Pycraft, Hornaday, Burgeolse and others as existing in Arabia, had come to them.

Commander Callahan, being a friend of A1 G.

Barnes, owner of the wild

animal circus, which comes to Terre Haute for two performances Tuesday, cabled the latter, who secured the promise of the priest to remain with Barnes, together with the sacred dTomedary, until such time as arrangements might be made for the return of Omm-el-Ibl to the Wahhabees on the stipulation that Mahomet Kahn shall be spared his life. The priest and sacred dromedary were brought to Venice, California. Mahomet Kahn, aided by two other Arabs, Abbas Alle and Hassan Alle, care for the mother of camels as tenderly as they would an infant, permitting no alien hand to touch the sacred black dromedary. Each morning and evening, despite the gaze of the curious, Mahomet Kahn casts pure water before the camel and kneels in worship to his Allih-sent charge.

Thus, in a strange, mysterious way, the assertions of explorers long since dead have been proven and their veracity vindicated.

Alice Fisher and Louise Dresser divided honors on a page devoted to art in the Chicago Journal one day last week. Which was a high compliment to Terre Haute's output of theatrical stars.

"The Century Girl" is the title selected for the musical piece to be given at the Century theatre, New York, now under the direction of Charles B. Dillingham and Flo Ziegfeld.

Owing to the quick failure of the Edward Clark farce, "Coat Tales," Miss Louise Dresser is back in vaudeville. She wis last week's headliner at the Majestic.

Miss O'Neil played this ijreat part SQ, long and carried.it.to such triumphant heights in the world of stage art, that it has almost become a part of her.

To this remarkable production of j'} "The Sorceress" will be added allvof"'" the unusual situations and surround.-. ings that it\is possible to get into, a picture and so impossible to get ^on the real stage. Mr. Frank Powell, director, spared no time nor expense In order to turn out the most finished production possible on the screen

Vil-

lages were built, forests were blown'tip" With dynamite, great battle scenes^ were put on at an unlimited expense, and months were consumed in rehearsals and filming the varfouil| scenes.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Triangle feature "Hell' to Pay Austin," with Wilfrea Lucafi Bessie Love, Ralph Lewis and- Mary" Alden, will be shown. Austin is vthO' boss of a big lumber camp in thfr S northwest. He is known as "Hell-to-Pay'*" because, when his orders are not. carried out, that is exactly what hap-
