The piece is the work of sceaal collahorators: Charles Cuillier iind Müton S-"ch warzwald beim; resjun--ihle for the score; Felix hoerman, the book revi.se! and adapted by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorothy Donnelly; and lyrics by Percy Waxman. Anions the most popular musical numbers are "Good Day, Iood Xi'ht," "It's Very Haid to Urin Up Father," "Flora Bella." "You're the Girl," "Iove Is a Dance," etc. A bevy of ood looking sirls and boys make up the charming chorus that can surely siir.' it is claimed. COMK TIIKOUGII' "Come Through." written by George JJronson Howard, will play a four days entitlement Oliver theater starting at the Tuesday Oct. 23rd. It is as tho, title susfrests-, a story of the underworld and it is said to fairly vibrate v.ith thrills. Mr. Howard says he wrote "Come Through" as the result of Itau "ei aim umereni ij pe oi i t'rook legitimate drama or photo- ! l'rrni n ninths," that "he had Ul1 original iu-a in ae pioi. une . . II.. ...1.1. I 11.. ? . 1 . A. X . . of the boys suK-ested that I write j something new. I'.eins burdened with worK, I refused, until one of i the bovs added that he would bet . c H.000, that I couldn't do it. Xow that was a temptation, so the money was put up and I went home. Far into the ninht I pondered and when I was ready to t crawl into bed, I sot it. Like a thunderbolt it came. Instead of the trappel lover pretending to be a burglar, mine should be a histh class buiKlar being forced a-ainst his will to marry a stunning society nirl at midnight, to the amazement of all. What would then happen'.' The idea in the main planted, the plot was simple and "Come' Through" was the result. It st-ems to have come through too, and my dear old friend also came through with the $i,iit"i. Not a bad id:a for me to lay wagers hereafter on what 1 write, what?" "PAI.S PIKST." An important event in the local theatrical world will be the joint appearance here of William Courtenay ami Thomas A. Wise ami their company in the new three act comedy, "Pals First," undei the management of J. Fred Zimmerman, jr. The comedy, which has. for its locale the country immediately adjacent to Nashville. Tenn.. has already been described as a plan of eceeling charm. As for the two stars of "Pahs First," those two splendid actors are disciples of the modern school and each believes in natural effects. P.oth are actual artists, and both have great reserve powers as well as at no time does cither permit ) his emotions to run riot, but al ways carry their scenes with remat kable intelligence. It is their artistic temperament that always illumines and convinces. Fach has combined the intellectual and the physical until they join evenly, thereby making a balance resulting in the perfect actor. "Pals First" comes to the Oliver theater the fore part of November and behind it will be found a remarkable romance of love and adenture. (;ooi ;KACiors annabii,liv "Good Gracious Annabelle," as presented by Arthur Hopkins will be the attraction at the Oliver theater for Monday niuht. "Good Gracious Annabelle" is a delicious comedy by Clare Kummer. The r.uality of the success it has reisterecf, may be surmissed from the fact that it kept New York. Chica1:0 and Boston laughing for one solid j e nr. Mr. Hopkins it is said has given the play an excellent production and a company of players assembled with rare discrimination act in a manner beyond reproach. The play hinges upon the distressful and distressing , impecur.i0u5r.ess of Annabelle, the wife of a "husband somewhere." who seeds her allowance only quarterly, when the needs it everv minute, He is a vague sort of a bewhiskered iusband, who as a cave man

I ...... .

snatched her to his western cave in a tiuht with her father over a mine and released her the next day with an allowance which seems to he insufficient in New York. he has friends who are in the same distress and just as she lind.-; herself hostess at luncheon party, she is evicted from her suite, and unable to pay for the luncheon. :he linls employment as a cook in the home of a wealthy munition maker, who has obtained for $700 Annabelle's two shares of mining stock which means control of her husbands company. Then appears John Kawson who is a miner from the west, complications set in. and when Annahelle has learned to love the straneer for himself and has stolen back the stock she hnds- ' he is her hushand. The play is j pronounced by the critics as one of the best comedies ever written. The company includes many well known P.roadway favorites amonsT whom are Isal elle Dowe, who will be remembered for her ' excellent work in the character of June in the "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" that was used as a starring vehicle [image]

state so graphically depicted in the . stories and hims, he yearns to take : a trip to the land beyond the Hockies and steep himself in encounters with bad men, wicked Indians and all the other terrors of the plains. When the chance conies to satisfy his yearning he togs himself out in regulation cowboy fashion and lands In a town that lont; ago abandoned its frontier habits ami is now a sober civilized community with all the modern improvements. When the native plan a real "wild and wooly" reception for him, to satisfy his wild west craze. a train robbery is anions the diversions on the pro- ; pram. When the fun is interrupted , by a real bad man, who steals the I money and carries off the belle of the town, the chap from the east proves that he knows more about . the west than the dwellers them- i selves and that his correspondence school training is the only genuine sort. He pulls off stunts that must he seen to he believed, and rides, ropes and shoots his way straight into the heart of the abducted maid en and wins the unbounded admiration of the real westerners. Gail Kane, the beautiful dramatic ! rar. wno scored .cucn a success in tf.-.i rl, ort, lri,1e" nt the T.hs.iIIp last week, comes to the same screen on Tuesday in an interesting drama of the great war, entitled "Souls in I Pawn." The difficult task of making a German eirl spy a sympathetic c haracter has been accomplished In tbis Tdrtnre nnd at th same time presents the star in the strongest ,mi y.ct .,t-l- of her entire screen career. The scenes are laid in Pans with the machinations of the German secret service as the background. The girl is savd after being sentenced to death as a spy and the picture ends with her far away from th- hand of Justice and happy in the jove of a good man. Margery Wilson is the attractive player sched iled to appear on Wednesday it: "Mountain Dew." Charles Gunn. well knov locally, is her -'ood-looking leading man in this newest vehicle. On Thursday "The Calendar Girl" is the feature fdm in which Juliette Day is starred.

AT THE CASTLE The pitiful tale of the futility of a woman to live dnwr her past is kilfully and sympathetically told in "The Second Mrs. Tanqufray," the Greater Vitagraph feature shown at the Castle theater today. Confronted after a few brief years of happy married life by a hero of one of her earlier adventures, the beautiful wife of a wealthy and respected citizen ends her life in her boudoir. The man in the case is a young army olficer who comes again into her life "as the accepted suitor of her stepdaughter. This screen story Is adapted from the play of the same name in which Mrs. Patrick Campbell scored such a success several seasons ac;o. In its pictured form Hilda Moore and Sir George Alexander handle the stellar role. Irene Fenwick, starred a season or two ago in the New York production of "The fong of goners", creates a new style of vampire lady in the Castle's feature picture for Monday and Tuesday. This picture which is entitled "The Sin Woman", is based on heredity and has a most interesting allegorical prelude. The story will have a wide appeal for an adult audience and children will not be admitted unless accompanied by parents. The production is in seven reels and closes with the sensational Incident of a woman being tarred and feathered. A lighter form of entertainment on the same program is the two-reel Keystone comedy, "Hula-Hula Land", presenting the famous Keystone bathing beauties as Hawaiian maidens. j Taylor Holmes, remembered by theater-goers for his excellent work in "His Majesty. Bunker Bean", on the legitimate stage recently, will appear at the Castle theater on Wednesday In his first screen characterization entitled "Efficiency Ed- j gar's Courtship". Efficiency plays a large part in everything just now, but even the staur.chest advocates have not attempted to introduce it into matrimony as does the hero of this five-reel film. Mr. Holmes plays the part of a man who has achieved fame in the business world for his efficient business methods. He decides that a wife is a valuable asset and with his usual Oficiency plans a strictly business campaign to win one. The story is ?. screen adaptation of Clarence Buddington Kelland's story which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post, and the result is one of th most amusing and entertaining pictures that has appeared for a long time. Mr. Holmes' acting shows no trace of the screen novice. It is easy and unaffected anl he bids fair to become a popular screen comedienne. "The Burglar", shown for thre days at the Castle theater starting Thursday, is a drama of triumph and disaster culminating in an act of supreme self-sacrifice. It follows the misfortunes of a young chap whose promising career is cut short by the fatal results of a college escapade, and whose life from then on is simply one calamity after another. The story, which is adapted from the play of August Thomas, is excellently fitted to the demands of screen melodrama and has Its best situations emphasized most dramat- ' Ically by very skilful direction. Car- ' lyle Blackwell portrays the title role and little M.idge Evans Is prominent in his support. "DoixG on: BIT."
