OLIVER There In a treat in store for lovers of good singing when Tom RurKe. the famous Irish tenor given one performance at the Oliver next Sunday evening, Jan. 8. Mr. Rurke has only been in this country a few years coming from England shortly after his great succe.- In grand opera nt the Convent Garden, Ihidon, where he sang leading roles w-lth Mme. Xollle Mclba. and others. Mr. Rurko was born In Ireland and had a hard struggle obtaining a musical education hut he worked In the day time and xtudled mulc at night finally petting recognition from the Choirmaster at Manchester. From there he -went to Ijondon and later to Italy where his, talents were recognized by the great Mascagnl who offered him the principal role In his new opera "La. Ixidoletta." His Kuccess there had its echo In London and the engagement to appear at Convent Garden followed as a natural consequence. Mr. Rurke's advice to sinrrcr.s Ls to work hard at legato singing In the old opern.s "The Rar'ber of Seville," for instance. This may be tedious, but it is his opinion that it i.s best to learn to sing the old music with the right eveness and coloring before embarking on the newer music. He alo believes that Italian Is the only language for Italian music but emphatically prefers to hear Knglish .ung in English operas. Mr. RurkA is married, his wife Is English and a singer and they have on child. Outdoor sports and farming are the hobbles he Inclines to but music !s his ruling passion. ORPHEUM Concluding witli the holiday performances tonight, the present vaudeville bil1 nt the Orpheum is a lively and varied one. Headline 1 imors go to "Rubeville" featuring Harry R.

Sharing headline position on this program are the Rlgdon Dancers, with Grace Fenimore Cooper and tho Newton Twins in grracrful terpMchorean whirls, and Robert .Sherman' playlet, "Pinched," a comedy of the Chicago morals court. This is & tory in which pathos and humor vie with each other, each making the other emotion more appealing. Fred Hughea, the famous Welsh tenor ia on the fame bill, and assisted by Earle Rrown at the piano, offers a new line of tuneful tonga that vlll delight each and everj' muelc lover. John T. Ray and company offer the comedy eklt Check Y our ILat," and is assisted by two clever Juvenile funsters. Coscia ami Verdi, musicians and comedians extraordinary, fill out the bill. The Maxwell Quintet, fivo excellent lingers, harmonists and comedians are topliners on the bill for the last half of tho week starting Thursday afternoon. Each member of tho quintet has a well trained voic and the ensemble singing is particularly full of breezy abandon and informality. The brightest sort of patters runs through the act pre-t-ented by these five entertainers. "Doll Frolics" offering a Journey through joyland. with the McKinley Meters prominently featured, is another popular number on this samo program. The French are a clever people, particularly Is this true of the Gellir, who Introduce a versatile and astonishing series of feats, gymnastic and athletic.

BLACKSTONE It i seldom that one sees a picture so full of contract and m well balanced In regard to dramatic action, comedy, and big spectacular s'ar,f3 n.s "The Single Track." which has a one day showing today. Like all Corinno Grithth production this picture Is out of tho ordinary, both in plot and treatment. Whll' there are sweral foclety scenes In which the dar wears elaborate gowns, it Is not what might be termed a society drama. In the early scenes tho star is introduced a society girl, tho chief attraction at an entertainment wherein dressed to represent Salome, sh dees "The Dance of Seven Veil-." This scene Is exceptionally spectacular, and adds to the comedy of the production by a queer little twit at the end. Subsequent scenes show the star at home, living a life of luxury. Without . warning tho young girl flnd.i herself penniless, save for a mine which 1 not paying dividend, and which Is practically worthless, unless a railroad can be completed at a stated time. Enemies of the girl's father -plot to destroy the rails ns fast as they are in i.i. The brave girl goes to the mine and enters her own employment as clerk In a country store. Here fhe selves the problem of thwarting her enemies', and the the crirl drives a locomotive over the track, saving j the franchise. The most exciting , scene shows a heroine from the cab i of the locomotive shooting a raft t of dynamite to prevent it blowing! up the trestle before the engine can tvt over lt.

Without doubt Miss Griffith does (booked that will attract every persons of her best work in this pro-1 son who likes pictures with fight

In fact, she locks as charming in a plain gingham gown as she does in a priceleys ermlno opera cloak. An excep- . tlonally fine cat su-pports Miss GrifP.th. the list Including such well known names as Richard Travers, Charles Ivent and Sidney Herbert. A clever educational comedy entitled "Reat It." as well as the latest Rathe Review and latest International News are to be seen on the same program. Po you" recall Thome MCghan' ruperb work In "The Miracle Man?" Do vou remember the thrills his nerformance of the role of the mastor crook gave you? Well, he ha. another crook role. In tho fiuperrpecial Paramount production. "The rity of Silent Men" which opens a three day engagement tomorrow. Mr. Meigtian's interpretation in th.s rterllng rpicture adds another virile screen portrait to his gallery of characters. We believe that "The City of Silent Men" will be classed j among th finest pictures or the j - coming year, and that Is saying great deal. Many of the scenes were ro.i in fvnsr Sine, the most fam-: ou9 penitentiary In the world while , others were photographed In the , Criminal Courts Building with its cel-brnted Bridge Of SIchs. Pretty Tois Wilson is Mr. Melghan's leading woman, and she has an unusually capable supporting cast. Tho picture Is based on John Morcso's novel. "The Quarry." and It was directed by Tom Forman. Can we 5ay any r.ir In Ii praise? Tom Moore in "Peatinc tl;e Gamo" Is sohedulM to open a three day enpagrmcr.t r.cxt Thursday, which la a. story with a two fisted punch.
