When originally produced in New York a fw sa.ons aso with Montgomery & Stone an tho Ftars, "Chin Chin' wan the reijrninK :ict anions: musical romi-dies. It jrni.iined in (Joihum for an unusually Ions; period arid then was seen in but a few jtif-T on tour. iJefore the dale for Montgomery A: Stone ( lay it a:de for another production arrived, Daid Montgomery died and Fred Stone continued in ;t for only a short period. Now Mr. Stone, a lone t-tar. is enormously 'icce.vsful in "Jack O Ivintern." That attraction, like 'Chin Chin" Uith Ixiyje & Dixon, is under the management of Charles It. Dillingham. A-dle from Doyle & Dixon, who were popular in vaudeville, having suc.t-eded to the parts played by Montgomery & Stone, there are not rnajiy changes In "Chin 'hin." The production has been kept up to the Dillingham standard, which is a positive guarantee lur hiffh excellence. "Chin Chin" music became popular pH over the. country long before ti:? musical comedy left New York. Its tunes arc extraordinarily catchy, ite-ports from various cities show that Doyle t Dixon as successors for Montgomery o Stone have more than reached expectation and that the r.ttraction in its entirety is such as to surely please those who po to fc it.

There had been numerous reports that owing to transportation difficulties, few if any, of the big tent shows would go out this summer. That statement appears to have been entirely errorcous, for all of them are preparing for tours. Klngling brothers are to open at the Coliseum in Chicago ("."tli annual treason) .Saturday, April 20, proceeding from there to St. Louis, Mo., and likely coming to South Dcnd before next fall. "Leave It to Jane." the musical comedy based on "The College Widow," is the biggest kind of a hit at the DiSalle theater in Chicago, it is more than duplicating attendance records hung up by "Oh ioy." and they were decidedly unuual. The William Favervham-Maxine Llliott-Maclyn Arhuekle-Irene Kenwick all-star cast in "Ixird and Uidy Algy" is announced for Washington. D. C. It will likely be seen im South Hend following the Chicago ngagerncnt.

production of "Chin thin" with IoOV and I)ion at flic Oliver theater

Van Curler Ja.st night. It Is certain every one in the big auditorium, and there were rows of "standees" downstairs and a packed top gallery, laughed until he cried at the silly performance of the circus riding. The whole show was a genuine delight. It is doubtful if a more thoroughly enjoyable musical comedy program was ever given in this city. The deservedly popular "Chin Chin" music was splendidly given. The dancing which was excellent in itself teemed to add to the charm of the music Every one knows of the wonderful work of Montgomery and Stone in this comedy which was theirs, but the sad ending of the happy partnership has not deprived theatergoers of the privilege of seeing this performance and the parts very well done. James Doyle and Harland Dixon have made a wonderful study of the amusing pair and with great cleverness of their own and special gifts of dancing, they pleased the audience so greatly probably even those who knew the inimitable Montgomery and Stone found Doyle and Dixon to be excellent understudies and entirely satisfactory In the parts. Aladdin and his lamp, toys coming to life, Teddy bears dancing and similar things give the watcher the feeling of taking part in a good" fairy tale and the recall of the Teddies for more of their amusing dance Is expressive of the sort of fun one has through the play.

There will bo an initial performance this afternoon of "The AnKelus," a vital and human drama. It is the story of the tight between two biK men. one from the city who cannot understand the quiet peace of a small town, and the other a big man who lias been made hig by the influence of his village birth place. The rlnpinp of the Angelus belli have a great deal to do with the plot of the play. Father O'Hrian has this bell rung three times a day, that all the villagers miRbt take a moment to think of higher things. And it is the ringing of the bell that prevents a crime from being committed and rings out happiness in the same breath. There are a number of novel features during the production of the famous picture, "The Angelus." Mr. Williams has planned a b:K scenic production of this play aid the company will be cast to the best possible advantage. Miss Tiny Leone and Mr. Richie will be seen in the roles of two young people to whom the course of true love is any but a straight

road. There will be a matinee on i tomorrow s

Sunday and Tuesday with a final performance Wednesday night.

LASALLE

"Down to L'arth" is the title of today's five-reel picture at the LaSalle theater. Douglas Fairbanks, a joy in any role and the type of actor that sends the spectator away from the theater better satisfied with himself and the world, is the star and in this comedy drama has a role particularly suited to hipleasing mannerism. In it he portrays the role of a courageous youth who smuggles the patients of a "fake" sanitarium aboard his yacht to avoid a pretended smallpox quarantine. Taking them to a supposed desert island, he puts them through a rigid course. of training and the result is both funny and interesting. Mingled with this unique plot is a very pretty love story and abundant comedy opportunity for the star. Heroic, wonderful and thrilling are the only words that describe

The screen version shown at the LaSalle Tuesday with Alice Brady in the leading: role is promised as one of the most remarkable drama-s ever shown through the medium of the camera and its action is described as swift, straight and direct like the stah of a blade in the dark. The story in brief deals with the life of a younic southern girl who falls into the hands of a gang of white slavers, and the unique, but adequate revenge of her surgeon lover. The production is an elaborate one and in it Miss Brady does excellent emotional work. Another episode of the great patriotic i-erial, "A Daughter of Uncle Sam." is also on the bill. Little Barbara Connelly, a new re-

also prominent in the supporting cast. This latter star is still recalled by those who saw her iti Uex Beach's "Auction Clock." Dorothy Phillips, Bluebird's most beautiful leading woman, is tomorrow's featured player at the Castle in a story of back-stage life tailed "Broadway Love." The story, which is an adaptation of W. Carev Wonderly's "The Great White Way," is an exceptionally good one and deals with th adventures of a somewhat "different" chorus girl, who entangled in the swift pace of Broadway's night life, finally wins happiness and contentment with a very desirable husband. William Stowell and Lon Cnaney lend their support. The Castle's serial shown every week on Monday is aXtracting widespread attention on account of its patriotic theme. Entitled "The Kagle's Eye," it possesses interest beyond others of its type, because the chief incidents are founded on facts supplied by William J.

A scenic novelty entitled "The Fountain of Love" is given headline honors on the new bill of vaudeville which opens at the Orpheum theater today. This is a girl act which features Frankie Kelsey and a beautv chorus of iimrp

than ordinary singing and dancing ability. Two versatile entertainers ! are Silber and North, and for many ! seasons past they have found favor! with Orphcum patrons. This sea-; yon a new comedy skit entitled j "Bashfoolery" is their offering, which is said to be full of laughable j lines and situations. Kingsbury and ! Munson in a unique sketch entitled I "The Devil in Possession." Kay !

and I ay, Italian character artists in "The Wop's Busy Day," and Selbini and Grovlni in "Follies of Vaudeville" round out the excellent bill. Prominent v featured on the bill for the last half of the week is a musical comedy production from the reliable tirm of Pepple and Greenwald. These enterprising managers have "been responsible for many of the musical comedy hits that have been presented at the Orpheum and now offer their "1918 Song and Dance Revue." A long list of talented entertainers provide new and snappy amusement and prominently featured are Kathryn McConnell. Ford Handford and Toots McConnell. The latter is a petite and charming dancer with a

captivating manner and original

steps. In contrast to this lighter entertainment and affording pleasing variety on the bill will be seen Henry Keane and company in the miniature comedy drama, "The Unexpected." Xeal Abel, known from coast to coast as one of the most
