MISSION THEATRE


An act so entirely different from
anything In its line that it has created
sensation in every city that it has
been presented Is promised in the first
appearance at the Mission for one week,
commencing next Thursday afternoon,
of Professor Pelham. the noted scien-
list Pelham is graduate of the Per
lin Medical institute and came to Amer
lea at salary greater than has ever
been paid for a vaudeville act in the
history of the American stage. His
act is called Concentration" and con-
sists OF wonderful exhibition of mind
over matter. 1t is what might be
be termed "hypnotism," but is so diff
ferent from anything of this kind ever
seen before that Il never failed to
arouse the keenest interest in the minds
of all who witness the act. Portland,
Ore. critics unite In declaring that the
act surpasSes anything ever seen in
that city. Pelham was billed for one
week in San Francisco. Before the END
of the week the demand for seats was
so great that the manager was forced
TO extend the engagement to two
weeks. Salt Lakers who saw the act
In San Francisco unite in saying that
II is the greatest they have ever wit
messed in their lives. Pelham extends
e special invitation to members of the
medical profession and scientists 10
witness his act and explain 1t if they
can how 1t is done. While the act is
of special interest to men of science,
II is no less interesting to the general
public There is enough clean humor
in the act to keep the audience inter-
ested even If there was nothing re
markable about the act. Press and
public where this act has been seen
declare that no adequate description
of 1t can be given, that IL must be
seen to be appreciated. The mere an
nouncement of the appearance in
vaudeville of Peter Baker ought to be
sufficient to pack the Mission at every
performance.
Twenty years ago the name of Peter
Baker was a household name among
the theatre Oers of the United states.
He was in a class all by himself as
public entertainer and still occupies
the same position Critics of every
city in the United States, well as
of those of London and other England
cities have united in declaring Baker
to be the best single entertainer that
is appearing in vaudeville today.
If the advance notices are to be re
lied upon one of the cleverest short
comedies seen in this city in a long
time will be "A Trial Marriage" as
presented by Keene and Briscoe. This
little sketch is written upon sup
posed law of Congress, permitting trial
marriages, and is described as a scream
from start to finish. Dolph and Susie
Levine promise new and up-to-date
act which closes with free-hand drawing
and song. This act has made a big
hit IN every city in which the Levinos
have appeared this season. Miss Abbie
Mitchell is another number of the bill
who scarcely needs an introduction
Her beautiful soprano voice has
charmed thousands in the past and is
said TO have lost none of its sweetness
I'm this. the first season that the young
woman has appeared in vaudeville.
Pero & Wilson promise an act in
comedy Juggling that is said to be diff
ferent from so many of this kind OF
acts which have been seen here in the
past The Mission orchestra will rem
der a number of new selections and
new moving pictures will make up
what is promised as a bill of extra |
ordinary merit
