ADJUSTMENTS

joe Cohen has received cable from
San Francisco announcing that the
Charles Orc musical comedy and yaude-
vile company viii arrive here on the
Alameda for an indefinite season of
musical stock productions at the Or
pheum. The company brings a chorus
with It. An excellent series Of mov-
ing picture films has been secured by
Cohen from the Independent Film ser
vice. These films are very different
from anything that has ever been seen
here before, says Cohen. The engage
ment viii open a week from Monday.
The two fancy roller skaters who
will open Cohen s new skating rink
will also arrive on the Alameda.
A Fools Revenge.
Mereutio, in the Fool s Revenge,
Pathe picture, viii be seen in coniunc-
ton with the Wolf Hunt at the Park
Theater tonight. It is one of the best
films made by this firm and he cnar-
aeters were assumed on the stage by a
French troupe Of more than ordinary
ability. The costuming is superb and
the parts carried out with the same
fidelity that characterized the produc-
ton in the Booth Company. That it
will be well received goes without say
ing. It is smooth of construction and
powerful in dramatic action. It is the
story of Rigolesto applied to motion
pictures, the clear facial expression re-
minding one of the acting Of the
world s best actors. The gestures are
intensely suggestive and the pose of
characters are as near perfection as
can be imagined.
A touch of the legitimate drama,
after the departure of the gentleman
who so ably reeited some of it here,
is timely. In conjunction with this
film viii be shown several of the come
DIV sort and the great Wolf Hunt, a
picture that must long Hnger in the
memory of those who were privileged
to see it. The song program viii be
extended and will include a number
of new ones by the Melnotte sisters
and George Milne This will provide
entertainment of the right sort where
there is no offensive tobacco smoke to
interfere with the comfort and pleasure
of ladies.
Art Theater.
Manager Lawson, of the Art, is au.
thority for the assertion that the i'm
print. of Pathe Freres upon an NJ. p.
film is a guarantee that it is of the
very best, because these manufacturers
have attained to the highest standard
in the business. The feature film Sc
lected for today's program at this the
alter comprises two films. In the first
one. entitled "The Mesmerizer you
get not only an intensely dramatic
manifestation of the marvellous results
obtained from the occult powers of
mesmerism, dastardly murder being
discovered and traced directly to the
perpetrator of the crime by the daugh-
ter Of the victim, she being the medium
employed by the hypnotist, but the
most exacting of critics will find the
beautiful scenery and stage settings
quite up to his ideals from an esthetic
standpoint. In "Grotesque Figures =
you have the epitome of what may be
accomplished by so-called trick
photography. This film is very riot
of eolors. In addition there is the
usual assortment of pictures serious,
instructive and comic, and the inter
walls are relieved from tedium by the
splendid vocal and orchestra selections
rendered on the magnaphone, which is
becoming very popular with the Art
patrons.
