DEMILLE PLAY RETURNS FOR ANOTHER WEEK ’ Jack Pickford Comes in O. Henry Story—Wallace Reid on Bill.. MOVIE PROGRAM VARIED A child actor, a cowboy who was once a feature of the “Follies,” Mary Miles Minter, Jack Pickford, the return of "Why Change Your Wife ?’’ will afford some of the novelties of next week’s film offerings on the local screen. One of the most unusual events of the week will be the return engagement of “Why Change Tour Wife?” at English’s, after playing a three weeks’ consecutive engagement at that house a short time ago. The entire movie menu for next week looks mighty inviting. -I- -ICOW PCXCHEB HERO GOES INTO THE DRAMA. Our friend. Will Rogers, the lariatthrowing comedian and cow puncher, has now gone into the heavy stuff and will be seen at the Circle next week In ‘‘Jes Call Me Jim.” Will Rogers, in “Jes Call Me Jim,” is a backwoods hunter and trapper who has a sort of hankerin’ for the village milliner and as a result is a frequent customer at the little country shop. All the hats purchased are for! mother." and as he expresses it "mother is terrible hard or hats." when the little ; milliner question* him on the frequent purchases. But there isn't any mother at all and the hats r°pose In a closet, a silent memento to a ureat unspoken love. Jim believes that Miss Butterworth, the milliner loves another and true to his principles won't “horn in." An Interesting story develops about these central characters with a cruel hearted capitalist who is trying to ruin a young inventer whom Jim thinks is the sweetheart of the girl he adores. The supreme sacrifice comes when Jim feels duty bound to assist In overcoming their enemy and lays all plans for the wedding, only to receive the shock of his bashful life when he learns the truth. Will Rogers' little son Jimmie plays an Important part in the picture. The bill will include a Ilnrold Lloyd comedy, “High and Dizzy." JACK PICKFORD IN AN O. HENRY STORY.

Vaudeville’s position In the entertainment world has not been, affected so much by the Inroads of the movies in the public favor a* that of the legitimate stage. It appesr* to the observer. There Is a- constant shifting of stars from tbe legitimate atage to the movies, the movies to the legitimate and from the legitimate to he vaudeville stage. One of the best examples of this continual shifting Is the triumphal return t >ra Bayes from the musical comedy stage to vaudeville. Miss Bayes was seen here last season at the Mprat In “Ladles First" and this w-eek she is in her second record-break-ing week at tba Palace, the leading features next week on the closing bill of the summer vaudeville seat -a Sat that bouse. , J. C. Lewi* and company will present a' sketch called “Billy’s Santa Claus.” The remainder of the bill Includes Buckridge Casey and company In “Flowers and the Girl"; - Cramer, Barton and Sparkling; Gates and Finley i. . •- In "The Instrucf ter"; Williams and Bernle. tramp YVeber. romerteiang, and Y the Digest' Topics. The summer vaudeville season will close July. IS to enable extensive repairs to be made at Kith*'.

vaudeville house in New York City. Kitty Gordon, after a disastrous season on tbe legitimate atage, Is now in vaudeville in an effort to recuperate her losses of the.past season. She Is considered “sure fire" on the vaudeville stage, although Kitty caused a sensation by accidentally shooting an acrobat while at the Palace in Chicago several weeks ago. Valesku Suratt Jumps from the legitimate stage to vaudeville with comparative ease by boiling down a stage play to come within the time limit of the variety stage. The divine Sarah Bernhardt has often used vaudeville to exhibit her wonderful talent3, and if all goes well she will trod the two-a-day In this country next fall. Joseph Santiey and his charming wife flits successfully from the musical comedy stage to the variety footlights. With the cabaret losing much of Its drawing power with Its patrons sipping soft drinks, vaudeville has seen an inereas In Its ranks. Vaudeville will remain for all times one of the comlnatlng factors in the amusement world, and the legitimate stage will continue to lose some of its celebrities and at the same time welcome back those who strayed from the fold for a fling before the movie camera. It’s about time that some male movie stars leagn that a forced smile and curly hair will not make a poor story a good movie. The public Is demanding good stories as well ns good acting. It requires both to make a movie appeal these days, snd the mere name of a star falls to put over a weak story.
