BAKALEINIKOFF PLANS HIS SECOND ANNIVERSAR Y

l/v. C. Fields Will Top Cast of ‘Sally of the Sawdust.’ f TTIONSTANTIN Bakaleinikcff, the musical director at the Circle, will celebrate his second anniversary in that position the week starting Sunday, Jan. 3L Asa fitting celebration of this event, Bakaleinikoff will present a musical offering made up entirely of his own compositions. The overture, for want of a better name, he has titled “Anniversary Overture.* * This will h© followed by a cello solo by this brilliant conductor, also his own composition. For the concluding number he has written a symphonic jazz number which is as yet unnamed. As an innovation In the presentation of the overture for this particular week, the entire orchestra will play from the stage of the Circle rather than from the orchestra pit. An accomplishment worthy of note 1 that during the past two years of his association with the Circle, Bakalelnikoff has played close to one hundred overtures without once having to repeat a selection. He has played standard overtures, popular light operas, musical comedy hits and popular medleys. -I- -I- -IFIELDS TO BE ' SEEN AT OHIO W. C. Fields, the famous Ziegfeld <oomedy star, and Carol Dem peter, ■re featured in the leading roles In "Sally of the Sawdust,” the latest production of David Wark Griffith.

Others in the cast are Erville Alderson, Effla Shannon, Charles Hammond, Roy Applegate, Florence Fair and Marie Shotwell. t Under new conditions, away from the old Mamaroneck studios, Griffith has made another picture which shows the high and low places of life. It is filled with pathos and humor and has been ranked by critics among the six best' pictures of the year. "Sally of the Sawdust” presents Fields in the funny role of a side-

The action all takes place within a space of four days and nights—action packed with adventure, & hectic love affair, and a Bolshevistic uprising in which a throne is overturned.
