1915 THEATRE

A program will be presented at the
Isis theatre this week which, without
doubt. will prove to be one of the big
gest hits from every standpoint which
has been shown at this popular local
picture house for a long time. Repre-
sci tative productions from thee Bio
graph, Vitagraph and Patlie studios
will be shown, and as these film manu-
featuring concerns are conceded to be
topnotchers in the producing line,
something out Of the ordinary can be
anticipated In the biograph subject,
THE Final Settlement the awful re-
suit of drink is graphically shown,
teaching an object lesson well worth
while. Two woodsmen, chums since
boyhood, are in love with the same girl.
Both appear to be men Of good char
acter, and while Ruth cares for both as
friends, her love is for Jim. John real
ICES her preference, and withdraws.
Jim, however, becomes addicted to
drink, and Ruth dismisses him. John
now renews his suit and is successful.
Jim sinks lower and becomes a rene
gade. Five years later the chums meet
in the woods, and the old enmity is re-
vived. They quarrel and duel is ar
ranged. Jim, bent on robbery, breaks
into a cabin, and is surprised to find
learns, for the first time, Is married to
John. AS he leaves the awful thought
of his meeting with John occurs to him.
Between his love for Ruth and his thirst
for revenge, a problem of no small con-
sequence confronts him, and his de-
cision in the matter makes thrilling
climax to one of the most interesting
productions of the season. The mining
of mica is evidently not an occupation
that the average American would care
to leave his happy home for, if one may
judge from the series of views shown
in wonderfully realistic and interest
ing film from the celebrated Pathe
Freres studios entitled "a Mica Mine,
the Ullugura Mountains" We are
shown successfully views of the cara
van, starting from the point of depart
ure, crossing the turbulent mountain
streams, climbing the altitudinous
passes, and finally the arrival at the
mine, some 5000 feet above sea level.
Here the native workmen delve for the
valuable deposits of mica, which are in
what the coal miners call "outcrops,"
in other words, cropping out of the sur
face, thus eliminating the necessity of
deep shafts and tunnels. This beauti-
ully hand-colored industrial production
is novelty. The Vitagraph company's
dramatic subject. 'On the Border Line"
depicts jealousy, and shows how hus-
band was saved from the power of the
"green-eyed monster" This is a very
strong picture, acted with the fidelity
to the subject and attention to details
which characterizes the work of the vi
tagraph players. An )ther subjec. on this
excellent bill is the Biblical selection,
Joseph Sold by His Brethren" which
requires no description. as everybody

LUNA THEATRE.

The feature subject at the Luna thea
tire this week is an excellent subject
from the Pathe Freres studio in Paris,
and is taken from one of the most beau
tiful short stories in literature. This
production, 1.-THE Violin Maker of Gre
mona," is faithful reproduction from
a little gem from the pen of FRANCHISE
Coppee. The story of love, music and
self-sacrifice, the noble self-effacement
of the little hunchback who wins in
competition all he holds most dear, and
who then, because of his deformity, re-
linquishes his claim and gives all to his
rival, is a dramatic theme played with
sympathetic beauty and photographed
with rare excellence. A subject which
is sure to make a hit with Luna patrons
is biograph comedy production, 1.-The
Newlyweds." Two of the most delec-
table toys of Cupid are the woman
hater and the man-hater, and the anti
matrimonial CLUBS ara to him roaring
farces. He may play with you as a
fisherman plays with a trout, but you
are hooked eventually. A young man
Tilted by his fiancee, becomes a woman
hater. and joins the Anti-Mdrriage
club. In another part of the town a
young lady suffers like treatment by
her fiance. She becomes a man-hater

a little trip, but are seen returning by
the same train. and occupy the same
seat, though unknown to each other.
The young man on his way to the sta
ton has run into a child laden with
grocery parcels, Lnsetting her burden
among which is a bag of rice. In a
rage, she throws a handful Of the split
rice at him, several grains of which
stick to his clothing and hat. The pas
sengers see this, and assume it is a
bridal couple. A member of the anti
marriage club is aboard, and telegraphs
ahead that Dick Is traitor, and to ar
range a reception. Such a reception.
1t is indescribable That isn't the worst.
The mock bride is the recipient of many
wedding presents. Well, the presents
are not returned, and Dick becomes
part owner in them. A veritable comedy
of errors corrected by Cupid. An ex
traordinary attraction of exceptional
merit is a vitasraph production, IAN
Eye for an Eye" and is also included
on this program. 1t holds the undated
attention of the audience from point to
point, ending in a climax Of irresisti-
BILE applause. The plot of the story is
laid in two countries, Italy and Ameri-
ca. There is a wealth of good, live ac-
ton, without distortion of facts, and
satisfy the most critical. The Luna or
chestra will play some excellent selec-
lions, among which will be the 'Bo-
hemian Life" overture and selections
from Victor Herbert's Wonderland"

ELITE THEATRE.

at the Elite theatre this week an ex-
ceptionally strong bill is being presented,
two excellent feature subjects being in
Guided in the program. ITO Save Her
Soul, biograph drama, is one which de-
serves special mention, owing to the i'm
pressive lesson it teaches. Paul Redmond,
the young curate of the church, has taken
quite fancy to the little choir singer,
Agnes Holley, not fully realizing that he
deeply loved her until one day, while Ag
nes was practising her music on the or
gan, her beautiful voice attracted the at
tenllon or party in an automobile that
had become disabled on the road outside
the church. The occupant of the auto
mobile is none other than a great vaude-
Vile manager, who, struck with the fresh
young voice offers the little singer an
opportunity to shine in his music hall. 1t
is now that Paul realizes how much he
loves the girl, and approaching the dan
ger that may beset her, tries to persuade
her not to accept the offer. Despite his
pleading she goes and is soon introduced
into new and dazzling circle. Arduous
study and rehearsals fit her for her de-
but, and her first night is a veritable tri-
umph. Another subject which will prove
justly popular is an educational picture
from the famous Urban-Eclipse studios,
From the Fighting Top of Battleship"
IN action. This picture takes the audience
right into the great turret of a Dread
naught' with twin twelve-inch, quick-fir-
ing guns. Every detail can be closely in
Specteu, SO perfect is the photography.
The guns are raised automatically and al
ternately loaded, sighted and fired.
Everything is hidden in tremendous
clouds of smoke. Then after the smoke
has cleared away, the targets are brought
aboard and we see how perfect has been
the craftsmanship. A western headliner,
which without doubt is one of the best
productions of the kind, will be shown. 1t
Is from the Selig manufacturing company,
who nave made a speciality of wild west
productions. This subject, "A Daughter
of the Sioux" was produced on the plains
of western Nebraska with real Sioux In
dams and enlisted United States regulars,
and is absolutely authentic as to scenery,
costumes and the like. To fail to see this
production would be to miss a genuine
treat The remaining subject on the pro-
gram is drama full of intensely exciting
situations, depicting life among the daring
bandits of Italy. "Fiorella, the Bandits
Daughter, is sure to be regarded as a
distinct feature. Bert DIN and Arthur
Wake will again have charge of the mu-
steal end of the performance, and the lat
ter VIII sing some new songs in the spot
light. Two excellent new illustrated bal
lads Will complete one Of the very best
programs of the season.

To the Theatre Magazine ]. E.
Dodson, the successful character ac-
tor, reveals the secrets of his makeup
for Sir John Cotswold in "The House
Next Door," Says the actor;
There are not hard and fast rules to
go by in making up. The actor has TO
adapt his makeup to different parts
and he has TO take into account his own
individuality. First, l mold the nose
out of nose putty-tiiat is, in part hat
demands it. For this part the nose adds
a great deal of character. Although Sir
John is an aristocrat. / do not make an
essentially aristocratic nose, because the
conventional. thin, aquiline nose is only
one element In the makeup of the
aristocrat, and there is so much COM
edy. so much strength and so much
pathos in a role of this kind that a
mere thin, aquiline nose would hamper
rather than aid in the makeup. A
rigid. hard, aristocratic nose would give
a set and unlikely appearance, and, ii
contrast with the other facial charac-
teristies of Sir John, II would be \
blemish rather than a mark OF charac-
ter"
While Mr.. Dodson was talking he had
taken a piece OF nose putty about the
size of a good-sized cherry and had fat
tened it out into sort of flapjack about
ali inch and a half to two inches in
diameter. Then he took email pair of
scissors and cut out two triangular
pieces about a third of the way in
toward the center. Next he moistened
the end and the lower i;art of his own
nose with q little water on his fingers
and put on some powdered mucilage.
The circular fiapjack minus the two tri-
angular pieces was then slapped onto
his nose. In the meantime Zip had been

SCHUMANN-HETNK,

The great cOntralto, Madam Schu-
mann Heink, will soon be here. Her
date has been fixed for Monday, March
IA, and Manager Pyper who has the
local arrangements under his super
vision, has been besieged with inquiries
concerning the great songbird The
madams western trip has been one
continuous ovation, and the first days
sale in Portland amounted to $1,000. The
Musical Courier, speaking of a recent
concert Of Madam -Heipk,
says that upon no occasion has Nine.
Schumann-Heink offered a program
more complete in arrangement, since it
was built upon the right musical lines,
song following song with due regard
for the juxtapositiOn. And yet 1t was
different to that usually heard, only
four composers, besides those in the
English group being called into requisi-
ton. She is so thoroughly mistress of
her faces, so entirely sufficient in her
self, that whatever she offers is so much
gain to her hearers.
Zone does not think any more than
does she of the vocal method employed.
she just sings as her artistic instinct
dictates, and with this is allied hon
esty of purpose, sincerity and genuine
sympathy. Nine. Schumann-Hein
never forgets essentials, and it is doubt
full if she were ever known to be care
less. She is as deft at vocal delineation
as a great painter at his canvas. No
one not absolutely insensate could have
listened to her marvellous voicing Of the
''Erl King and remain unmoved. 1t
was the most heartfelt, most human
narrative ever given by any artist in
any concert hall. In it Schumann-
Heink reached the acme of greatness.
for she gave new and powerful read
ing which not only produced a remark
able effect on the musical but on the
uncultured, and this is the test af an
artists ability. After the cry King"
nothing else was possible, although a
greedy audience tried to induce the
singer to sing again, but it would have
been an anti-climax, and she Fortunate
ly refused to sacrifice art for good ma
ture.s
ITO describe in detail her program
would be to reiterate what everyone
hearing her must have said for wears.
that nothing she undertakes is done
otherwise than with the soul of an art
list, and that whether it is in Mem
delssohn or Brahms or Strauss, the
characteristics of all are for the mo-
ment the singers own. The power to
give absolute pleasure is her natural
gift. just as the desire to satisfy all
artistic demands is innate with her. The
woman who can suggest two such moods
as the "Sapphische Ode" of Brahms
and within a short time Lang's Irish
Folk Song" knows no bounds to her art.
Never has the Irish Folk Song" been
sung with more tenderness nor with a
more delicious suspicion of a brogue.
But each number of the entire program
could be taken and dwelt upon. and
with no suggestion of extravaganza,
for where there is combined mastery
of expression. technic. great voice and
the charm of dignified womanliness,
there is nothing left to desire"

The dramatic possibilities of this subject
can we'll be imagined and everything is
taken advantage of by the producers and
performers in this thrilling dramatic fea-
ture. 1t Is an impossiDility to give de-
scription of this piece which would do
justice to it, but 1t must be seen to be
appreciated. Two comedies are shown in
the program this week which in point of
excellence from every standpoint, exceeds
anything which has been shown in the
city for long time. They are IS. & S,

Nov I paint my nose. which is graft

color, using a camers-hair brush As
the character / am making UP for is an
aged man of an irritable disposition, it
is presupposed that he is bilious, so
use this pink and yellow grease paint
to give sallow appearance, and in or
der to get into the general tone of the
makeup for this part. Having done
this, adjust the nose and then cover
the entire face with cold cream so as to
prevent the skin from becoming irri-
tated, and in order to give a smooth
foundation for the grease paint Next,
l put on the foundation of flesh colored
grease paint all over the face, which
afterward has to be colored according
to the nature Of the part. For this part
being as ! said a bilious old man, then
put on dull yellow over the founda-
ton, which gives a sallowish tint. Now

of my fingers and doing much the same
as does the sculptor working in clay.

originated it. They would crowd around
the entrance and hang about the curb and
when they heard the chorus of Throw
Him Down, McCluskey' and the gallery
singing with me. they would make a noise
on the sidewalk. This gave me the idea
later on of ringing in the stage hands to
rattle china and old tin pans, shoot off

possible during the fight.
Many OF those boys who hung about

that they have, and that when they ask

MISSION THEATRE.

Acts should arrive in Salt Lake early
Monday morning. The bill is one of the
best that has ever been sent you
This is the substance of a telegram
received late yesterday afternoon by Man.
ager John Z. Clark regarding the bill
which should have opened at the Mis-
sion last Thursday afternoon. but which
was delayed by floods in Nevada.
The dispatch to Manager Clark was
later confirmed in a telegram received at
the local office of the Oregon Short
Line, which stated that the train car
rying the people that should have ar
rived in this city last Wednesday night
but which was held at Inlay, New, for
two days, had reached Sacramento and
had been detoured via Portland should
reach this city Monday morning. This is
the second time that the Mission has
been up against it, because of floods
on western railroads. When it was
known that the acts for the bill would
reach this city several days late,
patrons of the house asked that some
kind of a substitute bill be put on. The
matter was carefully canvassed by Mr.
Clark, who reached the conclusion that
il would be better to keep the house
dark than TO put on a poor bill. The
five numbers of the bill which is expected
to open Monday afternoon are said to be
among the best that has ever been seen
in this city in vaudeville.
