AT THE ARCADE.

Manager Crews of the Arcade has
experienced no little difficulty this
week in securing his films on time
owing to the bad weather and heavy
SHOWS in the Cascade mountains. He
has, however, secured two very good
films, THE Modern Messenger Boy,
and In the Nick of Time The
Modern Messenger Boy" is new
version of the messenger boy joke.
Issy's adventures are quite up to the
limit Of fun representing the young
man performing all sorts of service
for different people, from hooking a
lady's dress to minding a baby. His
numerous escapades are all funny, SO
funny that the audience scarcely
ceases to laugh from the moment the
picture appears on the screen until
the last flash is gone. I'm the Nick of
Time" is a story of a robbed bank.
followed by a run of depositors, the
run of an automobile for sufficient
funds to tide over the difficulty, the
blowing up of a bridge and the con-
struction of a pontoon bridge by a de-
tachment of the engineers corps. a
revolver shot at the flying automobile,
with a return volley that kills the
guilty man, and the arrival in time to
save the bank from ruin, are enough
thrills for one film.

With the hurried packing and. the

1.-The House of a Thousand Candles"
One of the most delightful characters
in modern fiction and drama. is Bates,
the ;nscrutable butler IN tine Rouse
| of Thousand Candles the attrac.ioa
at the Keylor Theater on March 1st.
Bates is commanding character at
tracing the sympathy Of the audiencn
from the moment of his appearance
and holding it until the last act reveais
him in the light of a greater hcra than
the action of the present time permits.
He is possessed of a dry hEiao.. which
is an asset for any hero-he is brave,
fearless and a man of mystery lie.
above all of the characters, h lis the
key to the situation, the solution of the
riddle is in his hands. A. Il WORD from
him the mystery of The House oc e
Thousand Candles" would vanish, but
his loyalty to the whimsical builder of
the strange mansion and to that build
er's purpose-to bring his grandson
home and see him married to Marian
Devereaux seals his lips and makes
him as well as young Glenarm victim
of chickering's villiany. To him the
plan and declares his intention of pre-
tending to die. And it IS Bates who sum-
mons the grandfather to return when
he observes that an attack by Picker
ing and his armed hirelings upon the
mansion and its occupants cannot be
postponed Through his we'll timed
message and Marian's aid. the senior
Glenarm hastens to the scene in time
to prevent bloodshed that threatens to
be unavoidable. 1t is this unexpected
arrival to all except Bates, little less
than a resurrection, that marks the
climax of the play. From the time the
older Glenarm unfolds his plan and re-
parts so that it may be executed, to the
maj unOOlnS OF PICKERING, the course
of the piece is in the nature of steady
progress toward the final scene.
There are surprises, to be sure, but
they are consistent with the plot in
ception and development, and, on this
account the stage version is entirely
convincing in it's plausibility and suf-
ficiently reasonable. The play is said
to be unusually well constructed and
the characters we'll developed and
many of the lines are not only amusing
but brilliant. The scenes and the stu
ations have been carefully conceived
and the dramatic interest extraordi-
nary1y strong. The Indianapolis News
says: NO drama made from a novel In
recent years, not even excepting When
Knighthood Was In Flower has been
translated to the stage with more abil-
ity or success.
The original Hackett theater New
York production VIII be seen here, and
the engagement should prove one of
the most suspicious dramatic offerings
of the season.
