NEXT WEEK AT THE S HEATERS

MURRAY. I Murray patrons have six of the best acts of the season awaiting them the coming week, according to advance Information, and the advice should not be wrong as they all come from the larger city houses where nothing but the better class of vaudeville Is presented. The place of honor, the firsthalf will go to The Five American Girls who present an Instrumental and singing act of exceptional merit. All Ave girls are finished artists, but their biggest hit is said to be their Baxaphone number which Is about the "Jazziest" musical concoction Imaginable. These girls are Immense hits upon every bill they appear and Richmond will doubtless fall for their seductive tones. In slang - parlance "Yon ain't heart nothln yet" until you hear The Four Harmony Kings, four classy colored artists in evening dress who are the season's sensation of the vaudeville world. These boys are funny, and they can sing, in fact they are so good that Frank Holland Is holding them over all week, and this fact must be evidence that they have something out of the ordinary. Lovers of close harmony and comedy go every day to hear these boys. They are genuine hits and should prove a "riot" here where quartet singing is appreciated. Degnon and Clifton will also be on the bill with one of the cleverest "surprise" acts of the season. Fron the opening number until they finish their act, the audience is astounded by the series of surprises

presented by this clever duo. That greatest of American character actors, Frank Keenan will appear on the screen In "False Code" which is said to reflect Keenan at his finest. On form and advance reports, this bill and picture should form one of the best

bills ever presented in Richmond for

the admission price. In a larger city

it would command a dollar top price

Headlining the bill opening Thursday

comes Frear, Baggott and Frear in their full stage novelty offering with special scenery entitled "BaseBall Idiosyncrasies." This act is a standard bin-time offering and are making their first appearance here Thursday. The Four Harmony Kings will still be retained this half also, being heard In

an entire new repertoire of songs.

Fred Lewis who was a big hit last

week In Indianapolis wlh his comedy Qulbs and parodies, will complete the

bill. The pictorial feature gives promise of being fully as strong as the vaudeville for E. K. Lincoln in a

Ralph Ince production entitled "Virtuous Men" has been secured for the last

half. This photoplay has proven a

sensation In the cities. For the entire week the admission to all the lower floor "vvlll be forty cents, with the balance of the house and matinees

remaining at the, usual prices. This

Includes tax.

MURRAY. You have heard of insurance pirates? The particular kind we have reference to are those who take old vessels, rebuild them with Inadequate machinery, and then bribe the port Inspector to pass them as seaworthy. Loaded with a heavily Insured fake cargo, they are sent out to sink in mid-ocean, and the pirates cram their pockets with their Ill-gotten money. Frank Keenan's latest picture, "The False Code' Is a story built by Mrs. Kate Korbaley around the plot of such pirates to enmesh an innocent man. But the man swore vengeance and got it. "The False Code" is a thriller tt gives Mr. Keenan one of those virile roles that have endeared him to a large number of picture fans. This picture, however, is not merely a "vehicle" for Mr. Keenan, but a rattling good story of plot and counter plot. It will be shown at the Murray theatre next Monday. MURRAY. Juanita, the "Spitfire" and queen of the dance-hall In "Heart of Juanita," at the Murray theater, was . Jim Brandt's woman. Fiery-tempered, warm-hearted, vibrating with life and

with alluring personality, the Castillan girl was the Idol of the hornyhanded miners who made the dancehall their rendezvous. But Juanita danced for only , one man the man she loved Jim Brandt. She would have danced on hot coals for her man, domineering and ruth

less brute that he was, for she loved him. "Young lady," remarked the whiskytippling preacher, "don't ye realize thet ye're headin straight fer hell?" "Maybe I am, you hypocrite," replied Juanita, "but I don't use religion to cover my sins." A fluffy-haired, doll-faced blonde came down from San Francisco, and Brandt had a weakness for blonds. Juanita had warned Brandt that she would kill him if he ever forgot that he belonged to her, and she did her best to carry out her threat, but the

knife slipped and Brandt lived to come

back and beg for another chance.

But true love, for a real man had

come to Juanita, when Calvert, the

young trapper, gave her refuge from the infuriated mob.

What happened in the lone moun

tain cabin of the trapper when Calvert

found Juanita defending herself from the Infuriated dance-hall boss, provides a gripping and thrilling climax to a colorful drama of the early California days. Beautiful Beatriz Michelena nlavs

Juanita, 'a role that gives this splendid emotional actress many oppor

tunities for displaying a vivid and vital dramatic art. MURRETTE. Of all the fine characterizations which marks Constance Binney's screen creation of Barnabetta, the forlorn little heroine of "Erstwhile Susan," perhaps the two highest points are reached when she depicts the girl on the occasions of her first kiss and her first laugh. Here are the two. rarest and most-to-be-treasured moments in the life of any girl budding into the flower of maturity, and Miss Binney fairly carries the spec-

tator away by the finesse and reality of -these moments in "Erstwhile Susan," her first picture as a motion pictures tar, and which will come to the Murrette theatre Saturday and Sunday. The preciousness of . these two

events was emphasized, in the case of Barnabetta, since she had lost her mother at birth and' the drugery imposed on her by a stern father and two loutish brothers left neither time no inclination for laughing or kissing. When her father married again, he chose Juliet Miller erstwhile Susan because she seemed properly meek and had a tidy little fortune; but Juliet surprised them all. She became absolute mistress of the house and turned the old order topsy-turvy. Most Important of all, however, was

the change she effected in Barnabetta'B life. It was the stepmother who gave Barnabetta the first kiss she had ever received; it was the stepmother, too, who taught Barnabetta how to laugh. Constance Binney brings to the screen not only rare beauty, wlstfulness, wholesomeness and a high degree of artistry and talent, but what Is of far greater value every charm that has made the American girl preeminent throughout the world. RICHMOND. "Checkers," the spectacular picture made by William Fox, which opened at the Fichmond theatre yesterday, Is even better as a picture than it was as a stage play. Much of the action occurs outdoors, and Director Richard

Stanton took full advantage of the situation to make his exterior not only elaborate, but perfect in detail. The story tells of a Southern beauty who falls in love with Checkers, the race tout. He grooms a horse owned by the girl for a rich stakes, and in getting the horse to the race track, encounters tremendous difficulties. His chase leads from the south to New York and through Chinatown. At the last minute, Just before the race is to start, the jockey is maliciously blinded, and the young girl rides the horse to victory. It is one of the most stirring pictures in every respect seen here in some time. The all star cast headed by Thomas J. Carrigan and "Jean Acker give an evenly balanced performance.

A man may be a born genius, but If he will not exert himself, he can achieve little.
