TIE PLAZA

Music, fun and novelty predominant
in admirable balance in today's new
bill of pictorials vaudeville at The
Plaza. The Musical Kleisses, a. quar-
tet of accomplished musicians, two of
whom are children of great clevern ess
and charming personality, present an
instrumental act Of high order Their
selections are both popular and high
class, and all are rendered with a
spirit and an artistic finish which
makes their Offering enjoyable both to
the discriminating and to the popular
ear. The children will especially APP
peal to the ladies and the little folks
and the whole act is sure to delight
all lovers of good music. The Nc
AIeavy Marvels contribute a novelty
act, in which they dem onstrate their
claim to be the worlds greatest Jump
ers, some of their stunts being of most
sensational character. Louis Bates &
Co. offer a hilarious farce entitled
His Mother, which is the more en-
joyable because of the fact that the
actors are all natural comedians gift
ed with the happy faculty of making
every funny line and situation count
for its utmost. Frances Gerard, a
superior vocalist, renders a group of
well-contracted songs and Incidentally
delights the eyes of her sex with some
SWagger Partisan gowns. Among the
new motion pictures is the merry Vita
graph farce, 'The Widows Might,
which is not only extremely funny
but offers someE pertinent food for
thought in connection with the stuff

Through the efforts of the local
Shriners committee the charming OPP
eretta 1.-THE Spring Maid, which made
local music lovers last year forget all
other musical shows, has been spe-
ciaHy booked for return date at the
Park theatre tonight. The dainty love
story which forms the plot of e'The
Spring Maid" is perhaps the secret
Of its wonderful charm. Princess Be-
zena, the bewitching heroine who pos
es as spring girl and dances with
Prince Aladar is a, fascinating figure
every moment she is on the stage. The
music in this famous success is it's
strongest appeal for high class pat
ronage. Two Little Love Bees
DAY Dreams, - Glow I Love a Pretty
Face and the gems with which the
operetta, abounds have been whistled
and sung everywhere. Werba, and
Luescher will present the opera here

who comes home after a long bust
ness trip only to find that his wife
has embraced woman suffrage and is

ATTRACTIONS
1.-THE THEATRES
LYRIC THEATRE

For the production of David Har-
urn,'' which will be made TINS week by
the Eleanor Cleveland Stock com
pany, the cast of characters will be
David Harum. Edward Nannery:
John Lenox. Clifford Bruce; General
Wolsey, Leslie King; .'Chet T1mson,
Ben Southerd; Dick Laribee, Charles
Mitzel; Zeke Swinney, Wilbur Will
Iiams; Amos Elright, Allen Schreck;
Dug Robinson, Joseph Raymond; Bill
Montaig, Bert Robinson; Mary Blake,
bee, Miss Gertrude, Maitland; and
Widow Cu1Ium Miss Margaret Lewis.
A stronger cast could hardly be
imagined than this, and it will make
this presentation rank as one of the
finest dramatic offerings of the sea-
son by this popular company. The
presentation of the play is made at
this time as the direct result of popu-
ing been received by the management
asking that David Harum'' be pre-
sented. Miss Cleveland,S it will be
noted, is still absent in the West, and
her place will be most acceptably fill
ed by Miss GRADER, who made such
commendtble hit last week in Mann
ze11e.''
The stage production which will be
made of this play will be in Karkun off
& SchrocIx's best form, and not a de-
tail will be missed. During the many
years which this play was presented
by William H. Crane, it enjoyed a
measure of success which few other
plays could equal, and it's revival, this
week will be the source of pleasure
for big audiences.
The week will open with the Tues
day matinee, but the Tuesday even
ing performance will be omitted; from
will be no interruption in the regular
performances.
