The Bclasco.

The second and final week of Raineys
African hunt motion pictures begins with
the performance at the Belasco Theater
this evening.
Beginning with the preparations for
the sjaunt at Nairobi, British East Africa,
the spectator is shown the Typography of
the strange country, its natives and their
customs, the hunt and trapping of many
wild beasts, the Mississippi-bred boar
hounds in full cry at the ferocious chez
tab er leopard, and the kingly lion. which
they bring to earth, proving Mr.. Rainey's
contention that his American hunting
dogs are the peer Of any on earth.
The water hole, where the jungle beasts
gather from miles around during the
drought, is marvellous picture of the
wild life in its free state. Here is the
rhinoceros, giraffes, balloons, deer. and
numerous other denizens gather all un-
consciously for the camera man. The
talk which Mr.. Reginald Darlington gives
at each performance is a delightful fea-
ture of the entertainment. Matinee and
evening performances are given daily.

BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

It has not been so many years age
since E. H. Sothern was ridiculed from
one end OF the country to the other be-
cause he proposed play, which he had
at that time Just completed. The Foo
Hath Said in His Heart There is Nc
God" Because of this suggested title
MIR. Sothern had no peace from, the hu.
morists, one of whom entered into his
comment on the profused title as a sug-
gestion that the next piece which should
serve as a vehicle for John Drew be en-
titled His Patent Leather Pumps Would
Have Been a Better Fit II He Hadn't
Bought Them Ready Made" and 50
pleased was he with this bit of jocularity
that he went on to advise Mr.. Frohman
to feature Maude Adams in a play to
the Thirteenth Hole He Never Would
Have Used the Language That First
Attracted the Widowed Heart of the
Lady Babbie to His Personal Pulcri-
tude."
II those who laughed then will take
a little look over the list of plays pro-
duced last season. and those announced
for this season, they will find 1t a diff
cult matter to distinguish the real thing
from the joke.
Mr.. Sothern's proposed title, The Fool
Hath Said in His Heart There is No
God" is short and sane one, compared
TO some of the wild phraseology under
which some Of our present-day theatrical
productions sail along to success or fall
ure-
Last season when one was invited to
go TO the theater to see Alma, Where
Do You Liver" the title evoked a smile,
but such one sinks to modest oblivion
when We confront some of those around
which We will be supposed to twist our
tongues this season.
For example We are promised Hans
Sonnenstosser's Ride to He'll ITO
Whom Does Helen Belong?'' They Say
He Went to College" Are You My
Wife," 'Oh, Oh. Dephine," ''Mind-the-
Paint Girl Whose Helen Are YOU"
Lieutenant What's-His-Name, 1T De-
pends on the Woman The Pet of the
Petticoats." and innumerable others
equally wild and absurd.
