New York. Oct. 1-viola Allen. John Drew and Sam Bernard have greeted the Hudson Fulton celebrating visitors with hands open for dollars in the new g-aises of nun who desires to break her vow of virginity and take those of a bride in 'srhe White Sister," q composite of Beau Brummell and Don Juan who grabs at all the pretty women in "Inconstant George" and an old alchemist who tries to acquire . young wife in 'The Girl and the Wi sard.' As ever, the dramatists are tell '-4xsg love stories
 If you were girl passionate1y in love with a soldier who went away to to war and was killed: if in your agony of grief you turned to religion for consolation and took the ceIibate vow of a nun; if then your lover came back alive and asked you to keep your belhrothal to him. what would you dor Such case you may have read in Tie White Sister," a novel written by F.

NEW SHOW HOUSE FOR
 MAJESTIC THIS WEEK

The shows offered to the theatre going public by the Majestic manage ment will take place at the theatre formerly known as the Bijou. which has been remodelled in it's entirety, and now ranks with the best in the country. The lobby has been entirely rebuilt, and fitted with every con- venience. The entrance is fairly flooded with light, giving a welcome at every approach.
 The interior calls forth repeated admiration. Everything has been re- finished and rebuilt. so that there is nowhere any want for better. The decorations and draperies are used to the best advantage. so much so. that everything is in perfect harmony.
 One of the innovations will be a ladies cloak room, with a maid in constant attendance. fitted with all care.
 The shows offered at the new play house will be the best obtainable, some the highest priced acts on the vaude- vile stage today, having been booked by the management.
 The new box office will open every morning from 10 o'clock. Daily mati- nees will be given for the especial benefit of ladies and children. at 3:30 every afternoon, and usual night per formances at s:30.

efforts in her chosen line of work never fail to be appreciated.
 All patrons remember more or less the offering of George Austin Moore, who made such a hit last season. The only artist who approaches his work in any way at all Is Dick Miller, dialect comedian of the first water. Miller's act Is very similar to the one of the celebrated Moore. but his satire of young lady singing Love Me and The World is Nine" beats anything ever heard on a local stage.
 Last, but not least are Pero and Wilson, Jugglers and acrobats of note, they offer an act, which Is filled with the now again so popular pantomine Pero is Juggler and acrobat far above the average, and Miss Wilson. has a pleasing stage appearance, and this team Is styled with the very best In their line.
 The motion pictures to be offered during the coming week are the output of the most renowned factories of to- day, and 1t goes without saying that they certainly will be well liked.

At The Majestic Theatr~ ]
 Vaudeville.

According to all advance notes and press comments received by Manager Couch, the opening bill for his new theatre. (formerry the Bijou) will be . top notcher. '---
 The headliner Is said to be one of the most beautiful offerings on the Southern vaudeville stage. The five Columbians present an act which ahounds in mirth and melody. together with gorgeous costumes, swell scenery, and excellent music.
 Christmas at Higgins. is the title of rural comedy sketch, in which will be introduced a decided novelty to southern theatre goers. The theme Is that of an old farmer and his wife longing for the return of their child. who Is an operatic singer on one of the Paris stages. In their dreams they see their daughter singing before a large audience in a opera house of Paris. At this point there is intro- duced grand transformation scene, showing the daughter singing in a large theatre at Paris. The young lady has a sweet voice and will no doubt make a great hit with her sing ing alone.
 As no really first class vaudeville bill is quite complete without a black face act, the management has provid- eu TOT same m the shape or the always gladly welcomed Billy Beard, the party from the South. as this particular ex- ponent of minstrelsy chooses to bill himself. Being born and raised in the South he possesses a negro dialect quite rare with performers of this sort, and therefore endears himself especial " to southern ~ theatre-goers. MT Beard has been with the greatest and best minstrel shows of the country. and therefore is one of the successes of vaudeville.
 Joe LaFleur in company with his Mexican Chihauhau dogs, offers an en- tire1y different act from anybody else. He does some sensational ladder balancing, turns triple somersaults from the top of lofty ladder. Ills contortion and equilibrium work ranks with the very best in this line. MT. LaF1eur has just completed very ex- sensive tour over the Orpheum Circuit, meeting with distinct success.
 Representations are among the more common offerings of vaudeville, but rarely. if ever is to be seen such as Miss Toma Hanlon offers. Her work Is not unlike that of Vesta Tilly or Claire Romaine. An artiste from the top of her petite head to her toes. her

"The Introuder'' seems to have confused It's writer with his own complexity of plot. Be. sides the antiquities of the wives, there Is an old hatred between the husbands also. the son o fthe one, acted by Cyril Scott, and the daughter of the other one, are lovers; moreover, the second wife was once betrothed to this chap now a wooer of her stepdaughter; and the motives criss-cross alsd zig-zag un- til the play doesn't know whether it wants It's audience to gieve or to grin A piece that might be good Is very rarely so bad; and I doubt if com- pany ever went to bed more content. edly after a first performance to wake up for a perusal of harsher condemn ation.

 The potential episode is meIodrama straight and strong. The first and second acts have shown the white sis ter on duty at a hospital. where her supposedly dead solder lover is as- founded to find her in the garb of a nun. Her determination to keep her oath as a pious recluse has not been overcome by his stubborn insistence that she quit the order and marry him.

Take Off the Fat
 Where It Shows

Most women sufer much humilfa tion because of great quantities of fat so located that, no matter how they dress, everybody sees that they are abnormal. This Is the day of the slender figure, and Tat women are simply not tolefat- cd either In business or social affairs. women may not know It. but men when they see a fat woman pass them on the street or in public places make about her. They do not mean to be unkind or to seem unmanly, but 1t iz natural for a man to dislike fat on a. woman. Where fat shows the most there Is where 1t must be removed, and as quickly as possible. This seasons dresses seem to be made for the fat woman's misery and the slender wo- mans delight They expose all the charms of woman and her ugliness as we'll. Exercise and diet will not re- move fat. This has been proved. The !emous Marmola prescription which has met with such phenomenal suc- cess and has so many of our society women as Its sponsors. Is now being sold in tablet form to meet the de- mand of the public for this style of treatment. These little tablets go into your system just like food. They paratus from producing fat and reduce the fat upon the body at the rate of Nom 12 to 15 ounces day. They are harmless and can be carried in your purse and taken even after you have fndulged in a hearty meal away from home. They are sold at all drug stores at 75 cents a case, or if you prefer you may write the Marmola Company Dept 21o Detroit Mich.

The woman who becomes a second wife while the mans first wife lives around the corner with second hus- band and a young girl goes to and fro between mother and stepmother, Is likely to be called hard names. The title of a new play specifies her rather politely, though, as an intruder" The intruding woman and the repulsing girl agitate the talk until 1t comes to an altercation; and when the younger tongue goes beyond the reach of speech to retort, the older hand hits back with d smack on the cheek. Then the step mother quits the room in dismay at what she has done and the step-daugh- ter does the most amusingly natural thing that is done in the plays whole length. Furious with rage, the girl gets to the telephone with a leap and a bound, rings up her mother ana shrieks into the receiver: She's slapped me- mamrna--she's slapped me she's slapped mel" The curtain knows this Is a time to drop, for 1t is sure to go up again and down again many times before the audience stops na- king a jolly noise.
 That and other incidents of the fam lily row in "The Intruder would make it go much better than 1t does If they were handled deftly; but they are not: and besides that, the actresses are not suitable for their tasks. Thompson Buchanan created this stepmother for Grace George, believe; and the gem tie manners of the physically delicate Grace would render the abused new wife's outbreaking blow stroke of victory for the comedy. But Janet Beecher is handsome creature of vim, looking quite able to take care of her. self. and so she Is a mistaken choice. Then again, Adelaide Manola, selected for the step-daughter. is like her mo. ther. Marian Manola, for sauey airs, and so she gets no sympathy Tor the girls grievances, where an ingenious creature would make an Annie Russell sort of triumph. As 1t fs, Janet and Adelaide suggest that they have been matched up for a fight with fists ra' ther than a contest of wits.
